Han Jin doesn't know much about Zheng Wenya, because she has quit the film industry very early, and she is engaged in her own golf career full-time, and has become a famous Hong Kong Chinese women's golf coach, and there is even Premier Zhu RJ among the students she taught.

But what he knows is that Zheng Wenya is a very outstanding woman who dares to act. In the 80s, when the social atmosphere was still relatively conservative, he even published his own half-naked photo book, which was a sensation at the time. However, there are more positive reviews than bad reviews, which also makes Zheng Wenya show off.

He also knows that the prototype of the trophy "Goddess of Starlight" of the Hong Kong Film Awards is the Miss Zheng Wenya in front of him. Being selected as a model to be the winner of the Academy Awards trophy shows how great her proportions are.

"Miss Zheng, you are so beautiful, you deserve to be the champion of Miss Hong Kong." Han Jin said with a smile again.

"Thank you," Zheng Wenya smiled slightly, "Mr. Han, you are also very handsome." ”

"Well, Miss Zheng, can I have a cup of coffee for you?" Han Jin asked with a smile again.

He doesn't like to use his brain very much now, like when he chased Chen Yulian, Zhao Yazhi, Zhong Chuhong and others before, he also deliberately created opportunities to impress people's hearts, but now he prefers to choose to go straight to the point. It's okay, if it doesn't work, pull it down, anyway, he has more women now, one more is not more, and one less is not less.

Zheng Wenya heard him say this, but she couldn't help but feel a little funny. She was born in 60, and like Han Jin, she was born on Valentine's Day on February 14, six years older than him.

So when she heard Han Jin invite her for coffee, the scene that came to her mind was. A runny little kid asks for a kiss on his own. It's so much fun to be pursued by a hairy kid who is six years younger than me.

Zheng Wenya couldn't help but be stunned, then nodded with a smile, "Okay~"

Han Jin's first impression of her was good, she was handsome and talented, although she was a little younger and didn't quite meet her own requirements, but it didn't hurt to have a relationship.

Han Jin couldn't help but smile when he saw her agree. "Great. Then I'll make an appointment with you. ”

asked for Zheng Wenya's pager, and Han Jin then went to entertain the reporters from all walks of life who came to cheer today.

Zheng Wenya saw him wandering among the crowds, greeting many guests and friends with ease, without the frivolity and impetuousness of the young man. She couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Zheng Wenya still likes more mature and stable men. Originally, she thought Han Jin was too young. I don't want to give him this chance yet. But now it seems that the hairless mouth is not necessarily unstable.

……

After the opening ceremony of "Why Have Me", Han Jin immediately called Yu Zheng. Let her help contact Zhang Guozhong to discuss the acquisition of the shadow dancer.

Yu Zheng is now following up on the line of Shaw Brothers, and now he hears that Han Jin wants to buy a shadow dancer, and he can't help but have some doubts about his whimsical style of doing things.

"Jin Shao, if you don't think I'm too talkative, I want to ask, why did you buy Shadow Dancer? As far as I know, it's just a humble economic company. Yu Zheng asked suspiciously.

There are not many brokerage companies in Hong Kong, and many of them are not formal. Big-name stars are generally signed with the three major film and television companies, such as Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and New Art City. In addition, record companies such as Polygram and Huaxing have also signed economic contracts with artists.

Because these companies have abundant capital, great influence, and are rich and powerful, it is difficult for ordinary brokerage companies to compete with them, and it also leads to the poor development of Hong Kong's brokerage companies and their lack of great prospects.

For example, Shadow Dancer is such a small brokerage company, which may have signed more than ten or twenty artists, but because of no money, no power and no connections, it can basically only take on small CA sex, such as going to the night club to perform, attending the opening ceremony and other small jobs.

Because Yu Zheng was the emcee of the event before, he had a lot of contact with these small brokerage companies, so he naturally knew what their quality was. I can only follow behind the big company and pick up some crumbs that people don't want to eat. Big companies eat meat, they can't even gnaw bones, they can only drink soup. Therefore, I feel very puzzled that Han Jin wants to invest in the acquisition of Shadow Dancer.

Han Jin smiled, "YT, in fact, I just want to recruit Zhang Guozhong, Li Xiaolin, and Zhou Yan. Knowing that they have this company, they can buy it directly, and it will save the trouble of going back and forth. ”

Yu Zheng listened to it, "Aren't you afraid that Zhou Yan is a 'box office poison'?" ”

"Of course I'm not afraid, I know he's not box office poison. This is what those media deliberately disgusted him for the sake of sales. Han Jin said with a smile.

Yu Zheng also smiled, "Well, I know that you know heroes and value heroes, although Zhou Run's previous movies were not good at the box office and were criticized, his acting skills are actually very good." Well, I'll help you get in touch and see. ”

"Well, I'm sorry for you." Han Jin nodded, "By the way, is there any news about the sale of theaters over there at Shaw Brothers?" ”

"I've already met Sir Shao, but he hasn't spoken to me yet, neither denying nor admitting it, and I think he's probably still hesitating. After all, that was the cause he had fought for all his life, and he was reluctant to give up now. Yu Zheng said again.

"I see, you continue to keep an eye on me, and tell me as soon as there is news." Han Jin said again, "In addition, take precautions, send someone to inspect these theaters under the Shaw Brothers, and turn around and hand over all the jù to me." ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to investigate right away." Yu Zheng nodded.

……

Just when Han Jin was planning to buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Shao Yifu was also thinking about selling the cinemas.

This cinema chain has been established by him since the fifties, and it has been thirty years now. Thirty years, there are several thirty years in this life, and these theaters are his life's work. Now if you want to sell it, how to give it up is the same as ripping the meat of your heart.

But if you don't sell it, the burden is heavy. Now Shaw Brothers is no longer filming new films, and the movies released are all from other film companies, such as Golden Harvest, Yongsheng, Darong and so on.

If you release a play from another film company, you have to be controlled by others. When the time comes, if people want to give you a copy, they will give you a copy, and if they don't want to give you a copy, your theater will not have a good show, and you will have to lose money at that time. This is how Lei Juekun's Lisheng Cinema Line was almost collapsed, so they finally invested in the establishment of branches such as Xinyicheng and Yongjia.

Shao Yifu I was so strong that he didn't want to be controlled by others. Instead of going to others to ask for a copy with an old face, it is better to sell the theater directly, out of sight and out of mind. And he thinks that film exhibitions are no longer as profitable as TV.

He helped Jiahe and Xinyicheng settle the accounts. knows that Xinyicheng is now making money although most of the films are profitable. But the annual profit is only 20%.

Because he only has an advantage in Hong Kong, he has to be controlled by others in Nanyang and Taiwan. In Hong Kong, he cooperated with the Golden Princess Cinema Line, and he could get a relatively generous share.

But in Nanyang, Taiwan and other places, he has to be subject to local film companies. A drama that was a big hit in Hong Kong. It may be that the overseas copyright is only a few million Hong Kong dollars. This one is nothing new at all. Zhou Yan's "The True Color of Heroes" Hong Kong box office is more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars. The Thai film company bought it for only 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Now Hong Kong films in Nanyang and Taiwan are directly sold out of copyrights, and there is no account-sharing model in later generations. So whether the film makes money or not depends entirely on luck. Therefore, the salary of a star like Cheng Long who can sell the port is so high, because the filmmaker trusts his film, so the buyout price can be very high.

Because of the lack of blockbuster stars, many films are not sold as high as Golden Harvest, and the copyrights obtained in Nanyang and Taiwan are not too profitable.

In comparison, Golden Harvest is a cut above New Art City. In addition to Cheng Long's best-selling position, people like Hong Jingbao and Yuan Biao can also be independent. In addition to the two traditional box offices in Taiwan and Nanyang, Golden Harvest's films are also very popular in Japan, the United States, Europe and other places.

Cheng Long is a popular movie star in Japan second only to Han Jin, and Japanese fans come to Hong Kong to see him every day.

In addition, Golden Harvest's investment in the United States to shoot "Cannonball Speed", "Weilong Detective", etc., has also further developed its market in North America, and has also made friends with film giants such as Warner Bros. Golden Harvest's films can therefore enter the United States, although the copyright buyout is only a few hundred thousand dollars, but the trickle is also a large amount of income.

However, Sir Shao also knows that Golden Harvest has invested in too many films, but not every film can be a blockbuster. Like Xinyicheng, there are almost no loss-making movies, because they implement the "seven-person struggle team" creation system. Each film is co-curated by these seven people, the stories are rigorously scrutinized, and most of them are urban comedies, and the box office is basically not too bad.

However, Golden Harvest pursues a satellite company system, and Golden Harvest only invests and does not care about other things. As a result, it is inevitable that there will be some bad movies, and the defective rate is very high. This also directs movies that make money to make a lot of money, and movies that lose money will lose money. In addition, Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, Yuan Biao and others now have a relatively strong appetite, and a shot is a large-scale production of millions or even tens of millions, which makes Jiahe also face great financial pressure.

Shao Yifu has been making movies for nearly 50 years, and he naturally knows everything inside. Now the remuneration of actors is getting higher and higher, the cost of movies is getting higher and higher, and the risk of film companies is getting higher and higher.

In the past, first-line actors like Di Long and Jiang Dawei were only paid 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, but now first-line stars like Cheng Long are paid three or four million Hong Kong dollars, plus box office dividends and so on, it is definitely more than 5 million. In the past, a million movies were considered a big investment, but now a movie of 10 million can be called a big investment.

In the past, film companies made a movie, because of the low cost, counting the local box office and the box office in other cities, they could basically make money. But now that the cost is so high, coupled with so many film companies, and the competition is so fierce, even good films may not be able to achieve high box office, let alone those bad movies.

Therefore, the risk of the film company has become bigger and bigger, but outsiders see that the movie is so profitable, with a box office of tens of millions at every turn, and they still think that it is a very profitable big deal, and they are still flocking into the market, but in fact, it is just a transaction of beating drums and passing flowers. Once the market goes bad one day, these people who enter the market will suffer.

Shaw Yifu has seen through what is going on here, so he began to gradually shift his career focus to the field of television a few years ago. Now after all, the time has come to close the Shaw Brothers and sell the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, although Sir Shao is reluctant in his heart, but he also knows the truth that when it is broken, it will be broken.

"Sixth brother, it's time to make a decision. When the interruption continues, it is chaotic. Fang Yihua persuaded Shao Yifu.

Although she is the director of the production department of Shaw Brothers, because Shaw Brothers has no films to shoot now, she is also very boring as the director of the production department, so it is better to transfer to TVB.

There are a lot of people there now, and if she goes there, she can become a character under one person and above ten thousand people, much stronger than the Shaw Brothers in the twilight.

The most critical point is that when the Shaw Brothers closes the door, those old courtiers can catch up and open it, and no one will reprimand her with the old courtiers.

"Okay, let it go and say I'm going to sell Shaw Brothers Cinemas." Shao Yifu finally nodded. (To be continued......)
