When Chen Lang returned home, his family was already asleep.

After a simple wash, Chen Lang lay on the bed, thinking about writing a movie script.

The movies that Chen Lang remembers in his mind are undoubtedly very classic or box office hits, and now the direction of the script submission has been determined, that is, Shaw Brothers Film Company.

Chen Lang doesn't have much friendship with Xu's Film Company, even if he doesn't give it to Xu's Film Company, I believe Xu Guanjie won't say anything.

But when it was given to Shaw Brothers Film Company, Chen Lang felt that it was a very important layout.

Chen Lang wants to enter the film industry, so what is the most important thing in the film industry? What is the most profitable?

The answer is definitely theatrical.

Maybe the theater chain will not get rich overnight with a popular movie like a film production company, and the income of the theater chain is relatively stable.

As long as there are people in Hong Kong who make movies, the cinema chain can make money without worrying about risks.

It will not be like many film companies, one or several films will go out of business directly after losing money, so the theater chain is definitely the most profitable and stable.

And the cinema chain also holds the lifeblood of many film companies and filmmakers, after all, the movie you make must be released at least to make money, if you don't even have the opportunity to be released, then everything is in vain.

Holding the cinema chain is definitely a deadly weapon, with the cinema chain, you will have a status in the Hong Kong film industry and the right to speak.

But now that there are four cinemas in Hong Kong, it is obviously inappropriate to add more cinemas.

Later generations proved that Hong Kong has four cinema chains to the point of saturation.

However, Hong Kong movies are becoming more and more popular, and under the stimulation of the box office in Southeast Asia, a lot of capital has been invested, and the number of large-scale cinemas in Hong Kong will reach seven at most in the future.

As a result, the total box office of Hong Kong films has not increased much, while the revenues of film companies have decreased considerably.

Because of the increase in movie theaters, the number of movies that can be released has naturally increased, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The good thing is that there are more movies, everyone has more choices, and the Hong Kong film market seems to be more and more prosperous, but at the same time, it is accompanied by more and more shoddy productions, and movies that follow the trend have been given the opportunity to be released.

This not only diverted the audience of various films, but also caused the box office of many movies to fail to meet expectations, so that many people who are really serious about making movies cannot be rewarded and cannot continue their film creation.

At the same time, it also gives those capitals who are just trying to make money an opportunity to use shoddy production to earn the audience's money, and at the same time, it also consumes the inherent lack of vitality of Hong Kong films.

Therefore, it is not advisable to increase the number of cinema chains, and with the development of Hong Kong's economy, in Hong Kong, where every inch of land is valuable, the future land price will become more and more expensive, and it will cost a lot of money just to create a cinema chain.

At the same time, it also has to connect the movie release for the theater chain, as well as various management expenses, and at the same time has to face the squeeze of the old theater chain, so the acquisition of the theater chain is the right choice.

So which cinema chain can be acquired?

Because of the new art city, the Golden Princess Cinema Line is now the time to become popular, and Lei Juekun will definitely not sell the Golden Princess who makes money every day.

Although Jiahe was temporarily suppressed by the Golden Princess Cinema, his own heritage is still there, and the cinema will naturally not be sold.

As for the other Luen Mei Cinema Line, it has considerable distribution capacity in Southeast Asia, and it is difficult to acquire it.

Therefore, the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, which is coming to an end, is the best choice.

However, due to the incompetence of Shaw Brothers Film Company, Shaw Brothers Cinemas is about to be sold to the famous brand Pan Dickson in 1985, and the sale price will definitely not be less than 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

Chen Lang should be able to earn 100 million Hong Kong dollars by then, but compared with Pan Disheng, who has deep pockets, Chen Lang is still very weak.

At the same time, they are both upper-class figures, maybe Pan Disheng and Shao Tycoon still have a personal relationship, in this case, why did Shao Tycoon sell the theater chain to Chen Lang?

Chen Lang needs time to earn more money, and at the same time, he needs to strengthen his ties with Shao Daheng and Shaw Brothers Film Company.

If Shaw Brothers can make a profit with Chen Lang's script, maybe they can extend the life of Shaw Brothers movies by a few years, and at the same time delay the sale of Shaw Brothers theaters, then Chen Lang can face the famous brand king Pan Disheng more calmly.

The script is going to be handed over to Shaw Brothers, but what kind of script is written?

Chen Lang has basically watched many classic movies in Hong Kong in the eighties and nineties, and Chen Lang has also seen many American blockbusters.

In contrast, the universal values in American films are more popular, while Hong Kong films undoubtedly carry the unique Confucian cultural connotations of China, which is almost impossible to promote globally.

It's hard for Hong Kong movies to get out, but it's easy for American blockbusters to get in and then can't get rid of them.

Since the late 80s, Taiwan began to limit the number of Hong Kong films imported, and Southeast Asian countries also began to limit the number of Hong Kong films to protect their film industry, but at the same time, Taiwan and Southeast Asian countries have stepped up their efforts to import American blockbusters.

Hong Kong films lost Taiwan, an important box office, and the restrictions of Southeast Asian countries, and finally were hit by well-made American blockbusters, and they never turned over.

Until Chen Lang's rebirth, Hong Kong movies were still bleak, and they could only survive on tertiary films and fried cold rice.

Hong Kong classic movies also need to be written, especially when writing scripts at the beginning, but in the later stage, if you want to go out of Asia and go to North America, then European and American scripts must occupy an absolute dominance.

Reborn, Chen Lang wants to say that it is impossible to say that there is no regret about the decline of Hong Kong films that were once brilliant and known as Oriental Hollywood.

But if you want Hong Kong films not to repeat the mistakes of the past, the difficulty is comparable to ascending to the sky, which is definitely not something that Chen Lang can do alone.

But since you have been reborn again, you have to try hard, otherwise, you will not be willing to die.

But how to save Hong Kong movies?

This problem seems to be a bit too big, and Chen Lang doesn't know how to do it, especially this is a problem for the entire Hong Kong film industry, and it is impossible to solve it by relying on him as an otaku in his previous life.

Now it can only be one step at a time, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, perhaps the practice in many Hong Kong entertainment novels I have read in my previous life is worth trying.

Subsequently, Chen Lang began to think about the many Hong Kong entertainment novels he had read in his previous life, how the protagonists saved Hong Kong movies, thinking about it, and finally fell asleep in a daze.

The quality of "Best Partner 2 Miracles" is not doubtful, and on the first day of the film's release, it also handed over a box office result of 1.23 million Hong Kong dollars on the first day of its release.

This achievement broke the box office record for the opening day of a Hong Kong film, and it seems that because of the huge success of the first part of the series, fans are also full of expectations for the second part of the series, and the enthusiasm of fans has set a box office record.

In the following week, "Best Partner" swept the whole of Hong Kong enthusiastically, and the box office of 8.54 million was achieved within a week of release, attracting major media reports.

In the other two offices, it was completely bleak.

The General Manager's Office of Golden Harvest Film Company.

Zou Wenhuai looked at the newspaper in his hand and frowned.

Since the release of "Funny Times" in 1981, almost every work has been a box office hit, and the squeezed Golden Harvest is a little out of breath.

Now the just-released "Best Partner 2 Shows Magical Powers" has achieved a box office of more than 8 million in just the first week, you must know that the current box office sales standard is about 10 million, and this first week is more than 8 million, it seems that this is another 20 million-level work.

What's more serious is that this movie attracted many fans to the Golden Princess Cinema, and Golden Harvest's movies were naturally affected, and the box office dropped significantly.

"Ah Chang, is Sanmao's film production completed?" Zou Wenhuai really has no choice but to hope for the two generals under him, Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan.

Now Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan are the most famous martial arts stars in Hong Kong, and Sammo Hung is still the boss of the Hung family's class, and he also became popular with his younger brothers Yuan Biao and Jackie Chan.

Sammo Hung , Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao formed a dream duo and produced movies that were box office hits.

Although Jackie Chan is still filming in the Hong family class, he has become a representative of Hong Kong martial arts action stars with "Drunken Boxing", "Serpentine Trickster", "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" and Golden Harvest.

"Sanmao's "Clever Tricks and Five Lucky Stars" has been completed, and the final editing and dubbing is being done."

He Guanchang knew that his old friend was in a bad mood, but he couldn't do anything, the performance of Xinyicheng was too good, and "Best Partner 2" seemed unstoppable.

"Let Sanmao complete the post-production and release as soon as possible, if this continues, our Golden Harvest position will not be guaranteed." Zou Wen said with a secret hatred.

At the same time, the chairman of TVB's board of directors, Shao Daheng, is also frowning.

On the table were today's newspapers, as well as the box office of Shaw Brothers' films that had already been released.

What makes Shao Daheng's face ugly is that the final box office of these movies is not even 8 million, or even 5 million.

Fang Yihua on the side looked at the frowning Shao Tycoon and said, "Sixth brother, if you want me to say that the current wireless development is so fast, the profits are increasing exponentially every year, on the other hand, the movie not only does not make money, but has been losing money."

With the rapid development of Hong Kong's economy, TV is becoming more and more popular, and our wireless will only develop faster and faster, which is our future. ”

Shao Daheng was both relieved and helpless when he heard this, and he was silent for a long time.

The outside world is full of excitement because of "Best Partner 2 Shows Magical Powers", and Chen Lang is also determined to enter the film industry to write scripts.

But now Chen Lang doesn't know how to write the script, so he has to buy some books and come back to learn it temporarily.

Chen Lang remembers that next year, Hong Kong will establish the first university dedicated to cultivating film and television performing arts talents, the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.

Chen Lang plans to apply for this university next year, specializing in studying film.
