Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 505 Girl Groups and Variety Shows

After Chen Hao got a satisfactory answer, he left Huaying. There is still a lot of preparatory work to be done before the new film is shot.

First of all, there is the issue of shooting location. This sci-fi film will be shot in an "empty city". Although it is cheaper to use a studio, it is better to shoot on the spot for the sake of reality.

This is also an opportunity to present mainland cities to the world, so first-tier cities must be the first choice!
Chen Hao originally wanted to shoot in the imperial capital, but it was unrealistic to think about it. As the capital, it is not easy to block off the streets and bridges to shoot, and more importantly, the renderings are in a state of decay.

Therefore, Chen Hao set his first choice in Shanghai, which is the most developed city in the Mainland and also the best window for the Mainland to face the world.

What is needed now is to communicate with the government to see if cooperation can be reached.

In addition, there are troops and weapons in the movie, such as helicopters, etc. This also requires negotiation with the troops to see what level of weapons they can buy.

There are also issues such as actors, in short, the preparations for the new film can already start!

……

Just when Chen Hao left Huaying, Warner Brothers issued a statement announcing their complete withdrawal from the mainland cinema market!
Within a few months, Warner Bros. sold 75% of the equity of Jinling Demon Warner to Chen Hao, and Yongsheng Film City in Shanghai was sold to Shanghai United, a subsidiary of Shanghai Demon.

As for the "WB" movie theater logo in Wanda Plaza, they have also been removed and replaced with "WD"!
This is the impact of the policy that foreign investment in theaters in the mainland can only hold a maximum of 49%. It can be said that it has greatly dampened the investment enthusiasm of foreign investors. Paramount and other Hollywood giants who wanted to enter the mainland were scared away.

However, not all foreign investors have dispelled their enthusiasm for investment, and Sony Columbia has become firm and will not withdraw.

The South Korean Seagate Group's CGV is also planning to enter the mainland in 2006, and it is Chen Hao who finds the boss.

After Chen Hao returned to the company, he saw the news immediately. After all, there was only a strip of water. Obviously, Sony in the island country and CGV in South Korea knew better about China's development in recent years.

It is also clear how terrifying the interests of this huge market are.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhong Zhengzhong from Shanghai Metropolis United Cinemas called before and wanted to ask you to meet!" Xiaoying knocked on the door and said solemnly.

Chen Hao was taken aback when he heard the words, "So polite!"

Xiaoying immediately rolled her eyes when she heard the words, "During working hours, be serious!"

"Okay, you said Mr. Zhong from Shanghai Metropolitan United Cinemas invited me to meet? When?" Chen Hao asked.

"This Sunday morning at 09:30!" Xiaoying replied.

Chen Hao frowned slightly when he heard that, he and Shanghai United Cinemas had always been in a competitive relationship.

Haotian Cinemas and Shanghai United Cinemas are the two largest theaters in Shanghai, but the box office performance of Haotian Cinemas in Shanghai is still a bit behind that of United.

After all, Modu is the headquarters of Moying, and Haotian Cinemas has only built a flagship store on the basis of the acquisition of Daguangming Cinemas, so it has always been at a disadvantage.

However, now that the two have become the only two shareholders of Jinling Magic Shadow Warner Cinemas, it can be regarded as a cooperation.

"Did you say what it is?" Chen Hao asked.

"It's just a matter of cooperation, but I didn't go into details." Xiaoying said.

"Okay, remember to inform me when the time comes." Chen Hao nodded.

Just after finishing speaking, Chen Hao's cell phone rang, and it turned out to be Sun Yizhen calling.

"Yizhen, do you miss me?" Chen Hao smiled.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoying immediately bowed her head and scolded the scumbag in a low voice, then went out.

"Of course I do, when will you come to South Korea again?" Son Yejin said softly.

"Well, if I have time, I will go there." Chen Hao said awkwardly when he heard the words, how could he have so much time to go to South Korea!
"Okay!" Son Yezhen said in a little silence, "By the way, our boss asked me to pass on a message to you."

"Oh?" Chen Hao frowned upon hearing this.

"The boss promised to sell you the company's shares, but he has to keep 20% of the shares and retain the position of general manager. The price is 300 million yuan!" Sun Yizhen said.

300 million yuan is not much, but if it is converted into Nanyuan, it is 5 million yuan, which sounds quite scary.

The MSE company Son Ye-jin works for is a small company with no substantial assets, just a few artists like Son Ye-jin, not to mention that Son Ye-jin is far from reaching her peak at this time.

Moreover, the degree of attention paid to artists in South Korea is much different from that of mainland artists. Their status is far inferior to that of mainland artists, and many of them are even miserable.

Especially for those trainees, like leeks, they are harvested one crop after another, so MES without popular artists is not very valuable.

"No problem." Chen Hao nodded directly, "You can also take the position of deputy general manager or artist director, it's safer."

Sun Yizhen warmed up when she heard the words, "Thank you!"

"Okay, you reply to your boss and I agree, and then I will send the money and attach a plan." Chen Hao said.

"I see." Sun Yizhen nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao began to think about the plan he mentioned just now.

Regarding South Korea, Chen Hao was actually not very familiar with it in his previous life, but he had heard of the Nanliu sweeping East and Southeast Asia.

Chen Hao knew that Nanliu had the biggest influence on China should be idols, southern dramas and variety shows!

And what Chen Hao values ​​most is the girl groups in idols, and variety shows!

Even Chen Hao, who is not very interested in girl groups, has heard of Girls' Generation, Crown, Wonder Girls and other girl groups.

The influence of these idols can be called terrifying, which can be seen from the fact that the four returnees have become top traffic as soon as they return to China.

Therefore, a girl group is definitely in the plan.

Another variety show is also one of Chen Hao's first hobbies, and I believe there are countless variety show fans in China.

And it can be said that more than 90.00% of Huaxia's variety show fans started from watching South Korean variety shows.

"Love Letter", "Xman", "Running Man", "Two Days One Night", "Infinite Challenge" and so on, should be the enlightenment and favorite variety shows of many variety show fans.

The popularity of variety shows is also one of the important factors for Nanliu to be able to run rampant in Asia, especially the mainland variety shows started late, most of the variety shows were purchased from the copyright of South Korean variety shows, and then localized, which also opened the era of variety shows for all .

But now in 2005, the mainland entertainment industry has not yet entered the golden period, and the development of the Internet has not yet fully emerged, and there is no good environment for the development of variety shows.

However, South Korea has made great strides in the development of variety shows, and "Love Letter" and "Xman" have already been broadcast.

Chen Hao thought that MSE could produce popular variety shows and develop the company. At the same time, when the era of variety shows in the mainland comes, it will be much easier to obtain copyrights. It is completely left-handed and right-handed.

Moreover, the earning power of popular variety shows even exceeds that of TV dramas and movies. Chen Hao in his previous life also has a deep understanding, he is completely a cash cow!
So girl groups and variety shows are a must!
