There are not many good Christmas films in Hong Kong this year, and "Truant Weilong 2" starring Zhou Xingchi, Zhang Meng, Wu Mengda, and Zhu Xiao swept the Christmas box office as soon as it was released.
This time, Golden Harvest mainly focused on "City Hunter" starring Cheng Long, but because Zhou Xingchi's limelight was too strong, Golden Harvest took the initiative to shoot Cheng Long's film to the Spring Festival staggered schedule.
Yes, today's star is so good, although his movies are not as good as Cheng Long at the box office in Japan and South Korea, but in Hong Kong, even if Cheng Long meets Zhou Xingchi, he has to choose to avoid it.
In the past two years, he has not only established an independent film company with the funding of wealthy Taiwanese businessmen, but also mixed like a fish in water in film companies such as DreamWorks, Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, Metropolis, and Yongsheng. This time, Cheng Long's "City Hunter" was specially invited by Golden Harvest to be the director, and then adapted the Japanese comic of the same name.
There are many things that can be seen from the production team of the drama "City Hunter", most of the behind-the-scenes team is Golden Harvest's employees, the action design is Cheng Long's team, and nearly half of the main actors belong to the contracted artists of Oriental Entertainment Agency.
Golden Harvest's business strategy of redistributing light production zuò is becoming more and more obvious, it has basically given up the cultivation of potential artists, and directly invites actors from Oriental Entertainment Agency when filming. Even the good directors under Golden Harvest have found their own way out, so much so that they have to invite Wang Jing to direct the tube.
There is another feature of this Christmas file, that is, three. Grade films (mainly love. color chips) increased. In the past, such films were screened on regular schedules. But because it is becoming more and more popular with male audiences, it is now in the Christmas stall in a grand manner.
……
"Godfather. What are you looking at? Xu Ruoxuan ran over and lay on Kang Jianfei's shoulder, but her eyes didn't look at the text in Kang Jianfei's hand. Instead, he made some small movements to attract the attention of his godfather.
"Some Japanese record label material." Kang Jianfei patted the back of Xu Ruoxuan's hand and asked, "What about Caini and Yanzi?" ”
Xu Ruoxuan circled around the sofa, sat in Kang Jianfei's arms affectionately and said, "They are putting on makeup, and we are going to Acer Company for a show in the afternoon." ”
"In the future, if you can take this kind of company's activities, you won't be able to accept it, and you won't be short of that money," Kang Jianfei said, "Your fame has gone up now." Pay attention to improving your grade and taste. ”
"Acer is engaged in electronic high-tech, if we make toothpaste and soap, we won't go." Xu Ruoxuan lay in Kang Jianfei's arms, putting her ears to his broad chest like a child, feeling the powerful heartbeat.
It's New Year's Day in 1993 in a blink of an eye, Kang Jianfei has not returned to Hong Kong, except for a few days ago when Wang Guxian returned to Taipei, he went to accompany Xiaoxian for two days, and other times he was tired of the three girls and Ge Weiru's fat powder pile.
Since that night, Kang Jianfei has become the male owner of the girl's apartment. It's ridiculous and has no scruples.,Sometimes it's crazy in the living room.。 The most uncomfortable thing is Xu Ruoxuan, who watches the spring of the two little sisters and Kang Jianfei every day. palace drama, but the godfather never ate her. I can only pick and touch my mouth and have a dry time.
After a while, the three girls' agents came to urge them to take them to the Acer company to participate in the event.
Only then did Kang Jianfei put the text in his hand one by one. There are more than a dozen Japanese record labels on it, and after reading these, you can get a general idea of the current state of the Japanese music scene.
The Japanese music scene today. It is far from the pattern of a few large companies divided into three parts of the world in the future. Sony Music and Universal Music have two hegemons, one inside and one outside, and have a large share of the market in Japan. But some of the old record labels are still thriving, and new companies like Ai Hui are also hopeful.
When Kang Jianfei asked people to collect information, he specifically asked to pay attention to Ai Hui Music, so the information of this company is very detailed.
Ai Hui Music, the full name of Ai Beix Co., Ltd., was founded in 1988 by Katsuto Matsuura.
In the first two years, Ai Hui Music only represented foreign records to Japan, and then handed them over to Japan's Chuangmei Planning Company for distribution, which was purely a record middleman, and had neither the ability to produce records nor the ability to distribute records.
In 1990, two years after the company was founded, Katsuto Matsuura received funding from a wealthy businessman, Tatsumi Ita, to set up the recording department of Ai Hui Music, and signed the band TRF.
TRF is an outdated band, and it is almost impossible to mix in the Japanese music industry, so it has to sign Ai Hui to this small company as a last resort. Unbeknownst to him, Ai Hui Music's first album for TRF was a success, making this out-of-fashion band popular again.
Although it has gained a firm foothold in the Japanese record industry, the industry's positioning of Ai Hui Music is very embarrassing. TRF, an outdated band, came back to life after Ai Hui, and those bands and singers who didn't mix well came one after another, and after Ai Hui signed a few outdated singers, the company was finally labeled as an "artist shelter".
Even if Ai Hui Music pays a high price, it will not move those powerful and famous singers, because as long as he joins the "artist shelter" of Ai Hui Music, it proves that the singer was very depressed before.
Ai Hui Music is in this bottleneck at this time, and it is very difficult to develop further. But for Kang Jianfei, it was a good time to acquire Ai Hui.
There are a total of five shareholders of Aibex Co., Ltd., the largest shareholder of which is the wealthy businessman Ita Xun, the second shareholder is the founder of Aibex Katsuto Matsuura, and the remaining three small shareholders are all partners of Matsuura Katsuto.
Kang Jianfei's first thing to look for is Yitian Xun, and with the current situation of Ai Hui Music, it is easy to persuade him to sell his shares. Katsuto Matsuura, on the other hand, had to stay, because he was a key figure in the development of Ai Hui's music, and with him managing the company, Kang Jianfei could easily become the shopkeeper in the future.
Katsuto Matsuura has an unclear relationship with many Japanese female singers, and was even lured by the revelations to suck his actresses together. poison, private life is not much better than Kang Jianfei. But this guy has the ability and vision. Like Ayumi Hamasaki, Katsuto Matsuura personally discovered and cultivated popularity.
Three days later, Kang Jianfei met Yitian Xun, the major shareholder of Aibex.
Yi Tian Xun is more than half a hundred years old. He is clearly an outlier compared to the generally short and thin Japanese. The man was tall and fat, with a burly build. He is bold and generous in his gestures, and his English is very fluent and pure, without the terrible English accent of the average Japanese.
The two made an appointment to meet in Yitian Xun's private residence, and as soon as Kang Jianfei walked into the courtyard, Yitian Xun strode over and welcomed: "Hello, Mr. Kang, I'm very happy to meet you." ”
"Hello Mr. Yitian, I have admired the name for a long time." Kang Jianfei said politely.
Tatsumi Ita is the owner of T.Y. Limited. However, T.Y. has only been established for a few years, and it cannot be compared with Kang Jianfei, the richest man in Hong Kong.
Through the guò garden, Kang Jianfei followed Yitian Xun to a tea room. The two sat across the coffee table, and a woman in a kimono began to clean the tea set, as if preparing to perform a tea ceremony.
The two didn't get down to business at first, but talked about "Jurassic Park", which is now being screened in Japan. Ita Xun inquired with interest about the story behind the film, and whenever he figured out a special effects shooting problem, he would come up with the phrase "Sodesga"!
It wasn't until the first cup of tea was brewed that Yitian Xun suddenly went straight to the point: "The purpose of Mr. Kang's visit to Japan this time." Do you want to acquire Ibex? ”
Kang Jianfei did not hide it, admitted: "I do have this intention, I intend to enter the Japanese record market, but I don't know the depth of it." So I wanted to buy a small company to explore the way. ”
Ita Xun said with a smile: "Ibex is not a small company, and its profit can be ranked among the top 15 among many record companies in Japan. ”
Kang Jianfei took a sip of tea lightly and said lightly: "In my opinion." It's just a small company. ”
Yi Tian Xun was choked by these words, in terms of Kang Jianfei's current net worth. It is indeed qualified to say that Ibex is a small company.
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to sell my shares in Ibex." Yi Tian Xun refused directly without thinking too much.
Kang Jianfei said regretfully: "Since that's the case. It seems that I will have to talk to other record companies about acquisitions. ”
"Need my help getting in touch?" Yi Tian Xun was carefully observing Kang Jianfei's expression when he spoke.
Kang Jianfei smiled indifferently: "No need, before I came to Japan, I had already contacted the bosses of the three companies. ”
Tatsumi Ida asked, "I wonder which two record companies are the other?" ”
"This is a trade secret, please forgive me for not commenting." Kang Jianfei said apologetically.
Yitian Xun thought that Kang Jianfei came to talk about the acquisition in person with the determination to win, so he refused to raise the purchase price of Aibecks.
Unexpectedly, Kang Jianfei didn't enter the trap at all, and made it clear that he didn't have to buy Ai Beck, which made Yi Tian Xun punch into the cotton.
Kang Jianfei is really not joking, if Yi Tian Xun refuses to sell Ai Hui Music shares, he can completely turn around and leave, and buy it by a Japanese record company.
More than a decade later, Tatsumi Ita is familiar with the entertainment industry throughout Asia, and has even been invited to serve as a director of the Japan Film Industry Promotion Agency and chairman of the Tokyo International Film Festival. But at this moment, Yitian Xun is not too keen on the entertainment industry, and after Aibecks fell into a development bottleneck, he has always wanted to sell his shares, but he has not found a suitable buyer.
Yi Tian Xun saw that Kang Jianfei couldn't take the bait, so he didn't play false, and asked directly: "I have 57% of the shares of Aibex, how much does Mr. Kang plan to bid?" ”
"Fixed price, $5 million." Kang Jianfei said.
Yi Tian Xun sat there and didn't know how to bargain, and Ibex was not a big company, so the subordinate record production company was worth a little more, and those shares in his hand were sold for $3 million.
Rich, capricious!
Yitian Xun still wanted to raise the price, but seeing the smile on Kang Jianfei's face, he changed his words and said: "Since Mr. Kang is so sincere, then 3 million." ”
Two years ago, when Yi Tian Xun invested in Ibex, he only invested $300,000, and the return on profits in two years was more than ten times, which was enough to make him proud.
