"Brother Wenzhong, the CEO's speech ability is very strong" 'The third largest company', Lu Yan suddenly smiled and said: "What I want now is a specific plan, you know, whether it is Hong Kong or the United States." 【Full text reading】It's not that as long as you have money, you can enter any industry and then play well, I used to think that it is easy to do things with money, and there is nothing that cannot be done. But look at Shaw Brothers Film Company, Uncle Shao is not short of money. Even in terms of model, it is the same as Hollywood. But his Shaw brothers lost so much that they are now discontinued......"

Qu Yiming obviously doesn't know much about this. Although he also learned about Lu Yan's plan after getting it, he had no clue about the actual targeted operation. Hong Kong's entertainment industry, in his opinion, sometimes seems to be more chaotic than shopping malls, especially even Xianghuaqiang, the bigwigs of these associations have decided to enter the entertainment industry, and it is enough to show that the Hong Kong entertainment industry in this period can be described as chaotic.

But when Huang Wenzhong heard Lu Yan's words, he smiled and said: "'Shaw Brothers' follows a more pure commercial production route. In Run Run Shaw's whole set of business philosophy with Chinese characteristics, Tianyi's "audience first" theory is its central content. Run Run Shaw understands the psychology of the general public audience, as well as the viewing habits and interests, and he reviews the story scripts provided by the choreographer and director to determine whether they have a box office. Whether the directors and stars of "Shaw Brothers" are reused is also based on box office records. After that, the TV show became more and more exciting, stealing a large number of moviegoers. The pace of life is getting more and more rushed, and people don't have the leisure and leisure to go to the cinema.

The previous Shaw Brothers directors left the cinema one by one, and the Shaw Brothers movies gradually lost their previous characteristics, and the golden signboard naturally no longer had the brilliance of the past. ”

It is undeniable that Huang's words are indeed true. It's just that there's another layer of stuff in there. Lu Yan grabbed this layer of things and asked: "The rise of TV has led to the loss of movie audiences, but Golden Harvest and New Art City are still doing very well." I think the reason why they can do a good job is not only because the director has not lost and the actors have a box office appeal, right? ”

"Of course, if the boss knows about Hollywood's Fox studios. Of course, to be precise, it should be called Twentieth Century Fox. Back in 1935, the twentieth century merged the troubled Fox. It's a rat-eat-elephant deal, because Fox has more than 500 movie theaters alone. Darryl? Zanuk immediately set about signing several promising rising stars, including Thierry Henry? Fonda and Betty? Garbo, soon, dug out a cash cow, child star Xiulan? Temple. By the time of World War II, relying on these stars and musicals and biopics, Fox had become the most profitable company in Hollywood, and the rise of television also dealt a big blow to the film industry. Twentieth Century Fox wanted to survive by increasing the number of movie theaters, but the court ruled that the big distribution companies had to separate from the projection industry, and the company lost half of its movie theaters. In the fifties, Twentieth Century Fox pinned its hopes on new technologies such as the super-large screen and stereoscopic cinema. The new technology did initially attract audiences, but by 1956, the box office began to ebb again. Subsequently, the company's new successor, Alain Jr.? Ryder adjusted the direction of the company in time and decided to make films for younger audiences, and the result was a lot of great work......"

Lu Yan naturally knew the names mentioned in Huang Wen. Making movies for young audiences, Lu Yan still remembers the "Star Wars" series of movies. It's just that now, these Hollywood masterpieces have not yet appeared. But when they appeared, it was the time when Hollywood blockbusters completely invaded the world's entertainment industry

Thinking of this, Lu Yan suddenly shook his head and said: "It's difficult to copy the Hollywood model."

"The boss can create a miracle of Dongcheng Image with five million, and your talent is beyond doubt. And it's not a copy of the Hollywood model, but a whole set of assembly line operation process. The current Hong Kong film industry has actually developed into a kind of crazy road. A lot of movies are very crazy. And the degree of follow-up is extremely serious, but if Dongcheng Imaging has a series of complete supporting facilities, it will be difficult for many small companies to remake well-shot movies and large-scale productions" Huang Wenzhong pointed out the disadvantages of Hong Kong films, and immediately said with pride: "I was originally invited by Paramount Pictures, but I was not interested in this aspect at that time"

Hearing this, Lu Yan suddenly laughed at himself: "I'll just say how you know so much about Hollywood movies, if you only know about Hong Kong movies because of the preparation work after getting my plan." Then the understanding of Hollywood studios is unusual"

"Actually, boss, you are more talented than me, especially in running an entertainment company. The East Side Image is a good example of this, both in terms of propaganda techniques and overall development. In particular, the well-made route you pursued seems to be very worthwhile now. In other words, even if you make a bad movie now, countless fans will buy it. Because in their eyes, the movies produced by Dongcheng Imaging are classics"

"What's this" Lu Yan suddenly said a little weakly: "Compared with Hollywood, the gap is too big." Although Hong Kong movies can be sold well in Asia now, if they want to be released in North America, they will definitely be beaten very badly."

When you think about the final Hollywood blockbuster, let alone Asia. Few other continents have companies that can compete with it. Even if this will, it is because Hong Kong films are in their golden age. Once this momentum continues, it will be difficult for Hong Kong films to support the overall situation after all

"But now Hollywood movies can't enter the Hong Kong film market at all" Huang Wenzhong officially studied the development of Hong Kong films, which became more and more alarming. This will learn that the boss is actually Lu Yan, and suddenly there is an impulse in his heart. That's what makes an entertainment company legend, at least in Hong Kong, it will still be gone.

"Now our company's liquidity is quite abundant, and the formal merger of Dongcheng Image is like a plan, first set up various departments. Recruit people in this area and start to run on the right track, especially in large departments such as the distribution department and the production department, and the screenwriting department and the like are easier to manage. Now there are a lot of talents in the Hong Kong film industry, and we can find a way to dig them up, and there are problems within the new art city, so we just take this opportunity to recruit more people to come over......" Lu Yan thought about it, and immediately decided: "First use LP as a financial backing, of course, LP marketing must be done well." Otherwise, there will be fluctuations in funds, which will easily lead to collective damage."

Qu Yiming and Huang Wenzhong both nodded, indicating that it should be like this. Since you are ready to show your strength, you must set off a big move.

Huang Wenxin moved, and immediately spoke: "Boss, Dongcheng Imaging is too personal now. Although several films are very good, they are only a small independent production company after all. In terms of company operations, there are no special talents in this area. We need to recruit some administrative, financial, and marketing talents, and the soul is that no matter how good your film company is, it needs to come up with powerful works. In this regard, the owner is definitely well deserved. When the time comes, one after another excellent works will appear, plus a good operation."

"By the way, we still need the support of the theater line" Huang Wenzhong paused for a moment, and suddenly said: "The theater lines of New Art City and Golden Harvest are definitely not able to be gathered. But Debao Cinemas has no problem at all. They only took it over from Shaw last year, and it's not stable now. My opinion is that the acquisition of Turvo Films"

"What? Acquisition of Debao Films and its cinema chains? Huang Wenzhong's words suddenly made Lu Yan stunned. Immediately, he reacted and looked at Huang Wenzhong with a smile and said, "You should have done enough work a long time ago."

It has been some time since Lu Yan took out the plan. He never expected that Huang Wenzhong would do so much preparation.

When Huang Wenzhong heard this, he also smiled and said: "Although I don't recommend investing in the entertainment industry, I definitely need to take the lead in making preparations in all aspects for the opinions put forward by the boss." And Debao is the best target for annexation, because its interior is more serious than that of Xinyicheng."

"Won't it?" Lu Yan didn't know anything about this matter. In particular, the news mentioned by Huang Wenzhong has not been disclosed even by these media in Hong Kong

Seeing Lu Yan's unbelievable look, Huang Wenzhong immediately took out a document from the folder and handed it to Lu Yan and said, "Boss, you can take a look at this"

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

When Lu Yan took this information, his eyes were still full of disbelief. But after reading it, I was dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Debao's grouping information was all obtained by Huang Wenzhong. When Gu Weili was dug up from Xinyi City, she poached her group and became one of the two production directors, the other being Cui Baozhu. There is also a group of productions that are Yu Zheng and Gan Guoliang...... Because Debao Film Company has a theater chain, it is necessary to ensure that what films are for the New Year, what is Christmas, what is the summer vacation, and the prime time. So in terms of filming, it's very easy. Because of this, the works produced by Debao Film Company are all uneven.

The current Debao is very chaotic, and Cen Jianxun and Pan Disheng disagree. They have a cinema chain to manage, and there is a shortage of films, and Cen Jianxun can't help but invest in filming in order to cope with the schedule of the cinema, so Debao's films can easily start shooting. They are very lenient in making movies, and they feel that the script is okay and the cost is okay, so they can make it. So the director has no pressure, just hand in the film after shooting. Even the directors thought it was weird that there was no time to show the movie according to the schedule after it was filmed. During this period, their films were shown at midnight and at seven o'clock...... Look at whether the box office is good or not, and how much money is invested in publicity.

So how chaotic is Debao at this stage? Lu Yan was surprised when he saw these materials. The internal political problems faced by many Debao staff are also very complicated, because Debao is led by one person, Cen Jianxun. Cen Jianxun didn't know what to think of Gao Zhisen, Yu Rentai, and Feng Shixiong in the past.

Sometimes Cen Jianxun and Pan Disheng also launched strikes when they were fighting, and because of this. As a direct result, Debao Film Company will definitely find it difficult to rise in the short term if it does not solve its internal problems.

Looking at it this way, Lu Yan finally understood why Debao Film Company bought the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line. Even dug up a lot of staff and directors of Xinyicheng, but there is no main reason for the rise.

Looking at Lu Yan's look of disbelief, Huang Wenzhong affirmed: "Boss Debao is now full of contradictions within him, and we can take down this company at this time." Debao Film Company is second, mainly those theaters in his hands. With these theaters, Dongcheng Imaging officially has the strength to fight against companies such as Xinyicheng and Jiahe. And it can be vigorously developed, and multiple films can be filmed. If you have your own theater, you don't have to worry about not being on schedule."

Schedules are the deadliest pulse for independent production companies, if you don't have a good schedule. Then what can lead to is the existence of even an excellent work that becomes a box office Waterloo. But once you have a schedule, even a bad movie can win a lot of box office

And now the three major cinema chains in Hong Kong are being controlled by these three major companies.

Listening to Huang Wenzhong's words, Lu Yan finally understood why he was able to say so confidently that Dongcheng Imaging had quickly become the 'third giant' company

"But what if the acquisition of Turbow causes someone within the company to jump ship?" Regarding this matter, Lu Yan still felt that he should think about it deeply.

After all, now Debao Film Company itself is already full of internal contradictions, and this acquisition has come over. Doesn't that make these contradictions even worse? And if it doesn't work out, if they change jobs again like Gao Zhisen, it will be a very failure for such an acquisition

I don't want Huang Wenzhong to show a confident look and say: "Boss, don't forget that Golden Harvest pioneered the dividend system of the satellite company." They can take advantage of this and focus on the distribution and theatrical business. In the 70s, it competed with Shaw Brothers in Xiangjiang, and now it has a three-legged relationship with Xinyicheng and Debao...... And I believe that if the boss buys Debao Film Company, many people should be happy about it, in terms of using newcomers, you are the benchmark, and now in Debao Film Company, many people are unsatisfactory in Xinyi City. As the boss, I'm afraid it's too late for them to be happy."
