Hong Kong drama begins with Liang Kun

Chapter 126 is really you
Although there were some frictions in the middle of the negotiation with Debao, the final result was good.

In the end, Li Qiankun agreed to Debao Company's proposal to share the 12 theaters of Shaw Brothers equally with the other party. However, Qiankun Films temporarily used the reason of withdrawing from the competition to buy theaters, and instead sought to lease the four leading theaters of Shaw Brothers. .

Although these four leading theaters are Shaw's heart and soul, they are not within the scope of this sale, but since Shaw has now focused its business on TV dramas, the four leading theaters are still on hold. , it would be better to rent out to make some money.

So after some negotiations, Shaw Brothers finally agreed to sell 12 theaters to Debao Company, while the remaining four leading theaters were leased to Qiankun Films at a price of 1200 million yuan per year.

After Debao Company successfully acquired these 12 theaters, it transferred six of them to Qiankun Films at a price of 1.4 million according to the original agreement with Qiankun Films.

It's just that it hasn't been long since the purchase of Shaw's theater, and Li Qiankun's current funds are not enough, so the two parties agreed to carry out the delivery in one month.

At the same time, Play Back to School Veyron 2 was also released as scheduled,
Since it signed a distribution agreement with Golden Boar Company at the beginning, and agreed that Golden Boar Company needs to arrange the largest number of films for this movie after it is released.

So after the movie was released, the box office on the first day successfully exceeded 80 yuan. Although half a month after the release, the single-day box office began to gradually drop, but one month after the movie was released, the total box office finally succeeded in breaking through 2200 million yuan.

According to the distribution agreement signed with the Golden Boar Company, Li Qiankun is expected to receive 1100 million yuan in box office revenue and 1000 million yuan in overseas copyright buyout income.

Qiankun Pictures once again proved itself in the film market.

And because of the popularity of the movie, the episode of the movie - Queen's Road East was also widely circulated.

This song originally reflected the psychological dynamics of the residents of Hong Kong Island facing the reunification in 97. In addition, the queen of Yingguo had just signed the bill, which confirmed that Hong Kong would officially return to Huaguo in 97.

Under such a background, this song immediately received feedback from the citizens of Xiangjiang, and soon spread in Xiangjiang...

In line with this momentum, the first album of the band beyond was also officially released, and it quickly received the favor of the market.

Both records and cassettes were out of stock, so Li Qiankun had no choice but to let the company continue to increase circulation to meet the market's demand for the works of the band beyond.

So beyond immediately became a band that quickly became popular in early 1986, and had great potential to become a hot superstar.

So at the celebration banquet of Play Back To School Veyron 2, Li Qiankun specially brought the members of the beyond band to the hotel, on the one hand to let them meet the world, and on the other hand to show the guests his strength.

At the celebration banquet, several persons in charge of the Golden Boar Company also arrived as scheduled,
After meeting and greeting each other, many people turned to communicate with other cast members.

Only Maijia and Huang Baiming were left beside Li Qiankun.

Seeing that there was no one around, Huang Baiming asked in a low voice, "Li Sheng, I heard that you recently rented Shaw's theater. It seems that you plan to set up your own theater company."

Li Qiankun glanced at the other party, smiled and said: "More than that! In addition to renting the four leading theaters, I also bought six theaters from Shaw Brothers. You don't know about this, do you?"

"Li Sheng, you're fast enough." Maijia also stared at Li Qiankun at this moment, her eyes full of helplessness.

Li Qiankun shook his head and said, "I can't help it. I can't be sucked by your Golden Boar Company all the time. Don't you think so?"

When Maijia and Huang Baiming heard this, they immediately glanced at each other, and then they raised their glasses and smiled at Li Qiankun:

"Li Sheng really knows how to joke, we are usually vegetarian."

"In this case, I hope we can cooperate in the future."

Seeing how generous the two were, Li Qiankun also raised his wine glass and clinked glasses with each other.

It's just that when these two people put the wine glasses to their mouths and were about to drink, the smiles on their faces disappeared immediately, and even a trace of anger flashed in their eyes.

But even so, when they finished drinking, they still kept bright smiles on their faces, and claimed to maintain a cooperative relationship with Qiankun Films in the future.

It's just that Li Qiankun knew that these words were just for occasion, and the so-called cooperation was almost impossible.

You know, in today's world, in this era, the competition between Xiangjiang's film companies that own their own theaters can be said to be fierce.

Just like the movies made by the Golden Boar Company, they are usually only released in their own theaters, and it is unlikely that they will be screened in Golden Harvest. Otherwise, wouldn't it be equivalent to sharing a good piece of cake with others?
Moreover, if a film company makes a blockbuster movie, it can not only make money for itself by showing it only in its own theaters, but also take advantage of the trend to attack competitors, reducing the number of theater customers of rivals,

After all, during the same period of time, the number of people watching a movie is fixed, so if the movie of this theater chain attracts a large number of audiences, the theater chains of other companies will naturally be hit.

Therefore, once Qiankun Pictures has its own theater chain, it will become a competitive relationship with Golden Boar in the future. The two parties will inevitably compete with each other through their works in the film market in the future, and then suppress each other's theater resources.

Then the opportunity for the two parties to cooperate in the future is almost unlikely to appear.

Unless there are other powerful opponents that make Qiankun Pictures and Golden Boar join forces to fight against the enemy, otherwise, the two sides will always maintain this state of competition.

As a time traveler, Li Qiankun has countless movie scripts in his mind, so as long as he has his own theater chain, he will not have to worry about not having good works to compete in the market in the future.

Therefore, even if a powerful overlord appears in the market in the future, it is likely to be Li Qiankun himself, and it is unlikely to be another company.

So to join forces, it is for other companies to unite and share theater resources for the other party, Qiankun Pictures, and it is unlikely that Qiankun Pictures will cooperate with other companies.

One month later, Li Qiankun gathered all the funds and paid off the purchase of the six theaters from Debao Company.

And began to vigorously integrate its theaters, intending to build a theater company that can stand in Xiangjiang.

Because of the current Xiangjiang, apart from Shaw Brothers, several other large theater companies are basically operating in the mode of combining their own theaters, leased and cooperative theaters to form a theater company.

Therefore, Li Qiankun also intends to build a large cinema company through a similar model.

In addition to the four leased theaters, Li Qiankun also has six newly acquired theaters, as well as the theater transformed from a boxing gym.

The four leading theaters leased have a total of about 6000 seats, while the seven self-owned theaters have a total of more than 7 seats.

In addition, through a series of negotiations, Li Qiankun signed a cooperation agreement with some independent theater owners in the market, promising to provide a movie every month for these partners to release from April. If this amount of film is supplied, the other party needs to be compensated for the corresponding losses.

This kind of filming speed actually puts a lot of pressure on Qiankun Films. After all, it takes a month to finish filming a film and reach the level where it can be released. The work is very stressful.

But there is no way around this. After all, once every theater opens, it needs stable film productions as a guarantee for its operation.
Based on the fact that the average release period of a movie on the market is one month, this number is actually just a normal requirement.

Fortunately, besides Zhang Guoxing, the current director of Qiankun Films also has the newly joined Liu Jialiang, a big star.

Coupled with the countless movie scripts in Li Qiankun's mind, it is actually very simple to complete a movie every month.

Under such cooperation conditions, a total of 8 theaters signed a cooperation agreement with Qiankun Films to form a new Qiankun Cinema Co., Ltd.

Therefore, today's Qiankun Cinemas has a total of 19 theater resources, with a total of 5 seats. According to the number of 8-[-] shows per theater per day, it is enough to meet market demand.

Since then, Qiankun Films has officially entered the ranks of the four major theater companies in Hong Kong, and has the capital on par with other large film companies.

After all, the other four cinema companies are operating in the same way as Qiankun Pictures.

Just like Golden Harvest, there are 19 theaters, and a small part of them are linked together through leases and partnerships.

This is especially the case for Golden Boar recently. Only a small part of its theaters are its own property rights, and the rest are also cooperating through this model.

Therefore, in order to ensure that Qiankun Cinemas can have a sufficient number of film products online in the future, Li Qiankun needs to immediately arrange more scripts to be put into shooting.

Guangzhou Xingchi was alone, so Li Qiankun arranged two movies for him to shoot,

The first one is the Tricky Expert, which has been set long ago. In addition to Zhou Xingchi playing the male number one Gu Jing, Li Qiankun insisted that Watson play the role of Che Wenjie played by Dehua in the original version.

In this movie, there are still two main actresses to be determined. Among them, the role of Cheng Leer, who has a heavy role, is naturally handed over to Wang Zuzhen by Li Qiankun, and the role of Banana Fung played by Qiu Shuzhen in the other original version , Li Qiankun handed it over to Zhang Meirun who has been training in acting in Qiankun Films but has never officially acted in any role.

In this way, Li Qiankun may be able to add two well-known actors to Qiankun Films through the movie Tricky Expert.

In another movie, Li Qiankun plans to shoot New Fist of Fury, in which Liu Jing is played by Zhou Xingchi, of course, and the heroine is still played by Wang Zuzhen, needless to say.

Don't ask why this arrangement is made, it is to pave the way for my girlfriend's acting career!

As for the other roles in these two films, all the contracted actors in Qiankun Films will naturally join in, such as Dafei, Shisanmei and Jin Baliang, etc., will naturally join the cast. There is a lot to play.

As a result, Zhou Xingchi started to work temporarily, but Li Qiankun also realized that Qiankun Pictures could not meet the demand of one movie a month with Zhou Xingchi alone.

So now he still needs to continue to sign some powerful artists for the company, otherwise the scripts in his mind will not be able to shoot them for a while.

On this day, when Li Qiankun went out for a stroll at night, he found a group of people forming a large circle not far away, as if they were watching something lively.

Li Qiankun is idle anyway, how can he miss the excitement,

So he also walked over, wanting to see what strange things or people this group of people were looking at.

Since this was in Mong Kok, many people knew Li Qiankun. When everyone saw Li Qiankun walking with his younger brother, they immediately gave way to a passage so that Li Qiankun could go to the front of the crowd smoothly.

"What's so interesting here? It's worth all of you being here?" After Li Qiankun saw that there was only one man with a street stall in the crowd, his heart immediately became cold. If it is not, he doesn't mind spending money to solve the other party's difficulties, and it would be great to let the other party agree with him by the way.

But such a big man really disappointed Li Qiankun.

"Brother Kun, don't you know who this guy is?" When the younger brothers heard Li Qiankun's question, they rushed to respond immediately. From their tone, Li Qiankun began to feel curious. After all, such an ordinary street vendor How could this guy make the younger brothers think that they should know each other.

Li Qiankun took a closer look, only to realize that the guy in front of him was a character who had appeared in countless Hong Kong movies.

It's just that this world is too complicated, and many people's looks are somewhat similar, just like Hong Jinbao who I met recently, he is quite similar to Lian Haolong, which makes people feel like I saw the same difference between Wang Leehom and Li Zhiting.

So in order to ensure that he would not admit his mistake, Li Qiankun still asked tentatively: "Are you?"

The man raised his head and glanced at Li Qiankun, with a surprised expression on his face. At the same time, he seemed to be guessing whether the person in front of him who claimed to not know him really didn't know him or was playing tricks on him.

But after a moment of confirmation, the man smiled slowly and responded, "Hi, I'm Liang Jiahui."

"It really is you!" Li Qiankun also responded with a look of sudden realization.
