Hong Kong has a population of more than 4 million, and there are so many audiences who like to watch movies, and the box office capacity of movies every day is limited.

According to the statistics of Jiahe Cinema Line, whether it is Shaw Brothers' Fengyue films, martial arts films or follow-up films released by Jiahe, they all became cannon fodder in the end, with a good box office of 500,000 or 600,000 a week, and a bad week with a box office of less than 200,000.

Of course, because of the different themes of Shaw Brothers' Fengyue films, the box office response after its release was good, and it attracted a large number of perverts to watch, and the box office reached hundreds of thousands in a week, and it was easy to exceed one million at the box office in a few days after the screening.

However, Fengyue films are not elegant after all, and the overseas box office will definitely not be too good, they can only make a little money, and it is definitely impossible to make a big fortune.

"Shaw Brothers is not enough to worry about, although Shao Tycoon's large-scale studio system makes the cost of film production extremely low, but because of the compression of costs, only some small-cost films can be arranged to make money, and Ms. Fang's personality makes it impossible to spend money to make big productions, which has no impact on us at all." He Guanchang picked up the coffee and said while drinking.

Zou Daheng nodded and said, "Not bad! If Shaw Brothers continues like this, it is estimated that it will not last for a few years! For Ms. Fang, the current helmsman of Shaw Brothers, Zou Daheng knows best, because of the difference in its production concept, Shao Daheng and others will leave Shaw Brothers.

He Guanchang and Zou Daheng are not immortals, and the reason why they dare to conclude that Shaw Brothers cannot last long is very simple.

People go to high places and water flows to low places, although Shaw Brothers' big studio system saves costs, but its stingy system can't retain talents at all, if everyone doesn't have a better place to go, it's okay, now the market is getting hotter and hotter, and everyone's choices are too many.

Fortunately for the actors, because of the contract, it is difficult to leave unless the contract expires after signing the deed of sale.

But the blockbuster directors and screenwriters and the people behind the scenes are different.

They are not like actors, because no matter how much an actor uses a pseudonym, he will still be recognized at a glance when he is filmed, and finally he will be held accountable and banned by the company. But the director changed his name to make a movie, and the ghost knew who directed this film.

Because of Shao Tycoon's strength, the number of actors who have been banned by TVB and Shaw Brothers in Hong Kong is uncountable, and Liu Tianwang, one of the four heavenly kings, went to be a theater ticket seller in the most difficult time, just because he offended Shao Tycoon and was banned!

But there doesn't seem to be a single director and screenwriter who have been banned, even if everyone is banned and their names are changed, they still work.

For example, Wang Jing, one of the few directors of the Shaw Brothers who can make money, if Wang Jing changed his name to Wang Dabao and quietly ran to help Yongsheng make a movie, how do you say that the Shaw Brothers can know? What can you do even if you know about the ban!

The situation in the later period of Shaw Brothers is that the directors who can make money and the skilled behind the scenes are all gone, leaving only a large number of scenery in the fifties and sixties, and now in Shaw Brothers it can be said that the directors and behind-the-scenes personnel are pensioning, these people are lagging behind the times in terms of shooting concepts and shooting techniques, and the movies made are of course all on the street without exception.

In such a situation, Shao Tycoon can't reverse it no matter how great his ability is, unless he can completely change!

It can be said that if it weren't for Miss Fang's two more years of filming Fengyue films, Shaw Brothers would not have lived for 85 years.

In those two years, a large number of female stars were forced to shoot large-scale Fengyue films, such as Honggu, Xiaolongnu Chen Yulian, and Xia Wenxi.

In 85, if it weren't for Miss Fang's attention to wireless, Shaw Brothers would have basically closed its doors, and even Xiaoqian would not have escaped the fate of filming Fengyue films.

"Shaw Brothers is not good, but Lei Weidong is our great enemy, if he sets up a theater to fight against us by himself, it will be troublesome!" Liu Lianghua suddenly spoke.

Zou Daheng folded his arms in front of his chest and said: "Not just in case, but for sure, as far as I know, in the building built by Lei Weidong, 17 cinemas have been planned, and it is estimated that they will be put into use in November at the latest." ”

"Of the 17 cinemas under construction, plus the current cinemas, Lei Weidong has at least more than 30 cinemas in his hands, more than all the cinemas in the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line!"

Among several people, Cai Yongchang is mainly responsible for the theater line, and he is particularly sensitive to the number of theaters, Zou Wenhuai said, Cai Yongchang knew that Lei Weidong would definitely set up a theater chain by himself, otherwise he would not have built so many theaters.

"More than thirty! I heard that Lei Weidong's agent is buying a house like crazy, and seven or eight movie theaters are planned! Liu Lianghua talked about the news she heard recently!

"He has to hit him, he can't let him build a theater so easily!" He Guanchang's face also became grim, because he already understood what Zou Daheng was worried about, more than forty movie theaters, which far exceeded the number of theaters in Jiahe, once established, it would definitely be a huge blow to Jiahe.

"Yongchang, you go and dig Cheng Long now, you don't have to care about Luo Wei's miser, no matter how much it costs, you have to dig Cheng Long into your hands, this is a trump card, you must not let Lei Weidong control it in your hands!" Zou Daheng made up his mind.

At the beginning, Zou Daheng, He Guanchang and Liang Feng broke away from the Shaw Brothers to form Jiahe, but in fact, it was not very smooth at the beginning, and the appearance of Li Xiaolong allowed Jiahe to develop smoothly.

If there is no Li Xiaolong, Jiahe is likely to go bankrupt in the early seventies, it can be said that one Li Xiaolong will support the entire Jiahe, and the independent account sharing model that Jiahe relies on to grow and is still implementing is specially set up for Li Xiaolong.

Now Cheng Long is like Li Xiaolong back then, because now kung fu movies are beginning to decline, and Cheng Long's humorous kung fu films are unique. It's a cash cow in anyone's hands.

When Jiahe was preparing to dig Cheng Long, Lei Weidong was preparing to hold a celebration banquet.

"Serpentine" grossed $14 million at the U.S. box office, which is still some way from Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon" record of more than $20 million, but it is already a remarkable achievement for Hong Kong filmmakers.

You must know that the cost of "Serpentine Trickster" is only more than 100,000 US dollars, and Hong Kong will recover it, and the money earned from its release in the United States is completely additional income, and many Hong Kong film companies have never considered this income.

Of course, the happiest thing is that Cheng Long has initially gained popularity in the United States with this movie. laid the foundation for the release of films such as "Drunken Fist" in the United States,

The box office of 14 million US dollars, because it was released in the off-season of the movie, was released in the off-season and used a contract box office, and through some reasonable tax avoidance methods, Lei Weidong could share a profit of nearly 9 million US dollars, that is, more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars, which has exceeded the box office revenue in Japan.

has achieved such high benefits, coupled with the popularity of "Senior Brother Out of the Horse"! The box office is directly at the 10 million Hong Kong dollar mark, and it is necessary to hold a celebration banquet.

Lee Court, Central, Hong Kong.

This is a time-honored Cantonese luxury restaurant, and XO sauce, which was later popular in the Chinese world, was first launched in Lee Court in 1981. Of course, there is no such thing right now.

Today, the first floor of Li Yuan was covered by Lei Weidong, specially for Cheng Long to celebrate

Those who came to participate in the celebration banquet were not only the senior executives of Bigao Company, the two crew members of "Serpentine Trickster" and "Senior Brother Out of the Horse", but also Cheng Long's boss Luo Wei and many celebrities, even Wang Jing, a fat man, also came.

Lei Weidong took Zhang Aijia and others to toast Cheng Long in person: "Brother Long, you have made great contributions to us this time, and I will toast you on behalf of everyone!" ”

Cheng Long was stunned and didn't dare to accept Lei Weidong's toast, so he hurriedly stood up with a wine glass and bent over and said, "Don't dare, I should respect Lei Shaocai, if it weren't for your support and attention, I wouldn't have today's results." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you Lei Shao for your support." Yuan Biao, Hong Jingbao and others also stood up and agreed, and then the whole table and the whole audience stood up and toasted Lei Weidong together.

"Hahaha, okay, but I can't drink enough, so I'll drink this glass, everyone is free!" Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Lei Weidong was very happy, and although he couldn't drink, he still drank the wine in the cup.

The banquet officially began, and Lei Weidong, Zhang Aijia and Cheng Long became the center of the celebration banquet, and from time to time someone toasted in front of several people with wine glasses.

To Lei Weidong and Zhang Aijia's wine, naturally I want Lei Weidong to carry more in the future; It's just that Lei Weidong used the excuse that he couldn't drink when he was still young, and handed over the specific affairs to Zhang Aijia. And the wine that respects Cheng Long is that he hopes to be able to cooperate with Cheng Long to make movies in the future.

As the only actor in Hong Kong who has entered Hollywood, this aura is too big, and Cheng Long will definitely soar like Li Xiaolong in the future.

"Come, Lei Shao! I toast you! Wang Jing saluted with juice.

"Fatty! Or do you know me and know that I don't like to drink! Lei Weidong responded with a smile: "How is your current movie, what can be released!"

"Do you still doubt my speed!" When it comes to the filmed movie, Wang Jing is excited, it was completed a few days ago, and now it is in the post-production, and it will be released in a week at most.

is worthy of being a famous fast gunner in Hong Kong, and the movie can be released in less than a month, and the most convincing thing is that the quality of Wang Jing's movies is not bad, which is not a grade at all compared with those who follow the trend.

"Is the release date set, do you still need me to go to Jiahe to coordinate?"

"No, you don't! Manager Zhang has coordinated with Jiahe's Zou Daheng to arrange the release of 18 theaters, as for the time, just go to Jiahe to talk directly after the film is made. ”

Wang Jing drank happily with a wine glass, this is the first time he has shot a movie, and he can arrange eighteen theaters to release it, it is different with the support of a large company, if it is an ordinary small company, it would be good to arrange five or six theaters for you to be released.
