Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1763 You really dare to ask for it
When the film special effects company was first established, the three companies Dibao, Golden Harvest, and Shaw Brothers invested a total of one billion Hong Kong dollars in it.

Although it was not spent all at once, hundreds of millions of funds have been spent over the past few years.

Now Park Taijian wants them to give Han Guo the special effects technology they have worked out all these years, this is simply joking with them, this guy really dares to ask for it.

Not to mention that Pan Disheng was unwilling, even if he was willing, it would be impossible to convince Zou Wenhuai and Fang Yihua.

When these two people heard Park Taijian's request, they would undoubtedly refuse it directly, and there was no possibility of even talking about it.

"Mr. Park is too award-winning. When it comes to special effects technology, Magic Studio is the best among them. If Cold Country Movies wants to improve the special effects technology of movies, they should ask Mr. Lin for help."

Pan Disheng was naturally unwilling to hand over the special effects technology to the Han people, unless they were willing to spend money to buy it, in which case he might consider it.

If the other party just wants to be an empty-handed wolf, then I'm sorry, Pan Disheng will never agree.

Of course, the premise of selling the special effects technology to the other party is that they must help the United Cinemas deal with Lin Daoqiu, otherwise they will be out of the question.

"To tell the truth, Boss Pan, I have mentioned this matter to Mr. Lin several times, but he seems to be very hesitant about it. Of course, I am not a person who likes to force others, so there will be no more after this matter. "

Pu Taijian asks Lin Daoqiu for special effects technology, and it is a fantasy that the other party will be willing to give it to him.

Those who didn't know thought that Pu Taijian had a lot of face in front of Lin Daoqiu, but in fact he didn't tell the truth in front of Pan Disheng.

Of course, Pan Disheng is also very clear that it is absolutely impossible for Lin Daoqiu to let the special effects technology of the movie stay outside, and these words of Park Taijian are not credible at all.

"Then I can only say that it's a pity that our special effects technology is still in the development stage and we can't do it at all. If Mr. Park is willing to wait, we can talk about this when our technology has a breakthrough."

Pan Disheng pushed the time to an unknown time, and Park Taijian would naturally not be willing.

If it was in the past, Park Taijian really didn't have a good way to make Pan Disheng and the others submit.

But now the United Cinemas is facing a huge challenge from Lin Daoqiu's Asian Cinemas. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you don't make good use of it, you will be an idiot.

"Mr. Pan, although the Han Country film market is smaller than Neon, it is not far behind Xiangjiang."

Park Taijian's words are a bit too much. Leaving aside the previous "Godzilla", the highest-grossing movie "The Church" of Hanguo Movies last year had 52 viewers, which is almost a few times worse than Xiangjiang Movies. times or even ten times as much.

If it wasn't for the purpose of expanding his famous brand industry to Han Country, Pan Disheng would really look down on Han Country's movie box office.

But to be honest, the cold country market is still an area that has yet to be developed, and as their national income becomes higher and higher, more and more people can buy tickets to enter the theater.

It's just that the real improvement of Hanguo movies will have to wait until 1998, but let alone Pan Disheng, even Lin Daoqiu, a person who has traveled through time, would not know this kind of thing.

"Mr. Park, I am not the only one in this movie special effects company. Mr. Zou and Ms. Fang are also major shareholders. I don't think they will agree. I advise you not to think too much. .”

Pan Disheng didn't even bother to talk about this with Pu Taijian. If the other party wanted to continue to use Han Country's film market as a bargaining chip, then Pan Disheng's final answer would only be two words, no.

After Pu Taijian heard what Pan Disheng said, the smile on his face suddenly became stiffer.

Originally, at the beginning, he thought that this time he could take advantage of this opportunity to get the technology of special effects movies.

But what I didn't expect was that when faced with such a predicament, Pan Disheng and the others were still reluctant to hand over the special effects technology of the movie, which is really abhorrent.

But Pu Taijian couldn't turn his back on Pan Disheng and the others at this time, he could only wait patiently, waiting for an excellent opportunity and then finish this matter.

"In this case, let's put this matter aside for the time being."

Pu Taijian was quite patient, but it was also because he had no choice at all, otherwise he would never sit here and listen to Pan Disheng say these things.

On the other hand, Zou Wenhuai's situation was obviously much better than that of Pan Disheng.

The two film companies, Toei and Shochiku, together with Toho in Neon, are known as the three major film companies.

However, even if the two companies are added together, their strength is not as good as Dongbao. Over the years, they have been watching Dongbao make a lot of money from Lin Daoqiu, but they can only stare blankly.

If Lin Daoqiu cooperates with Dongbao in Neon and builds the New Oriental cinema line, it will definitely not be Dongbao who will be squeezed out by then, but Shochiku and Toei.

"Two, as a representative of the United Cinemas, my condition is very simple. The United Cinemas, Shochiku and Toei cooperate with each other, and exchange one-third of each other's annual schedule for the release of each other's films."

Zou Wenhuai wanted to use the method of exchange to cooperate with the other party, so that the United Cinemas could get one-third of the annual schedule of Shochiku and Toei.

It seems that the condition proposed by Zou Wenhuai is very fair, but if you think about it a little more carefully, you will know that the United Cinemas will definitely take advantage of it.

After all, Shochiku and Toei do not make a lot of money from the films released each year, but most of the films sold by the United Cinemas to Neon must be films that have achieved certain results in Xiangjiang.

Under such circumstances, the box office won by Neon will definitely not be less.

But the situation in Xiangjiang is different. The audience of Neon movies in Xiangjiang can be said to be very small.

If the attendance rate is too low, then Zou Wenhuai and the others can make Shochiku and Toei's movies a draw.

So Zou Wenhuai is actually hiding a small thought here, that is, he deliberately wants to take advantage of the other party, but he does it in a selfless manner.

"Mr. Zou's proposal is very good, and Shochiku will seriously consider it."

"We at Dongying also think this proposal is very constructive. I will go back and report to the headquarters immediately. I believe that I will give Mr. Zou a satisfactory answer soon."

It seems that the representatives of Shochiku and Toei did not see Zou Wenhuai's careful thinking, which is indeed a good start for Zou Wenhuai.

"In this case, I wish us a happy cooperation then."

Zou Wenhuai stood up and shook hands with representatives of Shochiku and Toei.

As long as they can handle the neon market, it will be very important for them to fight against Lin Daoqiu's Asian theaters.
