Chapter 812: Success
Wang Zichuan's words made everyone fall into contemplation, Liu Fu and other small theater representatives have shown joy, they only have theaters in their hands, there is no film company, usually theaters can only show films produced by third-rate film companies, when it comes to the popular schedule, it is the time for large theaters to coil money, others eat meat, they can only drink soup, if the theater classification system is implemented, this means that their theaters can also release blockbusters, the flow of people increases, dividends naturally increase, and there are also interests around the cinema, popcorn, melon seeds, drinks, sugarcane......
"Good!" Liu Fu couldn't help but applaud, his eyes showed a fanatical look, the two theaters under his name belong to medium-sized theaters, if you follow what Wang Zichuan said, you can earn tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars a day, and it will be millions of profits in a year.
Lin Jianyue couldn't help but say: "I can't see what's good, high-quality theaters release high-quality movies, but what about low-end theaters?" release inferior films, what is there to make in this way, even if the high-quality theaters make more, it is not enough to lose. ”
Debao Company finally obtained the controlling stake of Xinbao Cinema Line, and wanted to call out the control of the cinema line, Lin Jianyue was very unwilling, and the reason why his father Lin Baixing agreed to him to buy Debao with a large amount of money was to look at the re-treasure cinema line, with the cinema line, Debao Company is qualified to be ranked with Jiahe and Tengfei Entertainment, and engage in the cinema grading system, and the films produced by Debao Company can only be screened in second- and third-rate cinemas, just like Xinbao Cinema Line suddenly became a third-rate cinema line, shrinking by half.
Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "Mr. Lin can't help but think about it again, the plan that everyone agrees on must be good, and this plan will not be officially implemented until December 31, and the one-month buffer period is enough for us to discuss a perfect plan." ”
The middle-aged woman sitting next to Liu Fu slowly spoke: "I have a question!" ”
Wang Zichuan saw her looking at herself and asked, and replied, "Please speak!" ”
The middle-aged woman's face was solemn: "I heard that Mr. Wang meant that he planned to merge the cinema chain into one company, and we only got a little share, is this asking us to hand over the management rights for nothing?" ”
Wang Zichuan glanced at Zou Wenhuai and said quietly: "The cinema alliance only has administrative rights, and the specific management rights are still in your hands. You're still the theater owner. ”
The middle-aged woman smiled: "If I play mahjong every day and don't care about anything, can I also get dividends?" ”
Wang Zichuan said: "Of course this is not possible, thank you Ms. Zhou for reminding me, I have set up a reward system, and the head office will send investigators to inspect each theater, summarize it once every six months, and issue bonuses according to the score." ”
Liu Fudao: "How did this bonus come from? ”
Zou Wenhuai hurriedly replied: "Every quarter, we will intercept a part of the funds from the dividends of shareholders, everyone, the time for the press conference is coming." Let's get ready, and we will gather by the picture window upstairs. ”
"I'm sorry, but I'm sorry." Lin Jianyue covered his lower abdomen and went to the bathroom.
Jiang Zhiqiang and Wang Zichuan slowly came together, and after signaling to each other, Jiang Zhiqiang asked what he was most puzzled about.
"Brother Wang, what did you mean just now?"
Wang Zichuan took a few steps and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang doesn't want to transform?" ”
Jiang Zhiqiang sighed: "If it weren't for Brother Wang, I wouldn't want to transform now, you might not know yet." At present, Western films are on the rise again, the box office in the United States is getting higher and higher, and Hollywood is gradually recovering, and there is still a market for Western films. ”
Wang Zichuan said: "I have also been paying attention to the new situation of American films. ”
"Brother Wang, do you think so too?" Jiang Zhiqiang asked curiously.
Wang Zichuan smiled: "I won't tell you." In August of this year, Ascendas Entertainment invested in an American family comedy called "Home Alone" and filmed it for three months. At present, post-production zuò has begun, and it will be released before Christmas. ”
Jiang Zhiqiang was surprised: "Filmed for three months, released on Christmas? That's too fast, isn't it? The United States is no better than Hong Kong. It's normal for a film to be shot for a year or two, but three months, is it really enough? ”
Wang Zichuan said: "Let's wait and see, in addition to "Home Alone", Tengfei Entertainment has formulated a detailed plan to produce two Hollywood films next year, in view of these circumstances, Tengfei Entertainment has set up a Western film department, plus Golden Harvest has always paid attention to the Western market, various factors, Brother Jiang's Anle Cinema Line may be deeply affected." ”
Jiang Zhiqiang laughed at himself: "I can't understand Hong Kong movies more and more, and even Western films are starting to be popular. ”
Wang Zichuan comforted: "If you lose, you will gain, Brother Jiang can take the opportunity to plan to open up the local market in Hong Kong, now is the golden age of Hong Kong films, with your vision, you must make more money than releasing Western films." ”
Jiang Zhiqiang said tentatively: "I also want Brother Wang to take care of it, the cinema alliance, and the support of the film company can make a lot of money, I want to set up an Anle Film Company, I wonder if Brother Wang can borrow a few people to use it?" ”
"Absolutely!" Wang Zichuan agreed, everyone understands the truth that if you want to take it, you must give it first, and then it is his purpose: "Brother Jiang, we have a few films in Tengfei Entertainment, but we have never had the opportunity to release them to Europe and the United States, I don't know if you have a way there?" ”
Jiang Zhiqiang pondered for a moment and replied: "I have seen all the films of Tengfei Entertainment, if it is a film like "The True Color of Heroes" and "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother", it is no problem to get released in the United States, but these high-grossing films, Tengfei Entertainment has already distributed them by itself, and the remaining films can sell the rights and interests such as broadcast rights, screening rights, etc., and you can make a small profit." ”
Wang Zichuan said with a smile: "That's what I mean, Brother Jiang is well-connected, the gang in our Tengfei Entertainment Distribution Department is too incompetent, a film only sells tens of thousands of dollars, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has a box office of more than 40 million, and the United States bids 50,000 US dollars, and all the copyrights have to be bought out!" ”
Jiang Zhiqiang said with a smile: "This must be an intermediary casting a net everywhere, after they buy the copyright, they immediately sell it at a high price, and make a profit from it, if Brother Wang believes me, the "A Chinese Ghost Story" series will be handed over to me to operate, and if it is good, it can be sold for more than one million US dollars!" ”
Wang Zichuan said tentatively: "What good channel does Brother Jiang have?" ”
Jiang Zhiqiang said: "I don't dare to say it, I just know an acquaintance, he is very interested in this kind of supernatural romance film, but unfortunately Halloween has passed, if it is early, maybe it can be put on the screen!" ”
"It's not extravagant for me to put it on the screen, Brother Jiang is just doing it." Wang Zichuan admired Jiang Zhiqiang's ability, and the things that the Tengfei Entertainment Distribution Department racked their brains to solve were just a gesture for Jiang Zhiqiang.
Jiang Zhiqiang also sold well: "Brother Wang has something to do, although he said, I dare not guarantee anything else, it is easy to release the film to Europe and the United States, martial arts films are the most popular in the European and American markets, and there are many kinds of martial arts films, among which the best selling is kung fu films, followed by romance films, and then supernatural films, and the rest is not worth much." ”
Wang Zichuan asked: "What about war movies, hero films, and police and bandit films?" ”
Jiang Zhiqiang said: "War films, to put it mildly, war movies produced in Hong Kong are for children, unless it is a real big scene, dozens of people 'fight', and the Yankees are used to seeing big scenes, so they are not interested in these." ”
Wang Zichuan suddenly remembered "Hero", if there is support from the mainland, you can try it, as long as there are ten movies that sell well in Hollywood, Tengfei Entertainment will have a firm foothold.
Jiang Zhiqiang said again: "As for hero films, there is a lot of market in the United States, but Hong Kong is a little interesting except for "The True Color of Heroes", and other hero films can't be on the stage. ”
"I believe in Lao Wu." Wang Zichuan is very relieved of Wu Yusen, in terms of friendship, Wu Yusen and Zhou Runfa both look at kindness and righteousness, he helped Zhou Runfa shoot a "Hero's True Colors", Zhou Runfa is grateful so far, in the case of Zhou Xingchi and Cheng Long's small actions, Zhou Runfa and Wu Yusen's single-mindedness is commendable.
Jiang Zhiqiang continued: "Hong Kong has recently emerged a wave of police and gangster films, and now there are no other outstanding films except "Police Story", which has little impact and is difficult to distribute to Europe and the United States. ”
Wang Zichuan said: "When Brother Jiang is free, I will hand over all the copies accumulated by Tengfei Entertainment to you, and you will pick out what films have a market, and I plan to sell the remaining copies to TV stations." ”
Jiang Zhiqiang was surprised: "Sold to a TV station? Brother Wang's Asia Television? ”
Wang Zichuan said with a smile: "It's not a TV station, ATV has cooperative TV stations in Taiwan, Nanyang and other places. ”
Jiang Zhiqiang immediately catered and said, "I also have some film here, can Brother Wang help deal with it by the way." ”
"Nishikata?"
"The Chinese films I invested in before are rotting in the warehouse and are about to become moldy."
Wang Zichuan said: "I will definitely help with Chinese films." ”
Jiang Zhiqiang's heart tightened and asked: "Listening to Brother Wang's meaning, I am very wary of releasing Western films. ”
Wang Zichuan said honestly: "I just don't want to open up the Nanyang market for the western films, at present, all countries in the Nanyang have implemented protection policies to limit the number of imported films, and the western films and Chinese films have become competitors, and at present, some regions still have the upper hand in the western films." ”
Jiang Zhiqiang said suddenly: "I don't often pay attention to these things, but I didn't expect the competition between Western films and Chinese films to come to this point." ”
Wang Zichuan sighed: "The overseas market is becoming more and more difficult, I heard that the Philippines, Thailand, and South Korea have restricted the number of imported films again, but fortunately, Taiwan has not followed suit." ”
Jiang Zhiqiang comforted: "Now that the cinema alliance is in the league and the survival of the fittest, the competitiveness of Hong Kong films has been strengthened, and the situation will improve." ”
"Anyway, the press conference is almost over." Wang Zichuan pulled Zhang Zhiqiang to go back, Zou Wenhuai worked hard to plan, no matter what Wang Zichuan said, he had to cooperate with one or two, it was best to cover Zou Wenhuai's limelight. (To be continued......)
