572 [Movie Empire]
Airport, at the pick-up gate---
There was a crowd of people, all of them surrounded by people.
The crowd of black oppressors all stared at Song Zhichao standing in the middle with anticipation, waiting for his next big revelation.
Song Zhichao smiled and said loudly: "Maybe everyone thinks that I am exaggerating when I say this, but I say that it is all a plan for the future." Hong Kong must become strong, and Hong Kong films must be reunified! A unified Hong Kong film company, a monopoly film company, will become an unbreakable fortress. I want to turn Hong Kong cinema into an Asian film industry empire!"
"Yes. You heard it right, it is the industrialized film empire--- Hollywood has taken this path, so the current Hollywood movies can also turn the giant wheel and crush all the film markets in the world. ”
"The United States relies on the export of Hollywood movies, exports their capitalist culture, exports their American will, Americans save the world, the United States saves the universe, why can't we?"
"What I want to do is to gather all the film resources in Hong Kong, actors, venues, directors, screenwriters, editors, lighting engineers, and even a small scene reporter--- all assemble to build a powerful film machine, and under my leadership, become a castle that crushes Asian films!"
Song Zhichao's words made everyone around him enthusiastic.
You must know that Hong Kong people have always been proud of Hong Kong films, and they also believe that Hong Kong films are Hong Kong's most powerful soft power and a third industry that has been recognized by the world --- the world.
For example, "Baohe Film Company" is a workshop-style film company created by Sammo Hung after becoming famous. Sammo Hung has a very good relationship with "Golden Harvest", and Golden Harvest used to praise Sammo Hung and shoot a lot of popular movies.
However, with the growth of Jackie Chan's power in Golden Harvest, it has affected Sammo Hung status. Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan are brothers again, the two of them are a little unreasonable to fight in a nest, and it is even worse to be reported by the media, so with the support of Golden Harvest, Sammo Hung left Golden Harvest to start a new stove and established Baohe Film Company, which became the outsourcing company of Golden Harvest Company.
If Golden Harvest has some scripts that can't be filmed in time, they will be thrown to Sammo Hung who uses Golden Harvest's resources and his own resources to shoot this drama, and then release it in Golden Harvest's theaters, and finally everyone shares the money.
In addition to Sammo Hung such a workshop-style film company, there are also Wang Jing's "Wang Jing Studio", as well as Jet Li's own "Zhengdong Film Company", etc., which are basically small companies established by some big stars by relying on plug-in big film companies and starting from scratch, that is, workshop-style operations, which cannot become a climate.
In addition to this kind of unfashionable workshop-style film company, the most eye-catching thing in Hong Kong is the family-owned film company, the most famous of which is "Yongsheng Film", which is controlled by the Xiang brothers almost inside and outside, and outsiders can't interfere.
In fact, the closest thing to industrial production in Hong Kong is the old Shaw Brothers Film Company, which basically established Shaw Brothers Studios after defeating several of its old rivals, Cathay Pacific and Denmao Film Company, and built a huge cinema chain with its own film production department, director's department, screenwriting department, actor training classes, and even a film production factory...... It's a pity that in the civil war with Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers finally gave up the film market--- to be precise, Mr. Shao thought that TV would replace movies, so he shifted his position, began to enter the TV industry, and established TVB, making the Shaw Brothers films, which were about to be industrialized, finally became an empty shell.
Looking at the Hong Kong film industry in front of you, you can describe it in one sentence--- a group of demons dancing wildly, and a plate of scattered sand.
Song Zhichao is a person who has come over, he sees everything in his eyes, for him, he doesn't want to be a savior, nor does he want to save the Hong Kong film industry, he just wants to make money!
Hong Kong movies are very profitable, everyone knows this truth, but what everyone doesn't know is that soon, Hong Kong people will play this golden rooster to death.
Song Zhichao is focusing on the future of the mainland film market, if Hong Kong films can maintain their standards and can learn from Hollywood--- which is also one of the main reasons for his acquisition of Colombia, to bring Hollywood's industrial technology to Hong Kong, then Hong Kong films will not decline, and after the return to the motherland, they will be able to unite with the mainland market and become the hegemon of Asia, and even the hegemon of the world.
It's not a joke.
Song Zhichao has calculated, just the box office of the mainland film market in the future will be 60 billion a year, and it will soon catch up with North America, it can be seen that the largest box office of future movies will be in Asia, in the mainland!
Imagine a Hong Kong film market that has not declined, join hands with the huge domestic demand of the mainland, and then learn the industrial technology of Hollywood Columbia, then what a terrifying existence it will be in the future---
Seeing that everyone's blood had been boiling with his own sensationalism, Song Zhichao glanced at the police commissioner Grant beside him again.
Grant had already been furious by Song Zhichao's inexplicable eyes, and he didn't understand what he was going to do.
But what Song Zhichao wants to do, he can't stop it at the moment, or he can't stop it, who will let his handle be in the hands of the other party.
"Wow, if all the Hong Kong film companies were combined into one big company, it would be amazing!"
"Yes, Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Yongsheng, and other companies, these big companies are really integrated, I'm afraid even the giants of Hollywood will tremble. ”
"But it's not very good, the bosses of these film companies are all bigwigs, none of them are idle people, Song Zhichao wants to annex, it seems to be a fool's dream. ”
"yes, it's so hard!"
"Unless, a miracle happens!"
Everyone was gossiping and talking.
Facing the boiling crowd, Song Zhichao stretched out his hand and pressed it slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said: "I know, I know what you guys are thinking--- but I have already made a decision, so the Hong Kong film market will soon undergo huge changes, but before the change, I must have an operation on Hong Kong films!"
"What do you mean by operating on the Hong Kong film market?"
Everyone looked at Song Zhichao inexplicably, waiting for his explanation.
Next to Grant, he scoffed and underwent surgery? This Song really treats Hong Kong movies as his own child--- wait until you really buy those film companies and dominate Xiangjiang!
Although Grant is the Commissioner of the Hong Kong Police, he also knows that the Hong Kong film market is mixed with dragons and snakes, and it is not simple, and even their police sometimes have no problem with those people, let alone Song Zhichao alone--- Song Zhichao takes himself too seriously when he deals with the entire Xiangjiang Entertainment alone.
