I am a nobleman in England

Although the convenience of the Internet age allows people to open a laptop at home to see all kinds of movie resources, but I have to say that some movies are still more feel when sitting in a "dark" movie theater. After all, the stereo effect of the movie theater is super large. The screen is unmatched by computers.

What's more, single dogs can hook up with each other in the movie theater, and the lover party's feelings in the movie theater are heating up rapidly. These all determine the standing of the movie theater.

Of course, the old and unchanging movie theaters will still be eliminated by the times. Only a unique theater that keeps innovating and keeps up with the trend can go on step by step.

As an international metropolis where retro and modern, culture and material touch each other, London's film industry is very prosperous. There are many independent movie theaters that can attract the attention of literary and artistic youths and ensure that they are in a large chain of commercial movie theaters. Win market share in the PK.

What's interesting is that when it comes to British movies, whether it is Angela, or Emily Shaw, Eddie Boleyn, and Arthur who want to be a star, all they have heard are the Harry Potter series...Sadly, Harry Potter is still a Hollywood movie.

Arthur suddenly realized that one of the biggest problems was whether there was such a thing as a "British movie", even many British people wondered.Of course, common sense and reason tell Arthur that it certainly exists.

Well, British intellectuals and fans can provide a lot of evidence to distinguish or explain the various characteristics of British films.However, just like rose and rose, LCD TV and plasma TV, most people are not interested and can't distinguish the difference between British and American movies.

No way, Hollywood has occupied more than 80% of the British film market from the beginning of World War I until today, so that the British zf began to implement the import quota system for American films as early as the 1920s.

After World War II, high tariffs were imposed on Hollywood films, but theaters and audiences would rather review old Hollywood films than support new British films...After the 1950s and 1960s, as the eight major Hollywood companies used England as a location and a talent pool, British films have almost become an outsourcing workshop for the Hollywood production industry.

By the early 1990s, the British film industry was completely at the bottom of its history. The annual output of pure British films was only six or seven, while Hollywood blockbusters, including British and American co-productions, accounted for nearly 90% of the total. market share.

To be honest, Arthur was stunned when he saw these materials. Six or seven movies a year?It has almost reached a miserable, pathetic point. The so-called British cinema is dead in name.

Therefore, you can only lie to yourself. Since 2001, the UK has started to use the co-produced films invested by British independent LI films and major American film companies to classify and count domestic films.This classification objectively clarifies the identity of local British films, and allows British films that are out of the control of major Hollywood film companies to come out. It is convenient for the government to provide special support and subsidies for independent LI films, thereby giving local British films a chance to respite and revive.

However, they can't hold back generations of British filmmakers, all of them are oriented toward Hollywood, and one by one, they are hoping to climb into the Oscars of the screen world.

Therefore, although the Oscar performance awards are almost contracted by the British, they are more only adding points to American films, and when they come back to shoot purely British independent films, their compatriots usually don't buy it.

Over the past ten years, the annual output of pure British films has gradually increased from dozens to more than 100 today, while the US-UK co-produced films have always remained at around 20, but the latter’s box office share has almost always been twice that of the former. the above.

The size of the British film market in the new century has leapt to the forefront of the world, but independent films that have been marginalized have also shined during this period and achieved good results.Even under the strong squeeze of American films, British independent films have been marginalized from the beginning, with extremely low market share and box office revenue.With the improvement of industrial competitiveness, British independent films have gradually begun the process of demarginalization.

Okay, it sounds good. This is the UK's independent LI cinema market is the last stubbornness of the British film industry. The ugly point is that if you don't deceive yourself, what else can you do?

Leicester Square in London, England.

A building was built next to the square in the early 1960s. It was originally designed for theatrical performances and then became a paradise for niche movie lovers. This is the headquarters of Picturehouse Cinemas in London, Prince Cinema.

Over the past fifty years, countless movies have been shown in this Prince's Cinema, with a wide variety of film types.Not only do classic movies often appear here, but they also have a special liking for alternative movies with rotten styles and often leave a place for them.It can be said that the best movies that are rarely seen elsewhere are the main movies here, and it is simply a paradise for movie lovers.

Now that he has decided to enter the entertainment industry, Arthur, who is not short of money, will not be left behind. On the afternoon of listening to Angela’s plan, Arthur asked Angela to contact the person in charge of the Picturehouse theater line and informed him, Ya The young billionaire wants to buy them, and will visit in person the next morning to negotiate the acquisition.

"This is a check for 45 million pounds—"

In the conference room, Arthur in a tall suit with a confident and calm smile on his face, took the check from Angela, who was also smiling, and then just clamped the check on his finger, his eyes bright and sharp. Looking at the directors and executives of Picturehouse theaters across the conference table, they continued.

"I like to go straight. If you agree to my acquisition, then this check will be yours. Your positions will still be retained and continue to help me manage and operate the'Cinema Theater' line!"

The complexion of CEO Bins and other executives of the theater line changed slightly, and their eyes focused on the slightly shaking cash check. The atmosphere in the meeting room became abnormally quiet, and the scrambled breathing was clearly audible.

"Ahem...Mr. Bolin, this is a bit...somewhat too anxious. We only received your takeover offer yesterday, and today we are..." Ms. Bins, CEO of the theater, put it in a large amount. The scorching gaze of the check was retracted, a smile was squeezed out on his face, and the excitement was suppressed, and he wanted to fight for another profit. Seeing Arthur's desire to win, who didn't want to sell more money?

Arthur had sharp eyes, smiled and shook his head slightly, put the check on the conference table, stretched out a finger to press, the corners of his mouth raised, and said calmly: "I said, I like to go straight when I do things. The line's valuation is around 40 to 42 million, and the price of 45 million pounds is very fair.

The UK independent cinema market is booming. There are three boutique cinema chains-your Picturehouse, and Everyman and Curzon.

To be honest, I chose you because I was also a member of the movie studios, and I have some personal feelings in it. Therefore, if you agree, then we will sign the contract now and complete the transaction. If you refuse, then I will Go to the other two.

How to choose, I will give you 15 minutes to discuss..."

As he said, Arthur raised his wrist, looked at the time on the watch, and then showed a bright smile on his face, his teeth were very shiny.
