"Thank you to all the leaders, all the bosses, all the big stars, and all the media friends for coming to this celebration party for the box office success of "Du Lala's Promotion". I would like to take this opportunity to announce some good news."
Shao Shuaijun looked at everyone's expressions of listening attentively and said with a smile: "I have begun cooperation with Wanda Cinema Chain to jointly fund the integration of the cinema chain system. The new Wanda Cinema Chain will strive to be the first-tier city in China with Wanda Cinema in the next two years."
Based on the movie city, it integrates resources and manages the screening of movies in a unified way. Let’s let Bao Jiazhong, general manager of Wanda Cinema Line, introduce it to you.”
Bao Jiazhong is almost 50 years old, a little thin, but his voice is very loud: "Wanda Group, under the leadership of Chairman Lin, is booming. The group has always been enterprising in the cultural industry. This time Wanda Cinema Line can cooperate with Shao Shuaijun
The director cooperation will definitely be an action to promote the development of Chinese films."
"Excuse me, Mr. Bao, what kind of cooperation is this between Wanda Cinemas and Director Shao?" a reporter raised his hand and asked.
"This cooperation is a new exploration of cinema chain management. Wanda Cinema uses the cinemas under Wanda Group as franchise custody assets. Director Shao Shuaijun, as an investor and cinema manager, jointly manages Wanda Cinema. Everyone.
You should know that Wanda has built many movie cities before, and the theater chain has been entrusted to the American Warner Company. Unfortunately, the theater chain is not profitable. Director Shao Shuaijun will bring a new management plan to our Wanda Cinema Line and strive to
To create a new cinema management standard."
"Excuse me, Director Shao, what is the standard?"
"I have thought deeply about this issue. Currently, domestic cinemas are of different sizes, with different film supply, different service facilities, and different management methods. Many cinemas are aging or do not meet construction standards. These are all restricting the development of the Chinese film market.
Factors. I’m very happy that I had an in-depth discussion with Wanda’s boss Lin. We hope that through this cooperation with Wanda Cinemas, we can explore cinema management standards that suit China’s conditions. I summarize these standards into eight dialectical relationships:
Forming an excellent management team is more important than building an excellent cinema;
Promoting theaters is more important than promoting films;
Audience attendance is more important than box office revenue;
Audience box office is more important than sales revenue;
Domestic films are more important than imported films;
Customer maintenance is more important than store sales;
It’s more important to promote “small films” than “big ones”;
It is more important to increase revenue than to reduce expenditure."
Naturally, these principles were not summed up by Shao Shuaijun, but learned in his previous life. As the best theater chain in the country in the future, Wanda Cinema Line was also studied by Shao Shuaijun. He was about to make his first movie at that time, in order to position himself in the market.
Due to taste and audience demand, I just watched movies at Wanda Cinema for half a month.
This information is the capital he dares to participate in Wanda Cinemas.
Without giving reporters much time to ask questions, and simply spreading the news, Shao Shuaijun and Bao Jiazhong left the hall and went to the private room to sit down. There were leaders inside, so they couldn't be kept waiting.
"Xiao Shao, you are making a lot of money now. When did you reach a cooperation with Wanda Cinemas again? It seems that in the future when we release movies, we will have to find Xiao Shao to open the back door." Wang Zhonglei was also surprised by this hand.
Shao Shuaijun's development is too fast.
From being a director who could manipulate things at will, to being a film company boss who has everything he wants, now he has extended his hand to theaters. Unknowingly, his power has begun to take shape, and he is no longer a young man who can be fooled.
Shao Shuaijun smiled softly, saying that joining Wanda Cinema was easier than he thought.
It's almost like dry wood igniting when it encounters a fierce fire. Shao Shuaijun was originally prepared for heavy bleeding, but he didn't know that he didn't need it at all. He only spent 30 million US dollars to acquire 49% of the shares of the theater chain company. Of course, this was a divestment.
Wanda Cinema Chain Company after acquiring Wanda Cinema City.
Theater chains are management companies, and movie theaters are industries. The two cannot be confused. When a movie theater joins a theater chain, it is handed over to the theater chain for unified management, unified film arrangement, unified pricing, unified operation, etc. The only thing the movie theater owner has to do is to pay dividends
.Shao Shuaijun has no intention of making profits through the theater chain, he just needs the convenience of the theater chain.
As for Boss Lin, what he needs is a cinema chain company to take care of his movie theaters to create brand benefits, expand Wanda Group's business content, and prepare for the IPO. Things are so dramatic, a cinema chain company will be unstoppable in the future, Shao Shuaijun
Half mastered.
"Having a theater company in my hands gives me some confidence to make movies. Even if I make a bad movie, I'm not afraid that there will be no place to show it." Shao Shuaijun gently changed the topic.
"Xiao Shao's measures are very good. To develop domestic films, a good screening system is particularly critical. Mr. Bao and Xiao Shao must run the theater chain company well and set a leading example for the industry." Zhang Hongsen
He gave a far-sighted speech.
"Boss, please rest assured that we will operate with care."
…
After the celebration banquet, Shao Shuaijun rushed back to the crew again. "Painted Skin" has reached the final stage of filming. There are still three difficult scenes that can be completed. One is the battle between the monsters in the cave, one is the filming of human skin, and the other is
Sex scene. The first sex scene is between Zhao Wei and Chen Kun.
Shao Shuaijun designed this sex scene to be very exciting. Both Chen Kun and Zhao Wei needed to be topless for the filming. In the original version of "Painted Skin", Zhao Wei was wearing clothes, but the sex scene is a sex scene, and it would be better not to film it with clothes on.
It would make the old Americans laugh to death.
If you want to attract attention, you can't be too subtle, and you can't hesitate when it's time to get naked.
"Director, can you shoot with clothes on?" Shao Shuaijun had a good idea, but Zhao Wei was unwilling.
Shao Shuaijun made a serious face: "Zhao Wei, you are an actor. A successful actor needs to dedicate himself to art, do you know that?"
"But director, the nudity scene is indecent, so you should keep your clothes on, right?"
"Fashionable? Category III movies are the only ones that are offensive. We call this art here! Zhao Wei, you have to understand that filming is about filming life. Have you ever seen a couple making love, make-love, and still wearing clothes? It's just naked.
It's just the upper body, I'll let the camera find the angle so you won't be exposed."
"But……"
"Nothing, but you have to learn from Zhou Xun. She is also a female star, and Zhou Xun is more famous than you. But look, why is Zhou Xun willing to leave the country naked? This is the spirit of art, and dedication to art is the way to go.
Qualified actors. "Painted Skin" is the largest production of Chinese-language films, and I hope to keep improving, okay?"
After Shao Shuaijun preached, he felt that he was forcing a girl into prostitution, and added: "Well, of course, if you really don't want to, I won't force you. Without the foreshadowing of the sex scene, the role of Pei Rong will be overshadowed, and I will consider deleting her."
Zhao Wei, please think about it carefully, for the sake of art..."
