Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1134 Schedule Allocation (I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day!)
In terms of the number of theaters, after years of development, New Oriental has stabilized at 24, Golden Harvest has [-], Dibao Cinemas has [-], and the remaining successful theaters have [-].

From the perspective of the quality of theaters, New Oriental still ranks first, and it is a well-deserved number one.

Lin Daoqiu's investment in theaters over the years can be said to be more than the other three combined.

The theater equipment is updated almost every year, not to mention that Xintiandi can even be said to be the most advanced theater with the best facilities in Asia.

The price of this theater alone, if a 6000% premium is added, has already reached as much as [-] million.

Because Pan Disheng bought the original Shaw Cinemas from Golden Harvest and also carried out some updates, the quality is slightly better than Golden Harvest.

As for Golden Harvest, although the theater chain’s infrastructure is a little worse than that of New Oriental and Dibao, it can still stabilize the success of the theater chain.

The four theaters add up to a total of 76, and the highest single-day box office limit has reached 950 million.

If movie ticket prices continue to rise next year, the single-day box office limit of the new theaters will reach a terrifying 1000 million.

But this kind of thing is impossible even if you think about it. After all, except for blockbuster movies like "Godzilla", basically no movie can win the full-line premiere of the new theaters.

"Mr. Shao, what name do you plan to name the new theater?"

Lin Daoqiu wanted to know what name Run Run Shaw planned to name the new cinema.

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Run Run Shaw smiled slightly.

"I think the name Xiangjiang Cinemas is quite good, so I plan to continue using it."

Hearing Run Run Shaw's words, Lin Daoqiu was stunned for half a second, then he nodded without saying anything.

Others were a little surprised when they heard that Run Run Shaw was going to name the new theater circuit as Heung Kong Cinemas.

As for his intentions in doing so, no one present could figure it out.

But it's just a name, it's not a big deal, the most important thing is that Run Run Shaw didn't unite with Lin Daoqiu, this is the most important thing for Zou Wenhuai and the others.

"I hope that everyone will work together in the future to push Xiangjiang Films into a brand new future, and I will do my best to provide you with more help."

Run Run Shaw has returned to that domineering sixth uncle. After all, he is now almost determined to control more than [-]% of the theaters in Xiangjiang.

"Uncle Six, what I want to know is, how will the future schedule be arranged? This is what I am most concerned about now."

The problem of schedule is not only Pan Disheng's worry, but also the most concerned thing for everyone present.

Fortunately, they can't own theater chains and film production companies at the same time, so they don't have to worry that Run Run Shaw will shift the schedule to his own films.

Among the three film companies present, New Oriental is undoubtedly the strongest, followed by Dibao, and finally Golden Harvest.

If it is divided according to strength, New Oriental will undoubtedly get more schedules, followed by Di Bao and Golden Harvest the least.

"If Mr. Pan has any good ideas, it's better to tell them and listen to them. It's rare for everyone to get together, so we should discuss this matter carefully."

Run Run Shaw wanted to know what Pan Disheng thought.

"Since Uncle Six asked, I'll just say it straight. Right now, there are only three powerful film companies in Xiangjiang. I think it's fairer to divide the schedule into three equally."

After Pan Disheng finished speaking, Run Run Shaw just smiled. He knew very well that Pan Disheng was in the kind of situation where he could stand and talk without pain in his back.

Because regardless of the average distribution or the division by strength, Di Bao will be in the middle position, neither more nor less.

The reason why he asked for an even distribution of schedules was more for the sake of Jiahe.

If they were divided according to strength at that time, then New Oriental would undoubtedly get more slots. As his ally, Golden Harvest would definitely get the least, which Pan Disheng didn't want to see.

"What do you think, Mr. Lin?"

Run Run Shaw didn't say yes or no, but turned around and asked Lin Daoqiu.

"I think the box office speaks for the schedule. If the movies are released at the same time, the number of shows will be increased or reduced according to the box office of the first three days. What does Uncle Six think?"

Lin Daoqiu's proposal obviously has absolute confidence in himself.

However, judging from the standard of New Oriental's film production and box office revenue, Lin Daoqiu does have the capital to be proud of.

"How do you two feel?"

Run Run Shaw turned around and asked Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng for their opinions.

It can be said that Lin Daoqiu's proposal is absolutely fair and speaks entirely on strength.

But if Run Run Shaw wants to play tricks at that time, it is not impossible. He can put the other two films in leading theaters, and then distribute Lin Daoqiu's films to other theaters that are not very good.

But Run Run Shaw obviously wouldn't do this, because it would only anger Lin Daoqiu, and even Run Run Shaw couldn't predict what kind of consequences it would cause.

"Mr. Lin really has enough confidence in himself."

Pan Disheng sneered.

"Mr. Pan, I really don't have any rivals in the film industry. If Mr. Pan is capable, then I can try it."

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Pan Disheng's face suddenly pulled down.

Last year, Dibao Cinemas had a chance to beat Xiangjiang Cinemas in the Spring Festival, but it was a pity that Zeng Zhiwei had a tragic ending during the Spring Festival, which led to Dibao's hatred and lost a great opportunity to beat Lin Daoqiu .

Looking back now, Pan Disheng still feels very unwilling.

"Okay, since Mr. Lin has said so, then I support Mr. Lin's proposal and use the box office to speak."

Pan Disheng couldn't think of a better way. If he still insisted on evenly distributing the schedule at this time, once the news got out, wouldn't it make people think that he was afraid of Lin Daoqiu? Pan Disheng absolutely couldn't bear it.

Zou Wenhuai shook his head secretly in his heart, Pan Disheng's choice was undoubtedly in the hands of Lin Daoqiu.

But the matter has come to this point, and he has no better choice. According to the box office strength, it may be the only best way now, but it is not good for Golden Harvest.

"Wen Huai, is there anything you want to say?"

"No, since Mr. Lin and Mr. Pan have said so, I think this matter can be settled like this."

Zou Wenhuai shook his head. The first thing he has to consider now is not the issue of schedule, but how to strengthen Jiahe's strength.
