Chen Xunqi emphasized: "Especially in Taiwan, it has caused a huge repercussion, and it has won a box office of nearly NT$60 million. Word-of-mouth and box office are very good. The momentum of 'Pretty Girl', which is currently being released, is also good, and it has received more than 14 million box office in 18 days of release. It is not a problem to break through the box office of 15 million in two or three days after its release. ”

Lin Zhenying continued: "According to my plan with Xun Qi, after this film is drawn, I will co-screen 'Wong Fei Hung's Top Gun' with Shao's." As for the "Street King of Fighters: Fury Fire Dragon", it will be screened at the time of the Spring Festival, and the "Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" can only wait until after the Spring Festival to see the situation before arranging the schedule, after all, it is still being filmed. ”

"In addition, our company has also invested in several films made by independent producers, which are still being filmed."

Chen Xunqi added: "With our own shooting, our company has shot a total of 20 films in just over a year since its opening, and most of them have received good box office. However, the total profit amount of last year is still being counted by the Finance Department. ”

Gu Weiqi said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad." But it's 1982 now, and we should also plan a new film. What are your thoughts? ”

"Hehe, we're not waiting for you. Everyone knows that any film made by the script you take out is a sure thing. Speaking of the script, I remembered that Jiahe yesterday called the box office share of the 'Plan A' you wrote for their company, which seems to be more than 18 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

"Oh, more than 18 million, it seems that Jiahe didn't do anything at the box office this time."

"That's not necessarily, you must know that this film has received more than 28 million box office in Xiangjiang alone, and it has also received a high box office of more than 12 billion in Yueben, directly catching up with our 'super bodyguard' released in Yueben. Especially the starring Cheng Throat, Yuan Biao and Hong Jinbao became popular in Yueben. ”

Chen Xunqi said: "Especially in Taiwan and Nanyang, Singapore and Hanbang and other regions, it has been sold one after another. According to the 15% total box office share you said, more than 18 million is less. I said Archie, in the future, we should keep such an excellent script for us to shoot ourselves. Otherwise, they will fatten Jiahe and make their own people popular. Not only is it not good for our company, but there is a strong competitor. ”

"That's right, don't worry, I will never write scripts for other people easily in the future. In addition, for the company's development plan this year, I think so, the film is expected to shoot about 20-30 films, in addition to continuing to invest in several blockbusters to continue to impact the European and American markets, will continue to develop new film genres. In addition, it will increase investment in theaters. ”

Lin Zhenying agreed: "It is indeed very necessary to increase investment in theaters. After all, with the increase of talents, our company is now growing more and more. There will be more and more films shot in the future. In fact, to put it bluntly, the competition in the current film industry in Xiangjiang is, in the final analysis, the competition of theaters. Look at those independent production companies that don't have their own theaters, even if they produce movies, because they can't find theaters to release them, some of them are rotten in warehouses. ”

Chen Xunqi also sighed: "Yes, the reason why our company can develop so rapidly is because of the 'Tang Dynasty Cinema Line' as the backing. Otherwise, do you think that big companies like Shao's and Jiahe will sit back and watch our company grow and develop? They also can't do anything about us, so it is indeed wise to continue to increase investment in cinemas. ”

Regarding this year's development, several people discussed and determined the general direction. However, Gu Weiqi needs to consider the specific filming plan, and he also asked about the "King Kong Gourd Baby" produced by Gao Zhisen, and the two reported to him that it was still in production, and it is estimated that it will be done until next year, in short, the progress is very slow, after all, it is a hand-drawn animation, and it cannot be as fast as the future computer production.

And this is the company's first animation, and the quality requirements are relatively strict, which has caused the current progress to be even slower. However, Gu Weiqi is not in a hurry, because it is useless to be anxious, it is better to let them tinker slowly. It is regarded as spending money for everyone to learn, and learning the relevant skills of shooting animation has a very far-reaching significance for the future of Xiangjiang and even the Chinese film industry, and it is up to them.

chatted with the two casually for a while, and after having a general understanding of the company's recent development and business situation, he asked Chen Xunqi and Lin Zhenying to get busy. Then he asked about Fang Lingwei's work, and the latter first told him that Princess Yana had recently entered Xiangjiang University to study Chinese, after all, she planned to settle in Xiangjiang for a long time in the future, and there must be many inconveniences if she didn't know Chinese.

Gu Weiqi nodded, indicating that she knew, and she went on to report the business and development of the companies in charge of television, music, newspapers, magazines, comics, publishing houses, toy factories, game companies, etc., and then told him about the holding of the first "Platinum Award", and finally showed him the detailed work report.

After listening to this, Gu Weiqi learned that in general, the development momentum of each company is very good. Especially in terms of profitability, it was almost two or three times more than when the company was founded. In particular, the expansion of the business has been very fast, despite his repeated emphasis on slowing down, consolidating vested market share, and focusing on long-term development. In addition to benefiting from his "foresight", he also has strong funds as the backing, so that the expansion has no worries at all.

However, Gu Weiqi did not look at the detailed work reports of each company, but picked up the "Platinum Award" with great interest and browsed the awards.

The first "Platinum Award" was sponsored by "Phoenix TV", and co-organized by "Legendary Music", "Myth International Publishing House", "Novelty International Comics Society", "Fashion Charm Magazine", "China Entertainment Times" and "Giant Daily", "Movie Weekly", "TV Weekly" and "Vanity Fair", which were newly invested and founded by Tang Dynasty Fund.

Among the ten awards of Best Actor, Actress, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Action Direction, Best Editing and New Artist, and Soundtrack, Tang Guoqiang, who starred in "Starry Tonight", and Jing Li, a famous actress of the Shao family who starred in "Modern Dirty", won the Best Actor and Actress awards.

The Best Film Award was won by "Lushan Love" directed by Huang Zumo from the mainland's Modu Film Studio. However, the Best Director Award was won by Li Xing, a "native countryman" director from Baodao. The best screenplay was won by Xu Anhua's "Hit the Front".

The best cinematography was won by Huang Zhongbiao, the cinematographer of "Night Fragrance", which was directed by Xu Hark and also won the best director of a feature film at the Golden Horse Awards. However, because Gu Weiqi held this "Platinum Award" to support and encourage the vigorous development of Chinese films, the pattern is much larger than the "Golden Horse Awards", but it did not allow him to win more awards for best director.

The action direction award was won by the Yuan family class led by Yuan Xiaotian (Yuan Heping's father) starring Cheng Throat. The best editing went to Zhou Guozhong, the editor of "Night Fragrance". The best newcomer was won by Zheng Wenya, who "hit the right", and the best soundtrack was won by Weng Qingxi, the "original villager" of Taiwan.

As for "Donglai Company", it has no revenue, mainly because there was no movie released in 1980. Even the creative industry "Chasing Girls" was only released in January 1981, and according to the rules for awarding this award, only in 1982, when the second edition was held this year, could this film be counted among them.

Gu Weiqi roughly browsed it, and I have to say that Zhou Liang Shuyi, who is responsible for organizing this "Platinum Award", Guan Dexing, and their connections are still very extensive, and they have invited many directors and actors from across the Taiwan Strait and three places, as well as other film practitioners and behind-the-scenes personnel. Unexpectedly, they are still very face-saving, basically all the nominated winners, or invited guests, nine out of ten are present.

The reason why the people invited by Xiangjiang gave face to the scene was mainly because this award was nominally hosted by "Phoenix TV", but in fact, everyone knew that it was Gu Weiqi who really manipulated this award. And Boss Gu holds "Phoenix TV", "Donglai Film Company", "China Entertainment Times", as well as magazines, comics and publishing houses, as if he is a rising new generation of entertainment, culture and media tycoons. Had to give him face.

In particular, today's "Donglai Film Company" has sold a lot of films since its establishment, and now it has become the film company with the strongest development momentum in Hong Kong and even the whole of Southeast Asia. And with the development, it is foreseeable that it will become the leading company in the film industry in Xiangjiang in the future, and everyone may have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, so as to give face, and it will be easier to talk if you want to cooperate in the future.

As for the film practitioners in the mainland and Taiwan, they regard this trip to Xiangjiang as a righteous task. It must be known that both the mainland political axe and the Taiwan authorities have an intelligence system beyond imagination. And Gu Weiqi's rise is not only in the entertainment industry, but also in other industries. These secret investments may not be known to the general public, but they cannot be hidden from the investigation of the intelligence services of these two parties.

After discovering that Gu Weiqi had strong financial resources, both sides naturally wanted to win over this young rich man. As a result, the mainland political axe and the Taiwan bend authorities have coincidentally sent many film practitioners. In this way, the influence of the "Platinum Award" has been expanded invisibly. However, what made Gu Weiqi speechless was that the first platinum award invested 10 million Hong Kong dollars, but it lost money.

It's no wonder that Zhou Liang Shuyi has no previous experience. If he is allowed to operate it himself, he can definitely make a lot of money, mainly because the publicity is not in place, and it is the first time to hold this award, it is inevitable that some places are not well considered. In terms of advertising sponsorship, PR is also not done well. But in any case, this award was successfully held, which is also a good start.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but once this situation is opened, it will get better and better in the future. The most important thing is that it also gives film practitioners a hope. However, in order to make this film event more impressive and influential, it seems that it is necessary for me to take the time to personally organize one this year.

After making up his mind, Gu Weiqi decided to personally organize this award in June, and immediately put down the statement of the first "Platinum Award", which is still January, and the second "Platinum Award" is not in a hurry at present. Let's take a look at the profitability of each company, and then I picked up the detailed reports of several other companies.

First of all, Phoenix TV, because of a large number of high-quality scripts and abundant funds, the company has developed very fast, shooting a total of 28 dramas, in addition to 54 short dramas and 68 unit dramas, with an average rating of 42.5, seizing the market share of more than 200 million viewers. However, with the salaries of employees, a total of HK$330 million was spent.

However, the total profit from various advertising fees and TV rights takeaways, as well as the distribution of video tapes and the development of popular TV peripheral products, totaled 654 million Hong Kong dollars. ran to 330 million, which means that the actual profit is 320 million. This made Gu Weiqi very speechless, such a big TV station, especially all kinds of behind-the-scenes personnel and artists, has more than "Donglai Company", but it only makes so much money.
