Chapter 411: Make a lot of money

Tan Yongquan's face froze. The reason he came to find Hu Xiaoxiao was that he heard that the new general manager of Shengshi Cinema Line was Huang Yuliang's man. He joined Shengshi Entertainment earlier than Hu Xiaoxiao and could be regarded as Huang Yuliang's confidant.

Anyone with a brain knows that it is definitely better to use confidants than outsiders.

Tan Yongquan laughed dryly and said, "Sister Xiao and Ji Sheng negotiated the cinema chain. I think even Mr. Huang would listen to whoever Sister Xiao wants to be the general manager."

"That's because I'm close to Uncle Ji, and it's easier to talk to someone I know, so I volunteered to do the negotiation. But all the money for acquiring the cinema chain came from Mr. Huang, and the management of the company is also Mr. Huang's responsibility." Hu Xiaoxiao looked at him with a half-smile: "If I don't listen to Mr. Huang, should I listen to you?"

He almost said, who do you think you are?

Give you a little face, it's better to give her some face, otherwise if she doesn't give it to you, what do you think you are?

Tan Yongquan suddenly became embarrassed. "I was just saying it casually. I hope Sister Xiao doesn't take it to heart."

"If you don't want to return to Ji's Group, I can call Uncle Ji and tell him. It's not a big deal."

Tan Yongquan's face turned pale immediately. If Hu Xiaoxiao told Ji Sheng, he would not even be able to return to Ji Group.

Since he couldn't get the job of general manager of a cinema chain and couldn't even return to the Ji family, he was truly unemployed.

Tan Yongquan understood what Hu Xiaoxiao meant. He didn't dare to offend Hu Xiaoxiao, so he apologized again and again and left in disgrace.

The general manager of Shengshi Cinema Line was Yuan Jiaqiang, the former distribution manager. Although Yuan Jiaqiang worked in distribution at Shengshi Entertainment, he also previously worked at Ji's Cinema Line and was familiar with the work of Ji's Cinema Line. Furthermore, after the name change, not all employees of Ji's Cinema Line left; most of them stayed.

After Yuan Jiaqiang became the general manager of the cinema chain, the distribution manager was promoted from deputy manager.

After taking over the cinema chain, Yuan Jiaqiang started to get busy. He began to count which cinemas could operate normally, which equipment was old and needed to be repaired or replaced, or which other parts needed repairs, and he would fix them immediately.

Even if they are old cinemas, even if the Ji family has run them to a semi-closed state, these cinemas still belong to the cinema chain according to the contract and they have all been paid.

In other words, even if Shengshi does not open these cinemas, the money will not be refunded.

Yuan Jiaqiang could only renovate these cinemas, replace the equipment, and open them as early as possible, at least to make back the money he spent.

Furthermore, the company will take advantage of this popularity and the summer holiday crowds to grandly release "Baogang Overlord Flower 2". At that time, Shengshi Cinema Line will work together and then cooperate with Shanhai Cinema Line and Baoguang Cinema Line -

The company wants "The Princess Weiyoung 2" to make a comeback with a bang.

To this end, Shengshi Cinemas has already contacted all major film companies in advance. During the summer vacation, Shengshi's screening schedule will focus on "The Princess Weiyoung 2". If other film companies want to have more screenings, it is best to release their films at off-peak times.

Shanhai Cinemas was the first to come out in support and also stated that it would give no less than 50% of the screening time to "Baogang Super Queen 2".

Shanhai Cinema Line suddenly removed 50% of its screenings, leaving a shortage of films for the remaining 50%. If major film companies want to release their films during the summer vacation, they will have to fight for these screenings.

Both major cinema chains have been promoting "Bao Hong Kong Super Queen 2". Another major cinema chain, Baoguang Cinemas, also quickly came out to express its support for Shengshi Entertainment and will arrange as many screenings as possible for "Bao Hong Kong Super Queen 2".

Baoguang Cinemas’ intention is the same as Shanhai Cinemas’. Both have their own film companies. Now I’m doing you a favor, and you’ll return the favor to me in the future. We do business together, and there’s give and take.

The three major cinema chains, due to their shared interests, are mutually reining in each other, and are practically in cahoots with each other to make money. They are now jointly supporting Shengshi Entertainment, whereas a few months ago, Shanhai, Baoguang, and Jishi Cinemas also joined forces to boycott Shengshi Entertainment.

Things change over time, and things may change over time.

After seeing the support statements from the other two major cinema chains, Hu Xiaoxiao sighed that she really needed a say. Otherwise, she would have to run around for the release of "Baogang Superwoman 2" and beg for help from everyone, but the effect would not be so good.

So even though it hurts to spend the money from the theaters, it's worth it.

From now on, no one can, cannot, or dares to stop Shengshi Entertainment’s screening schedule.

But Hu Xiaoxiao felt uncomfortable after spending so much money without making it back.

You have to spend more and more money, otherwise you will lose a lot.

So, Hu Xiaoxiao saw that there was still some time left before summer vacation, so he went to follow the filming of the "Pili Thief" crew, keeping a close eye on the quality of the film and the progress of the film.

"Pili Thief" is a movie created by Hu Xiaoxiao specifically for Xiong Caiwei. The heroine is a world-famous thief, and the hero is an Interpol who is chasing the heroine.

The male lead is Jiang Muyang. This is the first time Xiong Caiwei and Jiang Muyang are paired as a couple.

In addition to producing a movie for Xiong Caiwei, Hu Xiaoxiao also approved a movie project for Jiang Muyang.

She wants to make a lot of money, to earn back the money the theaters have earned, so she has to make a lot of movies. But she is just one person, so she can't make a lot of movies by herself, right?

To make money, she shoots movies non-stop. Not only will she be exhausted, but the quality will be unreliable. More importantly, too frequent releases can easily lead to audience fatigue.

Only occasionally, when a high-quality movie is released, can it continue to arouse the audience's expectations, and will they choose Hu Xiaoxiao when buying movie tickets.

Hu Xiaoxiao has always been clear-headed about her career plans, taking every step with great caution. This industry is brutal. Even though she's incredibly popular now, with thousands of fans following her, if she shows any signs of decline, countless people will come to step in and try to stop her. If they do, all her resources and businesses will be released, leaving many to profit.

Plus, Hu Xiaoxiao is now the boss, so she should let her employees support her, rather than her working like a slave to support her employees. Therefore, new employees need to be trained, and it would be best if a high-quality movie is released every month to make a lot of money for the company.

Hu Xiaoxiao asked the Human Resources Department for a new personnel file and began to familiarize himself with the talents that the company had the potential to cultivate. These talents included not only artists but also directors.

After Shengshi Entertainment established its own cinema chain, its strength shook the film industry, and Huang Yuliang seized this opportunity to recruit talent. During this period, the number of artists, directors, screenwriters, lighting technicians, and other candidates applying for positions at Shengshi Entertainment not only far exceeded previous numbers, but also saw their quality rise several times over.

There are already famous movie stars and big directors, as well as potential stocks who have the ability but lack luck. The Human Resources Department will update a batch of personnel information for Hu Xiaoxiao every once in a while so that Hu Xiaoxiao will have people available at any time.
