The day after the three film companies reached an agreement to acquire Shaw Brothers Cinemas, a press conference was held at the Four Seasons Hotel, and no less than 50 media rushed to the press conference without the three companies saying hello.

This shocking change in the film industry in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia finally came to an end after a series of twists and turns, and the result was also greatly beyond everyone's expectations, it was actually three joint shares, and LL Film Company unexpectedly occupied an absolute controlling stake.

Everyone was surprised by this result, wondering why Debao Film Company was defeated, and the parties concerned did not talk about it, so the media had to focus on the newly established LL-Shaw Brothers Cinema Distribution Company, especially LL Film Company, which occupies a 55% controlling stake in the new company.

The information of LL Film Company has been turned out by everyone again, it has only been established for one year, and there are only three movies produced, but each of them is the top ten of the annual box office list, and it has been crowned the second honor of New Art City by many people.

In the past, the films of LL Film Company were also distributed by Shaw Brothers Cinemas, but now a snake swallows an elephant and directly becomes the owner of the theater, and the dramatic turn also makes everyone talk about it, and Chen Lang, who is the big boss behind LL Film Company, was also mentioned again, causing a burst of sighs.

Of course, the focus is on how far LL Film Company can go after having its own distribution theater, and whether it can develop into another new art city has become the focus of heated discussions.

Although Shaw Brothers Film Company still occupies 20% of the theater shares, Shaw Brothers Film Company is basically close to closing its doors and has been directly ignored by everyone, and only a few media are still lamenting the end of a generation of film dynasties.

As for Debao Film Company, because it only has a controlling stake of 25 percent, it has not attracted much attention from the media.

The hottest ones now are "LL-Shaw Cinemas Distribution Company", "LL Film Company" and "Chen Lang".

After the acquisition, Chen Lang did not immediately return to campus, but began to deal with the newly established cinema company and the recruitment of Shaw Brothers film company talent.

The new cinema distribution company has just been established, and LL Film Company does not have a suitable person to serve as the general manager of the company, so it can only recruit professional managers while still appointing the manager of the original Shaw Brothers Film Company, in fact, Chen Lang knew in the novels he read in his previous life that Cen Jianxun was the president of the former Debao Cinema Line, and he was good at managing the cinema company, but Cen Jianxun is now a Debao person, so it is a little inappropriate for him to serve as the general manager of the new company.

At the same time, Xue Tianlan is still busy digging people, and now the various film talents of Shaw Brothers Film Company have become Tang Seng meat in the eyes of countless industry insiders, and now the Hong Kong film market is so hot, there are several film companies established every day, so many film companies, no matter what the scale, want to get a piece of the pie.

Especially the other two overlords in the film industry, Golden Harvest and New Art City, are naturally very active in the face of carving up old opponents and weakening new opponents, and the speed of starting is not slow at all for LL Film Company.

The reality is also very unfavorable to LL Film Company, first of all, because many of Shaw Brothers' movie stars are actually from TVB's artist training class or Hong Kong sister election, and their brokerage contracts are directly signed in the wireless agency department.

These people's contracts are difficult to start, unless they pay high liquidated damages, but only those superstars are worth paying liquidated damages, otherwise no one wants to be the wronged leader, but the current Shaw Brothers Film Company has basically lost money because of the movies it has shot in recent years, and there are almost no superstars with strong box office appeal.

There are also artists who have signed a contract with Shaw Brothers Film Company in the film department and are still willing to stick to Shaw Brothers, as long as Shaw Brothers Film Company does not close, they will not leave, such as Dillon, the leader of Shaw Brothers Film in the 70s, who attaches great importance to righteousness, and refuses to leave Shaw Brothers in the face of the temptation of the three overlord film companies.

At the same time, there are also many movie stars who chose to retire at this time, most of them were the leading stars of the Shaw Brothers in the 70s, and they have rarely been active since entering the 80s, so no one cares.

Of course, people like Dillon are a minority after all, and there are a lot of film talents left, not only artists, but also many behind-the-scenes personnel, most of whom have chosen to leave, and these people have been divided between the three major film companies and other independent film companies.

Among them, Golden Harvest and New Art City have the greatest harvest, after all, the fame and heritage of the three old overlords far exceed those of other companies, and the recruitment is almost effortless, and even many people recommend themselves, such as Fa Ge, who signed directly under the door of New Art City, and LL Film Company, the new third largest film company, is much worse than it, but this harvest still makes Chen Lang ecstatic.

Chen Lang asked for the list of all the new recruits to the company this time, and carefully observed them one by one, looking for the names that he had an impression, and he really found a lot.

In addition to Wang Jing, who came to LL Film Company when his contract expired, and his girlfriend Zhong Chuhong, this list also includes Deborah (Nicholas Tse's mother), Chen Baixiang, Er Dongsheng, Jiang David, Cheng Gang (Cheng Xiaodong's father), Cheng Xiaodong, Gui Zhihong, Mou Dunfu, Luo Wei, Liu Jialiang, Liu Weiqiang, Du Kefeng and Zhang Shuping.

Seeing these names, Chen Lang is indeed very excited, there are many famous characters in these names, Liu Zhenwei and Du Kefeng are Academy Award-level photographers, Zhang Shuping is also an Academy Award-level costume designer and art director, Er Dongsheng is the best director of the Academy Awards, Cheng Gang, Gui Zhihong, Mou Dunfu, Luo Wei are also cult talents in genre films, and Cheng Xiaodong and Liu Jialiang are famous directors and martial arts instructors.

Even if some are not very famous, they still have their own shining points, which is tantamount to a big supplement for LL Film Company, which is in urgent need of various film talents.

Of course, among these people, except for Jiang David, Chen Baixiang, Cheng Gang, and Liu Jialiang, who have become famous, the others are almost still newcomers, without their own representative works, and they have not even found their own life positioning, which is one of the reasons why LL Film Company can recruit them.

Chen Lang met with these new bigwigs at the first time, "I welcome you very much to join, with all outstanding film talents, I am full of hope for the future of LL Film Company." ”

In the face of Chen Lang's enthusiasm, everyone here is secretly happy, Chen Lang in front of him is not only a superstar, but also the boss of many companies, and being able to treat him so kindly makes everyone feel at ease.

"Soon, the company will sign a new contract with you, but your contract is not signed at LL Film Company, but signed with the newly established company LL Entertainment Agency, as for the treatment, it will definitely satisfy you, if you are not satisfied, you can directly talk to me or Chen Shufen Sister Chen, we will try our best to satisfy." Chen Lang said.

Originally, there was a brokerage department under LL Film Company, and Chen Lang's star artists were all signed in this department, but now the company has added a lot of artists and behind-the-scenes personnel, in addition to the people Chen Lang knows well, there are many people that Chen Lang has not heard of, but at the same time came from Shaw Brothers, so Chen Lang directly advanced his agency.

The LL entertainment agency will sign all the artists and behind-the-scenes personnel of the company, and will specialize in the economic contracts of these personnel, and also prepare for attracting more talents to join in the future.

"After joining a new agency, we will not limit your work, which means that you can go out and take jobs if you have the opportunity, but there is a premise here, that is, it must not affect the company's filming, and if the company sees the project, the company will also participate in the investment."

As soon as Chen Lang's words fell, everyone was stunned, because the current Hong Kong film industry system is very non-standardized, and well-known actors and directors who are important film resources are almost not in circulation, and they are generally restricted to live in, and a certain film company is rarely allowed to take on outside work, so Chen Lang's words surprised everyone.

Of course, Chen Lang knows that this is not in line with the current practice of Hong Kong film companies, and it may also bring competitive pressure to his company's films, but Chen Lang knows that the company will only sign more people in the future, and if he wants to cultivate more newcomers, his own company is likely to be too busy.

As long as these people are grasped in their hands, even if they go out to pick up work, the company can still make a profit, and they can also pack some people into the crew through negotiation, go out to experience, and let other companies cultivate talents for themselves, which is to learn from the famous CAA brokerage company in later generations.

Moreover, after the company's various film talents gathered, and multiple crews can be opened at the same time, Chen Lang is also ready to rent out the crew, because there are too many film companies in Hong Kong now, but many of them are bag companies, and they simply have the ability to form a complete crew in a short time.

Chen Lang also saw this, and felt that he could outsource the entire crew, of course, the actor must use his own company, as long as the other party pays, the company can help him write the script, form the crew, complete the shooting and post-production, and even arrange distribution and publicity for them, in one step, they only need to pay, and then wait for the box office to come out, which is absolutely time-saving and labor-saving.

Of course, whether they can realize their expectations remains to be practiced.

"Now that the company has become the majority shareholder of LL-Shaw Cinemas Distribution Company, LL Film Company must increase the number of its own productions, there are many excellent directors and screenwriters here, if there are good ideas or scripts, they can put forward them, as long as they are reviewed by the company, they can set up the project, and then apply for funds from the company to form a crew to shoot, of course, all the crew and actors have to use their own company's people." Chen Lang said.
