"Sheng Wang, let's go this way." Ye Xiujie, the person in charge of Sha's Hospital Line, bowed slightly and led the way. Behind him, Wang Yaozu in a brown windbreaker was followed by Salina, Bobo, Ling Zuer, Madonna, and behind them,
There are people from the film and television industry such as Hong Jinbao and Mei Yanfang.
After Wang Yaozu took over the Shaw Brothers theater chain, he ordered the renovation of the old theater chain.
However, all the time, various films have been put on the shelves, and it is not possible to stop all work and renovate them all at once. We have no choice but to do it in batches, so the timeline is quite long.
What's more, it needs to be redesigned.
In this era, most cinema chains use the theater format, which is a large theater that can accommodate 500 people at a time. The four largest theaters can accommodate thousands or even more people watching movies at the same time.
In the early days, when film production was low, there was no problem with this form.
But nowadays, the production of movies is increasing every year, and the aesthetic gap between audiences is also getting wider and wider. Not every movie can be welcomed by the public, and this form of screening is somewhat out of step with the times.
From time to time, there will be a situation where a movie is full and there are only a few people in a movie. This is a waste for the theater, and it also wastes the in-depth development of many niche movies, such as feature films, literary films, and of course,
'Great fight movie' at midnight.
There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Fighting movies are not necessarily pornographic. Only people with narrow vision will think so. If you don’t take off your clothes, there’s no art!
Of course, after the screening, the chairs will be a little dirty, with some unknown stains remaining...
Therefore, in accordance with Wang Yaozu's request, the theater was demolished and expanded and converted into medium and small theaters. The largest one could accommodate 150 people watching at the same time, while the smaller one could accommodate about 80 people.
Today is the first day that the grand theater is renovated. As the person in charge of the theater, Ye Xiujie naturally wants to bring his boss to visit.
In order to let people in the film industry understand my thoughts, I specially called Hong Jinbao and others.
"This is the reception hall after the renovation. There is a large TV here to show the exciting edited trailers, and it also provides a place to rest while waiting."
"This is the ticket office. This is where snacks are sold. According to Wang Sheng's request, sugar cane, melon seeds and other things with shells or residues are not allowed to be eaten in the theater. We only sell popcorn, cola and other drinks."
"Yes, popcorn must be paid attention to. It must be refined and delicious enough. It can be sold together with movie tickets, and it can be cheaper when purchased in combination. This part of the income belongs to our theater chain, and there is no need to share it with these guys behind.
!" Wang Yaozu made a request while joking, causing Hong Jinbao and others to laugh.
In fact, in later generations, the profits these snacks brought to movie theaters were no less than the movie itself. Who can watch a movie without buying popcorn?
"Here is Screening Hall No. 1, which can accommodate 150 people watching movies at the same time. Due to the reduced space, it is easier to design. At the same time, the audience can be closer to the screen and see more clearly, and the sound effect has also been significantly improved. Indeed
, the movie-watching experience has been greatly improved." As he spoke, Ye Xiujie waved his hand, and immediately, the lights went out and a movie began to be shown, which was the movie that Hong Jinbao was preparing to release.
Ye Xiuwen took everyone to experience it, and Hong Jinbao was very surprised and said: "It's really great. In the old theater, most of the places on the left, right and back were very tiring to watch movies, and I couldn't always hear clearly what was being said.
What, now, it’s so much better!”
After coming out of here, a group of people went to a separate small hall again. This time they were very excited to be replaced by Xu Anhua and Chen Kexin.
Literary and artistic films have never been loved by theaters. After all, the attendance rate when showing literary and artistic films is too low. The attendance rate can only be about 10-5% at one time. This leads to the fact that theaters do not put literary and artistic films at the least.
If there is a good time period, simply not giving them a chance to be screened, which would be harmful to the development of artistic films and film art.
But in fact, this kind of literary film is still very popular among those literary young people. They are all die-hard fans. It is common to watch it three times and four times. If there are enough screenings, it has certain market potential.
"Thank you Mr. Wang, I really appreciate your contribution to film art." Xu Anhua, who was still young at this time, held Wang Yaozu's hand and was shaking with excitement.
Fortunately, Xu Anhua is a woman, and although she is not very beautiful, she is extremely temperamental. If it were Chen Kexin, Wang Yaozu would subconsciously kick her away.
"In my opinion, commercial films are the backbone that supports the film industry. Without commercial films, the film industry cannot develop to a higher level. However, artistic films are the foundation of the film industry. Without the actors with superb acting skills cultivated by artistic films, there would be
The film industry can only be like a rootless duckweed due to thoughtful directors, photographers with top-notch skills, and other talented people. Despite the blooming flowers, all it takes is a cold wave to completely collapse the entire film industry."
The applause of "papa papa" rang out, and Hong Jinbao and other filmmakers applauded desperately. Wang Yaozu's words got to the root of the matter. Most people only focused on commercial films, hoping to make a lot of money, but
Often this kind of people are the ones who just grab a handful and run away, leaving nothing but a mess after they withdraw.
Hong Jinbao is a knowledgeable old filmmaker, so he naturally understands the truth. This is also the reason why many literary and artistic film directors have a high status in the industry. Moreover, for an actor, there is no literary and artistic film that he can produce.
No matter how marketable you are, you will never reach the top in the film industry.
This is true all over the world. How many actors with huge market appeal are willing to risk their lives for a statuette to prove that they are not just a vase statue.
After a visit, everyone seemed very satisfied. Wang Yaozu also finalized the follow-up reconstruction plan, and several small and medium-sized theaters were expanded and increased in height, all following this approach.
After everyone dispersed, Wang Yaozu asked Ye Xiuwen to play a film in the hall to see the effect. After the screening, he kicked everyone out...
Holding Salina on his lap, Wang Yaozu lowered his head and said in her ear: "How is it, my Chairman Sha, are you still satisfied?"
From Wang Yaozu's laughter, Salina could sense that he had evil intentions. Sure enough, after sitting on his lap, she felt oДo and her face immediately turned red. In addition to Bobo, who had already met frankly, there were two others.
The man in the same stick, then, subconsciously twisted (man)
Hiss~
I haven’t tried one versus four yet. This is an excellent opportunity. For the great ideal of sleeping together, Wang Yaozu is willing to go all out. Today, he will have an ‘extreme challenge’ no matter what!
The movie plays loudly...
