Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

v1 Chapter 288: Liberty Cinema

?Sorry, that chapter is due tomorrow morning.

​​

​​

In the 1980s, the population of Xiangjiang was over five million, many times smaller than the population of most provinces in China.

​​

Therefore, Xiangjiang is really a small place.

​​

How many theaters does it take to build a theater chain in such a small city?

​​

Let’s talk about the current major theater chains first.

​​

1. The Golden Princess Cinema Line, which has 24 theaters, is currently the largest theater chain in Hong Kong.

​​

2. The Golden Harvest Cinema Line, which has 19 theaters, is currently the second largest theater chain in Hong Kong.

​​

3. The Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, which has 14 theaters, is currently the third largest theater chain in Hong Kong.

​​

Fourth, the Shuangnan Cinema Line, which has thirteen theaters, is currently the fourth largest theater chain in Hong Kong.

​​

Why do the four major theater chains only have so many theaters? Is it because they don't have the money to rent and buy theaters?

​​

of course not!

​​

Lei Juekun and Shao Yifu are rare wealthy people in Xiangjiang - each of them has billions of assets, and this is not counting the assets held by their families.

​​

The Shuangnan Cinema Line is even more powerful - there is a big country standing behind it, and it is even more simple for it to expand the cinema line!

​​

Even if Zou Wenhuai, who has no money and power, wants to expand the theater chain, there are countless theaters vying to join the Jiahe theater chain.

​​

Then why didn't several major theater chains expand their theater chains, and the Shaw Brothers theater chain not only did not expand, but also cut its wings?

​​

The answer is very simple - because several major theater chains are already saturated, adding one more theater will be a burden to several major theater chains.

​​

Take the eight theaters owned by Xu Cun and the more than 14,600 seats in the movie theater. If Xu Cun's eight theaters and movie theaters show five movies every day, and the theaters are full, then in one month, These eight theaters and cinemas alone will have 2.2 million moviegoers.

​​

This number of viewers almost accounted for half of the total number of people in Xiangjiang.

​​

Therefore, too many theaters in a small place like Xiangjiang are a heavy burden for a theater chain.

​​

Therefore, the theater chain in Xu Cun's mind is a combination of fifteen world's most advanced theaters and cinemas.

​​

With Xu Cun's wealth, it's too easy to buy seven more cinemas or build seven more cinemas!

​​

But theaters and movie theaters are no different - theaters and movie theaters have too much demand for locations! The location is not good, no matter how good the movie is, it will not sell at the box office!

​​

Moreover, Xu Cun, who knows the future development trend, knows that within a few years, the theater chain and the theater chain will have to fight each other, a cruel game where the winner survives and the loser disappears.

​​

Xu Cun didn't want the cinema chain he built to disappear!

​​

Therefore, Xu Cun must buy or build the remaining seven theaters or movie theaters in the best locations!

​​

In addition, Xu Cun's establishment of a temporary theater chain is not without a purpose - under normal circumstances, fifteen theaters and movie theaters are enough for DreamWorks, but if Xu Cun's movies or other major productions of DreamWorks are released, fifteen theaters, Movie theaters may be a bit underwhelming, so that temporary theaters can be used as backup theaters to unlock the movie's box-office potential.

​​

Therefore, the temporary theater chain is very important to DreamWorks and Xu Cun, both now and in the future.

​​

It is precisely because of this that Xu Cun personally called Jiang Zhiwen for the first time, and took time to meet the brothers Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang.

​​

……

​​

Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang, especially Jiang Zhiqiang, who is in charge of buying and selling extra films in Europe and the United States, have great admiration for Xu Cun, a legendary man who is a little younger than them!

​​

Therefore, in the face of Xu Cun's appointment, Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang arrived at DreamWorks early.

​​

As soon as the three of them met, Xu Cun politely shook hands with Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang respectively, and said, "I have long admired the names of the two of you, and I had planned to meet them for a long time, but I just couldn't get it. Get off."

​​

The few words Xu Cun said are not lies, at least half of them are not lies - Xu Cun really wanted to see Jiang Zhiqiang, the man behind the Chinese film, for a long time.

​​

Hearing Xu Cun's words, Jiang Zhiwen said, "Mr. Xu, you are too polite, we two brothers have admired you for a long time, and we regret not seeing you!"

​​

Jiang Zhiqiang is in line with Jiang Zhiwen's words: "Our two brothers have indeed admired Mr. Xu for a long time, and I will tell you a little secret. When I was buying movies abroad, foreigners often asked me if I knew you, and who was you? Not friends? I will always answer them, I have been friends with you for many years." Then, Jiang Zhiqiang clasped his fists and said: "Please also Mr. Xu, you have a lot of adults, don't expose my lies, otherwise, I will tell you again. You can't go abroad to buy movies."

​​

Xu Cun smiled and said, "In the future, you can confidently tell the foreigners that I, Xu Cun, and Jiang Zhiqiang are good friends!"

​​

Seeing that Xu Cun has no pretence, Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang have a better impression of Xu Cun. Based on this, without waiting for Xu Cun to speak, Jiang Zhiwen said, "Mr. Xu, what is the temporary theater chain you're talking about?"

​​

After entertaining Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang to sit down, Xu Cuncai said: "Whenever my DreamWorks has a movie to be released, DreamWorks will send someone to notify you, you can come and watch the movie, and we can form a temporary The theater chain, when the movie is finished, the theater chain will automatically disband, and then you can freely show any film you want."

​​

For scattered theaters like the Anle Cinema Line, the biggest problem is the lack of film sources and instability!

​​

Therefore, the addition of DreamWorks, a partner that can provide high-quality film sources, is of course a good thing for scattered theaters like the Anle Cinema Line!

​​

Even better, Xu Cun did not force them to release DreamWorks movies.

​​

Therefore, ~lightnovelpub.net~ Jiang Zhiwen, who had no reason to refuse to form a temporary theater chain, stood up and shook hands with Xu Cun after thinking for a while, "Our four theaters in the Anle Theater chain are willing to join the temporary theater chain. "

​​

Xu Cun stood up and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang, who stood up. He smiled and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

​​

Jiang Zhiqiang really admires Xu Cun, who is admired by Europeans and Americans! Therefore, after shaking hands with Xu Cun, Jiang Zhiqiang, who did not know that Xu Cun already had eight theaters and movie theaters, said sincerely: "Mr. Xu, please forgive me, even if you combine all the scattered theaters in Xiangjiang into one Together to form a temporary theater chain, compared with the four major theater chains of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Princess Jin, and Shuangnan, you are also in a slightly dominant position. I think you might as well cooperate with one of them or even a part of them, then you will The hard-earned films don’t get buried.”

​​

Xu Cun, who has a very high emotional intelligence, can naturally hear that Jiang Zhiqiang is well-intentioned! So, Xu Cun left his chair, came to Jiang Zhiqiang, patted Hou Jiang Zhiqiang on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, A Qiang, I use the word 'Xu Cun' to guarantee that you will be in the Orphanage. The free theater chain that the line joins is definitely the largest theater chain in Hong Kong!"
