Chapter 197 Three Swords

I'm coming.

Here it comes.

"Actually, this time, one is to meet the two, and the other is to invite the two to join my company." Mr. Su said straight to the point.

Hearing this, Tsui Hark shook his head directly: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in signing with another company for the time being, I just want to make my own movie."

Not only did he say so, but he actually did so.

After leaving New Art City, he and Shi Nansheng set up a film studio, and the time to open this studio is next year.

Teacher Su smiled and said: "Director Xu, listen to me first, and then you decide whether to join or not. Even if you don't join, it doesn't matter. The main reason is that I want to express my thoughts, if you allow."

Hearing this, Tsui Hark nodded: "Mr. Su, tell me."

"In my opinion, a company should not always produce commercial films that cater to a new generation of audiences, but should pursue more artistic exploration, and it should also allow the director to use the director's imagination as much as possible."

Teacher Su said frankly: "As you can see, our DreamWorks is just a small company, not as good as New Art City Golden Harvest Shaw Brothers, but I dare to tell you today that our goal is not the box office, but The pursuit of art.

Because now too many production bosses and theaters will definitely fall into the abyss from which they cannot extricate themselves under the pressure of blindly demanding high box office and audiences demanding stimulating jokes.

Of course, since we start a company and say we don’t want to make money, we’re lying to you. Similarly, we don’t intend to only sign a contract with one director, nor do we plan to set up a satellite company like Golden Harvest, nor like New Art City. Decision-making power is unclear. "

Golden Harvest's satellite company is actually an independent producer system. Simply put, Golden Harvest is responsible for the investment and does not participate in film production, and the producers can also get corresponding box office dividends.

To put it more simply, it is to change from the previous employment relationship to a partner, which effectively stimulates the creative desire of filmmakers.

The development of this system has directly led to Golden Harvest's satellite companies (subsidiaries) blooming everywhere, and jointly creating brilliant Hong Kong movies.

This is why Golden Harvest has been able to dominate the Hong Kong film industry for many years.

"What does Mr. Su mean?" Shi Nansheng asked.

This is a very legendary woman, and it is this woman that Mr. Xu made so many movies.

Of course, people make mistakes, horses make mistakes, and even the most legendary characters will sometimes make mistakes.

But since he wanted to meet these two people, Teacher Su naturally had a way.

Teacher Su has his own three tricks.

"Since I have an appointment with the two of you, I will not hide it from you. Our DreamWorks does not have its own theater chain. It is not as good as a company like Golden Harvest. At the same time, it is not as good as the support that Princess Golden can give you."

Teacher Su grinned, because he felt that the future was in his plan, and these two people were actually not that important, but since they met now, let's make a relationship first.

There are still many things to learn from these two people in the future, and they can also use these two people to get online with Princess Jin.

In a few years, he will be sure to buy a theater in Hong Kong.

This is Teacher Su's confidence!
"According to my understanding, since Boss Zou invented the satellite system for independent production, the Hong Kong film industry has formed a combination of the four major theater companies of Golden Princess, Jiale, Debao, and Shuangnan and their corresponding satellite companies. Cinema marketing model.

But in the future, no one can guarantee that there will be new theaters, right?Once a new theater line appears, the four theater lines will be directly disintegrated.

Although I don't know when this time will be, but I am a businessman, so I naturally have my keen business intuition. Maybe in the future, I will invest in this new theater chain. "

Teacher Su took a sip of tea and continued: "Everyone here knows that under this mode, Jiale Cinemas only screens the productions of Jiahe and its satellite companies, and cannot screen others.

But this will be the fatal fragment of these film companies. The satellite system is naturally no problem when it encounters a rising period. Everyone makes money and enjoys it. Hello, me, everyone, and the system is flexible. That's it.

However, when the market fluctuates and the business decreases, the disadvantages are immediately revealed. There is no stable cooperation system between each other, and the company has no sense of responsibility to support each other.

Even if someone wants to build a close working relationship, the trust problem is difficult to break when the crisis comes. I say this, and I do not take this as an invitation to the two of you to join my company.

I just want to give you an analysis of the current prospects of the film industry, because I am still a businessman in essence. I have learned from the present to see the future, and I have connected social resources together, and various industrial miracles have been born. "

Shi Nansheng raised his glass: "Mr. Su, what you said is still a long time ago, right? Let me toast you with tea instead of wine."

"Thank you." Teacher Su raised his glass.

After taking a sip of tea, he said, "Next, I will take out my olive branch. I don't know what conditions Boss Lei gave you to Director Xu, but you might as well listen to my conditions before making a decision."

While talking, the waiter brought up the food.

Teacher Su said: "But now it's time for dinner, if we talk about things again, it would be too spoiling the scenery, why don't we eat first, and then find a quiet place to talk?"

Tsui Hark thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay."

Since Tsui Hark agreed, Shi Nansheng couldn't say anything, so he nodded.

Anyway, there is nothing wrong, so it is not a bad thing to listen first.

The main reason is that Teacher Su's understanding of martial arts is the same as his understanding of martial arts. It is rare to meet someone who understands himself in movies, so Director Xu is willing to find time to chat with Teacher Su.

After eating, Zhou Jianren helped to find a quiet place and a few bottles of wine.

After several people sat down, Teacher Su opened the wine himself.

I took turns pouring out money for everyone, and then opened the conversation: "Actually, to be frank, I'm not sure if I can sign the two, because I'm not as rich and powerful as Princess Jin, nor as wealthy as Golden Harvest. I have so many satellite company.

Because film and television companies cannot do without the support of theaters, once they leave the theaters, what good is my film no matter how good it is? "

Shi Nansheng nodded: "Yes, Mr. Su, your understanding is very clear. Once the film and television company leaves the theater, it will not be able to survive."

"So, I don't have any olive branches. I just want to make a good relationship with the two tonight, because my company has signed a few artists. If the two really set up a company independently in the future, I want to use the ladder of the two Promote some of my artists." Teacher Su said truthfully.

If you say anything, what will happen to me in a few years, others will definitely regard him as a fool.

If you talk about '30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi', it will be a foolish behavior.

Especially veteran filmmakers like Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng have a deeper understanding of the current Hong Kong film industry than Mr. Su.

Naturally, there is no need to be sloppy.

Tsui Hark wondered: "Since you know so well, Mr. Su, why do you still insist on starting a company? In my opinion, it is definitely hitting a stone with an egg."

"To be honest." Teacher Su smiled shyly, "Because I think the future film market will be in the mainland!

Moreover, we have already invested [-] million yuan to build our own film and television base in the mainland. In the future, we will continue to invest [-] million yuan every year, at least [-] million yuan to build this film and television base! "

This is Mr. Su's first axe.

"hiss!"

Everyone present could not help but gasp.

"And other than that..." Teacher Su continued with the second trick...
