Chapter 809: Forming an Association?

After testing each other, Wang Zichuan and Zou Wenhuai both felt that the other party was prepared and impeccable, and reached a preliminary agreement in a few words, and when it came to the issue of who should lead the alliance, a new round of contention began.

"As we all know, the Oriental Cinema Line is the largest, and none of the Golden Harvest Cinemas, Xinbao Cinemas, Yindu Cinemas, and Anle Cinemas are better than the Oriental Cinemas, so the Oriental Cinemas should be the first of the public cinemas!" Wang Zichuan's exit is to suppress people, the above are Hong Kong's well-known cinemas, Golden Harvest, Xinbao needless to say, Anle Cinema is the Jiang family industry, now by Jiang Zhiqiang, Anle Cinema Line is different from other cinemas, mainly showing Western films, so the competition is the least, Jiang Zhiqiang himself is not famous in Hong Kong, but he is very active abroad, and was once regarded as a representative of the Hong Kong film industry.

Zou Wenhuai smiled coldly, not fooled, and retorted: "Although the Oriental Cinema Line is the largest, most of the theaters are located in remote places, how can a cinema chain like Ah Chuan represent all the cinema chains in Hong Kong?" In my opinion, Golden Harvest Cinemas is of the best quality, and most of the cinemas are located in prosperous areas, which means that Hong Kong cinemas are just right. ”

Wang Zichuan rolled his eyes, Zou Wenhuai This is a sneak change concept, although the main force of the Oriental Cinema Line is located in the suburbs, villages and other places, but the fan loyalty in these areas is much higher than that in the urban area, which can be seen from the attendance rate of the cinema, which is also the main reason why the Oriental Cinema Line is pressing the Jiahe Cinema Line.

"Uncle Huai, since none of us can convince anyone, it is better for us to find the managers of the major cinema chains in Hong Kong and elect the leading cinema chain with one person and one vote, so that it is fair to everyone."

"Elections?" Zou Wenhuai's heart jumped, and he immediately remembered the funny election in Shanghai, where businessmen from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan gathered in Shanghai, and Fok Zhenting vowed to become the president. canvassed votes everywhere, but the final result was unexpected, Wang Zichuan, who has always been inconspicuous, successfully won the championship, and Huo Zhenting did not even become a chairman, so he returned to Hong Kong and closed his door.

Wang Zichuan said with a smile: "Yes! Elections, I think everyone is willing to use this method to elect the desired result. ”

"Ah Chuan, forget the election, there are many cinemas in Hong Kong, among which the Oriental Cinema Line and Golden Harvest Cinema Line are the largest. It is easy to become the target of public criticism, in case outsiders such as Xinbao Cinema Line and Anle Cinema Line fish in troubled waters, we will be embarrassed! Zou Wenhuai's attitude softened, in his mind, Wang Zichuan has too many ghost ideas, and he is very good at buying people's hearts, Jiahe has been established for many years, and he has a lot of enemies, and he has a faint friendship with the managers of major theaters. The election will definitely not be able to elect the Golden Harvest Cinema Line, rather than this, it is better to decide privately, so that you can fight for more interests.

Wang Zichuan saw that Zou Wenhuai was unwilling. I was really relieved in my heart, like Golden Harvest Cinemas, Oriental Cinemas also offended many peers, and now they are united in times of crisis. It doesn't mean that those theaters will vote for the Oriental Cinema Line, in terms of prestige, it is still the highest in Yindu Cinema. Because it has the mainland government standing behind it, if Xinhua News Agency asks, Wang Zichuan, Zou Wenhuai and others have only one way to compromise.

Nowadays, there are four major Chinese cinema lines in Hong Kong: Oriental Cinema Line, Jiahe Cinema Line, Xinbao Cinema Line and the 'Double South Line' owned by the Southern Company, which is now the Yindu Cinema Line, which belongs to the leftist Cinema Line, and the films produced by the Great Wall Film Company, Phoenix Studios, Xinlian Production Company, and Zhongyuan Film Company are all produced by the Great Wall Film Company, Phoenix Studios, Xinlian Production Company, and Zhongyuan Film Company, as well as acting as an agent for Chinese mainland films and Soviet films.

In 1982, the above four companies merged to form Yindu Organization Co., Ltd., although it is registered in Hong Kong, but it is a state-owned film enterprise owned by the mainland government, although it has repeatedly lost money, but it has always been strong, Yindu Cinemas also screened films from other film companies in Hong Kong, but there is a review committee, only films that meet the requirements can be scheduled in Yindu Cinemas, but the cost is also huge, because of political reasons, all films released in Yindu Cinemas cannot be released in Taiwan, and Taiwan will also be closed/ Kill the film company that schedules films in Yindu Cinemas.

Zou Wenhuai gritted his teeth, took a step back, and said, "This time the cinema alliance, we can make it bigger!" ”

Go big! Wang Zichuan became interested, which was also in his interests, and immediately asked, "What is Uncle Huai going to do?" ”

Zou Wenhuai said mysteriously: "Although there is a film association in Hong Kong now, this association is in the nature of a dragon and exists in name only, why don't we take this opportunity to set up a new film association, and all film policies and disputes in the future will be adjudicated by the film association!" ”

Wang Zichuan was taken aback, he didn't expect Zou Wenhuai to have such a big appetite, so in this way, the Film Association became the emperor of all film companies, and the power overrode all film companies, of course, including Tengfei Entertainment.

"Uncle Huai, this is not appropriate, the Hong Kong Governor's Government will not agree."

Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "As long as we agree, what can the government do, and we all know that the Chief Secretary for Administration has intervened in the operation of the film, and a classification system will be introduced soon, which will have a great impact on our film industry." ”

Regarding the film classification system, Wang Zichuan has long heard that the classification system is simply to classify the movie, some films are not watched by children and teenagers, or they need to be accompanied by their parents to enter the cinema, which is bound to affect the box office, but I have to admit that the positive impact of the film classification system is greater than the negative impact.

Zou Wenhuai's eyes flashed with a cunning light, Golden Harvest Pictures because of its investment in the Hollywood blockbuster "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", the capital chain fell into the most difficult moment, and he planned to invest in some low-cost "Fengyue Films", but he did not expect the Hong Kong government to introduce such a grading policy, which greatly affected the interests of Golden Harvest.

Wang Zichuan pondered for a long time and sighed: "The power of the Film Association is too big, and it is not good for us. ”

If you want to say who has the most rights in the Hong Kong film industry, it is none other than Wang Zichuan and Zou Wenhuai, but if you want to talk about who is the most popular, it is hard to say, anyway, Wang Zichuan and Zou Wenhuai are not on the list, Wu Siyuan's support rate is higher than Wang Zichuan and Zou Wenhuai, not a star and a half, the establishment of the Film Association, it must be Wu Siyuan These people have benefited the most.

Zou Wenhuai didn't want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he changed his method and persuaded him: "If the Film Association is established, the Hong Kong government will not be able to restrain us, and we can even negotiate with the Hong Kong government through the Guò Film Association to strive for more preferential policies, and even tax exemptions. ”

Wang Zichuan nodded slowly, and shook his head again, it still does more harm than good, and now Tengfei Entertainment is the most powerful, and a emperor appears on his head for no reason, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Zou Wenhuai's face was anxious, and he blurted out: "Ah Chuan, what do you think, there will be no more missed opportunities, how strong Shaw was back then, the entire film industry in Xiangjiang, the film companies dare not look up, it is so powerful, Shaw has not been able to control the entire industry, now the opportunity is in front of you and me, as long as you nod, you can do what Shaw didn't do, are you really not tempted?" ”

Wang Zichuan said clearly: "If it was two years ago, I would have agreed, now that the Golden Princess and Xinyi City have all closed down, the rising Debao Company and Xinbao Cinema Line are congenitally insufficient, and Anle Cinema Line focuses on Western films and Yindu Institutions are leftist positions, all of which are not to be worried, as soon as the Film Association is established, these forces will be integrated, which is enough to form a fatal threat to the two of us." ”

Zou Wenhuai said: "What if we can control them? ”

"Control them?" Wang Zichuan sneered, and said to Zou Wenhuai word by word: "Uncle Huai, I know that you want to use Wu Siyuan, Deng Guangrong, and Jiang Zhiqiang, but I want to remind you that people are separated from each other, especially Wu Siyuan, who is very ambitious, and his ambition is different from Deng Guangrong and Jiang Zhiqiang, the latter does it as long as he makes money, and the former not only wants money, but also power!" ”

Zou Wenhuai was angry, Wang Zichuan's words he didn't pay attention to a word, he just thought that Wang Zichuan's intention to use Wu Siyuan to balance Tengfei Entertainment was seen through by Wang Zichuan, and said angrily: "Wu Siyuan is a talent cultivated by Jiahe, what kind of character is he, I know best, Deng Guangrong's relationship with you is not unusual, we picked them up, why not jointly control the power supply association!" ”

Wang Zichuan sneered: "If Uncle Huai thinks that Jiahe can set up a film association by himself, I have nothing to say, but if you want to pull Tengfei Entertainment into the water, it is impossible!" ”

Zou Wenhuai said: "This is also good for you, why can't you agree?" ”

Wang Zichuan simply said what was in his heart: "Tengfei Entertainment is already the boss of the industry, why do you want to find a Taishang Huang to be 'nosy', unless the film association is chaired by someone sent by Tengfei Entertainment, otherwise there is no need to talk about it!" ”

"You! I don't believe that you can't eat pork without Butcher Zhang! Zou Wen stomped his feet angrily, although everyone knows the power of Tengfei Entertainment, but so far, no one has said that Tengfei Entertainment surpasses Jiahe, he heard it for the first time, and it came out of Wang Zichuan's mouth, which is not only revealing his scars, but also naked' humiliation, because before that, Jiahe was the leader of the film industry.

Things have come to this point, Wang Zichuan is not allowed to retreat, and threatened again: "If Uncle Huai insists on going his own way, we Tengfei Entertainment will not stand idly by, if you set up a film association, we Tengfei Entertainment will establish a film alliance, and no one can take advantage." ”

Zou Wenhuai's face was flushed, a junior was reckless in front of him, replaced by someone else, and he had to drive him out of the entertainment industry at a price, but Wang Zichuan's power was not smaller than him, and even exceeded, and now he still has to ask others, obviously he is angry, and he can't have a seizure, I haven't experienced this mood for a long time, the last time I was working at the Yi family, Yi Yifu blindly reused Fang Yihua and snubbed him as a production manager.
