Chapter 97: A Thunder on the Ground

On February 8, at the Anle Cinema in Causeway Bay, people were striking at this time, and a group of people were standing at the entrance of Anle Cinema with long guns and short cannons. People who didn't know the reason thought they were making movies, but this was the press conference of the Global Theater.

After a while, the staff of Anle Cinema opened the door. These reporters carrying long guns and short cannons entered one after another with invitation letters. This invitation letter was not simple. It was jointly issued by Anle Cinema and Qilin Media Group. The reporters who smelled the fishy smell felt that this press conference was not simple, and it might be a strong alliance between the two sides.

There was no guest in the screening room of Anle Cinema, and there was a row of tables under the screen. These reporters sat in the seats that the staff of Anle Cinema had already arranged, and many people sat on the theater chairs.

As a reporter from Chengbao, he sat in the seat arranged for him by the staff of Anle Cinema Line. He looked left and then, and finally a banner above the screen entered his eyes. He saw the words "Warm celebrating the establishment of the Global Cinema Line" written on it. He knew that something big was going to happen in the film industry.

Before he could open his mouth, he poked the photographer Zou Shang next to him and said softly in Zou Shang's ear: "Old Zou, take a picture above the screen and don't be discovered by others. After the filming, hand the film to Xiao Chen and ask him to report back to the agency immediately to see what the boss has to do. Something big has happened."

Zou Shang went to Yiyan to move the camera to the top of the screen. Seeing the words "Heroic Celebration of the Founding of Global Theater Line", his eyes shrank slightly. Then he quickly took a photo, took out the film and handed it to Xiao Chen, saying, "Go back quickly and handed it to the boss."

Xiao Chen Yiyan took the film and walked out of Anle Cinema. No one noticed the three of them during the whole process.

After a while, Li Zhiwen, Jiang Zhiqiang and others entered the door one after another and walked to the stool in front of the table and sat down. Of course, He Chaoqiong did not have the qualifications. She was just watching from the side now, and the door of Anle Cinema was completely closed.

"Everyone should know my identity. I'd better introduce myself. I'm Li Zhiwen, the chairman of Qilin Media Group, and the chairman of Qilin Film Company. The one next to me is Mr. Jiang Zhiqiang, the former chairman of Anle Cinemas."

"Everyone may be curious why I used the original word. Yes, Anle Cinema no longer exists. Instead, it is replaced by Global Cinema. Global Cinema has 22 theaters. Mr. Jiang, who is by my side, will be the general manager of Global Cinema. Okay, after the introduction, everyone can ask questions." Li Zhiwen said.

Many reporters were buzzing by the news town, and before the reporter of Chengbao had opened, they had already digested the news and raised their hands to signal.

Li Zhiwen signaled that he had not yet opened and asked him to speak. He stood up and said, "Mr. Li, does this mean that the films of Kirin Film Company will not be released in Jiahe, and is Jiahe suppressing Kirin Film Company?"

"Of course, since we have a new theater, of course we will not be released on Jiahe theater. As for whether Jiahe suppresses us, it is up to everyone to see this." Li Zhiwen said vaguely.

"Mr. Jiang, I wonder who is the one who leads you and Mr. Li in the Global Theater. Is it Mr. Li?" asked a reporter from the Oriental Daily.

"Of course, the establishment of the Global Theater Line this time has a lot to do with Mr. Li's efforts." Jiang Zhiqiang said.

"Okay, I won't say much about this. I want all the reporters to bring words to Hong Kong's independent filmmakers."

"From now on, Global Theater will cancel the theater cap system and only charge the box office share between theaters and cinemas. Independent filmmakers are welcome to release films at Global Theater."

"At the same time, our Global Theater welcomes talented film companies to join. If there is a suitable script that cannot be found for investment, just come to Global Theater. If the script passes the review department of the Global Theater Review Department, Global Theater can invest in the film, so all directors and screenwriters are welcome to come to Global Theater to find investment."

As soon as Li Zhiwen finished speaking, the reporters below exclaimed.

Global Theater has canceled the theater bottom-up system, which can solve the problem of Global Theater's current lack of film sources. Although Li Zhiwen has brought Wang Jing over, as for Fendou Film Company, Li Zhiwen has not found a business trio considering the issue of confidentiality.

Now Global Theater has no films at all. This system can solve the current dilemma of Global Theater and can also attract small and medium-sized film companies.

The reporters lamented that the Hong Kong film industry is about to change. Now it can be said that the plates of Jiahe and Shaw Brothers have been smashed. Under the temptation of Global Theater not charging the theater deposit fee, countless producers will inevitably risk offending Shaw Brothers and Jiahe and release the film at Global Theater.

This is particularly obvious to Jiahe. After all, Shaw Brothers is self-produced and sold, and Jiahe mainly relies on itself and its satellite film companies to expand its film sources and cancel the theater chain. I am afraid that Jiahe's satellite film companies will be moved. After all, Jiahe took away a lot of money for no reason before the film was released, and no one would be happy to exchange it.

Then Li Zhiwen didn't say anything anymore and left Jiang Zhiqiang. As for the red envelopes to the reporters, he left them to the staff of the Global Theater Line to do it.

At the same time, all the theaters under Global Theater Line had already hung up the doors that were transported to this day.

This time, Li Zhiwen had hidden Shaw Brothers, Jiahe and Lisheng enough. In order to hide it from the three of them, Li Zhiwen signed a confidentiality agreement with the owners of each theater when he acquired the theater.

In the office of the chairman of Kowloon Jianye, Lei Juekun was closing his eyes to rest. Li Maowen broke in in dismay, making Lei Juekun very unhappy.

"Boss, our five theaters have changed their doors and replaced them with Global Theater." Li Maowen said. After his own efforts, Lisheng Theater already had 13 theaters, but now they have changed to Global Theater. There are only eight theaters under his command, which is even fewer than Lei Juekun before.

"Global Theater? Why don't I know when it appeared?" Lei Juekun said.

"I went to send someone to ask. They said that the Global Theater was the responsibility of Jiang Zhiqiang from Anle Theater, and I don't know the others." Li Maowen said.

"Impossible. Jiang Zhiqiang does not have such a large amount of funds and does not have such great courage. Go and check who the financial owner behind him is immediately." Lei Juekun said in a deep voice.

"Yes, boss!" After Li Maowen said that, he hurriedly left the office.

Lei Juekun touched his head, feeling helpless. Finally, the stock price of Kowloon Jianye has stabilized, but unexpectedly something happened to Lisheng Cinemas again.
