Chapter 136 Old Beauty's Cinema
Previously, Wu Cheng once joked with Michael Orwitz, saying that if there were theaters here willing to sell them, he wouldn't mind having them come over to have them.
At that time, he was really joking because he didn't have that much money at all.
Even now, he doesn't have that much money. But since Orwitz took it seriously, Wu Cheng had to bite the bullet and go and take a look. If possible, maybe he could really play around.
"How many theaters are there in that theater?" Wu Cheng asked with a smile as he walked.
Although he had no money, Wu Cheng's expression was still calm. But he just went over to see the situation and didn't have to take over, right?
"This theater is actually not big. There are only 18 theaters in total, and all of them are in California, while Los Angeles occupies three. Moreover, the theaters are not large in size. The largest one has only 900 seats. This is the number of seats added up to two screening halls on the upper and lower floors."
Wu Cheng was stunned when he heard this and thought to himself: Is it unlikely that the United States will start to develop multi-functional screening halls during this period?
After thinking for a while, Wu Chengcai said: "So, this theater has more than 18 screens in total, right?"
"Well, there are twenty-eight screens, and there are several theaters, but only one screen." Orwitz smiled and said, "Speaking of this, a small theater like this is actually not cost-effective."
"Oh, why do you say it?" Wu Cheng was surprised.
By the way, multi-functional screening room is the future trend
Orwitz smiled and said, "Hey man, you won't use this to test me, right? As the boss of a film company, will you still not think of the problem here?"
"You think so, that's it," Wu Cheng smiled.
"I think the situation here is similar to that of yours." Orwitz smiled and said, "Now, people's entertainment is just TV, and of course parties. By the way, a few people can also play with their personal computers. In this way, the question is, who are young people nowadays willing to watch TV with their parents at home?"
Wu Cheng finally reacted, it turned out that the problem was on the computer.
"So, watching movies has become the first choice for young people nowadays. But if you think about it, two or three hundred seats will take up a copy, and this investment will be much more than the one or two thousand seats." After pausing, he said: "Besides, the theater is small, the flow of people is small, and the remaining profits around cannot keep up. In this way, how can we persist?"
Wu Cheng knew that during this period, personal computers had not yet been popularized, and the Internet had not yet appeared, and pirated videotapes were not yet popular, which was when large theaters were popular.
The reason why later generations changed from large theaters to multi-functional theaters was just to adapt to the diversified entertainment trend. When the camera appeared, when the DVD player was released, and when the Internet was born, the large theater would have to end. The bigger the theater, the more you lose.
But now, the smaller the theater, the less you earn
Orwitz shook his head and smiled bitterly: "In fact, although many small theaters have similar incomes and expenditures openly, they are losing money secretly. If it were another business, they would definitely make more money than they are now."
Wu Cheng naturally understood this principle.
At this moment, Wu Cheng still looked calm. When Orwitz saw this, he showed a sincere look and said, "Cheng, after hearing this, do you still want to acquire this theater?"
Wu Cheng knew that Orwitz's meaning was very obvious. This theater chain was actually a theater chain that was not losing money on the surface but was secretly losing money. Otherwise, the other party would not sell it easily.
"What is his offer?" Wu Cheng asked.
"Five million dollars," Orwitz said: "But, I think it is worth up to eight million. Of course, the other party is definitely unwilling to accept this price."
Eighteen theaters, twenty-eight screens, and eight thousand seats. If you don’t care about the total number of seats, such a theater chain is no longer a small theater chain in Xiangjiang.
However, if the number of seats is counted, not to mention that it is a small shrimp in North America, even if it is placed in Xiangjiang, it cannot be compared with the current Feilong Cinema.
If you change to several leading theaters in Feilong Theater, you only need four to handle it. The copy only costs one-seventh of the former, and you can save tens of thousands of dollars here. In addition, the surrounding income is
It is conceivable that during this period, it is a big loss to have a small cinema.
This place is different from the countryside of Xiangjiang. After all, it is a forced task to build small theaters in the countryside in Xiangjiang. Of course, this is also the only way for camera recording to be popular, otherwise such small theaters will be the way for theaters in the future.
Although Wu Cheng was not very clear about when the camera appeared, he felt that it should be soon. It seemed that the camera appeared in the late 1970s, and only in one or two years.
When the camera is released, the theater will definitely feel difficult.
Therefore, Wu Chengneng and others
Moreover, if there is a theater in North America, Hong Kong films can be gradually transferred to the future. Even though this theater is small, its role is not small.
After thinking about it, Wu Cheng looked at Orwitz and said, "If it is agreed within 10 million, I will want this theater. If it exceeds this number, then forget it. In addition, I have to know whether there are other safety hazards in the specific situation of this theater. You have to help me find out these."
Orwitz nodded and said, "Please rest assured about this. Although I don't know why you still want to acquire this theater after knowing these situations, I will definitely do it well."
After pausing, he smiled and said, "Hey, man, if I successfully negotiate for you, will there be any rewards? I have spent a lot of energy on helping you find such a theater."
Wu Cheng smiled and reached out to touch him a few times, and finally said, "Okay, when you do this again in the future, don't miss your job. Otherwise, I will not explain it to Lang and your partner."
"Of course," Orwitz smiled and said, "In addition, I have to tell you that Lang has contributed to this matter. So, he has a share of this fee."
"Okay, if you negotiate within 10 million US dollars, I will give you 30% of the commission as a bonus."
"Wow, I like your generous look so handsome."
"I think you probably thought to yourself, oh, this damn Oriental, you are such an idiot who doesn't use money as money. Even though you know you will lose money, you still have to buy it. It's not a fool, what's wrong?"
"Hahaha, you're really good at joking. We've been outside for a long time. I believe Bobby is waiting too urgent, so go see him."
When Wu Cheng and Orwitz went to meet the owner of the theater, Shenglong and Hong Jinbao were surrounded by a group of ocean horses. At the beginning, they did not reveal their identities, but the ocean horses directly ignored these two foreigners from the East.
However, both of them were shameless guys, and they were ignored by others, so they didn't care much. They cursed to chat with each other and made a lot of jokes by fucking the somewhat half-baked English.
But the two of them enjoyed it. Even Hong Jinbao threw the saying that the Chinese people were facing the face after leaving the country.
But the result is not as good as they wish. Who knows them
In this part of the United States, it can be said that Asians are actually the least status, and even blacks have higher status than Asians.
It was not until Shenglong pulled Langmeier to re-introduce their identities that the ocean horses were all looking at them and they were hit by them.
So, even if Asians have no status in this place, as long as you have money and status, no one cares about who you are.
But it is obvious that these two guys were hit a lot in their hearts. Although they still looked like they were smiling, if you look carefully, you can find that their smiles were completely different from those before. Their smiles are obviously wearing masks.
Zhao Yazhi was chatting with Lansing. Zhao Yazhi was the boss of Donglong International, which Wu Cheng personally admitted. In Shirley Lansing's eyes, this Ms. Zhao Yazhi has the gentleness and generosity that an oriental woman has. In her, Lansing could feel a very gentle breath. This breath makes people feel very comfortable and makes her feel no pressure.
Although there are differences in aesthetics between the East and the West, Lansing still feels that Ms. Zhao is indeed very beautiful. No wonder their boss Wu Cheng is indifferent to the beauties in Hollywood.
"Now, I understand why Boss is not moved by the beauty here at all." Shirley Lansing smiled and complimented: "It turns out that there is a big beauty like Anji."
Faced with such compliments, Zhao Yazhi just smiled slightly, but did not agree, because Wu Cheng obviously had a heart for Deng Lijun and Lin Qingxia.
"But Anji, you have to be careful. The beauties here want to eat Boss. There are quite a few competitors," Lansing joked.
After smiling and rejecting a handsome North American guy's invitation to dance, Zhao Yazhi smiled and said, "If the opponent is just these people, then I'm not worried."
"Oh, it seems Anji, you are very confident in your appearance?"
Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but chuckled when she heard this, and finally shook her head and said, "It's not that I'm confident, but that he won't like these women. Their makeup is too thick and their temperament is not good."
Sherry Lansing's eyes were stunned when she heard this, and she said in surprise: "Wot" paused, and she said again: "No wonder Anji, you don't look like you don't have makeup on."
"I put on some light makeup." Zhao Yazhi glanced at Lansing in surprise and chuckled: "I won't talk about him anymore, tell me what fun is there on your side."
"Ha, you're asking the right person and let me tell you."
As a result, the two women quickly got into a gang.
