Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Not long after Lin Daoqiu and Fredman Dyson met, the major shareholder of RT Cinemas became a Hong Kong native, and then Marshall, a senior executive of MGM, became the chairman of RT Cinemas.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu could buy all the remaining shares after acquiring RT Cinemas, but he did not do so in the end.

Because once all the shares are bought, it will easily become big news.

Even though RT Cinemas is not the largest theater chain in Hollywood, Lin Daoqiu's move is likely to stimulate other film companies.

But even so, the change in the equity of RT Cinemas has still made it into the pages of many news media.

It's just that the news didn't directly mention it, or it was mentioned implicitly that the acquirer of RT Cinemas was actually Lin Daoqiu.

Because Lin Daoqiu has become the major shareholder of RT Cinemas, this will definitely affect the priorities of Paramount and Fox in this cinema chain.

Jason Green was appointed by Lin Daoqiu as the general manager of RT Cinemas and is still responsible for the overall operations.

Although Jason Green was dissatisfied with Lin Daoqiu parachuting a chairman from MGM, he also understood that this was a normal thing.

After all, Lin Daoqiu bought RT Cinemas, so he has the power to do whatever he wants. It is reasonable to send a chairman to be the supervisor.

"Paramount and Fox and other companies have not responded yet, but I believe they will definitely come to us next."

Lin Daoqiu had been asking RT Cinemas to give MGM the highest priority in arranging films, but Jason Green did not agree to it.

Now that RT Cinemas has become Lin Daoqiu's industry, Jason Green no longer has any reason or qualification to refuse Lin Daoqiu's request.

However, Jason Green is worried that once RT Cinemas raises the priority of MGM to the highest level, it will inevitably affect cooperation with other companies.

"I know you are worried about other companies being dissatisfied with MGM's priorities, but if RT Cinemas becomes the largest theater chain in Hollywood, all of your worries will disappear."

"Mr. Lin is planning to open additional theaters for RT Cinemas?"

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Jason Green's eyes immediately lit up.

The reason why RT Cinemas has never been as famous as other big cinema chains in Hollywood is because the infrastructure, number of theaters and screens are worse than others.

Once these shortcomings are overcome, it is not impossible for RT Cinemas to catch up with ACC Cinemas.

"I work in the film industry, and I am very optimistic about the development of films in the next few decades, so I decided to expand the RT theater chain."

The current RT theater chain alone cannot meet Lin Daoqiu's requirements for theater chains, so Lin Daoqiu must make additional investments to expand the number of theaters and screens.

In addition, Lin Daoqiu also plans to sell all RT Cinemas theaters in suburbs or in poor locations. After all, there is no way to make any money in those places.

"Now we have to carry out two modes of weight loss and weight gain at the same time. You are responsible for helping RT Cinema lose weight, and I am responsible for helping RT Cinema gain weight."

Lin Daoqiu used the words losing weight and gaining weight to describe what RT Cinemas will do next.

Jason Green also thinks these two descriptions of Lin Daoqiu are very interesting, and he is naturally happy to see RT Cinemas develop well.

"From now until the Christmas period, RT Cinemas will cease operations and be closed for renovations."

Lin Daoqiu had visited some theaters in RT Cinemas before, and he found that most of the equipment in this theater was a bit old and out of date.

It’s no wonder that the ticket price is US$0.5-1 less than that of large theater chains such as ACC.

Lin Daoqiu didn't want RT Cinemas to be considered a cheap cinema chain, so he had to renovate RT Cinemas.

Jason Green calculated that if it is closed now and opens before Christmas, it will still be at least a few months.

This means that Lin Daoqiu not only has to invest a huge amount of money, but also has to give up several months of theater income. This is probably something that most businessmen will not do, but Lin Daoqiu is willing to do this. This has to be done.

Let him admire you.

It can be seen that Lin Daoqiu really wanted to make RT Cinemas more competitive, so he did not hesitate to lose money to improve the hardware of the cinemas.

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured that I will complete the weight loss plan as soon as possible. But what should the original employees do?"

Jason Green is worried that once those theaters are sold, the employees who work in the theaters will definitely be affected.

If they were fired like this, it would definitely be bad news for them.

"It will be temporarily diverted to other theaters to help. I have already discussed this issue with Longmeyer before. He will help with the connection, and MGM also has some cooperative theaters, so you don't need to worry about this."

Lin Daoqiu has thought about everything. He has not thought about firing all the employees of these RT theaters. After all, the number of theaters will definitely increase in the future. How can he expel people? He still has to

Recruit more talents.

After this problem was properly resolved, Jason Green was naturally very happy. In his opinion, Lin Daoqiu was obviously much more concerned about the movie than the original boss.

He had barely supported RT Cinemas before, hoping that one day this cinema would develop well.

But I didn't expect that it wasn't until he changed his boss that Jason Green really saw hope.

…………

"Lin Daoqiu bought the RT theater chain and then closed it for renovations? What does he want to do?"

Little Alan Ryder was very surprised after hearing the news. He couldn't figure out what Lin Daoqiu was going to do.

"It is said that RT Cinemas is selling some theaters now. I don't understand what Lin Daoqiu wants to do."

Little Alan Ryder's men couldn't figure out what Lin Daoqiu was going to do.

Since he bought RT Cinemas, why did he suddenly sell the theaters? Is there something wrong with his mind?

"Perhaps he just plans to eliminate some theaters with poor locations. Anyway, Lin Daoqiu has already reached out to the theater chain, and we have to guard against it."

Alan Ryder Jr. has regarded Lin Daoqiu as Fox's number one enemy.

And not only Alan Ryder Jr., but also Barry Diller and he had the same idea. In the past year, Fox and Paramount have had many times more contacts than before.

"Do you think we should also consider investing in some theater chains? Now that the Paramount Act has become a decoration, if we do nothing, we will easily be chased away by others."

Regarding the suggestion put forward by his subordinates, Alan Ryder Jr. said nothing. He just shook his head. It seemed that he was not interested in investing in theater chains.
