As long as there is a little bit of social work experience, you can hear an extra layer of meaning from Wang Songlin's words.

It's like, you open a restaurant. Usually, only people from a nearby distance come to eat, but suddenly the Meituan takeaway app is online, and they are asking others to join them to open up further customers, and order the dishes of the boss's restaurant on the app.

You felt good about the account, so you cooperated, and sure enough, there were a lot more customers in the future.

Then, it didn't take long for another app to appear on the market, called Hungry? And the upfront subsidy is larger than Meituan, which can open up more and farther customers, so you can connect the hotel to two apps at the same time.

After that, the number of guests at your hotel goes up to the next level.

After a while, you heard that there is also a Baidu takeaway APP, and it has also started to fight a discount war. So, you move your mind again. But at this time, the regional person in charge of the Meituan app saw that you were launching three apps at the same time, and first turned off the discounts on Meituan, so that the number of your guests dropped by half.

After that, there is nothing to hint at you, unless you only launch one APP of Meituan and sign an exclusive cooperation. Otherwise, no discount will be given!

Don't say it, the current situation is really like the situation of these three companies.

Shaw Brothers is like the Meituan APP, and Xinli Line is like hungry? The cinema chain that mainly develops overseas routes is like Baidu Takeaway. In terms of the space and influence of Hong Kong films, indeed, just like Meituan's proportion in later generations, it only accounts for about 50-60% of the fluctuations of the three major theater chains.

In other words, any company that develops in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is no bigger than these three. Don't look at some signs of Shaw Brothers' decline, but the market share is still there, but it is only gradually decreasing, not a collapse. How to choose, it is indeed a little tangled.

"Mr. He, I think the Shaw Brothers are doing something to you first, but they won't be too offended. At most, this afternoon or tomorrow, I will definitely ask you to talk about an exclusive signing of cooperation. The number of such partners is determined, and one by one they come in turns...... "You can't shoot the scene, you can only shoot the exterior first, and when the work is over." Wang Songlin put forward his opinion to He Zilong!

As a result, that night, let Lao Wang say a word.

The Shaw Brothers Company really arranged for someone to come over and ask He Zilong to go to the teahouse for a night talk. It's just the middle and senior managers of the company at the general level, but it's normal to think about it. Even if He Zilong is from the mainland, he is also one of the scattered bird bosses who just want to enter the entertainment industry in Hong Kong.

It's like a Tyrannosaurus rex, and it also belongs to the juvenile body. Naturally, he won't be taken too seriously, or if he is so radical, when he first started making movies and television, he was doing two or three films at the same time, and he didn't seem to be short of money. I thought it would be better to recruit An as soon as possible, but I was afraid that the Shaw Brothers would arrange for him to meet him at a later date, and maybe it would be possible.

Now I will make an appointment that night, but I am afraid that it will be for the sake of Wang Songlin and Fa Ge's face.

Although he was not taken seriously, He Zilong still went as promised.

When I arrived at the teahouse, I found that there were many small movie company owners like him, all of them were like waiting in line to see a doctor in the hospital.

"This is not taken seriously, this is not taken seriously at all......" He Zilong smiled bitterly in his heart, and he was very unhappy.

The wait was more than an hour, and it was not He Zilong's turn yet. It's really tea, hehe!

"Let's go, don't wait......" Suddenly, He Zilong stood up from his chair and beckoned Li Dajun to go outside. The others looked at him, and some of them wanted to follow, and some of them had no choice but to wait. Of course, there are also those who do not know the depth, and they think that He Zilong does not know the depth and the thickness of the sky.

Of course, not much comes out. Those who continue to wait inside are mainstream!

Back to his own territory, Wang Songlin was eating and saw He Zilong go home. He looked up and asked, "How's the talk......?"

"What's the matter, don't treat us as people at all, I waited outside for more than an hour, and I didn't even have a cup of tea, we didn't wait, and came back directly......" Before He Zilong could speak, Li Dajun was angry, and answered Wang Songlin's question first.

"That's a bit excessive...... Wang Songlin frowned.

"Isn't it......"

"Shao Yifu is old, and the successor doesn't seem to inherit his soul, and this family is afraid that sooner or later it will be defeated. Change is good, after all, people move to live, trees move to die, the truth is true, but it is too radical, and it ignores the feelings of the partner, I am afraid that the hidden danger is not small......" He Zilong sat down, his eyes flashing.

Wang Songlin didn't speak, but looking at his expression, he obviously agreed with He Zilong's opinion.

Shaw Brothers produced a lot of films in the sixties and seventies of the last century, and at that time it was not affected by the impact of new media, and it was indeed very brilliant. If you compare the current Shaw Brothers film industry in Hong Kong with the film production industry of that era, it may be relatively "twilight" feeling.

Shaw Brothers' film company has made more than 1,000 films, and there is nothing wrong with it as a business that has to think first and foremost about survival. But he has released a lot of high-quality movies in the past, but now almost all of them are pure commercial hype genres.

Of course, there will be good artistic expression in commercial films, and there will be a lot of commercial elements in art films.

It's just that it's so biased that it's destined to be a chronic suicide.

Cultural connotation and aesthetic value sometimes cannot be measured by commercial value. When "Yellow Earth" only sold 3 copies, some of the films of the same period sold more than 300 copies. And then, who still remembers the movie that sold more than 300 copies?

But movies like "Yellow Earth" are watched by every film student and movie lover. It is a slow heat, but it can bring a huge increase in fame to the company and actors in the future!

"Director Wang, I'm thinking that even if we sign an exclusive contract with Shaw Brothers, will we be taken seriously in the future? Will we get priority in their theaters......?

Wang Songlin opened his mouth to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he closed it again. The wry smile on his face can be regarded as approving He Zilong's guess!

You must know that Shaw Brothers originally had a large number of film companies and actors, and its own theaters usually launched the most products of their own family. Even if the films of those partners can be listed, they are still in line, and the number of screenings is small, and there is very little prime time. This is also recognized!

It is indeed true to say that there are some petty children. It's just because they have the largest number of theaters and theaters, even if they have fewer rankings, they can drink some chicken soup if the partner's movies are as much as Shaw Brothers eats meat.
