June 24, Chongqing 100 Union City theater Shanghai Huayi Brothers as the first theater opened.
Wang Huiru that cinema line investment as the country as people dig gold, even more than the open gold mine that has the potential of that feeling.

In addition, the capital of China have targeted theater (cinema) investment, there is a very important reason is that the proportion of high into the temptation. 90% side with foreign producers, and movie theaters (cinemas) compared to 10%, China up to 55 movies a split, "and the theater is once built, no matter what the film, as long as it attendance, can sell for money I was in the cinema, the film can not be bought I will give you the films were shown. in the full market-oriented environment, the theater has full autonomy. relative to the producers, distributors, the risks are a lot less. This is the movie theater charm. "Wang Huiru said network still has co-culture experience in film and independent filmmakers, distribution capabilities, coupled with their own channels if the terminal, we will establish a digital cinema, establishing production, distribution and shows, advertising such a "whole industry chain" business model.

It is understood that investing in a audio-visual hall lowest 10 million investment minimum 550 thousand yuan theater. Cinema network is still open to be taken by an independent multi-hall cinema, theater join, network operators still shares in three ways simultaneously, in order to join the theater to put in 2K, 1.3K, and high-definition digital cinema projection equipment-based play, speed up the pace, and strive to the shortest possible time bigger and stronger this unique digital cinema.

Targeting second and third line cities population

And Wanda cinema on their own commercial real estate expansion and the expansion to a second-tier cities in the central business district is different from network still culture is taking a "first-line driven image of the city theater, second and third tier cities in cinema as a core source of profit, 45 Line Cinema as a township return "model of Dell INSPIRON 9400 Battery. Wang Huiru said that China currently has 85% of cities do not build movie theaters, which means that the second and third tier cities and even towns, there will be a large number of cinemas, and to Beijing, Shanghai and other cities simultaneously showing the latest blockbusters.

"Avatar" of 2 billion U.S. dollars at the box office's hot, led to the popularity of digital cinema, but also to have only first-tier cities are willing to stare at the theater investment, began to find new opportunities. "The traditional theater is the movie content with 20% for 20% of the population, digital cinema is 80% of the content services through more than 80% of the population." Yu-media entertainment industry analyst, said the film is currently showing a unified national , almost at the same time slot, while the adoption of digital cinema, not only synchronous release, can also be under 80% after screening the film to the audience in the provision of on-demand.

"China has 60% -70% of the population in 23 cities, but many of them do not see the movie. I went to Hubei Jingmen, Jingzhou inspected found that some cities were 100,000 people, over many years can not see film. see a "Avatar" to drive several hours to go in Wuhan City. "Wang Huiru, these do not see where the film is still net a place to go to theaters. "It's like Wanda cinema, like a few years ago into the city Qiangde Pan, but our speed will be faster. Now mainly taken in Beijing, Shanghai and other cities in an independent line to open multiplexes in the second and third tier cities to join the theater, net still shares the multiple ways simultaneously operating. "

It is reported that net yet theaters in Wenzhou partners have invested 40 million yuan signed up yet VV8 Digital Cinema Network, and exclusive buyout of 10 years in Wenzhou area franchise chain of studios.

In fact, investment in regional and partner APPLE IBOOK G3 14-INCH SERIES Battery, the network still has a strict selection of theaters, not only for the expansion, visit a site from the beginning to the final contract, it will take 3 to 5 months. Wang Huiru, said co-owners of the first choice, followed by the lessee. In addition, the character of the study is the most important, is not a kind-hearted, it is part, is not it really wants to do things and so on. "There was a Hebei Hengshui partner, to discuss 3 months later, almost to a contract, the last because he could not provide an official invoice and said I need an invoice, he will buy invoices. I think this is very norms, it canceled the cooperation of him. "

However, the standard pricing for different regions will be stationed in second and third tier cities to face issues. Medium and small cities to make the audience more actively into the cinema, the first step is to accept a fare that they can move their pockets.

Net is still cinema plan for the future development of digital cinema in China to account for the total number of one-half of the screen.
