People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

Chapter 141 Building a giant film and television group
"Mr. Liang, if I want to acquire a film company in Xiangjiang, which one do you think should be acquired?" Su Cheng thought for a while and asked directly.

The movie box office is still very profitable, so Su Cheng wants to get in as soon as possible.

"A film company? Currently, there are two major film companies in the film market in Hong Kong, namely Shaw Brothers Film Company and Golden Harvest Film Company. In the 70s, the popular films in Hong Kong were almost monopolized by these two companies. In addition, there is the Great Wall Film Company, Siyuan Pictures and numerous smaller film studios.

To be honest, it is difficult to acquire a Hong Kong film company. For example, Shaw Brothers Film Company is the property of Mr. Shaw Brothers, a famous entertainment tycoon in Hong Kong. With his strength, he would never consider selling Shaw Brothers Film Company;

As for Golden Harvest Film Company, it can be said to be No. 1 in the Hong Kong film industry. In recent years, its performance in the film industry has almost always been ahead of Shaw Brothers Film Company. With such performance, unless they spend a very high price, other three companies in their company will not be able to achieve success. It is impossible for a boss to sell Golden Harvest Film Company;

Great Wall Film Company is an old company in the Hong Kong film industry. It used to be the leading company of Hong Kong Film Company in the 60s and [-]s, but has declined in recent years. However, it is difficult to acquire them. They have multiple bosses who want to completely control Great Wall Film Company. almost impossible;
As for Siyuan Pictures, it was founded by the famous director Wu Siyuan. This film company can be said to be small but sophisticated. It almost only produces high-quality products. It can also be regarded as Director Wu Siyuan's personal studio. Director Wu cannot work for others at all. He used to be a graduate of Shaw Brothers, and founded the company in his 20s. Now he has produced many films with excellent reputations. Basically, the most valuable person in this company is Director Wu himself;
As for other small studios or companies, they have no acquisition value at all. "

Liang Shuyi analyzed the current general situation of the Hong Kong film industry with Su Cheng in detail.

Su Cheng nodded. He naturally knew all the companies Liang Shuyi mentioned, especially Jiahe, which came from Shaw Brothers. Even director Wu Siyuan, who was later called the godfather of Hong Kong movies, It came out of Shaw Brothers.

It can be said that Shaw Brothers Film Company is simply the Whampoa Military Academy in the Hong Kong film industry.

As for the famous Xiangjiang film companies of later generations such as Yongsheng Film Company, Debao Film Company, Media Asia Film, and New Arts City Pictures, they have not yet been born at this time.

"Then wouldn't it be possible for me to acquire a film company?" Su Cheng asked in surprise.

"Boss, my suggestion is that it is difficult for big film companies to acquire, and small film companies are not worth acquiring. It is better to set up a film company by yourself. It is not difficult, and making movies and making TV series are very similar. Boss, you have With the entire Jiayi TV station as the foundation, it is really easy to set up a film company.

Moreover, even if you can spend a lot of money to acquire companies such as Golden Harvest or Shaw Brothers, so what?As you said, you have a lot of great movie scripts in your hands. This is the real value of a film company. It is really not worth spending a lot of money to buy a film company. You see, Golden Harvest was also independent from Shaw Brothers. Yes, why don't you still massacre the Hong Kong film industry?Just because Shaw Brothers has produced many classic and best-selling movies. "

Liang Shuyi gave direct advice.

As a well-known figure in the Hong Kong TV industry, Liang Shuyi is very clear about the Hong Kong film and television industry, and the advice she gives is still worth reference.

Su Cheng thought about it and felt that it was true. In the film industry, apart from producers and directors, the most important thing is a good script. Only with a good script can a popular movie be made.

What do you have?Isn’t there just a lot of movie scripts?Why do we still need to buy a movie company?
As for producers and directors, Sioux City has no shortage of them!

Although making TV series and making movies are different, they are similar.

Moreover, after the film company is established, people can be hired from Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. These will not be a problem.After thinking about this clearly, Su Cheng gave up the idea of ​​acquiring a film company.

"Mr. Liang, I plan to separate Jiashi from the Su Group in the future and establish a film and television group. I wonder if you have the confidence to manage it?" Su Cheng thought for a while and asked directly.

With a lot of resources, if you can't build a giant film and television group, it would be a waste.

"Boss, actually before I entered the television industry, I worked in the film industry. My father used to run film distribution and theater businesses. At that time, I became interested in drama and film. Later, I went to the Rosebrough Speech and Drama School in the UK. He conducts research at the Institute of Music and serves as a teacher and actor at the Royal Conservatory of Music and Drama Theatre.

It was not until I returned to Hong Kong that I joined TVB and officially entered the television industry. So I am not only good at managing TV stations, I also know the film industry very well. If the group manages it for me, I will definitely be able to manage it very well. good. "Liang Shuyi's eyes lit up when she heard Su Cheng's words.

She is also an ambitious woman. She is only 33 years old now and there is still a lot of time in the future. The general manager of a TV station cannot satisfy her ambition.

Therefore, when she heard Su Cheng talk about building a film and television group and asked her if she had the confidence to manage it, her ambition was immediately revealed.

As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. What's more, she has already reached the highest position in the TV station. If she wants to move up, she can only be promoted to the Su Group.

But as far as she knew, Su Group's business was complex and complicated, which was not suitable for someone like her who had been in the film and television industry.

Therefore, it would be in line with her wishes to establish a film and television group.

"Well, since you are confident, I will give you a chance. One year will be used as the assessment time. During this period, you will set up a film department within Jiashi to specialize in filming movies. As for the movie script, I will provide it; in addition, set up a brokerage department and sign all actors into it; set up a record department and I will provide the songs, and train our contracted actors to become three-dimensional stars who can develop in the three fields of film, television and music. very good.

After a year, if I think your abilities are up to standard, then I will establish a new film and television group. At that time, the film department, agency department and record department will become independent new companies, and become part of the new film and television group like Jiashi. Subsidiary, in addition, I will invest in a film and television city in Tseung Kwan O to build the largest film and television base in Hong Kong, surpassing the current Shaw Brothers Studios. By then, this film and television city will also be directly managed by the film and television group. "

Since Liang Shuyi was ambitious, Su Cheng decided to give her a chance.

With the many TV scripts, movie scripts and songs provided by Suzhou City, if Liang Shuyi cannot run the company well, it means that Liang Shuyi has not achieved this ability, and she will just need to replace her when the time comes.

"Don't worry, boss, I've written down everything you said. I will cherish this opportunity and will definitely live up to your expectations!" Liang Shuyi said with certainty.

Although he didn't know what level of film and television scripts and movie scripts Su Cheng would give, but based on the previous two scripts "Looking for Qin" and the two scripts he had just given, "I Have a Date with a Zombie", she believed that what Su Cheng would give would definitely be The best of the best.

With so many works of this caliber to back her up, she didn't believe she couldn't manage a film and television group!
