"Golden Harvest, New Art City, Debao ......"

Returning home with a copy of the contract he had just signed, Chen Jialuo collapsed on the sofa and thought weakly.

Since the 60s, the film industry in Hong Kong has developed rapidly, writing a history of monopoly struggles for film giants.

What is a film giant?

With one-stop production and marketing, Shaw Brothers, Cathay Pacific, and Golden Harvest, which are qualified to compete for hegemony, are not producers, distributors, theaters, and celebrities are self-sufficient.

The most important thing in this industrial chain is the cinema chain, and with the cinema chain, you can catch the audience. The Xiangjiang audience at that time had to remember the theater line, and if you wanted to see Bruce Lee, you would definitely not see it when you went to the Shaw Brothers theater. On the contrary, if you want to see Fu Sheng, don't go to Golden Harvest's theaters. This kind of theater monopoly situation is also the key point that makes the theater bosses prosperous for a long time.

Looking at the Xiangjiang film industry in this period, if you apply "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is really a scene of a group of heroes competing for hegemony: Shaw Brothers has a long history, and it is a family business, as if the Han Dynasty is orthodox, and it has existed in name only; Zou Wenhuai was originally an important minister of the Shaw Brothers, and later set up his own door, and Jiahe can be compared to Cao Wei; the three brothers Maijia, Shi Yan, and Huang Baiming "struggled" to fight the world, and the new art city was like the extreme Shu Han; Pan Dison was born in a famous family, and successively appointed Cen Jianxun and Xian Qiran to preside over the overall situation of Debao, which was exactly the means of Soochow......

If Chen Jialuo really only had these three choices, he should not hesitate to choose to go to Debao Pictures.

Xinyicheng is full of talents, even if they are fighting on their own, they are all top-notch. Golden Harvest is sitting on Fanglong, Hong Jinbao and other signboards, standing still. Only Debao does not seem to have a real general under his command.

At the beginning, Shaw Brothers ceased production, and the emerging Debao Company leased Shaw Cinemas and continued to monopolize the pattern of large companies. The management model of Debao is different from that of the previous Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and New Art City, Shaw Brothers is a family business, and the brothers Shao Renmei and Run Run Run Shaw have the final say; Golden Harvest is a shareholder system, and Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang wrestle with several shareholders; New Art City creation is collective wisdom, with Mai Jia, Shi Yan and Huang Baiming as the speakers, but they are employed by Lei Juekun's Golden Princess Cinema Line; Debao is invested by Pan Dison and uses the professional manager system, which is first run by Shum Jianxun, and is now taken over by Xian Qiran.

At the beginning, Hong Jinbao, Cen Jianxun and Pan Dison worked together on Debao, Hong Jinbao himself was just a nominal name, occupying some shares to help shoot something, and the filmmaker in the real sense was Cen Jianxun.

In fact, what is the most afraid of when we start a career together, what I am most afraid of is the layman guiding the insider. At the beginning, Shum Jianxun told Pandison: Say that you make clocks, I won't teach you how to make clocks, and you can't touch my movies, you have to let go.

Later, the reason why he was kicked out, or broke up, was because Pandison intervened in the affairs of the film company.

In fact, in Chen Jialuo's view, the timing of Pan Dison's intervention is also very accurate, and it can be said to be helpless from the outside. After all, it is a big boss behind the scenes of a company, and he always loses money or doesn't make any money, which is unreasonable!

Obviously, the film industry is getting better and better, and it is clear that he is the leader of the theater chain, how can he not be like Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest?

If Cen Jianxun is as smart as Wang Jing, he may really be able to make Debao prosperous.

As a manager, you don't think about how to help the boss and the company make money, but want to play your favorite movies, isn't that an act of looking for death?

At the beginning of the "Five Lucky Stars" series, Cen Jianxun starred in "Curly Hair" and made him famous. It's just that such a comedian likes to engage in literary films. For example, "Waiting for the Dawn", "Favorite" and so on, what really wants to make money must be the neurotic comedies he plays.

According to Cen Jianxun's own words, even the movie has not been made, but it may be opened, wow, Taiwan will take the money, I may need 10 million, maybe I have already got 20 or 30 million, it was like this in that era, the golden decade.

At that time, whether it was a distributor in the film industry or a boss, everyone said, "Oh, anyway, curly hair can help me make money, forget it, he's crazy, you just make him happy."

You can keep such a person to make films, but if you are in charge of a film company, how can you make money? Pandison obviously saw this clearly, so he did not hesitate to intervene.

Pan Dison intervened, Cen Jianxun fought with him, but no matter how he fought, he was the big boss behind the scenes after all, and the final result was that Xian Qiran took his place.

However, in Chen Jialuo's opinion, Xian Qiran's ability is obviously not good. As for movies, "The Thief" directed by him is being released, and the box office can't even catch up with "The Legend of Wesley", let alone movies such as "Prison Storm".

"Perhaps, it is also a good choice to go directly to Debao to be a manager?" This idea popped up, and Chen Jialuo was greatly moved.

If you want to continue playing movies in this environment, these are the few paths. The cinema predators are in front, and the current independent film production companies can't play it.

If Pan Dison really interfered in the company's operation because Shum Jianxun could not make a profit for the company, and then replaced the manager, Chen Jialuo would not mind. At least he believed that if he was in charge of Debao, he would definitely be able to make a profit.

A cinema giant like Debao at least includes various responsible departments such as the distribution department, production department, script department, publicity department, and the head of the cinema. With Chen Jialuo's ambition for the future, if he can go to Debao to exercise, it will be much easier to get started if he wants to build a real film company in the future.

As for whether he can enter Debao, Chen Jialuo has no worries in this regard. Now he is not the depressed street director of the past.

Even if he said that he wanted to be an independent film studio with Mr. Lei, Mr. Lei would not hesitate much, the only fly in the ointment was that it was difficult for him to surpass the status and treatment of Mecca and others.

And going to Golden Harvest, it is even more impossible. People have Fang Long, Hong Jinbao, and the top action teams in Xiangjiang, they can shoot whatever they want, Chen Jialuo went over, and he became a director if he died.

If so, he might as well stay in the film studio, with Xu Wei on it and don't bother the producer and producer, and he has the final say below, without any objections at all.

However, people go to high places, water flows to low places, Chen Jialuo has ambitions, and naturally wants to take bigger steps.

Perhaps Debao is really a good test site for himself, and the only thing that needs to be figured out now is Pandison's temperament. How does this watch company boss get along?

Chen Jialuo, who was swallowing clouds and fog at home, suddenly remembered a person: "It seems that the high-mouthed cannon has been dug up by Debao, I can ask him." ”
