The alliance formed by Golden Harvest and Huang Baiming's Oriental Film Company formed an antagonistic relationship with Pacific Entertainment.

In late June, the two sides made big moves one after another.

The Oriental Golden Harvest Alliance took the lead in announcing that it was about to jointly start filming a big production.

"Super Agent".

This is a film that Chen Qiming's dream does not have.

The Oriental Golden Harvest Alliance invested 170 million Hong Kong dollars and invited Jet Li and Hollywood's top action star Arnold Schwarzenegger to star.

According to some news released by Golden Harvest, Chen Qiming speculated that this "Super Agent" is obviously a work inspired by "Lone Agent".

As for why Schwarzenegger was invited, it is obvious that Golden Harvest and Oriental Film Company feel that Chen Qiming, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Liming and others can get a good box office in Europe and the United States, which shows that Europe and the United States have begun to gradually accept Asians as starring films.

Chen Qiming's continuous success made them red-eyed, so they invested a large amount of money, and even did not hesitate to invite Schwarzenegger to help.

The big move of the Oriental Golden Harvest Alliance did not deter Pacific Entertainment.

On the third day after the other party announced the official establishment of "Super Agent", Pacific Entertainment also announced the company's big production "Resident Evil" this year.

Although none of the film's leading actors are too famous, Charlize is barely well-known in Asia.

But for this film jointly invested and produced by Pacific Entertainment, Warner Bros., and Paramount, everyone dare not underestimate it.

Moreover, the investment in this film is not inferior to the Oriental Golden Harvest Alliance.

With a total investment of 30 million US dollars, it can be called one of the films with the largest investment from Hong Kong and Taiwan this year.

The establishment of two big-budget films has made Hong Kong media people boil.

are discussing who can be better in the movies of both sides.

Especially the Oriental Golden Harvest Alliance.

The market contraction in the past two years has affected both companies.

Now suddenly cooperate to come up with 170 million Hong Kong dollars, if this film fails, it will have a strain on the two films.

"This is an unbeatable war, and I don't understand why Golden Harvest is so impulsive.

Pacific Entertainment dares to play big productions, and that's entirely because Pacific has been successful in the global market several times in a row in the past two years.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if "Resident Evil" fails, it will not affect Pacific Entertainment, they also have "Death is Coming" at the bottom of the box, "Anaconda Disaster", which has been successful twice, and "Lone Agent", which has just succeeded.

For the Pacific, this is a war that cannot be lost.

But Golden Harvest is different from Oriental films.

On Golden Harvest's side, although Jackie Chan's movies in the past two years are still selling well, they can't compare to the Pacific Ocean at all.

In addition, except for Jackie Chan's movies, almost all of the movies that Golden Harvest has invested in in the past two years have ended in losses.

Golden Harvest's books are not good, and there are even a lot of liabilities.

In this case, they still dare to play like this, I can only say that Golden Harvest is crazy. ”

Shu Qi, a famous Hong Kong film critic, said in an interview.

This Shu Qi is not another Shu Qi.

This Shu Qi is a man, he is not only a member of the Hong Kong Film Society, but also a film critic and screenwriter.

After Cai Ziming's Fuyi Film Company was established, Shu Qi was invited to the company to hold important positions.

Shu Qi's remarks are not wrong, but they are very unfavorable remarks for Golden Harvest.

But all large companies like to report good news but not bad news.

Golden Harvest is clearly the case.

Shu Qi's remarks directly pointed out that Golden Harvest now has very large financial pressure, which makes Golden Harvest very annoyed.

The next day, He Guanchang spoke.

He said angrily in the media: "Shut up, if you spread rumors again, Golden Harvest will take legal measures to accuse some people of rumors and slander." ”

Shu Qi is not afraid of Jiahe at all.

After knowing He Guanchang's remarks, he wrote an article in Hong Kong film magazines again.

This time, he didn't spray it, but directly sorted out a report of last year's Golden Harvest's income and published it in the newspaper.

As soon as this newspaper was published, it immediately caused an uproar in Hong Kong.

Because, according to this statement, last year's Golden Harvest actually lost nearly hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and at the same time, Golden Harvest still has nearly 200 million foreign debts.

Seeing this report, the media immediately boiled.

If this statement is true.

Then Golden Harvest's investment in "Super Agent" this time is really a disaster.

Even if this film is a joint investment with Oriental Films.

However, the funds of Oriental Film are insufficient, so Golden Harvest is still the largest investor.

170 million Hong Kong dollars, Golden Harvest accounted for 110 million Hong Kong dollars.

With such a huge amount of money, if this movie can't recover the cost, then Golden Harvest will lose blood.

It may even cause internal turmoil in Golden Harvest.

"Have you found out? Why did Shu Qi engage in Golden Harvest? ”

In Singapore, Chen Qiming contacted the venue of the concert here, and after signing the TV broadcast copyright of the concert with Singapore TV, he called Han Cheng in Hong Kong.

Shu Qi exploded Jiahe's ass for no reason, Chen Qiming didn't believe that he wanted to help Pacific Entertainment.

In the group, few people break out the financial statements and profit and loss problems of large companies like this.

Because if it is exposed, it is offending people, or it is sinning to death.

Shu Qi has been in the Hong Kong film industry for so many years, he obviously will not be such a brainless person.

So, there's definitely something wrong behind this.

"After finding out, according to unreliable information, Shu Qi may be working for Yang Shoucheng of the Emperor.

It is rumored that Emperor plans to enter the entertainment industry, and he has his eye on Golden Harvest. ”

On the phone, Han Cheng told the unreliable news he had found.

At this point, Chen Qiming immediately knew that this might be true.

Recently, Emperor has made great moves, repeatedly acquiring companies large and small in the entertainment industry, it is said that Emperor has also contacted Golden Harvest and wants to win Golden Harvest, and many Golden Harvest shareholders are very moved by this.

In this way, I also wonder why Tong Jiahe suddenly went crazy and made big productions.

Obviously, Golden Harvest is doing the last game.

If "Super Agent" is successful, with the cast of this movie, it will definitely make Golden Harvest turn a profit.

When the time comes, Golden Harvest will be able to provide the confidence of the company's shareholders.

And if it fails, it's a big deal to sell Golden Harvest directly.

Anyway, the current Golden Harvest is almost unable to hold on.

As for Shu Qi.

He was apparently instructed by the Queen.

Since Emperor is going to enter the entertainment industry, with its size, it is naturally one of the biggest.

And Hong Kong is the only one that can meet its goals.

Among them, Golden Harvest is the most suitable, it has the most complete equipment and facilities, has a huge film library, and also has box office giants like Jackie Chan.

As long as Golden Harvest is acquired, Emperor will be able to leap into the entertainment industry and become an industry giant immediately.

And the acquisition, naturally, has to be paid.

When Golden Harvest wants to gamble, the emperor is definitely the most unwilling to see Golden Harvest succeed.

Because of the success of Golden Harvest, it means that it is out of financial predicament, and Zou Wenhuai will not even sell Golden Harvest.

But if it fails.

If Golden Harvest fails in this project, Golden Harvest will lose hundreds of millions.

This will not only make Zou Wenhuai more determined to sell Golden Harvest, but also buy Golden Harvest at the lowest price.

It can only be said that the emperor's abacus is clanging.

In order to make Golden Harvest fail, they even broke the news of Golden Harvest's shortage of funds, so as to stimulate Golden Harvest's shareholders and allow them to sell their shares at a low price.

"Since it's the Emperor's actions, then leave it alone.

Pay more attention to the crew of "Resident Evil" here.

That's the company's focus this year, and I don't want surprises. ”

This year, Pacific Entertainment has invested in many projects.

"Lone Agent 2", "Resident Evil" and "Titanic", which has been filmed and is in post-production, is scheduled to be released at the end of the year.

There is also "Black Gold".

In addition, the best partner, Stephen Chow's Xinghui, and Tsui Hark's studio, Pacific Entertainment have all participated in the investment.

Although the investment amount for these projects is not much, it will add up to a huge number.

It can be said that there is no money on the current Pacific Entertainment account.

Until a film is released to recoup its costs, Pacific Entertainment will no longer have any funds to prepare new projects.

And "Resident Evil", this project is a series of works prepared by Chen Qiming for the company.

Even if there may be a few of them in the middle that don't make much money, there is no doubt that this series is making money.

Chen Qiming didn't want to be the first one, and there was an accident in this film, which led to the stillbirth of the follow-up movie.

"I know, I'm always watching."

"Well, so be it."

Hanging up the phone, Chen Qiming couldn't help but rub his head.

As the company opened more and more, he became more and more inadequate.

No, he just finished paying attention to the film company's side of things, and he had to call the record company again.

Although Qiming Film and Television, Qiqi Records and other companies will merge into a group company, which will be controlled by the newly established Pacific Entertainment.

But just like other group companies, Qiming Film and Television and Starting Point Records are actually independent.

Therefore, Chen Qiming still needs to pay attention to the matter of starting point records.

And this year, the starting point record is still the same.

Produced and released records of Tao Zhe, Jay Chou, Li Jiaxin, Xu Zhian and Wu Bai.

All four have good record sales.

Tao Zhe's new record sold a total of 700,000 copies in Chinese-speaking regions.

Not much, but also a lot, so that Tao Zhe is currently firmly in the second line of the music world.

Jay Chou and Li Jiaxin achieved slightly better results, Jay Chou had 860,000 copies, and Li Jiaxin relied on a roundabout route to kill back from South Korea, and the sales exploded, and the total sales of new records exceeded one million.

In addition to the above three, Xu Zhian and Wu Bai's new album has not yet been released, and it is planned to be in August.

Regarding the records of the two, Chen Qiming still needs to pay attention.

Especially Xu Zhi'an.

He is new to the starting point record, Chen Qiming must make him feel the warmth of home, and pay more attention to his records.

Otherwise, others may say that he only poachs people and is not responsible for training, which is not conducive to the company poaching other singers in the future.

In addition to the Chinese music scene, Chast and Eminem in Europe and the United States, Chen Qiming also need to pay attention.

These two people are very popular in Europe and the United States, and they were shortlisted for the Grammys at the beginning of the year, although they did not win awards, but they also swiped a wave of presence.

Speaking of the Grammys, this year's Chen Qiming was shortlisted for several awards, but only won the Best Pop Singer award.

At that time, because he was busy filming a movie, he did not attend the award in the end, and let people receive it on his behalf.

Straight to the point.

Chester and Eminem are now very popular in the United States.

There are a lot of record companies that want to pry into the corner, and in order to show their attention, the company is already working on a new record for the duo, which is scheduled to be released in September.

took the phone and called out one after another, and dealt with a lot of things that needed to be dealt with by himself, Chen Qiming breathed a sigh of relief.

"The two brothers of the Lin family made an appointment with you and want to talk to you."

At this time, Li Xiaowen walked over.

"Do you know their purpose?" Chen Qiming recalled the Lin brothers in his mind.

Lin Junfeng, Chen Qiming's fans with a background in Singapore.

In order to support himself, this guy directly drove a truck to buy records, which really left a deep impression on Chen Qiming.

And his younger brother Lin Junjie and Chen Qiming have also seen it.

The same little guy who idolizes him.

"I don't know, they didn't say." Li Xiaowen shook her head.

"Where are they?"

"It's in the lobby of the hotel."

"Ask them to come up."

……

A few minutes later, the two Lin Junjie brothers came to the exclusive private room of the hotel where Chen Qiming lived.

"Hey, Junfeng, see you again."

When the two of them entered the door, Chen Qiming was already waiting at the door.

He smiled and welcomed the two into the room.

Actually, he didn't need to see the two of them at all.

But after all, the two brothers are his loyal fans, and they have a good background, and Lin Junfeng can almost be called his first batch of fans.

Chen Qiming's fan club here in Singapore was formed with his help.

As long as he has always supported himself, Chen Qiming can't forget his roots, and he will ignore others after he is developed now.

"Brother Qiming."

"Hello, Brother Qiming."

The two brothers had different reactions when they saw Chen Qiming.

Lin Junfeng was no longer as excited as before, but greeted Chen Qiming very maturely.

On the contrary, Lin Junjie is very excited, no different from other fans seeing Chen Qiming.

"Sit down, you're welcome."

Chen Qiming gently invited the two of them to sit down.

"Brother Qiming, your "baby" is simply amazing, this is the most awesome record I have ever heard.

No wonder it sold 30 million copies worldwide, I ......"

As soon as he sat down, Lin Junjie immediately began to speak excitedly.

He admired Chen Qiming's English album "Baby", and he had to shout yyds.

"Those music critics don't think so, if they were like you, I wouldn't be scolded so badly."

The record "Baby" is a typical record that exploded in sales, but the reputation collapsed.

Because the melody of the song is so close to the public, the album was almost belittled by music critics to worthless.

If it weren't for the existence of word-of-mouth masterpieces like "My Heart is Eternal" before, Chen Qiming might have become the so-called saliva singer who was squeezed out by his peers in later generations.

"They know a fart, Brother Qiming, don't care about them, we all like your record.

It's just so good, it's simply the future indicator of pop songs in the music scene.

I believe that this record will definitely be corrected in the future. ”

Lin Junjie looked angry, as if if there was a music critic who sprayed this record now, he would immediately beat people.

"Thank you, thank you for the recognition."

Chen Qiming's heart warmed.

It's better to be a fan of yourself.

He speaks nicely and doesn't pick a prickly voice.

However, Lin Junjie's statement, Chen Qiming himself also agrees.

The record "Baby" is indeed very commercial.

But there's no denying that it's succeeded in taking pop music in a new direction.

This kind of very forward-looking record song, in the future, it will definitely be justified.

Even if the song "baby" is not very good in the dream.

But that's because the song was born in the new century.

In the 90s, this song was very ahead of its time.

It's like Jay Chou was sprayed with nothing at the beginning, but as time goes by, he is gradually canonized.

Chen Qiming believes that in the future, his very advanced record "Baby" will also have this kind of treatment.

Moreover, not to mention that the sales of this record are explosive, and it already has a historical sales figure.
