Just when several major film companies were engaged in publicity, Yan Qiudi called Gu Weiqi and told Gu Weiqi that he had ordered the acquisition of several theaters to buy 5 shops suitable for decoration into theaters, and they had been renovated and were currently purchasing equipment. Once the equipment is in place, it's ready for business.

After Gu Weiqi received the call, he praised Yan Qiudi for doing a good job, originally there were only 14 theaters in the "Tang Dynasty Cinema Line", which is still not as good as the "Shao's Cinema Line" and "Jiahe Cinema Line", but now with the increase of 5 theaters, it has reached 19, and it has become a large cinema chain that does not lose to these two cinemas. This provides a strong guarantee for the future development of "Donglai Company", and with the increase of theaters, the box office competitiveness has also been greatly enhanced.

With the vigorous development of "Donglai Company", it has also led to the development of other companies under Gu Weiqi's name. For example, every time a movie is filmed, the acknowledgement unit always has the company under his name. In particular, there are useful shots of restaurants and shopping malls, which are directly filmed in "Yushanfang International Restaurant" and "Tang Dynasty International Supermarket", which invisibly does enough publicity, and will slowly increase the fame of its industry over time.

In fact, according to Gu Weiqi's industrial development layout, he also uses movies as a promotional link to stimulate the profit growth of other industries. This strategy is undoubtedly very clever. Especially now that "Donglai Company" is only famous in Xiangjiang, with the continuous expansion of popularity in the future, the benefits for the development of other companies will be even greater. But that's for later.

At this time, Gu Weiqi and Yan Qiudi talked on the phone and went to the ten theaters that were renovated and about to officially open, not bad, the lowest of the ten theaters has 500 seats, and the number is as high as more than 1,500 seats, and the total number of seats has reached 10,500, and when the remaining 10 theaters of the initial investment are done, there will be at least 20,000 seats.

In addition to the cinema, the small shops and cafes that are matched with it are basically alive. So Gu Weiqi asked people to get a batch of copies of "happy ghosts" from Xiangjiang. planned to release the film when it officially opened, and in order to solve the obstacles of the Thai audience, he also found someone to dub and subtitle Taibang.

In fact, Taibang is still quite close to Xiangjiang, and the cultural background can be said to be similar. Now with subtitles and Taibang dubbing, Gu Weiqi expects that it should be able to solve the problem of viewing obstacles. At the same time, 38 "Jade Shanfang International Restaurant" hotel chains and 38 "Tang Dynasty International Supermarket" hotels also opened on the same day.

However, these companies that opened were all set up by Gu Weiqi's "Dragon King Mercenary Group" with the territory of other legions seized during the war era, and had nothing to do with the cooperation of the royal family. But King Arun Yerai still sent people to send congratulatory plaques, and even Princess Yana brought many dignitaries and daughters to dine and shop in hotels and supermarkets on the same day; On that day, General Tiecha and Meng Chai both brought soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition to the scene in person, and there were originally some powerful ruffians who still wanted to knock on it. But now that the backs of these two chain companies are so deep, naturally no one dares to make trouble.

Not long after the opening of these two chain companies, "Tang Dynasty Cinemas" also officially opened, and "Happy Ghost" was welcomed as soon as it was released that day. It is a good start, especially in order to start the popularity of the theater chain and increase the audience's movie-watching craze, Gu Weiqi also used Xiangjiang's set of ticket lottery here, but it received good results.

With the official opening of the theater, Gu Weiqi also sent the remaining 10 million US dollars to General Tiecha, and after the other party received the money, he sent people to actively select the site and invest in the construction. All in all, the two sides are working together so far.

And just when the various companies here were running smoothly, Gu Weiqi gave another order to Meng Chai to follow Alice to Myanmar in batches with a selected 800-strong elite soldier, and lay the front station for his next stop to personally go to Myanmar to develop a cinema line. After all, the industry here is slowly becoming formalized, and the future development will be managed by a special person, so he doesn't need to worry about it anymore. His purpose is to have a global perspective, and naturally it is impossible to stay in Taibang for a long time.

However, before going to Myanmar, Gu Weiqi needed to go back to Xiangjiang, after all, he had been in Taibang for almost two months, and various companies in Xiangjiang must have squeezed out a lot of documents and official business that he needed to deal with personally. Especially if he does not appear in Xiangjiang for a long time, it is inevitable that some ambitious people will have ideas in their hearts, not that he lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but that as the company under his name grows more and more, the recruitment of personnel will inevitably be uneven. You must know that there are big trees and dead branches, not to mention so many enterprises, so I stayed in Taibang for another seven or eight days and then took a plane back to Xiangjiang. And Princess Yana also followed him to Xiangjiang.

After returning to Xiangjiang, Gu Weiqi did not rush to the company to handle official business, but first accompanied Anita Mui, Guan Zhilin, Zheng Wenya, Li Saifeng, Fang Lingwei, Shirley and other women to relax for a few days. Of course, he also introduced Princess Yana to a group of women, and seeing that her boyfriend had another woman, everyone naturally felt uncomfortable.

Gu Weiqi tried his best to coax the women to be happy, and then went to the film company. Chen Xunqi and Lin Zhenying were found and asked to report the situation. So the two told him about the company's operations during this time.

In addition to "Happy Ghost" achieved a good box office, suppressing "Oriental Charm" and "Dark Horse Company" produced "Dragon Hunt" and "Martial Saint Heir", the currently being released "Clever Trick Five Lucky Stars" has also achieved a very good box office. This film has been released for almost a month and has a box office of 28 million, which not only suppressed the "Elders" released by "Shao's Cinema" and "Golden Princess" in the same period, and the "Happy Campus" filmed by "Xin Yicheng" that followed the trend of "Happy Ghost", but even the momentum of the blockbuster "Cannonball Speed" invested by "Jiahe" in the United States has also been suppressed.

It's just that the box office potential of this film has been tapped, so now there are 19 theaters, and 4 continue to be released. The other 15 theaters released "Good Boy: Little Dragon Out of the Mountain", this film is just in time for the end of the summer file, which has triggered a movie-watching boom among students on summer vacation, and has also achieved a good box office, and is currently in theaters.

In addition, the "Prison Lock Raptor" starring Liu Dehua, Hong Jinbao and He Jiajian has also been produced and can be released at any time. As soon as Gu Weiqi heard this, he became interested, so he asked people to take a copy of this film and show it again. I have to say that Liu Dehua's skills are still very good, but his acting skills are inevitably a little unsatisfactory. However, He Jiajian is a good material for playing a villain by nature, and in this film, he plays the viciousness of the villain "Lai Maniac", which makes people want to rush into the screen and beat him up.

And the villains who cameo by Zhang Guorong, Wan Ziliang and Lin Zhenying, the killer Qianglong, the thief Jiang Yang, the retired SWAT Gao Fei, and Shange Yunton, Dong Wei, and Hui Tian are also remarkable, and it is foreseeable that the box office of this film should not be too bad. However, some of these details are inevitably not handled properly with his years of experience in the industry, so he brought them up and asked them to make up some shots to try their best, after all, he also plans to use this film to hit the European and American film markets.

The two felt that what Gu Weiqi said made sense, so they nodded frequently, although it was more troublesome to reshoot, especially the waste of investment costs, but they also agreed. After all, it is not easy for the "Oriental Hollywood International Film Company" to establish this signboard, although it is just a little bit of a habit, but in the long run, it will definitely not be conducive to the long-term development of the company, and it is a long-term strategy to prevent micro problems.

After explaining the two, the two left to be busy.

Gu Weiqi then made a phone call to Mashadina in the United States and asked about the development of the "Oriental Mythology International Entertainment Pictures" company in the United States during the next period. The other party told him that the company's current operation is very good, and two days ago, the financial side of Fox Film Company just called 58 million US dollars in the revenue share of the videotapes and peripheral product development in the past few months.

However, the box office revenue of the release of "The Great Diamond Robbery" was not ideal, and it only got more than 50 million US dollars at the box office after 20 days of release, which is much worse than "The Grandmaster of National Art Starting from Scratch". Despite this, with the box office share increased to 4%, it still received more than 20 million US dollars, which is a big profit. And this is only the box office of the United States, and the European side has also achieved a box office of more than 30 million, and the film has made a profit of more than 30 million US dollars for the company in Europe and the United States.

But "Mr. Zombie" hit the streets in the United States, and it was a mess, and it was released in a hurry, and the attendance rate was less than 50%, so Fox hurriedly painted. Gu Weiqi sighed secretly, this is the result of cultural differences. It's a funny plot in the eyes of the Chinese, but the audience over there can't understand it at all. However, they agreed to cooperate in the distribution of the videotape of this film, and the videotape distribution of "The Great Diamond Robbery" is also good, which can bring a lot of income to the company in the future.

In addition, Marthadina participated in the filming of 3 low-budget horror films, and the first "exorcism" currently being filmed has received a profit of more than 20 million US dollars. The remaining two "Mutant Werewolves" and "The Witch" are still being filmed. As for how much profit can be made, we can only know after the release.

Gu Weiqi chatted with Mashadina for a while before hanging up the phone, when Fang Lingwei came in and told him that Xu Anhua was coming. So he invited the other party to the living room, and asked her what was the matter.

The other party told him that the "Story of Hu Yue", which he invested in and starring Zhou Yunfa and Zhong Chuhong, had been produced, and asked him when he would arrange the release. This time, he suddenly realized that although this film was invested by himself, strictly speaking, he didn't care much. If it weren't for Anwar Xu coming to tell him now, he would have almost forgotten about it.

In fact, it is no wonder that he has too many things to do all day. Especially this is still a typical literary film, and as far as he knows, the box office of this film in the original time and space seems to be only more than 3.8 million, although it is good that a literary film can achieve such a high box office at that time. However, he didn't take it to heart, and the reason why he invested in this film was mainly because of the other party's fame.

But now that the production is complete, it is natural to arrange a release plan for the other party. It's just that now there are two films that have been released in "Tang Dynasty Cinemas", and there are no extra theaters to shoot for the time being, which can't help but make him feel a big headache, and secretly sigh, there are still too few theaters.

So I chatted with her for a while, and asked her to edit out a wonderful trailer first, and put it on the "Phoenix TV" side for advertising, and he would say hello to the person in charge there, but as for the specific release time, it needs to wait until the box office potential of the "Clever Five Lucky Stars" is exhausted.
