100, recycle junk videos
Because of the acquisition of Shaw Brothers Cinema, Liu Dapao still had to discuss with the bosses of Feitian Cinema, after all, the price of this acquisition is definitely not low.
If they want, then integrate Shaw Brothers Cinema and Feitian Cinema into one theater, but if they don’t want to, I’m afraid Liu Dapao will take over Shaw Brothers Cinema by himself.
After receiving a call from Liu Dapao, all the shareholders came.
"Everyone, Shaw Pictures has gone bankrupt. Shaw Theater is going to be sold to the public now. I mean I want to take it down. But I just called Shaw Yifu and he wanted 500 million. What do you think?"
Liu Dapao asked.
"500 million? Why didn't Shao Laoliu rob it? It's too expensive. This old guy is too dark. No, he can't pay so much money."
Luo San immediately said angrily that 500 million is also an astronomical figure for them. You must know that most of their net worth will not exceed 10 million.
Liu Dapao smiled and said, "Uncle Luo, 500 million is naturally high. Shao Yifu mainly wants to make a big profit this time by taking advantage of the popularity of the film market. I am sure to win the Shaw Brothers Cinema. I expect that it will be at least about 400 million. If you feel that you can't afford it, I won't force it. Feitian Cinema is yours. I will do it myself. I will take care of Feitian Cinema in the future. I will talk about it after I say this."
After Liu Dapao said that, everyone started talking.
It is indeed a risky move to acquire a theater chain of 400 million yuan. How many years does it take to make a profit to recover the cost. Unless every work released can have a box office of over 100 million yuan, the investment will be recovered soon.
After some discussion, Luo San said: "Da Cannon, we still feel that it is a bit inaccurate, so you can buy it yourself. But then again, Feitian Film's works must be released in Feitian Theater in the future. When you acquired it, you promised that we would share it at least 10 million a year. If it is not enough, you will post it yourself."
"Of course, then that's the matter. You all go back, I won't leave you for dinner."
Liu Dapao said with some disappointment. Originally, he had high hopes for these people, but now it seems that their vision is far behind him, so where can we see the future of the film market?
......
The next day, Liu Dapao came to Shaw Brothers.
The place has been moved almost all, and Shao Yifu is planning to sell all the office buildings and concentrate on operating the wireless TV station.
After Liu Dapao came in, Pan Disheng happened to come out. He greeted Liu Dapao politely and left. It seemed that the conversation with Shao Yifu collapsed.
"The cannon is here? Let's sit down." Shao Yifu greeted with a smile.
Liu Dapao nodded and said, "Uncle Six, let's open the skylight and say something bright. Shaw Brothers Cinemas will give you 300 million. As for your inventory, let's take a look immediately. I'll take over it. Whether the cost can be recovered in the future is my fault. As for those bad movies, only Uncle Six will keep them yourself."
Shao Yifu nodded, and immediately took Liu Dapao into the screening room.
I saw a lot of videotapes piled up in the screening room. As soon as Liu Dapao entered, he heard the system prompt: "Is the earth's movie garbage now? Will it be recycled?"
Liu Dapao was stunned and thought to himself why he didn't expect it? He has a system. No matter how bad these works are, they can be repaired with a system!
But he didn't dare to use the system in front of Shao Yifu, otherwise wouldn't he be scared to death when Shao Yifu saw a lot of videotapes missing?
"Uncle Six, why are there so many?" Liu Dapao was a little teasing. Shaw Brothers was blocked by Jiahe before, and a large number of bad movies were piled up in the warehouse. Over time, so many accumulated.
Shao Yifu smiled and said, "Yes, I have a headache too. These movies are actually quite entertaining. Unfortunately, the competition was too fierce at the beginning and they couldn't take them out for release. So I don't want to do so. One movie is 500,000, and there are about 80 movies here. I will charge you 40 million Hong Kong dollars. If you have a movie for sale, you can earn money. Cannons, right? If you win these, then the theaters will be 300 million Hong Kong dollars in total, think about it."
Shao Yifu was not wrong. Jiahe's rise completely put Shaw in trouble, and Shaw Brothers raised many people. These people shoot a lot of works every year, so they will naturally hoard them.
Liu Dapao smiled and said, "Uncle Six, don't think about it. I promise you that I will just treat it as my last contribution to you. However, I can't pay so much at once. After the contract is signed, I will pay half of it first, and within three months, pay the final payment. Uncle Six, what do you think?"
Shao Yifu was secretly happy, but he didn't expect that all these bad movies could be sold. If Liu Dapao didn't want them, then they would be worthless and would all be thrown into the garbage warehouse.
"Da Cannon, you might as well, I won't make things difficult for you anymore. Let's sign the contract right away."
Shao Yifu said.
The contract was soon finalized, and Liu Dapao asked Wen Biyu to transfer 170 million Hong Kong dollars to Shaw Brothers, and then asked Lao Zeng to take over Shaw Brothers Cinemas immediately.
He dragged a lot of videotapes back to Feitian Film.
However, when he was on the roadside, he asked the system to recycle these video tapes. It took more than ten minutes before the video tapes were all regenerated by the system.
Liu Dapao immediately took out all of them, picked up one and looked at the names, and couldn't help but laugh.
This is actually a romantic movie!
The name is [Bajie's Happy Life]. Shaw Brothers likes to shoot romantic movies very much, but it is estimated that the quality of this movie is too rough, so it has not been released.
I watched a few more movies, including art films and martial arts films, all of which were works that I had no impression of at all.
Back at the company, Liu Dapao immediately asked someone to prepare a video player, and then put the movie "Bajie's Happy Life" in and started playing it.
As soon as the picture came out, Liu Dapao's eyes lit up. The picture was definitely processed and very clear. What is the old movie? It's like a work from the 21st century.
After the previous introduction, the plot begins.
The plot of Gao Laozhuang was first revealed. Zhu Bajie recruited a family to Gao Laozhuang. After drinking and eating, he showed his true face and scared Gao Laozhuang's people.
Then Zhu Bajie used a spell and swept his wife away. Then there was a mediocre show. Liu Dapao opened his eyes wide. This system was really powerful. He actually processed all the mediocre shows, and all of them were in vacuum. Liu Dapao immediately became hot!
"Damn, this system directly turns 3 into 1. How dare you take out this kind of video to play? I'm afraid it's only sent to the island country and Europe and the United States!"
Liu Dapao couldn't help but be surprised.
But at this time he forgot something, that is, he did not turn the sound down, and a screaming sound attracted the people from the company.
"The village chief is hiding inside and watching, haha, the village chief is so bad."
"Is the village chief lacking enough desire? Haha."
"What kind of movie is this? Why does it seem like a costume movie at a time, and it looks like this again?"
......
Wen Biyu also noticed that she immediately walked towards the screening room, then pushed open the door and walked in.
Liu Dapao then turned his head and looked at it, and said with an awkward expression: "Biyu, close the door. These are all films taken from Shaw Brothers. Shao Yifu sold the theaters and sold all these works to me. I was picking and looking at how good the movies there were. I didn't expect it to be a romantic film. It was too exposed, so I was shut down."
After saying that, Liu Dapao locked up the work, then picked up another one and put it in.
Wen Biyu said: "This old man Shao is really a shame. He actually made people shoot such a movie. How do people think of it?"
Liu Dapao smiled and said, "When there is demand, there is supply. There is always someone watching this kind of movie, and Shaw Brothers will shoot it. I plan to sell this type of work to the island country, and I can also recover some funds at that time."
In fact, after the system recycling and regeneration, these romantic films are of good quality, the pictures are very high-definition, and the actions are very satisfying. Liu Dapao plans to be screened in the theater chain of [Risen Film] at that time, and then Vcd will also be available and enter thousands of households in the island country.
At this time, the player started to screen again. This movie is a martial arts film, [Record of the Fellowship of the World].
At the beginning of the picture, Liu Dapao's eyes lit up. This work is pretty good.
After various martial arts movements have been processed, they have become more smooth and natural, and the dubbing has also changed. This is a very excellent work.
"Wow, husband, Shaw Brothers has never been released such a good movie. Isn't it surprising?"
Wen Biyu had already started crying.
Liu Dapao smiled and said, "Yes, it's indeed a good work. This work can be released and can achieve a good box office result. Old Man Shao really misunderstood this time."
He quickly went forward and watched it. The whole film was very good. After the system was processed, it was already unrecognizable. If the promotion was properly done, there would be no problem with the box office of this work exceeding 10 million.
Liu Dapao put the [Records of the Fellowships of the Rivers and Lakes] aside, picked up another one and put it in.
This is an art film called [Boys and Girls], which tells the love life of young people.
After processing, the awkward acting skills have disappeared, replaced by smooth opponent scenes. Many kissing scenes are also visible in high definition, making people feel emotional at first sight.
"This movie is not bad, haha, Shao Yifu is going to be very angry this time." Liu Dapao quickly went forward and put it aside.
After half a day of watching, Liu Dapao and Wen Biyu were both very happy. There were 72 works in total, including three romantic films, twenty martial arts films, thirty-five art films, and fourteen of them were gunfight films. Overall, after systematic processing, the pictures were all very good, but most of the works were still very bad, but at least ten of them could be taken out for screening, and the box office could be guaranteed, and there was no problem to exceed 50,000 at least.
Liu Dapao immediately took out these ten works and handed them over to the industry department, asking them to prepare immediately and release them on the New Year's Day schedule.
As for those plots that are not good, Liu Dapao directly asked the Xingdao to make Vcd CDs and rented them directly to the public. The entertainment life is still not sufficient. Many people stay at home to watch dishes without any trouble. These films can also allow them to play time, after all, the picture is still very high-definition.
As for the romantic film, Liu Dapao will collect it privately. When you go to the island country, you will sell it to the island people.
The news of Shaw Brothers Cinemas’ sale was soon published, and everyone soon learned that another entertainment company in Xiangjiang went bankrupt.
However, major media still have their own opinions about Feitian Group spending so much money to acquire Shaw Brothers Cinemas, some are optimistic, while others are dissatisfied.
Liu Dapao's movements were very fast. Soon, he changed the signs of all the thirteen theaters. Then the next night, large publicity posters were erected at the entrances of various theaters of Shaw Brothers theaters.
.........
"【Jianghu Fellowship Record】? This movie is Shaw's style. Is it Shaw's inventory?"
In front of a cinema, after watching the poster, some viewers started muttering immediately.
"No, this is our work by [Fei Tian Film], but it's so good, and the ticket price has dropped now. The ticket price of this movie is only 20 Hong Kong dollars in the front row, which is very cost-effective."
The ticket seller explained with a smile.
As the ticket price dropped, Liu Dapao naturally knew that these movies could not compare with [Heroic Characters], [Police Story], and [Plan a Plan], 2o Hong Kong dollars is enough.
The rear row is cheaper, with the lowest price being HK$10.
I heard that it was a work by Feitian Film, so many people started buying tickets and then entered the cinema in 6 consecutive days.
At the entrance of another cinema, there is a promotional poster of [Boys and Girls]. The youthful and beautiful pictures on it also allow many viewers to buy tickets and enter the cinema.
Thirteen theaters show the [Record of the Grudges of the Jianghu] and [Boys and Girls] respectively, and then choose to add or subtract according to their respective box office situations.
Chapter completed!
