Chapter Seventy-One: The First Film Agency
After Hong Jingbao and Cheng Long received the start-up funds from the company, they immediately began to prepare for the team and start the shooting of the new film.
But hiring people from scattered independent film companies is naturally not as good as pulling people directly from Golden Harvest. The work of preparing for the team is trivial and troublesome, but fortunately, Hong Jingbao is not an ordinary person.
He has worked hard in the Hong Kong film industry for many years and has accumulated quite a wide range of contacts, so he quickly prepared the crew.
The cinematography, lighting, makeup, drama, props, etc., in the crew, are all from different film companies. Among them, Shaw Brothers has the largest number of personnel.
The reason is that since Fang Yihua entered the production department, the cost of filming has been strictly controlled, and the salary and benefits of employees have been reduced again and again, which has made everyone on the Shaw Brothers studio complain.
So when Hong Fatzi shouted at the door of the studio waving colorful banknotes, a large number of people immediately rushed over.
Originally, Shaw Brothers absolutely prohibited the staff from making extra money outside, but there are too many employees under Shaw Brothers, and there are not one or two people who make extra money outside, and the so-called law does not blame the public. In addition, some leading celebrities are taking on dramas outside, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and the employees below naturally run more.
The Shaw Brothers have repeatedly adopted high-pressure policies, but they can't suppress this commotion, and Zuihou can only let it go.
Hong Fatzi also helped build the crew of his junior brother Cheng Long, and the two films were announced together, which became the headlines of the entertainment edition of the day.
……
While Hong Jingbao and Cheng Long's new film began to shoot, Xu Guanwu was busy searching for suitable movies.
He now regrets his blind actions very much, and without making the slightest preparation, he announced the establishment of his own theater.
"Alas, it would have been better if it had been announced half a year later. At that time, with the tens of millions of dollars from the box office of "Rocky", I could build my own theater in the bustling downtown area of Hong Kong, and I could also use the six months to shoot a few blockbuster movies. When the time comes, it will be screened in multiplex theaters and fire the first shot! It's a pity, it's a pity, I'm just too reckless. Xu Guanwu thought very reproachfully.
He thought that with his advanced memory, he could completely go on a rampage in this shijie, but now he realized his shortcomings.
In addition to being able to see farther than everyone else, in terms of talent and wisdom, he has no advantage at all.
"It seems that if I have a chance, I will also study hard. This shijie is changing every day and improving every day. If I still think that I can call the wind and rain with this advanced memory, then I don't know how I will die sooner or later. Xu Guanwu secretly made up his mind in his heart.
He was only a clerk before, and he lacked the experience and means to manage the company, so although he knew how history developed, when he really wanted to manipulate the ship of the Xu Brothers Company to sail smoothly, it was inevitable that some masters would make mistakes and omissions.
Fortunately, the mistake is not serious now, and it is still within the range of bearing.
If the company grows again and grows into a giant aircraft carrier, every wrong decision he makes will cause irreparable losses.
Xu Guanwu now knows his shortcomings, and he is determined to make up for them.
……
At this time, "Fa Qian Han" and "Serpentine Trickster" were painted one after another, and Wu Dun immediately contacted Xu Guanwu, planning to divide the box office into a beating.
happened to hear that Xu Guanwu's new cinema line was established, and no film has been released yet. Wu Dun immediately slapped his head and laughed loudly on the other end of the phone: "Mr. Xu, we have recently released a film in Taiwan, which is selling quite well, I don't think you can introduce it in the past." ”
"Oh?! Which film is it? Xu Guanwu asked curiously.
These days, the brothers are busy searching in Hong Kong, and they haven't had time to set their sights on the other side.
It is directed by director Li Xing and adapted from Ms. Qiong Yao's novel "Where the Seagull Flies". It has been the box office champion in Taiwan for two consecutive weeks, and its popularity remains high. Wu Dun said with a smile, "I heard that Ms. Qiong Yao's film also has a certain market in Hong Kong, so in my opinion, you might as well come to Taiwan and buy this film back for screening." ”
Xu Guanwu was immediately moved when he heard this, and instead of pulling out a big man in Hong Kong, it was better to go to Taiwan to try his luck.
In Taiwan in the early 70s, the film industry was still booming, and many excellent works were produced.
After greeting the eldest brother Xu Guanwen, the third brother Xu Guanying, and the fourth brother Xu Guanjie, Xu Guanwu immediately took a plane to Taiwan.
When I came to Taiwan, it was Wu Dun who picked up the airport.
As soon as he saw Xu Guanwu, he hugged him warmly, as if he saw the God of Wealth.
It's no wonder he's so excited, "Money Cold" and "Serpentine Trickster" have made him earn tens of millions of NT$, and he doesn't have to fight and kill from life to death.
Seeing Xu Guanwu now is no different from seeing the God of Wealth.
"How did you check the company that produced "Seagull Flying" for me?" After Xu Guanwu met, he didn't have time to greet him, so he asked directly.
It's not that he's in a hurry, but the theater is about to finish renovating, and if no new films are released, the theater will have to close.
The loss in one day is more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, and with the current financial resources of the Xu Brothers company, it cannot afford to lose at all.
"I've helped you find out, this movie is produced by Mar's Film Company, and First Pictures is responsible for distribution." Wu Dun said with a smile.
Xu Guanwu was stunned when he heard this, the first film agency?!
"This sucks!" Xu Guanwu muttered.
"What? Is this company amazing? Do you want me to take some of my brothers and get the copy back? Wu Dun said with a big grin.
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, "It would be nice if everything could be solved so easily." ”
First Pictures is not just an ordinary leather bag film company, its founder is Huang Zhuohan, founded in the 50s of the 20th century, registered in Hong Kong to make films in Taiwan.
The reason why it is not ordinary is because this company can be called the No. 1 among independent production companies! In the fifties and sixties, it released many excellent works and became popular with many stars. Such as the big star Lin Cui, "Dragon Woman" Roland and so on.
And it also has its own cinema chain in Taipei, second only to Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and Taiwan China Film in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and is the fourth largest film company in Hong Kong and Taiwan. It is also the first independent film company.
The real deal!
First Pictures invests in the production of films in Taiwan and is responsible for the distribution of films in Hong Kong.
Because Wong Cheuk-han and Sir Shao have a good personal relationship, and the two companies often cooperate, movies are usually released in Shaw Brothers theaters.
If Xu Guanwu wants to get "The Seagull Flying" to be released in brilliant theaters, he must deal with Mr. Huang Zhuohan.
