Chapter 769 The theater chain is completed (4300+ chapters, please subscribe~)

Sophisticated culture!

"It's been a long time!" Wu Jianye said to Huang Jianxin with a smile while sitting on the sofa.

For nearly a year, Huang Jianxin traveled almost all major cities across the country, reorganized the original local distribution companies, and built his own flagship theater, all of which were completed by Huang Jianxin in cooperation with Xiangjiang’s Fengge Cinema Line. For follow-up reasons, Huang Jianxin even took the lead in this cooperation.

Huang Jianxin's figure is obviously thinner than before leaving, but he is very energetic.

"It would be a lie to say it's not hard work, but it's very interesting!" Huang Jianxin took a sip of Very Coke with an excited expression on his face.

"After more than a year, I finally lived up to my trust. Most of the distribution companies have been integrated. At the same time, the flagship theaters in major cities have not been completed except for the cooperation with Heung Kong Land. Already!"

The buildings that Heung Kong Land builds in China are large-scale shopping malls, so the cooperation between the two parties has not been completed because it needs to cooperate with the construction of Landmark. Instead, some independent theaters have been built.

During this period of time, Huang Jianxin has thoroughly experienced what it means to spend money like water. In this year, the cash spent in his hands must have been at least 15 billion. Such expenses made him At one point I thought I was in a dream.

The integrated distribution companies are basically municipal-level distribution companies. Of course, not all municipal-level companies are just integrated by Huang Jianxin.

First of all, Huang Jianxin will choose the city he wants to integrate in major cities across the country, and then negotiate with China Film, Radio and Television and other departments. China Film, Radio and Television and other departments will examine the profitability of the city's distribution company. And other departments have their own judging criteria.

If the profit reaches their standard, they will not give up the distribution company, and if not, they will agree to the acquisition of Xiangjiang Fengge Cinema Line.

To put it bluntly, we keep those who make money, and you take away those who don’t make money!
This has also led to the fact that among the acquired distribution companies, the domestic box office has a heavy position, and the distribution companies in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai have not won Fengge Cinema Line.

Most of the issuing companies obtained are inland cities.

As for my own flagship theater, there are not so many restrictions, especially in those areas where the distribution company has not been won, such as Shanghai, Jinling, Lin'an and other areas. Fengge Cinema Line has built 3 -5 flagship theaters with different numbers!
This is also the bulk of the cost.

That is to say, it only cost 91 billion yuan to do this kind of thing in 92-15. If it was changed to the era when Wu Jianye was reborn, even if it was 150 billion yuan, it would be impossible to complete this matter.

"Now Fengge Cinemas is the largest private cinema chain in China, with 10 theaters with more than 25 halls, 7 theaters with 9-65 halls, and 4 theaters with 6-40 halls. distribution companies in major cities in China, and the number of theaters has reached 200!" Huang Jianxin said excitedly.

Wu Jianye was also very happy after hearing this data, and affirmed: "It's already very good to have this result!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Jianye picked up a check from his desk, handed it to Huang Jianxin, and said with a smile, "This is a reward for your work this time!"

When Huang Jianxin saw that the check was written with 20 yuan, he subconsciously refused, "Director Wu, this is not good, I was originally working for the company!"

Wu Jianye waved his hand and said: "If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded, and if you have done something wrong, you will be punished. You did a good job this time, and you deserve it!"

Huang Jianxin smiled and accepted the 20 check in Wu Jianye's hand.

Wu Jianye said: "The theater chain has been established now, but there is still a lot of work waiting for you to deal with. First of all, in terms of the management of the theater chain, the domestic Fengge theater chain will be different from the Xiangjiang Fengge theater chain. , when the time comes, you will also be the general manager of the domestic Fengge theater chain, and the first thing to do is to set up our own box office supervision department!"

In the past, because the domestic distribution companies wanted to compete with China Film Group for profits, the box office of many movies was deceived. Now the domestic Fengge Cinemas have also accepted some domestic distribution companies. Although some people have been trained, who There is also no way to guarantee that they will not bring the set that they used to play in the distribution company to Fengge Theater. There are many examples of a large company being defeated by external forces, but there are also many internal problems that lead to Something went wrong.

So this hole must be blocked by Wu Jianye!

As for the appointment of Huang Jianxin as the general manager of the domestic Fengge theater chain, Wu Jianye had already told Huang Jianxin during the preparation stage, and Huang Jianxin was in charge of the establishment of the entire theater chain. No one was more suitable for this position than him.

"Director Wu, don't worry, I will take good care of the theater!" Huang Jianxin just won a reward of 20 yuan, so he is naturally very excited now.

Wu Jianye nodded and said: "There is one more thing, that is, although the new theater chain has been established, the audience may not be able to return to the theater. We must find a way to bring the lost audience back to the theater chain. Come!"

Even if the newly built theaters are very different from the current domestic theaters, it is still very difficult to change some people's inherent habits.

Huang Jianxin knew that Wu Jianye must have his own way to say this, so he sat there and listened carefully to Wu Jianye's next plan.

""The World of Chu Xing" will be released soon, and I plan to make this movie the first movie to be screened in domestic Fengge theaters!" Wu Jianye said first.

Regarding this decision, Huang Jianxin has no objection. Now the director with the most box office appeal in China is Wu Jianye, and it is well-deserved that his film is the first film released by domestic Fengge theaters!

But Huang Jianxin knew that Wu Jianye's plan would definitely not be so simple.

Sure enough, Wu Jianye then told Huang Jianxin about his specific plan. After Huang Jianxin finished listening, he couldn't help but look at Wu Jianye in surprise: "Director Wu, isn't this kind of investment too big? If you follow your plan like this If you do it, you have to invest at least 500 million!"

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "We have already given out 15 billion, so why worry about 500 million? And 500 million is not enough."

When Huang Jianxin heard it, it was indeed the truth.

"Then this plan, shouldn't we coordinate it with the release time of the movie "Chu Xing's World"?"

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Yes, I have decided to release the movie "The World of Chu Xing" at 08:30 on September [-]th this year. Can not finish it?"

Now it has entered September, and there are only more than 20 days left before the end of the month. For the newly established domestic Fengge theater chain, it is indeed a comparison to make all the publicity plans in place within 20 days. difficult things.

Huang Jianxin said with a smile: "Director Wu, don't worry, during this period of time our people have been learning not only from the people in the Xiangjiang head office in the publicity of ordinary staff, but also in the publicity methods from them. questionable!"

Wu Jianye nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you guys!"

Afterwards, Huang Jianxin discussed with Wu Jianye about the promotional methods of "The World of Chu Xing" in China.

But this time to promote the new theater chain in China and let the lost audience return to the theater chain, it is a unified action with "The World of Chu Xing", so many things can be done together!
After Huang Jianxin left Wu Jianye's office, Jiang Zhiqiang also called.

It was also to discuss with Wu Jianye about the release of the movie "The World of Chu Xing" in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia.

"Director Wu, will you come to Xiangjiang's premiere this time?" This is what Jiang Zhiqiang is most concerned about.

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "The release of "The World of Chu Xing" in China is more important. I will go to Xiangjiang to hold a meeting after attending the premiere ceremony in China!"

The movie "The World of Chu Xing" can be said to carry a lot of things about Wu Jianye. First of all, the first task of this movie is to bring the lost audience back to the cinema.

No matter how tempting the plan Wu Jianye and Huang Jianxin talked about before, movies are still the most fundamental thing. If a movie can't attract people in terms of plot, then the box office success will only become a shooting star.

Only when a steady stream of good movies appear in the cinema can the audience really stick.

"Have you selected all the movies that will be released in domestic theaters?" Wu Jianye asked.

At present, there is a lack of real movies with box office appeal in China, so we can only choose Xiangjiang movies in the early stage, which is also a helpless move.

Jiang Zhiqiang said: "Now I have selected several films, including the premiere of "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier" starring Zhou Xingchi, "Peerless Two Pride" starring Liu Dehua, and "Legend of God of War" three films , and Li Lianjie's "Huang Feihong 2 Men Should Be Self-Reliant", Cheng Long's "Police Story 3 Super Cop" these five movies!"

At this time, Wu Jianye really admired Xiangjiang's filming efficiency, especially Zhou Xingchi. After nearly four months of delay in filming "The World of Chu Xing", he still sent out nearly five films this year. come out.

As for Liu Dehua at this time, he is also a well-known model worker in Xiangjiang. In another time and space, everyone knows that Zhou Xingchi participated in six movies this year: "The Judge of the Dead", "Happy Events in the Family", "The Deer and Ding Tale 1, 2", "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Beggar", "Play Back To School 2", but in fact this year Liu Dehua also starred in "Peerless Twins", "Casino Tycoon 1, 2", "Boy Boy: The True and False Dragon", "Dragon World", "Twelve Young Masters on Temple Street", "Legend of God of War", "Wow!Heroes", "Ninety-two Divine Condor: The Long Sword of Infatuation", nine movies!

What is the concept of the nine films? Even if one or two of them were filmed last year, it still shocks the speed of filming.
The few movies Jiang Zhiqiang mentioned, among them "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier", "Peerless Twins", "Huang Feihong 2 Men's Great Self-improvement" were all produced by Fengge Films, and the others were produced by Fengge Films. There are "Legend of God of War" invested by Liu Dehua's Tianmu Film Company and "Police Story 3 Super Cop" invested by Golden Harvest!
With these five movies, it is enough to digest the current domestic Fengge theaters!
"Have you finished contacting Radio and Television?" Wu Jianye asked.

Jiang Zhiqiang said: "The script has already been submitted to the radio and television station. As for the two films "Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong" and "Police Story 2 Super Cop" that have already been released, the radio and television station has also completed the review. There is no problem!"

Wu Jianye nodded, although now because of his relationship, Radio and Television will give the green light to the movies sent by Fengge Media.

But Wu Jianye never thought of relying on this to keep taking advantage. It may be nothing now, but if this kind of thing is done for a long time, it will definitely be remembered by the other party.

Wu Jianye would never do such a thing.

"Well, the films submitted for review in the future must also follow this standard. Some films that do not meet the domestic conditions should not be submitted. Even if the radio and television side agrees, they will face a major rectification, and instead lose the charm of the film itself!"

Wu Jianye exhorted.

Only Wu Jianye can say this kind of thing. If it is an ordinary film company, even if it is rectified, it will find a way to release it in China.

After all, although the current domestic market cannot be compared with the big box office countries of later generations, everyone can see that if Wu Jianye's current plan is followed, the domestic film market will rise sooner or later, and everyone wants to be able to come in in time at this time Take a share!

In fact, many film companies did this in later generations.

The most famous of these is "HEI Society" invested by Huaxia Star and filmed by Yinhe Image!

For the first part of this movie, in order to be released in China, Du Dapao had to modify the ending, even the name of the movie was changed to "Dragon City Years".

The plot inside has been changed even more to pieces. Jimmy Zai, played by President Gu, was changed into a police undercover agent, and Ale, played by Ren Dahua, also killed the big D. The Xiangjiang police appeared and took the He took it away, the wax lit by Jimmy Boy played by President Gu
This also led to the fact that the second film was not released in China.

Also having the same fate is "The Big Guy" starring Liu Dehua. When it was released in China, it was changed to "The Big Guy Has Great Wisdom".

This movie won the Best Actor Award at the 23rd Film Awards for Liu Dehua that year, but when it was released in China, it was sprayed by Galaxy fans and Liu Dehua's fans.
All because of the appearance of the mysterious scissorhands in China
Jiang Zhiqiang said: "I understand, I will take care of it!"

At this time, Fengge Films is actually exercising the audit work of Xiangjiang’s films sent to the mainland for release. There is no way that there is only Fengge Cinemas in the country. There are two ways, one is to make a joint venture with a domestic film studio, and the other is to submit it for review as an independent Hong Kong film, but the distribution must be handed over to a domestic distribution company. Instead, it is better to cooperate with Fengge Cinemas. Happy, after all, everyone knows the operation of domestic distribution companies.
As for the release of the movie "The World of Chu Xing" in European and American countries, after Wu Jianye's comprehensive consideration, he finally decided to cancel the idea of ​​simultaneous global release. Because this movie is a purely Chinese movie, it has a box office in Europe and the United States. The only one who appealed was Wu Jianye.

Whether it is Zhou Xingchi, or He Qing, who has entered the field of vision of European and American audiences with "New Dragon Inn", there is no way to compare with Wu Jianye in this respect!

Therefore, Wu Jianye has to go to Europe and the United States to promote in person in order to maximize the benefits of this movie!

Although Wu Jianye didn't want to admit it, the fact is that Europe, America and other countries are now the real box office powerhouses.
