536 [Film Association (II)]
You're so old, now that you're sure, go for it. ”
Hong Jinbao looked at his junior brother Yuan Lou, his face was bland, but he was still a little envious of him and Yuan Biao's opportunities. Don't look at the fact that he established the Hong family class, mixed in the major film companies, left and right, and looks majestic, but in fact, there is no big company to follow it, and it still belongs to the state of sending people under the fence.
Even if he made a movie alone, without the nodding and agreement of those theater owners, he would not have been able to release it in the theater at all, and Huanyu, which Yuan Biao joined, and Jiahe, who recruited Yuanlou, are both hot big companies in Hong Kong today!
Don't mention Huanyu, the big boss behind it is Huo Yaowen, don't look at the Huanyu Film Company founded halfway, but people have branches abroad, not only have distribution channels in Southeast Asia, Japan, and South Korea, but also cooperate with Hollywood's big film company in the United States, and the "1999" filmed a few years ago sold 800 million US dollars worldwide, which is more than 4 billion Hong Kong dollars!
With so much money, there are only a handful of dollars that the whole of Hong Kong can come up with!
You can imagine how great the ability behind Huanyu Film Company is!
Although these seem to have little to do with the actors, and the money earned only belongs to Huo Yaowen alone, Liu Songren, Qingxia, and Hu Yinmeng participated in the filming of the "1999" movie, and it is said that they are very famous in the Chinese circle abroad.
In addition, at the end of last year, Hong Jinbao heard that the three of them went to the United States to shoot the second "1999", with more scenes, and I think that after the movie is released around the world, I am afraid that it will not only become famous in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places, but will definitely be popular in the Chinese circle all over the world!
Not to mention the dollars earned, the mere fact that he is famous abroad is enough for Hong Jinbao to envy.
Don't look at the junior brother Yuan Biao joined not long ago, but he also mixed up with the position of the leading actor in the movie, and the day before yesterday at the party, the drunk Yuan Biao also said that "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is a series, and Mr. Huo intends to release this film to Europe and the United States!
Good guy, junior brother Yuan Biao is probably going to develop the rhythm this time, and I may need him to help him in the future.
As for Golden Harvest Film Company, although the overall strength is not comparable to Huanyu Company, among the major film companies in Hong Kong, it is definitely the top three large companies, with independent production capabilities, a super-large studio, and a Golden Harvest Cinema Line that controls the source, plus Huo Yaowen among several bosses, Yuan Lou joined in, which is definitely much stronger than him in Luowei Company.
After listening to the strength of the three film companies analyzed by senior brother Hong Jinbao, it was really the junior brother Yuan Biao who had better luck, thinking of this, Yuan Lou's hanging arm subconsciously clenched into a fist, and said: "Then when this film association activity is over, I will go to Mr. He, I can't waste time." ”
……
Backstage in the ballroom.
Huo Yaowen and Wen Yingguang went out to greet each other.
After seeing Uncle Shao Liu, Li Hanxiang, Wang Tianlin and others enter the backstage together, he stepped forward with a smile and said: "Sixth Uncle welcome, welcome, with your support, the association will definitely do better." ”
Seeing Huo Yaowen welcoming himself as a junior, Uncle Shao Liushu didn't sell his old trust, shook hands with him with a smile and said: "Mr. Huo said that he was joking, I don't think there is our Shaw Brothers, and your film association is not bad." ”
This time, Uncle Shao Liu's coming was also forced to be helpless, his wireless station and Phoenix TV fought to the death, and the Shaw Brothers Film Company was inseparable from Huanyu and Golden Harvest, coupled with the personal grudge with Zou Wenhuai, Uncle Liu resisted coming to participate in this so-called Hong Kong Film Association.
Coming to participate is tantamount to falling behind, and outsiders may think that he Shao Lao Liu wants to sell well.
If you don't come, it will really have a great impact on Shaw Brothers!
Judging from the information released by Fok Yaowen to various filmmakers' associations before, this film association will have a great binding effect on the entire Hong Kong film market in the future.
It's not just as simple as discussing the cinema schedule with each other!
Under the Film Association, there will be an Actors Guild, a Directors Guild, a Screenwriters Guild, and a Martial Arts Guild...... and a series of guild organizations.
It may not change much for the time being, but in a few years, as more and more newcomers join a guild of the film association, it will be easy for Shaw Brothers to be passively controlled.
Therefore, Uncle Shao discussed with the manager and senior management of Shaw Brothers, and decided to participate in this film association, otherwise, some positions in the association may be controlled by companies such as Huanyu and Golden Harvest, which will be very detrimental to the development of Shaw Brothers in the future.
"How could it be! Many of the movies made by Uncle Shaw Brothers are my favorite films when I was a child, and Shaw Brothers can say that it is a business card that can never be erased in the Hong Kong film industry. Out of personal feelings, Huo Yaowen still respects the sixth uncle very much, and the middle school he studied in his last life had a Shaw Building donated by his old man.
Uncle Shao Liu looked at Huo Yaowen's extremely sincere and respectful appearance in his speech and attitude, and the unhappiness in his heart earlier was dispersed a lot, but when he glanced at Zou Wenhuai not far away, he was angry again, and couldn't help but snort coldly, and scolded in a low voice "anti-bone".
The voice was not loud, and others didn't hear it, but Huo Yaowen, who was facing him, listened carefully.
Who is the anti-bone boy talking about, he knows very well in his heart, it is nothing more than Zou Wenhuai, on weekdays, Huo Yaowen doesn't care who Uncle Shao scolds, but now it is not good, how can it be said that Zou Wenhuai's Jiahe also has its own shares, and the association Jiahe established today also has some credit, so he smiled and interrupted: "Sixth uncle, I want you to come to the stage to talk later, why don't I ask Manager Wen to send you to rest for a while?"
Sixth Uncle Shao quickly came back to his senses, looked at Huo Yaowen and smiled, "Then trouble you, Mr. Huo." ”
"It should be, it should be. ”
Immediately, he beckoned Wen Yingguang to send Uncle Shao to the room backstage to rest, and when the ceremony began, he invited Uncle Shao to come out.
……
More than ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
After the stage in front of the stage was arranged, Dong Bi, the emcee outside, was the first to come to the stage, first thanking the guests who came to participate in the establishment of the Hong Kong Film Association today, and then inviting the organizer of the association, Huo Yaowen, Zou Wenhuai, Shao Liushu, Guan Dexing, Hu Jinshui, Wang Tianlin and other respected filmmakers to speak on stage one after another.
In terms of content, it is nothing more than congratulating Hong Kong for having its own film association and living up to the reputation of Oriental Hollywood, and then the older generation of filmmakers look back on the bumps and bumps of Hong Kong films in the past and look forward to the prosperity of Hong Kong Island films in the future.
When many filmmakers came to the stage to discuss Hong Kong films, Wang Feng, a well-known director and screenwriter, did not talk about the past and the future as soon as he came to the stage, but first thanked Huo Yaowen.
"Today, I am very happy to see that Hong Kong films can set up such an association, which is absolutely beneficial to the future development of our Hong Kong films, and the most gratifying thing for me is that not only the Actors Guild, the Directors Guild, but also the Screenwriters Guild have been established!"
"Many people may know that the status of the screenwriter in the crew is very low, but wherever the plot is not satisfied, the director and producer can change it at will, which is not good and is not recommended. ”
"I personally think that the profession of screenwriting is a very important part of the film industry, and the script of Wong Fei Hung I wrote in the early years was revised by the director many times, and then I became a director myself in a fit of anger. So when I learned that the Film Association would formalize the profession of screenwriter, I was very relieved, and I was very grateful to Mr. Huo. I think the establishment of the Screenwriters Guild may be one of the reasons why Mr. Inhuo is a very brilliant screenwriter and understands the importance of screenwriting!"
Wang Feng was a well-known screenwriter and director in Hong Kong in the 50s and 60s, and he wrote a series of "Once Upon a Time" scripts, all of which are very classic scripts. For example, more than ten years later, Li Lianjie made several films such as "Huang Feihong: Iron Fighting Centipede" and "Huang Feihong: The Lion King...... Most of them are adapted from plays he wrote in the 50s.
The imagination of martial arts films has been brought to the extreme, and the writing is really ingenious.
When Wang Feng's words came out, the screenwriters on the scene couldn't help but nod in agreement, they all knew that in the crew, the power of the producer and the director is too great, and the status of the screenwriter is too small.
Therefore, the establishment of this screenwriters' association is too good and timely, which not only simply improves the status of screenwriters, but also facilitates screenwriters to sell scripts and eliminate plagiarism.
Whether it works or not, at least on the surface, it's great.
Soon, when the older generation of filmmakers came to the stage to finish speaking and making remarks, Huo Yaowen stepped onto the stage.
When the young and old in the audience saw him on stage, whether they really thought that Huo Yaowen's establishment of this association was beneficial, or it was polite, most of them applauded.
"Thank you very much for attending the inauguration ceremony of the Hong Kong Film Society today, in addition to the simple establishment of the association today, the association will also hire some experienced filmmakers to hold important positions in the association......
"It's inconvenient to talk about these in detail today, if you have interested friends, you can consult Wen Yingguang, general manager of Huanyu, later......"
"At the same time, there is a very, very important thing to announce to you today!"
Speaking of this, Fok Yiuwen paused and continued: "The history of Hong Kong film development can be traced back to 1898, and it has been nearly 80 years so far...... and other film companies have worked hard for decades to expand Hong Kong films to overseas markets such as Southeast Asia. ”
"It's 1977 now, and I'm about to enter the 80s, and Hong Kong films will become more and more prosperous under your efforts, so I set up a local film award in the name of the Film Association and the "Film Fortnightly" under Yaowen Book Publishing House. ”
