Vol 2 Chapter 2350: Turning point at a loss?

The shadow queen's sister had said this to the point, Xiao Qi of course also understood that she wanted to meet and discuss with Cameron by herself.

"Actually, I don't care about the performance of the United States. I prefer to run the kiwi movie theater line in China." Qiao Guoer said, "husband, you can replace me and talk to Cameron to see if you can We can’t increase our box office share ratio a little bit, and then create the atmosphere of our 3D and imax theaters, don’t keep losing money!"

When he said this, Qiao Guo'er's mouth was cocked, obviously he was still very concerned about the loss of Kiwi Cinema.

Qiao Guoer is not to blame for this. If she intends to build a movie theater, especially the opening of 3d and imax theaters, the pace will not be so big at all, she would rather slowly.

But Xiao Qi knows how hot the film industry will be in the future, and where it will come slowly, it will definitely be fully rolled out.

However, the current movie market in China has not risen as fast as it did after 2010. Therefore, many movie theaters, especially the high-ticket 3d and imax movie theaters, have not had a high attendance rate, and temporary losses must exist.

Of course, Xiao Qi also gave enough money to deal with the loss, and several billion yuan was placed in Qiao Guoer's company account to slowly make up for the loss.

But losing money will make the queen sister unhappy.

∮,...especially after the purchase, after a simple renovation, adding and updating equipment, Qiao Guoer quickly entered a profit model, which made Qiao Guoer depressed about the domestic kiwi movie theater line.

Nowadays, it is rare for a director like Cameron to shoot a 3D movie "Avatar" which is said to have a shocking effect. Qiao Guoer naturally came up with the idea of ​​"Avatar".

"Oh, how did you know that "Avatar" must make money?" Xiao Qi asked Qiao Guoer in surprise.

You know, Cameron has frequently appeared in front of the media since the beginning of this year. It is hyped up the boutique 3d movie "Avatar" that he has honed for ten years.

But many people have voices of skepticism. They think that Hollywood hasn't been without 3D movies in recent years, and the effect is like this. How can it be so beautiful that people will be addicted to watching it?

The most popular director in these years is Bombshell, Sam Remy. It's Gore Wibinski... Wait, Cameron hasn't been in contact with the market for so many years. Does he still have such a keen sense of touch and such a strong box office ability?

Don't doubt, they discredited Cameron in this way, because Cameron's violent temper made the relationship between him and the media bad.

It's rare to have a chance to step on him a few feet now, and these media naturally swarmed.

Under such circumstances, many Chinese movie fans feel that "Avatar" is not very optimistic. Why is the queen sister so optimistic?

Qiao Guoer smiled when he heard the words, "Idiot husband, who is Cameron? He has always been a director of commercial films! Look at every film he made before, which has its own distinctive characteristics! It has become a 3d mode, but the connotation of the movie is still there, so I don’t believe he will fail this time."

Xiao Qi smiled and said, "You are very confident."

"I have no confidence and no way. My position is destined to support Cameron." Qiao Guoer's beautiful eyes turned: "I am the owner of the theater in China who has invested the most in 3d and imax screens, and everyone. The theater owner with a lot of money in his eyes is stupid. If Cameron’s "Avatar" succeeds, I will immediately become the most profitable theater owner. The most visionary and visionary theater owner."

"They will regret their short-sightedness one day." Xiao Qi patted his wife's buttocks and said in a serious tone.

Because of owning imax and becoming one of the owners of 3D technology, Qiao Guoer has continuously promoted these two modes of movie screens in China in the past two years.

But the screens of these two technologies are too expensive, and later upgrades and maintenance are not cheap, far less cheap and worry-free than 2d screens. Therefore, in the movie theaters in China, in addition to the dozens of theaters of the Baoyu Group, there are 3d and imax screens, and the other 3d and imax screens add up to less than one hundred.

It seems to be the same in previous lives.

As a result, it ended up during the "Avatar" global hit period. Every movie theater with 3d, imax, 3d plus imax screens has people queuing from morning to night, and they even get news from major TV stations because of this.

Those cinemas with only 2d, although the attendance rate is good, but far from being so exaggerated.

Not to mention the ticket prices and profits of several screen-screened movies, which is more than a little bit worse.

After this "Avatar", China's 3d, imax, 3d plus imax screens have continued to increase, and finally become the second largest theater group with the latest projection technology after the United States.

"I have never doubted this." Qiao Guoer also seriously said, "People who have not been to the scene to see the 3D plus imax screen, don't know how good it is to watch a movie in this environment. Cameron If his "Avatar" is as good as he preached, 3D technology movies will become mainstream in the future!

Besides, isn't Taylor's Marvel company now using 3D technology to shoot comic hero stunt movies? Such big movies are also supported by special effects, and naturally they need better viewing effects. With "Avatar" and these special effects movies taking the lead, will they be far behind when they shoot large-scale 3D blockbuster films? "

"My wife, I think that you are the president of a film and television group, you are simply a talent." Xiao Qi cupped her face, kissed and said: "With your patience, to be my full-time secretary is more than enough what!"

"Fuck you~~ I'm a good president, I'm here to serve you?" Qiao Guoer kissed his man back, but did not show weakness.

Most of the girls in Shuchuan have a little chili posture, and Qiao Guoer is no exception.

Although it is still impossible to reach it, it does not prevent Xiao Qi and Qiao Guo'er from kissing, and the two are a little moved, and they reluctantly separate.

...

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Qi met the famous James Cameron in a coffee shop of the Capital Hotel.

With him is a middle-aged man, his partner Vince Pace, and also the photographer and technical director of "Avatar".

In fact, the 3D technology company of the two of them in the previous life will only be renamed Cameron Pace Group after "Avatar" has become popular around the world, but it is already that name in this life.

James Cameron is the chairman of the board of directors of the Cameron Pace Group, and Vince Pace is the 3D and special effects team under the two men, which is the backbone of the Cameron Pace Group.

Before Xiao Jiawei and Xiao Qi came in, they had already informed James Cameron that today it will be Xiao Qi, the husband of Qiao Guoer, chairman of the Kiwi Film Group, to participate in the talks.

Cameron didn’t think about why Xiao Qi was already Qiao Guo’er’s husband before he reached the stipulated age for marriage in China, nor did he think that Mingxiang Venture Capital’s chairman Tang Mingxiang, who was rumored in the United States, also belonged to Xiao Qi’s wife. Rumor has it that his mind is only used in areas related to his business.

Even if Xiao Qi was the richest man in the world, Cameron just shook hands with Xiao Qi when he came in.

Vince Pace was more polite, and said a few more polite remarks.

Unlike the big beard that everyone remembers, James Cameron, who is 55 years old this year, has white hair, and the edges and corners of his face have become very soft, just like an ordinary kind white hair. The same as Grandpa White Beard.

Of course, Xiao Qi knew that this was just the appearance of James Cameron. When he was on the set, he was still the set tyrant who controlled everything.

"Mr. Xiao, we should have met the last time we transferred the shares, but at that time you were busy with work, so we didn't bother." Vince Pace said politely.

Xiao Qi didn't feel a little sweaty. At that time, he was not busy at work, but two wives in the United States gave birth one after another, so naturally he was very busy.

"Haha, I'm sorry, Mr. Pace, but it's not too late now!" Xiao Qi said, "It's rare for you to come to China. Take a good rest these days, take a look at the historical sites of China, and then take a look. The scale and specific configuration of our kiwi movie theater line help us think about what else can be improved!"

"it is good!"

James Cameron spoke up~www.readwn.com~ I am very interested in the kiwi cinema line. I heard that there is actually a movie theater line in China that can have more than 500 yuan of 3d, imax, 3d plus imax screens, and I have always wanted to come and have a look. How about, the profitability is not good, right? "

"Well, before many excellent 3D movies came out, naturally, not many people were willing to spend two or three times the price to watch special effects screens." Xiao Qi said naturally, "but if you are afraid of these, If we make the layout in advance, then we can't be one step ahead. 3D technology and imax technology must be the mainstream of future movies. My wife and I are convinced of this!"

"Haha, it's correct to say that, but you need a super rich like Mr. Xiao to have the confidence that you can lose two or three years without panic!" James Cameron laughed haha.

It can be seen that he admires Xiao Qi's way of doing things very much.

For a famous director like him who regards technology as more important than anything else, no collaborator like this makes him feel more suitable. (To be continued...)
