Island Tycoon

Chapter 176 Theater Management
"Ah!" After waking up, Ye Jingcheng shook his head desperately, trying to release the alcohol in his brain.

After the headache subsided a little, his eyes fell on the single corner of the quilt that was uncovered on the side, and his expression looked a bit confused, as if he didn't have much impression of what happened last night.

"Ah Cheng, are you up?" At the door of the bathroom, Zheng Wenya came out wearing a towel, apparently ready to take a bath.

"Aya, why are you here?" Ye Jingcheng's memory began to be confused. Although he was drunk last night, he still didn't have any memory left.The woman who was pulled into the room by him was obviously not the Zheng Wenya in front of him.

"You have the nerve to say that you woke up people with a big phone call in the middle of the night, and you threw up all over me when I came over." Zheng Wenya was in a happy mood with a hint of complaint.

"Then did I...?" Ye Jingcheng asked uncertainly.

"No, you slept like a dead pig as soon as I came here." Zheng Wenya said very simply.She naturally knew what the other party was referring to, but the facts were indeed as she said.

After finishing speaking, Zheng Wenya put her hair up, put on a waterproof hood, and walked into the bathroom.Leaving Ye Jingcheng alone to think, and began to try to restore the whole incident.

First of all, it was Zheng Wenya's thoughtfulness to herself at the banquet, which caused him to subconsciously call the other party after he was drunk.And Zheng Wenya should have arrived in the second half of the night, as for the woman in the first half of the night...

Ye Jingcheng looked at the environment where he was. At this time, the sun was already high, and the sunlight shone into the room through the drawn curtains.While making Ye Jingcheng feel warm, he also found a reflective spot beside the bed.

He touched it casually, and the first thing he got was a white button. With just one button, he was Sherlock Holmes, and he might not be able to deduce the woman from last night.Fortunately, there is another item.

"This is...?" A string of platinum necklaces appeared in his hand, and the pendant in the middle of the necklace was in the shape of a paper airplane, which Ye Jingcheng felt very familiar with.

"It's really her!?"

Could it be her?When Ye Jingcheng thought of the beautiful woman who went to the banquet, he really thought about it day by day, and at night... he gave her up?But there is something strange about it. It stands to reason that she should go home after the banquet, so why would she open a room in the hotel?
At this time, there was a sound of water being drained from the bathroom, and Ye Jingcheng put away the necklace.What happened last night, is he Nan Keyimeng?Or was it a rare confusion?
……

Back to Blue Lantern Entertainment.

The company is extraordinarily noisy today, not because of the buzz of people, but because of the noise generated by some tools.

The reason is that the company has moved to a new office location, and the ten-thousand-square-foot office building that Ye Jingcheng took over on this floor is currently under renovation in full swing.

Having said that, the rent here is really not cheap, although it has something to do with the proximity to Mount Wutai.But the monthly rent of 12W is not unreasonably high.

The biggest problem is that the housing prices have soared since the beginning of the year. From the average housing price of [-] yuan per square foot last year, to the selling price of thousands of yuan per square foot now, it has almost doubled. How about the rent? How can it not rise.

Ye Jingcheng thought about buying the entire building directly, and now he does have such financial resources.But on a deeper level, he already has two commercial centers under construction, so there is no need to give money to others, and he will move out in half a year at most.

Moreover, although the real estate market has been rising frequently, Ye Jingcheng knows that these are the surface of the real estate market, and the major adjustments in the real estate market have already shown signs.

The splendor of the real estate market will last for at most half a year, after which the industrial land will fall first, and then the real estate market will undergo a full adjustment.Furthermore, due to the opportunity of Mrs. Thatcher's visit to China, the decline in land and property prices was exacerbated, and the real estate market collapsed.

Therefore, Ye Jingcheng seemed to be making a fortune from it, and this time the layout was the best time.

Having said that, the company's new location has become more decent, and the environment has become spacious and bright.But the matters waiting for Ye Jingcheng to deal with were one after another.

In just one morning, there were several documents on his desk waiting to be reviewed, and the most related issue was the theater circuit.

Ye Jingcheng now finally understands what Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai did. A cinema chain is far from easy to manage as he imagined.

Shao Yifu's hegemony, Zou Wenhuai's fake accounts, these actions are not due to their character problems, but if these things do not have special means, or if they are not handled properly, it is likely to put the theaters in crisis.

There are ten theaters under the name of Nanguo Cinemas, with nearly 70 seats.If the attendance rate is [-]%, the daily box office can reach [-] million.

It looks like a lot, but it’s only 2000 million a month.What's more, there are various expenses and costs that have not been calculated.

On the other hand, there are about four or five movies released in theaters a month. For example, a highly recommended movie like "Looking for a Husband and Jackie Chan" can probably grab [-]% of the total revenue.

As for the other films, their release cannot seize the market from other theaters, and even affect the peripheral income of the theater during the release period.

Because the scale of the ten theaters is too small.Even if the films are arranged 24 hours a day, there are only so many benefits that can be calculated, and it is not possible to seize the market with just one fierce film.

To use a simpler description, Ye Jingcheng had a big meal in front of him, but he was full by himself, and now he couldn't put it in his stomach if he wanted to eat it.The question he has to consider now is how to arrange the film sources reasonably.

"Garbage movies will only make the theater lose money, and high-quality movies can't show their power." Ye Jingcheng sighed.

The upper and lower limits of the two are between 500 million and 500 million.Ye Jingcheng doesn't need to think about the lower limit, because he doesn't need to worry about his movie not being a hit.

But in terms of the upper limit, theaters must maintain the enthusiasm of the audience. It is best to have two major films a month.

If you throw this question to others, it is estimated that it will drive a person crazy.Compared with others, Ye Jingcheng's advantage is too obvious, that is, he has hundreds of thousands of classic Hong Kong movies in his mind.

Ye Jingcheng changed his mind, thinking about what kind of film is suitable for him. "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" seems to be quite suitable for the current situation, but unfortunately the subject matter involves too many political issues.

"Four-Eyed Boy", "Big Size Bad", "Flying Man"?The box office of movies is around 1000 million, but although movies at this level are more than enough, it is not enough to show that the movie itself is not too brilliant.

"If it doesn't work, just shoot a major movie. As long as it's hot enough to run continuously for a month, the theater's reputation and income won't be greatly affected." In the end, Ye Jingcheng found a compromise.
