"Mr. Zhang, are you here too?"

"Ah, it's Boss Lu, long time no see. [;Starting]"

"Old Chen, do you think Kang Jianfei had a complete falling out with Lei Juekun this time?"

"With so many people coming today, I don't think it's better to set up a theater chain."

"..."

In the living room, the guests gathered in twos and threes, chatting and laughing loudly, or whispering.

Today is Kang Jianfei's 21st birthday. He invited very few guests to this birthday party, and the location was chosen in Pan Yingzi's small villa, making it difficult for entertainment reporters to find it.

Among the guests in the living room now, more than 20 people are the owners or managers of the cinemas that Ma Qiao contacted, as well as brothers Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang from the Anle Cinema Line.

The master Kang Jianfei was still there to greet the guests, but the Jiang brothers hid in the corner and whispered.

Jiang Zhiwen looked at the people around him with a glass of wine, and said, "Little brother, Kang Jianfei invited so many movie theater owners today, wouldn't he really want to form a theater chain?"

Jiang Zhiqiang shook his head and said, "Probably not."

Now Anle Cinema is still under the control of his eldest brother, Jiang Zhiwen. He said, "It's okay to cooperate with Oriental DreamWorks, but it is absolutely not allowed to have a cinema with him."

Jiang Zhiqiang said seriously: "If we can really cooperate with Kang Jianfei stably, I think it would be good to form a theater chain."

Jiang Zhiwen was much more conservative, shook his head and said, "We have been making western films for decades, and the source of the film cannot be guaranteed. The risk of doing a theater is too great."

Jiang Zhiqiang felt that this time was a good opportunity, but unfortunately Anle Films was his eldest brother in charge, so he couldn't persuade him at all.

Why does Jiang Zhiwen strongly oppose the establishment of a big cinema chain?

That's because among the theater dealers present today, the four theaters in the Anle Cinema Line are the best, and the others are small roles. Even in the Anle Cinema, as long as Western films are shown, Chinese film sources are very scarce.

The other dozen or so small theaters used to show basically in the second and third rounds, picking up the rest of the films and showing them. In this way, the copy rent is much lower, which can reduce costs and protect profits.

If the Anle Cinema Line is combined with these small cinemas to form a fixed cinema line. Then the source will be a big problem. There are films from Oriental DreamWorks that are good to say when they are released, but at other times it is difficult to maintain the theater chain. At that time, Anle's four theaters will inevitably be dragged down by other theaters. Not only will it be difficult to make more money, but it is likely to lose money due to insufficient film sources.

Under the introduction of Ma Qiao and Pan Yingzi, Kang Jianfei got to know those academies one by one, and after a few chats, he immediately changed to another target.

After a long time, Kang Jianfei walked up to the Jiang brothers, stretched out his hand and said to Jiang Zhiwen, "Hello, Mr. Jiang."

"Hello, Mr. Kang." Jiang Zhiwen smiled and shook hands with Kang Jianfei.

Kang Jianfei smiled at Jiang Zhiqiang again: "Brother Jiang. Long time no see."

"Yeah. Long time no see." Jiang Zhiqiang shook hands with him.

Dance music was already playing in the living room, and the lights were dimmed. Kang Jianfei said, "Why don't we go upstairs to chat?"

Jiang Zhiwen smiled and said, "The guest is as much as the host."

The three went upstairs to a room. After gossiping for a while, Kang Jianfei said, "Has Ma Qiao revealed my intention?"

Jiang Zhiwen nodded and said, "Mr. Ma mentioned it. I'm very interested in the idea of ​​a temporary theater chain. But when will a temporary theater chain be formed, and when will it be operated separately? How can this be determined?"

Kang Jianfei said: "When a new film from Oriental DreamWorks is released, everyone will sit down and watch the film together. As long as the majority of people agree, a temporary theater chain will be formed. After the film is finished, the theater chain will automatically disband."

Jiang Zhiqiang asked again: "Which method does the temporary theater chain take? Is it to rent theaters directly for short-term like we did last time in the United States, or to share shares with everyone?"

Kang Jianfei said: "It depends on the meaning of the two. Which choice do you think is more suitable?"

The Jiang brothers looked at each other. Jiang Zhiwen said: "Partnership, good gathering and good dispersal."

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Of course I can, and I don't have to participate in the temporary cinema."

Jiang Zhiwen was overjoyed when he heard that Kang Jianfei was not participating in the theater. Because Anle's four theaters are the largest, as long as Kang Jianfei does not participate. Then the temporary theater chain must be controlled by their brothers.

There are two types of academy businessmen. The Jiang family has always been a theater businessman, and their main focus is on operating theaters. And if the temporary theater chain plan goes well, then the Jiang family will be considered half a theater chain business.

Operating a theater chain is more profitable than operating a theater, but it is also more risky. However, Kang Jianfei's temporary cinema plan avoids a lot of risks, which makes Jiang Zhiwen, who is more conservative, quite moved.

The Jiang brothers are satisfied, and Kang Jianfei is also very happy. There is no need for him to grab the profit of the theater chain, otherwise the conflict with the Jiang family will not be worth the gain.

The Anle Cinema Line is the core of the future temporary cinema chain. Without the four major theaters under Anle, the so-called temporary cinema chain is a joke.

In fact, Kang Jianfei still has an idea in his heart, that is, to pull out the two shareholders of the Golden Princess Cinema, Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong, to form another cinema. This will not only disgust Lei Juekun, but also have his own cinema. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. .

However, it is still too early to implement this plan, and the conditions are not mature in all aspects. Chen and Feng will not easily break up with Lei Juekun. Even if they agree to form a new theater chain, it must be Chen and Feng who are in control of the new theater chain, and they will not be stupid enough to be used by Kang Jianfei as a spearman.

After chatting for a while, the three of Kang Jianfei returned to the banquet hall. He happily danced with Guan Zhilin, while the Jiang brothers started to deal with other hospital businessmen with wine glasses.

Two days later, nearly 20 academies, including the Jiang brothers, initially reached a cooperation agreement on a temporary theater chain.

The agreement stipulates that when a new film is released in Oriental DreamWorks, after the test film, all members will vote to decide whether to form a temporary theater chain. Once the theater chain is formed, Jiang Zhiqiang is responsible for the operation of the theater chain, and other academy businessmen take turns to send people to supervise the financial and operating conditions. When no new DreamWorks films are released, the temporary theater chain is automatically disbanded, and the Anle Theater chain continues to go back to show Western films, while other theaters continue to show their low-priced "old films".

Of course, there are additional provisions in the agreement: that is, when encountering good films from other companies, or Western films with potential, they may also convene a meeting to discuss whether it is necessary to form a temporary theater chain.

Oriental DreamWorks, in the chairman's office.

Kang Jianfei hung up the call from Jiang Zhiqiang, called his secretary Chen Shuli in, and instructed: "Notify the Marketing Department, stop all communication with Princess Jin, and contact Jiang Zhiqiang directly in the future."

Chen Shuli didn't know the plan of the temporary theater chain, and was surprised by Kang Jianfei's order. She asked, "It's still showing, will it be delayed for a few days?"

Kang Jianfei sneered: "No need, just leave someone to wait to receive the money. We have an agreement with Princess Jin. If they dare to force the painting when the attendance is good, send them a lawyer's letter directly."

Chen Shuli didn't ask any further questions, and immediately went out to notify the people in the marketing department.

Kang Jianfei leaned back on the leather chair, and the mood that had been suppressed for so many days was finally relieved. Lei Juekun wanted to cut off his canvas and force him to stop. When the temporary theater line came out in a few days, the old guy would be so shocked that his eyes fell.

Temporary cinema chain was a method for those surviving cinema dealers to be forced out in the last few years of the 20th century, when the Hong Kong film industry declined as a whole. It was not until the 21st century that Hong Kong's temporary cinema operations matured.

In this era, except for the last time Kang Jianfei and Jiang Zhiqiang engaged in the United States, there is no such thing as a temporary theater chain.

It can be said that the emergence of the temporary cinema chain is of epoch-making significance for the Hong Kong film industry, just as Kang Jianfei suggested that Princess Jin cancel the minimum guarantee fee for the cinema. Especially those small film companies or independent producers who have made good films have a new channel for filming, and they will not be constrained by big companies and big theater chains as before.

"Jingle Bell……"

As soon as Chen Shuli went out, the phone of Kang Jianfei's office rang.

When Kang Jianfei picked it up, it was his secretary at Phoenix TV, Mei Xinlin, who called.

Mei Xinlin is a nearly forty-year-old woman with a soft and pleasant voice. She said, "Boss, TVB's filming has already started. I got a copy of the main cast here."

"Fax here." Kang Jianfei hung up the phone.

In fact, this kind of trivial matter doesn't need Kang Jianfei to take care of, but Kang Jianfei is the producer of the next TV series on Phoenix TV, so there is no harm in knowing it in advance.

In Parallel Space, the first part is only 20 episodes. However, since Kang Jianfei expects that the ratings of this TV series will be very good~lightnovelpub.net~ naturally, its lifespan will be greatly extended. At the beginning, McDonald's was going to shoot 40 episodes, but after its ratings broke 70%, Xiao Ruoyuan was asked to change the script and increase the length of the episode to 60 episodes.

Kang Jianfei is not in a hurry at all now that the filming is over.

With strong curiosity, Kang Jianfei really wanted to see who the main actors of TVB would be this time. Because in the original time and space, the 83 version of Huang Rong and Weng Meiling had been secretly won by Kang Jianfei, and they could only sign a contract after a period of time. And the actors of Huang Yaoshi, Temujin, Lu Guanying, etc., are still employees of Phoenix TV.

Kang Jianfei took a look at the cast list that had been faxed over, and almost spit it out at the beginning. Guo Jing's actor is Huang Rihua, which has not changed, but Huang Rong's actor is He Chaoqiong...

Is tvb going to use the gambling king's daughter as a publicity stunt?

What Kang Jianfei didn't know was that He Chaoqiong and his half-brother He Chaoxiong were both on TVB, which was half study and half work. He Chaoqiong also starred in a TVB drama last year, but most people don't know that she is the daughter of the gambling king.
