Deep down, Shao Yifu is more willing to sell the Shaw Cinemas to Debao. 【Full text reading..】\\r

But the price that Pan Disheng gave was far from what Shao Yifu expected! \r

How about leasing the Shaw Cinemas to Pan Disheng? \r

Neither. \r

First of all, the rental price given by Pan Disheng is too far from the rental price expected by Shao Yifu! \r

Secondly, at this stage, if it were not for the support of several pro-British companies and groups, TVB would have lost nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars every month. The negotiation between China and the UK has already come to an end, and Shao Yifu, who is unwilling to stay away from Xiangjiang, is bound to restore relations with the mainland. As a result, those pro-British companies and groups will certainly not continue to support TVB. Therefore, Shao Yifu must prepare enough loss-making funds for tvb before expressing his political position. \r

&nbsvb suffered repeated setbacks. Most of the shareholders who originally expected TVB to make big profits from the listing lost their confidence in TVB, so that Shao Yifu took over the shares of many other shareholders, which allowed Shao Yifu to hold more TVB shares at the same time. Shao Yifu's hands became tighter. \r

Therefore, it is impossible for Shao Yifu to rent the Shaw Cinemas to Pan Disheng. \r

In addition, because Shao Yifu has always been reluctant about the price of renting and selling Shaw Cinemas, and because Xu Cun has issued a ban on Debao, forcing Debao to take the road of self-sufficiency, the most important thing is because Xu Cun and Yang Ziqiong This dog man and woman went on vacation together! So, Pan Disheng, who felt that he had been cuckolded by Xu Cun, was furious, and asked Cen Jianxun to buy four medium-sized theaters with good locations, and then let Cen Jianxun buy two pieces of land with good locations to build his own multiplex cinema. . That is to say, Pan Disheng, who will soon have six theaters and movie theaters, is not as enthusiastic about the Shaw Brothers cinema line as before. \r

Therefore, although Shao Yifu hoped that Pan Disheng would take over the Shaw Cinemas, Shao Yifu could only choose to sell the Shaw Cinemas to Xu Cun in the end. \r

However - \r

Since Pan Disheng was not as keen on the Shaw Brothers cinema chain as before, the advantages and disadvantages between DreamWorks and Shaw Brothers were immediately exchanged. \r

Shaw first. \r

First of all, Shaw Brothers Cinemas has been losing money every day since the beginning of last year. If Yongsheng, Debao and other small and medium-sized film companies rented Shaw Brothers Cinemas to release their films from time to time, Shaw Brothers Cinemas would have closed long ago. Good luck. \r

Secondly, if the Shaw Brothers cinema chain does not find a new home for one day, Shaw Brothers Pictures cannot stop production for one day, and Shaw Brothers Pictures cannot stop production for one day. The employees who have made benefits pay their wages (the vast majority of Shaw Brothers employees pay monthly or even annual wages), and this part of the loss is even higher than the loss of the Shaw Cinemas. \r

Once again, Shaw Brothers Pictures will not stop production for a day. An industry as big as Shaw Brothers Studios has to stand there and cannot create any income for Shao Yifu. \r

Let alone DreamWorks. \r

Although the bandit model of the loose alliance, which is a loose alliance, has great limitations, the combination of DreamWorks Cinemas and Anle Cinemas alone can form a cinema that is not much worse than the Jiahe Cinemas. Wire. \r

In addition, DreamWorks Cinema also has the staunch ally of Shuangnan Cinema. \r

Therefore, on the surface, Xu Cun is not in a hurry to buy Shaw Cinemas. \r

Of course, this is only superficial. \r

Today, the total number of theaters and movie theaters in Xiangjiang has reached 133, although it is nearly one-third less than the total of 180 theaters in 1969, but the account is not enough. So count. \r

In 1969, the economy of Hong Kong was still underdeveloped, not to mention the New Territories, and even Kowloon and Hong Kong Island had many undeveloped rural areas. Therefore, most of the so-called 180 theaters in those days were open-air theaters, neighborhood theaters, and country theaters. \r

Today, of the 133 theaters in Xiangjiang, there are about 80 or so with more than 500 seats, and the number of seats in the newly built multiplex cinemas in recent years is basically more than 1,000. \r

Now, the current situation of the Hong Kong film market is that there are too many film companies, limited audience base, and too dense distribution of movie theaters. In some better locations, there are four or five theaters and movie theaters on one street, and they can fly up to grab audiences. \r

Under this circumstance, there will inevitably be a situation where the weak will prey on the weak, and the market will eliminate redundant theaters and movie theaters. \r

Although the equipment of the Shaw Brothers Cinema is seriously aging and the decoration is seriously out of step with the times, the Shaw Cinemas is the longest existing cinema chain in Xiangjiang, and it is also the cinema chain with the best overall location. As long as Xu Cun can buy the Shaw Cinemas, then renovate the Shaw Cinemas and replace the equipment. With the advantageous geographical location of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, the reputation that Shaw Brothers has accumulated for decades, and the consistently good films of DreamWorks, the cinemas under Shaw Brothers Cinemas will not be afraid of any competition or challenge! \r

Besides, the Shuangnan Cinema is only an ally after all, and it still has a competitive relationship with DreamWorks in the mainland market. Not to mention the Shuangnan Cinema, even the Anle Cinema of the Jiang brothers is just an ally, and allies’ theaters and cinemas will always be there. It is impossible to have its own theater and movie theater! \r

The most important thing is that this year is the beginning of the golden decade of Hong Kong movies, and DreamWorks has been very aggressive this year. In terms of Hong Kong's hometown, DreamWorks has invested in "Zhu Xian", "Mr. Zombie 3", "Royal Sister 4" and so on. Production, and invested in Gao Zhisen's "Happy Ghost 3", Wang Jing's "Frog Prince", Yu Rendai's "Reiki" and other small and medium-sized productions. In Hollywood, DreamWorks has invested in super productions such as "Terminator", "The Little Mermaid", "Ghostbusters", "Little Monsters" and "Out of Africa". According to preliminary estimates, the total production cost of the films invested by DreamWorks this year exceeds 120 million US dollars. \r

Although Hong Kong's box office market is small~lightnovelpub.net~, Hong Kong's box office is an important basis for distributors in other regions to purchase Hong Kong films. \r

Therefore, Xu Cun certainly wants to create a DreamWorks cinema chain that is firmly in his hands and does not affect the performance of any movies! \r

Therefore, Xu Cun, who seems to be in no hurry to buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas on the surface, is actually eager to bring Shaw Brothers Cinemas into DreamWorks Cinemas! \r

One is in a hurry, the other is in a hurry, Debao is not as enthusiastic as before, the negotiation between Xian Feiran and Fang Yihua is of course very smooth - while Xu Cun's family is on vacation, the Shaw Brothers Cinema The price has dropped from HK$340 million to HK$290 million. \r

At present, I just wait for Xu Cun to return from vacation and meet with Shao Yifu, an old friend who has been fighting with Xu Cun for five or six years, to have a talk, and then set the final price of Shaw Brothers Cinemas. You can change from the Shao family to the Xu family. \r
