There are some things that cannot be said casually, especially by big shots. Once said, it will be a clear signal.
Facing Xiao Qian's promise, Shi Jiangong's blood boiled instantly and his whole body was full of energy.
In terms of industry reform, he was not a staunch supporter at first, and was even somewhat opposed to it.
Because the Magic City Cinema is newly built, it is unrivaled in competitiveness among all its peers in Magic City, and its benefits have always been good.
This would put Magic City Cinema under someone else's control, which would mean losing its autonomy, and Shi Jiangong was very unwilling to do so.
For this reason, Xiao Qian sent people to talk to him three times.
The first time he promised to benefit, Shi Jianggong was unmoved and just wanted to guard his one-third of an acre of land.
The second time, he threatened him and told him that if he didn't comply, he would be transferred away. Shi Jiangong was also ruthless. He went to the Cultural Affairs Bureau and cried and made trouble, which made the higher-ups passive.
It wasn't until the third time that Xiao Qian showed his trump card that he was forced to submit.
Xiao Qian told him that if he continued to disobey the reform, Magic City Cinema would not be able to get any movies produced by Starlight Film and Television in the future, and would cut off the screening quota of imported films by Magic City Cinema.
To put it bluntly, it was an ambush from all sides, depriving the Magic City of water and food, starving it to death.
Although Magic City Cinema is a comprehensive commercial entity, its foundation is basically movie broadcasting. If there are no movies to show, will anyone still come to consume it?
Shi Jiangong went to make trouble with his superiors again, but it didn't work this time.
Because facing Xiao Qian's domineering attitude, his superiors couldn't do anything, let alone him.
Only then did Magic City Cinema comply with the general trend of reform, and Shi Jiangong also changed his attitude.
After a hard beating, Xiao Qian now wants to give Tian Zao.
Once the reform of the film industry in the Free Shipping Zone is completed, it is obvious that a behemoth will emerge. And among such a behemoth, although Magic City Cinema is very important, it is actually just a very inconspicuous existence.
Shi Jiangong was only in his early forties, didn't he want to be promoted?
Now Xiao Qian has opened the door of hope for him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, we will handle it properly and there won't be any oversights."
There is a dedicated person in charge of the movie's premiere. Xiao Qian is just concerned about it. He also has an important purpose to talk to Yu Shanxiang.
The two of them were walking in the Magic City Cinema, and Xiao Qian pointed at the surrounding facilities and talked about his thoughts.
"Small screening halls will definitely be the mainstream trend in the future, and digitalization is slowly becoming mainstream. We must also fully consider this in the construction of cinemas, strive to get it right in one step, and it is best to directly achieve the world's leading level. In this way, we will
Over the years, we have been able to keep up with the world’s trends without falling behind.”
Yu Shanxiang heard the string song and knew its elegant meaning.
"What you mean is that in the renovation of cinemas such as Grand Guangming and Cathay Pacific, small screening rooms should be planned, and at the same time, like the Magic City Cinema, it can have many functions such as leisure, entertainment, catering, etc., making it a popular attraction in the surrounding areas.
A consumer hotspot, right?”
Xiao Qian's eyes were really filled with admiration.
This talent he is optimistic about must be reused in the future.
"You can't just focus on the overall situation, but also pay attention to the details. After all, theaters are built for the audience to experience. If the audience experience is not good, it will still affect the business."
Walking into one of the screening rooms, Xiao Qian pointed at the seats and made an opinion.
"A movie, even the shortest, takes one and a half hours. Sitting in one place for an hour and a half will make people bored. Studies have shown that when watching a movie, food and beverage consumption will increase by 75%.
.But you see, this kind of seating arrangement is not only compact and has no space, but also makes the audience carry food and drinks from beginning to end. Will it be very tiring? Can we design it well so that the seats have more functions?
How about for the convenience of the audience?”
He pulled everyone closer and talked about examples from later generations.
"For example, can we design a deeper groove at the top of the armrest of the seat so that the audience's cups of drinks can be fixed on top when they are not drinking? There is no need to worry about spilling them.
?”
He just spoke a few words, but when Yu Shanxianghe was doing meritorious deeds, everyone's eyes lit up, and at the same time he was very upset.
Why didn't they think of such a simple thing?
Xiao Qian spoke enthusiastically and began to divergence.
"In addition, can we make a rotating and flat board in the gap under the armrest? When the audience sits down, they can move the board in front of them, similar to the small dining table of a hospital bed. This way the customer's backpack
, food can also be placed, wouldn’t it make it more interesting?”
What else can be said about meritorious deeds in good times and peaceful times?
I had to quickly write it down and go back to discuss it with the people below to complete it.
What Xiao Qian said was commonplace in movie theaters in later generations, but only a small number of movie theaters in this era had it.
Just a few minor changes can greatly enhance the audience's experience and are definitely worth a try.
"The Opium War" has been publicized since last winter and has continued until now. In more than half a year, it has been popularized even in areas with poor communication.
The quality of Mr. Xiao's works is now an absolute guarantee. Even though this is his first foray into the film field, it still has the expectations of many audiences.
The appeal of Shen Jue and Wen Yi, a pair of national CPs, is no joke. There are countless people who are willing to go to the cinema for them.
Xie Qi is the oldest and most famous director in China and has influenced the lives of many generations.
Especially during the promotion process, the extremely shocking war scenes and special effects have firmly attracted the attention of the audience.
So when May Day came, countless audiences from all over the country entered movie theaters. Especially in movie theaters in Beijing, Shanghai, and Yangcheng, there were endless queues as far as the eye could see.
It is even harder to get a ticket for the No. 1 screening room in the Magic City Cinema today. Scalpers outside have even sold tickets for 3,000 yuan each, but there are still people willing to pay.
At around 5 p.m., the premiere officially began.
The packed audience below thought that the film's creator would just walk out, but when the curtain opened, what was revealed was a dazzling array of musical instruments laid out on the stage.
This is going to be a performance, and it's a performance by a symphony orchestra.
What confuses everyone is that in this orchestra, in addition to the more familiar orchestral instruments and keyboard instruments, there are also traditional instruments such as chimes, harps, bowls, and drums.
Soon, amid everyone's confusion, the auditorium darkened, and only the light focused on the stage.
The big screen behind the orchestra flashed and a silent introduction was made.
Performance piece - "fall of heaven", directed by Chu Jiangxun of Hubei Provincial Museum.
For today's premiere, Xiao Qian specially created this stage.
This song "fall of " is completely original by him, Chu Jiangxun, Xia Weizhang and others
"kgdo "of heaven" is considered Xiao Qian's most proud work.
The scene at the end of the film was so exciting that it made people cry.
It's a pity that only a small part can be used in the movie. So when designing the premiere, Xiao Qian advocated putting the performance of the entire song at the beginning.
The purpose is to let the audience appreciate the shock brought by traditional Chinese musical instruments.
Now, seeing such a novel band, the audience really held their breath.
In the complete silence, Chu Jiangxun became the most eye-catching focus.
After he took a deep breath, the baton in his hand began to vibrate gently.
At the beginning, there was the monotonous and clear ringing of the chimes, just like the cold wind and cold rain blowing across the mountains, rivers and earth, adding to the desolation.
Suddenly, thunder erupted from the ground, like a huge wave rushing from the sky, seeming to swallow up everything in the world.
I don’t know why, but in the minds of many viewers, the British warships were like this giant wave, forcibly cutting open the gate of the ancient empire.
All of a sudden, everyone was caught up in the melody-making mood, completely forgetting that this was a movie premiere.
The whole song lasted for three and a half minutes, and it was full of waves and waves. When it ended, many audience members were surprised to find that their clothes were soaked through.
Many people were extremely excited and secretly made up their minds. When they go back, they must buy the CD of this music.
"Okay, thank you, thank you to the Hubei Provincial Museum Orchestra for your wonderful performance. Now, let us invite the main creative staff of the movie "The Opium War" to meet you."
He Min's passionate voice brought the premiere back to normal, and the audience also gave warm applause.
Under the leadership of Xiao Qian and Xie Qi, more than a dozen creative staff filed out and stood in a row on the stage.
Of course, most of the audience's eyes are focused on a small area.
Xiao Qian, Shen Jue and Wen Yi stood together. Damn it, it was such a time of beauty, and they didn't give others a way to survive.
Compared with these three people, the others are like the background, eclipsed.
He Min has grown into a qualified host, and the words he speaks are particularly sensational.
"We have been waiting for a long time and finally the release of "The Opium War". Everyone, are you looking forward to this day?"
"expect……"
The audience's roar was deafening, which also made the creators extremely happy. No matter how hard you work, it's all for the audience's approval.
