Super Zoo

After a successful start, Hou Longtao resolutely implemented Su Ming's strategic plan, insisting on not expanding and building a good reputation for Yangchuan Taoyuan Cinema. The cinema entered a healthy operation stage, and Su Ming was gradually able to withdraw from daily management.

As expected, news came from other places that about four or five cities across the country took the lead in establishing art cinemas, imitating the model of Taoyuan Cinema and supporting niche films.

It seems that Taoyuan has lost the initiative, and some people secretly feel sorry for Taoyuan. If Taoyuan had laid out earlier, it might have taken the lead nationwide and taken the lead in building art cinemas.

Now that local officials and local cinemas have begun to intervene, it is not easy for Taoyuan to intervene.

Some people also believe that the national market is huge, with hundreds of cities, and only a few cities have established art cinemas. If Taoyuan takes action now, it is still in time.

Su Ming paid special attention to it. These cities that took the lead in establishing art cinemas have adopted roughly the same model: led by local officials, and local well-known major cinemas participate in the joint formation of art cinemas.

This is reasonable. The benefits of art theaters cannot be compared with those of commercial theaters. For large theater chains, it is a piece of chicken ribs that can be abandoned without regret. If there is no official leadership through administrative regulation, it is impossible for theater chains to take the initiative. Since it is led by the official, it is bound to be difficult to hand this matter over to a certain theater chain. Whether it is the so-called sharing of benefits or the consideration of sharing the blame, it must be the collective participation of the local theater industry.

Also paying attention to foreign art theaters is Baoke Group. Lao Jin from the marketing department said with some regret: "It is better to make up for the loss. Taoyuan should take advantage of the market and make up for it quickly, at least occupy the art theater market in the province?"

Mr. Qian smiled and said: "Why do you want to do it now? What if you get burned?"

Mr. Jin didn't quite understand what Mr. Qian meant. Many of Mr. Qian's information came from the upper level, and it was not convenient to tell Lao Jin directly. He just smiled and said, "Go ahead and do your work."

Baoke Cinema Line has layouts in major cities. Among the five cities that have established art theaters, four have the participation of Baoke Group.

Due to the official leadership, art cinemas were established very quickly, but there were many problems. The leaders of Baoke in the four cities generally responded that they were not optimistic about the prospects.

This thing does not make money, or the efficiency of making money is not as high as commercial films, so the interest of large cinema chains is naturally not high, and it is impossible to invest too much energy. The leaders sent are marginal figures in their respective units and have no voice, so they cannot win excellent resources. The abilities of these marginal figures are relatively average, which means that art cinemas are destined to be second-rate or even third-rate in terms of talent, material resources, and financial resources.

At the same time, the relationship between the leader and the executor is also a problem. The leadership class is separated from the actual execution class, and the interests of the leading leadership class are not linked to the performance of the art cinema. Some leaders do not even understand the film market at all.

The most troublesome point is that there are too many specific executors. A small art cinema has three or four large cinema chains involved. There are too many contradictions, and some are almost difficult to reconcile.

The cinema was built, but the cinemas in the four cities, combined, have only shown less than 100 shows so far, and even the films have not been completely determined. A lot of energy has been used to deal with internal conflicts, and it seems that many conflicts cannot be resolved at all. The more they are dealt with, the more chaotic it becomes.

In this situation, if Taoyuan takes action again, it will be like trying to get a chestnut from the fire, and it is easy to burn your hands.

At least there is a chestnut to get when you are trying to get a chestnut from the fire, but what can you get now? The hatred of various theaters? The dissatisfaction of local officials? A lot of troubles that are difficult to sort out?

If you take action at this time, you are a fool.

Mr. Qian's idea is the same as Su Ming's. The last instruction Su Ming gave to Hou Longtao was to stay put, accumulate strength, and wait and see.

It will not be too late to save the situation after the fire is out or all the troubles are burned.

The cinema has come to an end for the time being. Su Ming looked at his schedule and there seems to be nothing special that needs his attention recently.

Being the helmsman of this group is both difficult and simple. He just needs to set the general direction and framework, hire the right people, and then follow the established development. He has nothing to do.

As for the market development and relationship maintenance that he originally needed to worry about, they are not the focus of the entire Taoyuan.

The reason is that good products are easy to sell.

Some people in the Yangchuan City Forum have also discussed this point. Yangchuan City Taoyuan Group has risen rapidly in a year, and the real helmsman of Taoyuan Group is very mysterious to most people. Except for the first few months, he rarely attends any public events, but the occasional news is eye-catching.

Some people say that this boss came in casually, while others think that Su Ming is behind the scenes and playing a big game.

Only Su Ming himself knows that the smooth development of Taoyuan's enterprises is half because he has taken the right path, and the other half, or even most of the reason, comes from the help of Friends of Animals.

Speaking of Friends of Animals, the zoo has been a little deserted recently. A large number of animals have been transferred to participate in the filming of World of Warcraft.

Not only animals but also an old friend, Uncle Cage, participated in the filming of Warcraft.

After the filming of Warcraft started, several investors had a headache about casting.

With such a large investment, it can be regarded as a well-deserved blockbuster in Hollywood. It must have actors with a certain degree of fame to participate in the film. However, the big names in Hollywood have terrifyingly high salaries. Even though the investment is more than 100 million US dollars, it is really difficult to hire a few big names.

As for Uncle Cage, he is in a low period. His fame and strength are still there, but there are too many bad movies. He is almost a box office poison. Hollywood investors will certainly not hire such a person.

For Cage, starring in a big movie like Warcraft, which has investment, fans and fame, is the best choice.

If Warcraft can become popular, Uncle Cage can fight a comeback with it. It is not a problem to become a first-line male star again. Hollywood has never been a place where age and appearance speak;

If Warcraft is made into a bad movie, Cage will still not lose. This kind of movie adapted from a world-class game will inevitably receive high attention. Even if it is made into a bad movie, it is a big bad movie that attracts much attention. He can also use this to reappear in the eyes of public opinion and the audience.

The two parties hit it off immediately and received a symbolic part of the film remuneration. Uncle Cage also introduced another equally outdated big-name actor to the film: Keanu Reeves.

This actor, who once starred in a series of blockbusters such as The Matrix, Speed, and Interview with the Vampire, debuted as a young and handsome man and became famous in Hollywood. After experiencing the midlife crisis, he, like Cage, is quite down and out.

Cage plays the fallen archmage Medivh, and Keanu Reeves, after losing weight, plays the new generation mage Khadgar.
