Coquettish Rebirth

"What, the old theater? We hear a lot of this in Shanghai? As far as I remember, there are Lyceum Grand Theater, Da Guangming and so on.*" Cheng Yu, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, thought about it, and said to Jia Hong on the other end of the phone. gradually said.It turned out that after Jia Hongjian planned to buy an old movie theater for renovation, he simply called Cheng Yu from the Municipal Party Committee to find out if there were any theaters or theaters in the city that were not doing well and were about to close down.

"Hehe, Secretary Cheng, I don't know if you can ask someone to check the operating conditions of these old theaters? I just want to build a world-class recording studio recently, and I don't have a place to do it. The old theater can be sold to me, and then we can pay a little money to resettle the workers..." Jia Hongjian suggested with a smile.

Cheng Yu knew that Jia Hongjian's idea was considered by the city government, because if there happened to be an old theater that was about to close due to poor management, then the resettlement work would naturally be done by the city.Even if the old theater were to be demolished, it would be nothing more than selling the land to a businessman after that.In the past 95 years, even the land in Shanghai is not worth much. The commercial housing has not been completely released, and the common people have no money, so the land is so cheap. Poor, but also save the demolition of the money too!

So Cheng Yu immediately found the person in charge of the cultural department in the city. He didn't know if he didn't ask, but he was shocked when he asked!It turns out that the old theaters and old theaters in Shanghai are basically in a state of long-term loss!Whether it is the Hengshan Cinema personally nominated by Marshal Chen Yi, who was the mayor of Shanghai when it was first liberated, or the Xinguang Cinema with a history of more than 70 years.Also poorly run!In the 2030s, when Shanghai was the Paris of the East, there were so many theaters!It is said that there were 20 different cinemas on both sides of Nanling Road Pedestrian Street. *And basically they are still in the architectural style of the European Middle Ages!In the early days of liberation, along Nanling Road and Qingzang Middle Road as the central axis, a "golden cross" pattern of the old Shanghai Theater in the most prosperous area of ​​the city center was directly formed.This pattern is comparable to that of Broadway in the United States!But unfortunately, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially in the 1990s, due to the gradual depression of the performance market, these theaters were largely idle. Now, several of these old movie theaters are ready to be converted into small museums or simply leased or even demolished!

And the most well-known old stage in Shanghai - the "Civilized Stage" built in the first year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty has been closed for more than half a year!And now it seems that the city's cultural department is negotiating with a company in Hong Kong to demolish the old theater.Then cover it again!

"Isn't this nonsense?" Cheng Yu couldn't stand it now!He was born under the red flag and grew up under the red flag. He has nothing to miss about such old things. In his eyes, as long as they are suitable for development, old things can be dismantled.But the question is - take the old one apart and replace it with a new one?Is the new look about the same?Or is it when the old ones have no quality and safety problems?Isn't this a pain in the ass?Originally more than 90 years of construction!Even if there is no performance, it is fine to collect tickets as a museum!Removed a heavy cover?Who the hell came up with this idea?

You know, this "civilized stage" is quite historic - the brick and wood structure stage established in 1909 became one of the most famous theater stages in China at the earliest!And at that time, there was a three-story auditorium with brick and wood structure. More than 3 seats!Even today, that would be a big deal!For the first performance, Liu Yongchun, Lv Yueqiao, Zhao Ruquan, Shen Yunqiu and other famous Peking opera masters were invited. After the Revolution of 2800, they also rehearsed "Ezhou Blood" and "New Camellia". In the 16th year of the Republic of China, Jinrong became a shareholder Franchise.Also known as Rongji Grand Stage.In the 21st year of the Republic of China, the owner rebuilt the steel-concrete structure. The three-story auditorium has more than 2500 seats. It was completed in the 23rd year of the Republic of China. The gate was changed to Jiujiang Road. At the opening, Mei Lanfang, Ma Lianliang, Jin Shaoshan, Cheng Jixian, Ye Shenglan, Xiao Changhua, etc. were invited to premiere!In 50 years, because the boss owed debts, he abandoned the venue and ran away. Later, the Shanghai government paid for it and bought it from the creditors, so it was renamed the local state-owned "People's Grand Stage"!

"Have you signed the contract yet?" Cheng Yu frowned and asked, "Not yet..." "If you haven't, then stop it quickly! Who talked about this project? Seriously, isn't this nonsense? Torn it down and built it exactly the same The new one? Is this too much money and nowhere to spend it?" Cheng Yu criticized.In his opinion, if such an old theater is going to be demolished and built to be exactly the same, it might as well sell it to Huaxia Hi-Tech!At least Huaxia Hi-Tech would never waste things like this!At least it won't be dismantled and built exactly the same!

However, what he didn't expect was that when Jia Hongjian heard that he was going to sell such an almost 90-year-old building to them and transform it into a recording studio, he felt a little pity!Yes, such a commemorative venue, if the inside is demolished, you will never be able to see it again!If he was really allowed to tear it down, he, Jia Hongjian, would still feel a little bit like destroying cultural relics and historic sites by himself, isn't it true!

However, if he does not want this site, he will have to sell it to a Hong Kong businessman. After the sale, the other party will dismantle it, and then it is said that he will build an exactly the same thing. This seems to be a bit "I won't kill Boren, Boren died because of me" feeling?If it doesn't work, Huaxia Hi-Tech will pay more to demolish the old theater and build a new one?Wait, isn't this a prodigal like a Hong Kong businessman?of course not!Jia Hongjian said it was demolished, but it was not really demolished, but moved to another place!

The problem is, a house that has been built for 90 years!It is not a house built of building blocks, how can it be said that it can be moved to other places?Of course you can!And the United States has this kind of technology, or the risk of this kind of technology is not great, because China and even Shanghai itself will do this kind of thing in the next few years!In 2004, the Shanghai Concert Hall, a building built in the 30s, was too close to the lower gate of the elevated road, and the exit of the concert hall coincided with the sidewalk.Originally, if it was another building, it would be demolished, but this old building is too commemorative, so the city committee and government at that time decided to pay the city, and then lifted the building and moved it 66 meters away...

When Jia Hongjian tried to tell Cheng Yu this idea, Cheng Yu was dumbfounded.I just heard Jia Hongjian say: "Secretary, I am going to do this - lift up the old theater, and then move this concert hall away at night when there are fewer people and cars, and then we will build a new one on the spot." Things with exactly the same appearance..." At that time, after listening to Jia Hongjian's words, Cheng Yu suddenly had an impulse, he wanted to ask Jia Hongjian very much——Aren't you sent by my enemy to play with me?This Cheng Yu decided to sell the old building to Jia Hongjian because the Hong Kong businessman wanted to demolish the old building and build a new one that was exactly the same. Who knew that Jia Hongjian wanted to remove the old building and build an identical one of!You burned it with too much money?There's so much money to burn, give me some and I'll burn it for you, okay?Really!

However, it was impossible for Cheng Yu to really talk to Jia Hongjian like this. After trying his best to control his emotions, he said, "Hongjian...isn't this too troublesome? And the building is not easy to move?" Who knew Jia Hung-chien replied indifferently: "No, it's easy to move horizontally. First, dig down along the edge of the building, find the foundation and break it, and then use many hydraulic jacks to lift the building in balance. The house is lowered to make a large platform, this platform is made of cement, for example, and then a moving slideway is placed underneath, and some jacks are used to push the platform horizontally, and the platform can be moved and pulled!"

Cheng Yu was dumbfounded at this moment!He never thought that there would be such a technology in the world before!But why does it sound so much like that? "How do you know so clearly?" "Well... I thought I should do it this way if I want to do it?" Jia Hongjian couldn't say that it was when he watched a TV program on the Internet in his previous life saying that some people in the United States moved. I was reluctant to part with the old house, so I saw it when I moved the old house as a whole?And when the Shanghai Concert Hall moved, it basically did the same thing!

"But...but..." Cheng Yu didn't know why he called a character who seemed to be hindering Jia Hongjian, "but where are you going to move? The most you can do is tens of meters or hundreds of meters? Do you want to move a few blocks? Or a few districts and counties?"

Hmm, does that seem like a problem?However, Jia Hongjian thought about it for about two seconds before deciding on this issue, which is actually not a problem—"This building itself is not far from the Bund and the Huangpu River, only one kilometer away, and we can move it to the edge of the Huangpu River , then get on a freighter, and finally be transported to another district?" Jia Hongjian happily thought of an ending plan.

Hearing this plan, Cheng Yu really wanted to bang his head against the wall at that time!You must know that when most people encounter this kind of problem, they will consider how much it will cost to complete it. Most of the time, the problem of money is the biggest problem!But the unfortunate thing is that Jia Hongjian's family has a lot of money and has no place to spend it!So in theory, Jia Hongjian could indeed do it when he was bored!It's no problem for him to spend tens of millions to move a building like this, as long as he finds it interesting and interesting, he can do it!This is... so speechless!
