1235 [Action Movie Exhibition] (Subscription Requested)
After helping Zhu Xiao buy a house, he devoted himself to the post-production of "Hardcover Chasing Girls 2" in the summer, editing, dubbing, soundtrack, and printing, and he had to participate in it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just when he was busy doing this, the news that Good Friends Film Company and Tianxia Pictures were cooperating in the filming of "One House, Two Wives" also came out, which shocked countless people's jaws for a while.
Because Good Friends Film Company is one of the most important members of the Independent Alliance. The backbone of the company, such as Zeng Zhiwei, Chen Baixiang, Feng Qifan, Wu Yaohan, Tan Yilin and others, were all unwilling to sign long-term contracts with Jiahe and Xinyicheng, so they became independent and established their own companies.
Later, they got the support of other film companies and theater owners, forming a loose independent alliance, which was inseparable from Golden Harvest and New Arts City.
But now, Good Friends Film Company is cooperating with Tianxia Pictures, which also implements a long-term constraint, which is really incomprehensible for a while.
It is said that Tianxia Pictures should stand with Golden Harvest and New Art City, and a few days ago, New Art City also borrowed Zhou Yunfa and Liang Jiahui from it. But now, it is filming with a good friend film company, which makes it really unclear who he is.
"Mr. Xia, what does it mean that you cooperate with us and cooperate with good friends?" Mai Jia couldn't help but call Xia and ask him what he wanted to do.
Because the creation of the Three Alliances was proposed and led by Summer, and the Independent Alliance was the opponent of the Three Alliances. It stands to reason that Summer should stand with the three alliances, and even if it doesn't suppress the independent alliance, at least it should be isolated and should no longer cooperate with it. lest it grow and eventually become difficult to clean up.
"Don't you understand this, how did I tell you before, to let them fight among themselves. The so-called does not suffer from a small number but suffers from unevenness. Now that our best friends are working with us, but other studios don't have that treatment, what do you make them think? Aren't they jealous? And jealousy is the beginning of the split. ”
"Mr. Mai, have you ever heard the proverb, a drop of honey kills a fly much more than a bucket of poison. Summer smiled, "What I'm doing now is a drop of honey." ”
Mai Jia was stunned for a moment, then blinked, feeling like an idiot. Such a simple truth is even taught to me in the summer.
"But if you do that, your good friends will also benefit. Then it's not good for us to grow. In order to save his face, he hurriedly found a reason to retort.
"Well, you don't know that. Xia smiled and told him the conditions he had reached with Zeng Zhiwei.
When Mai Jia heard this, she was greatly impressed.
A movie made seventy percent of the profit in the summer, leaving only two percent of the profit for Zeng Zhiwei. Even if that movie has a box office of more than 30 million, Zeng Zhiwei won't make much money.
"So that's the case, I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, I misunderstood. I thought you wanted to eat left and right. Mai Jia apologized.
Summer smiled, he was indeed left and right, and he ate everything, but there was no need to say it explicitly.
"Where did Mr. Mai think, the three alliances were all proposed by me, and your funds were also provided by me. Even if I don't think about you, I have to think about my money. He laughed.
……
"Well, don't bother. Mai Jia nodded and said, "By the way, Mr. Xia, you and Golden Harvest are about to open the action movie exhibition, don't you really plan to let us get a piece of the pie in Xinyicheng?"
The Action Film Festival, hosted by Commonwealth Pictures and Golden Harvest Pictures, will officially open soon. Seeing that it was another good deal to make money, Mai Jia was naturally very greedy.
"Mr. Mai, if you don't want to listen, this person can't be too greedy. From beginning to end, Mr. Zou and I coordinated the arrangement of the action movie exhibition. You want to come in and take a piece of the cake, you are too greedy. "You're welcome to be authentic in the summer.
He hopes that Golden Harvest and New Arts City will unite under the banner of the three alliances headed by him to jointly resist the impact of hot money and bad movies on Hong Kong films. A little sacrifice can also be made when necessary. But that doesn't mean he has to accommodate both of them in everything.
Just like the action movie exhibition now, seeing that it is about to be held, Mai Jia still wants to come in and take away a third of the cake, which is really greedy. He will never give face to such things.
Hearing Xia say this, Mai Jia couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and then argued strongly, "But didn't I also make sacrifices in the matter of the comedy film festival?"
"Your comedy film exhibition, if it weren't for me and Golden Harvest, it would have lost a lot of color. When the time comes, it is difficult to say whether it will be a profit or a loss. Besides, haven't we agreed to let you host the comedy film festival together!
"If you're not satisfied, then we're going to have to talk about it. Three alliances, you don't have to be. Baiming Pictures, Film Studio, and Debao Pictures are all qualified, don't force me to change people. He finally threatened.
Among the three alliances, Xinyicheng is the weakest. If it weren't for the high fame before, the tiger is majestic, and the Golden Princess Cinema is backing, I wouldn't have chosen it in the summer.
In fact, Baiming Pictures and Film Studios are also supported by Princess Jin, although their strength is weak, but their potential is huge. And Debao Pictures itself also has a concentric cinema line, and it also has the financial support of Pan Disheng, so it is qualified to replace New Art City.
Seeing that Xia said this, Mai Jia finally didn't dare to be long-winded.
After the division of the new art city, it has been declining. If he is excluded from the three alliances again, he will have no way to live.
"Okay, Mr. Xia, when I didn't say what I just said. He thought for a moment and said, "Then I won't bother you." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
"Made, don't force me to say cruel things!" Summer scolded and hung up the phone.
……
After Mai Jia called, Zou Wenhuai also called to inquire about the matter.
Summer repeats that reason again.
After Zou Wenhuai listened, he also changed from questioning to approving.
"Mr. Xia, you still have a way!" he smiled.
"Thanks for the compliment. Summer smiled, "By the way, Mai Jia also called just now and asked about the action movie exhibition, and I pouted back." He told Zou Wenhuai again.
"Mr. Xia did the right thing! This film festival is organized by our two companies, and we have contributed money and efforts from beginning to end. Mai Jia wants to come in and get a piece of the pie now, how can it be so cheap! You're right, it's the same for me!" Zou Wenhuai was even happier after hearing this.
He didn't approve of Xinyicheng becoming the organizer early on, but he was always worried that he would agree to it in the summer. Now seeing that he also refused, and taught Mai Jia a lesson, not to mention how happy he was.
"Okay, don't say these hurtful words. Anyway, Xinyicheng is also our ally now. Xia smiled, "Mr. Zou, if it's okay, then I'll hang up first." ”
"Good. Zou Wenhuai nodded.
……
After hanging up the phone, Summer thought of the action movie exhibition she had just mentioned.
To be honest, these days because he is busy filming "Hardcover Chasing Girls 2", he really hasn't paid much attention to this film festival, and has always been handed over to He Chaoqiong and Zou Wenhuai to be responsible. Now that the opening was about to open, he really wanted to know how the preparations were going.
So Xia made a phone call and asked He Chaoqiong to come and see him.
Fifteen minutes later, He Chaoqiong walked in, "Boss, you're looking for me!"
"You may be seated, Miss Ho. Summer nodded, "I came to you today to ask you about the action movie exhibition." The opening is just a week away, how are you getting ready?"
"It's still in the works. The venue has been rented, still at the Elizabeth Stadium. The equipment and equipment were ready, and the construction began in four days. He Chaoqiong explained, "The main exhibitors are our company, Golden Harvest and New Art City. Other small and medium-sized film companies were originally allowed to participate. Later, Mr. Zou eliminated them all. ”
Summer nodded.
When I first started preparing for the action movie festival, the three alliances had not yet been established, and the relationship between Golden Harvest and companies such as Yingzhijie, Siyuan Pictures, and Debao Pictures had not yet stiffened, so I naturally didn't mind taking them to make a fortune together. But now that they are on the same page, why bother to cheapen them for nothing.
"The films participating in the exhibition are all excellent action films selected from our three companies, from martial arts films in the 70s, kung fu films in the early Republic of China, to popular police and bandit films, and hero films. He Chaoqiong also reported, "In addition to movies, there are also martial arts comics published by Tianxia Comics Society, 82 Painting Society, and Yulang Group, fantasy novels launched by Fantasy World Magazine, as well as martial arts novels by martial arts masters such as Jin Yong, Gulong, Liang Yusheng, Wen Ruian, and so on. ”
82 Painting Society, founded by the well-known Hong Kong cartoonist Shangguan Xiaobao, mainly publishes kung fu comics such as "Bruce Lee" and "Fang Shiyu". At one time, it could compete with Huang Yulang's Yulang Group, and the sales of comics were equal.
However, Huang Yulang was obviously more talented in business and successfully listed Yulang Group. Through rights issues and large-scale acquisitions, Yuk Long Group has become the largest print media in Hong Kong.
And Shangguan Xiaobao is about to be dwarfed, although the sales of his specialty comic "Bruce Lee" are still good, but compared with Huang Yulang's wealth, it is already inferior to the bottom of the Tianshan Mountains, and it cannot be compared at all.
"Also, since the cosplay contest was very popular at the last festival, we would like to continue to introduce this event this time. He Chaoqiong said.
Originally, Hong Kong had no experience in holding similar large-scale events, but because the Fantasy Film Festival had been held before, it was much less difficult to hold it now. Many things can be handled according to the rules, and it is no longer like before, completely crossing the river by feeling the stones.
"Hmm. So, it's a remake of the last Fantasy Film Festival?" Summer nodded and smiled.
"Yes. However, there is also a downside that at the last film festival, video games adapted from psychedelic films were very popular. This time, however, we couldn't find the right video game. He Chaoqiong said regretfully.
Summer nodded, knowing that the red and white machine had only been released for a few years, and many classic games had not yet been born, so it was not surprising that there were no action fighting games.
"Hey, by the way, didn't I ask Square Enix to develop Street Fighter as a fighting game. His eyes lit up and he thought.
He handed over the planning of Street Fighter to Masashi Miyamoto last year, and asked him to develop the classic fighting action game.
A few months ago, when he went to Japan to promote Final Fantasy, he also heard Masashi Miyamoto mention that the game was in the final testing stage. Now that such a long time has passed, I think it's almost tested.
Thinking of this, Xia smiled at He Chaoqiong, "Don't worry, see if I can think of a way for you." With that, he picked up the phone and called Masashi Miyamoto.
When He Chaoqiong saw him say this, he couldn't help but be stunned, thinking to himself what you can do. Can you conjure up a video game out of thin air?!
Just when she was confused, she listened to Summer say something in English, "Mr. Miyamoto, how is that Street Fighter now?"
"Xia San, that game has entered the final round of testing. It is expected that in another half a month, it will be officially packaged and listed. Masashi Miyamoto said with a smile.
"Well done. But I'm in dire need of fifty sets of this game right now, can you pack a batch and bring it to me first? Summer asked.
"Xia San, what are you going to do with this game?" asked Miyamoto Masashi suspiciously.
"I'm going to have an action movie exhibition here, and that includes a video games section, so I wanted to show off the game. Summer explained.
"Xia San, this game has not yet been tested in the final test, and there are still some bugs, which may bring players a bad game experience. Masashi Miyamoto advised, "If it is reported by the media, it is likely to affect future sales." ”
"I don't think so. Now that it has entered the final testing stage, there must be a certain guarantee of quality. "And I have confidence in the game Street Fighter, even if there are some small bugs, I believe it won't affect how exciting it is." ”
When I played Street Fighter as a child, I also encountered some bugs, but I still had a lot of fun in the summer. Because Street Fighter is so much fun, the slightest bug doesn't hurt.
In the same way, there is "The King of Fighters 97", which is also a bunch of bugs, but players who are obsessed with it are sweeping the country. Wherever there is a game hall, almost everyone is playing the game.
"Well, since Xia Sang insists on it, then I have no choice but to obey. Seeing that Xia said this, Masashi Miyamoto had no choice but to nod. Although the Japanese are serious and meticulous, they are also accustomed to following the orders of their superiors.
"Very well, then you send it as soon as possible. When Xia heard this, he said with a smile, and then said to He Chaoqiong, "I helped you find the game you wanted." ”
"Wow!" He Chaoqiong couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise when he saw that he really had such great ability.
