Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Regarding theater chains, Nie Wei has maintained steady development before. Now Fanxing Cinema Line has ten directly affiliated theater chains and 26 franchised theater chains, covering 12 cities across the country. With one hundred and ten screens, it is a medium-sized theater in the country.

In just over a year, it is actually quite good to be able to achieve such results. The key factor is that Fanxing Cinemas is very strict in the review of franchises. To achieve such a scale can be said to be an excellent answer.

But Nie Wei is satisfied, but not satisfied, especially with the theater chains directly under his own control. He feels that it is time to speed up the construction.

So a while ago, he discussed with Zhou Aiguo to launch an acceleration plan in the second half of this year to directly start construction of 20 theaters, and strive to have Star Cinema covering most major cities in the country.

These twenty theaters will also add 120 screens to Fanxing Cinemas. Counting the previous 110 screens, the number of screens for Fanxing Cinemas will reach 230 after the completion of this plan. , which can be considered a first-class theater chain in China so far.

"I have reserved the land a long time ago. With the funds in place, we can start construction at any time. However, I have a question. Why do you have to leave such a large reserved screening hall in your theater design? If you use this reserved area The remaining screening halls can be slightly modified to provide two more screening rooms for each theater," Zhou Aiguo asked.

"That's right, Uncle Zhou, have you ever heard of 3D movies?" Nie Wei asked.

"A movie is just a movie, what else is there to say about 3D? Haha."

Looking at the big and small Zhou Aiguo, Nie Wei obviously saw that this uncle really didn't understand this aspect of things.

"3D movies are a new technology, just like games. 2D games can only keep the vision on the surface, just like all the movies we watch now, even those Hollywood blockbusters, but 3D movies are different, with special Equipment, it can make moviegoers feel as if they are in the movie environment, and all the people and things that happen in the movie are just like happening in front of their eyes..."

Nie Wei spent half an hour explaining 3D movies to Zhou Aiguo, popularizing his knowledge in this area, and also expressed his optimism for movies in this mode.

"In fact, 3D movies have already appeared abroad, and they were very early. In the 1920s, it was called "The Power of Love."

"So early." Zhou Aiguo was a little surprised. He had heard Nie Wei say so much and thought it was a very high-tech movie, but he didn't expect it to be available so early. He didn't know much about the history of movies and even doubted it. Will there be a movie in that era? After all, it is more than 80 years ago and it is too long ago.

"It is indeed very early, but this is just circulated. Because no image data has been handed down, it has been questioned by some people. The 3D movie that was really recognized was "African Adventure" in 1952. At that time, this movie was very good. The box office became the first wave of 3D movie craze.”

"But why didn't it last?" Zhou Aiguo grasped the key point. Since 3D movies are better than 2D movies, why is it so difficult to watch 3D movies now?

"All this actually stems from the differences in times and the audience's acceptance."

"Speaking of this kind of 3D movie, which types of movies do you think are the most suitable?" Nie Wei asked.

"Perhaps those science fiction blockbusters? And...and those ghost movies. They will definitely be shocked when they suddenly appear." Zhou Aiguo thought for a while and replied, and Nie Wei nodded.

"Ghost movies, also known as supernatural movies, were presented in 3D and really frightened the audiences at that time. This was a very bad influence at that time, so 3D movies that had entered their golden development period were suppressed under various policies. It gradually declined," Nie Wei explained.

"That's it." Zhou Aiguo nodded in agreement.

Sometimes policies really have a great impact on a project. Let’s not talk about movies, but just take the real estate industry he is engaged in. It can be said that it is closely related to policies. After the above policy, real estate values ​​will have huge changes. The most obvious It’s the land on Jeju Island. It can be said that one moment Zhou Aiguo was on the verge of bankruptcy. The next second the policy changed, Zhou Aiguo’s net worth immediately skyrocketed!

"At present, 3D movies are showing signs of re-emerging. In fact, this is normal. After all, film technology will always develop, from black and white to color, from silent to sound, from physical special effects to light and shadow special effects, etc., from It is natural for 2D to progress to 3D. When the current 2D technology can no longer satisfy the audience's eyeballs, 3D is naturally an inevitable development," Nie Wei concluded, while not forgetting to give a few examples.

For example, "The Polar Express" in 2004 has an IMAX-3D version. The film was released on 2,75 screens, of which 2,000 screens were ordinary screens and 75 were 3D-IMAX screens.

As a result, the seventy-five 3D-IMAX screens accounted for 30% of the total box office of this film. It can be said that every venue was sold out!

Starting from this film, Hollywood film producers saw the potential of 3D movies and began to upgrade 3D technology. Of course, today is still an era of pioneering. Gu Niewei's experience of the future has truly impressed movie fans around the world. If you agree with 3D movies, start with "Avatar".

The total global box office of this movie is as high as 2.75 billion, and from then on, the era of 3D-IMAX movies began.

Nie Wei couldn't tell Zhou Aiguo about these, but this didn't prevent her from talking to Zhou Aiguo about her optimism about 3D-IMAX movies.

"So these vacant spaces are prepared for 3D-IMAX theaters, just waiting for you to contact the introduction of technical equipment." Zhou Aiguo summarized for Nie Wei after listening.

"That's right." Nie Wei nodded. He didn't want to wait until 3D-IMAX movies were released in China before preparing to upgrade the equipment. That would simply be a waste of his foresight as a future man. Since he knew that the future belonged to the era of 3D-IMAX movies, he naturally had to be prepared.

"Okay, tell me if you need anything. Of course, I can't think of anything I can do to help you." Zhou Aiguo said jokingly.

He didn't understand the film industry, and he didn't understand the introduction of technical equipment. As for money, Nie Wei was much richer than him. The only thing Zhou Aiguo could help was the construction of cinemas, which Zhou Aiguo would definitely focus on. After all, he knew how important these cinemas were to Nie Wei.

"Dad, have you finished talking? It's been an hour." Zhou Duoduo suddenly pushed the door open and asked with a pout, pointing at the watch on her wrist.

"We're done, we're done." Zhou Aiguo laughed and messed up the chessboard, then said to Nie Wei: "Go play with Duoduo."

Nie Wei twitched his mouth and put the 'horse' in his hand back on the chessboard helplessly. He was only one step away from being killed by Zhou Aiguo.

"Brother, did you see anything new when you went to Japan?"

"What is the training system for idols?"

"So amazing, are they all middle school and high school students? What!? There are also elementary school students, elementary school students can also be idols."

"AKB48, forty-eight people? Wow, there are actually hundreds of people, then why is it called AKB48?"

"Brother, take me to Japan next time, I also want to see this group."

Zhou Aiguo listened to the chatter outside, while smiling and cleaning up the chessboard, until he picked up the "horse" that Nie Wei put down, his old face blushed slightly. After all, he was so old and still played rogue with children, and he was still a little embarrassed. But who made Nie Wei play chess so well? Zhou Aiguo thought that his chess skills had improved, and even if he lost, he should lose beautifully, but he didn't expect that he would still be defeated by Nie Wei.

At this moment, Zhou Aiguo not only thought about the conversation between him and Nie Wei when he reviewed the chess game with his teacher, but he was also very curious about Nie Wei's chess strength. The teacher did not give an accurate answer at the time, saying that it was hard to guess, saying that the opponent did not let Nie Wei try his best.

But then the professional chess player also said that judging from the trend of the chessboard, Nie Wei might also have professional-level chess strength.

"Next time, should I ask the teacher to really test Nie Wei's chess strength, and teach this kid a lesson by the way." Zhou Aiguo in the room was thinking about this, while outside the room, Zhou Duoduo was curiously asking Nie Wei about the interesting things he encountered in Japan, and at the same time did not forget to talk about her own interesting things in school.

Soon, Su Qing also brought in the cooked noodles. While eating the hot noodles, she listened to Zhou Duoduo chattering about some trivial things in school. Of course, in the girl's view, these trivial things are all big things for her.

"Our class won the first place in the chorus of the whole school. I am the lead singer of our class. The teacher said that I sang very well. Brother, I will sing for you seriously one day. If you think it is good, please write a song for me."

"Brother, the people in our class's basketball team are so stupid. They were beaten by the third class next door with a score of 30 to 2. I am the cheerleader. It was so embarrassing that day that our head teacher was so angry that he cried."

"There is also a girl named Wang Lingling in our class who had a fight with a girl named Xu Xiaowen in the next class. I heard that they were fighting for the boyfriend of Wang Hao, the class flower of the second class. The two of them dueled and whoever won would be Wang Hao's boyfriend."

When Nie Wei heard this little thing, he had just finished a bowl of noodles and put down his chopsticks. Nie Wei wiped his mouth with a tissue and asked, "What about you? My sister is so cute. Isn't there any boy chasing you in school?"

Nie Wei just asked casually, but this question seems to touch the sensitive points of many people.

Su Qing, who was cleaning the dishes, paused, and Zhou Aiguo, who was walking out of the room, also stopped. Both of them subconsciously focused their eyes on Zhou Duoduo, who was blushing next to Nie Wei.

"No!" The little girl's face was flushed, and she gave such an answer after a long time. Then she did not forget to complain about Nie Wei and complained that her brother was too gossipy.

"You are lying. If you really don't have it, you need to think about it for so long. Besides, it's not shameful to have a boy you like. It proves that you are charming. It's shameful if no boy likes you. When your brother was in junior high school, there was at least a row of girls following me after school every day... Ah, mom, why are you pulling my ears? It hurts." Before Nie Wei finished showing off himself, Su Qing, who was standing next to him, pulled his ears and wouldn't let go.

"Stinky boy, why didn't I know that you were so glorious in junior high school, and there was a row of girls." Su Qing asked while pulling Nie Wei's ears.

"Mom, let go first. I'll admit it all." Nie Wei first persuaded Su Qing to let go, then he rubbed his ears and rolled his eyes at Zhou Duoduo who was laughing at him. He recalled: "There were really a lot of girls following me at that time. You asked me how I knew that, because I remember a cute girl in a white shirt who always accompanied me home. She said it was on the way, and I really believed it for a long time, until I needed to fill in my home address before the high school entrance examination..."

"Wow, so that girl liked you for three years?"

"Maybe, at least for two years. We basically walked together after school, and I asked her to go to school together in the morning. She never agreed. Later, I saw her address and I figured it out."

"Did you agree to the pursuit of that girl?" Zhou Duoduo asked with gossip in her eyes. Even Zhou Aiguo and Su Qing looked at Nie Wei curiously.

Under the gaze of everyone, Nie Wei shook his head.

"She never formally confessed to me until she graduated from junior high school. She just implicitly expressed her hope to keep in touch with me when writing in the yearbook. Unfortunately, after entering high school, we gradually contacted less and less."

"Ah~~~~~" Zhou Duoduo sighed sadly, as if she was watching a fairy tale with an unhappy ending.

"Is it the girl who always wears a ponytail, wears a white shirt, and smiles beautifully?" Su Qing seemed to recall the girl's appearance after listening to Nie Wei's words.

"That's right, mom, you also saw her many times at that time. The girl once gave you the apple she brought."

"Yes, I remember, the little girl was very polite."

"Brother, do you still have that yearbook? Let me see it." Zhou Duoduo interrupted the memories of Nie Wei and his mother and asked curiously.

"Haha, let's talk about your problem first. Is there really no one chasing you? Anyway, I don't believe it." Nie Wei said confidently.

Zhou Duoduo looks very cute. In addition to her family environment, Zhou Aiguo doesn't give her much pocket money, but he never wrongs her in terms of food, clothing and daily expenses. He always gives her the best he can. In addition, Nie Wei will give this girl a lot of pocket money from time to time, so Zhou Duoduo is the kind of girl who looks beautiful, dresses fashionably and generously among her peers. She must be very popular among students.

Nie Wei is the first one who doesn't believe that there are no boys chasing after her.

The three of them looked at Zhou Duoduo, who was blushing, and were very curious about her answer.
