Chapter 401 The DreamWorks Cinema Line

While Zou Wenhuai was thinking hard, his long-awaited right-hand man He Guanchang finally arrived and brought the latest news he had learned about DreamWorks' plan to build a theater chain.

"Tang Huan has already trained the acquired Jardines and Land to be docile. Not only did the unconvinced British have no chance to make trouble, they were also suppressed by another group of British led by Newbijian. superior."

Speaking of this, He Guanchang shook his head in dismay, "It's too easy for such a powerful landlord in Xiangjiang to set aside some properties to build a theater. Although I don't know the details yet, just releasing this Intention is enough."

"It will take more time to build from scratch, and it may not be cost-effective in terms of cost. Tang Huan, who has strong financial resources, cannot take the shortcut of acquisition." Zou Wenhuai asked deeply, "How do I hear that the Huo family intends to Jointly build theaters with Tang Huan?"

"The news has been distorted. The Huo family just clarified that they intend to transfer the management rights of Xinguang Theater to Tang Huan." He Guanchang waved his hand and said with a smile: "I guess the Huo family discovered that this Xinguang Theater is not fully commercialized. , so he almost lost money and yelled, even if he didn't care about the loss, he couldn't afford to worry about it, so he retreated."

"This just shows that although DreamWorks' theater chain has not yet been established, its digestion capacity is amazing." Zou Wenhuai looked worried, "Xiangjiang is such a big place, and there are already several large-scale theater chains. , if the big crocodile Tang Huan squeezes in again, it will inevitably bring greater operating pressure."

"Perhaps, we can think about it." He Guanchang also showed a helpless look, "First of all, those small fish are unlucky, and the Golden Harvest Cinemas, which have a deep foundation, are not so easy to handle."

"Then watch as you walk." Zou Wenhuai nodded slightly, and then warned, "You have to watch Aaron closely, I find that he seems to be very preoccupied recently."

"Don't worry, he can't run away." He Guanchang laughed, "Aaron felt the pressure from Li Lianjie, the protagonist of "Fang Shiyu". After all, his style can indeed establish a school of his own."

"Tell me, can we poach Li Lianjie here?" Zou Wenhuai, with twinkling eyes, made a gesture.

Upon hearing this, He Guanchang quickly persuaded Zou Wenhuai to give up this idea, "We should not touch this tiger's butt anymore. For a long time, Tang Huan did not focus on DreamWorks, and Hu Yin, as an agent, Meng, although she is a talented woman, has a lot of talent, but her management style has always been very friendly, unlike Lei Juekun of Golden Princess Entertainment, who used all means to steal 200 million yuan and poach Xu Guanjie away from us. gone."

Observing Zou Wenhuai's expression, He Guanchang continued, "It's hard to predict whether the poaching of Li Lianjie will be successful, but it is likely that Hu Yinmeng was annoyed, and then Tang Huan was moved out. This person is desperate and chasing after Jardine. They hit hard, so I have to guard against it."

"Perhaps, the delicate balance now is the most suitable one, which is good for all parties." Zou Wenhuai sighed, "I remember when I was young, like Shao Lao Liu, I was used to knocking out all competitors and eating alone. To tease Tang Huan into such an idea, with his financial resources, is really a trouble."

"Actually, Shao Laoliu's management style is also quietly changing. The tricky relationship between TVB and the old rival Media Asia TV makes me think that outsiders are idiots. I can't tell how long the two TV stations have not been on TV drama gold." After that, did you fight like you used to with Li's TV?"

He Guanchang had a mocking look on his face, "That's all. The ace dramas of the two TV stations are almost always on staggered schedules, and the advertising prices also increase at the same time. How can there be so many coincidences? If there is no inside story, who will Will you believe it?"

"Perhaps my mentality has changed as I get older." Zou Wenhuai showed nostalgia, "If I remember correctly, Shao Lao Liu is 20 years older than me. I am 75 this year. I am 55. You 57, where is Tang Huan? Is he 30 years old this year?"

"Old age has its advantages, and we are more sophisticated in business." He Guanchang hurriedly changed the subject of this helpless and unsolvable topic, and said, "We still need to talk to Tang Huan about cooperating in Hollywood. Is it?"

"You should come out for an interview to find out the attitude of the other party." Zou Wenhuai replied after thinking for a while, "In case I come forward, and the other party's conditions are too harsh, there is no room for turning around."

The two were discussing things, and Liu Lianghua walked in excitedly, "I just learned something about the establishment of the DreamWorks theater circuit, do you want to listen?"

There is an interesting phenomenon in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry. In the early 1970s, Zou Wenhuai led his team to rebel against Shaw Brothers. After establishing his own company, he not only competed with Run Run Shaw in the film industry, but even competed with his confidante.

On Run Run Shaw's side was Fang Yihua, and on Zou Wenhuai's side was Liu Lianghua, who belonged to the same generation as Fang Yihua.

Of course, neither Liu Lianghua nor Fang Yihua is as strong as Hu Yinmeng.

The gap here is not only that Hu Yinmeng, who is less than 30 years old, is more prosperous, more famous, and more educated, but also because she has been authorized with more resources.

Fang Yihua is in Shaw Brothers and TVB, and Liu Lianghua is in Golden Harvest. They are indeed high and powerful, but Hu Yinmeng is actually the top leader in DreamWorks. Even the "Dream" in the name of DreamWorks is the "dream" in Hu Yinmeng's name , the meaning here is self-evident.

The relationship between men and women, which can be called the oldest social existence, is essentially a virtue, but after being dubbed a "confidante", it immediately becomes tall and is talked about by people.

Take Fang Yihua, Liu Lianghua, and Hu Yinmeng, the three legendary women in the current Hong Kong film and television industry, for example. When everyone pays attention, they have long forgotten to think about whether they are suitable or not, and they are replaced by envy and admiration.

Of course, three women who belong to different camps will not be divided into the same category because of boring public opinion, and they will meet each other and have a family relationship, not to mention that there are common situations where opposite poles attract and like poles repel each other. Sexuality is included.

"Where did you get the news?" Zou Wenhuai asked with great interest after hearing Liu Lianghua offer the treasure.

"It's at DreamWorks." Liu Lianghua replied with a smile. Seeing the surprised expressions on both Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang's faces, she continued to add: "You big men won't notice, Hu Yinmeng, Yu Zheng, Lin Yanni, Little girls like Shi Nansheng and Zhang Aijia have slowly created a women's salon, where they meet regularly at DreamWorks and discuss topics as advanced as men."

"It's not that you saw something interesting, so you added it to join in the fun." Zou Wenhuai laughed nonchalantly.

"I've said it all, this salon is very unusual." Feeling that he was underestimated, Liu Lianghua rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction, "Besides, Fang Yihua participated, how could I be left behind."

Of course, Zou Wenhuai didn't bother to continue arguing about this issue, and instead asked, "Could it be that at this party, the matter of DreamWorks' establishment of a cinema chain was brought up for discussion?"

"That's it." Liu Lianghua nodded, "This matter has been settled. Hu Yinmeng has Tang Huan's full support, but the specific operation is entrusted to Brother Jiang Zhiqiang. He will build, acquire, and join at the latest. It will be operational before Christmas this year."

"Wealth and wealth are decisive." He Guanchang sighed with emotion.

"Hu Yinmeng is suspected of showing off when he brings out these news." Zou Wenhuai joked.

"It was just a casual mention. The real purpose is to discuss the most appropriate way to build a cinema from a female perspective."

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Lianghua organized his words and continued: "For example, the supporting leisure facilities around the cinema, such as restaurants, casinos, and beauty salons."

"You women are really self-centered." Zou Wenhuai shook his head disapprovingly.

"The entire DreamWorks theater chain will be fully managed by computers, so we can plan more detailed movie tickets. In addition to ordinary tickets, student tickets, and membership tickets, there will be more special discounts." Liu Lianghua looked at it. Zou Wenhuai smiled slightly, "Just for the membership card, there are endless tricks to talk about. I'd better save my energy and not talk about it."

"Don't be too troublesome, let's talk about it." Zou Wenhuai frowned, "You guys have a good discussion."

"Then I'll just talk about a few things." Liu Lianghua nodded, "For example, car storage services, discounts for purchasing tickets more than 20 hours in advance, discounts on literary and artistic films, discounts on second viewing of artistic films, discount days for men, and discounts for women Wait a day."

Hearing this, Zou Wenhuai took a deep breath, "Let's not talk about whether these ideas are feasible, just these results, ordinary people really may not be able to discuss them, your party is very high-standard."

"Convince me." Liu Lianghua smiled triumphantly, "Do you still want to listen to the idea of ​​dividing halls, middle halls, and small halls in movie theaters?"

Zou Wenhuai waved his hand, "I admit that this women's salon is not a general gathering to discuss topics such as beauty, it is indeed of a high standard."

He Guanchang joked from the side: "Bringing the energies of these women together, the effect that can be exerted is definitely very impressive."

"How could it be so monolithic, without contradictions." Liu Lianghua smiled meaningfully, "For example, at this party, Hu Yinmeng and Fang Yihua had another dispute. Each of the participants in the contest was stopped by Fang Yihua before she could get a result, so there is a lot of fun in it."

……

In fact, just as Liu Lianghua said, Fang Yihua's wariness against Hu Yinmeng really reached the point of being on guard. When she found out that the other party was targeting Miss Hong Kong contestant Kuang Meiyun, as well as rookie singing contest contestant Mei Aifang, After Sister Anita Mui became interested, she immediately took decisive action.

The Miss Hong Kong contest that has been held for many years and the upcoming rookie singing competition are all the cradle of star-making for TVB. How can I let a girl like you take advantage of it?

Especially after seeing Kuang Meiyun, Mei Aifang, and Anita Mui with her own eyes, and discovering that the three are of excellent quality, Fang Yihua felt that she had dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of Hu Yinmeng, an old opponent.

There is another place that makes Hu Yinmeng feel deflated, and Fang Yihua is secretly happy, that is the cooperation between TVB and Deng Lijun.

As early as 1981, when Deng Lijun released her first Cantonese album "Incompatibility", because she sang the theme song for a TVB TV series, the two parties had a good foundation for cooperation.

Fang Yihua believed that Deng Lijun would definitely still maintain a relationship with Tang Huan, so after Tang Huan successfully bought Li TV and the rapid rise of DreamWorks, she did not expect TVB to continue to cooperate with Deng Lijun, after all, she had her own The platform is easier to use, isn't it?

But what Fang Yihua never expected was that when she tried to contact Deng Lijun for cooperation, the other party agreed very readily.

Fang Yihua, who was deeply surprised, slowly figured out the mystery after being overjoyed.

Deng Lijun is related to Tang Huan, but Hu Yinmeng and Tang Huan are not related?The word "dream" in the name of DreamWorks has deeply imprinted Hu Yinmeng.

In other words, DreamWorks belongs exclusively to Hu Yinmeng's sphere of influence, and Deng Lijun is of course unwilling to go to the other party's territory for activities, because "the king does not see the king".

Regarding Deng Lijun's choice, Hu Yinmeng definitely has nothing to do.Expanding from this, Fang Yihua seems to have discovered the latest effective means to deal with Hu Yinmeng and DreamWorks.

After seeing Run Run Shaw, Fang Yihua reported on the collected information about the DreamWorks theaters.

She was about to turn to talk about the upcoming Miss Xiangjiang election, when Run Run Shaw said slowly, "Take a chance to test it out and see if Tang Huan is interested in Shaw Cinemas, and if you are willing to do so Start a new collaboration."

Hearing this, Fang Yihua was taken aback. At first, she thought that Run Run Shaw was concerned about the progress of the establishment of DreamWorks Cinemas because of the consideration of competitors, but she did not expect that the real purpose was to seek cooperation.

"Tang Huan is now the largest landowner in Xiangjiang. He has a lot of ready-made property resources in his hands. It is very simple to build a theater chain for DreamWorks. We take the initiative to join in. Will others like the Shaw Brothers theater chain? Don't cooperate. , but lost face." Fang Yihua advised.

"The establishment of a theater chain is not as simple as you think. The formation of a movie theater's popularity is indistinguishable from the timing, location, and harmony of people. Whether Tang Huan builds a theater or makes an acquisition, he can't make a quick decision on this point." Reach the current level of Shaw Cinemas, and this is the basis of our cooperation."

There was a wise light in Shaw's eyes, "I will give you a principle, that is, the premise must be established on the basis of the unified actions of Shaw Cinemas. Any cooperation should not just choose those few flagship stores and ignore other small and medium-sized stores." cinema."
