Chapter 22 There is a New Church Father in Malaysia

(Two digressions, reading the book reviews in the book review area in the past two days, some readers hope that the pace will speed up, some readers hope that the pace will slow down, and some people hope that there will be some plot conflicts on the set and lead to other bridges, thank you for your advice, I'm working hard, in fact, writing this book is also a learning process, because I haven't prepared it, and I was in a hurry when I opened the book, basically in a state of reading and understanding Hong Kong film history while coding words, and I will do my best to write it well.) )

Le Yiling has not seen anyone for more than three weeks, and seems to have lost some weight, but she is in good spirits, and she is sitting in her crowded partition outside Huo Dongjun's office, looking at the articles and things that appeared in the company during her absence during this time.

Seeing Huo Dongjun walk in, Le Yiling closed the Wen Jiàn clip in front of him, stood up and said, "Mr. Huo." ”

"It's okay to call me Ah Jun, buy it for you, Ji Du said that you got off the plane at 7:50 in the morning, and I don't think you have eaten breakfast yet. Huo Dongjun shook the two breakfasts he was carrying towards Le Yiling: "I haven't eaten either, why don't you go into the room and talk while eating?"

"Thanks, I'm going to make two cups of coffee. Le Yiling smiled at Huo Dongjun and turned to prepare coffee.

Huo Dongjun entered his office, moved a chair to the opposite side of his desk, cleaned up the things on the desk, and waited for Le Yiling to come in.

"Coffee. Le Yiling walked in with two cups of coffee, and there was a copy of Wen Jiàn under her armpit, Huo Dongjun took the coffee in her hand, put a sausage omelette in front of her, and took a sip of coffee while it was hot:

"While it's hot, the fat boy in the ice room downstairs specially helped me fry for an extra thirty seconds. ”

Le Yiling cut off a piece of fried egg with a plastic knife and fork and put it in his mouth and swallowed it, and said to Huo Dongjun: "Of the five major cinema chains in Japan, only three are active now, Kadokawa Club, Toei Club, Toho Club, and Shochiku Club In the film exhibition, they have been bullied by other theaters in the past two years, and have gradually shrunk the film business, and instead increased the operation of Kabuki, opera, drama and other drama performances. Turning to the filming industry, his reputation plummeted, and many Japanese filmmakers think that the previous and current presidents of Nikko have ruined the reputation of Nikho Kaisha, and at present, Toho Kaisha is the well-deserved first in Japan, Kadokawa Pictures is second, and Toei Kaisha is third

Huo Dongjun listened to Le Yiling talk about the Japanese film environment, cut the fried egg in his hand and asked, "Have you come into contact with these film companies?"

"I've been in contact with all four of them except Toho. Le Yiling took a sip of coffee and said.

"The result?"

Shochiku did not express his position, Toei, Kadokawa are willing to buy out the film according to the Hong Kong box office price of 6% spoon spoon, but before they buy out, they have to do a market analysis, and they will not wait for the Hong Kong box office statistics to buy out, to put it bluntly, they have to judge how much profit the film can finally reach in Japan.

Huo Dongjun picked up the omelette with a fork and put it in his mouth: "Japan and South Korea are the most difficult for Hong Kong films to break into, they would rather make less money than let foreign films dominate the local market, but you didn't talk about daily life." ”

"Riko said that they can release movies in their theaters in the form of shares, but their reputation has been poor recently, except for Japan's salty and wet guys to watch ** movies, few fans will choose the movies released by Rihuo. Le Yiling said.

"Chiba Shinichi is not very famous in Japan? It is better to call Yongsheng to take the lead, not to buy out, but to choose to share with the daily live, and try to go into the water? Xiang Watson likes to follow the trend the most, but he likes to do business the first first, I think he must be willing, Golden Harvest bought out Yongsheng's film for three million US dollars, and has guaranteed his investment cost, even if he makes less, he also prefers to share, he should also want to know whether his film is popular in Japan. Huo Dongjun said after eating the sausage in a few bites

"If you talk about the biggest gain, it should be an uncertain news in Malaysia, Malaysia has a new godfather, Chen Zhiyuan, Chinese, rumored to be a close friend of Malaysian Prime Minister and Minister of Defense and Home Minister Mahathir, / When Mahathir was Malaysia's Minister of Trade and Industry, Chen Zhiyuan got the Malaysian franchise of McDonald's and 11, and the entire McDonald's and chain cities in Malaysia were his, and last year, with Mahathir as Minister of Home Affairs, Chen Zhiyuan successfully defeated everyone, got a gambling license in Malaysia, exclusively operated the Malaysian gaming business, and his success group and other privatized enterprises are the largest cash flow in the whole of Malaysia. The news I received was that Berjaya Group was interested in entering the film industry and was preparing to build a Berjaya cinema chain in Malaysia. Le Yiling told Huo Dongjun the news he had collected in Malaysia: "At present, several film companies in Malaysia are all in danger, once Chen Zhiyuan enters the film industry, he will not give others a way to go, all his businesses are unique in Malaysia, and the industry that Chenggong Group has entered can only have one Chenggong Group." ”

Huo Dongjun sighed, smiled at Le Yiling and said: "It's really the new godfather, compared to him, these movie tycoons in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and even Li Jiacheng and Ho Hongsheng are afraid to bow down, at least Li Jiacheng doesn't dare to say that he will drive out other real estate developers in Hong Kong." ”

"Do you think we should take this line?" Huo Dongjun waited for Le Yiling to finish his last bite of breakfast before continuing to ask.

Le Yiling nodded: "Almost all cinemas in Malaysia are foreign films, and Hong Kong movies are the most, because the main consumers of cinemas are Malay-Chinese, I think we can contact the media companies under this Chenggong Group, whether it is a co-production or a way of sharing, and cooperate with Chenggong Group, I don't think other filmmakers still have any advantages in front of Chenggong Group, the most important thing is that now Chenggong Group has not yet determined whether it is really entering the film, we may be able to be the first to be the first and move each other, After all, it is very embarrassing for Dongyi, an independent film company, to store zài in Hong Kong, and the prime time of the three major cinema chains will not be arranged for Dongyi, but if Dongyi has the support of capital flow behind him, we can lay out from Southeast Asia. ”

Huo Dongjun nodded: "Except for Japan and Malaysia, what about other places?"

Le Yiling opened the text jiàn folder, clicked a few numbers and said: "Korean filmmakers have the most requirements to buy Hong Kong films, if Dongyi does not open the market in other regions, it is impossible for South Korea to sell it, even if it is sold, the price will be very low, Koreans only recognize stars, Cheng Long, Zhang Guorong, Zhou Yan, Bruce Lee, Lin Qingxia, only the movies starring these people, Korean filmmakers will consider buying out at a high price, if there are no stars, they will only quote a number, so that you don't even have room for bargaining." ”

"When I finish filming this movie, you accompany me to Malaysia to see the scenery. Huo Dongjun was silent for a while and said loudly.
