The superstar starts from the creation camp

Chapter 377 Muzi Theater.

A total of 53 theaters opened in the first phase of Hualan Cinemas, and 72 theaters will be put into construction or planned to be built later. It seems that there are very few theaters, but in fact it is already a force to be reckoned with. Since then, Li Mu has also played from the end The player of the ball has completed the transformation of the decision maker who makes the rules.

Of course, because Li Mu is relatively low-key and rarely appears in front of the stage, the current CEO of Hualan Cinemas, Xia Yu, who has more contacts with people in the circle, has also completely come to the stage.

As for the work of the cinema, Xia Yu is actually already familiar with it. When he was a producer, he had the most dealings with the crew and the cinema. Of course, he has been made things difficult by the cinema these years, and now he suddenly turned over and became the master. , Xia Yu also really experienced the thrill of being a "master".

Although the source of the film is shared with Huayi, Huayi only has the right to make suggestions, not the right to make decisions. This theater chain is absolutely controlled by Li Mu, so in order to get more films, some film and television companies naturally have to fight with Xia Yu relation.

"Oh, Mr. Xia, you have reached the sky in one step. Brother is still flopping in the mud. This time, you have to help brother no matter what." The person who came was also a producer of a film and television company. We have known each other before, but everyone was a producer before, and there was a sense of sympathy for each other. Who would have thought that the same suffering as myself before, haha, suddenly became my own party A?

Xia Yu was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he didn't show any signs of expression, and he also poured bitter water: "Oh, brother Qian, don't bully me, what do I have to do with more than 50 small theaters? If you want to get When it comes to high box office, we have to find Huayi."

Qian Hao cursed inwardly, this person is so fickle, as expected, his ass decides his head. Before, the two of them were drinking together and scolding Huayi for being a bad guy, but now it's his turn.

"Mr. Xia, look at what you said, there are more than 50 movie theaters, and Huayi only has more than 300 theaters. We celebrities don't speak secretly, why don't you offer a price?"

Xia Yu smiled and said nothing. The theater chain has just been established. If he makes small moves in this regard, once Li Mu finds out, he finally survived. Wouldn't it be necessary to return to the pre-liberation overnight?And to be honest, he is now a billionaire no matter what, he really doesn't care about the kickback Qian Hao gave.

"Mr. Qian, you are asking me to make a mistake. Don't mention it. Let me tell you the truth. The theater chain is still a start-up. It doesn't have the ability to arrange films independently. I can't afford it if something goes wrong. So you should work hard on Huayi."

Qian Hao left in disappointment, but Xia Yu's troubles were not over. There were film and television companies coming to seek cooperation one after another. Xia Yu didn't offend him. He just reasoned that he had no autonomy for the time being. Contact information, indicating that they can cooperate again in the future. Although the person who came here did not achieve the goal, at least both parties did not talk to death.

The most important thing is that the film and television companies seem to be very powerful, holding the power of life and death of directors and actors, but in fact, they are nothing in front of the theaters. No matter how good your movie is, it is useless if it is not broadcast by the theaters.

Although very few people would really reject a movie that makes money, it is based on the obedience of the film and television company. If you dare to stab?try it?

Unless it is at the level of the National Teacher, not only can he directly negotiate with the theaters on the share ratio, but even directly raise the ticket price, Zhang Weiping even opened his mouth to block a certain theater, which is extremely arrogant, but it is a pity that he is nothing if he leaves the National Teacher up.

There is only one national teacher in Huaxia, so for film and television companies, the theater chain is still a behemoth they cannot resist, and it is natural to curry favor.

Li Mu concentrated all the theaters in third- and fourth-tier cities because the theater market in these places is not yet saturated. Of course, location selection is also very important. He has on-site inspections for all theaters under construction and planned construction. Basically never went home.

In order to set up a theater chain, Li Mu not only emptied his entire family, but even used the funds obtained from the studio’s financing, a total of 180 billion. Li Mu also joked with Wang Ziwen that if they fail this time, they will go back to ten years ago overnight. up.

Before Wang Ziwen could speak, Li Ruilan said in surprise: "Go back to ten years ago, I'm only five years old now, wouldn't I be gone? Papa is bad, do you not like me anymore?"

At that time, Li Mu was amused, and Wang Ziwen also teased the little girl: "Yes, without you, it's so noisy every day." Then he succeeded in making the little girl cry, and Li Mu comforted her for a while before breaking through her tears and laughing.

After nearly a year of construction, all 72 theaters built by Hualan Cinemas in the later period have also been put into use. In just two years, the construction of 125 theaters has been completed, which has caused quite a stir in the circle.

Of course, what attracted Li Mu's attention the most was a cinema in Shanghai, which is also the benchmark flagship store of Hualan Cinema Line. This cinema alone cost Li Mu 1.37 million and took a year and a half to complete.

At the same time, this is also Li Mu’s ideal premiere theater for the studio’s films. The theater has two floors, a total of 2 screening halls, of which there are three IMAX giant screen halls, and all other halls can play 3D, 3D movies, but considering that the audience is temporarily open four [-]D theaters.

The opening ceremony of "Muzi Theater" was very pompous, all the artists under the company were present, it was a star-studded scene, Liang Hongfei was drooling looking at the giant screen theater, he dreamed of making a 3D giant screen movie like this.

"How is it? Not bad?" Li Mu patted Liang Hongfei on the shoulder.

Liang Hongfei didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment, he just nodded dully, and Yu Peipei jumped up in anger.

Of course, the happiest person present was Li Ruilan, because she was watching cartoons on the IMAX giant screen, which she had asked for for a long time. This short animation is actually the latest concept version of Xianxia animation released by Animation Workshop. It was an entry in the film festival and won many awards.

Everyone looked at the little girl who was fascinated by it, and didn't know what to say for a while, isn't this too lucky?
Li Mu leaned in front of his daughter, trying to gain her approval: Look, this is what Dad built for you.

It's a pity that the daughter didn't appreciate it very much, she was still staring at the big screen, and she even disliked him for making too much noise. Well, the pretense failed, so Li Mu could only watch cartoons with her daughter.

The cartoon was finally over, and the little girl had a chance to meet Li Mu: "Papa, what did you just say?"

"Uh, it's nothing, as long as you are happy." Li Mu replied dryly, feeling disappointed in his heart.
