Taking advantage of the collapse of the Hong Kong property market, Lei Weidong purchased a large number of office buildings and commercial buildings at low prices. Among these buildings, Yunlu selected 28 buildings for the construction of multiplex cinemas, together with the cinemas in the original buildings.

It forms the largest cinema chain in Hong Kong.

After several months of renovation, it has finally reached the stage where it can be put into use.

Because the buildings are located in different locations, the sizes of these cinemas are also different.

Small ones, such as movie theaters in some places in Kowloon District, have relatively few people and are relatively small. There are only 6 screening halls with about 1,400-1,700 seats. The interior decoration is also ordinary, which is smaller than ordinary single-hall theaters.

A little more luxurious.

In some prosperous areas such as Central, Western District, and Causeway Bay, cinemas are relatively large. The largest cinema is located in Causeway Bay, which is Wan Chai District.

The cinema consists of sixteen ordinary screening rooms and two high-end VIP screening rooms, with a total of more than 4,600 seats. The cinema and the rest area occupy the entire space of the fifth and sixth floors of the building. Not to mention, each screening room

The decoration and equipment are the most modern.

Especially the two high-end VIP screening rooms, the seats, audio and projection equipment are all world-class and imported from Japan at a huge cost.

There is even a high-end VIP screening room in the form of private rooms, specially prepared for wealthy and romantic couples.

After several months of post-production, the movie "A Better Tomorrow" has finally been completed and is ready for everyone to see.

The preview meeting was held at the VIP screening room in Causeway Bay. During the preview, not only Yun Lu, Yun Piaopiao, Song Zijie, Song Zihao, Xiao Ma, Salina and others, but also reporters arrived.

Even the director was invited over by Lei Weidong.

It's just that he didn't sit with everyone, but sat in the box with Lei Weidong and quietly admired it.

"This cinema is good!" Touching the backrests of the seats, the director smiled and said, "They are all made of leather. They are more expensive than Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. I believe it cost a lot of money just to decorate it, right?"

Lei Weidong said with a smile: "Not only the decoration, but also the sound equipment is specially imported. The ticket price of this screening room is almost twice that of an ordinary cinema, and the price of the box is doubled and doubled again."

"Will anyone come to see such an expensive place?" the director asked.

"Don't worry!" Lei Weidong said with a smile, "This is the most prosperous area in Xiangjiang. It can be said that there is no shortage of rich people. The two VIP rooms here only have 380 seats in total. I am worried that the supply will exceed the demand."

"Indeed!" The director nodded after hearing this.

What he said just now is not Lei Weidong's nonsense, but Yunlu's conclusion after strict analysis based on the surrounding flow of people and income. She has the best say in whether the multi-functional theater and VIP room are popular.

Nowadays, traditional single-room cinemas are still popular in Xiangjiang. Compared with traditional single-room cinemas, although multi-hall cinemas are luxuriously decorated, their operations are more flexible and can reduce business risks.

For example, when a large theater like Lee Theater or Tai Ping Cinema encounters a movie that hits the street, it will be extremely uncomfortable if less than half of the occupancy rate is less than half.

Because such a large theater has one or two thousand seats, half the occupancy rate means that hundreds or even thousands of seats are vacant, which is a great waste of theater resources.

As for multi-functional theaters, one theater has several halls and can screen several movies at the same time, which greatly reduces the waste of theater resources. Each hall only has one to two hundred seats, so it is easy to fill up.

Dozens of people sat down in the 180-seat screening room, which seemed a bit empty. After the beam emitted by the projector reflected the title of the movie, everyone calmed down and watched the movie carefully.

"Awesome!" Watching Xiao Ma being shot in the head at the end of the film, the director couldn't help but shout even though he knew the plot.

The key to whether a movie is good or not depends on whether it can arouse the emotions of the audience.

As a native of Eagle Country, my education since childhood was different from that of Orientals. When I saw Brother Ma die, I was shocked. What would happen if Orientals saw this?

Just look at the enthusiastic reactions below and you will know that although this movie has not yet been released, it is a foregone conclusion that it will be a box office hit. The key now is how big the box office will be and whether it can set a new record.

Also, when will the sequel of the movie be released? This is related to my wallet.

"Since Brother Ma is dead, can we still be afraid of the sequel?" the director asked.

Even as a layman, the director can tell that the protagonist of the movie is Xiao Ma, and Song Zihao can only be regarded as the second supporting role. Even if he is starring the big star of Shaw Brothers Ti Lung, he is not as popular with the audience as Fa Ge, who plays his true character.

.

"I thought about this, but it wasn't mentioned in the script, but three days later, in the version that was officially released, I added a scene to show that Ma has a twin brother who went to the United States.

The two look exactly the same, and the sequel is the story of Song Zihao and his brother." Knowing that the director was concerned about his wallet, Lei Weidong specifically explained.

"This is the best." When he heard that there was a sequel to the movie, the director nodded with satisfaction, "The commander of the Hong Kong Region has reached his age and will retire at the end of the year. I believe you already know this news."

"I heard from Director Huang that he is determined to win this position. He wants to go one step further before retiring, jump from superintendent to director, and live the life of a top-level leader."

Lei Weidong nodded and said that he not only knew about it, but was also working hard on it. He invited the director here today just to learn about this news.

"Don't worry about the position of commander of the Hong Kong Region. This position is too important and will not be given to the Chinese." The director took out a cigar, lit it, took a puff, and blew out the white smoke.

"The commander of the West Kowloon Region will be transferred to the Hong Kong Island Region to assume the position of commander. If you want to compete, you can only compete for the position of the West Kowloon Commander."

Because he was in the private room and was not afraid of being overheard, the director generously told Lei Weidong the news he had just confirmed.

"As long as you can become an Assistant Director, it doesn't matter whether you are in the Hong Kong Region or West Kowloon. It doesn't make much difference to Director Huang. The key is whether you can get the position.

I heard the competition is fierce and there are more than a dozen chief superintendents interested in this position.

But if Director Huang can make progress, I can also go a step further and become the Commissioner of Wan Chai Police Station. Otherwise, I can only sit in the position of Deputy Commissioner. If I get the position, I can only wait until Director Huang retires." Lei.

Wei Dong smiled.

Because he had cooperated with the director more than once, Lei Weidong did not hide his ambitions and spoke out directly.

"Wan Chai District is too important, and you are too young. It is difficult to get a high position. It is better to jump out. If Huang Bingyao can go to West Kowloon, you'd better go with him.

He serves as the head of the West Kowloon Region, and you serve as the Yau Tsim District Commander, which is one level higher than the Director.

Although Yau Tsim District is not as good as Wan Chai District, the Yau Tsim District Commander is in charge of two police stations, Yau Ma Tei Division and Tsim Sha Tsui Division.

If you stay in Wan Chai, the most you can do is take over Wong Bing-yiu's position as Wan Chai Director. Don't even think about the position of Wan Chai District Commander, as this position will be taken by someone else."
