Chapter Eighty-Four: Be Prepared for Danger in Times of Peace

Before the 80s in Hong Kong, in addition to entering Hollywood, Golden Harvest would occasionally engage in some big productions, and the production cost of mainstream film companies in the film industry was only more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars at most, but after entering the 80s, more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars became the mainstream of film production costs.

The more prosperous the film market is, the more competitive it will be, and because of the commercial nature of the film, the future film trend will change to big productions.

Although the film market is becoming more and more prosperous and the box office is increasing day by day, Hong Kong is only a regional city after all, and there will always be limits.

At that time, you can only rely on the overseas box office to recover the cost, but as I said before, what is in your own hands is the most secure; Moreover, Hong Kong films are becoming more and more prosperous, and other people are not blind, if overseas distributors wake up one day, they have the capital to directly come to Hong Kong to participate in the investment and production of films, and leave us alone.

To put the situation worse, the more prosperous the film market, the more people will participate; When the forest is bigger, the types of birds will also increase, and then the market will be in a mess, booming and declining, there will be more bad movies, the audience's viewing ** will decline, there will be more money-losing movies, and there will be fewer and fewer people making movies, and the entire market will return to the situation when the Golden Princess was first founded - the lack of film sources will also have a huge impact on the theater chain.

The more he listened, the more shocked he became, not because of the possibilities of the future described by Chan, but by the fact that Hong Kong cinema is now in its prime, the latter will focus on the uncertain distant future.

Thinking of the fact that there are no outstanding people among the descendants of the Lei family, and he is old, and the burden of the family's future is not entrusted, he can't help but feel a little gloomy......

Of course, Chen Yongren worked so hard not for Lei Jiankun to think about anything, but since he himself was not rich enough and had no hope, in order to stop being so troublesome in the future, he thought that the future interests would be kept in the hands of the latter for the time being, and it would be more convenient to take them back in the future, saving time and effort.

Since Chen Yongren decided to change Chinese films, he has formulated a set of future plans for himself, and he is constantly improving; Wang Jing later believed that the increase in Hong Kong cinemas in 1988 was the beginning of the golden age of Hong Kong films, but Chen Yongren's view was completely opposite, and before 1988 was the heyday of Hong Kong films.

Although the high-grossing movies in the future statistics are all after 1988, they are all caused by the increase in ticket prices.

At this time, Hong Kong's movie ticket prices are increasing every year, the movie ticket price in 1988 was 23 yuan, more than double the 10 yuan in 1981, and it was already 30 yuan in the mid-90s, the movie ticket price at the end of the 90s was 40 yuan, and the average price at the beginning of the 21st century was 50 yuan, and it tended to stabilize after 2010, but because of the relationship between 3D technology and IMAX technology, the ticket price ranged from 60 yuan to 120 yuan.

If you talk about the highest-grossing movie in Hong Kong, it will always be the first "Bald Detective" of "Best Partner", with about 2.86 million moviegoers in Hong Kong, although the later "Titanic" equaled this record, but the latter was screened for half a year that year.

Hong Kong movies are among the top 20 grossing movies in Hong Kong, with more than 2 million moviegoers, and the total population of Hong Kong at this time is only more than 5 million, which truly explains what the "golden age" is.

Among them, more than half of the films were produced before 1988, especially the first three films of the "Best Partner" series, the "Five Lucky Stars" series, and the first two films of the "Police Story" series are the most typical.

Twenty years later, the rise of Korean cinema has shocked the world film industry, including commercial blockbusters that have swept the domestic and foreign box office, as well as masterpieces that have won world-famous awards, and some people say that the golden age of Korean cinema has arrived; South Korea has a population of 50 million, and the highest box office in future film history is the historical war masterpiece "The Battle of Mingliang" starring Choi Min-ji, with 17.6 million moviegoers, and the rate is still not as good as Hong Kong at this time.

Before the mainland market was not opened, the proportion of the world's major film market countries was still concentrated in Asia, except for North America, Europe has the United Kingdom, France and Germany, Australia is its own one, and other Japan, South Korea, India, and the Greater China region including Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Southeast Asian countries, Asia accounts for half, and at this time, except for Japan and Russia, the rest of the Asian market is the backyard of Hong Kong films, even in Japan, it also occupies a large market.

A large part of future Korean films will have the shadow of Hong Kong films, which can be seen the influence of Hong Kong films on South Korea.

Every country or nation has its own self-esteem, and when Hong Kong films are at their peak, others may coexist and develop in unison, but once there is a slight difference, the national character of others will awaken, so by the end of the 20th century, everything began to change......

Japanese films began to recover after a 30-year trough that began to experience in the 60s, and at the same time, Korean films and Indian films also began to go global.

Chen Yongren was walking on the street, although Lei Jiankun did not say anything clearly, but he could see that the latter had taken his words to heart, and how to operate it was no longer something he could care about now, he just wanted to accumulate capital and wait until the future to receive the results of his layout.

However, after doing so much for Lei Jiankun, Chen Yongren certainly won't get nothing, he has already won the same treatment as Xinyicheng for Legendary Pictures in Lei Jiankun's hands, and the box office of the production is divided into five or five sides with the Golden Princess Cinema.

"Die Hard" will be officially released in four months, this movie Legend invested 7 million, Yongjia invested 2 million, Chen Yongren invested 3 million in his personal name, Chen Xunqi invested 1 million, and the rest of the miscellaneous were sponsored; just used the remaining funds on hand to shoot "The True Color of Heroes" with Wu Yulin.

"Stop...... Don't run ......".

With a loud shout, Chen Yongren came back to his senses, but saw a person running in his direction on the opposite side, and before he could see what he looked like, he passed over to his side while he was stunned.

When he turned around, he saw that the person was chasing a person just now, and the person who was being chased looked back twice, one was the person chasing him, and the other was very strange, I don't know if it was an illusion, Chen Yongren felt that the glance was looking at him, and the strangest thing was that the person chasing him also looked back at him, and he looked anxious.

Chen Yongren felt inexplicable, shook his head and put aside his distracting thoughts, and looked up to see that the company was close in front of him......
