By the time the two of them left the restaurant after lunch, Shao Yifu never clearly stated the reason for asking Gu Chen for an appointment, but after chatting for more than an hour, Gu Chen still made Gu Chen understand. Today's date was proposed by Shao Yifu, needless to say, the purpose is naturally to improve the relationship with Gu Chen, so what is the purpose of improving the relationship? This starts with the current situation of TVB. Since last year's highly-anticipated Taiwanese drama "Qianlong the Great" lost again to "Joking about Qianlong", which is also an ATV Taiwanese celebration drama, the audience's confidence in wireless has obviously been greatly impacted, and its performance has shown a sharp decline in a short period of time.

According to a piece of data obtained by Gu Chen a few days ago, by the end of February this year, ATV's share of the Hong Kong TV market had reached 63.4%, and it was actively expanding the market in Taiwan and Southeast Asia, and had achieved good results. In stark contrast, the market share occupied by TVB, which originally dominated the Hong Kong TV market, has shrunk to 22.9%, a figure that even the vast majority of Hong Kong people did not think about a year and a half ago, not to mention Shao Yifu himself. At that time, the Hong Kong TV market share occupied by wireless was still larger than that of the current ATV, it can be said that ATV can only survive under the pressure of wireless, even if there is a single timetable Xiàn out of the momentum of competing with TVB, but the result turned out to be a flash in the pan after all, and ATV is completely at an absolute disadvantage in general.

Not only that, with the collapse of the wireless empire, the brain drain within wireless is becoming more and more stringent, and a large number of outstanding talents have jumped to ATV, including actors and other technical talents. After taking a variety of measures that could not effectively change this status quo, and seeing that ATV was thriving and the TV series that were popular with the audience one after another, Shao Yifu became more and more pessimistic about the future of wireless.

During the period when wireless was gradually declining, Hong Kong films showed a growing prosperity, with the box office hitting new highs in China, and also going out of Hong Kong to dominate other markets in Asia, and even making a lot of money in the European and American markets. Although most of these movies came from Gu Chen's Tang Dynasty Film Company, it did not prevent him from refocusing on movies when TVB's performance was dismal, especially Gu Chen's acquisition of AMC and EGK, two major theater companies in the United States, made him more optimistic about the future of Hong Kong films.

You must know that AMC and EGK are two of the largest cinema companies in the United States, controlling nearly 4O% of the theater resources in the United States, and it is needless to say that such a huge proportion of influence in Hollywood will be much easier than before for Hong Kong films to be released in the United States. So after careful consideration. He decided to put his future focus back on Shaw Brothers.

After selling the theater chain to Gu Chen, Shaw Brothers' film production declined rapidly according to Shao Yifu's plan, and it was almost in a state of semi-shutdown, as evidenced by the fact that only three low-budget films were produced last year. And if you want to make a difference in today's Hong Kong film industry, it is essential to have a good relationship with Gu Chen, the actual overlord of the film industry, so he will pull down his face. Call Gu Chen in person.

Gu Chen is still welcome for Shao Yifu's preparation to make a comeback in the film industry, although the current Hong Kong film industry is no longer the Hong Kong film industry of the sixties and seventies, and the Shaw Brothers is not the film industry hegemon who dominated Hong Kong in the sixties and seventies, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, with the strength of the Shaw Brothers and Shao Yifu's influence and financial resources in the Hong Kong film industry, as long as he focuses on movies, he will definitely be able to make a difference. Again, that's the same sentence. It is absolutely not enough for Hong Kong films to rely on the Tang Dynasty Film Company alone, and it is not one or two large film production companies that can run rampant in the world for Hollywood films, but the entire industrial chain. If Hong Kong films want to compete with Hollywood, the overall exhibition of the entire industry is the king. What Gu Chen wants is only to control the power, but he doesn't want to dominate the entire market, otherwise he won't cooperate with Yongsheng.

Therefore, after lunch, the two talked happily and discussed some specific matters. In the next two days, Gu Chen met with Zou Wenhuai and Xiang Huaqiang respectively. Those paparazzi who had been tracking Gu Chen for a career soon became aware of this unusual phenomenon.

In fact, Gu Chen and Shao Yifu had lunch together at Tan Jiaxuan and were photographed by the paparazzi on the same day, which immediately caused a lot of speculation as soon as it was reported by the media, because of well-known reasons, the relationship between Gu Chen and Shao Yifu is not an exaggeration to describe it in the eyes of everyone, but such two people are eating together, and according to the paparazzi, Gu Chen and Shao Yifu were smiling when they walked out of the box. Obviously, the lunch between the two sides was quite pleasant, which had to make people think about it, there were all kinds of speculations, and some guessed that Gu Chen wanted to poach people from wireless. This kind of speculation has been abandoned by most people, with Gu Chen's current status, what actor is worthy of his personal appearance? What's more, Gu Chen, who had poached people from wireless in the past, had never come forward, and it was impossible for him to meet Shao Yifu directly.

There is some speculation that Gu Chen intends to enter TVB, this speculation is also unconvincing, now ATV is already the overlord of Hong Kong's TV industry, and in the case that ATV will be completely taken over in the future, Gu Chen has no need to enter the board of directors of TVB again. Some media speculate that Shao Yifu wants to revive the film industry, and this speculation has been agreed by most people, after all, now that TVB's performance is dismal, it is natural for Shao Yifu to want to make a difference in the increasingly prosperous Hong Kong film industry, and it is also a correct choice.

If it is really the last guess, then the person who proposed the lunch date should be Shao Yifu, but Gu Chen met with Zou Wenhuai and Xiang Huaqiang, the owners of two other big companies in the Hong Kong film industry, in a short period of time, which immediately made everyone a little confused, no one would think that this was a coincidence, and there would be no such a coincidence, but they couldn't guess what kind of medicine Gu Chen was selling in the gourd.

At this time, the paparazzi in Hong Kong once again moved in groups, chasing and intercepting several parties and the people around them, but both the parties and others were silent, either silent, or replied with a fluttering sentence - everyone will know in a few days, the more this is the case, the more curious the outside world becomes, what makes the big men in the Hong Kong film industry so solemn and want to keep it secret, and they all speculate in their hearts that maybe Gu Chen will make some big moves, or maybe there will be something big in the Hong Kong film industry.

Amid all kinds of speculation and expectations, on March 9, almost all the local and foreign media branches in Hong Kong received an announcement from the press department of Tang Dynasty Holdings: Gu Chen will hold a press conference at the Peninsula Hotel at 1o a.m. on March 1o.

As soon as this news was announced, in addition to being really unrelated to entertainment and current affairs, other media all moved by the news, you must know that now Gu Chen rarely attends the press conference in person, and everything is distributed to the news affairs department of Tang Dynasty Holdings, and every time Gu Chen personally attends the press conference, it indicates that there is a big event to announce, and then think of Gu Chen's meeting with Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai and Xiang Huaqiang a few days ago, everyone knows that it should be time to reveal the answer. It was with this in mind that countless media flocked to the meeting on the day of the meeting, and in the end, there were so many people that it was impossible to fit in the venue. In desperation, the staff could only invite some minor personnel out of the venue, which made the venue no longer seem so crowded.

At 1o o'clock, the host of the press conference walked up to the rostrum and said loudly: "Fellow journalists, please be quiet, the press conference is about to start, because there are more reporters and friends who are here today, I hope you can consciously abide by the order of the venue, well, now I have Mr. Gu Chen, Chairman of Tang Dynasty Holdings, Mr. Zhang Zhengzong, Director of Broadcasting and Publication of Hong Kong, Mr. Shao Yifu, Chairman of TVB, Mr. Zou Wenhuai, Chairman of Golden Harvest Film Company, Mr. Xiang Huaqiang, Chairman of Yongsheng Film Company, and Mr. Wu Siyuan, President of Tang Dynasty Cinema Group, Six gentlemen are invited to appear. ”

As the host's voice fell, Gu Chen, Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, Xiang Huaqiang and Zhang Zhengzong, director of the Hong Kong Broadcasting and Publication Administration, walked into the venue together.

After sitting down on the stage, Wu Siyuan adjusted the height of the microphone, and then faced the many reporters in the audience, and said with a smile: "I believe that everyone here is very curious about today's conference, and before I officially announce it, I will give you a copy of the information." ”

Immediately, more than a dozen staff members each walked to the press booth with a thick stack of materials and began to divide, and the reporter who got the information first only saw the content at the beginning of the information, and suddenly his heart suddenly changed, it turned out to be this matter, no wonder these film industry bigwigs can get together, especially Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai, the grievances of these two people are known to Hong Kong people, and they have not been in contact for decades, and now it is reasonable to reunite for this matter. Some continued to look down at the information, while others excitedly whispered to the people around them.

After the information was distributed, the discussion at the venue had already resounded, and then Wu Siyuan said again: "Okay, please be quiet, after reading the information in your hands, you already know the purpose of today's conference, that's right, officially for the establishment of the Hong Kong Film Association." As we all know, Hong Kong films have long occupied a very important position in the Asian film market and even the world film market, but there has never been a professional organization to plan and coordinate the entire market, which is obviously extremely unreasonable. ”
