"Luck, luck!" Although the person in front of him was not Jiang Zhiqiang, Lei Weidong still greeted him warmly.

"I don't know, what is Mr. Jiang looking for me!"

"That's the case, Mr. Lei, I want to ask, is it possible for your movie to be released in my theater?"

"How?" Lei Weidong was a little surprised and asked, "Isn't Anle Cinema always showing Western films?" ”

"It's not exactly a Western film." Jiang Zhiwen explained

There is no way to do this because the Hong Kong film industry has been largely dominated by Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest since the sixties and seventies.

Independent theaters have no other way out than to join these two theater chains, and it's hard to survive on their own, because you can't find a suitable source for the film.

Jiang Zhiwen was also forced to go to Europe and America to buy films and come back to show them.

At this time, the Hong Kong market was not in the late 90s, when Hollywood blockbusters dominated the rivers and lakes, and it can be said that it would make a lot of money to be able to screen Western films.

The current Hong Kong film market is still the world of local films, and the audience does not like Western films at all, so they can only barely survive by screening Western films. This is also the reason why the Anle Cinema Line was not famous before the 90s, but in the 21st century, it suddenly rose to prominence.

Of course, some people will say that if you don't have a film source, you won't set up your own film company, make your own films, and show them yourself.

People who say this are laymen, thinking that Zou Daheng had already become the second-in-command in Shaw Brothers, and pulled the underground brothers to start the Jiahe Company with the support of a group of tycoons such as Nanyang Cathay Cinema.

Even if there was support, Jiahe had a hard time at the beginning, almost to the point of exhaustion, if it weren't for the gold mine of Li Xiaolong, it can be said that Jiahe would have gone out of business in the early seventies.

As for the Golden Princess Company, the big boss Lei Daheng is from a wealthy family in Hong Kong, and the Kowloon Construction Company and the Kowloon Bus Company are well-known in Hong Kong.

Coupled with the rise of the New Wave movement, Hong Kong's independent film companies prospered, and at the same time supported Mecca, Shi Tian and others to establish the New Arts City Film Company, which made the Golden Princess Cinema Line rise in the 80s.

And these bosses of Anle Cinema can only be regarded as ordinary rich people, and their worth is far worse than those wealthy families, of course, they don't have the capital to play movies.

Of course, not playing movies does not mean that Jiang Zhiwen does not want to cooperate with film companies, in fact, as long as it is an excellent independent production company in Hong Kong, Anle Cinema Line welcomes cooperation.

"I'm afraid this won't work." Lei Weidong groaned slightly and said:

"We have already negotiated a screening contract with Jiahe, and if we are cooperating with Anle Cinema Line, we must communicate first, so as not to misunderstand and hurt the peace. However, I have a few American horror movies in my hands now, and I don't know if Mr. Jiang is interested. ”

originally wanted to reject Jiang Zhiwen, but Lei Weidong suddenly remembered his MSI Film Company in the United States, although MSI was running well in the United States during this time, shooting several popular horror movies in a row and making a lot of money, but its weak overseas distribution ability made Lei Weidong a headache.

Until now, MSI has not even entered the European market, and can only sell out the film through middlemen.

As for the Asian market, such as the Japanese market, the film is still released through the company.

The ratio of its overseas box office to the North American box office has reached 1 to 8, while the ratio of the overseas box office to the North American box office of movies released by major Hollywood companies is generally about 1 to 2, and the box office ratio of many excellent films can be 1 to 1, or even 2 to 1.

It can be said that Lei Weidong's film company still has a long way to go for its overseas distribution.

"I don't know what films Mr. Lei has on hand." Jiang Zhiwen showed great interest as soon as he heard Lei Weidong's words, after all, Jiang Zhiwen knew that the root of Anle Cinema was still to release Western films. ”

"It's not convenient to talk about business today, Mr. Jiang should come to my office to talk!" Lei Weidong pointed to Xu Anhua, who was surrounded by human rights, and said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I was abrupt!" Jiang Zhiwen hurriedly said.

After chatting casually for a while, Jiang Zhiwen had something to do and walked away.

After he left, Lei Weidong surrounded the people who were also sent up, and went home with Zhong Chuhong, Wen Bixuan, and a small beauty.

As for the scene at the scene, it was left to Zhang Aijia and Xu Anhua to be responsible.

After the midnight screening, "Crazy Robbery" was not released immediately, but the release date was placed three days after the midnight screening.

Because through these three days, it is enough for the media to stir up the topic and greatly whet the appetite of the audience.

In this midnight show, Lei Weidong spent a lot of money to give a lot of movie tickets to the reporters of those newspapers to watch the midnight show for free.

As a result, the major media are very dedicated, except for periodicals, magazines, evening newspapers, etc., major daily newspapers and morning newspapers published the situation of the midnight session of "Crazy Robbery" early in the morning.

Because Lei Weidong didn't spend any extra money at all this time, he just invited those reporters with a ticket, and as for whether the reporters went back to write or not, whether they wrote good or bad things, he didn't care so much.

It turns out that it is similar to what Lei Weidong thought, because there is no money, and those reporters write how to make a sensation and attract people's attention, and they almost all focus on the horror part of the film.

The next day, early in the morning, Zhong Chuhong put a large stack of newspapers in front of Lei Weidong.

"Adong, this is the newspaper you want, there are "Ming Pao Morning Post", "Xingchen Daily", "Sing Tao Morning Post", "Hong Kong Economic Daily". "Cheng Pao", "Wen Wei Po", and "Overseas Chinese Daily" ...... ”

Lei Weidong took the newspaper and couldn't wait to open it.

Of course, I don't watch the main magazine, how can a movie like "Crazy Robbery" appear in the main magazine.! Lei Weidong simply took out all the entertainment supplements of all the newspapers and put them together.

Let's look at Ming Pao first, although Lei Weidong is a little shameful about Master Jin's character, but Master Jin's talent is beyond doubt, and Ming Pao has always been neutral and pragmatic, and the content of the report is generally very credible, and its influence among the Hong Kong middle class is not trivial.

"Forehead......" Lei Weidong looked at the headlines on the front page of the entertainment version speechlessly.

""Huan Yan" was born, and Hu Hui challenged Lin Qingxuan in the meeting!"

It seems that Sister Qingxuan's opponent is here, and she is still very familiar with Hu Huizhong and Lei Weidong! looks very similar to Lin Qingxuan, so much so that many viewers mistook the movie starring the two, just like Lei Weidong, who once thought that the starring role was Lin Qingxuan!
