Chapter 204 A New Pattern in the Film Industry

Shao Tycoon transferred Shaw Brothers Cinemas to Zhang Yi, and the pattern of the Hong Kong film industry changed immediately, and everyone had not had time to digest it, and it was rumored that Shaw Brothers Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas would be united.

For the Hong Kong film industry, two bombshells in a row to blow up everyone is dizzy, and the most unstable of them is naturally Golden Harvest.

There is no doubt that it is not impossible for Golden Princess Cinemas and Shaw Brothers Cinemas to cooperate, and Zhang Yi cooperates with Xinyicheng to squeeze Golden Harvest Cinemas. Moreover, that is not what Golden Harvest can bear at all.

And Zhang Yizhi accepted the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line and began to acquire other idle theaters. Zhang Yi is not short of money, nor is he short of means. Whether it is sold or not, it is not up to those idle theater owners.

"Boss, Boss Jiahe Zou is here." Lin Xiao said to Zhang Yi.

"Let him in!" Zhang Yi smiled and counted. That Zou tycoon finally couldn't sit still.

The people who came, in addition to Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang.

"Hehe, Boss Zou, Mr. He! You may be seated, you may be seated! Zhang Yi smiled and pointed to the sofa in the living room and said, "The two of you came here today, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" ”

What is it? I don't believe you don't know. Zou Daheng and the two of them despised Zhang Yi in their hearts, but said with a smile: "The Shaw Brothers gradually stopped production, and the sixth uncle turned his focus to TV, but he didn't expect him to transfer the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line to Mr. Zhang. ”

Zhang Yi smiled and did not answer, but looked at Zou Tycoon.

"I heard that Mr. Cheung has acquired some idle cinemas in a row, and now he has the largest cinema chain in Hong Kong. I wonder if Mr. Zhang has any plans to open a film company? Zou Daheng then said.

"Not yet!" Zhang Yi smiled faintly and said.

Not yet? Isn't that the underlying meaning to be in the future?

Zhang Yi looked at the two of them, and then said: "Actually, I can still guess the purpose of Boss Zou's visit today. Boss Lei wanted to unite the Golden Princess Cinema Line and the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, but I didn't immediately agree, nor did I refuse directly, but I think Boss Zou also guessed my purpose. Let's have a good time. ”

"What if we don't say yes?" Zou Daheng frowned, and then said.

"I work with Boss Lei. It's not difficult to crush Golden Harvest Cinemas! If Boss Zou thinks that I, Zhang Yi, are talking big, you can give it a try. Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"Then why don't you just crush Golden Harvest?" He Guanchang said.

Zhang Yi glanced at He Guanchang, and then said, "I worked with Jiahe before, and it was still very pleasant. ”

"After the merger, how much can Golden Harvest share?" Zou Wenhuai then said.

The merger of theaters is definitely good for Hong Kong films, and Zou Wenhuai can naturally see it. But once Golden Harvest loses control of the theater chain, it will be attached to Golden Harvest's film company. The top ten will become independent, which will undoubtedly be a challenge for Golden Harvest at that time.

How many layers can Jiahe occupy, this is what Zou Wenhuai cares about. After all, after the merger of the three theater chains, there is no need to ask who will dominate.

"Twenty percent!" Zhang Yi said lightly.

"Twenty percent, too little!" Zou Wenhuai then said.

"Quite a few!" Zhang Yi waved his hand and then said. "Theater united, I have to dominate, as a condition, I don't open a film company. Boss Lei can only account for 20%! ”

"You want sixty percent?" Zou Wenhuai looked at Zhang Yi with some surprise.

"Fifty percent! Shaw Brothers accounts for one percent! Zhang Yi then said. The extra share in my hand will be used to make up for you with funds. ”

"How do you guarantee Golden Harvest's interests?" He Guanchang asked again.

"The only one who can guarantee your Golden Harvest interests is yourself! After the theatrical union, Yiqiē spoke with the quality of the movie. Literary films can be given some proper care, but the rest speak for themselves at the box office. Those who have a bad box office must give way to a good box office. Zhang Yi said. However, no matter which film company shoots a movie, the box office is high. You can all make money! ”

"We need to sit together and talk about this!" He Guanchang then said.

"Yes!" Zhang Yi said with a smile.

The result of the detailed discussion ended with Zhang Yi's strength. Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Golden Harvest Cinemas, Golden Princess Cinemas, and the three cinemas jointly established a new company, with Zhang Yi personally occupying half of the shares, and the rest of Golden Harvest 20%, Golden Princess 20%, and Shaw Brothers 10%.

The changes in the pattern of the film industry have made countless people stunned in a few days. Shaw Brothers stopped production and changed hands to theaters, ending the three-legged trend of the Hong Kong film industry. Zhang Yi took over, making people look forward to a more fierce three-country hegemony. What I didn't expect was that Princess Jin's Lei Tycoon wanted to unite with Shaw Brothers Cinemas. Everyone sweated for Jiahe again, obviously the balance had been broken.

But who didn't expect that the final result was the union of the three theaters, with Zhang Yi dominating, and it can be said that he covered the sky with one hand in the Hong Kong film industry and became the overlord of the film industry.

When the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation throughout Hong Kong and instantly spread to the whole of Southeast Asia.

The three theaters are united, and the pattern of the Hong Kong film industry has changed, and such a title can no longer attract attention. As a result, some media started directly with Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi's legend has undoubtedly added a heavy touch this time. Before the opening of the Guoshu Building, some media have jokingly called Zhang Yi the leader of the Hong Kong Martial Arts League. Now, Zhang Yi controls the Hong Kong cinema chain, and the Hong Kong film industry, who can match it.

The so-called building near the water gets the moon first. Zhang Yi, the extremely incompetent vice president of Ming Pao, was naturally embarrassed to refuse Ming Pao's interview.

As soon as Ming Pao's interview with Zhang Yi came out, sales immediately increased significantly.

Zhang Yi added to the fire, and his upcoming movie "Myth" also became popular.

The production of "Mythology" has been completed, and Zhang Yi is very satisfied after watching the finished film. At least it's much better than the original, especially the war scenes, which can only be described in two words: shocking!

The war scene will definitely shock the world, nearly 10,000 troops, after more than a month of shooting, plus post-production special effects, not to mention in this era, even after another 20 years, it will definitely give people a visual shock.

Moreover, the last underground heavenly palace is beautiful, like a fairyland, and the dance that Zhou Huimin danced under the power of suspension will definitely be an irreproducible classic.

"Mr. Liao, what are you looking for me?" Zhang Yi said to Liao Yiyuan.

"Hollywood has come to several film companies and wants to bring in "Myth", but the conditions are almost the same." Liao Yiyuan then said.

"Have they seen the finished film?" Zhang Yi thought about it and then said.

"Nope. However, they should have all seen the trailer. Liao Yiyuan said.

It's not uncommon to see the trailer, and now the trailer for "Myth" has been broadcast on TV in prime time. The trailer was cut by Zhang Yi himself, and it is not long, but it is definitely attractive.

At the beginning, the rain of arrows in the sky shot straight down, as if to break the screen, and then after the special effects were processed, tens of thousands of troops fought fiercely in a flash, the Great Wall, the Terracotta Army, the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, Li Lianju, Zhou Huimin, Liang Jiahua, Yuan Hua flashed one by one, and several wonderful fights. It can be said that it is full of taste.

What a blockbuster! This is the real blockbuster!

"Then let them see the finished film first. Conquer them with the quality of the film. I see which of them is still stable. Those filmmakers, businessmen and filmmakers, as long as they have a little eyesight, they can see that the film will give them benefits. None of them will have trouble with money. Zhang Yi said.

"Hmm. I'll arrange it. Liao Yiyuan nodded, and then said.

Although "Myth" is purely Chinese culture, it carries a mystery. North America and other places were set off by Zhang Yi Kung Fu people, and the mysterious oriental culture is still very curious for them. Moreover, the visual effects of the war scenes inside definitely set a precedent.

Hollywood's blockbusters have never used so many actors.

"Well, wait!" Zhang Yi suddenly said to Liao Yiyuan, "Mr. Liao, is there any news from the mainland?" ”

"Huh. Mr. Zhang is relieved that the censorship has been cleared and is now being arranged, and there is no problem at all with the on-time release. This film will also become the first film to be released in Southeast Asia and mainland China at the same time. Liao Yiyuan smiled.

The release of "Myth" is getting closer and closer, and Zhang Yi is already preparing a new movie. Although "The Love of People and Ghosts" is a romance film, special effects are also used in it, especially the scenes of ghosts passing through the wall, and the effect of relying on props to shoot is obviously not satisfactory to Zhang Yi.
