215 Golden Harvest Fantasy
Looking at the expressions of the two, Li Feng couldn't help but wonder in his heart if he had left something behind, and the two didn't seem to be as harmonious as he imagined.
In fact, where does Li Feng know, in 96 years Golden Harvest has entered the biggest crisis, a recession in the Xiangjiang environment, the late 90s began to be worse and worse in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang, and the mainland market has not yet had enough market support, and it is also sluggish, you must know that the annual box office of the mainland market may only be a few hundred million at this time.
Second, the big brother Cheng, the star of Golden Harvest, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, as the box office appeal of people in the Chinese circle and the Asian market continues to increase, mainly Japan, after all, Japan at this time is the second largest box office in the world.
Especially recently, as Big Brother Cheng has stepped out of Asia and stepped into the threshold of Hollywood with half a foot, today's Golden Harvest Company, an increasingly depleted small pool, can't raise a real dragon. The wings are stiff, and he wants to fly, at this time, Big Brother Cheng is no longer satisfied with being an actor, and he doesn't even want to cooperate with Golden Harvest.
At this time, Jiahe is really a little embarrassed internally and externally, and at the same time, his best partner He Xichang was admitted to the hospital because of physical reasons, and the eldest brother Cheng has the best relationship with He Xichang, and he is even commensurate with father and son.
However, the news from the hospital said that He Yichang's body had almost reached the point of running out of oil and lamps, and if there was no adjustment from He Qichang in the middle, it would be almost a foregone conclusion that the eldest brother Cheng, the bigwig in the entertainment industry, would leave Golden Harvest.
The departure of the eldest brother Cheng is fatal for Jiahe, and the influence of the eldest brother Cheng Jiahe, who has no box office appeal, has been greatly weakened, and this visit is because of Zhou Wenhuai's last fight, considering Li Feng's identity, this has become the hope that Zhou Wenhuai sees.
……
To tell the truth, in today's Chinese entertainment industry, Li Feng values two stars the most, one is the eldest brother, after all, people will be popular all over the world next, and they can barely be regarded as a wrist in Hollywood.
There is also Zhou Xingxing, who is the box office guarantee of the Chinese-speaking circle, the box office of the first 10 years of the 21st century in China, Zhou Xingxing can break the box office record of a movie when he makes a movie. Either of the two can support the discourse film company at this time, just like the later Huayi to Feng Xiaogang.
Of course, many people may say that there is also Little Pony Brother Zhou or Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie, but Li Feng knows that although Chow Yun-fat and Li Lianjie also broke into Hollywood later, to be honest, it is not very successful in Li Feng's opinion.
Moreover, the Chinese films of these two later generations have almost become synonymous with high salaries and low output, and the salaries of the two are said to be charged according to Hollywood standards, often millions of dollars or even tens of millions.
At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, the box office of the entire Chinese-speaking circle in a year was just like this, as long as two people were invited, almost all of them were loss-making transactions, and Li Feng would never do such a deal.
"John, when I was in Hollywood before, we didn't talk about it, and now I want to try it in Hollywood, I think so, if you don't like me, I can transfer my contract to your company's name. Hearing his boss say to himself with a dark face, the big nose said to Li Feng a little embarrassed.
"What, isn't it?"
Listening to the words of the eldest brother, Li Feng almost squirted out the tea he had just drunk on the spot. Glancing strangely at Zhou Wenhuai, who was still sitting on the side, Li Feng couldn't help but think, no wonder Zhou Wenhuai's face was so dark, or it would be dark.
What kind of person is Big Brother Cheng, it has almost become synonymous with Golden Harvest, if you want to break into Hollywood now, you have to leave Golden Harvest directly, isn't this a white-eyed wolf.
……
"Old Zhou, don't you have any opinions?" Li Feng couldn't help but smile and said to Zhou Wenhuai on the side.
"There's no way, there's no old saying in Huaxia that 'it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married', the twisted melon is not sweet, since Yuanlou (Jackie Chan) is going to go out, I won't stop people.
If Yuanlou can sign a contract with Mr. Li's Hollywood company, it may be a good opportunity for Yuanlou, and we can agree.
However, I hope that Li Sheng can consider it on the other hand, Yuanlou signed under your company's name, and when Yuanlou shoots movies in Hollywood, I hope that our Golden Harvest can cooperate with Mr. Li's company.
Yes, I hope Golden Harvest can reach an agreement with Mr. Li's MGM, and I know that MGM, with the support of Li Sheng, is now developing MGM's original global distribution network, but this will not be completed in a short time.
Golden Harvest has the largest distribution network in Asia, at least for the time being, which can make up for the disadvantage of MGM temporarily distributing films in Asia, and if we can reach a cooperation, it will be beneficial for both parties. ”
"Old Zhou, to be honest, what you said is still a bit attractive to me, but compared to Hollywood companies with a well-established global distribution network, your company does not have a particularly big advantage.
I have a proposal, let me tell you, listen, I said how about my media group to acquire Golden Harvest Company?" Li Feng said to the old man with a smile.
……
"Li Sheng, at least for the time being, we have no plans to sell Golden Harvest, thank you Li Sheng for your attention. Zhou Wenhuai immediately said to Li Feng.
"Old Zhou, don't be in a hurry to refuse, you can listen to me first.
Nowadays, I think the prospect of Xiangjiang movies can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, the golden age of the 7 and 8 years and the early 90s has passed, and the decline of Xiangjiang movies has become a foregone conclusion.
The second point is that the box office in the Chinese-speaking circle is really a bit poor now, and the salaries of today's actors with appeal in Hong Kong and Taiwan are constantly rising wildly, resulting in continuous increase in costs.
And mainland actors don't have enough box office appeal, and Hollywood is facing the crazy expansion of the world, and the current situation is roughly like this, you make a movie and lose one.
Don't you think now is the best time for you to pull your hands, and if you agree to sell Golden Harvest, we can have a good chat. ”
Zhou Wenhuai, a person who has been in the entertainment industry all his life, is really impressed by Li Feng, although he understands something, but he didn't expect Li Feng to see himself for the first time, but he wanted to pocket the results of his life's hard work.
Looking at Li Feng's young and handsome face, he couldn't help but feel in his heart that 'giving birth to a son should be like John Lee', and naturally, he still chose to refuse Li Feng's proposal. Although it is clear that what Li Feng said is actually the truth, he is still unwilling to hand over the fruits of his life so simply.
……
"Old Zhou, I don't need you to make a decision all at once, you can go back and discuss everything with your partner, or we can buy a part of the shares first, and then we can talk about cooperation. Seeing that the other party directly refused, Li Feng couldn't help but smile again.
Li Feng knows that there is another entrepreneur in Jiahe, He Yichang, who is about to pass away, and he can't buy Jiahe immediately, maybe he can buy some of it, which can be regarded as a front station.
When Zhou Wenhuai retires, he can swallow Golden Harvest whole, which is still very beneficial to his media company's global layout. After all, when Li Feng was reborn in his previous life, Huaxia had become the world's largest ticket collection.
What kind of company is Golden Harvest, which has the largest distribution network in Huaxia, which is still very beneficial to supplement MGM's own distribution network.
Yes, MGM now only has a distribution network in North America, which was obtained by acquiring Luen Mei, but the original distribution network distributed around the world was sold by the gambling king.
Well, let's talk about MGM's former boss again, and the Cork gambling king really made MGM miserable. After the first acquisition of MGM that year, the gambling king can be said to have sold MGM all over the world, including the global distribution network, props production and other departments.
