Chapter 150 Wu Changyun's Business Empire
"You want to buy theaters from me, are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy. It's fine if you want to sell it. If you don't sell it, I won't force it. This is the end of today's conversation."
After Wu Changyun finished speaking, he planned to leave without saving any face for He Guanchang.
Now that Wu Changyun has a box office, whoever puts his movie in a theater can bring him a lot of money.Previously he was the boss of Jiahe, but Wu Changyun's two box office movies this year proved what it means to be precise rather than quantity.
Wu Changyun’s two films this year add up to almost 400 million at the box office. What kind of concept is this? This year, Golden Harvest’s works can reach the figure. Qiji Film Company crushed this at the box office when Golden Harvest was in the limelight. dynasty.
Golden Harvest is not a one-person Golden Harvest, but Wu Changyun is really a one-person company.
In other words, what He Guanchang has to worry about is not only his own interests.
"Wait, tell me, which one do you want?"
"Just waiting for your words."
Wu Changyun chose not only one theater, but seven theaters along the line, which not only avoided the competition between two theaters in the same area, but also established his own brand.
"Seven families?"
He Guanchang carefully considered the pros and cons, and asked him to hand over seven theaters in exchange for the screening rights of Qi Ji Film Company.
"This is not a small business, and how can I believe that you will continue to produce good works in the future?"
"Either I'm sitting in a chariot with me, or we're fighting each other. I don't think the seven theaters will hurt your roots. I'm not prostitution for nothing."
Wu Changyun frowned, pretending to be very distressed.
He is getting a bargain now and still behaves well. The reason is very simple. Qi Ji Film Company is currently in the limelight. If it gets out of hand in the future, then establish a cooperative relationship as soon as possible. At least it will still be the same as Shaw Brothers and still occupy the leading position in the industry. .
Even if Qi Ji Film Company can't make good movies in the future, it is good news for Jiahe.
"Okay, I promise you." He Guanchang really had no choice. This year, his right-hand man Xu Guanwen did a good enough job and surpassed himself, but he still fell in front of Wu Changyun.
"Time is also destiny." He Guanchang took a closer look at the young man in front of him. Why did they not recruit Wu Changyun back then? It seems like a big mistake now.
Jiahe's business model is very similar to Qi Ji's, with basic salary plus dividends. The advantage of this is that it can stabilize people's hearts and avoid poaching.
But the expenditure on actors is also ridiculously high. They poached people from Shaw Brothers with better remuneration, but now they are also reaping the consequences.
Wu Changyun successfully moved seven theaters from Golden Harvest at a price of 570 million yuan, including three large theaters and four small theaters.
Large theaters are located in shopping malls or independent stores. Similar to Zhujiang Cinemas, they are independent stores and are very luxurious.
Some small theaters are located on the first floor of shopping malls, or converted from old office buildings. The ticket sales area is relatively small, and the corridors are relatively narrow. There is no Houying Hall like the Pearl River, and it is more like a hotel with a slightly larger specification.
79 was a year of good luck for Wu Changyun. Affected by the box office dominance of Qiji Film Company, Yuan Aijia decided to package Zhengke Film Company and sell it to Wu Changyun.
By the way, the nine theater chains under the name of Zhengke, Yindu Cinema Line and Zhujiang Cinema Chain were completed that year, forming the "Zhupu Line" with Puqing, Cathay, Gaosheng and other cinemas to play movies from Great Wall and Phoenix Pictures , a moment of glory.
With the opening of Nanhua Cinema Line and Nanyang Cinema Line, the "Zhupu Line" was combined with them to form the "Double South Line" connecting the seven theaters.
Now half of the Shuangnan Line has been captured by Wu Changyun, and Jiahe's ten hospitals have also been dismantled by Wu Changyun, leaving only seven hospitals.
In order to achieve this goal, Wu Changyun also gathered all the funds he could raise in his own hands, so that he could barely maintain the normal operation of the company.
Fortunately, things started to get better after the theater opened.
Zhou Huiting was sitting on a chair nearby in a short skirt, holding a newspaper in her hand. She looked at the two-story "courtyard" representing the company in the photo. She suddenly slapped the newspaper on the table and asked: "Wu Changyun, what are you planning to do?" When are you going to change the company’s address to a new one?”
"Change? Who said it will be changed?"
Zhou Huiting was speechless for a while. She pointed to the paparazzi holding cameras outside the window and said, "Our company's hardware needs to be upgraded. At the very least, we don't even have a studio for taking pictures."
"We're not a graphic poster company, why do we need that thing? Besides, we don't have a photographer."
"Then, we should have the living room, the stage for publicity performances, the recording room, and the dressing room."
"It's nonsense, the living room is fine, the stage for charity performances and publicity can be outsourced, the cost performance is too low to do it yourself, and the recording room is not often used, outsourced, all outsourced."
"You too, you're too picky." Zhou Huiting jumped angrily. The reason why she summoned her was because the group headed by Zhou Runfa whispered in her ears every day.
In addition, Zhou Huiting is from the city, and she takes the bus to Diamond Hill every day. When her family asks about the place of work, they all look disappointed when they hear Diamond Hill.
Although there is a diamond in the name of Diamond Mountain, it is really not rich. It only reminds people of the all-uphill terrain and the grandmother who splashed dirty water in the middle of the road. There are no diamonds in Diamond Mountain.
"Oh, if you do this again, Wu Changyun, you force me to do it."
Zhou Huiting grabbed Wu Changyun by the collar, put her legs on Wu Changyun's thigh, and held him tightly.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Dedicated to the cause?"
"If you don't agree, I'll shout molestation."
Zhou Huiting actually didn't know what to do, she just stepped on Wu Changyun's thigh on impulse.Maybe it's because she has a good impression of her boss, or because her feelings have been suppressed for too long and can't be expressed.
But she clearly knew that there was never a shortage of good women around Wu Changyun.
"Okay, okay, don't think about it all day long, we will move to the center of the city at the end of this year, you can check the location first."
"Really? Good!"
The next day, Wu Changyun was invited to be one of the hosts of a banquet. In layman's terms, he paid for it.
There are nine organizers in total. The caller is Zou Wenhuai from Jiahe. In addition to Qi Ji, there are bosses from Jiahe, Siyuan, Great Wall, Shaw Brothers, Phoenix, Luo Wei, Jia Mao, and Emperor, a total of nine film companies.
Those who could enter the venue that day were also A-list celebrities and media companies.
Wu Changyun was forced to arrive at the venue ahead of schedule, and the host was Li Siqi, one of TVB's top actresses, accompanied by Zhou Runfa, who had stole the limelight this year.
