Chapter 390: Movie Theaters and Cinemas
"Cheers!"
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses.
Everyone has become shareholders in the same company, and it is clear that they are more intimate than before.
"Thank you for believing in me! Rest assured, I assure you that Bloom Entertainment will not disappoint you."
Roy said with a smile.
"Mr. Roy, don't worry, if there's anything that can be used to us, just ask."
Wendell said with a smile.
That's what Roy wants.
"Good! I have some ideas for what is going on, so I'll discuss it with you."
"Please."
Sean looked at Roy expectantly, he always felt that what Roy had just shown to everyone should have some reservations, not that he saw something, but that he was also a businessman and used to doing it.
Sure enough, I heard Roy say:
"How do you get the movie out...... I don't think it's difficult, it won't be long before everyone can see the effect of the movie."
As soon as these words came out, several people's eyes lit up.
Roy really has reservations, Roy showed theory before, so now Roy may have practical results!
Everyone is not disgusted by Roy's behavior of selling Guanzi, after all, this is a capable person, and as a shareholder, they naturally hope that the major shareholder will be capable.
Roy went on to say:
"But, everybody knows that. When the movie comes out, it will definitely be imitated, plagiarized, or even attacked. So I need everyone's help to check the gates, we are not afraid of normal business competition, but we are afraid of those who make small moves."
Wendell suddenly spoke:
"Don't worry, the headquarters of the Bloom Company is not in Dirik Bang, I'll say hello."
Jamie also stated:
"Unless there is a major policy reform in the country, as long as our company is legally compliant, there will be no problems."
Wendell is the second-in-command of Diric Bang, and he belongs to the "current management". Jamie is a member of Congress and belongs to the "people above". With the two of them, not to mention that the company has no worries, but at least it can keep the company from being harassed by the authorities.
In business, as long as you have a good relationship with the official, it is hard to say how much money you can make, but it will definitely not be miserable.
"There's nothing I can do to help, at most I'll get back to you and connect with a few old friends to cheer you on."
Lei Zhe shrugged.
"That's enough, that's enough!"
Roy nodded hurriedly.
General Lei Zhe's old friend, that must also be an officer, most likely not an active officer. After all, the identity of an active duty officer is still somewhat sensitive, and it is not suitable to participate in this kind of thing. Lei Zhe did not use his own name to buy shares, but prepared to use the name of a distant relative.
But for the company, the more retired officers the better, because although they no longer have rights, their connections and influence are there, and they don't have so many rules and regulations to do things, and they are more free.
Generally speaking, officers on active duty in the Ministry of Defense do not dare to make money, and only after a smooth retirement can they let go of their hands and feet.
Therefore, the effect of retired officers to the company's platform is better. After all, Roy is not afraid of others asking him for money, he is afraid that he wants to give money but can't find a way.
Sean said simply:
….
"I can help with business."
Although it is just a simple sentence, this is the words of a billionaire worth 15 billion, and the weight is definitely different.
Nicole didn't speak, just looked at Roy with a smile, she had already said before, Roy needed any help, he could go directly to her.
"Thank you for your trust! But our company also happens to have a problem right now......
Roy thanked him for a moment, then said suddenly.
"What's the problem?"
A few people asked curiously.
"Before I get into that, let me explain to you that our movie drama is the best
The final result is not seen in the form of a flip book."
"Oh? What does that look like?"
Roy explained with a smile:
"I'm going to use technology to map these photos onto a white wall, which is about the size of the wall in our room......
"Shhh...... Mapping to such a big wall?"
Several of them were a little incredible. Can this be done?
If you can do that, it will be much better to watch than to flip through a book!
"Of course you can, it's a bit troublesome to explain specifically, and everyone can just look at the finished product when the time comes." Roy smiled and nodded, and then continued, "Such a large picture can allow dozens or even hundreds of people to watch it at the same time, but our film and drama have a cost, and it is impossible to watch it everywhere, otherwise how can we make money?" You can only watch movies and theaters if you buy a ticket to go to a specific place, and I call this place a movie theater. We can make a lot of copies of the original film and then perform it in many theaters at the same time......
"Cinema ......"
Everyone nodded secretly. This is the same as watching a cabaret performance, but the cabaret is a live performance, while the shadow drama is a "moving photo".
Roy then asked:
"If the movie is popular, then do you think the movie theater will be popular?"
"There is a high probability that it will ......"
Sean answered.
"So, since we're doing movie theaters, why don't we also do movie theaters? If we can build enough movie theaters when other capital has not yet reacted, then when other capital reacts and starts to produce movie theaters, we have so many movie theaters as a backing, and we are not afraid of anyone at all! After all, we have our own movie theater, and we can decide whose movie to play......
As soon as Roy said this, everyone's eyes immediately lit up.
What is the most profitable business in the world, is a monopoly!
If the whole country is their movie theater and can only show their movie theaters, then it will be no different from monopoly!
Of course, they naturally couldn't really monopolize it, after all, monopoly was not illegal in the Sky Wolf Empire. But as long as you can occupy enough markets, even if you can't monopolize it, it's no different from monopoly, it's nothing more than a sip of soup to separate people.
"My idea is that we will set up another film and theater distribution company, a company based on movie theaters, with capital and film theaters as the link, and this company will implement a unified brand, unified film scheduling, unified operation, and unified management of its movie theaters......
Roy is talking about theaters. When the movie really comes out and becomes popular, the operating mechanism of the theater chain will definitely come out. He can't monopolize all the theaters, but he must be the biggest.
….
Everyone listened to Roy's introduction and became more and more interested.
What Roy said is indeed a good thing!
This thing, which Roy called the "movie theater chain", is equivalent to a channel for selling things. No matter how good your stuff is, you can't do it without channels. Because if there is no channel, it means that the public can't see your things, so naturally they don't know if things are good or not.
The same goes for theaters, no matter how good you are, as long as I don't send it to you, don't let you release it, and the audience can't see it, then you're not a good movie.
"This is indeed a good thing!"
Sean nodded, he was interested.
"But if that's the case, the upfront investment will be huge......
Wendell was also intrigued, but then frowned again.
Building a lot of movie theaters in the entire Sky Wolf Empire and forming their own distribution channels or something, this money is spent a lot......
"Of course, it's definitely a big job. Both the time and money consumed are massive, so I need everyone's help, and I definitely can't do it alone......
Roy paused, then continued.
"My idea is that everyone has the money to contribute, and the power to contribute - after all, this is a big project, and the top and bottom have to be taken care of, and the things in between are troublesome - and then we calculate the shares according to the efforts put in......
wants to get this theater out, but the consumption of money is definitely massive, and it is estimated that Wendell, Leezer and Jamie will not be able to buy shares with money, so Roy asked them to contribute, and let him, Sean and Nicole come to pay for it.
Roy's idea was well received.
However, he also explained:
"What I'm talking about is all about the future, this is an investment, investment is risky, everyone should be cautious when investing. So there's no need to set up this company for the time being, and it's not too late to invest when I get the movie out and everyone thinks it's really good. Of course, although we are not in a hurry to invest now, we can prepare in advance, and when we need it, we can respond quickly......
"Makes sense......"
A few people nodded, very satisfied with Roy.
Roy is different from most people, and many people ask for money first. Roy told everyone to wait and see, and then start investing after they were sure that there was no problem.
Roy talked a lot about movie theaters and theaters, and everyone was impressed by Roy's whimsy, and the more they talked, the more satisfied they became. I can't even wait to pay for construction on the spot.
At this dinner, I didn't eat much food or drink much, but what Roy said was that the spittle stars came out.
The main thing is that many of them don't understand, and Roy has to be responsible for explaining it to them. He became a teacher for this group of bigwigs. Even Nicole wasn't funny, and listened attentively. After all, what Roy said was indeed very advanced, and none of them had heard it.
By the time the dinner was over, Roy was too tired to do it, and his mouth was tired. However, the effect is very good, everyone is very optimistic about the industry, and they are all waiting to start preparing after going back.
They don't have to worry about the affairs of the blooming company, and they don't have to worry about the affairs of the movie drama, just come to these Roy.
But in the matter of the theater chain, they are the main force, after all, Roy, as an outsider, wants to get so many movie theaters in the Sirius Empire It is still unrealistic, this kind of thing is still convenient for the local snake.
….
After the division of labor was determined, everyone went back to their rooms. If you want to prepare in advance, it's best to start now. The men went back to their rooms and started talking on the phone—some asked the secretary to prepare the funds; There are subordinates who can find good locations; There are also plans to ask some friends to dinner and build a good relationship first......
Everyone is very optimistic about the prospects of film and theater chains, and they are very motivated.
Roy wasn't idle, he went back and studied the film camera while thinking about how to get the movie out.
Although he has the tools now, he still has to think about how to get them
The next day, at breakfast, Lisa saw Roy and felt a little apprehensive.
Because yesterday she waited in the room all night, Roy didn't come, and then she quietly asked Selena and Janet, and Roy didn't go either.
This made Lisa a little unsure of Roy's thoughts, could it be that Roy was tired of her? It hadn't been long since she had made up her mind to hug Roy's thigh, it wouldn't be so miserable......
Roy didn't know what was going on in Lisa's mind, he was purely thinking about things yesterday and didn't want to be disturbed.
"What's going on today?"
Roy asked at Janet.
"My lord, Mr. Hayden said, the main event of the day is a sacrificial event."
"Huh? Sacrifice?"
Roy frowned.
"Yes, the Red Sun Club is called that because their totem is the sun, and they regularly organize activities to worship the sun. Of course, Mr. Hayden also said that this sacrifice is not mandatory, it is all up to the individual."
Hearing that he could choose freely, Roy's brow relaxed.
He doesn't like this kind of godly chatter, he just doesn't force it.
He doesn't like sacrifices, though, but there's nothing wrong with seeing other people sacrifice.
So after breakfast, Roy was ready to take a look. After all, he is also a member of the Red Sun Club, so he has to find out.
The scene of the sacrifice was still organized by Hayden, and he did not wear the elegant clothes he wore before
Dressed in a red robe, he led a group of men and women who were also dressed in red robes, making strange gestures and bowing to a sun sculpture.
Sean was not there, and apparently they were just as indifferent to the sacrifice as Roy.
After a while, a servant brought a cart made of iron cages, which contained many small animals.
These sacrificial personnel all went to the iron cage to bring small animals, and then cut their throats and bleed, and the scene was immediately filled with a strong smell of blood.
Roy took a closer look and made sure that it was indeed a small animal, not a scary thing like a baby, and Roy immediately relieved himself.
Roy doesn't care what other people believe in, as long as it's not a cult. Otherwise, Roy was the first to run away.
After the sacrifice to the sun, their activities are not over, and there is one final step, saying what is to pray in front of the sun.
Co-authoring wasn't just a prayer?
The number of people who prayed this time was not large, only about a dozen. The other red-robed men left.
Then Roy was surprised to find that these people prayed for a few blindfolded girls to do a man-making movement......
"Rub, what a cult! Club of the Sun? Sun...... Day? Good guy, that's a fitting name!"
Roy was very disdainful in his heart, but he still watched it with great interest, after all, it was the first time he had watched the live broadcast, although it was a bit spicy. Because these members are middle-aged and even elderly......
"Ahem, these people are devout people who believe in the sun, and there aren't many of them in our club...... Just get used to it."
Hayden appeared next to Roy at this time and explained.
"Is the Red Sun Club so weird......
Roy was a little speechless.
"Ahem, it's good to get used to it, it's good to get used to it. It's better than killing people and setting fires......
