Chapter 637 Changes
Most of those left behind are Western movie theater operators.
Most of the visitors are retail investors, and they don't show specific types of movies, but whatever is available, and even some underground pornographic movies are shown. They don't want to be bound, everyone has their own ambitions.
Chen Qi discussed the specific terms with them again. He didn't want any theater. Many theaters were old and dilapidated. This kind of theater would definitely not work. Afterwards, he will inspect them one by one and only those who are qualified can join the team.
The model is relatively loose, mainly focusing on three points:
The term is four years. After joining, they will be unified into the left-wing "Shuangnan Cinema Line". Each theater will manage itself, arrange films in a unified way, promote them in a unified way, and divide the shares according to common market standards.
A five-member committee is formed to be responsible for the introduction and screening of foreign language films. One person has veto power (Hong Kong is a free port, there is no quota limit, you can introduce it at will)
After the theater chain is formed, if a new person wants to join, it must be approved by more than half of the people.
"Shuangnan Cinema Line" is the official name, with Nanhua Theater and Nanyang Theater as the leaders, so it is called Shuangnan. This belongs to Yindu, and the multi-hall theater that Chen Qi wants to build belongs to Dongfang Company.
After this multiplex theater is completed, it will also be included in the Shuangnan Cinema Line in the form of a franchise.
Preliminarily negotiated.
Jiang Zhiwen found Chen Qi and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Chen for taking a new step. The quality of your works has been verified early. It is the right time to expand the theater chain. It will definitely improve steadily and everything will go well!"
"It's easy to say, thank you for taking the lead in supporting me!"
"Don't dare!"
"Oh, Mr. Chen, I haven't said a word to you yet. I've heard of your name a long time ago. Today, when I see you, you are indeed well-deserved. You are so handsome.
Dragon chapter and phoenix posture..
Uncle Zhou intervened unexpectedly. Jiang Zhiwen rolled his eyes and had to introduce Yunyun.
Chen Qi said a few perfunctory words, then greeted others, and finally walked over to the two comrades from Bank of China and China Resources. Both of them were laughing.
Said: "Comrade Chen Qi, today is an eye-opener. It's so late to meet you!"
"But we also have some questions!"
"Speaking!"
"How many theaters do you expect to expand to?"
"Don't dare to speak big words, let's limit it to 20 companies!"
"Why do you value Western films and import them vigorously? Aren't you afraid of attracting wolves into the house and encroaching on the local market?"
"The Hong Kong film industry is too deformed and will decline sooner or later. They cannot stop Hollywood. In this case, we might as well take a step ahead and control the introduction channels of Western films so that the money can fall into our own pockets."
The two nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back and report truthfully. We hope to reach cooperation as soon as possible."
"Chinese-funded enterprises have always kept a low profile in Hong Kong, even a little aggrieved. People like you are too rare." A comrade from China Resources sighed.
"China Resources supplies agricultural and sideline products throughout Hong Kong and ensures stable prices, yet it is looked down upon by Hong Kong people. You endure humiliation and bear the heavy burden for the sake of the overall interests of the country. I personally admire you very much!"
"Hey, these words are serious!"
The other party was shocked and didn't dare to take it seriously. Good guy, Comrade Xiao Chen dared to say anything.
After a while, everyone left one after another, boarded the pirate ship and simply smashed the cans. What followed was huge expectations and excitement: If this theater alliance can be formed, it will definitely be the largest force in Hong Kong!
It makes me excited to think about it. It shows both leftist films and Hollywood films. Who can beat it?
And when it comes to imported films, don't think that the mainland is closed off. In the 1980s, the mainland let go of "Superman", "Zorro" and "First Blood"
Movies like "Gunhart" just don't have a split-bill model.
Since the box office of foreign films was very high, some people protested and later banned them. It was not until 1994 that "The Fugitive" began to introduce them again.
At that time, the domestic market was already in bad shape.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen!"
"Wow, you were so awesome just now. I have never seen anyone dare to speak to the theater like that!"
Gu Weili followed Chen Qi back to the office, excited: "The theater's nostrils are in the sky, I didn't expect you to seize its lifeline. I just calculated, if all their theaters pass the inspection, 20 theaters can join."
"There are not so many tatters. Half of them are good."
Chen Qi smiled, stood in front of the window and pondered for a moment, then said: "The news must be released as soon as possible. Our colleagues are also waiting. Please record it and I will make the following arrangements!"
Gu Weili didn't understand the story, but she knew how to do things, so she immediately prepared pen and paper. This attitude made him feel very comfortable, much better than Shi Nansheng.
“Inviting theater colleagues from Hong Kong and Kowloon to have a meeting has been fruitful.
Everyone is very active in forming an open and inclusive theater chain, and everyone expresses their opinions and offers suggestions. After a fairly democratic and fair discussion, we reached a preliminary agreement.
Just mention a few words about the content of the meeting, but don’t reveal too much! "
"good!"
She brushed her hand while writing, and Chen Qi continued: "I came to Hong Kong in 1981, and unknowingly for three years, under the care of my colleagues, the company's business has been booming, showing a state where everything is competing and full of vitality.
With the establishment of a new theater chain this time, we will definitely continue to work hard to serve the people of Hong Kong and bring more and better literary and artistic works. "
"puff!"
Gu Weili was happy while writing and said hurriedly: "Sorry, sorry, I have to adapt to the language habits here and serve the people more."
"Write another post to Feng Bingzhong and Chen Rongmei, telling them that Princess Jin is at the end of her rope and has no future. Join early and enjoy the benefits. The treatment for uprising, surrender, and prisoners is different!"
It was not until the mid-to-late 1990s that theater chains opened up to each other in Hong Kong.
At that time, Hong Kong films were in decline, costs were rising, overseas markets were shrinking, and Hollywood was entering the market. Various factors made everyone suffer and had to jointly screen in order to earn more box office.
But it could not save the decline. If the mainland market had not been opened, Hong Kong films would have died long ago. The opening of the mainland gave them a new wave, and they survived until now, and then put down their bowls and cursed.
So at this time, Chen Qi set up a large cinema chain, and Jiang Boyao angrily killed Cai Xukun one by one!
But he also became the public enemy of Hong Kong, but it didn’t matter. The left was originally a public enemy.
TVB.
Run Run Shaw read the newspaper and didn’t say anything, but just sighed silently. If he was 20 years younger, he would definitely fight. Now he is old,
Shaw Brothers is in a recession, and he has already focused on television.
What’s more, Hong Kong is going to return, and he has to change direction.
Golden Harvest.
Zou Wenhuai was terrified and kept saying: "How many theaters did he pull? How many theaters did he pull?
"No one knows yet! "He Guanchang said.
"I thought he only wanted to expand to five or six, but now he has brought all the Western films over. In the future, if two types of films are shown consecutively, the box office will be higher!"
Chen Qi said that it would be enough to keep Zuo Pai and Golden Harvest, but if one of them was too powerful, the other would be swallowed up. Zou Wenhuai knew this very well and cursed Chen Qi inwardly, because the other party was crazy about it, and he had to do it too, otherwise he would fall behind.
"Contact Feng Bingzhong and Chen Rongmei immediately!"
"Contact those who went to the meeting, forget about those who joined, and try to invite those who didn't join!"
"Then should we show Western films?"
Both of them looked constipated. They didn't want to show Western films, but if the number of theaters increased, the number of movies had to increase.
Zou Wenhuai pondered for a while: "Teddy Robin went to Golden Harvest. If Wong Pak-ming comes again, our annual output will also increase. We also have friends in Hollywood, so we should watch some Western films appropriately. "
Feng Bingzhong and Chen Rongmei became Xiangrao, and were fought over by the leftists and Jiahe.
Princess Jin was still at the part where Maijia surrendered to the enemy. The situation changed rapidly, so the two of them naturally would not tell Lei Juekun and discuss privately.
(Got it—.)
