Although the news that Zhang Xiaoye won the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line was sudden, no one was surprised, and everyone felt completely reasonable the moment they heard the news, but no one knew that the process would be like that, a bit of a child's play.

The Shaw Brothers were finally liquidated, and the Shaw Brothers Cinemas was merged into the Shining Film Studio, which is also a major event in the Xiangjiang film industry, which is reported by many foreign media, and Zhang Xiaoye also made a special trip to hold a press conference.

"After this acquisition, I will continue to invest funds to renovate the theaters under the original Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, and strive to give fans the most extreme viewing experience, from software to hardware, that is, from the film itself to the hardware measures of the theater, as a filmmaker, I hope to bring the best to fans." ”

When asked if Shining Film Studio is more competitive with Shaw Brothers Cinemas in hand, and whether it will compete head-to-head with Golden Harvest and New Arts City, Zhang Xiaoye waved his hand and said: "No, no, there has never been any competition." ”

"I didn't buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas to compete with anyone, on the contrary, I also want to promote the cooperation of the three theaters, if there is no gateway between the theaters in the future, no matter which company's movies can be released simultaneously in the three theaters, there is no difference between intimacy and intimacy, everything is decided according to the market reaction, isn't it better?"

"No matter which company it is, no matter which star it is, after the movie is released, it will abide by the rules of the market, and if the audience likes to watch it, the row of films with a high box office will be high, on the contrary, if there is no audience willing to watch it, then appropriately lower the film schedule, or even directly lower the file. I think this is beneficial to the development of Hong Kong films. ”

Zhang Xiaoye talked eloquently, these words were reported to be a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and almost the entire film and television industry was boiling, if the three theaters could be united, it would be unprecedented, and it could even be firmly recorded in the film history of Xiangjiang films.

Prior to this, only Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers had been screened together in order to resist the rise of the new art city, and it was only a few of their own films, and other companies and people did not have this kind of treatment.

In fact, this also shows the importance of the cinema line, if it weren't for the Golden Princess in Xinyi City, if you don't have to worry about the release of the movie, you would have let Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest run to death a long time ago.

Debao wanted to follow the old path of Xinyicheng, but unfortunately he was cut off by Zhang Xiaoye, and it is difficult to say what he will do next, but other film companies and independent filmmakers are overjoyed to learn the news.

If you can really unite the three lines and do everything according to the market, then you don't have to worry about asking grandpa and grandma to change the film schedule in the future, only if the movie is well made and the audience likes it, you can get the film schedule, and how to divide the account is also clear, which gives them a fair opportunity.

Everyone can see the enthusiasm of the three theater chains, and under the promotion of independent film production companies, media critics, and public knowledge, the call is getting higher and higher, and they are all a bit of a palace.

At this press conference, in addition to releasing news related to the theater, it was also announced that Zhong Chuhong, who had expired his contract with Shaw Brothers, officially joined Shining Film Studio.

Now that the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line has been sold, in fact, the Shaw Brothers are still there, the film company has not explained, and they will still come to join in the fun from time to time in the future, and the signed artists under the Shaw Brothers are still there, but they no longer provide film contracts, and they have to find resources by themselves, and the salary will be drawn by the Shaw Brothers.

So now it's not practical to sign Wang Zuxian to play near the water and get the moon first, but it doesn't matter, as far as Shaw Brothers is concerned, there is no difference from free-range, as long as there is a suitable role, it will be almost the same.

Ordinary people are quite surprised by Zhong Chuhong's signing, because except for the original "Dream Essence" and the current "Dao Ma Dan", the two don't seem to have much in common, and only some insiders know that this is all taken for granted.

After the press conference, the call for the three-line alliance became higher and higher, and Zhong Chuhong couldn't help but say: "Judging from the current posture, if Golden Harvest and Princess Jin do not agree to the union, it will become an obstacle to the development of Xiangjiang films, will it cause their disgust?"

"I didn't expect it to be so loud. Zhang Xiaoye helplessly spread his hands, and then said: "But it shouldn't exist, before I chose to cooperate with whomever to release it in which theater, but now I have my own theater, in addition to the partners, you can also release it on your own, if they still stick to the view of the portal, doesn't that make me specialize in beauty?"

In the future, his movies can be released in at least two theaters, and Golden Harvest or Xinyicheng can only play their own games, this kind of thing that makes people take advantage of it is not appropriate, right?

"That's right, just you take all the good things by yourself. Zhong Chuhong nodded, Zhang Xiaoye put his arm around her waist, and said, "I have to talk about what will happen until we know, I have already made an appointment with Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, you can go with me, anyway, there is nothing to do today." ”

"What about your secretary Guan?" Zhong Chuhong asked a little jealously, and then said: "I said that you don't really want to sign someone to be a secretary, right? ”

"She's not popular yet, there are not many film appointments, and even fewer suitable ones, so it's better to act in a bad movie. Zhang Xiaoye said: "When there is a suitable opportunity, I will push her out." ”

Now Zhang Xiaoye really doesn't care much about Guan Zhiling's filming, she doesn't care about herself, she enjoys her current life very much, so let's do this for the time being, so Zhang Xiaoye hasn't even arranged for her with an agent, otherwise she wouldn't have a film contract.

Whether it is Zou Wenhuai or Lei Juekun, they are all old acquaintances, and the people they made up with Zhang Xiaoye and Zhong Chuhong rushed over first and took the two of them in successively, even if they were competitors, Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun were also very polite between them at this time.

"Yezai, the company of beauties envy others. Lei Juekun glanced at Zhong Chuhong on the side, and sat down jokingly, Zhong Chuhong nodded at him with a smile and did not speak.

"People are not romantic teenagers, and Boss Lei was not the same when he was young. Zou Wenhuai smiled, and Zhang Xiaoye said: "Don't laugh at the two of you, you make me very uneasy like this." ”

"Are you still upset? I don't believe it. Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said, "Actually, we also know that it was not your intention to make such a fuss, because there is no need at all." ”

Zhang Xiaoye said: "So, the meaning is actually very clear, what do you mean?"

"I'm in favor. Lei Juekun nodded first, among the filmmakers in Xiangjiang, he is also a relatively famous reformer, and he was the first to cancel the bottom fee, so it doesn't seem surprising if he agrees.

He followed: "Everyone knows the benefits of cooperation, and it is also very beneficial to us, and I have always said that film companies and theaters are managed separately, and in the future, movies can be screened in three theaters, and the stage will be broader." ”

"I am also in favor of it, and if I still oppose it, I will really become a sinner. Zou Wenhuai made another joke, and then said in a deep voice: "The union is certain, the question is how to unite?"

Zhang Xiaoye said: "I think so, let's hear what you have to say." First, we can directly merge the cinema chain to establish a new company, and everyone will hold the corresponding shares. ”

"Isn't it too radical to do it like this at the beginning?" Zou Wenhuai groaned and knocked on the table, and Zhang Xiaoye continued: "If you think this is radical, then we can sign a cooperation agreement, and everyone will go their own way but follow the same rules." ”

"Alas, Yezai, your idea is not bad, but how to divide it appropriately, and how to determine the ratio of our own films to other companies, these have to be carefully considered. ”

Zou Wenhuai's last "ah" lengthened his tone, and then he stopped mentioning the joint matter as soon as the conversation changed, and this time he talked for more than an hour, and it can only be said that he reached a preliminary intention.

Sending these two bigwigs away again, Zhong Chuhong said: "These two are really old foxes, I think Lei Juekun is more sincere." ”

"At least they all agree to unite, don't they?" Zhang Xiaoye smiled and said: "Zou Wenhuai is still relatively conservative, which is true, but he didn't immediately determine it because Jiahe needs to discuss it internally, and of course such a big matter can't be decided casually." ”

"So you thought that this meeting would not even reach the initial intention?"

Zhang Xiaoye shook his head and said: "That's not true, I'm still very confident in this, what is the high-sounding reason for promoting the development of Xiangjiang films is too high, in fact, no matter how much the outside world appeals, it is the same, whether it can be united depends mainly on interests, there is no problem when the interests are in place, and it is useless to appeal if the interests are not in place." ”

"Now the whole Xiangjiang is our three cinema chains, if they are united, it will directly monopolize the market, and the advantage of this is that it is more standardized, but at the same time, other film companies have no choice but to cooperate with us. It is more appropriate to say that it is a cooperation agreement, but in fact, it is more appropriate to say that it is an offensive and defensive alliance. ”

Zhong Chuhong couldn't help but say when he heard it: "So it's really business-free and treacherous, aren't you afraid that someone will re-establish a cinema chain to confront you?"

"It seems like there really is. Zhang Xiaoye thought of Pan Disheng, this guy is also wealthy, if he unites a few people to set up a theater line, it seems that it is possible, it depends on how Pan Disheng wants to toss.

"But it doesn't matter. Zhang Xiaoye then said: "The development of the cinema chain mainly depends on the source of the film, without the support of wonderful movies, everything is virtual, in terms of content output, who can compare to us in the entire Xiangjiang?"

The establishment of a cinema chain, if there is no work to attract the audience into the venue, it will not be maintained at all, the operating cost of the theater is not low, Zhang Xiaoye, Golden Harvest and New Art City have almost represented the best Xiangjiang films, how can they be afraid of competition with them.
