Chapter 457: ABC Cinema
On September 1st, the summer file of the movie is coming to an end, and the "Saint of Gambling" released by Oriental Cinemas was painted as scheduled, because the "Best Comedy" produced by Huang Baiming was released in Xinyi City, "The Saint of Gambling" won a total of 52.21 million at the box office, and the average attendance rate reached 60% in the last week, and the cumulative box office of "Police Story" reached 37.89 million.
Xu Ke's "Dao Ma Dan" was released in Oriental cinemas as scheduled, with a box office of 880,000 on the first day, "Dao Ma Dan" was only released in 16 theaters, and the rest of the theaters released "Mr. Phantom" by Lin Zhengying, with a box office of 1.2 million on the first day.
Chen Baixiang felt that the box office of "Dao Ma Dan" was too low, and discussed with Wang Zichuan to reduce the screen screen, Lin Zhengying's "Mr. Phantom" was hot at the box office, and Oriental Cinema should support it and add the reduced screen to "Mr. Phantom".
"Ah Chuan, what do you think of me, the film "Dao Ma Dan" occupies most of the resources of Tengfei Entertainment and Oriental Cinemas, and the box office is not as high as "Mr. Phantom", the former costs more than 6 million yuan, and the latter costs more than 3 million yuan."
"Let's leave it as it is." Wang Zichuan put down the box office discipline table on the first day, but his heart was quite complicated, I heard that there was a tycoon outside who co-opted Chen Baixiang to engage in a film company, this matter gave him a headache, it seems that he must take back the management of the theater chain, in case Chen Baixiang defects, there will definitely be an accident in the Oriental Cinema Line, regret it at that time, it is better to cut the mess now and prevent this from happening.
Wang Zichuan pondered in his heart for a long time, and finally came up with a countermeasure, put it aside for the time being, and said with a forced smile: "How can I say that "Dao Ma Dan" is also a literary film, it is already very good to have such a result, compared to this, I am surprised by the attendance rate of Oriental theaters, and many remote theaters are full. This is only possible in the New Year's slots. ”
Chen Baixiang said proudly: "It is still the credit of integrating the cinema chain, now there are three cinema chains under the Oriental Cinema Line, and I have appointed three branch managers, and the theater attendance rate has increased significantly, and today's attendance rate is comparable to the popular summer file." ”
Wang Zichuan said: "With such an achievement, I am relieved, there are currently 16 theaters that have released "Dao Ma Dan", and the potential of the film is almost exerted, "Mr. Phantom" is a zombie supernatural film. With a box office hit on the first day, it's clear that there's still potential to be tapped, and the film is a great place to be screened in the evening. ”
Chen Baixiang was thorough at one point, and said with a smile: "Ah Chuan, do you plan to add a midnight show?" ”
Wang Zichuan nodded and ordered: "You choose a few suitable theaters and add two screenings a day." ”
"I understand, that's fine, after the integration of the theater chain. There is a lot of surplus manpower, and there is no problem in operation. Chen Baixiang's mind turned twice, and if there was an accident, he would sacrifice "Sword and Horse". It is also necessary to ensure the box office of "Mr. Fantasy".
Wang Zichuan sighed: "When the cinema line was combined, it was like a behemoth, but now it is divided into three, and it is separated from Jiahe." In this regard, you have to grasp it, first focus on the best cinema line, and strive to catch up with the level of Jiahe Cinema Line. ”
Chen Baixiang said: "I numbered the three theater lines. The theater in the downtown area has the most potential, the attendance rate is guaranteed, the main several theaters are sold from the Shan family, there are just 16 at present, this theater line is called A theater line, B theater line is our own village mini theater line, plus several large theaters close to the village to join, the strength is slightly inferior, the last C theater line, most of the theaters are located in remote areas, because of the first two years of Tengfei Entertainment acquisition, this type of theater bought a lot, because of the rise in land prices, there is no loss. ”
Wang Zichuan fell into deep thought, his right index finger tapped on the table, Chen Baixiang took a breath, every time Wang Zichuan put on such a pose, there would be a big movement.
"Aren't A, B, and C too ugly?"
Chen Baixiang didn't react for a while, his eyes widened, and he asked, "Ah Chuan, what did you just say?" ”
Wang Zichuan saw Chen Baixiang's strange appearance, he didn't know what the other party was associating with, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about this question later, now that the theater is running like this, it is still in the experimental stage, and whether it can be maintained is still a matter of words." ”
"Oh!" Chen Baixiang was a little disappointed, if Wang Zichuan gave him the power to do it, he could still expand the C-shaped theater.
Wang Zichuan groaned: "I think I should focus on ...... Type A cinema, Alak, what do you think? ”
"I've thought about it all." Chen Baixiang looked helpless, and truthfully told the embarrassment he encountered some time ago, "Which cinema chain in Hong Kong is not guarding us now, and I have lobbied for an Anle cinema line several times, and I have closed the door every time, for fear that our Oriental Cinema will swallow them." ”
The cinema chain that has cooperated with Tengfei Entertainment has basically been swallowed up by the Oriental Cinema Line, Wang Zichuan wanted to understand the reason, and encouraged: "I don't believe that there is no corner that can't be dug up, the third-rate cinema has almost been annexed, and the rest can only focus on the second-rate cinema line, cast more nets, and always catch a few big fish, and the Golden Princess Cinema line will also go to talk, I think the time is almost up." ”
Chen Baixiang was surprised: "Ah Chuan, the Golden Princess Cinema is Lei Juekun's baby bump, can he allow us to plug in?" ”
"Pan Disheng, that kid is also staring at this piece of fat, with him taking the lead, attracting Lei Juekun's attention, we will act quietly, we will join if we can join, and we will buy out the theater chain that can be bought out, and the conditions will be mentioned by them." Wang Zichuan waved his arms domineeringly, and said confidently: "Now Tengfei Entertainment is not bad for money, no matter how many theaters there are, there will be films released." ”
Chen Baixiang took two steps forward, stared at Wang Zichuan, and asked with a smile: "Ah Chuan, do you have someone in Debao Film Company?" ”
"You forget, I am the founder of Debao Company, Hong Jinbao has joined Tengfei Entertainment, I know every move of Pan Disheng, through Pan Disheng, Princess Jin joins the hospital, and there is no movement from us."
The smile on Wang Zichuan's face was a little strange, as if everything was under control, Chen Baixiang was in a good mood, and after a while, he was a little chilled, reminding himself that he could not be an enemy of this man at any time, and when you thought that the victory was in your hands, you had fallen into the fishing net carefully woven by the other party.
Chen Baixiang reacted quickly, his whole body was full of energy, and said: "Okay, Ah Chuan, you give me the list, and I will visit them one by one." ”
Oriental Cinema Line continues to develop according to this trend, and the annexation of Golden Princess Cinema Line will be able to occupy half of Hong Kong Cinema Line, and then there will be no need to compete with Golden Harvest for hegemony, Zou Wenhuai and others will have to bow down. (To be continued......)
