1425 [Take advantage of his illness to kill him]
"Brother Tian, now Zeng Zhiwei is unlucky, and he is looking for funds all over the world. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Chen Yixin said to Xia with a smile, "But now everyone's life is not easy, and it is not easy for him to find someone to take over." ”
After the Hong Kong stock market crash, the economy was weak, and both large companies and small shareholders suffered heavy losses, and they still had to find corners to lick their wounds, and where did they get the money for Zeng Zhiwei to film.
Xia smiled, he had long known that Zeng Zhiwei's life would not be easy, so he was not very surprised to hear the news. However, he also knew that Zeng Zhiwei was an unbeatable fire phoenix, and the more it burned, the more prosperous it became.
In his previous life, he also started many businesses, such as Good Friends, Children's City, Youhe, UFO, etc., and created another one when he poured one. Even in the new century, when the Hong Kong film industry is bleak and mournful, Zeng Zhiwei is still a big brother-level figure, filming and investment every year.
The reason why this is so is mainly because Zeng Zhiwei has real skills. He has written scripts that have won the Hong Kong box office championship, his films are the highest-grossing films in Hong Kong, there are few movies he has made that are not profitable, and he has won the Academy Award as an actor......
Zeng Zhiwei is a truly brilliant filmmaker, an all-rounder, and talents like this are in demand everywhere. Coupled with the fact that Zeng Zhiwei travels extensively and has friends everywhere, it makes it easier for him to get support.
In his previous life, Zeng Zhiwei was the only one who could roam around film companies such as New Art City, Golden Harvest, Debao, and Yongsheng at will, and made outstanding contributions, but was not hostile to everyone.
The reason why Summer attaches so much importance to him is because he knows Zeng Zhiwei's ability, and knows that he is a Monkey King who is capable and unrestrained, and wants to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace. If he is not restrained, he is likely to turn the Hong Kong film industry upside down.
The reason why Hong Kong films fell in the previous life was inseparable from the "quick success" of Taiwanese film companies, and Zeng Zhiwei was precisely the one who introduced Taiwan film companies to Hong Kong.
Zeng Zhiwei went to Taiwan to film in the early 80s, and cooperated with the well-known commercial film director Zhu Yanping to shoot "Brother Bing", "Report Warden", "The Ugly Duckling", "Mr. Liar" and so on, so he got acquainted with Taiwanese film companies and made a lot of friends, and then he came back with Taiwanese funds to shoot movies in Hong Kong.
Because it is Taiwanese film companies that invest in films, of course, they must give priority to ensuring their interests, so almost all the movies made follow the trend. Whatever movie is popular, make any movie, and invite which star is popular...... Therefore, the Hong Kong film industry has become popular with trendy films, and the salaries of big-name stars are also high and high, which has messed up the ecology of Hong Kong films.
In the end, Hong Kong movies became shoddy and expensive bad movies, so that the audience lost their appetite, and the box office plummeted, and they no longer regained their original glory.
The Hong Kong film industry is also full of devastation and starvation. At its peak, there were more than 100,000 people in Hong Kong engaged in film-related occupations, but after the new century, there were fewer than 10,000 left. More than 90,000 others either retreated, went north, or were forced to change careers.
Cao Chali, known as the king of Hong Kong's third-class films, became a big star with a series of third-grade films in the 80s and 90s, with a reputation not inferior to Cheng Long and Zhou Xingchi, with an annual income of more than 10 million.
But after entering the new century, with the decline of Hong Kong films, the loneliness of third-class films has now been reduced to the point of making money by selling songs in small bars and telling salty and wet jokes.
Cao Chari is still a well-known star, but he is still so miserable, those eighteenth-tier starlets, actors, makeup, tea, props, photography, editing, dubbing and other personnel, isn't it even more miserable.
……
"Don't talk so deadly, Zeng Zhiwei is not an ordinary person. Summer waved his hand and said, "In my opinion, he may not be able to find funds to take over, after all, half of those two dramas have been filmed, and now they are all cheap." ”
Zeng Zhiwei's two dramas "Catch Yiren with Love" and "Golden Swallow", one is a pickled girl comedy that follows the trend of "Hardcover Chasing Girls", starring Tan Yilin and Japanese actress Hayami, and the other is following the trend "A Chinese Ghost Story", starring Chen Baiqiang, Ni Shiwan, Chen Baixiang, etc.
The cast of these two movies is not bad, and the subject matter is also the hottest theme at the moment, so the box office should be guaranteed. In addition, Zeng Zhiwei is eager to find someone to take over, he will definitely not open his mouth, and the price must be relatively low, so if he takes over now, he may be able to pick up a bargain.
"Then if he really finds someone to take over, then he will escape and breathe a sigh of relief. When Chen Yixin heard this, he said worriedly. Although he has no enmity with Zeng Zhiwei, after all, he is now a competitor, and of course he doesn't want him to get out of trouble.
"That's a good point, so take advantage of his illness and ask him to die, and we must not let him recover. Summer nodded. He has no enmity with Zeng Zhiwei, and can even be said to be friends, but he can't sit idly by and watch Zeng Zhiwei ruin Hong Kong movies, so he wants to take advantage of this crisis to completely suppress him and make him unable to move anymore.
"Then I'll say it to the outside world right away, and don't let people fund him to film. Chen Yixin said immediately.
With the current status of Tianxia Pictures in the Hong Kong film industry, and the influence of Xia Xia in the Hong Kong business community, it is not too difficult to ban Zeng Zhiwei.
"No, it doesn't work. Summer waved his hand.
With his current financial situation, the Hong Kong business community really wants to give him a little thin face. However, his influence is limited to Hong Kong. Taiwanese film dealers are self-contained, and people can't afford to sell their face.
When the time comes, Zeng Zhiwei will not be blocked, but he will become an enemy with him, and he will never die, and he will not do such a thing that hurts others and is not beneficial to himself.
"Brother that day, what do you mean ......," Chen Yixin asked suspiciously.
"Your name is Jiahe and Xinyicheng. Summer instructed, "Let them talk to Huang Yulang and buy the movie theater owned by their good friend." At that time, even if Zeng Zhiwei finds someone to take over, but if there is no theater release, won't he be able to make money. ”
The good friend's funds were provided by Huang Yulang, who is also the largest shareholder. If he insists on selling the theater, Zeng Zhiwei can't stop it.
And Huang Yulang recently lost more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars due to the stock market crash, and now he is short of money. And his listed company still has a bunch of bad debts that have not been solved, and it is estimated that he will have no ambitions for the film industry for a while, so the possibility of him selling theaters is very high.
"Ah, that's a good idea!" Chen Yixin's eyes lit up when he heard this.
As long as Zeng Zhiwei has no theater, then he will become a rootless tree and a source of water, and it is impossible to become a movie tycoon again.
"I'll do it right away!"
