Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

Sorry, that chapter is due tomorrow morning.

…

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

Therefore, Xiangjiang is really a tiny place.

How many theaters does it take to build a cinema chain in such a small city like Xiangjiang?

Let me talk about the current major theaters first.

1. Golden Princess Cinemas, with 24 theaters under its umbrella, is currently the largest cinema in Xiangjiang.

2. Golden Harvest Cinemas, which has 19 theaters and is currently the second largest cinema in Xiangjiang.

3. Shaw Cinemas, which has 14 theaters and is currently the third largest theater in Xiangjiang.

4. Shuangnan Cinemas, with 13 theaters under its banner, is currently the fourth largest cinema in Xiangjiang.

Why are there only a few theaters in each of the four major theater lines? Is it because they have no money to rent and buy theaters?

of course not!

Both Lei Juekun and Shao Yifu are rare rich people in Xiangjiang—they each have billions of dollars in assets, and this is not counting the assets controlled by their families.

The Shuangnan theater chain is even more powerful - behind it is a big country, and it is extremely simple to expand its theater chain!

Even if Zou Wenhuai, who is relatively poor and powerless, wants to expand the theater chain, there are countless theaters vying to join Golden Harvest Cinemas.

Then why don't the major theaters expand their theaters, and the Shaw Cinemas not only don't expand, but cut their own wings?

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

Take Xu Cun's eight theaters and more than 14,600 seats in the cinema - if Xu Cun's eight theaters and cinemas show five movies every day, and if the shows are full, then after one month, There will be 2.2 million moviegoers in these eight theaters and cinemas alone.

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

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

Therefore, Xu Cun's theater chain is a theater chain composed of fifteen world's most advanced theaters and movie theaters.

It is too easy to buy seven more theaters or build seven more movie theaters with Xu Cun's wealth!

But theaters and cinemas are no different than others - theaters and cinemas have too high requirements for locations! The location is bad, no matter how good a movie is, it won’t sell at the box office!

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

Xu Cun doesn't want the theater chain he built to disappear!

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

In addition, Xu Cun's establishment of a temporary theater chain is not aimless - under normal circumstances, 15 theaters and cinemas are enough for DreamWorks, but if Xu Cun's movies or other big productions of DreamWorks are released, 15 theaters, There may be a shortage of movie theaters, so that temporary theaters can be used as backup theaters to unlock the movie's box office potential.

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

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

...

Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang, especially Jiang Zhiqiang, who was in charge of traveling around Europe and the United States to buy foreign films, had great admiration for Xu Cun, a legendary man who was slightly younger than them!

Therefore, facing Xu Cun's appointment, Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang arrived at DreamWorks early.

As soon as the three met, Xu Cun politely shook hands with Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang respectively, and then said: "I have admired your names for a long time, and I have planned to meet you for a long time, but I just can't smoke." Get out."

The few words Xu Cun said were not lies, at least half of them were not lies—Xu Cun really wanted to meet Jiang Zhiqiang, the driving force behind the Chinese-language movie, for a long time.

After hearing Xu Cunzhi's words, Jiang Zhiwen said: "Mr. Xu, you are too polite. We two brothers have admired you for a long time. It's a pity that we didn't have the chance to see you!"

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

Xu Cun said with a smile: "In the future, you can tell those foreigners with confidence that I, Xu Cun, and you Jiang Zhiqiang are good friends!"

Seeing that Xu Cun has no airs, Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang have a better impression of Xu Cun. Based on this, before Xu Cun could open his mouth, Jiang Zhiwen said, "Mr. Xu, what temporary theaters are you talking about?"

Inviting Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang to sit down, Xu Cuncai said: "Whenever there is a movie in DreamWorks that is going to be released, someone from DreamWorks will notify you, and you can come and watch the film. If we get along, we can form a temporary Theatres, when the movie falls, the theaters will automatically disband, and then you can freely show any movies you want."

For scattered theaters like Anle Cinemas, the biggest problem is insufficient and unstable film sources!

Therefore, the addition of Dreamworks, a partner who can provide high-quality film sources, is of course a great thing for scattered theaters like Anle Cinemas!

Even better, Xu Cun didn't force them to release DreamWorks movies.

Therefore, Jiang Zhiwen, who had no reason for refusing to form a temporary theater chain, stood up and shook hands with Xu Cun after thinking for a while, "The four theaters in our Anle Cinema Circuit are willing to join the temporary theater chain."

Xu Cun got up and shook hands with Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang who stood up later, and said with a smile, "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 cinemas, said sincerely: "Mr. Xu, please forgive me, even if you combine all the scattered theaters in Xiangjiang into one To form a temporary cinema chain together, compared with the four major cinema chains of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, and Shuangnan, you are also in a slightly inferior position. I think you might as well cooperate with one or even a part of them first, so that you Films that have been painstakingly made will not be buried."

Xu Cun, who has a very high emotional intelligence, can naturally hear Jiang Zhiqiang's good intentions! Therefore, Xu Cun left his chair, came to Jiang Zhiqiang's side, then patted Hou Jiang Zhiqiang on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, Aqiang, I will use the word 'Xu Cun' to guarantee that you will be in the Anle Yuan." The Liberty Cinemas that joined the line is definitely the largest cinemas in Hong Kong!"
