Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 189 A powerful opponent

In fact, for movie theaters, it must be the four major first-tier cities and the major provincial capitals that are the most profitable, but Chen Hao wants to directly buy a larger theater chain.

It would be unrealistic to just buy theaters in first-tier cities and major provincial capitals, after all, no one is stupid.

Although theaters are now a burden to many local governments, many theaters that cannot sustain themselves have switched jobs and used them for other purposes.

But it is impossible to sell only the most profitable place. It must be sold together with the good and the bad. Even if the price is slightly lower, you have to sell them all.

Therefore, it is impossible for Chen Hao to only buy theaters in the four major first-tier cities and major provincial capitals.

Moreover, if they are purchased separately, they need to be negotiated on a county-by-county basis. Although Chen Hao does not need to come forward for this kind of matter, it is undoubtedly time-consuming.

With "Hero" sweeping the box office of 2.48 million yuan, and the subsequent big sales of the films of Chen Kaige and Feng Dapao, a lot of capital and hot money saw the prospect of commercial films.

At the same time, filmmakers from Xiangjiang, which are on the decline, are heading north, and the mainland film market has also begun to bottom out. The film market is bound to continue to prosper.

In addition, relevant government departments have continuously adjusted film industry policies, greatly reducing the barriers to entry for the film industry, and creating unprecedented conditions for social funds and foreign funds to enter film production and screening.

Many foreign funds that have long coveted the mainland film market are already starving and thirsty.

In addition to Sony Columbia, which Chen Hao is most familiar with, and has successively built theaters in many cities in the mainland, Warner Bros. in the United States, LOEWS, the world's third largest theater chain company, and Orion Group in South Korea.

Including Xiangjiang's Huanyu, Jiahe, Oriental Charm, etc., all have plans to enter the mainland theaters.

Domestic companies are no exception, especially Wanda and Poly, are preparing to enter the "enclosure movement" of theaters.

Therefore, although the reform of theater chains in the mainland has just begun, there is not much time left for Chen Hao to take the lead in planning.

Chen Hao had to cut through the mess quickly, otherwise it would be impossible to have the opportunity to directly own a provincial theater chain for only [-] million yuan in the future.

A little later, what needs to be paid in the future is more than ten times the capital investment and manpower and material resources.

But now, Chen Hao has a large amount of funds from Liangtianchi Films established in the United States, and the opportunity is once in a lifetime, so Chen Hao plans to directly control a province, or even a regional theater chain.

"Brother Li, I can take out [-] million for the time being, and I want to control a theater chain in a province or a large region. Do you know anyone in this area?" Chen Hao asked.

"I know him, so I can ask you first." Li Mingqiao frowned upon hearing this.

This Chen Hao is really fucking making money. It was reported that his first Hollywood film had a box office of 5500 million US dollars in the United States. Now it seems that he has made at least [-] million US dollars.

"If possible, help me focus on Suzhou Province, Modu, and Guangdong Province." Chen Hao said.

There is no doubt that in terms of economic vitality and box office potential, the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta are obviously the best.

When the national cinema chain policy was promulgated, it was clearly stipulated that before October 2002, the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Guangdong regions must have more than two theater chains. This is the strength of the developed coastal areas.

However, frontiers, snow areas and other autonomous regions can suspend the establishment of theaters, which is an obvious gap.

"Okay, I'll ask you right away." Li Mingqiao said with a smile. That's what he does, and he's very familiar with it.

"Then I'll wait for news from Brother Li." Chen Hao said.

After talking about the theater chain, Chen Hao logged on to the newly revised Qidian Chinese website, and found that the layout was very close to that of later generations, especially more friendly to readers, so he felt relieved.

Afterwards, Chen Hao directly transferred 500 million to Qidian, allowing it to vigorously promote and promote, and prepare for the launch of the VIP charging system.

"Chen Hao, what are you doing?" Xiaohu's voice came.

Chen Hao smiled when he saw Xiaohu, "I'm waiting for the ratings of "Golden Branch Desire"!"

Just as he finished speaking, Chen Hao's cell phone rang, and it was Li Ming calling.

"Brother Li, did the ratings come out?" Chen Hao asked while holding Xiaohu who wanted to kiss him.

"That's right, the results were not satisfactory. Last night's broadcast ratings broke 2, reaching 2.01%." Li Ming said.

Chen Hao raised his brows when he heard this. If the results of this broadcast were released in later generations, it would definitely be a hit drama.

But that was in the age of information explosion with the rise of various David TVs, and now it is the beginning of the century, when CCAV is the only one, the ratings are not enough to watch.

""Golden Branch Desire" is the first palace drama in China, and it has just started broadcasting. The really exciting plot has not yet begun. When the plot deepens, the ratings should increase." Chen Hao laughed.

"I hope so." Li Ming was a little lacking in confidence, after all, it was the first time for both of them to be involved in the filming of a TV series. "There is also some bad news that I forgot to tell you."

"What bad news?" Chen Hao frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Tomorrow, "Liu Laogen 2" will be broadcast on CCAV1!" Li Ming sighed.

Chen Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, unexpectedly meeting "Liu Laogen 2", this is really unlucky!

Last year, this rural comedy film launched by Benshan Media made a big splash. It scored 13.45% of the ratings at the beginning of the broadcast, creating the highest ratings record for a TV series last year.

In the end, it ranked second in the annual TV drama ratings list with an average rating of 9.7%, losing to "The Granary of the World" with an average rating of 10.6%.

Now this "Liu Laogen 2" is obviously aggressive, and it can be called a ratings giant.

In Li Ming's opinion, although "Golden Branch Desire" is the first domestic palace fighting drama, it is novel enough, and the plot is ups and downs, exciting, but it is not sure whether it can stop "Liu Laogen 2".

However, Chen Hao said with a smile, "Brother Li, I have confidence in "Golden Branch Desire", and it will definitely not be much worse than "Liu Laogen 2". Don't worry."

Li Ming smiled and shook his head when he heard this, "I also hope that "Golden Branch Desire" will be popular in the ratings!"

"Then why wait and see!" Chen Hao said.

Now that "Liu Laogen 2" has come surging, saying nothing will help, so let's wait for the result.

However, Chen Hao knew that "Golden Branch Desire" caused a craze back then. Although it didn't cause a large area to follow suit, it was indeed very popular, so he might not be afraid of "Liu Laogen 2".

The state of mind of the two is obviously different!

"What's the matter? Is the ratings bad?" Xiaohu, who shrank into Chen Hao's arms, asked worriedly.

"Not too good." Chen Hao smiled.

Seeing this, Xiaohu immediately leaned over to kiss her boyfriend, and comforted him, "It's just the broadcast, so you can't see anything. When the climax comes, everyone will like it."

Hearing this, Chen Hao couldn't help but smiled and kissed Xiaohu, "I like what you say!"

After hearing this, Xiaohu saw Chen Hao's smirk, and couldn't help punching him, you bastard!

One day passed quickly, and the second day's ratings of "Golden Branch Desire" are freshly released!
