The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 235 Heroes
At the meeting, Li Jianhui also inquired about the film company's plans to release the film in August.

If June is a fight between several parties, then August will be a duel between Jiayi and Jiahe.

Zou Wenhuai was very ambitious last year and prepared [-] million US dollars to cooperate with well-known Hollywood directors and companies to shoot six films and help Golden Harvest enter the European and American markets.

The first film of the cooperation is currently competing with Speed ​​Speed, and the second Cannonball Speed ​​is currently preparing for release. It will be released simultaneously in North America and Asia on August 8, Xiangjiang time.

Jiayi Company's second film in this summer's vacation is coincidentally released on August 8nd, and the two sides are bound to compete in Hong Kong and other Asian markets by then.

Zeng Zhiwei said: "Li Sheng, The True Colors of a Hero directed by Wu Yusen has completed filming and is now in post-production work. I believe this film will definitely not lose to Cannonball Run."

In order to attract Wu Yusen to Jiayi, Zeng Zhiwei spent a lot of thought. Fortunately, Jiayi has strong strength and allowed and supported him to shoot shootouts, so he was allowed to join Jiayi Film Company.

The True Colors of a Hero is also the first film that John Woo joined Jiayi to shoot, and the main line is still provided by Li Jianhui.

In this regard, Zeng Zhiwei, as the general manager of the film company, felt very ashamed, and also felt blush for the company's screenwriter. Li Jianhui was in charge of the entire Xinjian department. He was very busy every day, and he didn't have much time to ask Jiayi Group.

However, every time they encounter this kind of summer or Spring Festival, they need Li Jianhui to give them the main line, so that they can be sure to suppress the movies released by other film companies at the box office.

Naturally, there are no Ti Lung, Zhou Runfa, and Zhang Guorong as the protagonists in this movie. The first two are TVB artists, and the latter is an ATV artist.

Song Zihao, Xiaoma Ge, and Song Zijie are starred by Liu Songren, Wang Jie, and Hua Tsai respectively, Tan Cheng is played by Tang Zhenye, and Jackie is played by Konno Misako.

Although the actors have changed and there may be some gaps in acting skills, Li Jianhui believes that this will still be a successful movie.

And there is a Japanese actor in this movie, which is very good for opening up the Japanese market.

Now, Jiayi arranges some actors from other regions, especially actors from Japan and the United States, in each film so that the film can go out of Hong Kong.

Jiayi Film Company will make arrangements according to the main market for which the film is suitable and the main roles. Under the condition that the first protagonist is Chinese, American or Japanese actors will be arranged as the second leading role or important supporting roles as much as possible.

Tan Cheng's company originally planned to let Yasuaki Kurata play the role this time, but considering entering the Japanese market, Japanese audiences might not be willing to accept this role as the big villain, so they let Tang Zhenye play this role.

Although Yasaki Aota often plays villains in Japan, it is different in Xiangjiang, especially since this film will enter the Japanese market.

Originally, there were not many Japanese actors in the movie, and he was made the big villain. Although this is just a movie, the audience may not be accepted from the standpoint of the country and nationality where they are located.

Jiayi Film and Television Company has also gone through a lot of considerations when selecting roles. The purpose of adding Japanese or American actors is to allow Jiayi Films to better enter these markets, not to cause any trouble for itself.

In terms of role arrangement, these actors will try their best to arrange on the side of the first protagonist, rather than making him a villain.

Even if it is really arranged as a villain, this villain must be the kind that the audience can't hate after seeing it, so that it is beneficial for Jiayi Film Company to enter these markets.

"I hope that you can negotiate as much as possible during this period of time with theaters in Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Although we can't do a global simultaneous release, at least the five Southeast Asian countries, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan should be screened simultaneously with Hong Kong. "

He is not too clear about the achievements of Cannonball Speed ​​in the previous life. This life will only be stronger than the previous life. After all, there is a powerful consortium behind Golden Harvest, and the Asian theater chain is stronger than the previous life.

Leaving aside the global box office for the time being, Li Jianhui hopes that in the Asian box office, the true qualities of a hero can overwhelm Cannonball Speed.

Although the Golden Princess Cinema Line has accelerated its expansion due to its IPO and financing in the past month or so, at present, the Golden Princess Cinema Line is mainly in the Xiangjiang, Baodao and Malay markets, and there is no large-scale layout in other regions for the time being.

If Heroes wants to be screened in these regions at the same time, it needs to discuss with the local theater company in advance.

Fortunately, the strength of the Golden Princess Cinemas in Asia is not bad now, and it has long-term cooperation with multiple cinemas, so there will be no major problems under normal circumstances.

Zeng Zhiwei is also very confident about this. As soon as Li Jianhui finished speaking, he promised that on August 8, the true colors of heroes will be screened in the five Southeast Asian countries, Baodao, Japan and South Korea at the same time.

In terms of publicity, there is no need for Li Jianhui to give special instructions. Ye Jiexin is personally responsible for this aspect. Not only Jiayi Group will increase publicity efforts, but also cooperate with local media in various places. Jiayi Group can be said to be very familiar with this aspect.

Now the only thing that troubles Jiayi and even the entire Donghua Consortium is the European and American channels. At present, they do not have a long-term partner, and it is still relatively difficult to let the film be released in these regions.

Although Li Jianhui has also arranged investment companies such as Meiya, Lipu, Lanxi, and Huaying to lay out this aspect, it will take some time. At present, if the works of these film companies of the Donghua Consortium want to be listed in Europe and the United States, they can only find distributors or theaters. Online merchants cooperate.

In this regard, Li Jianhui did not make a hard requirement, but only allowed Jiayi to reach cooperation with some European and American cinema operators as much as possible in the past two months without losing its own interests.

At present, Jiayi's focus is to seize the Asian market and ensure that Jiayi Film and Television Company can become the leader of the Asian film industry.

After the meeting, the manager of artist department Le Yiling specifically asked Li Jianhui about the signing of Miss Asia.

Since Xinyicheng, Yongsheng, Xinhui, and Sanhe, which have a good relationship with Jiayi, also have their own artist department, they also need to recruit newcomers.

The annual resources of Miss Asia are also taken by these companies. Considering the relationship between these parties, with the consent of Li Jianhui, these parties can also sign the contestants of Miss Asia.

Especially among the top ten, Jiayi himself will only sign three people, and the remaining seven people are each based on their own abilities.

Tomorrow night is the final, Le Yiling wants to ask Li Jianhui if there is any designated recruiter, if not, she will not make any further moves.

If Li Jianhui had an internal appointment in mind, then she would have to make some arrangements to ensure that this person could enter the top three.

As for saying that it would be unfair, unfortunately, Li Jianhui has the final say on this art. If he wants to focus on cultivating a person, then the beginning of this person may be the end point that countless people will never reach in their lifetime.
