Chapter 358: Start some cultural industry(2/2)
The completely unfamiliar vocabulary made Du Feng a little confused, "What is a video hall?"
"Do you know about dance halls? As the name suggests, a video hall is a place where videos are played. Next time you go to Guangdong, ask around. They have a home-use cassette recorder that can be connected to a TV and then play various movies through movie tapes."
After listening to Lin Chaoyang's explanation, Du Feng immediately remembered it.
"I seem to have heard people mention this kind of machine before. But brother-in-law, if people want to watch movies, they can just go to the cinema. If I build a video hall, I can't build it bigger than the cinema. Is that okay?"
“If you want to watch domestic movies, you have to have a video tape!
The cinemas show all domestic films. If you show Hong Kong movies, you show foreign movies!
You’ve got all the machines, why can’t you get some video tapes?”
Du Feng suddenly understood. Nowadays, Xiangjiang movies are sweeping across Southeast Asia. He has not seen many of them, but he has heard of the famous ones.
The home video cassette recorder was invented in the United States, but it was little Japan that really brought this thing to the world, entered thousands of households, and formed a huge user market.
In the 1970s, Japan vigorously developed the home video recorder industry. First of all, the environmental needs of Japanese families were taken into consideration. Due to the small residential area, color TVs became the main entertainment tool for families. Cassette home video recorders were very suitable for family needs.
At this point in time, Betamax and VHS format players have decided who is the leading product in the market. VHS format players have won a great victory, and with the improvement of technology, they have continued to drive down the price of video recorders.
In the United States, Japan and other developed countries, household video cassette recorders have gradually entered the homes of ordinary people. The video tape market spawned by it has also affected the movie market to a certain extent.
In Lin Chaoyang's memory, domestic video parlors first appeared in the summer of 1984, and they were considered a good business.
The most important thing is that Du Feng wants to do cultural business. This thing may not seem to be popular in the early stage, but the income is actually very considerable.
If it really succeeds in making it big, in a few years when movie theaters in various places can no longer survive, Du Feng can surround the cities in rural areas and contract movie theaters in various places. When the theater chain is reformed, it can openly become a private theater chain.
Listening to Lin Chaoyang's continuous opinions, Du Feng's eyes became brighter and brighter.
He knew that he would definitely learn something real by following his brother-in-law!
