Chapter 708: Zou Wenhuai's counterattack
At noon on August 29th, the final release of "Truant Dragon" was officially drawn, and the attendance rate rose again in the last three days, with a total box office of 73.72 million, breaking the box office record of "Let the Bullets Fly", causing a sensation, and filmmakers from all over Southeast Asia gathered in Hong Kong to compete for the introduction of the film "Truant Dragon", which can receive 70 million box office in Hong Kong, and the effect is certainly not worse than "Let the Bullets Fly". Everyone crowded into Tengfei Entertainment, and half of them were newcomers.
After the rise of Chinese films, the market in Southeast Asia is comparable to Hollywood blockbusters, in Singapore, Taiwan and other places, and even steadily overpowering American blockbusters, Hong Kong films in Japan and South Korea have become more and more influential, and local films have been defeated and gradually competed with Hollywood blockbusters.
Especially in South Korea, South Korea's policy in the past few years is a protection policy, the government wants to be like Hollywood, only to fund those big groups, so only companies allowed by the state can make movies, a bit like the state licensing system, just a few large enterprises cultivated by the state can do it, and after doing it, you can change the release quota of a foreign film, because of the dictatorship, the Korean people like to contact foreign things, and foreign movies are 100% profitable.
With the passage of time, the external environment gradually changes, in the eighties South Korea went through the miracle of the Han River, the economy has been very developed, most of the rural population moved to the urban area, seeing that the 1988 Olympics is coming, hand in hand "handinhand" is about to appear, so the South Korean dictator claims that there must be an open attitude to face the world, so at this time Chun Doo-hwan, his policy is the 3S policy, the first sports, the second screen. The third sex uses too many of men's hormones in this aspect, so the screen is full of feelings like bar hostesses. Erotic films, so love. There is a lot of development of color films, and films that are really deep and thoughtful are very suppressed.
Hong Kong films led by Tengfei Entertainment have taken advantage of the opportunity of South Korea's market development to gradually enter the Korean market, especially "The True Color of Heroes", "Lucky Stars", "Plan A", "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother", "Let the Bullets Fly", "Summer Lucky Stars", and other films have sold well one after another, cultivating a group of stars, and the Korean people have gradually accepted Hong Kong films.
Except for South Korea. The Japanese film market reached its peak in the sixties, with 1.2 billion moviegoers per year, although with the rise of television, the film market immediately shrank by half, but Japan's economy is developing rapidly, the market potential is huge, and the government is subservient to the US government and is willing to be a little brother. Unable to resist American blockbusters, they naturally dare not make real industrial protection policies, coupled with the decline of local Japanese directors one after another, Hong Kong films are in full swing. The music and film circles are closely related to Japan, so much so that the Hong Kong entertainment industry has developed an idea that Japanese people make the best money!
The time and place are favorable, and Hong Kong films have entered a real golden age. It has attracted the attention of the world and is known as the 'Hollywood of the East', especially the two companies of Tengfei Entertainment and Golden Harvest Pictures. The film can be distributed to all over the world at any time, and the distribution channels can be comparable to Hollywood blockbusters, mining the maximum value of the film, according to the statistics of the Finance Department of Tengfei Entertainment, the film "Let the Bullets Fly" has a total global box office of 530 million Hong Kong dollars, and the net profit of Tengfei Entertainment is 210 million Hong Kong dollars!
The rise of the Hong Kong film industry, compared with the achievements of Tengfei Entertainment, Golden Harvest Pictures is not worth mentioning, the films released were completely suppressed by Tengfei Entertainment, and the overseas market was gradually surpassed.
Golden Harvest, Cai Yongchang stubbornly reported the information of "Truant Dragon", Tengfei Entertainment succeeded again, breaking the Hong Kong box office record, and dealt a fatal blow to Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest from Zou Wenhuai to ordinary employees, I have to admit that Golden Harvest has been surpassed by Tengfei Entertainment, whether it is Hong Kong or foreign markets, the influence is not as good as before, the films released by Golden Harvest, although they make money, but no movie has more influence than Tengfei Entertainment.
Zou Wenhuai was stunned for a while, and then lost his mind and said: "Really broke the box office record?" β
Cai Yongchang smiled bitterly: "It's absolutely true, our people on the Oriental Cinema Line have been squatting for a month, and Tengfei Entertainment is cheating, we can know it as soon as possible." β
"Alas!" Zou Wenhuai sighed and said Mu Ran: "I have already prepared in my heart, by the way, last time I asked you to inquire about Zhou Xingchi, what is the origin of this kid?" It seems to be a stone that jumped out, filming "The Saint of Gambling" broke the box office record, and now "Truant Dragon" has broken the box office record, this kid is specifically rushing to the box office record? β
Liu Lianghua added: "Tengfei Entertainment's famous work "Nightclub" also has his figure. β
Cai Yongchang's information quickly appeared in his mind, and introduced: "Zhou Xingchi was originally an employee of TVB, and he has been in the industry for four or five years, and he has been playing tricks and is not famous. β
Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "Uncle Sixth is gone again, Li Xiaolong and Xu Guanwen were picked up by us, and now there is another Zhou Xingchi, why can't we notice it?" β
Cai Yongchang hurriedly explained: "Ah Huai, according to the news I heard, when Wang Zichuan was down, he was friends with Zhou Xingchi and Liu Dehua, and one of them was a chicken dog ascending to heaven, and these two people completely supported Wang Zichuan's vice-president, otherwise how could they be so famous!" β
Liu Lianghua said indifferently: "They are still talented themselves, otherwise why didn't Wang Zichuan support others to take the position, I'm afraid there were more than these two friends when he was down!" β
Zou Wenhuai became interested and asked, "Before Wang Zichuan started his business, what other friends did he have?" β
Cai Yongchang hesitated: "I'm afraid it's too much, Wang Zichuan is righteous and very good at winning people's hearts, Wang Jin only cooperated with him once, and he served him desperately, and that Chen Baixiang, just listened to Wang Jin's casual talk, and joined Tengfei Entertainment." β
After the rise of Tengfei Entertainment, the relationship between Wang Zichuan, Chen Baixiang, and Wang Jin has been continuously excavated, as if it has become a typical anecdote.
There are various versions, all of which set off the brilliance of Wang Zichuan, and there are also funny versions, saying that Wang Jin and Chen Baixiang saw Wang Zichuan for the first time, bowed their heads and surrendered completely.
Cai Yongchang's words did not satisfy Zou Wenhuai, and he frowned and said: "Friends outside the circle have nothing to do with us, talk about his situation in wireless, Wang Zichuan is a person who is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, and the friends he can make must have potential." β
Zhou Xingchi's example made Zou Wenhuai frightened, this person has too much potential, he made three films when he debuted, and broke the box office record three times, no one will deny Zhou Xingchi's future achievements, he is definitely one of the pinnacles, comparable to Cheng Long and Zhou Yunfa.
Cai Yongchang thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Wang Zichuan has a lot of friends in TVB, the best is the five tiger generals, who are basically inseparable, as well as Weng Meiling and Zhong Yihong, Weng Meiling quit the entertainment industry and entered politics, Zhong Yihong joined Tengfei Entertainment, and his fame is getting bigger and bigger." β
"Five Tiger Generals? Are the five young people who fell out with TVB a few years ago? At that time, things were so big, how could Zou Wenhuai not know that he was deflated, and he was also very happy.
Liu Lianghua said excitedly: "Among the five tiger generals, only Liu Dehua has joined Tengfei Entertainment, we can try the other four tigers!" β
Zou Wenhuai nodded again and again, this is also a helpless way, Xu Guanwen, Hong Jinbao, Yuan Di, and Cheng Long left Jiahe one after another, and he can't find an actor who wants to support the faΓ§ade now.
Cai Yongchang said: "The other four tigers have no achievements except for Liang Chaowei, Huang Yuehua still makes dramas, Miao Qiaowei replaces Qin Xianglin in the Five Lucky Stars, but except for the Five Lucky Stars series, Miao Qiaowei did not take on other films, not to mention Tang Zhenye, who acted in more than a dozen films, none of which could make money." β
Liu Lianghua asked: "That guy named Liang Chaowei is still on TVB?" β
Cai Yongchang nodded and sneered: "Who doesn't know the Wireless Overlord Treaty, unless we personally go out to dig people, Liang Chaowei will work on Shaw's side for at least five years." β
"Just dig Liang Chaowei!" Zou Wenhuai quickly made a decision, this time he couldn't take off entertainment in the lag.
Cai Yongchang was stunned for a moment and reminded: "Liang Chaowei has a contract with TVB, and we are afraid to pay a lot of price for digging him, and our Jiahe and Wei Yifu are not in harmony." β
Zou Wenhuai said helplessly: "I don't know, this time we won't come forward and let Wu Siyuan contact wirelessly." β
"Well, I'll arrange this myself!" Cai Yongchang felt sad for no reason, when did Jiahe become lonely like this, digging a TV drama actor, and the president personally arranged it, and he, the theater manager, pulled the strings.
Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "This plan is not successful, but also to add to the blockage of Wang Zichuan, this kid is too uninteresting, three times twice, we have no power to fight back, the more we resist, the more he suppresses." β
Liu Lianghua persuaded: "I don't think there is any need for Golden Harvest to compete with him, Hong Kong's film company, Tengfei Entertainment can all be wiped out?" I don't think he has that much appetite. β
Cai Yongchang looked at Zou Wenhuai, at present, only the president of Jiahe does not admit defeat, and their subordinates are appointed.
Zou Wenhuai hesitated: "Wait a little longer, there will be news in the mainland soon, if "Shaolin Kid" can defeat "Jingwu Heroes", our Golden Harvest still has a chance to turn over." β
Liu Lianghua and Cai Yongchang nodded together, if Golden Harvest opens up the mainland market, it is not impossible to suppress Tengfei Entertainment. (To be continued......)
