Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

v1 Chapter 259: Preparing to form a theater

()

Just as everyone imagined - the best original movie song undisputedly fell to Xu Cun and to "The Original Landscape of Hometown".

Honestly -

For this award, Xu Cun doesn't care too much - first of all, Xu Cun, who has already made a big name in the world, really doesn't like the Academy Award, let alone the small award for Best Original Movie Song? Secondly, "The Original Landscape of Hometown" was not created by Xu Cun, and Xu Cun did not feel the slightest sense of accomplishment when he awarded Xu Cun.

but--

After all, the Golden Statue Award is sponsored by Xu Cun, of course Xu Cun cannot destroy the Golden Statue Award!

Therefore, as the first person to take the stage to accept the award, Xu Cun behaved very solemnly - taking the trophy handed over by the famous musician Mr. Yi Wen, Xu Cun first shook hands with Mr. Yi Wen, and then shouted loudly off the stage : "As the first filmmaker to win the Academy Award, I am honored, really honored, because it is very likely that I will be recorded in the annals of Hong Kong film history and even the world film history because of this award! Thank you for the Academy Awards. The organizer presented such an important award to me..."

After delivering his acceptance speech, Xu Cun shook the trophy in his hand and walked off the podium.

With Xu Cun, a person with a very high status, proofing, other filmmakers are all serious about the Academy Awards, so that the Academy Awards ceremony has become a veritable film festival.

Judging from the award-winning situation, it is no exaggeration to use the word "sweep" to describe "Dao Ma Dan".

but--

Few people complain about this - "Dao Ma Dan" is really good, and it has also won awards internationally, so no one will think that there is a problem with "Dao Ma Dan" winning so many awards.

Besides, since there are so many awards in the Academy Awards, everyone can gain a little bit.

Taking a step back, even if it didn't win, it got a lot of nominations.

All in all, the first Academy Awards was a success.

Therefore, most of the people who came to participate in the Academy Awards also attended the Academy Awards dinner after the Academy Awards.

Of course, this does not include Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun, Zhang Youxin, Zhong Yijie, Liao Yiyuan and other top figures in the Hong Kong film industry - their participation in the Academy Awards is enough to give the sponsors face of the Academy Awards. Can you expect them to surrender their status and share the joy with the people?

Different from Shao Yifu and others, Xu Cun also attended the Academy Awards dinner - Xu Cun attended the Academy Awards dinner not because Xu Cun's current status was not as good as Shao Yifu and others, but because Xu Cun wanted to be at the Academy Awards dinner. Find someone to talk to.

...

Like the Oscar dinner, the Academy Awards dinner is a Western-style reception. There are long tables and round tables. Everyone can sit and drink and eat Western food, or they can run around with wine glasses and take the opportunity to find someone to connect with each other.

There is also a small stage in the banquet hall. Advertising logos of various products are printed on the stage screen. Some stars who have won awards appear on the stage one after another, posing for reporters to take pictures.

Under Shu Qi's introduction, Xu Cun met the person he wanted to see - Yuan Bifu.

The proprietor of Taiping Theatre is Yuan Xingqiao, Yuan Bifu is the granddaughter of Yuan Xingqiao and the current proprietor of Taiping Theatre.

The purpose of Xu Cun looking for Yuan Bifu is very simple - Xu Cun wants to buy the Taiping Theater, um... More precisely, Xu Cun is ready to set up a theater chain.

Why did Xu Cun prepare to form a theater chain?

Because, DreamWorks' current situation is not good.

Originally, the main theater used by DreamWorks was the Golden Princess Theater, and the alternate theater used was the Shaw Brothers Theater.

But--

Both theaters now have hidden dangers.

Let's talk about the Golden Princess Cinema first.

Originally, Lei Jue Kun's main industries were Kowloon Jianye and Kowloon Bus.

But with the collapse of the real estate market, the situation of Kowloon Jianye has been deteriorating, and it has even reached the point where manpower cannot change it.

Last year, Sun Hung Kai Properties announced the acquisition of KMB's shares in the stock market, triggering a takeover war. As a result, Sun Hung Kai Properties successfully acquired KMB and held a total of 39.5% of the shares of KMB. Lei Jue Kun, who held 20.38%, could only obediently hand over the management rights of KMB. , become one of the shareholders.

How did Xu Cun grow from nothing and then surpass Lei Juekun in wealth, Lei Juekun knows clearly, can Lei Juekun not be jealous?

Therefore, Lei Juekun, who has nothing to do, is no longer satisfied to be only a theater dealer. He also has to invest and distribute movies. To be clear, he wants to fully enter the film industry.

As a result, with the rise of New Art City, the Golden Princess Cinema is more and more inclined to New Art City, even at the expense of the interests of DreamWorks, which can bring great benefits to Golden Princess Cinema.

Take "Beware of Little Hands" released by DreamWorks as an example:

Originally, "Beware of Little Hands" still had some box office potential, but in order to free up the theater line for "The Difficult Brothers and Difficulties" in Xinyicheng, Lei Juekun actually released "Beware of Little Hands" ahead of schedule, making "Beware of Little Hands" at least seven. 800,000 box office.

Although--

Afterwards~lightnovelpub.net~ Lei Juekun called Xu Cun to explain the matter, and Xu Cun also said that it was not a big deal.

But in fact, this incident has aroused Xu Cun's vigilance - in case, one day Lei Juekun will also draw an important movie of Xu Cun in advance for a movie in Xinyicheng? You must know that although the box office of Hong Kong movies is not much, it is the yardstick for purchasing Hong Kong movies in other regions. Therefore, if you draw a movie in advance, sometimes the loss is not just millions!

Let's talk about the alternate cinema chain, Shaw Brothers Cinema.

In fact, there is nothing to say about this - now, the competition between Phoenix TV and TVB has entered a white-hot stage, and there is already a grudge between the two. At a critical moment, Shao Yifu is likely to fall into the lower stone. Therefore, Xu Cun must take precautions in advance!

Therefore, it is imperative to build a theater line belonging to DreamWorks!
