Giving Zhang Yanrong's record appointment to Gu Jiahui mainly considering that releasing a record is a very cumbersome thing, Lin Xi can't say that one person can take care of the entire album, and he can't remember so many songs suitable for Zhang Rongrong in his head.

It's okay to get a Leslie Cheung, but there will be more artists to cooperate with in the future, and everyone has to do this, and Lin Xi can't be busy even if he has three heads and six arms.

Professional things are left to more professional people to do, which is also Lin Xi's usual principle.

Of course, Gu Jiahui's idea of signing Zhang Yurong also reminded Lin Xi that it was time to consider setting up a brokerage company.

Since traveling to this time and space, Lin Xi has been thinking about such a question - what is the biggest advantage of her foothold in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Is it all kinds of movies, songs, and novels in your head?

The answer is undoubtedly no, because these things will run out one day. Although Lin Xi also knew that as long as he "copied" everything in his head, the money and reputation he earned were enough for him to live comfortably for several lifetimes, but since he had crossed over, what he was pursuing was definitely not only the scenery of the past twenty or thirty years.

If he wants to realize the ambition in his heart, Lin Xi really relies on his accurate grasp of the historical trend of the next 30 years.

On the one hand, taking advantage of the most glorious golden decade of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, he used various films, televisions, songs, and novels in his mind to complete the original accumulation of capital; On the other hand, from now on, it is necessary to start weaving various networks and establish itself as an irreplaceable position in the industry.

And there is only one way to control the Hong Kong entertainment industry in this era, and that is to control the distribution channels, but unfortunately with Lin Xi's current strength, he basically can't get involved in the two most influential TV and movies.

In terms of TV, the market has been divided between the two TV stations of Wireless and Li, and Lin Xi also finally got the opportunity to get into Li, which opened a gap in this closed market, but the channel is still in the hands of others, and whether it is Li or wireless at this time, it is not something that Lin Xi can touch.

The situation in the film market is slightly better than that of television, but it is not much better.

Since the early 70s, Hong Kong has formed a situation of confrontation between Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, and the only two cinema chains are in the hands of these two companies. Although Zou Wenhuai promoted the independent production system in Golden Harvest, as long as Hong Kong film companies are willing to cooperate with Golden Harvest, the films they make can meet the audience through the cinemas of Golden Harvest, but this is also different from intimacy.

Because Golden Harvest not only does cinemas but also invests in making movies by itself, a good schedule naturally has to be reserved for its own films.

This is also a kind of expression of the imperfection of the Hong Kong film market, in Hollywood on the other side of the ocean, the relevant laws directly stipulate that the distributor and producer of a film cannot be the same company, simply put, you can't invest in making movies by yourself if you do a cinema, and you can't have your own cinema chain when you make a movie.

There is no such law in Hong Kong, so the current pattern will continue until the establishment of the new arts city this year.

Lin Xi has always been interested in this film company that has only existed for ten years, but has left a strong mark in Hong Kong film history.

Not to mention anything else, when you look at the people who came out of this company, you will know - Xu Ke, John Woo, Zeng Zhiwei, all of them were important figures in the Hong Kong film industry later.

Not to mention the three founders of the New Arts City, Mai Jia, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming, the first two chose to disappear from the entertainment industry after the 90s, and their fame is not so loud, but Huang Baiming was still active in the Hong Kong film industry until Lin Xi crossed the meeting, although his fame is no longer what it used to be, he can be regarded as a big man.

The new art city is only a flash in the pan for ten years, and the influence of the wheel is not as stiff as the hundred-legged insects like the Shaw Brothers, and the deeds have not reached the height of Golden Harvest, and because of the differences in creative concepts of several major creators, the exodus and the retreat, and finally a good film company collapsed like this, but the typicality of its rise is thought-provoking - especially for the current Lin Xi, if he wants to gain a firm foothold in the 80s, the era of Hong Kong films, the new art city model is still quite valuable for reference.

Of course, even the new art city has not completely gotten rid of the clamp of the cinema chain on the film company, and the biggest impact on the Hong Kong film market pattern after its establishment is that there is an additional cinema chain in addition to Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, and the financier behind the new art city, Golden Princess Entertainment Company, is the real boss of this cinema chain.

These people in the new art city are all arrogant people, with Lin Xi's reputation and qualifications at this time, it is estimated that they are not in their eyes, and Lin Xi is really involved in the formation of the new art city, and in the end he will be subject to the golden princess behind him, so he only pays attention to the new art city, and has no intention of getting involved.

Lin Xi has no funds to acquire these TV stations and movie theater lines for the time being, so he can only retreat first, first control the content provision of the upstream of the industry, and wait until the strength grows to force the TV station and movie theater line to make concessions, at least he can occupy more advantages in the negotiations.

Lin Xi has good TV and movie scripts in his hands, and what he lacks most now is people.

Setting up a brokerage company to sign Zhang Yurong is only the first step, and then he will consider taking those star artists who will become popular in the future but are not yet famous under his umbrella.

In a certain way, this is the biggest advantage after Lin Xi's crossing.

Using these stars, he can weave a strong network of relationships in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and catch all the talents in all related aspects.

Although this still can't completely offset the impact from the channel, but if he can do this, Lin Xi's control over the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry will not be weaker than the current industry giants such as Wireless and Golden Harvest, and even worse.

Because this kind of monopoly on talents is more difficult to break than the monopoly on channels.

In terms of TV, the situation of wireless dominance will soon be broken by the upcoming ATV, and if the history changes greatly, the Hong Kong government will continue to issue more TV licenses after the 90s, and the market competition will only be more diversified.

In terms of films, the establishment of New Arts City brought the third cinema Golden Princess to Hong Kong, and when the New Arts City closed down ten years later, Hong Kong's cinema chain not only decreased, but also expanded to five at once, and the scene was completely a scuffle.

Whether it is TV stations competing for ratings or movie theaters competing for audiences, they all need good works to support, and at that time, the initiative will be transferred to Lin Xi, who controls these resources.

If you want to use my actors, you have to use my director, screenwriter and even the entire crew!

Unless someone can integrate the channel resources of Hong Kong film and television (see Note 1 for details), in the context of various TV stations and theaters fighting each other, everyone has no way to unite to resist Lin Xi, and the only way left is to choose to cooperate with Lin Xi.

In the foreseeable future, the Hong Kong film and television industry will inevitably decline, although many people in later generations will analyze the reasons from within the industry, but in fact, the decline of the Hong Kong film industry is closely related to the economic recession in Hong Kong and the whole of Southeast Asia.

Lin Xi doesn't think that he can go against the sky to the point of changing the economic development trend of the entire Hong Kong, so he naturally can't prevent the decline of Hong Kong films, at most, let Hong Kong movies not lose so quickly and so miserably as in another time and space.

Once the Hong Kong film and television industry declines, the advantage of occupying the channel will be further weakened, and the mainland market is the real protagonist after the new century.

So Lin Xi is not very interested in controlling a TV station or a movie theater line now, and what he lacks most now is talent!
