Shen Xudong is a veteran of stirring emotions.

"Ghost Town" and "Snow Road" are both about comfort women...

Natural political correctness.

If it is a theatrical movie, the box office may not be very good - "Ghost Town" has a better box office, with a record of 3.5 million viewers, and "Snow Road" has less than 100,000 viewers...

But this kind of subject matter can easily spark discussion...

The so-called friendship between China and South Korea depends on Japan and benzene~

Anyway, PPTV's development in Japanese benzene is not going well, and the future will not be smooth - Netflix can't handle the Japanese benzene market!

Netflix can't squeeze into the mainstream film and television of Japanese benzene at all-animation!

Because, Japanese animation does not need to wait until "Squid Game" to open up the situation and verify the follow-up value of IP like Korean dramas.

The follow-up income of IP copyright has always been the lifeblood income of Japanese benzene animation, and many traditional chaebol companies have "enjoyed Qingfu forever" because of an enduring IP.

According to Wikipedia's "Media Franchise Product Best-Selling List", the profitability of the Japanese animation IP surpassed Disney's Mickey Mouse and won the first and second place.

Nintendo and Pokémon's companies have earned more than $100 billion in total revenue from Pokémon IP;

Sanrio earned more than $80 billion with Hello Kitty;

In 2021 alone, Sanrio's character licensing business generated sales of 10.321 billion yen...

has already tasted the sweetness of IP, and it is impossible for Japanese animation to give up subsequent IP copyright income because of high production fees like Korean dramas, and it will not become a pure content processing factory for Netflix.

Why did you Netflix take these?

So what to do?

can't take a big IP to make a self-made animation, so he can only buy a classic Japanese comic IP to make a 3D, live-action copyright drama.

But this road has been verified by the Japanese film and television industry, and the success rate is extremely low...

The 3D version of "Saint Seiya" produced by Netflix has hit the streets, and the reputation of the live-action version of "One Piece" is also very reluctant...

You see, Netflix can't smash the East Japan benzene market, Shen Xudong... I really don't think PPTV is good...

……

This year's Golden Harvest's performance is not as good as last year's, because "Fuxing Tour" failed to succeed...

Hong Jinbao is not a dragon in the end, and the endurance is indeed much worse.

In addition, the two movies "Welcome to Dragon Restaurant" and "Chinatown", which have invested heavily, will only be released next year...

Although it is not a paper loss, there is a main control of "Sunshine Fierce" to support the performance.

But Chung Lifang clearly felt the change in the atmosphere of Hong Kong.

Especially after an event...

Jiahe must have been the first to stand up and condemn it, and then these forces pointed the finger at Jiahe...

It's still quite troublesome!

Shen Xudong came to Hong Kong mainly to come to see her and comfort her...

He can't solve this problem!

This thing is something that belongs to the national level...

When the two met, Zhong Lifang sprayed the current situation for half an hour, and then said: "I really don't understand these people..."

"The systems are different, and differences arise naturally, which is a normal thing!"

“… Then don't they know that the Hong Kong film and television industry relies on the mainland to eat? ”

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "People's food is different from normal channels... Not to mention this, what are the key projects next year? ”

"Cops and gangsters..."

"Another cop movie?"

"Hong Kong films are only the only ones left with police and gangster films, and they can compete with films produced in the mainland of the motherland on the same stage... It's more playless than comedy and cosplay! ”

On the contrary, in addition to the many restrictions on making police and gangster films in the mainland, there is also a lack of culture for making police and gangster films.

Hong Kong is big, so big that it's very international;

Hong Kong is also very small, so small that it is very crowded between people.

In the small space of Hong Kong, Hong Kong natives, mainlanders, third brothers, Filipino maids, foreign devils, Japanese Benzens...

The cultural gap between people is particularly large, but the distance between people is very small, and different people come into contact every day, which will cause friction and disputes, and if there are disputes, there will be police stories.

In addition, Hong Kong's local film market is very small, and it is impossible to make war movies and science fiction films if you want to make local dramatic films, and the rest is easy to operate for police and gangster films.

Moreover, police and gangster films can be very commercial or artistic, and can be suitable for audiences of all levels.

Zhong Lifang suddenly remembered something: "Andy Lau has visited me for three consecutive years..."

"Andy Lau... What does he want to do? ”

"Cooperation!"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Wait..."

Zhong Lifang was surprised: "I thought you would refuse." ”

"There's nothing to refuse, there are few stars in Hong Kong, Andy Lau is at least very dedicated, and he hasn't expressed political views..."

"Okay..."Zhong Lifang glanced at him, and then asked, "Are you looking for Huang Baiming this time?" ”

"I came here on a temporary basis, and I have to leave tomorrow, so I won't look for him... How? ”

"Every time you come to Hong Kong, you look for him..."After a pause, Zhong Lifang added: "I still have to leave a mess for me to clean up!" ”

"What a mess... It's nothing more than borrowing me to hype. ”

"You know they want to hype, and they're going."

"Then I'm romantic..."

"You're just!"

"A man's true colors..."

Zhong Lifang glanced at him with disdain, and thought of something again: "I heard that Huang Baiming has hooked up with a rich man in the mainland... What is it called..."

"Shi Jianxiang?"

"Yes, yes, that's the name, what does he do?"

"Doing finance... It can also be said to be a fraud. ”

"Scam?"

Shen Xudong briefly introduced Shi Jianxiang's operation, which is 'Internet + Finance + Movie'!

For example, for example, "Ip Man 3", Shi Jianxiang packaged it into a number of box office asset securitization products, guaranteed through his own East Hongqiao guarantee or Kuailu Group, and then financed through P2P online loans, crowdfunding platforms, and wealth management companies.

At the same time, Shifang Holdings, a Hong Kong-listed company where Shi Jianxiang is the second largest shareholder and chairman of the board of directors, originally had no film business, but after getting "Ip Man 3", Shifang Holdings purchased 55% of the mainland box office revenue rights of "Ip Man 3" for 110 million yuan, officially announcing its entry into the domestic film market.

In addition, Shenkai Co., Ltd., an A-share company controlled by Shi Jianxiang, subscribed for a share of limited partners of Shanghai Guigao Investment Management Partnership for 49 million yuan, and the fund was invested in "Ip Man 3".

The issuer of "Ip Man 3" is Huo Media, the company's legal representative Yang Zi, that is, Huang Shengyi's husband and one of the controllers of Juli Rigging, an A-share listed company.

In other words, the box office quality of only one movie is related to the rise and fall of the stock prices of three listed companies. So the box office of "Ip Man 3" is not a joke. So, a magical scene appeared, as soon as "Ip Man 3" was released, the box office was not good.

Originally, it was pointed to the release of the movie, which sold well at the box office, driving the stock price, and then cashing out at a high level.

As a result, the appearance was too ugly, and it was checked by the General Administration, the stock price fell in an uproar, and the real box office of "Ip Man 3" was also exposed...

The capital chain crisis broke out in the "Kuailu system", and the company was run by investors, and then the 2 platforms under the "Kuailu system" were suspected of illegal fundraising.

Once the hole is opened, it will only get bigger and bigger, and the illegal fund-raising methods of the "fast deer system" will be exposed.

Shen Xudong probably explained, and Zhong Lifang quickly understood: "This... This is a crime! ”

"That's right"

"That's... What to do? Are we going to care? ”

Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then said: "I will reflect it to the higher authorities, as for the specific things, we will leave it alone, just make a movie safely!" ”
