Chapter 220: "Happy Cooperation......"
The most profitable thing in this world is monopoly, but if the monopoly is upstream and you are downstream, there will be no future.
A conservative Shaw Brothers who also expects a monopoly to return to the past time, even if they cooperate with them, they have little prospect for development. One should not only look at the present, but also look at the future. Especially for the reborn who knows the direction of history, He Zilong, this is even more important!
Obviously, what he wants, Shaw Brothers can't give, and it will even become a resistance. Even if you cooperate, you will only get temporary convenience, but you will lose more later. If you don't have a reborn, you don't know what to expect.
But if you know what will happen in the future, if you are any other person, in He Zilong's current situation, I am afraid that I will not choose to continue to cooperate with Shaw Brothers.
For example, if you take out Shaw Brothers such as Meituan, in later generations, Comrade Meituan has not monopolized all the food and beverage share, and in the second half of 2018, he impatiently began to suck the flesh and blood of merchants and diners.
Meituan, which has the right to speak and set prices, can directly make your restaurant live or die. The more in-depth the hotel cooperates with them, the more so, life or death depends on a word from Meituan.
If He Zilong short-sightedly chooses to cooperate with Shaw Brothers in depth, and gives up some fundamental conditions for cooperation, I am afraid that it will really be the power of life and death in the future, and it will all depend on Shaw Brothers' preferences. This feeling of not being able to control your own life and company is very bad.
Not to mention anything else, there is not even the most basic right to dialogue, let alone fairness.
"Before I promised you that the two films were finished, I would be on your side if you made any decision. After all, I am a person from the TV station, not under the control of the Shaw Brothers, and there is still some freedom here......" This is what Wang Songlin said to He Zilong before leaving.
Let Li Dawei send Wang Songlin away, He Zilong sat on the sofa and thought about it.
If you don't cooperate with Shaw Brothers, then who else can you cooperate with in Hong Kong? That cinema company that mainly develops overseas? No, now is not the time to break into overseas, so it seems that you can only cooperate with Xinli Line.
As long as you are not blind, you can see that a new theater line that intends to challenge the status of Shaw Brothers is also small. It's just that there is no stable source of films, its own big film companies, and reserve stars.
"There is only one teacher Ma in this world, and he is the only one who can achieve what he did, and this is indeed the case in China in the past twenty or thirty years. The achievements of the Xinli Line after the rebirth were also heard of before the rebirth, although it was still inferior to the current Shaw Brothers in the future, but it always had a place. And it's getting better and better, if you choose to cooperate with them vigorously, maybe it's also a good choice......" He Zilong looked out the window and thought to himself.
For theaters, the biggest problem is that there should be more film sources, be wide, and be refined.
On many, wide, Shaw can be self-produced and sold. Naturally, there is no hurry, fine, there are many of them, and some can be produced from time to time. It can be said that it occupies all the time, the location is favorable, and the people are not to be talked about.
As for the Xinli Line Cinema, judging from the current situation, it seems that as long as Shaw Brothers says a word, he will be determined to suppress it, but I am afraid that it will be very good in a short time.
In particular, Shaw Brothers is looking for so many partners to re-ask for a contract, but I am afraid that the plan is not small, which is exactly what it means.

A few days later, in the past few days, relying on Wang Songlin's connections, He Zilong's film could barely continue filming even if it didn't take interior scenes and rent some things in Shaw Brothers. In order to make ends meet, those extras left some and came back a little, and recruited some more, but it was not a big problem!
In the past few days, in addition to coming to the set from time to time, He Zilong has brought the three brothers of the Li family more to inquire about the situation of Xinli Line.
Don't even say it, you really found out a lot of information.
First of all, the Shaw Brothers really ordered it in the industry, but Fan signed an exclusive one with them. Whether it is an actor from the company under his name or a movie, he will not be able to go to Xinli Line Cinema to broadcast and cooperate in the future. Otherwise, you will have to pay the contract money!
In Shaw's view, this should indeed be a big move against competitors.
Judging from the situation in the past few days, it has indeed played a great effect. The major cinemas of the Xinli Line Cinema Line, because of the decrease in new film sources, the number of moviegoers is decreasing. Some Xinli Line cinemas even took advantage of the gap in the number of spectators to reduce the number of spectators for some special reasons, and had no choice but to take the opportunity to simply stop. Externally, it is said that the interior is being renovated, but it is indeed a decoration worker working on site!
"Long Shao, you asked me to stay outside the Xinyicheng Film Company, and asked some lovers to listen to, and really let me get some clues. The people of Xinli Line are really looking for people from Xinyicheng, as if they want to form an alliance, but it seems that there is a reason for the movie schedule in Xinyicheng, or something, and it doesn't seem to have replied for the time being......" Li Dawei came back with a blockbuster news, which directly made He Zilong, who was sitting on the sofa, jump up in shock.
Then, he walked around the room, as if he was mentally planning something.
In 1980, in an old apartment of less than 90 square meters, the three giants of the new art city, Mecca, Shi Potian, and Huang Baimin, established the new art city, counting the female secretary and male messenger, the office of the five people was set up, and no one thought that in the next ten years, they would be so beautiful.
At the beginning, this film company was smaller than He Zilong's cinema. The opening work is a comedy, in order to commemorate the death of the comedy master Chaplin filmed "Funny Times", with an investment of one million and a box office of five million, a very good start, the director was Wu Shangfei, who was unheard of in Hong Kong at that time, and later filmed the famous "True Colors of Heroes".
After the initial exploration and success, the new art city ushered in its own era. In 1982, the director's "Best Partner" was a huge success, breaking the Hong Kong box office record with a domestic box office of 27 million.
In order to fight against the new art city, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers joined forces for the first time, "Qimen Dunjia" and "Eight Colorful Lin Yazhen" were both released at the same time in Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers theaters, but it was still difficult to resist the new art city, and since then the new art city has become a film company that stands tall with Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers!
It's just that in terms of scale, it's still a little too young.
"I have decided to go all out to cooperate with Xinli Line, and I want to determine a certain relationship and ......status before cooperating with Xinli Line in Xinyi City," He Zilong finally made up his mind.
Preempting the opportunity does not mean that you have to make a feud with Xinyi, but to get married. As long as they take the lead, and their relationship with Fa Ge is also deep, maybe they can cooperate with Xinyicheng in the future.
In addition, what people can do in Xinyicheng, can't he be a reborn person?
