After inspecting Qing Ning Entertainment Company, Zhao Yi went to Time Cinema Company the next day to check on the situation.
Yesterday I learned about the production progress of "The Legend of Pangu". According to the normal speed, it will be completed in more than a month, and then Time Cinema will be needed to broadcast it.
The current film screen cannot show the effect of 3D special effects movies. If Time Cinema is not ready yet, he plans not to release it in China for the time being.
Hong Kong Time Cinema Company learned through Lin Hexia that the theaters that have been under construction have been renovated and are now playing movies from other film companies.
This kind of 2D movie cannot reflect the advantages of IMAX-3D. The movie-goers just treat it as a new projection system, and because it is a new theater brand, there are not many viewers, so it is good to be able to maintain capital. .
Whether it is the Mainland Time Cinema Company or the Hong Kong Time Cinema Company, they all need a real 3D special effects movie to open up the situation and build this cinema chain brand.
There are not many cinemas in developed countries. As a new cinema chain brand, it needs to reflect its own advantages in order to stand out from the crowd.
The advantage of Time Cinema lies in the IMAX-3D screen. Without good 3D film sources, their advantages cannot be reflected and brand recognition cannot be gained.
If it is the first full 3D theater and the first theater to show 3D special effects blockbusters, it will definitely become famous. There is no need to pay the media for soft advertising, they will consciously report on it.
Of course, the premise is that the first step of the 3D movie needs to be well-made and can really give the audience a visual feast. It would be better if the plot can be recognized.
Although Zhao Yi is confident, he does not dare to guarantee whether the plot of "The Legend of Pangu" can be recognized by audiences in all countries. After all, the cultural gap is there, and it can only be said that it is within their acceptance range.
Culture is the most difficult thing to explain. Sometimes you clearly make movies according to the other party's cultural preferences, but the feedback is often mediocre, and you may even be ridiculed by the other party.
This shows that you have not yet understood the essence of other people's culture, and what you do is not pure enough. But if it is truly pure, other markets will be lost. This is a dilemma. You can only "seek common ground while reserving differences" and try not to offend the other party.
If Zhao Yi hadn't made a phone call before coming here, it is estimated that Zhao Yi's visit might have been missed. Zou Qimin happened to be in Zhengzhou today to inspect the construction of the theater line.
Now the trading company has completed the construction of the main buildings in the first batch of 500 comprehensive shopping malls across the country, and the interiors are being decorated according to these different uses.
Therefore, the Shiguang Cinema Line in charge of Zou Qimin also started renovation work, even earlier than the decoration time of the comprehensive shopping mall. Almost as soon as the main building was completed, Zou Qimin arranged for decoration personnel to come in to decorate the theater floors.
Time Cinema was established in September this year, and now it is almost 1984. It has been almost four months, and there are almost no results to be achieved.
Because of this, Zou Qimin was particularly anxious. During this period, he frequently inspected the decoration situation of theaters in various places. Fortunately, Shiguang Cinema Company was not short of money and contracted all the decorations to the construction company, so he did not have to be responsible for it. Decoration materials, otherwise I would be very busy with these things.
In the past four months, Time Cinema has done nothing. At least it has recruited enough employees for each theater, and the employees are all locals of the theater.
Then let them go to Beijing for intensive training, mainly on the use of new projection equipment, relevant rules and regulations, service training in ancillary commercial facilities, front desk service etiquette, etc.
For Zou Qimin, everything is ready now. All he needs is the theater's shareholder style. Moreover, these employees need to be subsidized when they are recruited. Although it is not full salary, it is still an expense.
If he works like this, one day is a day's loss, which is nothing. If it delays the release of the movie and Zhao Yi gets angry, it will be enough for him.
Due to lack of confidence, Zou Qimin heard that Zhao Yi was coming to inspect, and quickly compiled the preliminary preparations into relevant information, which was very detailed.
The main purpose was to highlight that he had not done anything in the past few months. When Zhao Yi sat in Zou Qimin's office, Zou Qimin felt as if he had been stabbed by a needle in his buttocks.
Seeing Zou Qimin's look, Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Don't feel so bad. I'm not here to investigate, I just want to understand the situation."
To be honest, the slow progress of Time Cinema is not entirely Zou Qimin's problem. After all, no matter how we proceed, we have to wait until the trading company completes the construction of the comprehensive shopping mall building.
This is not something he can decide. The main reason for coming here this time is to see their preparations and whether the theater can be put into operation immediately once the renovation is completed.
Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Zou Qimin felt a little relieved. The nervousness was mainly due to two reasons. One was that he was afraid of Zhao Yi's attack.
Second, I felt that the work I had done in the past few months was not worthy of the salary I received, so I felt guilty.
Especially when the matter has not been completed, there is no way to prove that you are capable of earning such a salary.
People at this time generally had the simple idea that their labor was worthy of their remuneration, especially craftsmen, who valued this more.
Because for thousands of years, this tacit understanding has been the reason why they have been able to survive. Whether the work they do is good or not, and whether they do a lot of work, are all seen by their employers. Only when they are satisfied will they be able to hire them next time. Work.
This special relationship is caused by the limited scope of activities in ancient times. Most craftsmen provide services to the surrounding people. If their reputation is bad, it will be difficult to receive work in the future.
Unlike now, if you can't deceive here, you can just continue to deceive in another place, so it doesn't matter if your reputation is ruined, which is why scammers keep trying.
Zou Qimin comes from a small county town. This small place still retains such simple ideas. After hearing Zhao Yi's words, he quickly said: "All our theaters have begun to be renovated. During this period, I visited every theater to urge them to The construction party is speeding up the progress of the project, and at the current pace, the decoration is expected to be completed within a month."
After hearing Zou Qimin's report, Zhao Yi said: "Don't be so nervous. The slow progress in the early stage is not your fault. I will not ignore the facts and vent my anger on you.
As long as it doesn't delay the release of Lime Entertainment's film, of course, if you don't do a good job in preparatory work and the official opening is delayed, then it will be your responsibility. "
"We have recruited all employees and carried out all training tasks. We are currently strengthening targeted training for some weak links in the assessment to ensure that all employees are qualified." After that, Zou Qimin will also The relevant documents were handed to Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi picked up the information and read it at a glance. Not to mention, the training content inside was quite detailed and involved all aspects of theater operation.
After reading this information, it showed that Zou Qimin had done a good job in the preliminary work, but he still didn't understand that Zhao Yi usually wouldn't pay attention to such details, but only paid attention to the general direction.
Persons in charge of other companies would generally not show detailed information like this to him. The main thing is to ensure that there are no problems in the general direction.
What Zhao Yi reported was also some big directional issues. You must know that Zhao Yi has many companies. If he knew them all in such detail, he would basically have no free time.
Of course, Zou Qimin doesn't have much contact with him at ordinary times. He only has a high school education and is still a bit lacking in management. But since Zhou Ling and himself have chosen him as the person in charge of the Time Cinema Company, they must have his advantages in management. Deficiencies can be made up by learning slowly.
After reading the information, Zhao Yi handed the document back to Zou Qimin and said, "I looked at it carefully and found that your employee training information is very detailed and takes care of all aspects of training.
It's just that some details need to be adjusted according to the actual situation. This can be adjusted slowly in the future. After the adjustments are made, it can be used as a formal training material. It seems that you have put a lot of effort into this aspect. "
Hearing Zhao Yi's words of appreciation, the "needle" under Zou Qimin's buttocks finally disappeared, and his expression became more natural. He said: "This is the result of the collective efforts of the entire company. How can I think so comprehensively by myself?"
Zhao Yi did not dwell on this matter and said directly: "You just need to ensure that all theaters are completed within a month. You can't just rush for time. Quality is the top priority.
Especially when audiences come to watch movies, if quality problems cause injuries or other incidents, you will have to bear the penalty. "
This is something we must remind you. You cannot ignore quality issues just because you are in a hurry. Especially in places with dense crowds like theaters, you cannot cause a major disaster just because of some small problems.
Therefore, all aspects must be considered, and various emergency situations must be drilled before opening.
"You also need to prepare a pre-opening drill plan. On the one hand, it is a drill for various major accidents, such as fires, earthquakes, etc. You need to come up with a plan so that all employees know how to deal with these situations. .
On the other hand, it is a preview of the operation after the opening, so that it can proceed in an orderly manner after the opening. "
After hearing Zhao Yi's words, Zou Qimin quickly promised to prepare a detailed drill plan.
In fact, Zou Qimin really didn't notice what Zhao Yi said. At this time, there was no company drill on how to deal with disasters such as fires and earthquakes. They did have a plan for the opening preview.
After explaining to Zou Qimin, Zhao Yi asked him to take him to inspect the overall situation of the company.
To be honest, there are very few people in the company's headquarters. The total number of people does not exceed a hundred. They are all basic functional departments. However, the theater employees currently being trained are not here, but scattered in several places. They have too many people and can only Deal with it this way.
Now there are 5,000 employees responsible for the operation of the theater screening room alone, and then there are more than 10,000 employees in the theater's own restaurants and other ancillary businesses, adding up to more than 15,000 people.
It is impossible to have such a large single venue to cater for so many people training. (End of chapter)
