The two entered the study one after another, and Shaw said, "Close the door." ”

Wang Zichuan closed the door, the place here is not big, there is a bookshelf on the left and right, the books on the bookshelf are neatly visited, there are often gaps between books and books, it seems that the owner often looks at it, there is no famous calligraphy and painting on the wall, and there is a thick book on the desk.

Shaw sat down in his chair and said with a smile, "You have something to look for me today, right?" Now it can be said. ”

"I can't hide anything from Uncle Six!" Wang Zichuan's heartbeat became much faster, and he said solemnly: "Sixth uncle, you also know that I opened an entertainment company outside. ”

Yi Yifu said: "The name is Tengfei Entertainment, the company's development is good, Ah Chuan, you are looking for me for the company's business?" ”

Wang Zichuan nodded and said: "Yes, Uncle Six, the company has produced several films, the box office is good, and it makes some money, but because of this, it has aroused the jealousy of large companies, and they want to buy Tengfei Entertainment." ”

Shaw asked with a smile, "You agreed?" ”

He somewhat understood Wang Zichuan's intentions, Golden Harvest temporarily painted "Nightclub", and he also heard about it, but he didn't believe that Wang Zichuan would take the film to the Shan family for release, and the share of the Shan Cinema Line has always been very low, which is similar to buying out at a low price, therefore, few companies take the film to the Shan family for release, especially high-quality films, which are similar to selling gold as cabbage.

Wang Zichuan gritted his teeth and said, "Sixth Uncle, have you ever thought about selling the theater in your heart?" ”

Shaw was stunned for a moment and sneered: "Ah Chuan, your appetite is too big, do you know how much Shaw Brothers Cinemas is worth?" Not to mention the equipment and venues in the theater, the cost of maintaining the theater alone costs hundreds of thousands of dollars every month. ”

Wang Zichuan said: "Sixth uncle." I have been prepared for this for a long time, and I know that the theater chain is worth at least hundreds of millions. But I don't think Uncle Six plans to sell the theater chain either! ”

Uncle Shao Liu's expression was unpredictable, and he closed his eyes and leaned back on the back of the chair. He said softly, "How do you know?" Everyone knows that Zhuangshi Pictures has reduced production, and only three films were produced in the first half of this year, I don't sell theaters, do you want to watch it go out of business? ”

"You're testing me!" Wang Zichuan gradually gained confidence, looked high-spirited, and analyzed: "Now that Hong Kong's real estate is at a low ebb, and Uncle Six's cinema line is mostly in a prosperous area, if the cinema is sold at this time, it will be sold and sent." I'm afraid it won't sell for 200 million, there are 19 theaters in the Cinema Line, three theaters that have joined the cooperation, and there are 16 theaters in the hands of Uncle Six, according to the price three years ago, at least 200 million, but in recent years, the land has not risen but fallen, and the same is true for Uncle Six's theater. ”

Evafu's expression was uncertain. said lightly: "You have investigated very clearly. ”

Of course, Wang Zichuan investigated very clearly, and there were some things that he didn't say in order to avoid arousing Shaw's disgust.

The cinema can show more than 30 movies a year, and each movie has an average running time of 10 days. The short one was only a week, and the long one was more than 20 days, because Shaw decided to focus on the TV station. Film companies gradually reduced production and shoddy production. The box office continued to fall, and only a small percentage of the more than 30 movies were Shaw Brothers films. The rest are all films produced by other film companies, most of which are low-budget films that follow the trend, and the box office of the films fluctuates at 3 million Hong Kong dollars, that is, the attendance rate is about 30%.

If according to the average release time, the total daily box office of the sixteen theaters of the Shan family should be between 150,000 and 250,000, and Wang Zichuan's film is released in Golden Harvest, and the box office can reach more than 800,000 yuan a day, according to the best leading theater of the Shan family, the box office of any theater is about 14,000 yuan a day, excluding the share of the film producer and distributor, the theater can get more than 20,000 yuan of income, and it can get about 300,000 to 350,000 yuan per month, compared with Golden Harvest Cinema Line and Golden Princess Cinema Line, It's a fraction.

And among the 300,000 yuan, in addition to the monthly salary of about 50,000 yuan, plus the monthly utilities, taxes, ticket making, publicity and other miscellaneous expenses, the theater can save about 180,000 yuan, and the remaining ten theaters are even worse, that is to say, the average annual net profit of each theater is about 850,000 yuan, which is about 10 million a year, and the rent should also fluctuate around 10 million.

This is not counting the expensive maintenance and machine repairs of the cinema every year, and there is also a renewal once every few years, 10 million, such a figure is definitely a huge amount of income for a small company, but for the theater that occupies a prime location, even a simple shop rental can reach this number every year.

Shaw closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and sighed: "You are right, the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line has indeed declined, since the establishment of Golden Harvest, the theater attendance rate has been declining every year, especially Lei Juekun's formation of the Golden Princess, which is even worse, the annual profit of the theater line has been greatly reduced, and the annual profit of the theater line has been greatly reduced, and it is necessary to pay employee salaries, maintain equipment, and replace machines, and there is not much money left." ”

Wang Zichuan said tentatively: "What do you mean?" ”

Yi Yifu smiled: "You're right, I don't plan to give up the Dian Cinema Line, in business, the theater can't make money in my hands, I want to rent it out and collect rent every year." ”

"Then rent it to me!" Wang Zichuan blurted out and said excitedly: "Sixth uncle, on behalf of Tengfei Entertainment, I am willing to rent the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, and the annual rent will be increased by two percent according to the net profit of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line.

Shaw said: "Without the cinema, Tsan Pictures would be equivalent to losing its soul, do you think I can easily promise you?" There are so many employees in the company, what do they do? Who will feed them? ”

Wang Zichuan said: "Uncle Six, you are too worried, now the Hong Kong film industry is highly developed, and there are more and more film companies year by year, just in the first half of today, more than a dozen film companies have opened, and the company has opened, it is always important to recruit people, how many they can eat, for example, I Tengfei Entertainment, I am recruiting people every month, my goal is to ensure that the three crews can start work at the same time, not one less!" ”

Yi Yifu smiled slightly bitterly, other companies expanded production, but Dian Pictures reduced production, he didn't understand, his vision was not good? Still can't keep up with the trend? Why is the TV station so popular!

"Ah Chuan, you need money to rent a theater, how much money do you have? If I'm not mistaken. Tengfei Entertainment has been in business for less than a year, can you rent a theater? Don't think you call me Uncle Six. I'm not going to kill you, haha......"

Wang Zichuan smiled dryly: "The sixth uncle said that he was laughing. How much money can the cinema make in a year, you know better than me, if you open your mouth, not only me, but others will not rent, and then a good theater can only be sold to real estate businessmen, Uncle Six doesn't want this, I don't want it either, Uncle Six, you tell me a price. I am a staff officer. ”

Shaw said: "There are sixteen theaters, four leading theaters, and six have other people's shares, I can't guarantee that they will also rent to you, so these six are not counted, and the annual rent is 20 million!" The contract is for three years, and after three years, both parties will continue to renew the contract. ”

Wang Zichuan smiled bitterly: "Sixth uncle." 20 million is too high, I will calculate the profitability of Golden Harvest Cinema Line for you, a movie has a box office of 10 million a month after its release, and the theater can get 5 million. Export costs, employee salaries, publicity expenses, there are three million profits, 12 months a year. That is, 36 million, Golden Harvest has 19 theaters. Both the location and the seats are not inferior to the Shan Cinema Line, and the ten theaters earn about 18 million a year. You want 20 million, this is not to siphon away all the profits, but also to put me up a few million, Uncle Six, you can't bully me! ”

Shaw said: "Do you know one or the other, there are more seats in the Cinema Line than the Golden Harvest Cinema Line, especially the four leading theaters, which were expanded at the peak of the Cinema at that time, and the Cinema Line has perfect distribution channels, which Tengfei Entertainment does not have, don't you want it?" ”

Wang Zichuan rolled his eyes, if it weren't for Wang Jin secretly inquiring about the news, he would have really been fooled, a few months ago, the Shaw brothers passed away, and the distribution channels of the Shaw Cinema Line have existed in name only, and the Nanyang Cinema Line was swallowed by his sons and started real estate, which is also the main reason why Shaw gave up the movie.

"Sixth uncle, you don't know yet, Tengfei Entertainment has established a distribution channel in other cities, as for the Wai's Cinema Line, you know better than me, this Wang Jin has sued me."

"This two-five!" Shaw scolded a few words with a smile, and then considered, "How about fifteen million?" ”

Shaw is serious, the Hong Kong film company can eat the Kuo's cinema line is good, funds and courage are indispensable, he is most optimistic about Wang Zichuan, the box office of each movie is higher than the other, just three movies, it has created a box office of more than 60 million, this is the reason why he dares to open his mouth, not only to make money, but also to put Zou Wenhuai together.

Wang Zichuan said: "Uncle Six, I won't hide it from you, originally I bid 10 million, but there are six fewer theaters, I can only bid 8 million, if the contract becomes ten years, I am willing to bid 100 million!" An extra 20 million is a bonus! ”

"100 million?" Kui Yifu was surprised, stared at Wang Zichuan very seriously, and doubted: "You can come up with so much money?" ”

"Of course not at the moment!" Wang Zichuan said this, just to attract Yi Yifu, and immediately explained in detail: "100 million is paid in three years, 10 million in the first year, 30 million in the second year, and 60 million in the third year!" ”

"You are very confident, where does your confidence come from, if you don't have 60 million in the third year, I can unilaterally end the contract, and the 40 million you paid in front of you will be in vain!" Shaw kindly reminded him that he and Wang Zichuan were old friends and didn't want him to go bankrupt because of this.

Wang Zichuan said confidently: "You don't need to worry about this, when the time comes, I will naturally take out the money, clean money, this Uncle Six can rest assured." ”

Next year will be the day when Japan signed the Plaza Agreement, the yen has been appreciating, and Wang Zichuan will not make hundreds of millions in Japan, so I am sorry for the Yankees' thoughts.

Shaw said secretly: The longer the low price, the higher the price, the longer the theater land is hoarded, the higher the price, I wanted to take care of Wang Zichuan, sign every three years, so as not to regret it, and now he took the initiative to sign for ten years, so it is better, save me from finding a new buyer in the future.

"What about ten years from now?" Shaw decided to ask clearly, lest Wang Zichuan sublease the cinema to others.

Wang Zichuan said: "If the sixth uncle is willing, I will continue to loan after ten years, and I have no problem signing for twenty years!" ”

Shaw said: "Ah Chuan, you really don't want to suffer, I don't know how much the box office of the movie will rise in ten years!" Since you are so confident, of course I want to support it, I really want to see what happens to Zou Wenhuai if he knows it, and it can be regarded as a bad breath at the beginning. ”

It's done! Wang Zichuan was excited, forced himself to restrain his mood, and joked: "Sixth uncle, you hold a grudge so much? ”

Yi Yifu got up and said: "It's not a grudge, it's right and wrong at the beginning, and I don't want to mention it again, there must be a cause and an effect!" However, the theater chain cannot be handed over to you for the time being, and the company still has a few films to be released. ”

Wang Zichuan hurriedly said: "Sixth uncle, but I really need a theater, there are several movies to start filming in the company, and "Nightclub" is also waiting to be released." ”

Shaw said: "Okay, you can sign a contract next month, but in the future, you have to arrange screenings for the company's films, and this article must be written into the contract." ”

"Yes!" Wang Zichuan understands that the current production is only reduced, and it will take some time to adapt to the real shutdown.

After talking about the theater chain, Wang Zichuan was in a good mood, and the next plan was to raise funds, not only to pay off the deposit of 10 million, but also to decorate and find a theater to join the theater, and to form a theater that really belongs to Tengfei Entertainment, which requires money.
