Chapter 290: Everything
“……
Let's all dance
Happy ghost! Happy ghost!
Crazy enough to give birth to ghosts
Happy ghost! Happy ghost!
……”
In a small test room that has just been built in Wanda Company in Sihai Building, when the ending song of "Happy Ghost" sounded, the people in the entire test room invariably gave lively applause.
There are a lot of people in the test room, such as Li Xuan, Wang Liquan and Xian Qiqi, the senior executives of Wanda Company, and Wang Jin, Li Lizhen, Zhou Huimin and Liang Chaowei, etc., seven or eight crew creators, and more people are those independent theater owners who joined.
This time, Li Xuan and his team absorbed a total of 11 theaters, plus Li Xuan's own 10 theaters, the scale of Wanda Cinema Line reached 21, far exceeding Shaw Brothers and Yindu, ranking among the top three Hong Kong cinema chains.
Of course, because of the background, Li Xuan's Wanda Cinema Line is not as good as the same number of Golden Harvest for the time being, but Li Xuan believes that it will be sooner or later than it will be surpassed.
Li Xuan and the bosses of the theater franchise have just negotiated and completed most of the details for the formation of the theater, and now the test film is also to give them a reassurance before the official opening.
Otherwise, the premiere movie Li Xuan and the three of them can call the shots, so why bother trying out any film with them.
"Guys, how do you feel after reading it?" Li Xuan stood up and asked while clapping.
Xian Qilu nodded and said, "Yes, I feel that this film should be very marketable." ”
The owners of the independent theaters haven't spoken yet, but their own executive director, Xian Qilu, has spoken first, and his business purpose is to focus on the middle class. Advocating making big money with small productions. The budget of this "Happy Ghost" is only more than 1 million. The plot is more exciting. It's very much to his liking.
What's more important is that even if this movie hits the streets, the company will not lose anything.
"Haha, Boss Li, how can we rough people understand movies." The owner of the Yinghua Cinema stood up and said with a big grin: "You are all big experts in playing movies, and Director Wang Jin and Wang Da are famous directors in Hong Kong, from this point of view, I believe you." Everyone said no! ”
"Yes! We believe in Boss Lee. ”
"That's right, who can play movies in Hong Kong now than Boss Li."
"Boss Li, when will the line be opened, I can't wait."
“……”
Due to the continuous prosperity of the film and television industry, many low-level people with small family properties have poured into this industry, and Hong Kong cinemas have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Many people have two-story properties in their homes, and they can't earn much rent from renting anyway, so they simply open up and renovate it into a neighborhood theater. But what if there is no film source? It doesn't matter. Shaw Brothers' Fengyue films and Japanese ** films a long time ago are very popular with the audience. Don't worry about not making money. Besides, in the past, many movies had to be released to other cities to make money, but now they can make money in Hong Kong, and these producers are not looking for a theater to send movies to death.
As a result, the number of cinemas in Hong Kong has skyrocketed in the past two years, and many independent film companies have emerged.
For example, 6 of the 11 independent theaters in this franchise have only been established in the past two years, and one of them has just been renovated.
Li Xuan pressed his hand and said with a smile: "Since you think so highly of us, then the publicity plan for this "Happy Ghost" must also be launched, after all, we will officially open the line at the beginning of July, and now a series of publicity activities still hope that the bosses will support us." ”
"That's for sure, Boss Li!" As soon as the words fell, everyone got up in response.
Li Xuan immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay, thank you, I wish us a happy cooperation." I booked a shark fin feast at FLM, everyone, please! ”
"Okay, Boss Li is arrogant enough, please! Please! ”
Li Xuan sent a bunch of theater owners out, and when he looked back, he saw that the crew of "Happy Ghost" was still sitting there, and hurriedly called: "Wang Fatzi, don't bring your people to follow." ”
"Let's go too?" Wang Fatzi asked in surprise.
"Of course, I'm not short of that money." Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "I opened a separate table for you, which is enough for you to eat." ”
"Oh yes! Girls, go, follow my brother and me to the shark fin feast. Wang Jin shouted, and then unceremoniously led a group of people outside.
"Brother Xuan, aren't you going?" Zhou Huimin asked in a low voice as he walked up to Li Xuan's side.
"Go, but I still have some things to finish here." Li Xuan glanced at the young girl in front of him, and continued to smile: "You go over to eat first, and I'll come over immediately." ”
"Hmm."
The little girl responded like a mosquito, and then caught up with the two daughters in front, Li Lizhen and Chen Jialing. The three girls didn't know what to say, and they laughed at each other in an instant, and the youthful vitality provoked the three lewd men next to them, Liang Chaowei, Zhou Xingchi and Wang Jin, to look sideways.
Li Xuan also looked at the backs of the girls and touched his chin, how could he be so busy that he forgot about it......
"Hey, old Ye, what have you been busy with lately? Don't forget that you have a manager's position on my side. As soon as he thought of it, Li Xuan went back to his office directly and called Ye Zhiming.
", my manager is not a nominal name now, you are still the second shareholder of my record company, why don't you come all day." Ye Zhiming scolded with a smile, and then said: "Hurry up and say something, I'm busy here." ”
"You're a record company, why don't you just release albums, what are you busy with?"
I only heard Ye Zhiming reply over there: "Isn't this Hung Hom Stadium just opened, Xu Yijie just held a concert there at the beginning of last month, I'm wondering if it's for Guorong and Shuhua to have one." ”
"The two of them?" Li Xuan touched his chin and replied, "They sing too little alone, and if two people open together, it will be troublesome again." ”
"Less songs? You can help write two more songs. ”
"Aha, don't look for me about this, you have recruited a few gold medal producers under your hands, there will definitely be no shortage of songs, and the theme song of "Happy Ghost" on my side is still written with your help." Li Xuan hurriedly refused here.
"Okay, okay, I'm not looking for you." Ye Zhiming said impatiently over there: "Come on, what are you looking for me for?" ”
"How about recommending a rookie singer group to you?" Li Xuan asked with a smile here.
"A group of singers?" Ye Zhiming's voice was stunned, and he hurriedly asked, "What combination?" ”
Li Xuan said with a smile: "You know Wang Jin's "Happy Ghost", I am going to pull the three heroines out to form a singing group. ”
"Hey, can that film have such an impact?"
"You don't believe me?" Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Forehead......" Ye Zhiming hesitated for a while, and then said slowly: "I'm a little unsure, after all, the investment in the movie is only more than one million." ”
"That's why Lao Ye, you can't play the movie, you don't have the vision yet." Li Xuan sighed.
"!" Ye Zhiming scolded with a smile and said, "If you are so confident, then send it over to try, anyway, the singer, the more the merrier I have here." ”
Li Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take them to your place tomorrow morning, this time it's in a hurry, it is estimated that the record will not be released at the same time as the movie, but we still have to hurry up." ”
"Well, that's fine, see you tomorrow." Ye Zhiming nodded over there and answered.
Just when Li Xuan was busy over there for this opening and summer file, Zou Wenhuai was also busy over there for the summer file of Golden Harvest. And he is busier than usual, because this year's opponent has one more Wanda in addition to a golden princess.
As for the old rival Shaw Brothers, please ignore it automatically.
"This Li Xuan is so bold, and the invitation card was sent to me." Zou Wenhuai looked at the red invitation on the desk and smiled.
He Yichang darkened his face as usual, and said coldly: "Throw it away, what are you doing with it?" ”
"No!" Zou Wenhuai pushed the invitation in front of He Yichang, and said with a smile: "After all, people sent us invitations, we can't be stingy, let's ask Yongchang to participate on my behalf, just say that I, well, just say that I have been sick recently because of the hot weather." ”
"This anti-bone boy, it's too ...... to bully people" He Xichang paused, suddenly sighed and said: "Okay, I'll send it to Yongchang later." ”
"Hmm." Zou Wenhuai nodded and said: "By the way, Wanda is menacing this time, I guess Princess Jin will definitely not be able to stop him this time, you can talk to Sanmao and Ah Long again, and let them use more snacks in movie promotion." ”
This summer, Golden Harvest has only arranged for the release of three movies, including "Police Story 2" in August, "Zombie Family" in July, and "Ghost Out" in July to warm up in July and August, this movie is the work of McDonald's Company.
It can be seen that after Golden Harvest lost Wu Yusen and Li Xuan in a row, there are not many summer works that can be suppressed.
As for Princess Jin, the great director Xu Ke has not recovered from the blow of "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan", and Lei Juekun can not care about it, but the three bosses of Xinyi City are not atmospheric people, so there are no works of his work released this summer.
Instead, there are two small-budget movies in Xinyicheng - "Young Master Weiwei" and "Prying the Corner", and then Yongjia's "Modern Yamen".
These three are all small-budget productions, so Golden Harvest didn't take the golden princess in their eyes this time.
It's just that this Wanda Cinema Line is well-connected, and it's not easy to deal with......
