Luo Weiming parked his car in the underground parking lot of the Oriental Charm Building, then walked towards the elevator with his briefcase and a newspaper in his hand. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Editor-in-Chief Luo, this way."

Luo Weiming looked up and saw that it was Qiu Liben, the editor-in-chief of "Shengshi Oriental Weekly", who was standing in the elevator leading to the seventh floor waiting for him, and hurriedly took three steps and two steps, and rushed over.

"Editor-in-Chief Qiu wants to see the boss?"

"No, I wrote the manuscript until midnight last night, and now I am not in good spirits, and I want to go to the seventh floor to have a cup of coffee to relieve my fatigue."

"Coincidentally, I'm dizzy too, and I'm going to have a drink." After Luo Weiming waited for the elevator door to close, he tapped his forehead with a newspaper and asked, "When did you come back from the mainland?" ”

"I came back on Friday night, one day earlier than Mr. Shen." Qiu Liben saw the headline in the newspaper and asked with a smile: "Editor-in-chief Luo went to the banquet last night and drank too much?" ”

"The boss invited a friend, how can we soldiers have a chance to join in the fun, I waited for the box office statistics last night, waited until midnight, and didn't sleep well." Luo Weiming laughed and teased: "The boss's romantic affairs, it's best for us to avoid them as subordinates, otherwise if the East Palace and the West Palace fight, the pillow wind can blow people to death." ”

Qiu Liben has a calm personality, not as casual as Luo Weiming, he echoed and smiled, and asked instead: "How is the box office of the newly released movie?" ”

"It's very good, yesterday I received 780,000 yuan a day, which was much higher than expected, and the boss personally went out to do publicity, and the effect was not ordinary."

"780,000 a day, two weeks of release, that should be more than 10 million, right?"

"Maybe it's more than that, this movie will be released for a month."

Most of the employees in the Oriental Charm Building are engaged in movie-related work, Qiu Liben also knows some common sense, he was a little surprised, and asked: "According to the convention, aren't these small-budget movies all released for two weeks?" ”

"It will be released in Golden Harvest theaters for two weeks, and then it will be transferred to South China Cinema and Broadway Cinema for another two weeks." Luo Weiming explained: "Literary films do not have a strong momentum as commercial films, but as long as the reputation is good, the stamina is enough, and the box office falls slowly, and the trickle is long...... When I arrived, Editor-in-Chief Qiu invited first. ”

On the left is the office area where Shen Chong and Zhang Aijia's offices are located, and on the right is the staff rest area consisting of a recreation room, a gym and a café.

Qiu Liben got out of the elevator and asked as he walked towards the café: "Isn't Nanhua Cinema a theater of a leftist film company?" Miss Chang is Taiwanese, and the movie she directed was released there, not afraid of getting into trouble? ”

"I used to be a leftist, but I don't know how the boss subleased it in June, but now it's Oriental Charm's own theater."

"I see." Qiu Li knew this, he said with a smile: "From this point of view, Mr. Shen has been prepared for building a cinema in the mainland. ”

Luo Weiming was taken aback, subconsciously stopped, and asked, "The boss wants to build a cinema in the mainland?" ”

"Why don't you know?" Qiu Liben looked back at him and said, "Mr. Shen went to Beijing this time to talk about the theater chain. ”

"I haven't seen the boss yet...... Let's go, let's go inside. ”

The two entered the café, each ordered coffee, and then found a corner by the window to sit down, Luo Weiming asked: "Didn't the boss go to Beijing to talk about the tallest building in Asia?" ”

"That has already been decided, and going to Beijing is just a formality." Qiu Liben was one of the attachés who followed Shen Chong to Beijing and knew a lot of things, but he was tight-lipped and only said the main points that Luo Weiming was concerned about: "Mr. Shen planned to build eight to 10 cinemas in Shenzhen and Guangzhou—called cinemas in the mainland—and then form a cinema chain, which would operate independently and be responsible for its own profits and losses, and the mainland government agreed. ”

"The boss didn't reveal a word about such a big thing." Luo Weiming took a sip of coffee and asked, "What about the source?" ”

"Sixty percent is provided by mainland film studios, and forty percent is provided by Hong Kong, I don't know the specific details, I only know that in the future, films produced in Hong Kong can be screened in the mainland through the Southern Film Company."

"Southern Film Company? It was an organization that specialized in distributing mainland films in Hong Kong, and it used to have only the right to export, but now it has the right to import, which is good news for Hong Kong films. Luo Weiming rubbed his chin, showed a playful smile, and said: "But for the boss of the Hong Kong film company, it will be a headache." ”

"Yes, the Hong Kong-Kowloon Freedom Association will definitely prevent film companies from cooperating with the mainland."

The full name of the Hong Kong-Kowloon Freedom Federation is the Federation of Freedom of Film and Drama, which was initiated and established in 1956 by pro-Taiwan film industry figures, and is a right-wing trade union organization opposed to the pro-mainland left, and the Federation of Freedom is controlled by the Taiwan government and has a great influence on the Hong Kong film industry, because as long as there are non-free members of the film production staff, films will not be allowed to be released in Taiwan, and as we all know, Taiwan is the most important overseas market for Hong Kong films.

In 1980, the political confrontation between the two sides of the strait was serious, and all filmmakers who had relations or contacts with the mainland would be on the blacklist of the Freedom Federation, like Fang Yuping, because he had done field work in the Great Wall Film Studio for more than a month, and was banned by Taiwan before being invited by Shen Chong to shoot "Father and Son" for Xia Meng's Blue Bird Film Company, and at the beginning of this year, before the opening of the Academy Awards, Shaw Brothers intended to show goodwill to the mainland, lending the classic business card "Seventy-two Tenants" to the leftist Pearl River Theater for re-screening, and the poster had just been typed. Shaw received a warning letter and went silent......

"Our boss is really bold enough to open a theater in the mainland with great fanfare, not afraid of Taiwan's blockade?" As soon as Luo Weiming's words fell, he laughed, shook his head and said: "The last thing our boss lacks is money, and he doesn't care about Taiwan's box office at all, and Taiwan is looking forward to him investing, and he is reluctant to block it." ”

Qiu Liben also smiled, just nodded.

"The mainland has always engaged in a planned economy, and everything is set to the death, so what kind of business law did you just say that you operate independently and assume responsibility for your own profits and losses?"

"The ticket price is autonomous, and the box office is shared." Qiu Liben took a sip of coffee and said, "I just heard Mr. Shen say a rough idea, if you want to know the details, you have to ask in person." ”

"The boss is becoming more and more powerful now, and if he doesn't summon him, I don't dare to go." Luo Weiming turned his head to look at the office opposite, shrunk his neck exaggeratedly, and asked, "It seems that foreign capital or individuals are not allowed to own theaters in the mainland, right?" ”

"It's not allowed, so Mr. Shen signed a cooperation agreement with the mainland, the ownership belongs to the government, and the right to operate belongs to himself, and the operation will be operated for 15 years, and then transferred to the government."

"Only 15 years? Didn't get to 97? ”

"yes." Qiu Liben spread his hands and said: "Now no one knows what it was like when 97, and it is safer to sign for 15 years." ”

"What about the tallest building in Asia? Is it also a 15-year sign? ”

"That investment is very large, using the BOT model, 15 years is obviously not enough, signed for 30 years."

"What is a bot?"

"To put it simply, BOT refers to Build-Operate-Transfer, which is a very old but emerging financing model, similar to but different from the construction of cinemas."

Luo Weiming didn't care about those bots or anything, but said: "In this way, Boss Shen is very confident in 97." ”

Qiu Liben smiled slightly and said, "In fact, with Mr. Shen's ability, no matter what 97 is, he can sit back and relax. ”

"That's right, our boss is the best at meeting the source, the East and the West, China and the United States, and the whole world are rushing to ask for it."
