The so-called Xiao Biesheng is newly married, after Wang Jixian came back, he naturally had some intimacy with the summer, and there was no need to go into detail.

"Mr. Zombie" was released for a week and had a box office of over 10 million.

Summer once again proved his ability with his works, and it also made the major film companies in Hong Kong eager to invite him to join their companies. Jiahe, Xinyicheng, Debao, Yongsheng, Darong, Siyuan, etc., the conditions are much better than in the past.

In the summer, there are people treating him every day, and he can't push off the dinner, which annoys him so much that he can't do it. But in the end, he didn't make a choice.

In fact, in summer, I also know the truth that it is good to enjoy the shade with my back against a big tree, but whether this big tree is big enough or not is worth relying on is still a problem.

Just like New Arts City, although it is now more powerful than Golden Harvest, movies often win the annual box office. In Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, it enjoys a very high momentum.

But the summer knew that the collapse of the new art city was imminent, and in less than five years, it would fall apart. Moreover, the grievances of the three giants are deep, and if they join Xinyicheng at this moment, they will be forced to choose a side and participate in the struggle of the three giants.

Therefore, for him, joining Xinyicheng will definitely do more harm than good. Not only did they lose their freedom, but they also had no bright future. However, if it is the golden princess who joins the parent company of Xinyicheng, the result is different.

Golden Princess has the Golden Princess Cinema Line, and in her eyes, she relies on Xinyicheng for films, and her financial support, schedule support, and sharing ratio are also the best.

If he joins Princess Jin at this moment, if Xinyi City collapses in a few years, he can just fill the vacancy and become the pillar of Princess Jin. All the power that Xinyicheng enjoys now will belong to him in the future.

However, Princess Jin also has a disadvantage, that is, she only has a reputation in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Nanyang. However, it will not affect further afield places such as South Korea, Japan, Europe and the United States.

In terms of distribution ability, the Golden Princess is far inferior to Golden Harvest, and even the Shaw Brothers are not comparable.

……

Debao's advantages are the same as those of the Golden Princess. This film company is just a tool for Pan Disheng, the eldest young master, on the one hand, to pick up girls, and on the other hand, to do publicity.

He is a well-known luxury tycoon in Hong Kong, with more than a dozen luxury goods agents. And also has its own luxury brand. In order to promote these luxury goods, he spent a lot of money to hire celebrities to advertise. But then he felt that it was not very cost-effective, so he had an idea and used the money from advertising to invite celebrities to make movies, and by the way, he promoted his luxury goods.

As a result, not only did the movie make money, but his luxury goods also sold well, and he also hugged the beauty by the way, which can be said to be a very smart person.

Summer knew that Turvo Pictures would close its doors in the 90s. When the time comes, Pan Disheng will sell his Debao Pictures and then concentrate on running his own luxury brand.

If he joins Debao at this moment, he can not only get Pan Disheng's financial support and theater support, but also when Pan Disheng wants to stop doing it, he can also take the opportunity to take over Debao Company.

However, Debao is also the same as the Golden Princess, and the same disadvantage is that it is not good at distribution. There is still power only in Hong Kong, and it is worse in Japan and South Korea. Not to mention the European and American markets. That's a shortcoming.

……

In comparison, Golden Harvest's issuance advantages are more obvious. They have cooperation with Warner Corporation in the United States, and they also have a friendship with Shochiku Pictures in Japan. If the film is handed over to them for distribution, they can earn a lot more copyright fees.

However, Golden Harvest's disadvantages are equally obvious. Because this film company will continue until the new century, and Golden Harvest has always praised Cheng Long as his own son. And Brother Cheng Long was still a top superstar until 2014.

If you join Golden Harvest at this moment in the summer, you will always be suppressed by Cheng Long. And Golden Harvest does not fall. He also didn't have the strength to roll over. It's going to be crushed all the time, and it's going to be out of breath.

And he heard that Jiahe's heart is very dark. Although it pioneered the satellite company system, it supported many talented filmmakers to set up their own film companies.

Funded by Golden Harvest, filmmakers contributed, and everyone made movies together. Divide the money together in proportion. But it is said that Golden Harvest has been withholding the filmmaker's due share, so that many filmmakers have broken up after cooperating with it.

Before the summer, I read the book "Young Wang Jing Breaks into the Rivers and Lakes" written by Wang Jing, which wrote a lot of gossip news in the Hong Kong film industry. One of them is to expose the shady scenes of Golden Harvest.

It is said that Wang Jing cooperated with Golden Harvest and made many blockbuster movies, such as "The Ten Tortures of the Manchu Dynasty", "Crazy Boy" 4 and 5, "Fengyun", "Chinese Heroes" and so on. But in the end, when Wang Jing left Golden Harvest, when the account was settled, it was Wang Jing who owed Golden Harvest more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

It turned out that Golden Harvest's bookkeeping was very vague, and blockbuster films like "The Ten Tortures of the Manchu Dynasty" had zero box office in Taiwan, which made Wang Jing feel very uncomfortable. But people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, even if I am not convinced, I have to pay compensation as usual at that time.

And according to Wang Jing, it seems that Xu Guanwen, Luo Wei, and Hong Jingbao all seemed to have had this kind of unpleasantness when they left Jiahe. With these people as role models, it is natural that the summer will not be worried.

……

In addition to Xinyicheng, Debao, and Golden Harvest, other medium-sized film companies did not consider it at all in the summer.

One is that they don't have their own cinema chain, and they also have to cooperate with the three major cinema chains. In terms of theater schedules, box office sharing and other aspects are not dominant.

Second, the source of their funds is unknown. For example, Deng Guangrong's Darong Film Company used Taiwan's capital; Wu Siyuan's Siyuan Pictures used money from Thai film companies; and the Xiang brothers' Yongsheng used money from the old Ngee An.

Filming with this kind of money has a great hidden danger, and it may be targeted by Interpol for suspected money laundering. In the future, I want to expand my business to the whole world, but I don't want to be saddled with a black pot because of this kind of thing, which will have a bad impact on my career. It is important to know that many countries refuse entry to people with criminal records.

……

Therefore, thinking about coming and going, Summer feels that Princess Jin and Debao are the most suitable for themselves.

Of course, he did not consider being self-reliant and not attached to any company. Set up your own film company, be your own boss, make your own money and spend it yourself, and you don't have to share it with others. And they make their own decisions, free and free from jurisdiction.

It's just that the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

Film is an industry that requires a lot of capital. Behind the six major Hollywood film companies are all big conglomerates, and MGM, the only independent film company, struggled because it did not have the support of the consortium, and finally declared bankruptcy and was acquired by the Sony consortium.

The production cost of Hong Kong films is rising year by year. In '81 and '82, the production cost of a movie was only about one million Hong Kong dollars. But in 84 years, it rose to 3 or 4 million Hong Kong dollars, and the cost doubled.

Among them, the salary of celebrities has risen the fastest. Before Di Long, Jiang Dawei and other first-line superstars, the salary was only 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. Now not to mention top superstars such as Cheng Long and Xu Guanjie, even comedians such as Chen Baixiang and Feng Qifan have a salary of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Although I make a little money making movies in the summer, this money is not enough to make a few movies. If a movie fails at the box office, then he will be in a financial dilemma.

Although he is a person who has traveled back in time, he has a certain grasp of the box office of the movie. But there are many factors that affect the box office of a movie, and summer cannot be fully controlled. For example, the hero and heroine of the movie suddenly broke out into a scandal, such as something happening in society, which happens to coincide with the content of the movie, and it will affect the box office of the movie at that time.

Just like the action thriller "Operation Swordfish" starring Wolverine Hugh Jackman, Black Pearl Halle Berry, and dancing king John Travolta, it was originally a very good commercial blockbuster.

As a result, when it was released in 2001, the 911 incident happened, and the box office of that movie plummeted. The production cost is 80 million US dollars, the North American box office is less than 70 million US dollars, and the global box office is only 140 million, and even the cost has not been recovered.

It is precisely because there are so many uncontrollable factors that for the sake of their own interests, Summer believes that it is necessary to bring in funds and share risks.

And relying on the Golden Princess and Debao, you can also get the tilt of the theater schedule and box office share in the summer. On the contrary, if you stand on your own, there will be no discount in the summer in terms of theater schedule and box office sharing.

When the time comes, people will take care of their own son, arrange a bad schedule for him at will, and only let him be released for a week, and he will be blind that summer. No matter how good a movie is, it can't sell well at the box office.

So all things considered, I still think it's better to have your back against a big tree in summer.

Of course, even if you bring in funds, you have to make your own decisions in the summer, and you will not give up your own autonomy and become a tool for others to make money.

……

After making up their minds, Pan Disheng, the boss of Yodebao, and Lei Juekun, the boss of Princess Jin, met in the summer to discuss a win-win cooperation plan.

When Pan Disheng saw Summer, he couldn't help but be stunned, surprised by his youth.

Pan Dashao is known as a young and promising, and before the age of thirty, he has already established his own business empire and become a luxury tycoon on the rich side.

But the young man in front of him seemed to be more powerful than him. In less than half a year, he has grown from a nobody to the current 20 million director, the film industry is fragrant, and countless film companies are chasing him.

"Hello, Mr. Xia. Pan Disheng greeted with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Pan. Xia also smiled, "I have long admired Mr. Pan's reputation as a luxury king, and when I see him today, I am even more famous when I meet." ”

Mr. Xia was polite. Pan Disheng laughed.

He was also surprised that Summer had asked him out today. He's an ambitious doer and a very shrewd business wizard, and when he saw what he had done in the summer, he knew it was a rare talent, so he wanted to woo him.

But he also knows that the pressure of competition is not small, and Golden Harvest and Xinyicheng also extend olive branches, and his Debao has little chance of winning. But the summer just asked him out, which made him a little flattered. (To be continued.) )
