Sha tin.

Wu Xiaozu stood in front of the factory building of Aimeigao Fan Factory, his eyes flashing. The factory in front of it already belongs to the 1024 locomotive studio.

The area is not worth mentioning compared with the main factory area of Aimeco, which is not far away, a super large football field is about 10,800 square meters, and the area in front of you is about four-fifths, that is, more than 9,000 square meters, which is converted into square feet, nearly 100,000 square feet.

If it can be demolished, Director Wu estimates that he can divide a community. That's right, not a unit, a building, but a community.

The biggest dream of Hong Kong people is a thousand-square-foot mansion. Wu Xiaozu belongs to a large dog family of 100,000 square feet.

The only pity is that the land in front of me can only be used as industrial land, and cannot be used for residential and commercial development, which directly limits its value.

In later generations, Uncle Shao Liufu took the more remote Tseung Kwan O with a large amount of money, and won 520,000 square feet of land for 78 million Hong Kong dollars. In other words, the land price of Uncle Shao in 98 was lower than that of Wu Xiaozu's land at the moment.

However, at that time, Tseung Kwan O was a barren land, and even the land needed to be refilled. Wu Xiaozu has a neat factory building and complete public transportation facilities in front of him.

At that time, Tseung Kwan O established a cinema city, and the Hong Kong government originally hoped that the cinema would drive the surrounding economy, and then carry out commercial development in the surrounding area. To put it bluntly, what Uncle Shao Liushu did was to open up the role of an old scalper, pulling soil to fill the pit by himself, not to mention, he needed to build every brick and tile by himself.

In fact, at that time, Uncle Shao Liu was already full of resentment, and a piece of land that he was optimistic about was snatched away. The land in Tseung Kwan O was weighed by many parties, and it was half sold and bought to Shao Laoliu.

In later generations, Tseung Kwan O Shaw Brothers Cinemas also became the most important asset of Shaw Brothers, worth billions. The reason why Shao Laoliu has been able to control TVB for so many years also has a lot to do with the checks and balances of the resources of the cinema in his hands.

In comparison, Sha Tin is much more prosperous than Tseung Kwan O at the moment.

There are also rural areas on Hong Kong Island!

…

"Azu, how is it? Looking at your own factory, how do you feel?"

Behind him, Jiang Ershao looked at the big factory in front of him with a vinegary face, eating the taste, "I really don't know how your luck is so positive, 5 million in exchange for a factory and land." If this lot is sold for sale, it can change hands at least three times.

Liu Luanxiong is really generous......"

Staring at the crew members coming in and out in front of him, Jiang Zhiqiang couldn't wait to replace them. Such a factory with convenient transportation and appropriate space is not easy to find in Hong Kong.

"It's time to catch up with Golden Harvest's Cathay Pacific set...... The Golden Princess Studio, the studio, the recording studio, and the editing studio can't all fit together. This is really enviable. ”

Wu Xiaozu smiled silently.

At the beginning, Liu Luanxiong endured the pain of cutting meat, and Wu Xiaozu himself had not yet figured out the reason. He only knows that the harvest must be far greater than the pay.

"The inside of this factory is not as glamorous as it seems, after all, it is just an abandoned old factory of Aimeco.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so smooth when "Two Heroes" renovated the venue here. It's very cluttered inside, which is why I chose a public bathroom here to be used as a filming location for "The Fear Room". ”

Wu Xiaozu smiled, "This is what it looks like in front of you." There is no comparison with the main factory building of Amico opposite. ”

"You don't really plan to settle down here in the future and do business, right?" Jiang Zhiqiang jokingly nicknamed Wu Xiaozu.

"It's okay to do industry, but you can do some industries that are related to industry. ”

Wu Xiaozu looked directly at the factory and said to Jiang Zhiqiang beside him, "Do you think it would be okay to buy a second-hand equipment production line for copying and ripping videotapes?"

"Videotape ......"

Jiang Zhiqiang frowned, "Now the price of video recorders and videotapes is very expensive, and it is far more cost-effective than going to the theater to watch movies."

Only the films of some small film companies that are not in the mainstream will focus on the videotape market, after all, compared to videotapes, the profits in the foreign market are much higher!"

"If we use the humanitarian spirit to help these film companies make good copies of the films, and then borrow them to rip and promote them, will it not only promote them but also reduce our costs?" Wu Xiaozu chuckled.

"The Hollywood video market has become more and more prosperous in the past two years, and I think Hong Kong Island also has such a prerequisite. Even we are more convenient than them, without more intellectual property constraints. The cost is undoubtedly much lower.

As for the video recorder you said is expensive, it is not as cost-effective as watching movies, but in fact, there is no need to worry about this. The videotape market and the cinema market actually complement each other.

We could have opened a few underground video halls in Kwun Tong, Tsuen Wan, Tuen Mun and other places first. Dedicate some of their favorite movies to them. Even, if we make it to scale, we can build a video recorder at a loss and sell it, and this money can be fully made up for in the subsequent videotape market.

As long as we have a strong pipeline of resources, none of this is a problem. At that time, I think the benefits of the videotape market will not be lost to the revenue of the theater chain. ”

Wu Xiaozu put his hands behind his back, and his face was full of righteousness.

"We have not only enriched the people's spare time, satisfied their spiritual needs for the world of light and shadow, but also developed new profit channels for films. Why not?"

Listening to Wu Xiaozu's gushing perfect blueprint for painting, Jiang Ershao couldn't help but touch his nose.

"Azu, you just said that out of humanitarian spirit, you copied the films of other film companies...... If I understand correctly......" Jiang Zhiqiang looked at Wu Xiaozu hesitantly, and his eyes met again, confirming the answer in his heart.

"Primitive accumulation definitely comes at a price. I think all companies can understand that, too. Wu Xiaozu Tian shamelessly answered for various film companies.

"We can also be regarded as developing a new interest market for Hong Kong films, and we can pay them some copyright fees in the later stage, which is not negotiable. ”

"Ah...... Brother Zu: I am the heir of Antai Film Company, and you are also a famous and fortunate director of the Academy Awards on Hong Kong Island, do you think ......?"

Jiang Ershao's face was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to express it in a low-key and tactful manner.

"So you can't think like that. You have to think that you are promoting and cultivating the Hong Kong film market. Wu Xiaozu forcibly interrupted the other party's words, "If we can, of course we are defenders."

If it becomes bigger, it is not even known that we can negotiate terms with the three major film companies. But the premise of all this is to be big.

Until then, I won't be at odds with money. ”

Jiang Ershao, who had no guilt at the box office in later generations, heard Wu Xiaozu's words and was naturally moved by what he said.

The Hong Kong Island videotape market was just getting started at this time, and the concept of film derivatives was even more unfashionable.

Although Wu Xiaozu is out of interest considerations, if he really promotes the emergence of the video tape market and the film derivatives market, it will indeed be of great benefit to Hong Kong films.

Film derivatives can make the influence of the film have a lasting effect and establish a brand effect. There are countless examples of Hollywood, and the most successful masterpiece is the Star Wars series.

The most classic case is "The Lion King", which swept the world at the box office that year, but the most profitable was the profits from subsequent videotapes and derivatives, whose revenue even exceeded $2 billion.

At the same time, it can also stimulate consumption and promote the development of the film industry chain.

In fact, even in Hollywood, videotapes are really starting to become a real profit growth point.

In 1977, "Star Wars" was a big hit, but Paramount fell into a financial crisis, at this time, the famous magnetic video took advantage of the situation and obtained the video rights of many of Paramount's films.

It wasn't until 1983 that Hollywood really entered a period of rapid development of videotape. Prior to this, mainstream Hollywood studios, namely the giants, did not really regard videotapes as a lifesaver.

In 1965, North American audiences spent more than $4.4 billion on videotapes and 3.8 billion on theatrical spending, and Hollywood entered the videotape era. Independent production companies began to emerge in the late 80s and 90s.

It can be said that video has brought nourishment for independent production companies and independent films to survive!

Primitive accumulation is full of the smell of blood. The same was true of the early development of videotapes.

If Wu Xiaozu controls the source and distribution of the videotape market, then it is no less than controlling a huge cinema chain.
