Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

What do you think of the movie "The King of Comedy"?

Compared to Stephen Chow's previous movies, perhaps it's because he is in control and can shoot according to his own ideas.

The humanistic atmosphere in this film is stronger, and the comedy is full of tragedy.

But it is undeniable that everyone, including Chen Qiming, unanimously agrees that this film will be a major success in the market.

Chen Qiming can think so, of course, because he has information about future generations.

As for others, they drew conclusions based on Stephen Chow's appeal, market statistics, and movie themes.

An hour and a half passed quickly.

During this period, Huang Baiming also arranged for his subordinates to go out to discuss the distribution of the drama with Xinghui.

Compared with them, Chen Qiming and the two were not in a hurry.

Compared with the other two companies, Pacific takes the initiative.

As Chen Qiming said, the Pacific is not what it used to be.

If it weren't for special circumstances, as long as Xinghui wasn't a fool, they wouldn't have given up on Pacific Ocean and turned around to cooperate with the other two companies.

After all, Pacific's strength lies here. No matter in terms of distribution channels or publicity, the other two companies cannot compare to Pacific.

These are all important factors that affect the box office.

That is money.

No one has trouble with money.

Some people may be curious as to why Pacific Ocean’s publicity is stronger than the other two companies.

Regarding this point, you can come to a conclusion if you think about ATV owned by Chen Qiming.

The so-called film and television do not separate families.

In this era when the Internet has not yet become popular.

Movie promotion is nothing more than various offline posters and magazines.

Online is TV promotion.

After Chen Qiming came to ATV, it was not that he made no changes.

After he came to power, the first thing he did was to set up a special channel on ATV.

ATV movie channel.

This channel can refer to the Six Princesses of CCTV and the Star Movie Channel, which was popular for a period of time in later generations.

The purpose of establishing this channel is certainly not primarily to promote movies.

Its main purpose is for ratings.

Compared with TV series, movies shown on TV channels will inevitably gather a lot of ratings.

People are nostalgic. Even if they watch a movie on TV, they will definitely stay and contribute ratings to the TV station.

In addition, there are some movies that you haven’t seen yet!

Foreign, mainland, or niche.

The emergence of movie channels allows viewers to watch many movies they have never seen before.

It is also this novel way of playing movies that has allowed ATV Movie Channel to attract a large number of fans and audiences within one year of its establishment.

At the same time, this channel has also become an important place for movie promotion.

A wave of publicity here is more effective than actors running offline for ten days.

It is also the emergence of the ATV movie channel that allows Pacific to firmly suppress companies such as Golden Harvest and occupy the current position of Hong Kong's number one film and television group.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think of this film?"

After the movie ended, seeing that Chen Qiming had not taken the initiative to talk to them about the distribution of the movie, Stephen Chow and his lover Tian Qiwen became a little anxious and took the initiative to come over.

Because Stephen Chow is not sociable, many of Xinghui's business cooperations are handled by Tian Qiwen, and this time is no exception.

What should I say about Tian Qiwen?

Many people simply think that he is one of Stephen Chow's supporting roles.

But few people know that this guy is actually quite talented.

He and Stephen Chow met in 1994 at Jiupin Zhima Guan. Since then, they have been following Stephen Chow. They first joined Caixing Company together, and then left together to found Xinghui.

During this period, he has been Stephen Chow's right-hand assistant, responsible for the company's image promotion, business development, acting agency, and film production and planning.

It can be said that apart from Stephen Chow, he is also an important contributor to the future success of Xinghui.

"It's a very exciting movie. I have a feeling it will do well at the box office."

Chen Qiming did not disparage the film just to dispel Xing Hui's idea of ​​asking for a bigger share.

On the contrary, he did not hesitate to praise.

"Thank you! I also think this is a good movie."

Hearing Chen Qiming's praise, Stephen Chow showed a bright smile, "I think we can find a quiet place to talk about the distribution of this film."

"Of course, we can't wait for the film to appear in Pacific theaters."

Chen Qiming answered with a smile and followed Stephen Chow and the two of them to the reception room.

In the reception room, neither He Guanchang nor Huang Baiming as expected by Chen Qiming were there, and it was completely empty.

After a few people sat down, Stephen Chow was finally willing to let the staff serve him a cup of tea.

After making tea, Tian Qiwen spoke first, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Wu, you all agree that this film will be successful.

I wonder if you can make some more concessions on the share of revenue?
You also know that the Xinghui family has a small business and has invested all their wealth in this film.

It is our child, and we hope that you can give us some preferential treatment in terms of sharing. "

Tian Qiwen was very direct and asked Pacific Ocean to give up its share. Stephen Chow and Tian Qiwen both set their sights on Chen Qiming, expecting him to make a decision.

Chen Qiming pretended not to notice this and shook the tea cup quietly.

Wu Zhuo next to him spoke.

“We attach great importance to this film, we cannot deny that.

But I don’t think there’s anything to discuss about the increase in dividends.

Our cooperation with Mr. Zhou started from the lottery days.

I think you should know what the situation of Westward Journey was at that time.

Although these two films did not make any losses, the profits they made were not at all in line with Mr. Chow's status as the number one comedy actor in Hong Kong.

At that time, Westward Journey was criticized to a great extent, and everyone in the Hong Kong industry thought that Mr. Zhou was exhausted and had no box office appeal.

When Xinghui was established, everyone was not optimistic about it. Under such circumstances, we at Pacific Ocean never said a word about reducing the share of benefits to you.

Now, you have made a comeback with "The God of Cookery", and your new film has full potential. Both Golden Harvest and Oriental Pictures want to buy it.

You just want to provide sharing treatment. I think this is not authentic, right? "

There are some things that Chen Qiming is not comfortable saying and may easily affect the relationship between the two parties.

But Wu Zhuo is different.

He doesn't need to consider whether his words will offend Stephen Chow.

Anyway, he is not the boss of the company. Even if he offends Stephen Chow, there is still Chen Qiming as his co-worker, so Pacific Ocean will not have any grudges with him.

This is true for many companies.

The eldest brother is the white face, and the second child is the red face.

In this way, both sides will leave room for further discussion.

Xing Hui opposite him obviously had the same combination. Zhou Xingchi said nothing and let Tian Qiwen raise the issue of a salary increase.

Therefore, Chen Qiming was not surprised at all when Wu Zhuo blamed Xing Hui and said that the other party was unethical.

"Mr. Zhou, you should know what our Pacific strength is now.

I know that Jiahe and Oriental Cinemas must have given you very good conditions.

But I hope you'll give it some serious thought.

No matter how good the conditions are, can they be better than the high-quality platform in the Pacific Ocean?

To be honest, we at Pacific have reached a cooperation with Wanyan and will enter the disc market early next year.

I can tell you that if Xinghui continues to cooperate with us, we can give you preferential treatment in terms of disc copyright. This is the preferential treatment we in the Pacific treat our own people.

But if you give up cooperating with us, you will become our blacklist.

Not only the media related to us, but also ATV, you will also be blacklisted. "

In the first half of the sentence, Wu Zhuo was still talking about his treatment, but in the second half of the sentence, his words were already mixed with threats.

This means that Xinghui should carefully consider the consequences of rebelling against Pacific.

As long as Xinghui rebels against Pacific and turns to cooperate with Golden Harvest or Oriental Cinema, Xinghui will face the ban of Pacific.

Maybe this kind of ban can't shake Stephen Chow.

But the effect is still not small.

With the current size of Pacific, if Pacific blocks Xinghui, Xinghui will definitely be suppressed in terms of publicity.

This is definitely not a good thing for Xinghui.

boom!
"Wu Zhuo, what are you talking about?"

There was a crisp knock on the table, Chen Qiming's face darkened, and he scolded Wu Zhuo.

Hearing Chen Qiming's scolding, Wu Zhuo did not continue to threaten, but said: "Mr. Chen, you decided to cooperate with Xinghui early on. Regarding this point, I have always suggested not to give this preferential treatment since I took office.

I think so now. Look, we have given such good treatment, 46, Hong Kong’s final share treatment.

Just this preferential treatment, and they still want preferential treatment. I don’t think there is any need to cooperate with a company like them that is pushing the envelope. "

"Shut up!" Chen Qiming slammed the table. Seeing that he stopped talking, he looked at Tian Qiwen and Zhou Xingchi who looked ugly.

"You two, don't take his words to heart, he said angry words.

However, regarding the issue of sharing, it is impossible for us to give you preferential treatment.

There are many cooperative companies in the Pacific, and we cannot set a precedent randomly.

However, what I can guarantee is that you have always been the most advanced partner on this side of the Pacific. "

After a pause, Chen Qiming continued: "I still hope that both of us can cooperate well.

Of course, if you feel that our treatment is really not as good as other companies such as Jiahe, then you can also cooperate with them.

Please rest assured that we are a civilized company. "

"Mr. Chen, please give us some time to think about it. To be honest, Jiahe has indeed given us a very good condition. We need to think about it carefully."

Tian Qiwen forced an ugly smile on his ugly face.

"We are waiting for your news!"

Having said this, Chen Qiming knew it was time to leave.

As for what Xinghui will decide, Chen Qiming believes they won't be that stupid.

Because the Pacific Ocean is their first choice.
