Chapter 287 Businessman's Nature
ps: The first time I have achieved counter-growth. Whether it is collection or subscription, I am really happy! Although it is tiring to write a book, I here guarantee that 5 monthly tickets and one chapter will be increased, and I will definitely be able to speak and trustworthy.
"The Police Story has caused a sensation across Hong Kong. The box office sales have become settled. If you have money but don't make money, you are a bastard. There is no need to be unable to get along with money. Besides, it can also alleviate the relationship with Aaron."
The more Zou Wenhuai said, the more he felt that he was too wise. This was a birds with one stone. He could not only maintain his current status, but also easily make money. There was no reason not to do this.
There are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests. This is how people are. Once they make excuses for themselves, the next thing will be natural.
He Guanchang thought about it and said that this might be the best result. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Now that there is no good way, let’s lie down first and taste gall, and wait until you have the chance to give Li Yihua a fatal blow.
"I have no objection at all, but." He Guanchang said with embarrassment: "But who will talk to Li Yihua? Of course, we have a lot of grudges during the holidays."
"I won't bother the second master in one thing. Let Along talk to Li Yihua about this matter." Zou Wenhua held a cigar in his hand, and said without thinking: "I heard that their personal relationship is pretty good. I hope that Li Yihua's scammer wouldn't speak loudly."
"I am a fisherman, and I can't even think of it." He Guanchang sighed softly, "I will definitely stick to the movie division."
Zou Wenhuai frowned into the word "Chuan". He sucked two puffs of cigarettes, took his hair, and said, "As long as it is not too much, we can all agree to him."
"I know what to do!" He Guanchang nodded, got up and walked out.
Lei Juekun, the helmsman of Princess Jin Cinema, was in a very bad mood. When he saw the advertisement for the "Police Story" in Ming Pao, he frowned. He couldn't figure out what Li Yihua wanted to do!
This is the fourth day. The slogan of "Police Story" can be said to be changing every day, and the trailer has also moved from the video to the behind-the-scenes, especially those unknown to everyone.
Taking off his eyes, Lei Juekun wiped his glasses and asked Mecca, "What is the idea that Mr. Shao is making this time? He is taking a big step. First, Shaw Brothers Cinema changed ownership silently, and then canceled the bottom-up system. Nothing was done by him who was stingy. And Li Yihua, is advertising fees worthless? If it continues like this, it will be more than one million that cannot be stopped. I really don't know what he thinks."
Lei Juekun, a businessman, is very unaware of Li Yihua's doing this. Businessmen pursue maximization of interests. After gaining popularity, there is no need to do this thankless thing.
Mecca, who read the newspaper, was still confused and finally guessed: "I see that Li Yihua's intention to drink this time is not to drink. I guess this time I plan to lose money and make a name for myself, and use this method to open up the situation of Shaw Brothers theaters and attract those small and medium-sized film companies to release movies in his theaters."
"Your analysis makes sense." Lei Juekun nodded in agreement, "But there is another problem you didn't notice."
"Although Shaw Brothers Theater has cancelled the bottom-up system, not all films can be released. If you pay attention, you will find that although many of the small and medium-sized film companies have taken movies to Shaw Brothers, Shaw Brothers Theater has only left a small part, and most of them have been returned."
After listening to Mecca, she thought about it carefully, but it was like this. Many small film companies that depended on New Art City also went there, but only a very small part was left by Shaw Brothers Theater, and most of them were taken back to Princess Golden Theater for release.
"The remaining movies. Judging from the recent releases, there are more than one or two levels better than the movies we released, and the box office is several times that of ours. Do you know what this means?" Lei Juekun asked back.
"What does it mean?" Mecca, who couldn't figure it out, asked a very idiotic question.
A hint of disappointment was seen in Lei Juekun's eyes. He was a little disappointed and a little relieved about Mecca, who lacked a sense of overall situation. Disappointment was that there was no sense of overall situation, which was definitely a terrible thing for the superiors. What was at ease was that only such people were the best to control.
"It means that Li Yihua wants to create a boutique theater, which forms a concept in the minds of movie fans. The movies released by Shaw Brothers theaters are boutique movies, which are worthy of the movie tickets bought by movie fans, just like clothes, shoes and other brands."
If Li Yihua stood here, he would definitely call himself a confidant, and he was worthy of being an old fox in the shopping mall. He could only infer the intentions of this young master from the information, and he was ashamed of admiration.
"Boss Lei, what should we do? Should we also adopt the concept of Li Yihua, a boutique theater chain?" Mecca touched his bald head, and he was really not interested in these business matters.
"Since we know his intentions, we, Princess Jin Cinema, have to take action, but these are not the most urgent things now." Lei Juekun pushed his glasses and said, "What we need to face most now is what Li Yihua said about the summer vacation?"
"The "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" filmed by A Ming has basically completed the post-production work. Next, you can rush to the summer vacation to release it and use it to compete with Li Yihua." Mecca quickly told his plan.
"Can you win "Police Story"?" Lei Juekun asked back.
"This" Mecca stammered for a long time but couldn't tell what it was.
"Although the "Happy Ghost" series has a certain mass base, it is all niche. Although the box office is guaranteed, it is difficult to achieve a very high box office, and it is not much higher than the previous one."
Lei Juekun took a sip of tea and continued.
"The managers under Princess Golden Cinema have been calling me recently and asked when "Police Story" will be released. Do you know what it means? It means that this movie will definitely become popular, so I plan to introduce "Police Story" as the main force in the summer vacation."
"What?" Mecca shouted in disbelief, and suddenly felt abandoned. Although he felt that Lei Juekun was interested in the interests, he did not expect to be so decisive.
"The world is full of money for profit. I am a businessman. When I am doing business, I have to pursue maximization of interests." Lei Juekun seemed to have not seen Mecca's indifference and said slowly: "I know you have some conflicts with Li Yihua, so you should not participate in this matter. I have already asked someone to discuss it."
"In Xinyi City, I don't want to see any abnormal movements. Go back and comfort me. As long as you can make good movies and top-notch movies, the Golden Princess Theater will always open for you."
Mecca didn't know how to leave Lei Juekun's office, stood outside the door and looked at the sky, then looked at the majestic office, and sighed: It seems that the sky is really going to change.
"What did you say? Prince Jin released "Police Story"?" Li Yihua looked at a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses opposite him in surprise.
"That's right!" Wei Mingyuan said again with certainty. In order to achieve the effect, the head is like a chicken eating rice. "Boss Lei, I sincerely invite your movie to be released in Princess Jin's theater."
"Hahaha! Isn't Boss Lei afraid that Mecca from Xinyi City will be resentful?"
Li Yihua was still very unhappy about Mecca, who had broken the bridges across the river. He said this to be just disgusting the other party. Of course, my movie will be released in Princess Jin, and you don’t agree. It’s really thirty years since Hedong and thirty years after Hexi. Now I’m here to beg me!
"Mr. Li is really good at joking. Whether it is Princess Jin Cinema or Xinyi City, they are industries under Boss Lei. Boss Lei doesn't need to look at anyone's face." Wei Mingyuan said with an unhappy expression, "I don't know what Mr. Li thinks about this matter?"
"No objection!" Li Yihua spread his hands and shrugged and said, "It is a good thing for me to release an extra theater movie. I don't know if Boss Lei's bargaining chips can make me moved."
Wei Mingyuan pondered for a moment, put away his contempt for Li Yihua, and said seriously: "Please rest assured by Mr. Li. Boss Lei is definitely sincere. The summer vacation schedule "Police Story" is the main feature, and all other videos are given to it."
