0140 【Bright Future】

Unable to withstand Shao Shuaijun's repeated requests, Zou Daheng, who had hardly set foot in the mainland, finally agreed to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony of the film and television base of Dream Chasing Entertainment Company. As an old man who has struggled for movies for 50 years, he also hopes to go to the mainland to see the current development of films.

Before going to the capital, there is also a press conference to be released, which is not only an explanation of the changes in the shares of the listed company, but also to build momentum for the groundbreaking ceremony. took advantage of this press conference to push Dream Chasing Entertainment to the forefront. On New Year's Day, a press conference was held in the Golden Harvest Conference Room on the 16th floor of the office building of The Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong.

Zou Daheng, Shao Shuaijun, Zou Chongheng, and Li Xiuxiu walked into the rostrum hand in hand.

The audience was full of countless reporters, most of whom were Hong Kong media, but also mainland media, treasure island media, and Asian media. Hundreds of media outlets crowded all corners of the hall. Dozens of microphones were also placed on the table on the rostrum, and internationally renowned media such as Phoenix Media, Asia Interactive, and Entertainment Star came to the table.

Golden Harvest's press officer announced on the rostrum: "As of yesterday, Mr. Shao Shuaijun, the president of Dream Chasing Entertainment Company from the mainland, has reached an agreement with Mr. Zou Daheng, chairman of Golden Harvest, as well as Mr. Li Chaoren and Mr. Chen Kewang, on the share transaction of Golden Harvest Company, and the two sides signed the contract in a friendly and frank atmosphere. Mr. Shao Shuaijun acquired 24.78% of the shares of Mr. Zou Wenhuai and Ms. Zou Chongheng, 13.9% of the shares of Li Chaoren and 19.8% of the shares of Chen Kewang for HK$572.08 million in cash, and achieved absolute control of Golden Harvest Entertainment with 58.48% of the total shares, and served as the new chairman of Golden Harvest Company. ”

Click, click, flash.

The reporters were boiling, although they all got the news that there was a major change in the shares of Golden Harvest, but they did not expect that it was a mainland company that acquired Golden Harvest's shares. Media Asia Variety Show Film and Television, which had previously contacted Golden Harvest Company, once reported that it was going to acquire Golden Harvest, and Lin Jianyue, the boss of Media Asia, also expressed his ambition for Golden Harvest shares on different occasions.

As a result, the ending was unexpected, and it turned out to be a little-known dream chasing entertainment company that acquired Golden Harvest. What's even more unexpected is that Dream Chasing Entertainment Company was established by Shao Shuaijun. The company, which was almost less than two months old, has swallowed up a legend that has stood for nearly four decades.

Definitely breaking news.

"May I ask Mr. Zou, how did you decide to trade shares with Dream Chasing Entertainment Company, Dream Chasing Company seems to be an unfamiliar company, not famous at all?" The reporter couldn't wait to ask questions.

Zou Daheng smiled and replied: "This company is not without fame, you see, sitting next to me is the CEO of Dream Chasing Company, the most powerful young director in China today." The reason why I chose to sell my shares to Dream Chaser is that I am very optimistic about Shao Shuaijun, a young man, who has the same beautiful dream of movies as me. Now Dream Chaser has taken a one-stop film route, from the upstream production layout to the downstream theater layout. This coincides with Golden Harvest's development philosophy, and the above considerations prompted me to hand over Golden Harvest to him. ”

"So Director Shao, what do you think of the cooperation with Golden Harvest, and why did you want to acquire Golden Harvest? What do you value about Golden Harvest? ”

Shao Shuaijun thought for a while and said: "I grew up watching Hong Kong movies, I like Bruce Lee very much, not only for his fists and feet, but also for the kind of worship that he broke into Hollywood and amazed foreigners." When I grew up, I learned that the first company Bruce Lee joined was Golden Harvest. Zou Tycoon and Bruce Lee, with a few people, broke into Hollywood and fought for a piece of the sky. Internationally, Golden Harvest is very famous, and it is also very strong in overseas distribution channels, and there are a group of filmmakers with rich film experience, which is what I value. ”

After answering this question, Shao Shuaijun pushed the microphone in front of him to the side and signaled everyone that he would not answer any more questions. Today's press conference is more about Zou Daheng's retirement confession and a sharing of looking back on the past.

Regarding share trading and retirement, Zou Daheng said: "I have been making movies for 50 years, and anyone who has been doing it for so long should retire, and his brain and eyesight have declined, and he can't always occupy a seat." My biggest regret now is that the opening up of mainland films was too late, and if I had been 20 years earlier and 20 years younger, I would have had the opportunity to experience the day when Chinese films were booming. ”

"The most satisfying thing in my life is that I can do things for myself and give it to another person who can do things for me, and I am very relieved. In recent years, the market for Hong Kong films has not been good, the market has shrunk, the production has decreased, and the number of people engaged in film has also decreased, so in the future, I will not interfere in the plan of chasing dreams, I know that chasing dreams will be very enthusiastic about the development of the film industry. ”

"When you ask me, many people wonder why they don't pass it on to my family. I have never thought that Golden Harvest is my personal industry, I am just a shareholder of Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest is the crystallization of the collective, and my daughter is only helping in the company, which does not mean anything. I will work as an advisor at the new Golden Harvest for three months, and then I will spend time with my family and grandchildren. ”

"As for chasing dreams and staying in Golden Harvest, will it cause a lot of personnel changes. I think that even when I was in the company, it was normal for people to change their positions based on their performance, so it was normal for them to change personnel. As for what you said, whether the share transaction between Li Chaoren and Chen Kewang means the withdrawal of the Li family, I can only say that Golden Harvest is complete, they are just investors, they have never participated in the operation of Golden Harvest, and what was handed over to Shao Shuaijun is also a complete Golden Harvest. ”

"I can't guess the future development plans and practices of Dream Chasing Dreams, but I believe that we are in the same direction for the development of Chinese films."

In the reporter's question, Zou Daheng reviewed his brilliant and legendary life, and everyone knows that this means that a generation of legends has come to an end, and a generation of newcomers has emerged. Zou Daheng handed over his film kingdom to Shao Shuaijun and crowned Shao Shuaijun.

Finally, the reporter hopes that the two generations will talk about the future development trend of Chinese films.

Zou Daheng lifted his glasses and said earnestly: "Many Hong Kong people are used to using the term 'Chinese film', but I think it is more accurate to say 'Chinese film', and the boundary between the mainland and Hong Kong has become more and more blurred, and it will not be long before Hong Kong and mainland films will merge, because after all, they are the same culture and the same language." Although Hollywood movies are still the hottest, many people still like to watch movies of their own culture, so I think Chinese films are the only ones that have a chance to compete with Hollywood. ”

Chinese-language films are a special term that involves some political factors. Shao Shuaijun supports Zou Daheng's statement, but he can't just say it. Considering the tone and thinking about the future, Shao Shuaijun took a microphone: "The road is tortuous, and the future is bright." ”
