Protagonist:
Shen Yao
This approach is actually one of the fastest ways to see results in a short time, after all ticket prices are cheap, and they will also give away some movie merchandise and cards along the way; for ordinary audiences it may not have much appeal, but for some die-hard fans or people who are always idle, it counts as a reward.
But Shen Yao was still unsure; Jiang Han Zhou doing this, what should they do when other movies are fully rolled out later?
Right now they can do it entirely because there are sufficient funds on hand, but the company is always operating, and the cash on hand won't go unspent.
In the end, the capital chain breaks... Shen Yao didn't even dare to think what their ending would be like.
"These small and medium-sized theater chains and those in remote locations have never been the audiences' first choice; we are currently just losing money to make a fuss, letting audiences know there are still these theater chains around."
"When the movies are released later, we can take the low-profit high-volume route."
"For some niche movies or movies more inclined toward special groups, appropriately increasing theater screenings might bring unexpected gains."
The unexpected gains Jiang Han Zhou referred to were somewhat similar to children's movies being able to attract the whole family to watch; after all, when children make a scene they are not reasonable, even if the theater location is too remote, parents would still be willing to accompany their children out.
At the same time, around the movie theaters, some stalls for convenient eating and drinking can be built; prices don't need to match those of well-located theater chains, and they can even launch package tickets or recharge activities, maximizing traffic however possible.
Shen Yao:...
Shen Yao didn't know if Jiang Han Zhou doing this was useful, but seeing this person busy to the point of not touching the ground, she tacitly didn't actively drag him down, but instead provided sufficient funds in advance, enabling Jiang Han Zhou to give full play to his abilities.
It proved that Jiang Han Zhou indeed had some talent in operating theater chains.
This was just like when he first entered the fashion circle; Jiang Han Zhou's purpose was not really to fill these theater chains across the whole country and carry them forward, but rather felt that after their own movies were released, too much money was snatched away by theater chains; the typical case of others having it but not his own, so he spent money buying theater chains with huffing and puffing.
Right now after he did this, these theater chains indeed had some traffic.
According to the audiences' meaning, not only are ticket prices cheap, eating and drinking around is also very convenient, and the best part is that these movie theaters' package tickets can be used anytime and are internally universal.
Even if there are quite a few movies they are not interested in watching more than a glance, but because the ticket prices are really cheap, they can't help but go take a look.
It was also during this period that their own internal movie was released.
Compared to other cinemas where a movie ticket costs dozens or even over a hundred yuan at every turn, the ticket prices of these small and medium-sized theater chains are only half of theirs.
Even if they have to walk an extra distance and waste some time on the road, those who want to watch this movie will still come over.
Of course, Jiang Han Zhou doing this is not very proper; unless the economic gap between big cities and small towns is too great causing the surface movie ticket prices to be different, otherwise theater chain ticket prices are a unified standard.
"But package tickets are indeed much cheaper; this is also our advantage," otherwise why would those audiences who want to watch movies but are unwilling to buy tickets at high prices come over? It must be because advantages in other aspects made audiences ignore the distance issue.
Jiang Han Zhou had no response to the dissatisfaction expressed by other peers; after all, earning money into his own hands is most important; even the discounted movies are their own productions, and the interests involved are not others', counting as walking on the line.
Walking on the line like this cannot go on forever; Jiang Han Zhou eventually adjusted the ticket prices back, but he privately gave away various merchandise and local specialties in his own theater chains; the combined value was about the same as the previously reduced ticket prices.
Other peers:...
You must know that theater chains have a lofty posture toward movies.
After all, no matter how awesome a movie is filmed, it ultimately must be released in theater chains to earn money, so theater chains want to take more of the movie box office; for movie producers, they can only endure it, even if the directors and actors are big names, it doesn't work.
Before Jiang Han Zhou bought theater chains, he suffered losses in this aspect; of the movie box office earned, two-thirds had to be given away externally, and being able to keep one-third for himself was the other party giving face.
Nowadays, using this hand of stirring up shit skills, other peers are both angry and helpless; wanting to fall out but reluctant to not earn money; not falling out, the incoming money is decreasing; truly no matter how they choose, it's helpless.
But after all, only Jiang Han Zhou is a special case; other movie producers still rely on them to earn money; otherwise these theater chains would probably join forces to issue notifications, not allowing those who stir up trouble to mess around.
"No need to care what they think; this is the money our movie can get; calculated, it's about the same as 'No One Survives', but this movie's box office is less than 'No One Survives'."
From this it can be seen that doing theater chain business has great potential; at least the extra money is earned by themselves, and even using it to maintain theater chains is more than enough.
Jiang Han Zhou returned dusty and weary, holding the table just counted in his hand.
Shen Yao gestured for this person to quickly sit down and rest; every day rushing tight and slow, not feeling tired.
After earning money, Jiang Han Zhou felt warm in his heart; tired? He can't hear that word now.
The outer coat on his body was taken off and thrown onto the sofa; Jiang Han Zhou was still muttering his plans with his mouth; with money in hand, he can expand theater chain scale; those shabby theater chains he previously looked at can now be bought in a batch; when the company has new movies released, they can completely copy this plan and earn more money.
This is a place with a better return on investment than the short drama track; at least the maintenance cost of theater chains is not much; as long as guaranteeing the company can release several movies above the passing line every year.
Placed in other companies, they might still worry, but their side has a sound system, sufficient personnel reserves, and there is Director Wang, an excellent employee who stably produces one movie every year; Jiang Han Zhou simply doesn't worry about theater chains lacking money.
Shen Yao raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, then instructed Jiang Han Zhou that when making a move, he must be steady, accurate, and ruthless, to prevent being repeatedly pulled back and forth by the other party, and finally spending more money might not necessarily get things done.
"Who said something?" Jiang Han Zhou raised his eyebrows; their expansion direction is clear; there shouldn't be that kind of thoughtless act; if there really is, it's intentional, unable to see them develop so well.
"There have always been people talking behind backs; it's just that previously we didn't pay attention to them;" right now is different; the other party truly wants them to suffer losses.
Shen Yao quietly recited several company names; all are well-known old brands in the circle; previously they even did quite a few things that harm others and don't benefit themselves.
Right now seeing Jiang Han Zhou and Shen Yao's new business thriving, they even more wish to drag both people into the water.
But Shen Yao had long been prepared; prepared a hand in advance to let them grab empty; right now Jiang Han Zhou returning even more directly told the names, afraid of accidentally falling into a pit.
Jiang Han Zhou raised his hand and tapped the table surface; "It's them," just like before.
Shen Yao sighed; "Recently few star actors actively contact us; looking like there's some warning meaning."
Capital wants to earn money itself, rather than watching others earn money but not falling into its own pocket.
People in the entertainment industry are best at forming cliques; although doing this is not proper, who made them all like playing this set; Shen Yao doesn't plan to give these people face; after all, business delivered to the door still dares to be picky; that's really giving face but not taking it.
"I plan to go to several film and television schools to look around recently; right now the circle is all about traffic trends; no matter what they do, they take traffic as king;" doing this will lead to newcomers in the circle having fewer and fewer opportunities to stand out.
Previously Blueberry TV's "Actor Starlight Road" was considered a decent channel, but the continuous development in these years made "Actor Starlight Road" inevitably come to a traffic low; compared with the previous hot popularity, they are simply incomparable.
Film and television companies with some prospects won't send their own newcomers there; this leads to "Actor Starlight Road"'s external exposure being very limited; fortunately, the responsible director is quite diligent; even if "Actor Starlight Road"'s ratings are not as good as before, he still persists in real filming; also counts as accumulating a somewhat specific fan group for this program; having these as baseline traffic, "Actor Starlight Road"'s variety show can continue to be broadcast.
Shen Yao plans to use the name of "Actor Starlight Road" to stir up some script heat; anyway, she has plenty of methods to deal with these people.
Jiang Han Zhou smiled and reminded Shen Yao she can make a bigger scene, let these people remember it well; otherwise they always like to secretly play tricks behind backs.
The atmosphere of the entertainment industry has become so bad compared to before; it's all because these capitalists are not proper people.
Shen Yao smiled and made a gesture; the two stayed in Jing Shi for a period of time; Jiang Han Zhou then boarded a plane and left in a hurry.
The scorching sun blazed, temperatures rose high
Shen Yao's Company posted a notice for interviewing young Actors, while also arranging Internal Personnel to visit several major film and television Colleges.
Because there was no deliberate concealment, coupled with Shen Yao's Company's film and television production ranking among the top, once the notice was issued, it received quite a few interview messages.
Among them, most were Actors with little fame or Newcomers who had just entered the industry; the Wedding Guests picked and chose through the interviews, and those finally delivered to Shen Yao's hands were all not bad.
Shen Yao did not stand on ceremony about this; after all, the several projects she attempted were all small-scale investment Wang Luo dramas, suitable for young Actors to star in.
Because of the novel's IP effect, the Company's reputation, and the Audience foundation accumulated over many years, every time the Company had a work released, it would harvest a portion of attention.
Shen Yao had sufficient Capital to employ these young Actors, and these Actors were fresh out of the gate, hating that they couldn't seize this opportunity even more, to successfully leave their own traces in the Circle, and they could also rely on these to advance a step further.
Both sides belonged to a Complementary Relationship of cooperation; therefore, after Shen Yao confirmed the Main Characters of several film and television projects, these crews rapidly started filming, afraid that a step late would mean being replaced by someone else; Shen Yao's Company's Reputation in the entire Entertainment Industry was still too Authoritative, Newcomers who just Debuted being able to act in such good roles, they would hide in their Nest/Bed at night and secretly rejoice.
Capital's Warning seemed to have not played half a point of effect; Shen Yao even effortlessly pressed down all these troublemakers.
Besides, Shen Yao also discovered several good Actor seedlings, directly signing them to her own Company; although she could not Guarantee they would all become hugely popular, they would definitely not lack Acting Scripts, and all would have food to eat.
Actors and stars who previously did not contact Shen Yao's Company much began to actively show goodwill; some even personally visited, just to be able to star in Shen Yao's Company's film and television projects.
It wasn't that they really did something wrong, but they believed that if they didn't Lower Head again, once Shen Yao's side didn't lack Actors, wouldn't they have lost a great opportunity for stable exposure.
The Entertainment Industry is this Reality; don't think everyone will be as Firm as you; there are many ambitionists with one face on the surface and another behind the back; even Backstabbing often appears in the Entertainment Industry; fundamentally, it is still interests that move hearts.
The Entertainment Industry's interests are too great; this is also why Capital currently likes to chase Traffic as the Main reason; you must know those fans are really able to Krypton Gold; a few Magazines can sell for hundreds of millions in value; fundamentally, it is still that the leeks are too fat and can be harvested several crops.
Shen Yao does not like to use Traffic stars, because the harvest and the investment are not proportional, and using these Traffic stars would also Backlash on herself.
But for these Actors and stars who have been famous for a long time, as long as they are not especially demonic existences, Shen Yao would keep a kindness in her heart and continue cooperation.
"Isn't it because they are high quality and low price, and the remuneration they hand over is very low?"
The System exposed its own Host's true face; the Heart Think words sounded nice, but actually it was still inseparable from money; it's just that Shen Yao saving expenses was not for random spending, nor like others embezzling to keep for themselves; she used it to do other more important things.
"This is also one aspect, but more is still that they are sensible. Knowing it cannot be done and doing it anyway, not everyone has this awareness."
Most people really like to go with the flow, and they don't have much Firm belief; maybe today this side is strong, they defect to this side; tomorrow if that side is strong, they will also defect to that side without hesitation.
Leaning back, placing her head on the Chair, Shen Yao Bent her legs, emptying her Brain thoughts.
The System couldn't help but complain again; the Core argument was still the Entertainment Industry's mutual deception, as if its own Host's Writer identity had been thrown into a corner.
Shen Yao: ……
"Recently too busy; moreover, Hongshi Network itself is also constantly having storms," she already had No time to write novels; the contract previously signed with Hongshi Network became waste paper.
Raising Hand to Rubbing her forehead, Shen Yao Suddenly Mentioned the situation on Hongshi Network's side.
Before, wasn't it Reminded that the other party shouldn't do foreign short drama business, but Hongshi Network was Iron-headed and didn't listen to Persuasion; not only did it establish a dedicated short drama Company, it also built its own corresponding short drama playback Platform; the previous investment was huge to the point of being unreasonable, and currently it is stuck on procedural review.
"The foreign government stated these violate the country's laws and are not Permitted to Pass; Hongshi Network wants to Sue, there is a high Probability it will lose."
The System Pursed Lips, thinking in its heart that Hongshi Network has this kind of hitting a wall experience, it should have no time to continue Cause Trouble.
"Regardless of whether Hongshi Network has time or not, this side plans to withdraw Capital from the short drama track; Time Almost, staying longer doesn't Make Money, she should open up a new track, like Jiang Han Zhou."
