Chapter 117: The idea of turning a club into an entertainment company

In fact, making movies at this time is basically a matter of making money without losing money.

Because at this time, not only is the film market a seller's market, but the market for pirated movies is also quite small, negligible, almost zero.

Why is there so little market for pirated films?

That's because all the Hong Kong Island movies in this era were film films, and things like DVDs had not yet been studied.

Generally speaking, unless the master is stolen, there is little chance of piracy.

At most, it's just that a certain type of movie has a particularly high box office and is finally imitated by other directors.

Although there are all kinds of inconveniences, there is really nothing to say about anti-piracy.

Unlike 60 years later, when the Internet was very prosperous, as soon as a certain movie came out, a day later, or a day or two, all kinds of pirated resources might be flying around on the Internet.

It's not like forty years later, when some movies came out in less than a month, you can buy all kinds of pirated DVDs on the market anytime and anywhere.

On Hong Kong Island in the 60s, the above situation was impossible to happen, but it was precisely because it was impossible to happen that it brought a golden period of nearly 30 years to Hong Kong Island films in the 60s.

Because Wang Xin insisted, the driver Lao Wang's arm couldn't twist his thigh, so he could only take Wang Xin to Causeway Bay.

The car is still quite smooth when driving in the Central and Western Districts, after all, there are relatively many cars in the Central and Western Districts, and the roads are relatively wide when the roads are repaired.

But when you get out of the Central and Western District, especially after entering Causeway Bay, it is much more difficult to drive, because the streets are narrow, and secondly, the streets are surrounded by all kinds of people and stalls.

But Wang Xin was not in a hurry, anyway, he just sat in the back of the car and waited quietly.

Starting from the morning, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky was getting dark, that Wang Xin arrived at his destination.

This road is open, Wang Xin has been observing the surrounding situation and observing the streets he has walked through.

To be honest, Wang Xin feels that only the noisy scene here is more down-to-earth, unlike the Central and Western Districts, where sometimes the silence is not like the bustling area.

"Little master, when you get to the place, do you want me to go in with you?"

With a screeching sound of brakes, Lao Wang sat in the driver's seat and asked.

"No need, I'll go by myself, you just wait here, it shouldn't be an hour. ”

After Wang Xin finished speaking, he got up and pulled the car door and walked out, going straight to the place he had agreed with Tsui Hark before.

It was a morning tea shop, and of course, this point definitely didn't sell breakfast, this point should sell dinner.

However, because it is only three o'clock, there are only a few people in the store eating afternoon tea, and many places are empty.

Wang Xin successfully found Xu Hark sitting in the corner, stepped forward a little faster, sat opposite him, and said with a smile: "Hello, my surname is Wang!"

I'm an investor in the film!"

"Mr. Wang Xin?

You...... So young!"

Tsui Hark is a raunchy man in his thirties with a ten-centimeter-long scar on his face.

Because the previous investment and other work were not done by Ji Yue himself, but by asking York to find someone to do it.

So Tsui Hark naturally never met Wang Xin, but only knew that an investor named Wang Xin invested in the movies made by their club.

When I saw Wang Xin at this time, I couldn't help but be a little surprised when I looked at his immature appearance, which was estimated to be less than twenty years old.

"That's right, it's me!

We don't have to talk about age, you just need to know that I'm your investor.

I came here this time, mainly to see the progress, and to see the actors by the way, of course, I definitely won't change the actors temporarily, just curious to come and take a look.

Where did you shoot your movie? I guess it was made around here!"

Wang Xin came over specially, and there was really no other meaning, just pure curiosity.

I am curious about how movies are made in this era, and I am also curious about whether the gangster turned entertainment company is reliable.

"Mr. Wang, the movie was indeed shot here in Causeway Bay, and there are also a lot of materials on the slum area of the typhoon shelter.

If you want to see it, I can show you it right now.

But you've come all the way here, shouldn't you just be just curious, and want to take a look!"

Tsui Hark felt that he couldn't understand the child opposite, although there were many children on their side who followed them at a young age.

However, those children are completely relying on a stupid energy and a young and ignorant drive to follow them.

It's completely different from the child on the other side who looks calm and behaves in an orderly manner.

"You don't have to think too much about it, I'm really just curious.

Also, I want to see how you transformed from a gangster to an entertainment company!"

Wang Xin continued to talk casually about his plans.

"Entertainment company, we don't plan to be an entertainment company!"

Tsui Hark was a little confused when he heard it, and he couldn't understand what Wang Xin meant at all.

"Hmmm......"

Wang Xin snorted, and then raised his eyes to look at Tsui Hark: "Is that difficult, are you just going to do this business and stop doing it?"

After these two movies are filmed, you will continue to go back to the work of collecting protection money?"

That's right, what Wang Xin said now is what Wang Xin really meant.

Wang Xin wants to set up an entertainment company, but he doesn't bother to worry about it, and at the same time, York doesn't know anything about the entertainment company, and his connections in this area are almost equal to zero.

Therefore, this also means that if Wang Xin wants to run an entertainment company, he has to start from scratch, and even many things have to be done by him personally.

Because at this time, there were no managers who existed specifically for opening an entertainment company.

Moreover, at this time, many entertainment companies on Hong Kong Island were basically connected with various associations and gangs.

Not only at this time, but for a long time to come, the two were inextricably linked, and it was not until the late 90s, after the return of Hong Kong Island, that it was slightly better.

That's why Wang Xin asked York to find a club in Causeway Bay that couldn't get up or down, and tried to get them to make a movie.

The purpose is to train them, and it is best to be able to subdue them for their own use, let them open an entertainment company and support it.

At that time, although it will take some effort, it will be easier than worrying about everything yourself.

Looking back, as long as absolute control of the company is maintained, 51% of the shares are already quite safe, and the remaining 49% can be divided among themselves.

"Yes, of course, I will continue to do the work of the club!

If it weren't for the film you gave us specifically about us, do you think we would be happy to shoot it?

Joke!"

Tsui Hark pursed his lips, shook his head nonchalantly, and shook his legs.
