Chapter 1042: The Three-D Problem

Tianhua Film and Television Media Company

In the music director's office, Xiao Yunhai was chatting with Wang Lin and Yue Changting.

Wang Lin pointed to the newspaper and said with a laugh: "You kid is really too good. It was only announced yesterday that you were going to participate in "Singer Night". awesome."

Xiao Yunhai took a sip of tea and said, "They are putting pressure on me. These people are here to take revenge, and their purpose is very clear. They want to defeat me and let their singer win the title of song king."

Wang Lindao: "It's good if you know it. Jiangsu Satellite TV announced that "Singer Night" will no longer be recorded and broadcast, but will be broadcast directly. You have to be careful."

Xiao Yunhai smiled bitterly and said, "If I had known it would cause such a big disturbance, I wouldn't have agreed."

Yue Changting glared at him and said, "What's the matter? Are we still afraid that these people won't succeed. Don't talk nonsense, there are five days to the game, what song are you going to sing?"

Xiao Yunhai took out two pieces of paper and handed them to Yue Changting, saying, "That's it. I came here this time because I want you to help me introduce a Mongolian band. The lead singer should preferably be able to sing the taste of the grasslands."

Yue Changting didn't seem to hear Xiao Yunhai's words, his eyes stared at the lyrics, and after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Good words, good songs, good songs, but the difficulty is extremely high. Also, isn't the tune you chose too high? Even a soprano might not be able to sing it easily."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Teacher Yue, it's fine."

Wang Lin was a little itchy when they were talking about it. He snatched the lyrics from Yue Changting's hand. After reading it, he nodded and said, "I'll help you with the Mongolian band."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Then I will trouble the two teachers."

From Tianhua Film and Television Media Company,

Xiao Yunhai came to the fantasy special effects company, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he met Wu Hao.

"Boss Wu, what are you doing in a hurry?"

When Wu Hao saw Xiao Yunhai, a look of joy flashed across his face, and said, "Boss, I'm going to negotiate with the person in charge of the theater."

"Negotiation?" Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "Is it about the transformation of the cinema's 2D screen into a 3D screen?"

Wu Hao nodded and said solemnly: "That's right. Boss, we are in big trouble. These theaters feel that our price is too expensive, and they will not accept our 3D unless the price is reduced to less than 100,000 US dollars. Screen makeover."

Xiao Yunhai asked, "Which theaters are there?"

Wu Hao pursed his lips and said, "No one of the theaters except the New Huaxia Theater Line agrees."

Xiao Yunhai narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Who are your negotiators today?"

Wu Haodao: "Three foreign cinema chains, Rieter Cinema, Suzuki Cinema and Huamei United Cinema."

Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you."

After Xiao Yunhai heard that everyone rejected the 3D screen, he felt a little problem in his heart, and felt that it was not that simple.

Because those overseas theater chains in Huaxia also represent almost all the theaters in the three major ticket warehouses in Asia and Europe. Huaxia disagrees here, and the Asia and Europe regions will definitely not work, so Xiao Yunhai wants to go together for the first time.

3D special effects technology is the foundation of fantasy. Once it is popular in the world, it will bring him countless wealth. Xiao Yunhai never wants or allows it to go wrong.

The two came to the Rieter Cinema, and under the guidance of a front desk staff member, entered a small conference room on the second floor.

At this time, George, general manager of Rieter Cinema, Chai Guanghui, head of Huamei United Cinemas, and Suzuki Jiro from Suzuki Cinema were sitting there chatting when they saw Xiao Yunhai came, and they all stood up to greet him. .

Xiao Yunhai is one of the top 20 super rich people in the world, how dare the three of them neglect them.

"Mr. Xiao, why didn't you say that you would come to our Lida earlier, so that I could prepare in advance." George's Chinese language is very standard, and he does not have the big tongue of ordinary foreigners.

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Mr. George, you're welcome, I just came here on a whim."

After everyone was seated, a secretary made Xiao Yunhai and Wu Hao a cup of tea.

Xiao Yunhai looked at the three of them, hehe smiled, and said, "I heard Wu Hao say that everyone thinks that my 2D-to-3D technology is too expensive at $350,000, doesn't it?"

Chai Guanghui said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xiao, a movie hall contains a screen and about 250 glasses. According to the price of the fantasy special effects company, it needs at least 420,000 US dollars. This is too expensive, let alone us, I am afraid that all the world's Cinemas can’t afford it.”

George nodded and said, "In addition to being expensive, the future of 3D movies is full of uncertainty. If "2012" doesn't achieve the success you think, then we will lose everything."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "But once '2012' is a success, reaching a box office of more than 15 billion US dollars, do you think the 3D screen will only sell for 3.5 billion US dollars? I can tell you clearly, it's really here. At that time, the price of a screen will be raised to 80 dollars, and the 3D glasses will reach 600 dollars. If you think it is expensive now, you may have to pay double the price in the future. Three, this transaction is not very convertible. ah."

Suzuki Jiro frowned and said, "Mr. Xiao, if you sell it so expensively, I'm afraid no theater will agree."

Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "You guys don't know how much more powerful 3D movies are than 2D movies, that's why you resist such prices. You can imagine that each ticket in the 3D movie hall will be more powerful than the previous 2D movies. The price of the hall is at least twice as high, and it takes less than a month to earn $420,000 back, I don’t think the price is high, and I even think the price we set is a little low.”

Xiao Yunhai was right. Taking a 3D cinema hall with 250 people as an example, the original ticket price of 30 yuan has risen to 60 yuan. If the attendance rate reaches 80%, then only one game can be compared. I had an extra income of 6,000 yuan before, but it is 60,000 yuan in one day. It is very simple to earn back 420,000 US dollars.

Now because 3D movies are new and no one can be sure what the future holds, they are afraid to bet big. But once it becomes popular in the world, not to mention $420,000, even if it is $4.2 million, I am afraid that countless theaters will break out.

Suzuki Jiro said, "Mr. Xiao, do you think "2012" will be a success?"

Xiao Yunhai said confidently: "Of course. Since this is the first 3D movie in the world, the price I want will be three times that of an ordinary movie. No matter which theater chain is willing to convert 2D to 3D, I will give it to me. This movie is put to their screening. It's a mere $420,000, and it may take less than three days to get it. Three, you can't miss this opportunity, you can't lose it, it's absolutely impossible for you to let me lower the price. I Not only will it not drop, but it will even rise desperately. When the time comes, don’t complain that I’m not friendly.”

George said: "Mr. Xiao, let me put it this way, if you don't cut the price, I'm afraid no theater chain will be interested in 3D movies."

Xiao Yunhai asked curiously, "Mr. George, can you tell me what your price is in your heart?"

George thought for a while, and said, "It doesn't matter if I tell you. The 2D screen to 3D screen is $80,000, a pair of glasses is $50, and the camera ranges from several hundred thousand to one million dollars."

Xiao Yunhai was immediately amused, shook his head and said, "I would rather leave the 3D special effects technology on the shelf, and would never agree to such a price. If I guess right, you have clearly joined forces, haven't you?"

Chai Guanghui said: "Yes. Mr. Xiao, you don't need to go to other theaters, because the price of all theaters is the same."

Xiao Yunhai asked, "There should be an initiator for this matter, can you tell me who that person is?"

George smiled: "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, we can't tell you."

Xiao Yunhai said coldly: "It doesn't matter, I will find out sooner or later. At that time, I will let him know what it means to regret the guy who prevented my 3D movies from taking the world by storm."

The three of George looked at each other and observed a moment of silence for Paramount Pictures.

Xiao Yunhai stood up and said with a smile, "Since the three of you have no intention of transforming the 3D cinema, then I won't bother."

George laughed and said, "Mr. Xiao, it's rare to see each other once. Why don't I be the host. How about we all have a drink together?"

Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "No. After the release of "2012", I will wait for the three leaders at the Fantasy Special Effects Company to come to discuss the renovation of the 3D cinema. I will invite everyone to drink at that time."

After sending Xiao Yunhai and Wu Hao downstairs in person, George looked at the car that drove out slowly, thinking of the confidence that Xiao Yunhai showed, and suddenly felt that he seemed to have made a huge mistake.

Chai Guanghui next to him frowned and said, "Why do I feel that things are not as simple as we imagined."

Suzuki Jiro's expression was also very solemn, and said: "Mr. Xiao is so confident, he must be relying on him. I am worried that this time our plan will not only fail, but also may suffer huge losses."

George sighed: "I have a feeling that maybe the three of us will go to the Dream Effects Company to discuss this matter again, as Mr. Xiao said before he left."
