Chapter 803: The sinister Zou Wenhuai
Xu Guanjie lectured at the Great Wall Art School for two consecutive weeks, after Wang Zichuan heard about it, he knew it in his heart, and immediately arranged for the staff to contact Xu Guanjie, he still liked Xu Guanjie's name of 'God of Song', and at present, Wang Zichuan is still in contact with Deng Lijun, and they can dig them up to Red Star Records, and the absolute value of the record company has doubled.
When Wang Zichuan wooed Xu Guanjie, Golden Harvest also received the news, Zou Wenhuai and others were dumbfounded, and couldn't help but guess Xu Guanwen's position, Xu's four masters, they were only afraid of Xu Guanwen alone, this is an all-round talent, creating an era of Hong Kong film comedy.
Several high-level executives of Jiahe gathered in the conference room, Cai Yongchang, who was sitting first on the left, frowned slightly, he knew Xu Guanwen's ability best, and was most sensitive to Xu Guanwen's abrupt decision, and asked out loud: "Xu Guanwen has always been in Jiahe and Debao, what does he mean by doing this?" β
Liang Feng said coldly: "Needless to say, now that Tengfei Entertainment is in full swing, Xu Guanwen also wants to hug Wang Zichuan's thigh!" β
Liu Lianghua reminded: "Didn't the Xu brothers fall out? Xu Guanjie is close to Tengfei Entertainment, this is not necessarily Xu Guanwen's attitude, Xu Guanwen has recently had a hot fight with Debao Company, how can he take refuge in Tengfei Entertainment? β
Hear' The Xu brothers fell out' words, everyone's faces were a little unnatural, Xu's film company was a few years ago, and once threatened Jiahe Film Company, Xu Guanwen was full of confidence, and wanted to break away from Jiahe to fight the world alone, at this critical moment, Jiahe dragged Xu's film company to pay a large amount of dividends, while provoking internal contradictions in Xu's company, until Mecca poached Xu Guanjie, Jiahe found a reason to give Xu's film company a fatal blow, greedy for all dividends, poached a large number of core characters, Xu's film company's vitality was greatly damaged, Xu Guanwen was deeply hit, and gradually faded out of the entertainment industryγ If it weren't for Pan Disheng's heavy investment to invite Xu Guanwen out of the mountain, Xu Guanwen would have already worked full-time behind the scenes.
Zou Wenhuai sighed: "The original action was too impatient, causing the Xu brothers to leave Germany, and now it is impossible to recover. β
Cai Yongchang said angrily: "Xu Guanwen and Cheng Long both received the favor of Jiahe, and betrayed us when Jiahe was in the most difficult time. It's all hateful, I just knew that they would be left to fend for themselves, especially Cheng Long, we spent so much money, he didn't even say hello, he took refuge in Wang Zichuan, their brothers didn't have a good thing. β
"I knew that I would have given them a little money, but now the situation is so stiff......" Liu Lianghua laughed at himself and squatted for a moment. He said thoughtfully: "This is probably the result that Wang Zichuan is most willing to see." β
Liang Feng covered his forehead and said to himself: "Why do you mention Wang Zichuan every time, as long as Jiahe is in trouble, there must be Wang Zichuan among them." This kid is the Golden Harvest Buster! β
Zou Wenhuai was taken aback, thought about it carefully, and sure enough, Xu Guanwen, Hong Jinbao, and Cheng Long betrayed Jiahe. There are the shadows of Wang Zichuan in the back, especially Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, if it weren't for Wang Zichuan's confusion. To support them, Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long would never dare to do this.
"You shouldn't have used Huairou in the first place!" Zou Wenhuai regretted it greatly, Wang Zichuan was young and vigorous, and his methods were fierce, so he didn't repay the kindness at the beginning, and dug his corner three or four times, which was really revenge...... Not for the Son of Man!
Liu Lianghua comforted: "It's useless to regret it now, let's think about the current situation, Jiahe has encountered a crisis without Cheng Long, and now Xu Guanwen intends to join Tengfei Entertainment, Wang Zichuan is not even more proud, we must come up with a countermeasure!" β
Cai Yongchang echoed: "Ah Huai, if it goes on like this, the theater line can't hold on to it first, in the past year, the theater attendance rate has gradually declined, and now the new film is released, the attendance rate in the first half of the month is less than sixty percent, since the establishment of the Golden Harvest Cinema Line, it is the first time to encounter such a situation." β
Zou Wenhuai was shocked: "Less than sixty percent, how is it possible?" Even if Tengfei Entertainment's film is a blockbuster, we don't know that this is the case, right? Besides, I have made a few comedies recently, how can the attendance rate be so low? β
Liang Feng said solemnly: "Did Wang Zichuan use the next means, that's what the Dian clan did in the first place." β
Cai Yongchang shook his head and said helplessly: "The specific situation is still under investigation, I don't estimate that it is all due to Tengfei Entertainment, last year Tengfei Entertainment released several blockbuster films one after another, breaking two highest box office records one after another, and the momentum is huge, our Golden Harvest still persists, and the theater attendance rate has increased, and the box office of "Strange Yuan" and "Police Story" has exceeded 35 million, and now it has dropped so much, which is not logical or reasonable, and there must be something strange in it. β
Liu Lianghua was puzzled: "What's going on?" β
Zou Wenhuai's expression was stern, and he said cautiously: "You must find out, maybe it's Wang Zichuan's conspiracy again, last time he built a small cinema in villages all over Hong Kong, robbing us of a large number of fans, this time he must not be allowed to succeed again." β
"Small theater!" Liang Feng exclaimed, he remembered that his son had recently mentioned an interesting incident to him.
"What's wrong?"
Zou Wenhuai and the others glanced at Liang Feng, complaining in their hearts that he was making a fuss, Liang Feng was in charge of the post-production system, and he was considered a behind-the-scenes person, and the theater was managed by Cai Yongchang, and even Cai Yongchang didn't find out what Liang Feng couldn't know.
Liang Feng said slowly: "Maybe I know what's going on?" β
Cai Yongchang exclaimed, "What? β
Liu Lianghua's voice was full of interest: "You know? β
Zou Wenhuai couldn't bear his surprise and asked directly, "What's going on?" β
Liang Feng said with a smile: "A few days ago, my son and daughter-in-law came to see me, and they talked to me, in which they talked about the sudden construction of many small theaters in the urban area, these theaters are simply arranged, there are private rooms in the screening hall, and most of the theaters are surrounded by restaurants, cafes and other places, with many functions......"
Zou Wenhuai was surprised: "Are there many such theaters?" β
Liang Feng said: "It's a lot! β
Cai Yongchang was shocked and said: "I have also heard this, there is one around the Kowloon Grand Theater, but what is the use of this kind of mini theater, how can it threaten the huge Golden Harvest Cinema Line!" β
Zou Wenhuai instructed: "Yongchang, you go back and immediately investigate the attendance rate of the miniature theater, these bastards are too much, the hand is getting longer and longer, we can endure the production of investment films, if you want to get involved in the theater chain, it is a fantasy, such a mess, the entire film industry will have to bury them." β
Cai Yongchang also understands the strictness of things, there are so many Hong Kong movie fans, the more theaters open, the less money everyone makes, and when the theaters swell to a certain number, everyone will end up together.
Liang Feng sighed: "It's all the unhealthy atmosphere caused by Wang Zichuan, if it weren't for his crazy expansion of the scale of Oriental Cinemas, blindly refreshing box office records, and causing turmoil in the industry, how could so many wealthy businessmen pay attention to the film industry." β
Liu Lianghua reminded: "Ah Huai, should we contact Tengfei Entertainment to jointly suppress the miniature theater, or sabotage Tengfei Entertainment first to win over Xu Guanwen and others, according to my analysis, Xu Guanwen is still hesitating." β
Zou Wenhuai said solemnly: "Which of these two is more important?" β
Cai Yongchang said: "Those small theaters are more threatening, no matter how strong Tengfei Entertainment is, we are not afraid of Golden Harvest, as long as fans like to watch movies, Golden Harvest will not be able to fall, but these small theaters are different, all over the city, the threat is better than that of the Oriental Cinema Line, vicious competition, laissez-faire, Golden Harvest attendance will only get lower and lower." β
Liang Feng nodded and said: "The Oriental Cinema Line has been established for a short time, the majority of the cinemas are in the suburbs, and most of the cinemas of our Jiahe Cinema Line are in the urban area. β
Zou Wenhuai said fiercely: "In this case, put aside the matter of Tengfei Entertainment, let's crack down on these small theaters first." β
Liu Lianghua said: "The crew of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has been prepared and can start shooting at any time, and the account funds were divided into the crew as early as a month ago, that is to say, in the next year, Golden Harvest's accounts will be tight, and our strength alone may not be enough to eliminate these theaters." β
Zou Wenhuai closed his eyes and thought for a while, slowly opened his eyes, and said with a smile: "I believe that it is not only Jiahe Cinemas that have encountered such problems, Tengfei Entertainment's Oriental Cinemas, Debao Company's Xinbao Cinemas, and Shuangnan Cinemas...... These cinemas will be affected. β
Cai Yongchang was surprised: "Ah Huai, do you mean to unite all the theaters in Hong Kong to fight the rising small theaters together?" β
"That's it, isn't this plan going to work?" Zou Wenhuai was up and down in his heart, the idea was put forward by him, but he didn't know much about the theater line.
Cai Yongchang sighed: "I'm afraid that the small cinema line has scruples, not to mention our Golden Harvest Cinema Line, the Oriental Cinema Line of Tengfei Entertainment is notorious, and the Hong Kong Cinema is guarding against Chen Baixiang like a thief." β
Liu Lianghua said with a smile: "That's right, Chen Baixiang has been crazy about expanding the Oriental Cinema Line in recent years, and even resorted to a lot of indiscriminate means, and even Lei Juekun's Lisheng Cinema was purchased at a low price. β
Cai Yongchang was embarrassed: "But the alliance lacks the Oriental Cinema Line, which is unreasonable, and when we and the small theater fight to lose both, let Wang Zichuan pick up the cheap." β
Zou Wenhuai gritted his teeth and said: "I will personally talk to Wang Zichuan, after the alliance, all the theater merchants will sign a contract to maintain the scale of the existing theater, and no one is allowed to build a new theater without permission, so that they can always rest assured." β
Liang Feng said: "Will Wang Zichuan agree in this way?" It can be seen from his style that he wants to dominate the entertainment industry with the theater chain, and he is not allowed to expand the theater line, and he doesn't want his life? β
Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "When the time comes, all the cinemas will agree, and I am afraid that he will not succeed, I also hope that Wang Zichuan will refuse and be the enemy of the whole Hong Kong cinema chain, and then these small cinemas will only rely on Golden Harvest to balance Tengfei Entertainment, although the Oriental Cinema Line is known as the largest cinema chain in Hong Kong, but compared with all the cinema chains in Hong Kong, it is not worth mentioning."
