The headquarters of Wanda Cinema Line is located in Beijing. Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu met with General Manager Bao Jiazhong. Wanda Cinema Line is still ranked last in the country. Bao Jiazhong seemed a little excited about Shao Shuaijun's interested investment. Wanda's stall
So big, the support for theater companies is limited.
Cinema chain companies are the kind of stepmothers who work hard to gain popularity for the plaza. The value of the plaza is the foundation of Wanda. However, investing in cinema chains also shoulders the task of expanding funds and revitalizing the entire plaza. This makes Bao Bao
Jiazhong is very troubled.
The two parties hit it off immediately, and Bao Jiazhong asked Boss Lin for instructions on the spot. Boss Lin nodded and agreed that everything could be discussed. Moreover, Boss Lin personally ordered a meal at the hotel and invited Shao Shuaijun. Over the years, Boss Lin has been donating to charity and contributing to culture.
The circle moves closer to wash away the smell of copper from one's body.
Shao Shuaijun is a director and a well-known cultural figure, and is very popular with Boss Lin.
Both parties were willing to have a good meal, and the rest was to discuss the investment amount and share distribution. Boss Lin and Shao Shuaijun did not participate in this aspect, and instead went to the golf course to play golf all afternoon. One was
Real estate tycoons and one is a famous director. Although they have no common language, they do not prevent each other from complimenting each other.
The main reason is that Boss Lin is too talkative and can talk about astronomy and geography from all over the world. As long as Shao Shuaijun opens his mouth, he knows everything about astronomy and geography. After all, there are a lot of things you need to know to be a director.
"When I'm in business, I either don't do it or I do my best. With Wanda Cinema, I'm also moving towards the goal of being number one in the country. Now that Director Shao is helping me, great things can be expected."
Shao Shuaijun nodded. This is indeed the case. In the future, Wanda Cinema Chain will become the world's largest cinema chain company: "Actually, Mr. Lin might as well look further ahead. No matter how aggressive the expansion of domestic cinema chains is, it will be a small effort after all. It should be
Strive to make a difference in the international market. The film industry has a history of more than a hundred years, with ups and downs, but we all believe that movies will never decline because people have this spiritual need when they have money. When will we put cinemas in theaters?
By expanding to foreign countries, our Chinese films can be more exposed internationally and use our culture to influence others. At that time, we will not only be businessmen, but also national heroes."
Boss Lin's eyes flashed: "Yes, domestic is nothing, the international stage is where we should strive."
Shao Shuaijun knew that Boss Lin was attracted. When wealth reached a certain level, people's pursuits changed and they began to pursue fame. So there were wealthy businessmen playing football, and some wealthy businessmen playing movies. There was nothing more than pursuing fame. The film industry is more profitable than the land industry.
The money is less than a fraction. Even if we shoot ten movies worth over RMB 100 million a year, it is still not as profitable as selling a few buildings.
However, the film industry is born to live in the spotlight, and it can be seen that some of the most famous people are either sports stars or entertainment stars on the Forbes China Celebrity List.
"I have my own company in the United States, and my next step is to enter the Hollywood film industry. I hope Wanda Cinemas can be my strong backing, and together we can create a sky for Chinese-language films."
"If you and I join forces, we can definitely make a difference."
Regardless of the purpose, the goals of the two people are the same, and cooperation is quickly established.
After handing over the negotiations to Li Xiuxiu again, Shao Shuaijun rushed to Hengdian to continue filming "Painted Skin". He had to hurry up. The cost of the "Painted Skin" crew's delay for one day was 100,000 yuan, and he would still be away for a few days.
Theater crew.
On October 1st, the National Day, the premiere of "Du Lala's Promotion" was held at the Wanda Cinema CBD store. Shao Shuaijun flew there during the day, attended the premiere in the evening, and rushed back to the set overnight.
.As the first film invested by Deng Tianshuaijun, "Du Lala's Promotion" received mixed reviews in the media after its premiere.
Those who support it say it is an inspirational workplace comedy that inspires life's struggle, with gorgeous scenes, and is a rare fashion movie. Those who oppose it criticize the film's pale content and money-worship mentality. Except for the pretty characters in it, what else?
None, completely obscene.
The media also mercilessly criticized Wang Yixue, who was directing a film for the first time. He is the most impetuous director. He only uses beautiful women to fill scenes and is full of money worship. Wang Yixue has no place to complain. The film is completely based on the script written by Shao Shuaijun.
It was a script, but why did he get blamed in the end?
Shao Shuaijun, who was far away in Hengdian, was also sweating secretly. Fortunately, he did not direct it himself, otherwise he would definitely be scolded. Even worse than Wang Yixue.
Regardless of whether it is scolding or praising, "Du Lala's Promotion" took advantage of the National Day, when white-collar workers generally take a holiday, to hit the theaters and make money. The box office in the first week was 43 million, which shocked everyone's jaws.
The weekly downward trend was obvious, but it also took in 28 million box office, 15 million in the third week, and 6 million in the fourth week. After four weeks, the movie was released, with a total box office of 92 million yuan, squeezing into the third place in the annual box office list.
"Any movie related to Shao Shuaijun will definitely be a hit!" A newspaper report expressed everyone's thoughts. Starting from "Buried Alive", "Crazy Stone", "Crazy Racing", "Source Code", "People Are Here"
"Unfortunate Journey" to "Du Lala's Promotion", each of them has created a miracle at the box office with a small budget and a small budget.
The movie sold well, although it did not exceed 100 million yuan, but a celebration banquet was indispensable. At the Beijing International Hotel, Li Xiuxiu also took the opportunity to show off the relationship network of Dengtian Shuaijun during this period. Senior executives of Dengtian Entertainment, Dengtian Shiba
All the artists under the banner naturally came to support the show without saying anything. Huayi Brothers’ senior executives and artists also came to support the show to save their face.
In addition, Deputy Director Zhang Hongsen of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television was also invited, along with Deputy Director Mao Yu, Deputy Inspector Luan Guozhi, and several division chiefs. These people were all promoted by Li Xiuxiu.
The banner of entertainment relies on the inexplicable prince behind it to make connections.
In order to win them over, they secretly paid a lot of dividends, and with the convenience of Twilight Company in the United States, they helped arrange for the sons and nephews of several leaders to go abroad. Now, even if Dengtian Entertainment is gone, this relationship cannot be broken.
The most important thing is that Deputy Director Zhang’s daughter Zhang Juan has served as the general counsel of Dengtian Shuaijun Company.
To be called a consultant means to have a name, get a part of the shares as dividends, and then pawn some flies for the company, and pass on the news. Now Zhang Hongsen is just the deputy director, and Zhang Juan's influence is still small, but Shao Shuaijun knows that Zhang Hongsen will soon
Assuming the position of director, Zhang Juan's influence will become greater and greater.
Accompanying Zhang Hongsen and other leaders was Shao Shuaijun. Several people were talking on the sofa in the lobby. In addition, there was an unexpected person, Bao Jiazhong, the general manager of Wanda Cinema Line.
After breaking the ice sculptures with the main creative staff, Shao Shuaijun stepped back. After the reporters asked many questions about the movie, Shao Shuaijun and Bao Jiazhong came on stage.
"Thank you to all the leaders, bosses, big stars, and friends from the media for coming to celebrate the box office success of "Du Lala's Promotion". Taking this opportunity, I would like to announce some good news...
