Chapter 289: New Changes in the Film Industry
The news of the division of the film production department of the Oriental Film Company has already caused uncertainty among other film companies in Hong Kong. Now, after the list of signed artists of Oriental Star Agency has been publicized, many film companies such as Golden Harvest and New Art City have been terrified.
Xinyicheng is very famous, which is true, after all, it was comparable to Golden Harvest and Oriental Film Company. But the reason why it can be compared to Golden Harvest is because there is Lei Juekun's Golden Princess Entertainment Company in the back.
If the distinction is strictly based on strength, there is basically no company in Hong Kong that can compare with the Oriental Film Company that is in full swing at this time. It is not modest to say that only the cooperation between Golden Harvest and New Art City can be compared with Oriental Film Company.
When the later generation of Media Asia Film Company was dominant in the entertainment industry, there were already discordant voices in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and now Xu Ziming's Oriental Film Company not only signed most of Hong Kong's well-known directors, but also star artists are no worse than radio stations.
At this moment, the Oriental Film Company is more brilliant than the future Media Asia, and it is normal for those engaged in the Hong Kong film industry to panic, no one wants to make money, and cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.
Major newspapers were paying attention to the news that Cheng Long's "Police Story" broke 26 million at the box office, and at this moment, the "Hong Kong Commercial Daily" suddenly published a news with the title: "In order to seek stability in the Hong Kong film industry, dozens of film companies jointly proposed the establishment of the Hong Kong Film Industry Association".
As soon as the report of "Hong Kong Commercial Daily" came out, other media came back to their senses. Thinking of the dominance of Xu Ziming's Oriental Film Company, coupled with the fact that the list of signed artists of the Oriental Star Agency was reported yesterday, other film companies in Hong Kong will cope with the current situation in order to protect themselves, and there will inevitably be such a drama in the future.
When some newspapers were reporting on the film association, many newspapers were reporting on the latest progress of the cooperation between Princess Jin and Golden Harvest to form a joint cinema chain.
As for the Hong Kong Film Society, which is being dumped by other film companies in Hong Kong, it has not notified Hong Kong's powerful film companies such as New Arts City, Golden Harvest, and Oriental Film Company.
A group of small school film companies are completely selfish in it. Although the Hong Kong Film Industry Association proposed by the small company has not yet been recognized by the Hong Kong government, if the turmoil continues to intensify, it is estimated that it will not be long before the establishment of the Film Association is also an inevitable trend.
............
Outside the gate of the Golden Princess Cinema, Lei Juekun was blocked by reporters early in the morning.
The reporters rushed to ask: "Boss Lei, is Golden Princess Entertainment Co., Ltd. cooperating with Golden Harvest to curb the development of Oriental Film Company?"
Li Maowen, the theater manager next to Lei Juekun, smiled calmly: "In extraordinary times, Oriental Film Company has developed rapidly recently, and it has become a dominant company in the Hong Kong film industry, which makes all Hong Kong film companies feel a full sense of crisis. If we don't take appropriate countermeasures in a timely manner, Hong Kong film companies like us will soon have no way out. ”
At this moment, the Golden Princess Entertainment Company has become a representative of justice and advocates for the interests of other film companies in Hong Kong. In fact, Hong Kong reporters know that this is a manifestation of the golden princess's weakness, and they are afraid that the Oriental Film Company will squeeze too much of its development space.
When the reporters heard this, they became even more energetic and continued to ask: "The two companies Golden Princess and Golden Harvest have always been competing before, can the two parties really cooperate?"
Li Maowen explained: "Mr. Lei and Mr. Zou Wenhuai of Golden Harvest have talked many times, and there is no problem with cooperation. ”
Another reporter asked: "After the restructuring of the Oriental Film Company, it strives to set an example in the film industry and improve the quality of Hong Kong films, why does Princess Jin still target the Oriental Film Company and not follow suit?"
Li Maowen first complained: "Oriental movies have always been very popular, this is known to everyone. However, the ambition of the Oriental Film Company is also getting bigger and bigger, and the division of the film department is already Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it. Oriental Film Company wants to achieve the first position in any film genre, which is completely arrogant in the heart of Yoro. Besides, the artists signed by the Oriental Star Agency, everyone is familiar with, and the famous artists are basically under it, which is really difficult for other film companies in Hong Kong to live. ”
The reporters couldn't help but nod their heads, and then asked: "Recently, many film companies in Hong Kong have jointly proposed to create a film association, why hasn't Princess Jin been notified?"
Li Maowen knew that this issue was not what he should talk about as a small character, so he asked Lei Juekun to come, Lei Juekun signaled to Li Maowen, and said: "There is no effect on the small film company in doing this, since the establishment of the Film Industry Association, it needs a big film company with strength and background to call the shots." ”
Lei Juekun's words are not unreasonable, if it is a joint organization of Oriental Film Company, Golden Harvest, and Golden Princess, maybe the Hong Kong government doesn't have to think about it, everyone recognizes the existence of this film industry association, and if it is a few small film companies, then the right to speak is particularly not worth mentioning.
At the same time that Lei Juekun responded to the media reporter's question about him, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and others, who had just driven to the gate of Jiahe Company, were unexpectedly chased and intercepted by reporters.
"Mr. Zou, does Golden Harvest really want to join Princess Jin to curb the development of Oriental Film Company?"
A reporter stopped directly in front of the car.
"What?" Zou Wenhuai deliberately didn't hear it, He Guanchang on the side smiled intentionally, and hurriedly said: "We and Princess Jin are only cooperating in movies and theaters, and we don't have any hostile meaning towards Oriental Film Company." ”
"Mr. Zou, will Golden Harvest join the Hong Kong Film Society?"
Zou Wenhuai yawned and said disdainfully: "I haven't written a word yet, of course I support the affairs of the Hong Kong Film Association, but the purpose must be based on the business philosophy of Hong Kong films." ”
To tell the truth, Zou Wenhuai really looks down on the film associations created by these small film companies, if there is no film source, if there is no theater chain, just with this strength, he dares to directly bypass Hong Kong's big film companies to do it.
Zou Wenhuai added another sentence to this matter: "The affairs of the Hong Kong Film Association, Golden Harvest will strongly support and contribute to the development of Hong Kong's films." ”
Hong Jinbao left Golden Harvest angrily, and joined Xu Ziming's Oriental Film Company with Pan Disheng's Debao, this incident made Zou Wenhuai very angry, and Xu Ziming's retribution was not small, and he made out the classification of the film production department, which made people even more angry, Golden Harvest finally waited for the Shaw Brothers, and now when it is about to show its ambitions, how can it allow Oriental Film Company to develop like this.
Finally, when the reporter asked Zou Wenhuai again about his opinion on the dominance of the Oriental Film Company, Zou Wenhuai only summed it up in one sentence, "Hong Kong star artists have ten buckets, and Oriental Film Company has four buckets." ”
When the small film companies in Hong Kong that have been hit by Xu Ziming's films are running the streets and building alliances everywhere, Xu Ziming is choosing a suitable person to take charge of the operation of the Oriental Star Agency.
The Hong Kong media has always made a fuss, and it is normal for small film companies to form a team for their own interests.
As for the cooperation between Princess Jin and Golden Harvest, this reminded Xu Ziming of his previous life, when Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers joined forces to curb the development of Golden Princess's subsidiary, Xinyicheng.
If a company is too strong, it will encounter the envy and suppression of its peers, which is an eternal truth in business.
The evening breeze rustled the curtains, Ye Zhiming leaned on the sofa in the office of Feitu Records, flipped through the news from Japan, and said in surprise: "Mr. Xu, Priscilla's records have successfully entered Japan, although in terms of sales, the results are average, but this is also a great success." ”
Since being warned by Xu Ziming, Ye Zhiming tried his best to let Chen Huixian avoid direct competition with Anita Mui, and instead looked at the Japanese music market, but fortunately, Chen Huixian did not disappoint.
"I know, there's all the fuss about. Xu Ziming stepped on his leather shoes and came from the water dispenser, and threw the newspaper in his hand in front of Ye Zhiming, Chen Huixian's matter, he has always been very careful, this is the news the day before yesterday.
Tsuburaya is acting as an agent for the release of Feitu Records in Japan, and Xu Ziming is also arranged, but these things are not what Xu Ziming is thinking about now.
"This is?" Ye Zhiming rubbed for a moment, picked up the newspaper, and adjusted his comfortable posture to read the contents of the newspaper.
"This is a famous hall made by peers in the Hong Kong film industry, you just need to look at part of the content of the Oriental Star Agency. ”
Ye Zhiming glanced at it a few times, happy and sad: "I have never experienced such a scene when I made movies before. The current situation of the Oriental Film Company has long broken the situation of the three kingdoms, and it is not just a situation where one plus one is greater than two. ”
Ye Zhiming told the truth, when he ran the film company in the past, although the company had a great reputation, because the theater chain was controlled by others, it could not reach the point where everyone was extra vigilant.
"The situation of Oriental Film Company is not what I am most worried about, and I urgently need a talent who can take care of my Oriental Star Agency. ”
"It's also a star brokerage company, and there are hundreds of big stars who have signed contracts, do you have the right person to recommend to be responsible for the management of the company. Xu Ziming continued.
"If you give me $10 million and tell me to invest in a movie, I might be able to make some money. Ye Zhiming joked.
Xu Ziming said: "Personal ability is always limited, as for the right person, I thought of an agent like Chen Shufen at the beginning, but she is from Huaxing Records and will not come." ”
Ye Zhiming said simply: "Isn't Huang Baigao very good, why don't you consider letting him be in charge of your brokerage company." ”
Xu Ziming said: "Just let him be in charge of Priscilla in Feitu." ”
Ye Zhiming nodded knowingly, with Xu Ziming's liking for Chen Huixian, Huang Baigao's agent was specially customized for Chen Huixian.
couldn't help but think about it for a long time, Ye Zhiming suddenly thought of a familiar agent, he said: "How about Chen Jiaying? I have a friend who told me that this person is good at taking care of star artists, and Chen Baiqiang was responsible for the concert held by Chen Baiqiang at the beginning, and the effect was very good." ”
Ye Zhiming added: "Her management skills should be very strong. ”
Who Chen Jiaying is, Xu Ziming really doesn't know, he subconsciously nodded in approval.
In Xu Ziming's view, Ye Zhiming's vision is okay, and the people he selected must have their own uniqueness, and there should be no problems in terms of ability.
