057 Chen Shaoyi's corporate vision
Sometimes Mi Xue always thinks about how there is such a freak as Chen Shaoyi in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
No matter what, Mi Xue still supports Chen Shaoyi, and said with a slight smile: "You guy seems to have been born in the entertainment industry, although you haven't been a director yet, but you seem to be confident like that." ”
Chen Shaoyi laughed and said: "Sister Ling, what you said is really right, I am really a genius born in the entertainment industry." ”
Mi Xue ignored Chen Shaoyi's narcissism, and asked again: "You just said that you want to cooperate with other film and television companies, right?" What exactly do you think. ”
Chen Shaoyi tilted his head, "I think so, after all, I am only one person, and I can't make too many films, and I write the script myself is super fast, if this extra script is pressed on my hand, it is a waste of resources, and I am unwilling to sell it to others." So I thought of using these scripts as a stepping stone, and investing in filming with others, which can not only get more benefits, but also make more friends in the circle, why not. ”
"Then why don't you set up a company and ask more directors to come back and help you." Mi Xue couldn't figure this out.
"My stupid sister, the Hong Kong film industry is not what you want, there are a lot of rules here, if I really set up such a film and television group, I think I will immediately become a thorn in the side of others, become a public enemy, how can I still be mixed in the film industry."
Mi Xue was a little unhappy that Chen Shaoyi called herself a stupid sister, and Xiuyan said angrily: "Why am I stupid, how can you become a public enemy, you explain it to me." ”
Chen Shaoyi saw that he had provoked Mi Xue again, and surrendered again without restraint, "Sister Ling, I'll analyze it for you, you listen." ”
"You say."
"The current pattern of Hong Kong's film industry is the confrontation between Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, and too many film and television companies in Hong Kong are almost backed by these two, and of course there are some small companies supported by Golden Princess Cinemas. Why is this happening? Do you know? ”
Mi Xue thought hard for a while, but still gave up, this was not something she could come up with at all, so Mi Xue shook her head, said she didn't know, and motioned for Chen Shaoyi to continue.
Chen Shaoyi smiled, and then analyzed Mi Xue: "The reason for this pattern is the problem of the theater chain? ”
"Cinemas?"
"Yes, it's cinemas. Just like a TV station, after a TV series is filmed, it must be broadcast on the TV station, and after the movie is filmed, it must be shown to you in a theater. This involves the distribution of theaters, for example, it is impossible for Shaw Brothers to play the movies made by Golden Harvest, and it is impossible for Golden Harvest to play the movies made by Shaw Brothers for you. Therefore, film and television companies are inseparable from the theater chain, without the support of the theater chain, no matter how good your movie is, what is the use, it is all rootless. So if I really set up such a film and television group, it would be equivalent to announcing a war with Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, and without the support of the theater chain, I would definitely fail miserably, understand? Chen Shaoyi analyzed Mi Xue in detail.
"Isn't there also a Golden Princess Cinema? Can't you get their support? Mi Xue asked puzzled.
"Sister Ling, you're right, Princess Jin has not been able to make decent movies because she doesn't have a large film and television company at hand, and she is all a petty fight. However, I don't think Lei Juekun is a character who is willing to keep his way, I think he should be looking for a character who can confront Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest now, and be ready to support each other, so that the other party can become his own bridgehead and confront Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. ”
Chen Shaoyi knew that in September this year, the new art city was about to appear on the stage of history, shooting many, many classic movies, thus forming a three-legged situation in the Hong Kong film industry in the 80s with Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers.
It's already the end of June, and there are still more than two months to go, and the new art city will attack strongly, maybe now Lei Juekun has discussed with Mecca, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming and others, just waiting to choose a good day to open.
"Listening to you say that, isn't your alliance with Princess Jin very good?"
"On the surface, it looks good, but it's actually not great, especially for someone like me who likes freedom."
"How?"
"Let's take Brother Wen's Xu Brothers Company as an example, this is a satellite company of Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest in order not to let Brother Wen and others out of their control, in the Xu Brothers Company occupies a lot of shares, Brother Wen said that he is a boss, but in fact he is not an employee of Golden Harvest, but he has changed a trick and a different statement. The object that the golden princess wants to support will definitely refer to the satellite company of Golden Harvest, and they will definitely occupy a large number of shares in this newly supported company, so that the golden princess can meddle in this company at any time, and these are not what I want. ”
"Shaoyi, since it's not good, what do you think yourself?" Mi Xue asked with concern.
Chen Shaoyi smiled: "What do you think? Didn't I say that before? I write the script and then cooperate with them, to see which party is interested in cooperating, which party is more sincere, I will cooperate with whichever party, so that I can get out of the theater and wander between the three parties, and neither side will be offended. Besides, I'm very confident in my script, and I'm not afraid that they won't be willing to cooperate. ”
After Mi Xue listened to Chen Shaoyi's words, her worried heart did not decrease much, "But ......"
Chen Shaoyi saw Mi Xue snorting, and asked curiously, "Sister Ling, what are you still worried about?" ”
"Aren't you afraid that if you do this, you will offend the three families at the same time?"
Chen Shaoyi smiled, "Sister Ling, you are worried about this, you can rest assured." Let's take Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers as an example, they are a pair of old enemies, I heard that in the 70s, when a movie was shown in a theater, they would entangle each other with a gang of gangsters to make trouble for the other side, and the grievances between Zou Wenhuai and Shao Liushu, the tycoons, are well-known to Hong Kong people, and there are not many things that can make them cooperate. As long as I have a good grasp of the degree, I don't think there will be any problem. ”
Mi Xue relieved her heart at this time, her beautiful face bloomed with the most delicate flowers, and said with a smile: "I'll just say that you guys will definitely think about things carefully before doing them." ”
Chen Shaoyi said in his heart: Didn't your old man always say that I was sloppy and impulsive? Why is it changing words again now?
Mi Xue was in a good mood and asked Chen Shaoyi, "Shaoyi, when are you going to do this?" ”
"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed."
"Dongfeng? What east wind? ”
Chen Shaoyi spread his hands and said pitifully: "Sister Ling, my funds have been invested in "Modern Bodyguard", but now I don't have any money, I can't do anything without money, a penny is difficult for a hero, and a good woman is difficult to cook without rice." Aren't I waiting for this "Modern Bodyguard" to be released and earn me a lot of money back? ”
In fact, Chen Shaoyi also has his own thoughts about the theater issue, but these are just ideas at present, and the difficulty of doing it is quite high, and Chen Shaoyi doesn't want to say it too early. It's not that Chen Shaoyi doesn't believe Mi Xue, it's just that he doesn't want Mi Xue to worry, because what Chen Shaoyi is going to do is a dangerous thing to eat.
Looking at Chen Shaoyi's pitiful appearance, Mi Xue was very happy and "giggled", smiling so beautifully.
