Reborn Hong Kong's Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 99

The next day.

Su Cheng went to the last stop in Hollywood to acquire the reorganized Tengyue Cinemas branch.

General Manager's Office.

Jiang Zhiqiang gave Su Cheng a piece of information, sat aside, and said leisurely: "Since the establishment of our theater chain, in addition to arranging Hong Kong films produced in-house by our company, we have taken over two films from Golden Harvest. A "A "Plan", a "Junior Brother Goes Out"."

After a pause, Jiang Zhiqiang continued: ""Project A" has a cumulative box office of 628 million US dollars. "Junior and Brother" only has 127 million US dollars. In addition, "Hitch the Wrong Car" by Dingsheng will be released in the next year."

"Except for our local films in Hong Kong, what about Hollywood's?" Su Cheng asked.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhiqiang said with a smile: "There are two good films, but I think it's not too late to cooperate with the company here after "Back to the Future" produced by our company is released."

After speaking, he took out the bottom stack of materials, opened the introduction inside, and said: "One of the films is currently being filmed, and it is jointly produced by Universal Pictures and Lionsgate Films. "Golden Pond". I heard that famous movie stars Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda were invited to star."

Is it this movie?Su Cheng was stunned for a moment.Although he has never watched all the Oscar-winning blockbusters in later generations, he still searched for some particularly famous ones (because of the director, leading actor and actress, or box office.).Among them, there is this "Golden Pond".

The reason why I watch this film is that, firstly, the heroine Katharine Hepburn is a frequent visitor to the Oscars.Including this film, she has won 4 Oscars in total.The nominations are numerous.Compared to her, the other Audrey Hepburn was more famous, but she was slightly inferior to her in terms of awards and acting skills.

In addition, it is extremely rare that this film is above the Oscars, and both the male and female protagonists have won awards at the same time.What's even more surprising is that in the early 80s, the box office still had hundreds of millions of dollars.It is impossible not to be taken seriously and mentioned!

However, in Su Cheng's memory, it seems that this movie was only released in 82!Even if the Hollywood film company had prepared in advance to arrange the release issue, it couldn't be so early!I'm afraid that accidents often happen to the crew during the period!Otherwise, it won't be so long.

Just as he was thinking about this, Jiang Zhiqiang said again: "The second one is a Hollywood blockbuster produced and invested by Mr. Zou from Golden Harvest."

"Oh?" Su Cheng was a little surprised.

As if he knew the boss was surprised, Jiang Zhiqiang explained: "In fact, this film is not only produced by Zou Wenhuai, but also invested by [-]th Century Fox. It is just like that "Alien", it is a legacy of the company."

Su Cheng asked: "Then this movie was shot?"

"No!" Jiang Zhiqiang waved his hand and said, "Originally Golden Harvest was going to make a joint venture with [-]th Century Fox. But because of problems with the actors, it was put on hold for now."

Later, Jiang Zhiqiang explained: "Since it is a joint venture, Golden Harvest naturally let Jackie Chan play a role in it. However, in the selection, they also valued Xu Guanwen. In addition to acting skills, he also participated in the screenwriting. Before that, he was in Xu Guanwen's If there is no agreement on the salary, then..."

When Jiang Zhiqiang introduced it, Su Cheng also looked at the information, and it turned out to be the "Cannonball Run".It is claimed to be the film that Golden Harvest Zou Wenhuai invested in and made the biggest profit in North America.The total box office is over 7000 million U.S. dollars, and the box office in North America is more than [-] million U.S. dollars.

Su Cheng was still deeply impressed by this film.Who let it be Zou Wenhuai's "proud work"!

Golden Harvest cooperates with [-]th Century Fox. Apart from the fact that the other party is a major film company, it also has theaters under its umbrella, which facilitates the release of films.but now?

Squinting his eyes slightly, Su Cheng said, "You can contact Shi Nansheng. If possible, I hope our company can participate."

Jiang Zhiqiang was taken aback by these words, and asked, "The boss means leaving Jiahe aside?"

After waving his hand, Su Cheng said, "It's a tripartite investment."

Slowed down, and continued: "Currently, we and Golden Harvest are allies. Although the relationship is only in Hong Kong, we can continue to cooperate when we come to Hollywood. In addition, once the box office of this film is good and the profit is very high, what do you think, Zou Wenhuai When the time comes, will you let it go?"

At least, in the current environment, their relationship with Twentieth Century Fox is definitely better than that of Golden Harvest, so there is still a lot of money left unpaid!
Furthermore, although "Cannonball Speed" can bring some benefits to Su Cheng, it is not enough to "break" with Golden Harvest.After all, how much money will Golden Harvest Cinemas bring them to Teng Yue for the movies produced by Xiangjiang over the past year?You can't lose the big because of the small!However, when it's time to make money, you can't retreat, right?
He said to Jiang Zhiqiang: "If you ask Shi Nansheng, just tell me what I mean, which is the same as the model of "Plan A". Our Teng Yue is only responsible for investment and arranging the release. The crew will follow the wishes of the two of them. Does not participate."

"Understood, boss!" Jiang Zhiqiang nodded in response.

……

When Su Cheng went to the Hollywood Tengyue Entertainment Branch, Xiangjiang also released the movies "Cracking the Corner" and "The Frog Prince" one after another.

When "The Frog Prince" was released on the second day, a shocking news came: Shaw Cinemas was acquired by Dickson Poon, a rich watchmaker.Although it only accounts for one-third of it.But this signal is enough to show that many wealthy businessmen have begun to focus on the film industry.

Now it is a theater chain, then it may be a film company in the future!
However, on the next day, the media reported that Dickson Poon had acquired two film companies.Although these two are not very well-known, and the films they produced did not sell well at the box office, but they can be integrated together, and other colleagues naturally dare not underestimate them!
Within a few days, the newly established "Xiangyang Film Industry" was born.And revealed the news that the first movie "Brave" will be filmed.The director I was looking for was Liang Puzhi who directed "Jumping Ashes".

As for who the protagonist is and what the film is roughly about, the outside world knows nothing.

However, when this happened a few years ago, many people in the circle were a little flustered.Since the rise of Tengyue Entertainment, the film industry has begun to develop in an unknown direction, and then the emergence of New Art City, coupled with the rise of the peak.

It seems to give outsiders an illusion that investing in movies is a huge profit!It's so easy to make money!

But is this really the case?
impossible!
Otherwise, how come there are film companies that go bankrupt every year, even a behemoth like Shaw Brothers cannot avoid it!
