…

This year, Xu Cun is really busy. It can be said that he is so busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year that he has no time to pay attention to the changes in the Hong Kong film industry. ;

Therefore, it was only after Xu Cun had a little free time that he found out that great changes have taken place in the Hong Kong film industry.

The first change is that Art New City is going from bad to worse.

There are many reasons for the deteriorating state of Art City. Among them, the Kowloon Lei family owns two major listed companies, 'Kowloon Bus' and 'Kowloon City Construction', and is also one of the shareholders of 'Kowloon Metro', with assets of billions of Hong Kong dollars. , Lei Qizheng doesn't like Princess Jin's family business, so he doesn't care about Xinyicheng.

But Lei Qizheng's attitude is actually not the most important reason for Xinyicheng's deterioration - after all, Lei Qizheng, a layman, does not participate in the specific operation of Xinyicheng, which is not necessarily a bad thing for Xinyicheng.

The main reason for the deterioration of Xinyicheng Xinyicheng is still that Mecca and Shi Tian are not as enthusiastic about movies as they used to be. Yu studied the daily stock market; the latter also had a bunch of books on real estate around. The two even "persuaded" Huang Baiming, who was still vigorously developing movies, saying that the golden age of Hong Kong movies was coming to an end, and it would be better to stop it now. It can be seen that what the Xinyi City has lost is not creativity and talent, but military spirit.

In general, the current Xinyicheng has almost become a situation where Huang Baiming is the only one who can claim the title - except that at the beginning of this year, relying on the distribution network of DreamWorks, the "Best Partner 5" shot with special effects technology was released to Europe and the United States and earned two dollars. In addition to more than ten million US dollars, the entire 1987 Xinyicheng almost all relied on Huang Baiming's family comedy "The Announcement of Eight Stars", and Mecca and Shi Tian's casual works "Beautiful Lady" and "The Long and Short Feet". "Love", "The Red Lips of Righteousness", "Eight Treasures" and other films all performed well.

Equity distribution of Xinyicheng: Huang Baiming holds 9%, Shi Tian holds 19%, Princess Jin and Mecca jointly hold 72%, and in this 72% equity, Jin Princesses accounted for fifty-one percent and Mecca forty-nine percent.

That is to say, Princess Jin represented by Lei Qizheng, who doesn't ask questions, holds 36.72% of the shares of Xinyi City, and Mecca, who only knows about the daily stock market quotations every day, accounts for 3% of Xinyi City. Shi Tian, ​​who studies real estate and property speculation every day, holds 19% of the equity of Xinyi City, while Huang Baiming, the only self-motivated and the only one who can help Xinyicheng make money, only owns Xinyicheng. Nine percent equity.

Let me ask, how could Xinyicheng not go from bad to worse under such circumstances?

Now, Huang Baiming already has the intention of leaving and working alone, and he is just waiting for a suitable opportunity.

In addition, the Hong Kong film market is prosperous, Nanyang, Taiwan, South Korea and other places are willing to invest in Hong Kong films to make profits, but because of the four major cinema chains (DreamWorks Cinema, Jiahe Cinema, Golden Princess Cinema, Shuangnan Cinema, etc.) Line) dominates the Hong Kong film industry, and foreign capital can occasionally invest in Hong Kong films, but they are unable to obtain prime time slots and starring popular movie stars. Therefore, Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong, the other two shareholders of the Golden Princess Cinemas, decided to form another Xinbao Cinemas, independent of the four major cinema chains, to act as an intermediary between foreign and local independent production companies. The released films can not only be screened in Xinbao Cinemas, but foreign investment can also bring them back to the local market to continue making profits.

The second change is the change of Jiahe.

The shareholders of Golden Harvest still failed to resist the temptation of rising stock prices and property prices before the stock market crash.

Luckily-

Relying on the good relationship established with Xu Cun, DreamWorks helped Jiahe release a "Police Story" and a "Best Lucky Star", which made Jiahe's foundation stronger than the previous life.

In addition, last year Xu Cun's reminder to Zou Wenhuai played a role - Zou Wenhuai hesitated again and again, and finally reduced half of his investment in the stock market and property market.

The combination of these two things prevented Jiahe from becoming the same as in the previous life, and from then on, its vitality was severely damaged, and then it gradually declined.

after the stock market crash.

Frightened and heartbroken, Zou Wenhuai ignored the troubles of his wife Yuan Xihua and immediately adopted Xu Cun's suggestion.

Of course, Zou Wenhuai can't even give up the most basic family love because of Xu Cun's "magic stick" - Zou Wenhuai is also cultivating Zou Chongyan, but unlike the previous life, Zou Chongyan does not Then he is the only heir cultivated by the Golden Harvest Dynasty.

The third change, Debao declined.

In this stock market crash, it was not Jiahe's Zou Wenhuai who was hurt the most, but Debao's Pan Disheng who lost HK$460 million without even entering the game.

Even if Pan Disheng has a little wealth, even if Pan Disheng's father is a rich man, but losing the 460 million Hong Kong dollars all at once still hurts Pan Disheng to the bone, so that Pan Disheng can't take Debao Film Company, which has just improved. sell.

Currently.

Under Xu Cun's instructions, DreamWorks Films has purchased the film library of Debao Films.

The staff of Debao Films scattered - in the current period of high prosperity of Hong Kong Films, they are not worried about finding their next home.

The equipment and equipment of Debao Film Company was divided up by the newly emerging small and medium-sized film companies.

The most valuable Debao cinema chain of Debao Films is now reduced to a scattered cinema chain like the Free Cinema ~lightnovelpub.net~ to undertake low-cost and even three-pole films produced by independent production companies - this is also Debao The reason why the theater line failed to rank among the four major theater lines.

All in all, Hong Kong films have almost reached their heyday, but all the big-name film companies except DreamWorks are in decline.

Xu Cun, who has had such rich experiences in two lives, knows too well that these small and medium-sized film companies that are dancing happily now are actually a bunch of rabble. They can also make a little money by taking advantage of the general trend. make.

Therefore, if Xu Cun does not want Hong Kong films to decline, he cannot let the big film companies that have the courage and the strength to play big productions decline - after all, no matter how powerful Xu Cun is, he cannot fight an industry alone.

Therefore, after understanding the current situation of major film companies, Xu Cun personally instructed DreamWorks Studios to open "Captain America" ​​(production cost of 82 million US dollars), "Spider-Man" (production cost of 8,700 US dollars) 10,000 US dollars), "Zhu Xian 3" (production cost of 210 million Hong Kong dollars), "Three Kings and Two Sisters" (production cost of 120 million Hong Kong dollars), "Rain Man" (production cost of 25 million US dollars) 5 A big production to tell Hong Kong filmmakers: The era of big production has started in Hong Kong!
