Chapter 203. Movie Wars (2nd Update)

At this moment, the entire Hong Kong film industry exploded.23[wx].

Everyone thinks that actor entertainment is eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, which is very unrighteous. Some people also think that Actor Entertainment is doing this to make more money and expand more theaters.

In this regard, Duan Zihao once again stood up and replied, "I hope to break the monopoly of Hong Kong cinemas and contribute to the development of Hong Kong films." ”

"Hong Kong movies are everyone's films, so Hong Kong cinemas should also be open to pave the way for good films, and I shouldn't refuse to show this drama if it is not mine. This is a selfish and irresponsible act. ”

"Hollywood cinemas have a tradition of openness, because the Los Angeles government supports this model to promote the long-term development of Hollywood films; Therefore, I hope that the British government in Hong Kong will also recognize this and not let Hong Kong become the hardest hit area of the cinema chain monopoly. ”

"In the past, the reason why Shaw Brothers became the leader was because Hong Kong needed a strong monopoly leader, but now that Hong Kong films are prosperous, what we need is not a leading boss, but a peaceful and equal competition environment. I love movies, that's why I say that! I love Hong Kong, that's why I do it! ”

Duan Zihao's words once again aroused everyone's discussion. Especially those filmmakers, they were even more touched. Therefore, many people have come forward to express their support and agreement with Duan Zihao's views. Even film companies are willing to take the initiative to share their theaters with other films.

In this regard, even the Governor of Hong Kong also stood up and made remarks saying that Duan Zihao's proposal is strategic, constructive, and has a very positive significance in combination with the reality of Hong Kong film development.

He then said that Hong Kong is poor in resources, and it is unrealistic to rely solely on real estate and financial industries to promote economic development, so Hong Kong must diversify, and the film industry is the most important of diversification.

Whether it's borrowing from the Hollywood theater model. is still Hong Kong's own characteristic model, as the governor of Hong Kong, he feels that the opening up of cinemas advocated by Duan Zihao is an act that benefits the people and the city, and has contributed to the future development of Hong Kong films.

was able to be publicly commended by the Governor of Hong Kong, and Duan Zihao's reputation and popularity soared again.

At this juncture, as the new drama "The True Color of Heroes" of Actor Entertainment was officially announced, it will be released at the same time in the theaters of Golden Harvest and New Art City, as well as the three companies of Actor Entertainment!

As soon as this news came out, it was immediately applauded by countless people.

In particular, Jiahe and Xinyicheng, who were originally rivals, were able to turn hostility into friendship, and this time they shook hands and made peace. At the same time, the new drama of Actor Entertainment was released, which undoubtedly touched everyone too much.

At the same time, Golden Harvest and New Art City, as well as Actor Entertainment, announced that in the future, if a movie is released by the three companies, as long as it does not collide, it will be released together, with only one purpose, so that the majority of Hong Kong citizens. See the best movies.

As professional filmmakers, many people have begun to calculate their accounts carefully, if it is said that in the past, because the theaters were not open, the films released by film companies such as Golden Harvest and New Art City could only collect 30 or 40 million at most. So now, if a good film is released in all theaters in Hong Kong, then it is possible to break 50 million at the box office!

You know, the theater chain determines the number of audiences. The number determines the box office, and as soon as the number of moviegoers increases, the box office will naturally go up.

Let's do the math again. There are nearly 6.4 million people in Hong Kong, and a ticket is calculated according to an average of 10 yuan, and if everyone watches it, it will be 64 million!

This shows how huge the actual box office data of Hong Kong is.

Looking back, the union of Golden Harvest and New Art City, as well as Actor Entertainment, also illustrates a problem - it turns out that there are really no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests.

Regarding Duan Zihao's active alliance with Golden Harvest and New Art City, in the eyes of insiders of Actor Entertainment, this is just a strategic decision made by the boss to improve the box office.

But for Wang Jing, a fat man who knows Duan Zihao's personality very well, the connotation seems to be more than this.

In the fat man's view, Duan Zihao did this with the help of Golden Harvest and New Arts City to accelerate the expansion of Hong Kong films and save time.

The fat man's point of view surprised Duan Zihao, he never expected that this little fat man who seemed to be smiling and only knew how to film and pick up girls would be able to understand what he was hiding.

That's right, this is Duan Zihao's actual idea, Hong Kong films must be expanded, not infighting, only in this way can they rush out of the land of projectiles to the world, otherwise, they will be like in their previous life and stay in their nest for the rest of their lives until they die of weakness.

But not everyone can understand or accept such a profound meaning of Duan Zihao.

For example, a play that pops up out of nowhere, and the film company behind it.

This new drama that will be released at the same time as "The True Color of Heroes" in the summer vacation is "Royal Senior Sister", and the company behind it is Debao Pictures!

Debao Company is a new film company that has only been established for two years, and it is basically about the same time as Actor Entertainment, but its strength is very strong, because the head of this film company is Hong Kong's famous "watch king" Pan Dickson.

Pan Disheng is also known as the "Hong Kong prodigy", because he learned to help the family make money when he was very young, and invested in many projects with the money given by his father, and made a lot of money. It can be seen that this person has a very keen sense of business, and it is precisely because of this that he seems to have foreshadowed the golden decade of Hong Kong Electric, so when Shaw Brothers cut production and many film companies went bankrupt, he spent a huge amount of money to invest in Debao Film Company without hesitation.

In the early days of the company, Pan Disheng took out a lot of money and invited the famous director Xu Guanwen to shoot three movies for the company with 15 million Hong Kong dollars, plus a number of stars such as Lin Zixiang, Teddy Robin, Luo Meiwei and other famous actors hired with high salaries, which greatly increased the strength of Debao Company and made a number of classic works.

As a result, Debao has also become one of the five largest film companies in Hong Kong after Actor Entertainment.

However, it is obvious that Pan Disheng is very unhappy that Debao's scale exceeds that of Actor Entertainment, but his fame is not as loud as Actor Entertainment. In his opinion, whether it is his business talent or the development scale of the film company, he should be ranked in front of Duan Zihao, but on the contrary, no matter when, as long as he Duan Zihao appears in newspapers and magazines, he Pan Disheng will not be in the headlines.

As a rich son, as a "prodigy" who thinks he is peerlessly talented, Pan Disheng can't swallow this breath.

So two days after Duan Zihao called for the opening of cinemas, Pan Disheng went the opposite way, announcing that Debao Company had spent a huge amount of money to vigorously acquire the public cinemas of major film companies in Hong Kong, claiming to build a "leading enterprise" in the film industry, "Only the monopoly of the strong can bring prosperity to Hong Kong films!" ”

On the fourth day, Turvo acquired a newspaper and a magazine. A week later, Pan Disheng announced the reorganization of Debao Film Company, which became the Debao Group of Companies, mainly controlling films, cinemas, and newspapers.

And the media have discovered that I don't know when, this famous Pan Dickson has become the new favorite of the media with his resolute or domineering actions, and his series of largesse has a faint taste of Hong Kong's number one entertainment company.

Pan Disheng led Debao Group and Duan Zihao's actor entertainment to work against each other, making the entire Hong Kong film industry turbulent.

And Debao announced that "Royal Senior Sister" was officially released at the same time as "The True Color of Heroes", which has the meaning of fighting in the ring.

In comparison, the lineup of the drama "Royal Senior Sister" is definitely not small, starring Michelle Yeoh "Miss Malay" and "ace action actress", and foreign "world-class martial arts champion" Luo Flo appears as a golden partner. These two golden flowers alone are enough to attract attention, not to mention that in order to promote and package this drama, Pan Disheng even took out 1 million profits to distribute dividends to the audience and watch the movie with prizes.

For a time, "Royal Senior Sister" was popular before it was released.

Duan Zihao doesn't care about money now, although he is becoming more and more strict about investing in movies, or picking on the door, he really doesn't care about money.

However, not caring about money does not mean that he likes to be challenged, he hates the taste of being challenged head-on, which is a contempt for his authority.

Therefore, when Pan Dickson acquired various cinema chains in Hong Kong, Duan Zihao joined forces with Golden Harvest and New Arts City to form a cinema alliance again, shouting the slogan of "Xiangjiang Cinema Line, Serving the Public" to protect those weak cinema chains from being acquired by Debao Company.

Pan Disheng didn't expect Duan Zihao to take the initiative to stand up to meet him, for him, the so-called "cinema alliance" is just a short-term alliance formed from the perspective of interests, as long as he defeats the actor entertainment, whether it is Golden Harvest or New Art City, the relationship will immediately break down - as we all know, Golden Harvest and New Art City are the biggest opponents, and this time they can unite is also the actor acting as a peacemaker in it.

How to beat the actor?

Of course, it is relying on Debao's new drama "Royal Senior Sister"! (To be continued......)
