As mentioned earlier, the film industry in China is basically divided into four major factions.

South, Beijing, Northwest and Jiangnan.

The representative of the southern department is Weibao Film and Television Company, the largest old film and television giant established by Zhou Dou, which once occupied half of the sky of the movie, or even a little more.

And the number one among the actors, the world's most famous Chinese superstar Chen Hao, was supported by Zhou Dou back then.

To this day, Chen Hao is still called Zhou Dou's godfather.

The second-ranked actor Sun Dahe is also from the southern department, but he relies more on himself.

But after becoming famous, he still cooperates more with the familiar Weibao Film and Television, and usually these actors in the southern department are also easier to get his favor and support.

In second place is the capital department.

The capital mainly occupies the terrain, because this is one of the centers of the country, and even in terms of film and television, it is the first, there is no second, so the film and television companies and film and television actors who stay here are the most.

Many outstanding talents from all over the country, including those from the southern department, have come to Huajing to find opportunities.

The remaining two of the three traditional film groups, Daqi Entertainment and Yanhuang Pictures, are headquartered in Huajing.

Shanhai.com, the world's largest video website, has also moved its headquarters to Huajing.

This giant company, which has a valuation of more than $120 billion, is a company that has attracted more attention from actors and fans than Daqi Entertainment and Yanhuang Pictures.

The rest of the more than 100 film and television companies, large and small, are even more dazzling to people in the circle.

The third is the Northwest Department, where the main ones are directors.

Among the six major directors in the country, three were born in the northwest.

The first Hao He, Wang Mu and Yan Shan.

How influential are they on films?

Among the top ten movies, there are also super red films such as "The Gift of Room No. 7", and 6 of them are directed by them on the list.

With this strength alone, they can become the number one in the director's circle.

Originally, the fourth place was the Jiangnan system, which was the weakest one.

Originally, they relied on Huhai, which is one of the three major film and television schools, Shanghai Opera, and there are also many TV drama production and variety show production companies.

The second-rate Maverick Film and Television and Xuanwu Movies are both in Shanghai.

But now it's different.

The Jiangnan system gradually shifted to Lin'an as the center.

Because Lin'an has two giants, Abao Technology and Shining Technology, both of which have successively set foot in the entertainment industry.

Yang Feng established Abao Entertainment at the beginning of last year, merging Xincheng Film and Television, Aowei Culture, Fengrui Media and Yuzu.com, and then went public through backdoor listing, setting a market value of up to 150 billion.

At that time, Abao Entertainment surpassed the market value of Weibao Film and Television of 11.5 billion US dollars and became the No. 1 film and television group in China.

It's a pity that such a hard-patched entertainment company doesn't have its own works to speak.

waited until several movies and TV series suffered huge losses in a row, even Yang Feng's face was useless.

Abao Entertainment plummeted directly to below 60 billion, which is already lower than the acquisition cost price.

Yang Feng has even become a joke in the entertainment industry during this time, and many people who once admired him secretly laughed at him for his inadequacy.

Shining Technology has also developed rapidly, they not only actively learn from Shanhai.com, make their own movies and TV series, but also buy out movies and TV series, produce variety shows and so on.

Although the momentum is not too fierce, it is a fast pace of progress.

If they can develop, they may be able to compete for second or even first place.

The most important factor supporting the growth of these two companies is money.

Money is a good thing.

Ma Baba is rich, so he can be a father to many people, and countless people are scrambling to call him dad.

Even a big director like Hao He will bend his waist for money.

This is not the simple era of 40 years ago, when movies were made at various film studios, and the director received a salary of one or two hundred yuan, and nothing else was useless.

The actors are even more pitiful, they get a salary of 50 yuan a month, and a subsidy of 50 yuan, even if it is a very high salary.

At that time, everyone regarded making movies as a serious job, and they didn't care about anything else, they just wanted to make movies well.

So all kinds of literary movies of that era seem to be very classic.

It's different now.

The first thing to focus on when making a movie is investment.

The more you invest, the more likely you are to make a good movie.

For example, hiring good directors, good actors, buying good scripts, and better post-production methods, and even all kinds of intensive bombardment publicity.

These are all important factors that contribute to the success of a good movie.

You can say that with these, you may not be able to succeed, but without these, I am afraid that only one or two out of a hundred movies will succeed.

Therefore, even Hao He, after turning to the shooting of commercial films, hopes that he has a lot of money in his hands, so that he can have more choices.

With Hao He's current status, there are only a handful of companies that can support his films.

Because in recent years, the cost of Hao He's films has been increasing, and the requirements are becoming more and more demanding, which is not at all satisfied by ordinary companies that want to make quick money.

Basically, it is the dozen or so film companies that are qualified and able to invite Hao He to shoot movies.

Hao He is not like Zhang Huawei, he can make one for as little as 20 or 30 million, or 350 million, and Zhang Huawei is famous for not picking actors.

Zhang Huawei is an excellent director who can cook with any ingredients, although they may not all be delicious, but they can definitely meet people.

Hao He can't.

He doesn't have good conditions, he doesn't have a script that really inspires him, and without the best actors, his movies will be unsatisfactory.

Therefore, Hao He's movies in recent years have not achieved very good results.

The recent "Long Hate", that is, Ye Xiaoyu rejected the work of "Love Letter" for this movie, and invested 100 million, but the result was only barely recouped.

Although it is good in terms of artistic effect and has won several awards, compared with the box office reputation of "Love Letter", Chen Qian won the actress of the Busan International Film Festival with this film, it is far worse.

Ye Xiaoyu didn't say anything on the surface, but in fact, he must have been very depressed in his heart.

Hao He knows this.

But he didn't say anything at the time.

Because he didn't know what to say, and he didn't know how to get shamed.

However!!

Now, Hao He has finally found an opportunity!

Holding the 100 million advance preparation funds given by Yang Feng and the script of "New Dragon Gate Inn" by Mr. Chu Liuxiang, Hao He knew that after so many years, he finally caught a king bomb!!
