The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 327 Jia Yi
On April [-]st, taking advantage of the music festival to increase Wang Jie's popularity, Wang Jie's third solo album, which is also the second Cantonese album, went on sale. The title song is Hero Tears Cantonese version Block My Life.

With the high popularity and the strong sales network of the Xinjian Department, Xiangjiang sold more than [-] copies in the first day of sales.

Relying on this data, not only the management of Jiayi Music Company, but also the entire senior management of Jiayi Group were surprised by it.

If there is no accident, Wang Jie will create the myth of becoming platinum in two days, which will also break his own record of becoming platinum in the shortest time last year.

On this day, Block My Life also topped the Xiangjiang music list in April, and its number of song requests was twice that of the second-ranked "Prodigal Son Heart".

The actions of Jiayi Group are obviously more than that. Jiashi’s administrative department issued an announcement that Jiashi’s summer drama will be adapted from the blueprint of the fairy tale novel Zhu Xian. Wang Jie will play the protagonist Zhang Xiaofan, Brigitte Lin will play Lu Xueqi, and Li Saifeng will play Baguio. Andy Lau, Chen Songren, Zhong Chuhong, Zhou Xiaoyan, Ye Qianwen and other well-known people.

This is why Jiashi has a lot of money and wealth, so it uses so many stars in a TV series. In terms of cost and its artists, generally a TV series uses relatively well-known stars for the main male and female protagonists, and relatively famous stars for the main supporting roles. The green leaf is not bad, and even some TV dramas directly use passerby in order to reduce costs.

In the past, Xiangjiang was like the Yitian sword, and no one dared to compete with it when a martial arts drama came out.

But now the times have begun to change, especially the Jiayi Group's troubles, which led to Xianxia from Zhu Xian.

After watching Xianxia, ​​you look back at Wuxia, and you don’t think Wuxia is so amazing, especially the Misty Journey serialized on Jiayi Daily, the road to immortality serialized by Oriental Daily, and the disciples of Sanqing serialized by Sing Tao Daily. .

All kinds of magic weapons in it, monks moving mountains to fill seas, and even ascending to the upper world, make these book fans fascinated.

On the other hand, looking at the martial arts serialized in Ming Pao, I always feel that they are not exciting. Compared with Xianxia, ​​the martial arts moves in Wuxia are too powerful.

Of course, there are also a group of die-hard martial arts fans who vehemently criticize these novels.

As the promoter of all this, Li Jianhui obviously doesn't care about the verbal attacks of a small number of book fans.

Because of his unhappiness with many martial arts masters at the beginning of his development, Jiashi has been suppressed by TVB and even ATV in TV dramas.

In order to change this situation, he deliberately brought Zhu Xian out, in order to break the status of martial arts in Xiangjiang. So far, the effect is not bad.

The previous Zhu Xian caused a sensation in the novel world, allowing people from all walks of life to have a preliminary understanding of what a fairy is. Although this is just a romance novel in the skin of a fairy, he is also out of the category of martial arts.

Coupled with the hot serialization of Misty Journey, the classification of Xianxia has been initially settled.

Whether it is Oriental Daily or Sing Tao Daily, it is a good start, indicating that some authors have begun to enter this category for creation. As time goes by, a large number of excellent fairy tale novels will inevitably emerge.

That is to say, the computer penetration rate is still very low, and the Internet speed is not very good, otherwise Li Jianhui would have asked Jiayi Group to build a novel website.

At present, this can only be a small matter, because it is serialized in newspapers, the number of words of a novel should not be too long, and it is impossible to spread a large number of works.

In this era, except for famous writers, novels cannot be submitted, which is basically a fee.

And there are only so many Xiangjiang newspapers, such as Jiayi, Dongfang, Sing Tao and other major newspapers, they will only serialize one novel, and the other pages will be reserved for current affairs news and advertisers.

The Jiayi Group, which is ready to do something, is not finished. In addition to announcing the adaptation of Zhu Xian's TV series, it also announced that the summer blockbuster will be written and directed by the director of the hero. by Ye Qianwen.

The signal revealed by Jiayi is very obvious, that is, to promote the development of these few high-ranking people, film and television music, these three will be the banner of Jiayi Group in the next five years or even ten years.

Even Lin Qingxia, who is well-known in Taiwan and Southeast Asia, and even Zhong Chuhong, the first Asian sister champion, can't compare with the three of them in resources.

Those two can at most become movie queens. Without the talents of Ye Qianwen, Kuang Meiyun, Cai Qin and others in the music scene, they cannot achieve three-dimensional development.

Jiayi needs superstars who can cross film and television songs to support the scene, and even suppress Zhang Guorong from ATV and Mei Yanfang from the Far East, so some resources will be tilted towards these three.

Fortunately, Jiayi has a lot of channels, and Jiayi Films produces a relatively large number of movies every year, and Jiayi Group is not the one who is short of money. In addition, these three are currently focusing on the music industry, so Jiayi has enough resources for Brigitte Lin , Zhong Chuhong, Michelle Yeoh, Jing Daiyin, Chen Miner, Tang Zhenye, Miu Qiaowei, Huang Rihua and others.

Jiayi announced that it was okay, but some film companies who were planning to release it in July panicked. They had seen the brutality of the hero's true nature last year.

This year, it is still written and directed by John Woo, and it is a movie similar to the true colors of a hero. With the high popularity of Wang Jie, Hua Tsai, and Ye Qianwen, it is not easy for anyone to pretend.

Even Golden Harvest, which is competing with Jiayi, is considering whether to change the schedule, although Zou Wenbai has confidence in the box office of the movie starring Jackie Chan.

But it also depends on who you meet. Wang Jie’s reputation in the entertainment industry is now at the peak of the sky. My life’s album will be blocked for two days platinum, five days double platinum, plus last year’s hero’s true character bonus, and the TV drama Zhu Xian’s blessing, even if it’s I'm afraid a bad movie will have a good box office.

And since Jiayi announced in advance with great fanfare, it means that Jiayi's senior executives are very appreciative of the script of this movie, and coupled with John Woo's directing ability, the chance of a bad movie is very small.

In the office of the general manager of Golden Harvest, Zou Wenhuai, who had been thinking for a long time, called the general manager of Chimelong Cinemas, hoping to help him coordinate so that Golden Harvest's movie will be the main screening in August. The industry is placed in July.

It's a pity that the communication is not ideal. The largest shareholder of Chimelong Cinemas is Hang Lung Group, Cheung Kong is second, Shaw Brothers is third, and Golden Harvest is only fourth.

This summer, the films of Shaw Brothers and Jardine Films will be featured in June, the films of Golden Harvest and Shun Tak Films will be featured in July, and the films of Asian Films and Cheung Kong Films will be featured in August.

All parties are preparing to get a good box office in the summer. Knowing that the opponent in July is fierce, how could they deliberately bump into it.

Not to mention the cooperative film companies of Chimelong Cinemas and Kowloon Cinemas, even the Golden Princess Cinemas, Ye Han, the general manager of Haojiang Films, also complained that he was unlucky, that the lottery was not drawn well, and that he and Jiayi were the main show in the same month.

To say that the quality of the film prepared by Haojiang Film Company for the summer vacation is not low. It is written and directed by Wang Jing. It is a gambling film with the support of Haojiang Tourism Company.

Probably Li Jianhui also understands the plot, although this is completely different from the well-known God of Gamblers in the previous life, it is definitely an excellent work.

It's just that there are many film companies in Xiangjiang now, even within the Donghua Club, there are as many as ten film companies, and collisions are naturally inevitable.

Now the Golden Princess Cinemas must be showing major blockbusters every month, each of which is meticulously produced.

Regardless of the large production volume of Jiayi Films, it only gets two major screenings a year, one in the summer and the other in normal months. Christmas and Spring Festival have no chance with Jiayi.

It has to be said that this era is the craziest era for Hong Kong's film industry. With a population of less than [-] million, Xiangjiang has [-] theaters and hundreds of film companies.

And these theaters are mainly in the hands of Golden Princess, Chimelong, and Kowloon, which also leads to a very tight release period.

Fortunately, most theaters now adopt the multi-screen mode. If a theater has only one screen as in the [-]s, there will be countless movies that cannot be shown in Hong Kong.
