Chapter 139: New Art City I

After more than a month of preparation, Lei Juekun's company's first pioneering work "Funny Times" was officially released at 8 o'clock in the evening on October 15, and the theater line was Li Guangyu's Jiayi Cinema. 35xs

Lei Juekun also sent a big invitation on this day, inviting many film company owners and artists to attend the premiere of his company, and Li Guangyu was naturally among his invitations.

Li Guangyu didn't expect the inertia to be so strong, even if Li Guangyu bought Lei Juekun's theater, he still contacted Shi Tian, Mai Jia and Huang Baiming to establish Xinyicheng Film Company, and its first opening film was still "Funny Times".

Tonight's Lisheng Cinema is full of stars, and the journalists in Xiangjiang are not far behind, and a large number of people gather outside the Lisheng Cinema, looking for the target they want to interview.

At half past six in the evening, after dinner, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing went to the Lisheng Theater together.

At this time, there are already some stars in Lisheng Cinema, and the three people of Xinyi City also arrived early, ready to welcome the stars tonight.

The XG Daobao reporter asked Mai Jia: "Mai Sheng, we all know that you have established Struggle Pictures Company before, what makes you willing to Lei Sheng to control your company and change its name to New Art City?"

Mai Jia replied: "Nowadays, the film industry in Hong Kong is developing rapidly, and our company was relatively weak in the past, and it was unable to support the rapid development of the company. 35xs and Leichen also likes the industry and can help the company a lot. For example, the relationship between Leisheng and Jiayi Group can bring great convenience to our company. ā€

In the face of many reporters' questions, after answering a few questions, Mai Jia and the three of them said goodbye to the reporters and entered the Lisheng Cinema on the grounds that they wanted to prepare for the premiere of the movie, among which Mai Jia stayed outside the Lisheng Cinema and prepared to welcome the arrival of the personnel.

As the time came to seven o'clock, well-known artists and directors in Hong Kong appeared one after another.

When Wu Xianglin, general manager of Jiayi Film Company, came to Lisheng Cinema, reporters surrounded him.

A reporter from Oriental Daily asked: "Wu Sheng, we all know that your film company has always occupied a major position in the Jiayi Cinema Line, and now the establishment of the New Art City, and with the relationship between Lei Sheng and Li Sheng, will this affect your company?"

It is impossible to say that there is no impact, and the Lei family is now not short of money, and the establishment of the new art city will definitely occupy a part of the film schedule of Jiayi Cinema.

If the movies shot by your company do not perform well, even if they belong to the same group, Jiayi Cinema Line will also schedule a good schedule to Xinyi City, and Jiayi Cinema Line will not make money for itself, and the year-end results will depend on profits.

Wu Xianglin replied: "There are many schedules for Jiayi Cinemas, and our film company is obviously unable to meet the needs of cinema companies. 35xsā€

"In terms of whether or not it has an impact on our film company, I think even if it has an impact is good and positive. In this way, with competition, we can make better films. ā€

A reporter from Jiayi TV asked: "Wu Sheng, now Vice President Shi Nansheng has been concentrating on the affairs of the group headquarters, do you have any plans to take over the film company from Vice President Shi Nansheng?"

Wu Xianglin replied: "I will lead the development of the film company in accordance with the plan formulated by Vice President Shi Nansheng, and our company is still in the market of Southeast Asia, Japan, Baodao and other places." ā€

After answering a few questions, Wu Xianglin left the circle of reporters and walked towards the Lisheng Theater.

At half past seven, Lei Juekun came to the Lisheng Theater, and he was full of emotion about this place, the place that once belonged to him is now someone else's.

However, he did not regret the sale of the theater, not to mention that it was sold at a higher price than the market price at that time, that is, Kowloon Development took over the construction of the Lee Building, which made him a lot of money. Moreover, with the funds from the sale of the theater invested in Kowloon Development, he is now the controlling shareholder of Kowloon Development, and he is no longer worried about suddenly discovering that Kowloon Development will change hands one day.

After Lei Juekun got off the bus, a reporter from Xiangjiang Daily asked: "Lei Sheng, the real estate industry is developing rapidly, what is the reason for you to take your energy from Kowloon Construction to enter the film and television company?"

Lei Juekun said with a smile: "The real estate industry in Xiangjiang is very good now, but I also have to think about the future, no industry can be good forever, and now the film industry in Xiangjiang is rising, and entering the film industry is the first step in the diversification of our Lei family." ā€

A reporter from Ming Bao asked: "Lei Sheng, you have never entered the film industry before, do you have confidence in the development of Xinyicheng, and what are your plans for Xinyicheng in the future?"

"I have handed over the specific management of the new art city to Mai Jia, Shi Tian, and Huang Baiming, I think they are still very experienced in the development of films, and I also believe that they can lead the new art city, as for the future plan, I can't reveal it to you for the time being. ā€

Not long after Lei Juekun arrived, Golden Harvest's Wrinkle Huai, He Guanchang and Chen Long came to Lisheng Theater together.

The reporter here wants to interview Wrinkle Huai the most today, you must know that the competition between the two film companies of Xiangjiang Golden Harvest and Jiayi has entered a white heat. With Run Run Shaw putting all his energy into the wireless side, Shaw Brothers films have been declining, and now Golden Harvest and Jiayi are competing for the position of the leading film in Hong Kong.

After Wrinkle Huai and the others came over, the reporters all greeted him.

The TVB reporter asked: "Fu Sheng, when the competition between you and Jiayi entered a stalemate, the Lei family invested a lot of money to establish a new art city, and it is obvious that there is a current alliance with Jiayi, do you have a peaceful opinion on this?"

Wireless reporters are here to fan the flames, anyway, several are Shaw Brothers competitors, and the fiercer the fight, the better.

Wrinkled Huaizhi has felt very depressed since Lee Guangyu entered the film industry. Originally, it looked like the Shaw Brothers had been boiled down, and his film company could reach the top of Xiangjiang, but Jiayi broke in.

Nowadays, although the two film companies are evenly divided, it is only by relying on the resources of Jiayi Group and Li's groups that Jiayi Film Company can compete with its own Golden Harvest, and it has the confidence to compete with Jiayi.

It's good now, and Jiayi haven't decided the winner yet, Lei Juekun broke in again, this is another master who is not short of money, and it is obviously Jiayi's ally, and he has not been in a good mood for more than a month.

Wrinkled replied with a stubborn face: "We welcome the new art city to join, we Xiangjiang Film want to go out, it is not enough to rely on one or two film companies, we hope that Xiangjiang will have more and more excellent film companies, so that our Xiangjiang Film will be more competitive." ā€
