Chapter 483: Golden Harvest's Ambition The Mainland Market
On October 20th, there was an amazing news in the Hong Kong entertainment industry that Tengfei Entertainment, Asia Television, and Red Star Records were merged into the Great Wall Media Group, and the president of the Great Wall Media Group is the entertainment tycoon Wang Zichuan!
The news of the establishment of the Great Wall Media Group was like a whirlwind blowing into Golden Harvest Pictures, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Liang Feng and other high-level executives hurriedly gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
Zou Wenhuai waved the newspaper and said straight to the point: "You all know the news of Wang Zichuan's establishment of the Great Wall Media Group, it seems that Wang Zichuan is planning to move seriously." ”
Liang Feng echoed: "Ah Huai is right, we can't be beaten passively like before, this time we have to come up with a countermeasure first!" ”
Cai Yongchang rubbed his eyes, once again browsed the news of the Great Wall Media Group in the newspaper, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, Tengfei Entertainment was established three years ago, at that time, Wang Zichuan was still looking up to Jiahe and snorting, but since Tengfei Entertainment established the Oriental Cinema Line, the situation has changed, Hong Kong movies seem to have become a show of Tengfei Entertainment, Jiahe can't compete with it, and the new art city in the middle of the day has also been knocked to the dust, and it has collapsed, Wang Zichuan's action is getting bigger and bigger, and the next step is probably to integrate the Hong Kong entertainment industry!
"Ahem!" He Guanchang lifted his glasses and said, "I also found a TV station to cooperate with Jiahe to fight against the Great Wall Media Group, what do you think?" ”
Zou Wenhuai frowned, he also thought of this way, Hong Kong TV can only be comparable to ATV, only TVB, but they Golden Harvest Pictures and Shaw are rivals, not to mention cooperation, even if they meet, they can't say a few words, if they find other third-rate TV stations to cooperate, they can only pull back, it is better to fight alone.
Liang Feng said tentatively: "Ah Huai, why don't we talk to Yi Yifu?" Anyway. ATV and wireless are opposites, and now ATV and Tengfei Entertainment share resources, which is the biggest threat to wireless, followed by our Golden Harvest, I think Shaw should be more urgent than me. ”
Zou Wenhuai sighed: "Maybe Mr. Shao is really anxious, but he can choose Xinyi City, and we Golden Harvest only have one choice, do you think Mr. Shao will cooperate with our Golden Harvest?" ”
Liu Lianghua smiled and said: "Uncle Shao handed over the theater to Tengfei Entertainment, which meant to take revenge on Jiahe, and now we are asking for help." It's no wonder that this old man didn't humiliate us severely. ”
He Guanchang nodded slowly, when Zou Wenhuai led them to leave the Shaw Clan and establish Golden Harvest Pictures, he directly shattered Shaw's ambition to dominate Xiangjiang Entertainment, and the hatred lasted for more than ten years. It's not a simple collaboration that solves the problem.
Liang Feng sneered: "I think this time Yi Yifu is raising tigers, he supported Tengfei Entertainment to block Golden Harvest, and now Wang Zichuan has acquired ATV, which will still block his wireless TV station." ”
Zou Wenhuai was depressed. waved his hand, not wanting to listen to this nonsense, Tengfei Entertainment had the help of ATV, not only got a cheap set. There are also a large number of artists, these artists are skilled in acting, and they are quite popular. The most important thing is that the salary is low, they Golden Harvest hired an ATV artist with a salary of 300,000 yuan, maybe Tengfei Entertainment only spent 50,000 Hong Kong dollars is enough, and the most important thing is that ATV has a large number of experienced screenwriters and directors, plus Wang Zichuan's shrewd mind, with a little use, you can produce a large number of films.
When the time comes, Golden Harvest will not only have to deal with the high-quality films produced by Tengfei Entertainment, but also compete with the films produced by ATV directors for the box office, which is equivalent to being blocked by the Great Wall Group in all directions, and there is no other way except to use the trump card of Cheng Long.
"Do you have any other ideas? Wang Zichuan established the Great Wall Media Group, the main purpose is to stop our Golden Harvest, now the Hong Kong film industry is very prosperous, this year's total box office is estimated to exceed 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, overseas box office is about 30 to 4 billion, the cake is getting bigger and bigger, our share is getting smaller and smaller, the board of directors shareholders have expressed their dissatisfaction with us! ”
Liu Lianghua said: "Ah Huai, don't be too sad, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, I think Wang Zichuan established the Great Wall Media Group, and the primary target will be TVB, and we have no threat to Jiahe Pictures for the time being." ”
He Guanchang said with a smile: "I think the same way, movies and TV are different, if the Great Wall Group wants to stop us Golden Harvest Pictures, we must fully integrate its resources and work together, I think Tengfei Entertainment and Asia TV do not meet this condition for the time being." ”
Zou Wen said angrily: "When did your vision become so short-sighted, if you can't do it today, will there be no tomorrow?" The problem now is that our Golden Harvest is at a disadvantage, those who are in the limelight are Tengfei Entertainment, and the merchants in other cities are all powerful figures, and now they are all hugging Tengfei Entertainment's thighs, and Tengfei Entertainment has caught up with our Jiahe from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside. ”
He Guanchang's face turned red, he was in charge of overseas distribution, and he had the most profound understanding of what Zou Wenhuai said, last year, Golden Harvest's distribution channels still had an advantage, since the box office of "Fuxing Gaozhao" produced by Tengfei Entertainment exceeded 60 million, overseas merchants flocked to it, Wang Zichuan took advantage of the situation to open the Japanese and Korean markets, you know, the Japanese and Korean markets have always been Golden Harvest's back garden before this, and at that time, Xinyicheng, which won the four-time box office champion, had no way to do it, and was at a loss.
Liu Lianghua said embarrassedly: "Ah Huai, I still think the problem is not in our Jiahe, but that Tengfei Entertainment is developing too fast, it can also be said that Wang Zichuan is a genius, you have done a lot, look at the current Xinyi City, which is also under the resistance of Tengfei Entertainment, and the situation is much worse than our Jiahe." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" He Guanchang, Liang Feng, and Cai Yongchang seem to have found a reason, not that they are incompetent, but that Tengfei Entertainment is too rebellious, and the rise speed is not inferior to that of Xinyicheng.
Zou Wenhuai smiled bitterly: "Are you asking me to report to the shareholders of the board of directors in such words?" We have been in the industry for decades, and we are not as good as Wang Zichuan, a milky child who has not dried up, so I can't say it. ”
Liu Lianghua comforted: "In the final analysis, the Hong Kong market is too small, and the benefits are not distributed enough, if there is a market as big as the United States, we don't have to intrigue with Tengfei Entertainment and New Art City, as long as we produce excellent films, we can naturally make money." ”
Liang Feng echoed: "Yes, the current situation is that our Golden Harvest produces excellent films, and Tengfei Entertainment's films are always better, and the audience is robbed by them, and the number of moviegoers in Hong Kong has doubled, so we don't have to worry about these problems." ”
Zou Wenhuai looked at the north and said thoughtfully: "There is a market of more than one billion people around us, which is our only hope for Jiahe!" ”
He Guanchang said tentatively: "Ah Huai, are you talking about the mainland?" ”
Zou Wenhuai's face was solemn, and he asked: "Do you think it is a little possible, do you still remember the film "Shaolin Temple" a few years ago, a dime a movie ticket in the mainland, the total box office reached hundreds of millions, and the consumption level in Hong Kong was tens of billions. ”
Liu Lianghua worried: "Ah Huai, the mainland is indeed a huge market, but ...... It's not up to us to decide! ”
Zou Wenhuai said: "If you don't try it, how can you know that it's impossible, even if there are screening restrictions over there, we only shoot three films a year, and the profit is enough for us Jiahe to eat and drink!" ”
Liu Lianghua still shook his head and argued: "The mainland market is indeed attractive, but the Taiwan market cannot be ignored, the two cannot be both, if the mainland market is not opened, but the Taiwan market is lost, then our Golden Harvest difficulties will not be worse." ”
Zou Wenhuai took a big sip of his cigar, his mind was running at full speed, and he soon thought of the idea of the best of both worlds, and said with a smile: "This is not difficult to do, we can unite with well-known film companies in Hong Kong to put forward their wishes together, there is a way to do the law and not to blame the public, and Taiwan cannot block/kill all Hong Kong film companies." ”
He Guanchang praised: "This is a good way, if we can take this opportunity to open up the mainland market, our Hong Kong films will really be amazing, and maybe it will form an Oriental Hollywood." ”
Liang Feng echoed: "That's it, we are contacting the mainland market while checking the movements of the Great Wall Media Group, I think Wang Zichuan will also be interested in the mainland market, he has a lot of ideas, I heard that Tengfei Entertainment's New Year's blockbuster "Let the Bullets Fly" was filmed in the mainland. ”
Liu Lianghua sneered: "He is bold, so he is not afraid of the blocking/killing of the Taiwan Cultural Bureau?" ”
Liang Feng explained: "I heard that Wang Zichuan has a relationship in Taiwan, two years ago, Liang Jiahui did not go to the mainland capital to shoot films, and the Taiwan Cultural Bureau named Liang Jiahui to block/kill Liang Jiahui, he joined Tengfei Entertainment for less than half a year, and the Taiwan side revoked the blocking/killing order, and Liang Jiahui lifted the ban." ”
"It's so unfair!" Liu Lianghua was not lightly angry, in order not to be found by the Taiwan Cultural Bureau, they have been careful to side the back, but they didn't expect Wang Zichuan to solve this problem so lightly.
Zou Wenhuai extinguished the cigar in his hand, in the past, Wang Zichuan used the Taiwanese community to open the way, but now it has been less than a year since the end of the Qing Dynasty, where did Wang Zichuan have so much confidence? The Taiwan market is the most important overseas box office base for Hong Kong films.
He Guanchang pondered for a while, he has been taking good care of Anita Mui recently, and he has the heart to ease the conflict with Wang Zichuan, and now it finally comes in handy.
"Ah Huai, I'll contact Tengfei Entertainment over there."
Zou Wenhuai looked at He Guanchang in surprise, hasn't he always been afraid of contact with Wang Zichuan? At the premiere of "Police Story" held two months ago, he was reluctant to receive Wang Zichuan, how could it change so quickly?
He Guanchang said with a smile: "It is better to settle the dispute, I will go and talk to Wang Zichuan, maybe I can ease the relationship between Tengfei Entertainment and Jiahe." ”
Zou Wenhuai automatically filtered the last sentence and ordered: "Then Wang Zichuan's side will be handed over to you!" ”
Liang Feng smiled: "I'll contact Lei Juekun and Mecca." (To be continued......)
