Reborn Hong Kong's Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 52 Watching Movies

Due to Chen Shufen's reminder, Su Cheng also deliberately drew people's attention to the Shaw Cinemas. Sure enough, signs of it had already appeared, and the film "Best Partner", which still had about [-]% of the attendance, was forcibly withdrawn.The reason given was to act in accordance with the contract.

All of a sudden, it was a slap in the face for the newly established Tengyue Cinemas.

After all, it is a new theater chain, and it still needs time to attract movie fans to come.Shaw's withdrawal directly caused the box office to drop sharply to 11 Hong Kong dollars the next day.

In desperation, Su Cheng directly announced that he would be allowed to paint.The total box office has accumulated to 2362 million Hong Kong dollars.

Then the system settlement appeared: "Ding! The profit rate of the movie "Best Partner" is 950%. Score: Super! Special reward for the movie "Back to the Future"."

It turned out to be a Hollywood movie?This made Su Cheng a little unexpected.

Before he could take a closer look, Jiang Zhiqiang walked over and said happily, "Boss, the publisher is here."

"Oh? Who are there?" Su Cheng was stunned and asked curiously.

Jiang Zhiqiang said: "China Film Group on Wandao represents Cao Lun, Toei's Oda Yilang, and Cathay Pacific's Yi Hong."

Is this the main force from all regions?

With a slight smile, Su Cheng said: "Then you will be the plenipotentiary representative in this matter. I only have one request for Southeast Asia. You can earn less in other places. It must be a buyout. Our company needs a lot of cash flow."

"Okay, boss, I know how to talk."

After Jiang Zhiqiang left, Su Chengcai began to carefully check the movie "Back to the Future" he had just obtained. After a few hours, he sighed heavily, and sighed in his heart: "With this kind of picture, Xiangjiang still needs to go a long way to get it. Okay. A fast-food movie will never become a classic!"

Shaking his head, he called Wang Jing directly. The two met at the Broadway theater. Su Cheng glanced at the puzzled fat man, and said solemnly: "My request is very simple. For the movie, I am thinking about drawing the sub-shots, as long as it can meet my requirements!"

"Yes, boss!" Although he didn't understand Su Cheng's intentions, the fat man still nodded in agreement.

Patting him on the shoulder lightly, Su Chengcheng led Liu Qing into the theater first.

When I came here today, Su Cheng wanted to take Wang Jing to watch carefully the Hollywood blockbuster "Kramer" who just won the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay. Couples.Let him learn the difference between other people's producers and the current local Xiangjiang.

When the movie was officially broadcast, Wang Jing watched it attentively.However, for Su Cheng, he had watched this movie in his previous life, why?Because this "Kramer couple" has a lot of weight in the history of Oscar movies.There are a total of 9 nominations for awards alone.Not to mention, the film "Apocalypse Now", which won the Cannes main unit award, was also selected at the same time.And this film also has 8 nominations.

It's a pity that all the important awards were taken by "Kramer and his wife".Only won the two small awards for best photography and best sound.Commonly known as the "consolation prize".

Such a powerful film, what is it about?

The theme is to develop around the "seven-year itch in marriage".His wife, Joanna, can't stand her husband's neglect, and she doesn't want to be a housewife.So he decided to "divorce".It coincided with this period that her husband, Kramer, was about to sign a big contract, and even got promoted because of it.

Joy and confusion are at that moment.

His wife left, leaving the house and children to him alone.

Kramer began to learn to be a "good father".Gradually, they became "friends" with their children and had a "father-son relationship" deeper than the "mother-child relationship".

There are gains and losses.

Because the child is still young, Kramer would often leave the company suddenly for him, and over time, he was dissatisfied by his boss.When the signing of the "big deal" fails, all the faults will be imposed on Kramer.resulting in forced dismissal.

At this time, Joanna, who had disappeared for almost two years, came out and said that she wanted to fight Kramer for custody of the child?
A lawsuit, all kinds of life!
Because the child was injured once due to his father's care, he had multiple stitches in his eye.And the new job doesn't pay as much as his ex-wife.In the end, the court ruled that the child belonged to Joanna, and Kramer only had weekly visits.

At this time of loss, I never thought that Billy's heart was with his father.

What can I do if I win the company and lose the love between mother and child?

Watching the entire film, there are many things to discuss.On the one hand is Joanna's "freedom", "feminism"."Family", "Work", "Love" by a male Kramer on one side.

In addition, the loss and recovery in the neighbor's marriage, and the one-night stand between Kramer and the company staff are all discussing the details of the relationship and marriage.

After walking out of the theater, Wang Jing became much more silent. After all, he himself has a wife and his child is about to be born, so naturally he was very emotional.

After sitting in the car, Wang Jing said, "Boss, do you want me to watch this movie?"

Seeing his appearance, Su Chengcheng felt that he was thinking too much, and said lightly: "I discussed with Manager Liang, Tengyue Entertainment wants to develop rapidly, so it can't always stay in Xiangjiang. Maybe you haven't noticed, In the past two years, the box office market of Bay Island and Island Countries has been monopolized by Hollywood blockbusters. Of course, the Hong Kong box office market is slowly improving, but this speed is too slow. Once there are other changes, it will be crushed in one blow. Therefore, the goal of our company within one or two years is to shoot Hollywood blockbusters. More precisely, films featuring Hong Kong local artists."

Although Run Run Shaw's recent actions made Su Cheng a little disappointed, after getting the script "Back to the Future", Su Cheng was firm in his original idea, first went to Hollywood to build a theater circuit with at least 500 screens, and then released it They "starred in Hong Kong artists and directed blockbusters."

Why all this trouble?
First of all, it is not easy to show a film in North America, and it is often necessary to rely on the distribution channels of other large film companies.But in this way, the income that can be obtained will be greatly reduced.

In addition, Su Cheng also has another idea, that is, when he has his own theater chain, the films currently produced can be screened in the North American market.Not only can it make profits, but it can also push Xiangjiang artists to the world's fans in large quantities, why not do it?
No matter what, Hollywood is a world of capital. As long as they don't monopolize and unite with some film companies, who would hate to make more money?

Hearing Su Cheng's words, Wang Jing was shocked immediately, and said weakly: "Boss, you mean that I will be the first director launched by the company to go to Hollywood?"

She glanced at him lightly, if it wasn't like this, who would take you to the cinema to watch it?As far as Wang Jing's current vision and directing ability are concerned, Su Cheng is really worried.However, he is the director of the company's film and television department after all, if he is not given a chance first, resentment will always arise.

Anyway, there was a detailed shot script, so Su Cheng let him try it out.

He nodded and said seriously: "After the first Hong Kong Film Awards, the script will be given to you. However, if this movie wants to be shot, at least we have to wait until our company goes to Hollywood to open a temporary movie after the year Only the company can do it. Before that, I hope you can absorb the filming concept and the sense of the lens of Hollywood movies. There is too much difference in the current level."

"Understood, boss! I will study hard!" Wang Jing said solemnly with a flash of light in his eyes.
