Taiping Theater is a three-story building. From Defu Road west, passing through a corridor, passing through a small open-air courtyard, you will reach the ticket hall, and passing through the ticket hall and going up a few steps to the main entrance hall of the theater.
Although this Taiping Theater has been closed, Yuan Bifu still asks people to clean it regularly, and sometimes takes on some concert business.
Kang Jianfei pushed the door and reached out to touch the wall, but it was not as dust as he imagined.
Walk a few more steps and enter the theater. The quaint and atmospheric theater decoration made Kang Jianfei sigh.
Unlike modern luxury cinemas, Taiping Cinema has a very ancient style of luxury decoration, making people feel like they were in a theater a hundred years ago.
Kang Jianfei looked up and saw a high couplet on the pillar of the cinema. The book said: The ancient clothes and clothes made false love and true love can be used as a punishment for people. The singing and dancing on the platform said that the music is high and the music is nothing but a shock to the common people's experiences.
Jiang Zhiqiang, who was following Kang Jianfei, touched the seats of the theater and couldn't help but sigh: If he could own such a theater, this life would be enough!
Kang Jianfei joked: Brother Jiang likes Taiping Theater so much, so why don’t you be the theater manager.
I was not available, Jiang Zhiqiang waved his hands repeatedly, and he said, "A theater of such a large one is hundreds of times more difficult to operate than a small theater."Fortunately, you bought all the land in the theater. If you rented this theater to operate it, I can't guarantee that you can earn back the rent.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: It seems that it is not easy to look at Daheng Shao. He has been operating the Li stage for so many years before he let go.
The luxury theater, which is as famous as Taiping Cinema, has been rented to Run Run Shaw for more than ten years and is a cinema under Shaw Cinema.
It was not until the Shaw's films were not good in the past two years that Run Run Shaw gave up renting the stage, otherwise he would have been unable to bear the daily rent.
Jiang Zhiqiang walked and watched the theater's furnishings and said: More than ten years ago, I was only 10 years old at that time. At that time, the Li Stage and Taiping Theater were full of every room.There are more than 180 theaters in Hong Kong, which is twice the number of theaters now.Unfortunately, the economy was in a downturn, especially after the stock market crash, most of the theaters closed down.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Judging from the current economic development speed of Hong Kong, the number of cinemas in Hong Kong may reach another peak in a few years.
Jiang Zhiqiang curled his lips and said: The premise is that the People's Liberation Army will not fight.
Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: Are you worried about this too?
Jiang Zhiqiang sighed and said: How can you not worry?If it weren't for not being reluctant to part with the cinemas passed down by my father, my brother and I would have immigrated long ago, so that we would not have to stay in Hong Kong all day and worry about fighting.
Kang Jianfei was silent for a moment. Even people like Jiang Zhiqiang who were in his teens who had traveled to Europe and the United States and had a broad vision thought so. It seems that the impact of the Sino-British negotiations on Hong Kong people was far beyond his imagination.
It’s fine for ordinary citizens, especially those with industries and status in Hong Kong. This type of people are even more worried about gains and losses, afraid of losing everything overnight, and are anxious to sell their industries at a low price and run away overseas.
The two walked from the first floor to the second floor of the theater, and looked even more spectacular from here.We arrived at the third floor, and the seats on this floor were welded by iron bars. I heard that it was to deal with the rampant psyllia that were in the past.
Kang Jianfei sat on it and felt it a little hurt. He said: The seat on the third floor needs to be changed again.
Jiang Zhiqiang said: The theater manager has found a name for you, named Zhang Moren, who is my father’s former friend and is over fifty years old.He once opened several small cinemas, and he was Hu Yixing's apprentice and helped Hu Yixing run the Liyuan Amusement Park.
Oh, that's a character, why don't you have your own business now?Kang Jianfei asked.
Jiang Zhiqiang explained: You may not believe it. A few years ago, he spent most of his life savings and bought a piece of land to build a large theater in the Shanghuan River. What happened to him?
Kang Jianfei said: Is there a fire in the theater?
Jiang Zhiqiang shook his head and said: The theater is haunted!
Haunted?Kang Jianfei was quite surprised by this answer.
Jiang Zhiqiang sighed: It's just a haunted person.Originally, the theater was located in a good location and the business was also very good.As a result, one day it was reported that the theater was haunted, and more and more people said that they saw ghosts in the theater. What happened was that an audience member died of a myocardial infarction while watching a movie. It was reported that they were killed by ghosts.Do you think this theater can still be opened?
It can definitely be opened in mainland China, but it will definitely not be able to continue in Hong Kong.
Kang Jianfei sympathized with her: This old man is also unlucky enough.
Jiang Zhiqiang said: The theater spent all his money and also borrowed money from the bank. In the end, he lost all the small theaters he had run before.
Tell him to go to DreamWorks to find me tomorrow.
Kang Jianfei said that he asked Jiang Zhiqiang to come out today because he wanted him to help find a reliable theater manager.
For a luxurious theater like Taiping Theater, people who don’t have some skills are not good at all, otherwise Yuan Bifu would not have preferred to close his business than open the door to do business, because she loses money every day when she runs it.
……
A thin and thin old man walked into DreamWorks. He was wearing a white-washed blue suit and his silver hair was neatly combed.
Although his body is a little hunched, it does not give people the impression of being old and he is very energetic when walking.
Many DreamWorks employees looked at him curiously, wanting to know who this strange old man was.
Hello, sir, who are you looking for?
Li Shan asked with a folder on her back.
She starred in "Happy Ghost" with Wen Bixia and Li Saifeng, and later joined DreamWorks as a clerk. Now she has become a small manager and has five employees under her control.
The old man said clearly: I am Zhang Mo, and I made an appointment with Mr. Kang Jianfei.
You look for boss Ah, I'll take you there, Li Shan smiled and said, "This is the secretary department, and the boss's office is there."
Zhang Moren followed Li Shan all the way, and after meeting Chen Shuli, he was invited into Kang Jianfei's office.
Mr. Zhang, please sit down!Kang Jianfei smiled.
Zhang Moren was not polite either. He sat down with a golden sword and crossed his legs to drink the oolong tea brought by Chen Shuli.
Jiang Zhiqiang didn't say it very clearly yesterday. After talking to Zhang Moren, Kang Jianfei realized that the old man's experience was not simple either.
Zhang Moren's original name was Zhang Si. He was originally a slave to the traitor Zhang Shankun. When he was in his teens, he followed Zhang Shankun to make movies in Shanghai. Zhang Shankun was the name Zhang Moren who helped him get it.
Zhang Shankun is a film genius of a generation. Although he is a traitor on his head, he cannot deny his contribution to Chinese-language films.
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the situation at that time was a battle for hegemony among the princes, and the three most powerful film companies were all founded by Zhang Shankun.
Unfortunately, this person has a bad reputation (a traitor). He had to let others be the boss of the company he opened. As a result, the company was kicked aside as soon as it developed.
The current famous Great Wall Film Company is actually the real founder of Zhang Shankun. Later, after a series of reorganizations, it became a left-wing company.
Zhang Moren followed Zhang Shankun to do things in six film companies including Huaying, Zhonglian, and Great Wall. Later, he was responsible for managing theaters and worked with Run Run Shaw, Lu Yuntao and others.
As for what happened later, Jiang Zhiqiang has already said that this person lost all his savings because the theater was haunted and now manages a neighboring cinema.
Kang Jianfei did not doubt Zhang Moren's ability as a character who had been in the Hong Kong film industry for decades. He asked a few questions casually, and Kang Jianfei couldn't understand some professional answers.
As for Zhang Moren who had been a traitor before, Kang Jianfei was too lazy to ask about this matter.
Not only did Kang Jianfei not dislike him, he valued his point very much.
The reason why Zhang Moren was able to follow Zhang Shankun for so many years, and even followed the traitor after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War means that this person will not betray the master and there is no need to worry that he will betray him.
Kang Jianfei said: I now have the Taiping Cinema in West Ring, the Queen Cinema in Central Ring, and the Yau Ma Tei Cinema and Oriental Cinema in Kowloon. The latter two theaters may not be opened in a few months.Your task is to manage these four cinemas well, and you will find a manager for the Taiping Cinema yourself.Do you understand this?
Zhang Moren nodded and said: I understand.
Kang Jianfei said: All four theaters will join the New Era theater, among which Taiping Cinema and Queen Cinema can be used as leading theaters to make up for the shortcomings of its large theaters under the New Era.The new era theater chain is a temporary theater chain. If you don’t understand the specific operating rules, you can ask Jiang Zhiqiang.
no problem.Zhang Moren said confidently.
Kang Jianfei said: I won’t give you a fixed salary, your income is 2% of the pure profits of the four theaters.If the theater loses, then sorry, you don’t have a penny salary.What do you think of this?
Zhang Moren blew a mouthful of tea and smiled and said: Then I will take advantage of the boss, and 2% of the theater makes a lot of profit.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: It’s pure profit, not gross profit. Don’t listen to it wrong.
Don't worry, boss, old man, I haven't carried my ears yet.Zhang Moren said with a smile.
This is the first time Kang Jianfei was called a boss. He felt like he had become a landlord in the old society, which was more interesting than being called a boss.
Kang Jianfei said: Then that's it. The four theaters will be left to you to take care of. You can make an idea of who to recruit.I will go to Taiwan and the United States during this period. When I come back, I hope everything is going well in the theater.
Tomorrow is the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, Kang Jian flew over and take a look.
As for going to the United States, it was because he spent too much money recently. He planned to make some American money by filming an American movie, otherwise he would be dying of poverty. Now he still owes more than 100 million yuan in loans from the bank.
Although this Taiping Theater has been closed, Yuan Bifu still asks people to clean it regularly, and sometimes takes on some concert business.
Kang Jianfei pushed the door and reached out to touch the wall, but it was not as dust as he imagined.
