Xu Cunzài's brilliant achievements in the past two years have made many people popular with more and more film companies opening, and there are even many people who don't know much about movies, but are willing to devote all their wealth to making movies. It seems that as long as you enter the film industry, everyone can become Xu Cun, and everyone can soar to the sky and be worth hundreds of millions.

Most of these small film companies are shoddy, and the quality of the films is extremely low, and nine out of ten films cannot be released in several major theaters.

Can't be released what they filmed to do?

Don't forget, in addition to several major theaters, there are also many neighborhood theaters and rural theaters, where bones are hard to gnaw and meat are also meat.

The inferior films produced by those small film companies are shown in a large number of scattered small theaters, although they can only sell hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars at most, but it is enough for them to recover their costs and make a small profit.

Especially for those illegally ******** films, one bed and one camera, one man and one woman can be made into a film, and they are not sent to the electrical inspection office for review at all, and they are directly released in underground theaters after filming.

At the same time that Xiangjiang Films were booming, Shaw Brothers Pictures began to decline.

The sign of Shaw's decline is not that the number of films produced each year is decreasing. On the contrary, it has produced more films this year than it did last year, producing 15 films in the first half of the year alone.

Why is this happening?

is because the attendance rate of Shaw Brothers' movies is too low, and each movie has to be released in advance within a few days. And the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line has a big stall there, and it loses money every day if it doesn't show movies, so the Shaw Brothers has to increase the production of films to meet the needs of its own cinemas.

This creates a vicious circle - poor film quality leads to low attendance, lower attendance reduces the number of days a single film is released, and more movies must be made to make up for the scarcity of film sources when the number of days is reduced, and in order to make more movies, the production cost of a single film will inevitably be reduced, and the quality of the film will decline after the production cost is reduced.

If left unchecked, this creates a dead knot – a dead knot that will never be untied.

Shao Yifu naturally won't wait for death, and he also wants to kill Golden Harvest and DreamWorks to dominate the Xiangjiang film industry, so he plans to make a few blockbuster movies first to save the current crisis and tide over the current predicament.

Therefore, Shao Yifu sent someone to find Zhang Guoming, the hero who earned nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars for Xu Cun last year.

No one knows what Shao Yifu talked about with Zhang Guoming and what conditions he promised Zhang Guoming, and the people of Xiangjiang only know that Zhang Guoming left DreamWorks and began to shoot the movie "Marginal Man" for Shaw Brothers.

If Shao Yifu dug Xu Cun's corner only for the purpose of saving himself, then Xu Cun's partner Lei Juekun dug Xu Cun's corner entirely because Xu Cun made a lot of money- Seeing that Xu Cunkai Film Company could only follow the soup, Lei Juekun decided to open up the production business, and provided funds to the film company for filming and production, and after completion, the Golden Princess Cinema Line was responsible for scheduling the release and publicity and distribution, and after the film received the box office, the cost was deducted and the two sides shared the account as a way of cooperation to attract potential filmmakers to join.

In fact, the Golden Princess strategy is undoubtedly good news for independent companies: it has the back-up support of stable behind-the-scenes funders, and can also gain greater choice in theatrical scheduling, while also helping to improve the company's production and competitiveness.

Therefore, Mecca, Shi Tian, and Huang Baiming discussed cooperation with Lei Juekun. However, in the face of Lei Juekun's offer to own 51% of the company's equity as a condition for capital injection to reorganize the film company, Shi Tian once objected to it on the grounds that "our films make money, why should we divide half of them", but Mecca and Huang Baiming believed that this method would give the new company the opportunity to start filming more themes, rather than staying in the deadlock of waiting for money to start filming every year and only enough to make one or two films, which was actually a win-win situation in the long run, and Shi Tian then agreed to accept Lei Juekun's offer.

In August this year, New Arts City Film Co., Ltd. was finally announced with the support of Princess Jin, and began filming the entrepreneurial work "Funny Times", directed by Golden Harvest's director Wu Yusen's pseudonym 'Wu Shangfei'.

On the occasion of Zhang Luo's new art city, Lei Juekun also threw olive branches to Xu Cun's two important ministers.

One of these two important ministers is Zeng Zhiwei.

After the release of "Dirty Thieves", it also achieved quite good results - in Hong Kong and overseas, "Dirty Thieves" earned a total of more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars for DreamWorks.

continuously filmed two blockbuster kung fu comedies "Kicking the Hall" and "Thief Stolen Goods", Zeng Zhiwei became the "living treasure" that Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, and Luo Wei vied for. Lei Juekun is also very optimistic about Zeng Zhiwei's directing ability, but he does not plan to support Zeng Zhiwei, who is lonely, to open a film company, but wants Zeng Zhiwei to join Xinyicheng to work for him, for which he even gave Zeng Zhiwei three times the salary when Zeng Zhiwei was in DreamWorks.

Another important minister is Chen Xunqi.

For Chen Xunqi, who was very popular with Xu Cun and made a blockbuster movie like "Pretty Girl" for Xu Cun, Lei Juekun gave the same conditions as Xinyicheng - to partner in a film company. Moreover, Lei Juekun also hinted that Chen Xunqi could poach people from DreamWorks to enrich the film company that the two co-founded.

In the face of the conditions given by Lei Juekun, it was false to say that Chen Xunqi and Zeng Zhiwei were not moved.

But—

Neither Chen Xunqi nor Zeng Zhiwei immediately agreed to Lei Juekun.

Zeng Zhiwei didn't agree not because he was loyal to Xu Cun, but because he was not satisfied with the conditions put forward by Lei Juekun - if Lei Juekun could give him Chen Xunqi's conditions, he would definitely agree without hesitation. But Lei Juekun only gave him a double salary increase, which made it a little difficult for him to choose. You must know that working in DreamWorks has the opportunity to go to Hollywood to develop, which is a resource that Shaw Brothers and even Golden Harvest do not have, let alone the new film company New Art City. Besides, Zeng Zhiwei didn't want to betray or even offend Xu Cun, a movie tycoon who was in the ascendancy, because of this benefit.

Chen Xunqi didn't agree because he really respected Xu Cun and didn't want to betray Xu Cun. However, Chen Xunqi has a curiosity in his bones that he wants to try new things. Therefore, having the opportunity to be the boss of a film company made Chen Xunqi very entangled.

In addition, in the first half of this year, DreamWorks only had one Zeng Zhiwei's "Dirty" released, which will inevitably give some people the illusion that DreamWorks is just a strong outsider.

Therefore, in the face of all kinds of temptations infiltrated by the outside world, some employees of DreamWorks even took charge of the grass in their hearts.

In other words, while Xu Cun reaped glory and money from Hollywood, he also had to face internal and external troubles caused by his departure from Xiangjiang.
