In the manager's office of Taiping Theater, Kang Jianfei picked up a tea bowl as big as a wine glass, drank the kung fu tea made by Zhang Moren in one sip, and said with a smile: Lao Zhang, there are many people looking for you these days.
Zhang Moren slowly added tea to the tea set and said modestly: Isn’t it that I borrowed the boss’s power? As soon as the news that the boss’s re-running theater company spread, the theaters in the new era were already in chaos.
Jiang Zhiqiang, who was sitting next to him, sighed secretly. In addition to the movies released by DreamWorks, the theaters in the New Era also released many films from other small companies.
According to normal circumstances, even without DreamWorks, the film sources of theaters in the new era are enough to be fed and fed.
But when Kang Jianfei proposed to create a new era theater, he had already left a hand, that is, all movies released in the new era theater must be distributed by DreamWorks.
In other words, Kang Jianfei seemed to have not controlled the new era theater chain at the beginning, but instead asked Jiang Zhiqiang to be the general manager of the theater chain, but it has always been stuck in the new era theater chain.
As long as Kang Jianfei terminates cooperation with the New Era theater chain, the new era will face a situation where there is no film to be released.
Of course, the theater chain in the new era can also bypass DreamWorks and cooperate directly with the producers of those movies, but I am afraid that it can only attract some bad movies and works from small companies.
The quality of these videos is of varying quality, and there are very few that can sell well for box office, and there is no preferential attendance offer provided by DreamWorks, so the screening risks of hospitals and merchants, and sometimes they may have to pay a little.
In addition to the four theaters of Anle Film, the other 15 theaters require joining Oriental Cinemas.
Jiang Zhiwen was flipping through the information about those theaters. Now our theaters are not too short. I directly ruled out the four worst locations and equipment.The remaining 11 theaters, plus Mr. Kang’s 9 theaters, the new Oriental Cinema Company has 20 theaters.
Kang Jianfei did not go to see the information about the theater, but flipped through the map of Hong Kong that marked the location of the theater.
The upcoming Oriental Cinema (also known as Taiping Cinema), its theaters are mainly distributed in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Among them, there are 10 small Hong Kong Island, 7 in Kowloon, and the remaining ones are 2 in the New Territories and 1 in Lamma Island.
Especially the three theaters in New Territories and Lamma Island are all the useless food and a pity to abandon.
These theaters are not well located, have few seats, and have low ticket prices, and the box office revenues in the off-season of the movie are extremely unstable, but their attendance rates are surprisingly high in good schedules.
Zhang Moren suggested: I think it is better to be a second-round theater in the New Territories and Lamma Island. It is too wasteful to make the first-round theater. It is enough to have 17 theaters in Oriental Cinema.
Jiang Zhiqiang disagreed and argued: Although these three theaters have fewer customers and low ticket prices, they are all theaters with monopoly status in the local area. As long as there is a movie audience, they will spend money to buy tickets in these three theaters.
Zhang Moren drank tea and said: I didn't say I'd give up, but just let these three theaters show the second round.
Jiang Zhiqiang said: I mean, in the long run, the Hong Kong government is building new towns in recent years, and the New Territories and Lamma Island will sooner or later develop.If Oriental Cinema can establish a stronghold in advance, these areas can be included in the future.
The Sino-British negotiations are not over yet. The two broken places, New Territories and Lamma Island, know when they will develop. Zhang Moren said in a strange voice. Besides, even if you want to expand theaters, you can wait until these regions develop.
Jiang Zhiqiang shook his head and said: It will be too late. Judging from my years of experience in Anle Cinema, many neighbors and neighbors have feelings for cinemas and will basically choose the theater they often go to to watch movies. Entering in advance can make the signs open.
Zhang Moren smiled and said: With the ticket price and customer sources of the country theater, they can't even afford the copy money for the first round of screening.
So DreamWorks will continue to give discounts to these three theaters. Jiang Zhiqiang said that as long as the copy rent is reduced by 50%, there will be profits in the theater, and DreamWorks will also make money. This is a win-win cooperation.
Zhang Moren laughed and said: That would be better than making a lot of money from the second round of screening.
Seeing that the two of them had endless debates, Kang Jianfei thought for a moment and said with a final say: The box office of rural theaters is still very high during holidays, and the attendance rate is a bit dangerous in normal times.Let’s do this. During the good seasons such as summer, Spring Festival, and Christmas, you can join hands with those three theaters to perform the first round of screenings, and it will be used as a second round of theaters during the off-season of the movie.
Kang Jianfei's idea is a mixed bag, and his cooperation method is flexible and avoids business risks. It is a special temporary theater plan.
Since Kang Jianfei, the big financial advisor, naturally, Zhang Moren and Jiang Zhiqiang couldn't say anything else.
……
With the decline in attendance of "Terminator", only six theaters are still being screened, replaced by an independent film company.
As for the bosses who were selected by Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Moren and were about to join Oriental Theater, they were invited by Kang Jianfei.
...This is the situation. Everyone has three choices: one is to sell the theater you have to me, the other is to join the Oriental Cinema Company as a shareholder, and the third is that everyone goes their own way. Kang Jianfei smiled and looked at the boss of the Bajian Theater and said, "You can think about it carefully. I will hold a press conference on February 20, hoping to hear everyone's reply before this."
For the owners of these theaters, theaters will definitely not be sold. The Hong Kong film market is now on the rise, and as long as there is enough film source, you will not have to worry about not being able to make money.
The eight bosses invited by Kang Jianfei all chose to cooperate with DreamWorks and join Oriental Cinema Company as shareholders.
However, there were great differences between the two parties in the distribution of shares.
Kang Jianfei said with a serious expression: I have 80% of the shares of the theater company, and you can allocate the rest yourself. This is beyond doubt.
The boss of Lianhe Theater couldn't help but say: Mr. Kang, you only own 9 of the 17 theaters. Isn't it too much to ask for 80% of the shares?
It's Ah, your 9 theaters need 80% of the shares, and our remaining 8 can only share 20%. If you eat meat, you don't leave a bowl of soup for us.
I think you, Mr. Kang, account for 60%.
It is better to calculate the previous box office revenue of each theater and distribute the equity of the theater in proportion.
……
The conference room was suddenly in full swing, and the bosses of the eight theaters spoke one after another, but they did not agree with Kang Jianfei's equity distribution method.
Kang Jianfei sat there without saying a word, waiting for more than ten minutes, and finally the people calmed down. Kang Jianfei sneered: I said, you can choose to leave, since you stay, you can't bargain.
Kang Jianfei's attitude was so firm that the eight theater owners looked at each other, but none of them left.
When Princess Jin Cinema was first established, the equity distribution of Lei Juekun, Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong was determined based on the number of theaters, because Princess Jin was just a simple theater businessman at that time, and Lei Juekun did not invest in any satellite film company.
But this time, Oriental Cinema Company cannot allocate equity like this, otherwise Kang Jianfei will suffer a loss. The reason is that DreamWorks can provide stable film sources for theaters.
With DreamWorks as a backing, Kang Jianfei had enough confidence to say to the hospital merchants: I love to play, get out if I don’t play!
In fact, Kang Jianfei did not bully people too much, because in the distribution of movie box office, there is a need to redistribute between theaters and theaters.
For example, a movie won a box office of 30 million after being released on Oriental Theater, after deducting taxes, theaters and theaters can get a box office of 40% to 60%.
We will temporarily count these sharing as 15 million, of which more than 90% (i.e. 13.5 million) are divided by the theater, and only 10% (i.e. 1.5 million) are the income of the theater company.
(In the 1980s, the theater chain in Hong Kong was relatively strong. For example, mainland theater chain companies 30 years later, the better ones could get 5% of the box office, and the worse ones could even get 1% of the box office.)
In other words, no matter how much shares Kang Jianfei holds in theater companies, it will not affect the profits of joining theaters. These franchise merchants only make a little less profit.
I still like to play, don’t play!
Faced with Kang Jianfei's strength, the bosses of the hospital business could only agree. In fact, even if Kang Jianfei only leaves them 10% of the theater company shares, they would still agree.
Because as long as you cooperate with DreamWorks, you won’t have to worry about high-quality film sources, and it doesn’t matter if the little money the theater company has completely abandoned.
Very good, then that's it. Kang Jianfei Chong Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and said, General Manager Jiang will arrange a press conference on the 20th and set the company's opening screening meeting.
The online screening is scheduled to be held on the 20th, so as not to invite those reporters twice.
Jiang Zhiqiang said that he will be the general manager of Oriental Cinemas Company. Not only will the general manager have a high salary every month, but he will also have a 10% profit in the dry stock market, and he will earn at least 600,000 yuan in a year.
If you encounter several super hit movies, Jiang Zhiqiang's annual income is likely to exceed 1 million, which is more than he earns in his family theaters.
Kang Jianfei said to everyone here: The opening work of Oriental Cinema is "Cannot Stop Love" directed by McDonald and starring Leslie Cheung, Wen Bixia and Li Lizhen.DreamWorks will start publicity tomorrow, and major theaters will cooperate to strive to make a big box office success by opening the line.
On February 15, 1984, major media in Hong Kong received an invitation letter to press conference, and the invitation party was actually Jiang Zhiwen, general manager of Oriental Cinemas.
The new Oriental Cinema has already shocked the Hong Kong film industry before the new Oriental Cinema has opened to screen movies. It is because Kang Jianfei, a fast-rise film tycoon, finally set up his own theater chain.
Zhang Moren slowly added tea to the tea set and said modestly: Isn’t it that I borrowed the boss’s power? As soon as the news that the boss’s re-running theater company spread, the theaters in the new era were already in chaos.
Jiang Zhiqiang, who was sitting next to him, sighed secretly. In addition to the movies released by DreamWorks, the theaters in the New Era also released many films from other small companies.
