In the past few years since DreamWorks withdrew from the Taiwan Film Market, the Taiwan Film Market has undergone a lot of changes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At present, the strongest distribution strength in the Taiwan film market is still the four major distributors of the 'state' brand, 'Nuctech', 'Xinhua', 'Bowei', and 'Central' with government backgrounds -- in fact, like the mainland, there are many state-owned enterprises in Taiwan, but these state-owned enterprises are all 'party property' owned by the Guoguan Party. In fact, the four major 'national' distributors were all incorporated by the Jiang family's father and son after fleeing to Taiwan, and the theaters directly under the former RB or built by traitors were formed after decades of development, and the four major 'national' distributors have thirty or forty cinemas under their names, and many even have forty or fifty cinemas. In the past few years, state-owned distributors and private distributors have been competing against each other for the film market for many years, and under the pressure of private distributors, the four major distributors of the 'state' brand reached a strategic alliance in '86 (since 86 years, they have connected all the more popular films) and maintained their position as the largest distributors.

The strength is slightly inferior to that of the private distributors in Taiwan led by the local film giant 'Scholar', including 'Scholar', 'Long Xiang', 'Miramar', 'Keelung Xiutai', 'Weixiu' and so on - back then, Cai Songlin relied on the money earned from distributing DreamWorks films, not only gained a firm foothold in the Taiwan Film Market, but also won the capital to invest in films and set up theaters. In 1985 and 1986, "Scholar" was the most profitable film distribution company in Taiwan. During this period, Cai Songlin also successively established companies such as "Xuefu", "Xueyan", "Xueguan" and "Xueheng", thus forming an industrial chain integrating production, sales and screening, and also owning the right to schedule films in the two major cinema chains of "Golden Horse" and "Big World", which can be called the benchmark of private film companies in Taiwan. However, private publishers are not as united as state-owned publishers. Therefore, even scholars who have swelled into behemoths cannot shake the leading distribution status of the four major publishers of the 'country'.

Then followed by Shaw Brothers (Nanyang Shaw Brothers), Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, Meiya these four foreign distributors with fragrant *** - Shaw Brothers has four wholly-owned cinema cinemas and seven joint venture cinemas in Taiwan, Golden Harvest has five wholly-owned cinema cinemas and eleven joint ventures, franchised cinemas Cinemas, Golden Princess has five joint venture cinema cinemas, and Meiya, which originally took video distribution as its main business, also has two cinemas and joined seven or eight Taiwan cinema films. Most of these foreign publishers who own incense *** are now affiliated with the names of private publishers such as 'Scholar' and 'Longxiang', and have not formed a unified force. Therefore, they can also be classified as private publishers.

In addition, various forces on the Taiwan Bend also control dozens of movie theaters, and the Hollywood giant Warner, which has only entered the movie theater industry in Taiwan in recent years, also has more than a dozen movie theaters under its name.

But-

Generally speaking, at present, state-owned distributors, private distributors, and foreign distributors with incense ***, including cinemas controlled by various forces on the Taiwan bend and cinemas under the name of Hollywood giant Warner, are basically concentrated in Taipei, and few have their own theaters in Taichung and Tainan.

It is no wonder that the Chiang family devoted themselves to the development of northern Taiwan for the first 40 years of their arrival in Taiwan, and it was not until two years before Chiang's death that Chiang pushed the construction of Taichung and Tainan on the agenda -- at present, the construction of a highway connecting the north and the south has begun, and the prosperity of Taichung and Tainan is just around the corner.

This time, Xu Cun came to Taiwan, in addition to accompanying the female relatives in Taiwan, there was another purpose - to establish a cinema line in Taichung and Tainan that could compete with Taipei.

Not long ago, the Philippines, one of the important overseas markets for Hong Kong films, suddenly began to restrict the release of Hong Kong films.

At the same time, the Philippines began to open its doors to Hollywood films.

Prior to this, eight of the top 10 films in the Philippines at the annual box office were Hong Kong films. Now, there are eight Hollywood movies - a few Hong Kong films that have passed the official review of the Philippines and can be released in the Philippines, and the best can only get ten out of the top ten.

Actually,

The Philippines' abandonment of Hong Kong films and the opening of the market to Hollywood films will have no impact on Xu Cun and DreamWorks, who have long established themselves in Hollywood -- Xu Cun and DreamWorks can still enter the Philippine film market to make money.

The problem is that the Philippines is just a stone for the United States and Hollywood to ask for directions -- even if it is not a human being, Xu Cun, who is a member of Hollywood, knows that Hollywood is already preparing for a large-scale crusade to the East, and its target is not only the Philippines, but also other countries in the South Seas, RB South Korea, Taiwan Bend, including Xiangjiang and the mainland, are all targets of its aggression.

On top of that, the history of the last life has proven that all the targets targeted by Hollywood eventually fall.

In this life, Xu Cun has relied on foresight to lay out a tight defense line in parts of Thailand and Singapore, RB South Korea, Xiangjiang, and the mainland, and began to counterattack North America early, and Xu Cun is preparing to seize the European film market with Hollywood.

It can be said that in addition to the Taiwan Film Market, Xu Cun is in the lead everywhere.

Although it cannot be compared with the North American, Chinese, and RB film markets, the Taiwan film market has always been a large film market.

Moreover, the Taiwan Film Market is still a pure Chinese film market.

Therefore, Xu Cun naturally can't let the Taiwan Film Market become a colony of Hollywood films.

But—

Xu Cun and DreamWorks withdrew from the Taiwan Film Market five or six years ago - although Xu Cun and DreamWorks' influence in the Taiwan Film Market is still there, but the distribution strength has been completely extinguished, of course, if Xu Cun is willing to completely withdraw from the Taiwan Distribution Market, with his and DreamWorks' influence, he can also gather a large force in the Taiwan Film Market, but this force is an unreliable external force after all, and it is not the real strength of Xu Cun and DreamWorks.

In addition, there are a large number of pro-American people in Taiwan Bend, and these people will do everything to curry favor with the United States, so in the foreseeable future, a large number of distributors in Taiwan Bend will become minions of Hollywood movies.

Therefore, if he wants to keep the film market in Taiwan, Xu Cun can only establish his own cinema line in Taiwan.

Let's be honest -

It is not easy for Xu Cun, a red-capped businessman, to establish a cinema line in Taiwan, especially at this stage where it has not been completely thawed.

Therefore, whether Xu Cun wants it or not, he has to find a powerful partner in Taiwan.

After sifting and selecting the people who were qualified to cooperate with him several times, Xu Cun circled this partner.
