Chapter 492 Renaming Again
Maybe it was because of the hard work during this period, so she also looked a little haggard.

It is estimated that Mr. Su will give up his life to feed the tiger again.

After going to the office, Shirley asked the assistant to make a few cups of coffee.

"Boss, since I came to Hong Kong, I haven't reported to you about my work. It just so happens that you came here today, so I will report to you about my latest progress and my next plan." Shirley said.

Su Chen nodded: "Okay, let me listen to what you said."

"After I came to Hong Kong, I spent a period of time understanding the Hong Kong film market and found that there is still great potential, but there is still a big difference between Hong Kong and Hollywood."

Shirley said: "Because Hollywood has long replaced the vertical integration system by the separation of production and filming, the major production companies only focus on production, and the distribution and screening of films are handed over to independent production companies, and the survival of the fittest is adopted for promotion and screening. .”

"As for Hong Kong, Shaw Brothers' vertical integration system and Golden Harvest's satellite system. With the suspension of Shaw Brothers, there will be more film companies attached to Golden Harvest, and there are many talents from Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers."

"That's why I want to invest in Debao. I have investigated and found that Hung in Hong Kong is very charismatic and has a lot of go-getters under him. This is our chance to fight Golden Harvest."

"At the same time, we have also acquired Shaw Cinemas, and we are about to acquire ATV, so we don't have to worry about being strangled by Golden Harvest. At the same time, this is also our opportunity."

"When I came to Hong Kong, I did a few things. The first thing was to establish Oriental Entertainment Company. However, I suggest that we change the name of Oriental Films to Shengshi Films to increase brand influence."

Hearing this sentence, Su Chen nodded: "This is fine, the brand is vertical, then let's take some time to change the name."

The film company has changed its name several times since its establishment.

The integration of Shengshi Pictures and Shengshi Entertainment under Shengshi Media does have great benefits.

Shirley went on to say: "Great Age Entertainment has signed many artists, including those in the film industry and the music industry, as well as many directors and photographers, as well as a professional team. I don't know if you have noticed what I said just now."

"In addition to the special effects and special effects we provide now, as long as someone has a script or even an idea, they can ask our company's screenwriters to write the script, and at the same time they can ask our company's professional team to shoot it."

"In this way, our company's staff will not be in a state of idleness, and at the same time, their business level can be improved, and it can also provide us with an extra income."

"This is fine." Su Chen said appreciatively, "You did a good job."

"The second thing is to invest in Debao and make it a company under our Shengshi. Although it cost a lot of money, I think it can be invested, because we want to gain a foothold in the Hong Kong film market. We need to recruit these Man, plus, I think we're going to spend a lot of money on the Hong Kong film market next."

Shirley said: "As long as the newcomers have investment potential, they can invest in our companies, because we have Searchlight Independent Company and Fox, and this is our advantage."

"In this way, only we and Golden Harvest New Arts City dominate the Hong Kong film market." Tang Wanru thought for a while, "There must be a lot of risks involved."

Shirley nodded: "It is indeed risky, but our slogan is to let Chinese films enter the international stage, not limited to the Asian region. Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest also thought about entering the American market, but they failed to succeed. .”

"With our high quality, coupled with our slogan, and our current actions, I think it is worth investing even if there are risks."

After hearing these words, Su Chen pondered for a while, and then asked: "How much money do you estimate will be needed to unify the rest of the market except Jiahe and New Art City?"

He also felt that this could be an investment, because after Shaw Brothers stopped production, Debao New Art City and Golden Harvest competed in the Hong Kong film market.

"It's about [-] million U.S. dollars." Shirley said, "This does not include our investment in the acquisition of ATV, because in addition to Hong Kong, we also need to focus on markets in Japan and other countries in Southeast Asia."

"My next plan is to recruit actors, staff, directors, film and television studios, etc., to continue to expand the influence of our Shengshi, so that we can have an advantage in New Art City and Golden Harvest."

Su Chen thought about it seriously: "That is to say, the development of Shengshi Films is not only to develop movies, but also to focus on the front and back of the stage? To provide services that are ahead of New Art City and Golden Harvest?"

"Yes." Shirley said solemnly: "Because too many filmmakers have the ability and qualifications to set up new film companies, so we must monopolize the downstream and upstream channels."

"How do you plan to arrange the functions of Shengshi Entertainment?" Su Chen asked.

Shirley said: "The development direction of Shengshi Entertainment Company is divided into two: one is to cultivate, package and promote artists, I will also transfer the artist training class of Shengshi Pictures to the new company.

The second is to arrange artists' activities, such as allowing our artists to receive plays from other film companies, holding concerts and other commercial activities for our singers. "

Su Chen nodded: "This arrangement is good."

He then asked: "I just heard you mention record companies, does your investment plan also include record companies?"

"Yes, boss." Shirley nodded, "I'm going to release the news that we plan to acquire PolyGram Group and its other labels, including the Hong Kong and Taiwan branches and other labels under it. They will also be acquired one after another."

Su Chen asked: "Siemens and Philips stand behind this company. How can you have the confidence to buy this company?"

"I don't really intend to buy this company." Shirley said, "I just want to release a message to make people think that we are rich and powerful, and we will establish Shengshi Records behind our backs. Boss, your business has grown so big, believe me You will definitely be able to acquire some record companies in the future, won’t you?”

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Su Chen thought for a while: "If there is a suitable record company in Hong Kong, we can buy it and reorganize it into Shengshi Records."

If Polygram is acquired now, Su Chen will really have a heart attack, so it is still possible to set up a new record company.

Shirley nodded: "Yes, I'm already working on setting up a record company. At the same time, I got an inspiration from ATV's Shaw Brothers talent show and planned to hold a singer talent show, but this inspiration can't be realized for the time being because we don't have any TV station."

"A talent show?" Su Chen's eyes lit up: "This is fine, then we will speed up the acquisition of ATV. Once ATV is acquired, we will immediately launch a song talent show called 'Good Voice' and invite senior musicians in the industry to comment. At the same time It can also boost our ratings.”

This kind of program has the most original time and space, and you can make a decent music program by copying any two. With the two talent shows "Miss Asia" and "The Voice", I don't believe it can't be close to TVB.

"This is what I've been doing recently and what I'm going to do next." Shirley said, "I will try to fill the streets and alleys of Hong Kong with the name of Prosperity in the shortest possible time, attracting the attention of the public."

Su Chen thought for a while: "I still want to hear about your management of Shengshi Entertainment."

"Golden Age Entertainment and Golden Age Films are separated, but it's not a complete severance, because Hong Kong is not like North America, so we can't all adopt the CAA business model."

Shirley said: "In addition to the cost of CAA's betrayal, we also need to have a business model that is more suitable for Hong Kong. We have a professional public relations team, a professional legal team, record companies, film companies, and TV stations."

"This puts Glory World Entertainment ahead of Golden Harvest New Arts City. To put it simply, signing with Glory World Entertainment, even if it is a pig, as long as it makes progress, we have the ability to push it to the status of an international superstar."

"Even if you can't do well in the film industry, you can still go to the record company to sing, go to the TV station to shoot TV, shoot commercials, be a host, accept variety show announcements, etc. No matter how bad you are, you won't starve to death."

Hearing these words, Su Chen wanted to sign with his company.

Tang Wanru said: "Xue Li, your ability is indeed very strong, I believe you will be able to manage Shengshi Entertainment well."

"Thank you for the trust of the president and the boss." Shirley said, "This is the work we are currently doing at Shengshi Media, and I have compiled a work report, which will probably be submitted tomorrow."

"Okay." Su Chen nodded: "Then let's visit the company."

Accompanied by Shirley, Su Chen and Tang Wanru took a stroll around Shengshi Media, because this is just an office building, and Shengshi Entertainment is in another office building, so there is nothing to see here.

Then came to Shengshi Entertainment Company.

As soon as I entered, I really felt that there was a big difference from before.
