It's all small companies being bullied by big companies, and I haven't heard of big companies being suppressed by small companies. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The key issue is that a large company is a company as a whole, operated by the boss, and the password is the same.

Although small companies together have half of the resources, the combined box office of 800 small movie theaters can do 200 big movie theaters, and these two hundred big movie theaters are only in the hands of seven or eight large entertainment companies.

Three points of the world.

Zhang Xuan wants to stand out, but he doesn't want to bow to big companies, he refuses to 'affiliate', and seeks refuge, and everyone doesn't know what method he has?

Originally, Zhang Xuan was ready to start filming "The Story of Ah Lang" with a little depth, but now he has changed his mind.

"Immediately contact all the theater owners who have a good relationship with us, this time it is only open to related households. We ask for none of us. Zhang Xuan said to Xue He calmly, he was not angry.

Xue He sighed, and said in his heart that you are the boss, you can do whatever you want, anyway, we have cartoons.

Since the advent of cartoons, the Chinese entertainment company has enough confidence from top to bottom, but if the number of filming is not enough, and a group of actors will not be able to get the opportunity to film for a long time, it will have an impact on morale and recruitment.

Chinese entertainment companies need to be on the plate now!

"If you are so blatantly working against several big cinema chains and big entertainment companies, I'm afraid it will attract the dissatisfaction of Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers Pictures and New Art City, right?" Zhao Yazi's worried reminder.

Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "Love is not satisfied, as long as you want to come out, you will always encounter all kinds of problems, I am the general trend, I believe that there are enlightened bosses who can think of going with me." Also, as long as our shopping mall goes well, in the future, the cinema resources I have at my disposal will account for more than two-thirds of the entire Hong Kong cinema chain, and I still have to reshuffle the cards! ”

Burst.

None of the people made a sound, and they all looked at the ambitious Boss Zhang.

Zhang Xuan smiled, "How can people have no ambitions?" Without ambition, there is no goal. ”

"By the way, Xue He, I asked you to contact the recruiting actors, how is it? We, the Chinese entertainment company, must have our own artist training class! Zhang Xuan remembered one more thing.

Burst!

Xue He almost fainted, we are such a small company, we must have our own artist training class? What about when you are TVB and ATV? "I've contacted a few girls, and I'll report to the boss alone."

Everyone is as surprised as Xue He, a small entertainment company with more than 40 people, the key is not to make a movie, what do you do with so many actors?

Wang Jixian and Zhou Huimin are only supporting actresses who have appeared in a few movies, after Wen Bixia arrived at the Chinese Entertainment Company, she has not had the opportunity to show her face on the big screen of the movie, do you still want to recruit people?

"Yes." Zhang Xuan nodded to Xue He.

"Artist training class?" Zhao Yazi said worriedly: "Ah Xuan, this is a little too early, right?" With the current size of our company, do we need so many artists? Why don't you wait until you're too busy? ”

"When you can't get busy, it's too late." Zhang Xuan smiled: "The film will not be filmed soon!" ”

"Ah Xuan, don't be in such a hurry, right?" Zhang Feiyan is also worried.

"There are 50 people in the artist training class of ATV and TVB, and we have 5 to 10 people in the first phase, isn't it? Don't you recruit artists and don't train them? This department must have it. It's also for us to move towards a big entertainment company in the future. Zhang Xuan said with a smile.

When everyone heard Zhang Xuan say this, they were a little relieved.

"Well, what Ah Xuan said makes sense, this department does need it, at most, it costs a few more teachers' money, and if you can find a good actor, you can make a cameo as a teacher." Zhao Yazi agrees with Zhang Xuan's view.

Zhang Xuan gave Zhao Yazi a thumbs up, "It's still my wife who understands me." ”

Zhao Yazi's face turned red, and she gave Zhang Xuan a wink.

Zhang Xuan slapped his face and said with a smile: "The meeting is dismissed." ”

Everyone was relieved to see that the boss's mentality was very good.

When everyone left, Xue He took out his notebook and said to Zhang Xuan: "Brother Xuan, Ye Yuqing, Qiu Yueqing, Wu Xuewen, Chen Yingzhi, Guan Xiumei, Zhong Shuhui, Weng Hong, willing to come to our company, Wu Jiali has just expired with wireless, and I am still talking." She kind of wants to go to ATV, and she also kind of wants to find a big film company. Ye Zilin is interested in coming to our company, Qiu Shuzhen, Zhang Min, and also intent, but these are girls who have just graduated from middle school, which is more rubbing. This Chen Baolian is only 12 years old this year, Brother Xuan, is it too early? There is also this Zhang Wenci in 1971, only 14 years old, but Zhang Wenci also intends to come. ”

Zhang Xuan snorted, when he made the list, he listed it casually, only knowing that these people had not debuted yet, forgetting that Chen Baolian was from 1973.

If you are caught at the age of 12 to make a C-grade film, it doesn't seem to be very suitable, what if you are accused of being a minor later?

"14-year-old Zhang Wenci is also interested in coming? Aren't there any adults in her house? Zhang Xuanqi said.

"The adults don't care, and the little girl will graduate from junior high school soon. The list you listed, there are many little flying girls who don't have adults in the house. Xue He said with a smile.

"If you can come, you can get it, raise it first, and don't miss the money for the little girl's food." Zhang Xuan waved his hand. "However, at such a young age, that is, to establish a relationship in advance and prepare for the future, if you don't have a guardian, you can't really sign a contract."

Xue He hurriedly nodded in agreement, "Understood, Brother Xuan." ”

"Your job is good, if you are interested, get it done as soon as possible, do more work, the little girl has a family, you still have to start with the parents." Zhang Xuan said with a smile, he was already very satisfied with this achievement, thinking of Ye Yuqing, Zhang Xuan was full of fire.

Is it to let Ye Yuqing shoot C-grade films, he is really a little reluctant.

But Ye Yuqing's appearance seems to be only suitable for C-level films, and her beauty is actually not bad, but her temperament is biased and lacks some aura.

It can also be seen here, how important is aura? If you don't have aura, no matter how much you hold it, it's hard to hold it.

"Brother Xuan, these people you listed, their families are relatively poor, most of them are problem families, and several girls are Feimei. It's really useless to find parents, adults really don't care. I've gone to a few adults, and they all told me to get out, and they all said that they didn't give birth to this daughter. However, Brother Xuan, please rest assured, within three days, I promise to get it all, the problem is that our company doesn't have any movies now, why do you want so many actresses? Xue He touched his chin, "Moreover, the beautiful ones are all very beautiful, but the waves are very big, and there are few pure ones, so you still have to find more pure ones when making movies, right?" ”

Belch.

What kind of adults are these? That's fine, you don't care about your daughter, I'll take care of it, hehe.

"What are you doing in charge of people's big things?" Zhang Xuan said with a smile, "Aren't there Wang Qixian and Zhou Huimin who are pure?" How else do you want to be pure? ”

"Well, Brother Xuan, I'm going to let people contact the boss of the entertainment industry who usually has a good relationship with us." Xue He touched a nail and hurriedly wanted to go out.

"Wait a minute, the actor should also pay attention, Wu Mengda and Zhang Yaoyang, you go and help me find it." Zhang Xuan took out the contact information of the two people to Xue He, and made an underworld movie, no one can miss Zhang Yaoyang Wow, this is a big killer, and you will know that it is the underworld when you appear. "Forget it, you can just find Zhang Yaoyang, Wu Mengda, I will ask Du Qifeng to help me contact me. Also, a place to meet the boss of the entertainment industry is placed in a restaurant, and it is better to find a better restaurant and talk about business while eating. ”

Zhang Xuan gave a bunch of instructions in one go, and Xue He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to remember them, so he hurriedly used his notebook to remember them.

Wu Mengda was born in Xiamen, Fujian Province in 1953 and left Xiamen for Hong Kong at the age of 7.

In 1973, he applied for the third Hong Kong TVB Artist Training Course, and his classmates included Zhou Yunfa and Lin Lindong, and his results have always been among the top five.

Wu Mengda, who became famous too early, soon lost himself in fame and fortune, drinking every day, playing cards, dating women, and having no heart to work, so he looked forward to finishing work early, including his junior brother Du Qifeng thought that he was a "mud that can't support the wall".

Wu Mengda made a guest appearance in "Yingtai Weeping Blood" directed by Li Hanxiang in 1973.

Since 1975, he has been performing on TVB and has participated in numerous but almost all supporting roles. His earliest performances were in the Folk Legends series; It was not until 1979 that he began to attract attention with the role of "Hu Tiehua" in the performance of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang".

In 1980, he owed a gambling debt of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, and he was faced with no drama to take, and once wanted to commit suicide.

Later, he cultivated his mind, worked hard to study acting again, and finally paid off his debts. Not only did he reappear on the television screen, but in 1981 he participated in his first film, The Enforcer.

At this time, it was Wu Mengda's dormant period, and because of the taint, he was very unpopular in TVB.

Think about it, who would like a gambler who has borrowed all the money he can borrow?

Moreover, people who borrow money usually don't pay it back, especially if it drags on for a long time, hehe.

Xue He took Zhang Yaoyang's information, "Okay, it's easiest for a man to be a model, if you want to find this kind of person, you really have to give them a training class." ”

"Well, about the training class, you go and ask Uncle Lin and Brother Jing, Brother Jing talks a lot and loves to be a teacher, you can let him find a few people, start classes in our company at night, and take classes for three hours a day. I will not treat him badly. In short, our training class can't be worse than TVB. Zhang Xuan said while thinking.

Xue He nodded and said, "Brother Xuan, don't worry, it's not difficult." ”

After Xue He left, Zhang Xuan looked at the list happily and almost laughed out loud, Ye Yuqing, Qiu Yueqing, Wu Xuewen, Chen Yingzhi, Guan Xiumei, Zhong Shuhui, Weng Hong, willing to come to the company, Ye Zilin, Qiu Shuzhen, Zhang Min, if you are interested, Xue He promises to get it done within three days.

Wow Ka Ka, if this is a C-grade film, who can make a labor-management film?

I don't know if these girls are willing to make C-grade movies?

There are about 200 large cinemas in Hong Kong, accounting for half of the share, and 800 small ones, also accounting for half of the share.

These 800 belong to 170 small entertainment companies, most of the bosses of these small entertainment companies are in the nature of playing tickets, and in the hands of many people, there are only one or two small broken movie theaters, strictly speaking, they are not the bosses of the entertainment industry, that is, they want to get a little fame and find opportunities to uncover the rules of female stars.

Xue He helped Zhang Xuan contact a more high-end hotel in Yuen Long and chartered the entire banquet hall.

Three or four hundred people from 170 small entertainment companies came, but fortunately they booked a banquet hall on the first floor.

Everyone was very strange, I don't know what Zhang Xuan is looking for them for?

Fortunately, it was Zhang Xuan who proposed to eat, and the meal was still attractive, so those who could come basically came.

Zhang Xuan stood up with a smile and a glass of red wine, "Friends, our Chinese entertainment company is a small company, but small companies also want to make movies and develop, the success of "Dark War" is inseparable from the help of your bosses, I am here first to respect, thank you." ”

Everyone agreed, it turned out to be a thank-you banquet? Boss Zhang is really too polite, at such a young age, so good at life, no wonder the development is so good.

Zhang Xuan toasted with everyone and continued: "Before the banquet starts, I have a few words to say, although I have not been in the entertainment industry for a long time, I feel bitter. Everyone should have watched "Dark War", right? Although it is a low-budget movie, everyone can say in good conscience, what is the quality of "Dark War"? Why did the box office rush so hard a few days ago, and it couldn't rush up immediately? ”

Everyone was silent, it turned out that Zhang Xuan was going to talk about this? What can you do about this kind of thing?

Before the banquet started, in fact, everyone had already discovered that there were not a few larger entertainment companies today, and they were basically movie theater owners and small entertainment company owners.

"I know, everyone is like me, since they have entered this circle, at least they all want to develop, and no one wants to accompany the prince to study in vain, right? Everyone, every company, wants a level playing field! Why do large companies run out small companies so that they have no chance of getting ahead? Zhang Xuan said bitterly.

The boss of an entertainment company smiled and said, "Boss Zhang, everyone knows what you said, isn't there no way?" What industry is not like this? When you become bigger, you will also think about monopoly. ”

Zhang Xuan waved his hand, "This is not right, other industries can do this, but the film industry should not be like this, because film is art, and whether it can succeed depends on the audience's recognition!" Instead of forcibly removing it from the shelves, or putting it in the midday segment and midnight show. This is not the right way. ”

"It's easy to say, so what's the solution? Big companies, they have become bigger, screenwriter resources, actor resources, and theater resources are all in their hands, can't we just follow behind to pick up other people's leftovers? It's still the entertainment company that just spoke, "Who has the big movie theater now, who has the final say." Market quotas have long been allocated. ”

Zhang Xuan smiled: "No, there are so many of us, don't we also master half of the theater chain?" ”

"The key is that we are all loose, and how can the quality of the low-budget movies we make compare with others? We don't have that many celebrities. "Another entertainment company owner.

"I'm looking for you today, that's to talk about this problem, everyone give me two minutes, listen to it, and start eating immediately." Zhang Xuan said with a smile.

Because Zhang Xuan saw that there were already many bosses who were impatient to listen.

Everyone laughed, some of them had already drunk in private, and the bosses who had chatted stopped to look at Zhang Xuan.

"I thought, are we going to set up a joint cinema chain? Whether they want to participate in those big theaters or not, we don't care about it for now, we will get the Hong Kong Film Association up first! Only unity can have strength! In the future, whenever a new film comes out, we will join forces with the cinema chain to launch the file in a unified manner, divide it into several levels according to the schedule, and then configure different publicity and films for it according to the different schedules. Abolish the cinema package system. In the future, everyone can shoot whatever film they want, unite with the theater chain, and screen it in a unified manner! Zhang Xuan said loudly.

Everyone was in an uproar, in fact, these things are easy to understand, and many people have thought about it before, but everyone is still shocked!

Abolish the cinema package system?

The cinema charter system means that if a production company wants to take a movie to a certain cinema for release, it must decide to pay a monthly charter fee according to the seats, equipment, and expenses of the cinema, regardless of the daily income of the cinema.

There is also film scheduling, and there is no system, and each company must give priority to its own company's film screening, which also causes inconvenience to audiences who want to watch movies.

This kind of system has greatly discouraged small entertainment companies, and the producers are not confident in their films, so they dare not make them.

"Boss Zhang, the key is that we don't have so many sources? Hong Kong films mainly rely on Golden Harvest, New Arts City and Shaw Brothers Pictures to provide film sources, we have united, wait for them not to show us a film, who do we go to? The owner of an entertainment company asked with a smile.

The crowd laughed.

Laugh at you sisters!

Zhang Xuan said aloud with an indifferent face: "This question is very good!" I provide it, you provide it yourself, and we all provide it for each other! If they are willing to join our United Cinema Line, they will join, they will join, they are not willing to join, and we don't have to be afraid, I promise that Chinese Entertainment Company will make more than 4 movies every month, and everyone will not have to worry about no movie screenings in the future! ”

Burst!

Everyone secretly wondered: Boss Zhang is smart, wow, are we fools? All to show your movies? Who is so stupid to make you a wedding dress?

"Hehe, you may think, isn't this the fulfillment of our Chinese entertainment company? And, who can guarantee that every one of my movies will be a hit, can they? Not only our company, the strength of a company is definitely not enough to support half of the market, and you, as long as you are interested in making movies, no matter how small the company, you can give it a try, I Zhang Xuan will provide free technical support! I have a post-production center, an animation company, and a lot of companies here, and they also ask us if we borrowed the crew, right? Zhang Xuan said with a smile.

Everyone began to talk about it, and many entertainment company owners were tempted.

Those who enter this circle must be more or less interested in making movies, who doesn't want to play two? The question is, an entertainment company that doesn't have any foundation will make movies when it comes up? Do you think it's you Zhang Xuan?

"Boss Zhang, big companies have their own screenwriting team, director team, and actor team, what do we have?" Someone asked.

"That's a good question, we have it too! It's just that our strength is weak, I suggest that we unite the resource sharing of the cinema chain, all the entertainment companies that are here today, and everyone will share the resources of directors and actors in the future, and you can borrow resources from other companies. They have big productions, we have small productions, what movie is the hottest? Gangster movies and glamorous films, let's do it for a while, those big companies will naturally not be able to stand up, and will be forced to join our joint cinema chain, the purpose of my meeting today is not to split the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but to make the rules more fair, all entertainment companies are more united, and if you want to make results, you rely on real kung fu, not to suppress backward companies! Zhang Xuan's words were loud.

A group of entertainment company bosses nodded one after another, most of them thought that Zhang Xuan was right, and a small number of people were hesitant.

"Then, Boss Zhang, if you solve the problem of the director and actors, what about the script? There are only about a dozen people in our company, and although we want to make movies, who knows if we can do it? You can't just hire a screenwriter to make a movie, right? Every film company has its own screenwriting team, and the screenwriter looks inconspicuous, but it is actually the first and most important step! An entertainment company owner raised his hand.

Zhang Xuan nodded and said, "This question is very good, I support you!" Chinese Entertainment Company supports everyone! Until everyone has their own team of screenwriters! In the future, the screenwriter resources of various companies can also be shared, and the competent department of the United Cinema Line is the Hong Kong Film Association, which is like a big supermarket, resource sharing and information sharing! ”

Burst!

Do you support everyone?

There are 170 companies here, do you support them?

Everyone laughed and shook their heads.

Zhang Xuan said: "Don't you believe it? Let's have dinner first, and then everyone please move to the conference room of my Chinese entertainment company to have a look, I have specially prepared a large exhibition hall, first release 200 scripts, I will divide it into two large blocks according to the degree of refinement, three grades! Underworld films: 100,000, 200,000, 300,000, three grades of scripts. Xiangyan film: 50,000, 100,000, 200,000, three grades, how about it, can the screenwriting problem be solved? Moreover, I can come up with a script in two days, and I will continue to provide it to you in the future! ”

Burst!

Is that okay too?

You took out 200 scripts at once?

Everyone feels like they are listening to mythological stories, but Zhang Xuan's fame as a gold medal screenwriter is already very big, and if others say such things, everyone may not believe it. But when Zhang Xuan of the Chinese entertainment company said this kind of thing, everyone will be suspicious.

"I'm calling everyone today, not to force everyone to express their position, if you want to join, you can join, and you don't want to join now, let's do it secretly first! Companies that can film, companies that are interested in filming, can try the water temperature! Increase the number of films in our joint cinema chain, and in a month, we will have another meeting. What do you think? Zhang Xuan suggested.

Everyone nodded one after another, and they all thought that Zhang Xuan's idea was very good, what are you afraid of trying first? If you don't give it a try, will you be pressed by others for the rest of your life?

In fact, Zhang Xuan has no new tricks, what he said is the universal law of later generations, many of the theater bosses of later generations no longer open their own entertainment companies, production companies and theaters are very clearly divided, originally this circle is won by quality.

Stars with box office appeal can let the distributor guarantee the release, but they also have to come up with quality, otherwise, with this time, there will be no next time.

Zhang Xuan poured a full glass of wine and said with a smile: "This is just a small personal suggestion, if everyone thinks it is feasible, drink this glass." If it's not feasible, just drink half a cup, everyone has their own ideas, don't force it, and also, the snake has no head and doesn't go, next month today, let's elect the president of the Hong Kong Film Association! We are a non-governmental organization, if the Hong Kong film industry is a Jianghu, everyone is a Jianghu person, and Jianghu people must have the rules of Jianghu. ”

Burst!

Everyone thinks that Zhang Xuan is about to catch up with the director of the Hong Kong Cultural Administration.

Zhang Xuan drank a glass of wine.

The vast majority of people have drunk a full glass of wine, okay, when the time comes, I don't dare to try, I don't dare to try, I will inevitably lose face, not to mention, many small theater owners, there is nothing to be afraid of, they are all in the nature of playing tickets, if you don't want to play, the license of the movie theater is very popular, and you can shoot whenever you want.

"In my opinion, let Boss Zhang get this temporary Hong Kong Film Association up first, right? I think we can really give it a try, cancel the theater package, and we small entertainment companies can try to make movies on our own. As for not offending Jiahe and Shaw Brothers, we have half of the resources, so don't be afraid of them. If it's really feasible, let's reduce their number of films, and when the time comes, they will kneel. "A boss with five big and three thick voices.

This man's words were not rough, which caused everyone to applaud.

Qunhao is really arrogant, and they have shouted that Zhang Xuan will get the Hong Kong Film Association up first, and put it in the Chinese Entertainment Company, and Zhang Xuan's proposal just now has been implemented a few points.

Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded, "Since everyone thinks so highly of me Zhang Xuan, I am naturally obliged, but first say okay, I will temporarily take on the role of a secretary, and the president needs to be held by a respected bigwig, and when the time comes, everyone will jointly nominate me." The bottom package system has been canceled and a joint cinema chain has been established, so there is no need to control whether the relationship between the film company and the cinema chain is good or bad. Everything is decided by the market, every movie on the shelves can get at least 5 opportunities to shoot in each cinema in various time periods, and when the time comes, the next stage of the schedule will be set according to the box office, which is the most fair and reasonable, the quality of your shooting is not good, the box office is not good, no one can complain, because the chances of each film are equal, on the contrary, this can also give good films more opportunities. ”

Everyone saw that Zhang Xuan had already thought so carefully, and they all saw the sun as if they had seen the sun through the clouds.

Everyone is only worried about many companies, will it be a plate of scattered sand?

Also, Zhang Xuan's script, is it reliable?

Although everyone knows Zhang Xuan's ability, who can make 200 scripts at one time?
