The next day, Hong Kong newspapers reported the news of the midnight test screening of Hong Jingbao's "Summer Lucky Star".

However, the focus of media attention was not on the movie.

Instead, it focused on the issue of three-line joint screening.

Han Jin revealed yesterday that not only Hong Jingbao's "Summer Lucky Star" will be released in Yongsheng Cinema.

And Xinyicheng's "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" will also be released in Yongsheng Cinemas.

One cinema shows the films of three film companies, but it is the first of its kind for Hong Kong films.

In the '50s and '60s, Shaw Brothers and Denmao fought to the death, and there was no tendency to want to unite.

In the 70s, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest were inseparable.

Summoning each other's Dragon and Tiger Warriors to smash each other's theaters.

There was even a nasty act of dropping bombs at the theater of the opposing side.

In the 80s, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest joined forces to fight for the new art city.

Every prime time is a bloody battle.

The two sides are fighting in the newspapers, you criticize me and I scold the past, the chickens and geese fight, and they never stop.

Unexpectedly, now, these two enemies, under the mediation of Han Jin, began to show signs of reconciliation.

It was unexpected for the Hong Kong media and filmmakers.

Ordinary people don't think much about it.

If the three lines are connected, they still feel that it is a good thing.

In the future, you won't have to worry about whether to go to Golden Harvest Cinemas or Golden Princess Cinemas, or go to Shaw Brothers Cinemas.

But for Hong Kong filmmakers, this incident has attracted a lot of attention.

If the three cinemas of Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, and Yongsheng engage in three-line joint screenings, it will be a big disaster for them.

The three cinema chains control more than 70% of Hong Kong's cinemas.

There are also 20% of the cinemas under the Yindu organization.

The remaining 10% is the Western Cinema Line.

As for neighborhood theaters, underground theaters, and rural theaters, they are ignored because their influence is too small.

It can be said that the three cinema chains occupy a monopoly position in commercial cinemas.

If the three are combined, the other production companies will never have a bright future.

Because if the production company wants to show it. It is bound to have the support of cinemas.

Otherwise, it will be choked by the three major film companies at any time.

In the past, the three theater chains did not belong to each other and competed with each other, but these production companies could still fish in troubled waters, take advantage of their strength, and take advantage of the opportunity to exhibit.

But now the three theaters are united, just like one. It's hard to take advantage of the loopholes.

When the time comes, people will form a monopoly position, and it will be whatever it is.

Even if the box office is 60% or 70%, you have to listen obediently, otherwise you don't want to release it in Hong Kong.

This is simply the back road of the production company.

……

Wu Siyuan, Pan Disheng, Deng Guangrong...... The studios were dumbfounded when they saw the news.

No one expected Han Jin to make this move and kill them in an instant.

"My mom, fortunately, I've already talked to Han Jin."

Wu Siyuan let out a sigh of relief.

If he hadn't talked to Han Jin about joining in advance, he would really be crazy now.

After the three-line joint screening, the films produced by the three major film companies are light. It's enough for these theaters to be released.

When the time comes, why should people give other production companies a chance.

But I haven't signed an agreement before, I don't know if people still admit it?!

Wu Siyuan thought about it and hurriedly called Han Jin.

"Hey, Brother Siyuan, why are you so free and remember to call me?"

Han Jin said with a smile.

"How about it, is the filming of "Extralegal Affairs" still smooth, when will it be completed, I will keep it for you."

Listening to Han Jin's words, he was still so enthusiastic. Wu Siyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Jin Shao, I read today's newspaper. Your hand is so big, you want to unite Golden Harvest and Princess Jin? ”

Wu Siyuan said with a smile.

"It's an amazing big plan."

"You know about it, too?"

Han Jin smiled and said,

"Actually, it's not that simple, it's just the media spreading it."

"You also know what happened to Jiahe and Xinyicheng before."

"How can I easily calm down the conflict because of my intervention?"

Wu Siyuan couldn't help but smile when he heard Han Jin say this.

"However, there is little energy. As a result, life is hard for us as producers. ”

"No, don't worry."

Han Jin saw that Wu Siyuan had concerns, and couldn't help but smile and said.

"In fact, if the union can really succeed, Hong Kong filmmakers can unite at that time. Jointly open overseas markets. ”

"Brother Siyuan, you also want to go to Japan with your own films, right?"

Wu Siyuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Han Jin say this.

"Of course I want to, but is it really possible?"

"Of course."

Han Jin nodded.

"If we Hong Kong people are united, there will be no enemy to us in the entire East Asian market."

"Japanese films have long declined, and Taiwanese films have also declined."

"As for South Korea and Southeast Asian countries, they are even more lagging behind."

"Our Hong Kong film industry is a well-deserved boss in this area."

"But if there are frequent infighting and consume your own energy, when the time comes, when the time comes, then we will be dead."

"That's why I thought about uniting the three major companies."

"Brother Siyuan, you are also a person of insight, what do you think of my idea?"

Wu Siyuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Han Jin's words.

He really didn't expect a young man like Han Jin to have such a mind.

made him, an old filmmaker, ashamed of himself.

"Awesome, awesome."

Wu Siyuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Jin Shao, your idea is indeed great."

Han Jin smiled.

"Also, if the three are united, a number of unqualified film companies will be eliminated in the future."

"The market for the best Hong Kong films."

"Brother Siyuan, you also know that now movies follow the trend and make films."

"Many themes have just been shown, and they have been collapsed by a large number of bad movies."

"If the three companies can say no to these bad films, then the originality of Hong Kong films will be greatly enhanced."

"In addition, there are cases where some film companies are in arrears of remuneration."

"The actor doesn't keep the contract. Privately jumping to the situation. ”

"If the three are united, coupled with a reasonable mechanism, these situations will be greatly improved."

"When the time comes, the cancer parasitic on Hong Kong films will be removed, and our Hong Kong films will be better displayed."

"An idealistic and aspiring filmmaker like Brother Siyuan. in order to be able to get a larger exhibition space. ”

"What do you think?"

After listening to Han Jin's words, Wu Siyuan couldn't help but smile and clap his hands.

Originally, he also thought that this strategy of three-line joint screening was not to give these producers a way to live.

But hearing Han Jin say this, he felt that this strategy was very good.

Hong Kong movies do have a lot of drawbacks now.

For example, the actor does not respect the contract, hides after receiving the salary, or goes to other scenes, so that the film can no longer be filmed.

Like when he was filming "Dangkou Beach", he originally invited Chen Guantai to play the starring role.

As a result, he didn't say goodbye halfway through the shooting.

Wu Siyuan was so depressed that he almost jumped off the building.

Because the leading actor is gone, the movie is bound to be unable to be made.

Hundreds of thousands of investments smashed into the water. Not even a splash.

That's all his hard-earned money.

But because Chen Guantai didn't show up, he just didn't have a trick to live or die.

In the end, I finally asked for a stand-in, and I fooled this scene.

and his popular young student Li Yuanba.

After starring in "Dragon Ninja" became popular, he also began to make noise about terminating the contract.

even found someone to beat Wu Siyuan violently, almost killing him on the streets of Taipei.

It took a year of rest to recover.

Wu Siyuan hates the phenomenon of actors not abiding by the contract, and he also can't tolerate the black X club's entry into the entertainment industry.

Now when I heard Han Jin say that the three-line joint screening may solve this drawback, he immediately raised his hands in favor.

Because the actors do not abide by the contract, it is mainly against these small film companies.

Big film companies like Golden Harvest, New Arts City, and Yongsheng. has such a high status in the circle and has such a big momentum.

The actor did not dare to disobey the contract. Otherwise, I don't know how to be played to death.

But a small company like Wu Siyuan is not strong, and it is likely to shoot one or two dramas a year.

Each play uses almost half of the company's funds.

In this way, if the actors do not abide by the contract, they will run away in the middle of the filming, and they simply cannot afford to lose.

When the time comes. Even if it is a lawsuit, it will drag on for a year and a half.

The movies are all yellow, and the companies are all out of business.

Therefore, when this kind of thing happens, the boss has to keep his voice down, and he can't wait to kneel and beg the actor to come back and continue filming.

Wu Siyuan has encountered this kind of thing several times. I really feel that my old face is lost.

I paid for someone to film, but I still have to pretend to be my grandson to serve these actors, which is really embarrassing.

So he's in favor of it.

And film companies are also in arrears with actors' salaries in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong film companies are generally paid in four installments.

The first time is a deposit, the second time is two days after joining the group, the third time is halfway through the shooting, and the fourth shooting is completed.

That's the case with most studios.

However, some film companies will leave in order to get a vote, or in order to save money, they will lose the money for the fourth time.

In this way, a large amount of money can be withheld.

And whether it is the actors or the behind-the-scenes staff, they naturally suffer.

It's just for that little money, and it doesn't count as a lawsuit.

If you don't go to court, it's too much of a loss.

Therefore, many people are complaining.

Wu Siyuan himself has never owed others a salary.

But he knows that many film companies have this problem.

Let the actors, directors, and screenwriters ...... Very uncomfortable.

If they can't get the money they deserve, how can they have a good work attitude.

At that time, the actors will not be distracted by their performances, the directors will not be strict, and the others will also be in a passable attitude.

It's no wonder that bad movies aren't produced.

"Jin Shao, if you can really do what you say, then I definitely support you."

Wu Siyuan raised his hands in agreement.

"Thank you, Brother Siyuan."

Han Jin said with a smile.

"Rest assured, even if one day the three-line screening is successful, we will formulate a series of rules and regulations."

"When the time comes, no one should think about covering the sky with one hand."

"Well, if it can be like this, so much the better."

Wu Siyuan said happily. (To be continued!)
