Chapter 572: The Age of Big Productions

Xu Cun is really busy this year, it can be said that he has been busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, so busy that he has no time to pay attention to the changes in the Xiangjiang film industry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, when Xu Cun was a little free, he found that the Xiangjiang film industry had undergone great changes.

The first change is that the new art city is getting worse.

There are many reasons for the deterioration of the new art city, among which there are naturally the two major listed companies of "Kowloon Bus" and "Kowloon Urban Construction" under the name of the Kowloon Lei family, and it is also one of the shareholders of the "Kowloon Metro", with assets of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

But Lei Qizheng's attitude is actually not the most important reason for the deterioration of the new art city - after all, Lei Qizheng, a layman, does not participate in the specific operation of the new art city, which may not be a good thing for the new art city.

The main reason for the deterioration of the new art city is that Mecca and Shi Tian are not as enthusiastic about movies as they used to be - the former has an extra computer in the "struggle room" used for the bridge to study the daily stock market, and the latter has a bunch of books about real estate around him. The two even "persuaded" Huang Baiming, who was still vigorously developing movies, saying that the golden age of Xiangjiang movies was about to pass, and it was better to stop it now. It can be seen that what the current new art city has lost is not creativity and talent, but military spirit.

In short, the current new art city has almost become a situation in which Huang Baiming is the sole name - except for the beginning of this year, which relied on DreamWorks' distribution network to release "Best Partner 5" with special effects technology to Europe and the United States, which earned more than 20 million US dollars, the entire new art city is almost all supported by Huang Baiming's family comedy "Eight Star Annunciation" directed by Huang Baiming, and Mecca and Shi Tian's casual works "Killing Beauty", "Love with Long and Short Feet", "Righteous Courage and Red Lips", "Eight Treasures" and other films have all achieved average results.

The equity distribution of Xinyicheng: Huang Baiming holds 9 percent, Shi Tian holds 19 percent, and Princess Jin and Mecca share account for 72 percent, and of the 72 percent equity, Princess Jin accounts for 51 percent and Mecca accounts for 49 percent.

That is to say, the Golden Princess, represented by Lei Qizheng, who does not care about it, accounts for 36.72 percent of the equity of the new art city, Mecca, who only knows that he studies the daily stock market every day, accounts for 35.28 percent of the equity of the new art city, Shi Tian, who studies real estate speculation every day, accounts for 19 percent of the equity of the new art city, and now Huang Baiming, the only self-motivated and the only one who can help the new art city make money, only accounts for 9 percent of the equity of the new art city.

Let's ask, how can the new art city not get worse in this situation?

Now, Huang Baiming has the intention of running away and working alone, and is only waiting for a suitable opportunity.

In addition, the Hong Kong film market is booming, and Nanyang, Taiwan, South Korea and other places are willing to invest in Hong Kong films to make profits, but because the four major cinema chains (DreamWorks Cinemas, Golden Harvest Cinemas, Golden Princess Cinemas, and Shuangnan Cinemas) dominate the Hong Kong film industry, foreign capital can occasionally shoot Hong Kong films, but they can't get prime time and popular movie stars. Therefore, the other two major shareholders of Golden Princess Cinemas, Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong, decided to set up another Xinbao Cinema Line, which is independent of the four major cinema chains, to act as an intermediary between foreign capital and Hong Kong independent production companies.

The second change is the change of Golden Harvest.

In the end, the shareholders of Golden Harvest still failed to resist the temptation of the rising stock price and property prices before the stock market crash, and on the eve of the stock market crash, they did not hesitate to enter the stock market and the property market to die.

Luckily -

Relying on the good relationship established with Xu Cun, DreamWorks helped Golden Harvest release a "Police Story" and a "Best Lucky Star", so that Golden Harvest's foundation was thicker than in the previous life.

In addition, last year, Xu Cun's reminder to Zou Wenhuai played a role - Zou Wenhuai hesitated again and again, and finally reduced the investment in the stock market and property market by half.

The combination of these two things made Jiahe not be the same as the previous life, and since then its vitality has been greatly damaged, and then it has gradually declined.

After the stock market crash.

In addition to being frightened and heartbroken, Zou Wenhuai ignored his wife Yuan Xihua's troubles, and immediately adopted Xu Cun's suggestion, and personally called Zou Chongjin, who was about to enter the medical industry, back to Jiahe as the successor of the Jiahe Dynasty.

Of course, Zou Wenhuai can't even have the most basic family affection because of Xu Cun's few words of the 'magic stick' - Zou Wenhuai is also cultivating Zou Chongyan, but unlike the previous life, Zou Chongyan is no longer the only heir cultivated by the Jiahe Dynasty.

The third change is the decline of Debao.

In this stock market crash, the most seriously injured was not Golden Harvest's Zou Wenhuai, but Debao's Pan Disheng, who lost 460 million Hong Kong dollars without even entering the game.

Even if Pan Disheng is a little wealthy, even if Pan Disheng's father is also a rich man, but losing the 460 million Hong Kong dollars at once still hurts Pan Disheng's muscles to the bone, so that Pan Disheng has to sell the Debao Film Company, which has just improved.

Presently.

Under Xu Cun's instructions, DreamWorks Films has bought Debao Films' film library.

The staff of Debao Film Company scattered in all directions - in the current period of high prosperity of Xiangjiang films, they are not worried about finding a home.

The equipment of Turvo Film Company has been carved up by the newly emerging small and medium-sized film companies.

Debao Cinemas, the most valuable of Debao Film Company, is now reduced to a fragmented cinema chain like Liberty Cinemas, undertaking low-cost and even three-pole films produced by independent production companies - this is also the reason why Debao Cinemas has not been ranked in the four major cinema chains.

All in all, Hong Kong films have almost reached their heyday, but the old big-name film companies except DreamWorks Studios are currently going downhill.

Xu Cun, who has such rich experience in two lives and this life, knows too well that these small and medium-sized film companies that are dancing happily now are actually a group of rabble, and they can also make a little money by taking advantage of the general trend, and they simply don't have the courage or strength to play big productions.

Therefore, if Xu Cun doesn't want Hong Kong films to decline, he can't let the big film companies that have the courage and strength to play big productions decline-after all, no matter how powerful Xu Cun is, it is impossible for him to stand up to an industry by himself.

Therefore, after learning about the current situation of major film companies, Xu Cun personally instructed DreamWorks Films to open five major productions: "Captain America" (production cost of 82 million US dollars), "Spider-Man" (production cost of 87 million US dollars), "Zhu Xian 3" (production cost of 210 million Hong Kong dollars), "Three Kings and Two Aunts" (production cost of 120 million Hong Kong dollars), and "Rain Man" (production cost of 25 million US dollars) to tell Xiangjiang filmmakers: The era of big production has opened in Xiangjiang!
