Chapter 28 Good News

With the release of "Double Star", the movie-watching craze has finally calmed down.

But in the film industry, it is slowly surging.

In fact, in addition to Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, there are many film companies in Hong Kong, but these film companies are unable to produce some good films due to lack of funds and connections.

The top ten movies at the box office in Xiangjiang every year are all dominated by films produced by Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. In addition, they monopolize the screening channels, so everyone has the impression that there are only these two film companies and left-wing film companies in Xiangjiang.

Recently, with the establishment of New Art City and Oriental Cinemas, and the first movie became a big hit, it can be seen that New Art City still stands firm despite the joint efforts of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers.

So many other film companies began to look for Wu Siyuan and Li Zhiwen.

Before, Wu Siyuan and Li Zhiwen approached these people to cooperate with New Art City, but they hesitated because of their scruples.

Now he comes looking for them with licking his face, which makes Wu Siyuan and Li Zhiwen feel happy in their hearts.

But Wu Siyuan and Li Zhiwen were still sober and did not make any mistakes because of this. After all, New Art City and Oriental Cinemas also needed these people.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for a company in Xinyi City to provide sufficient film sources. Xu Guanwen is famous for being meticulous and rigorous, and can only make one film a year.

So Xinyi City and these people also get what they need.

Because Shaw Brothers operates a large-scale studio system and has many star directors under its umbrella, it produces and sells its films entirely on its own.

As for Golden Harvest, although it will screen movies from other companies, it is always stuck at the box office, making the bosses of these companies angry and helpless.

But it is indeed because of the existence of Golden Harvest that the Hong Kong film industry will not turn into a stagnant water, but it is also slowly weakening visible to the naked eye.

Therefore, Lei Yunrong did not say that the low-price package system for theater chains would be abolished immediately. The market in Xiangjiang is not yet fully developed, and even if a share-sharing system is adopted, it will be difficult to become active.

As long as the part of the profit that belongs to the producer is given to them in time, they will already be very grateful.

Only in two years will a new wave of film directors return to Hong Kong and inject new vitality into the Hong Kong film scene. After the market gradually improves, the guarantee system will be abolished. Only in this way can the development of Hong Kong films be further promoted.

.

After the filming of "Double Star" was completed, Lei Yunrong held a celebration banquet specially for the crew.

Not only has he invited some popular stars, Lei Yunrong also specially invited Shao Daheng and Wrinkle Huai.

No matter how unhappy they were in their hearts, these two people still came over in a very graceful manner.

But when they came to Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie after chatting with Lei Yunrong for a while, it was Lei Yunrong's turn to feel embarrassed.

But these two big guys are also people with status, so they don't want to poach people in person right now.

However, Lei Yunrong knew that privately these two big guys would definitely contact the Xu brothers again, which Lei Yunrong could not stop.

However, Lei Yunrong did not treat the Xu brothers badly, and they had no reason to change jobs. After all, the name Erwuzi was quite unpleasant.

On the second day of the celebration banquet, the Xu brothers rushed to Singapore and Macau non-stop. Cathay Pacific in Southeast Asia had already begun to warm up.

Lei Yunrong also made an appointment with Zhang Yunsheng, the boss of China Film Company, through his relationship with Hu Yingxiang, Mr. Hu, to discuss the release of "Double Star" in Wanwan.

Hu Yingxiang has been in the real estate industry for such a long time and has contacts all over Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. It is not difficult to introduce the boss of China Bay Film.

No matter what, Mr. Hu is also the big boss behind Hesheng of the Xiangjiang Society, and now that Wanwan is at a time when the society's influence is booming, he can also get online through this relationship.

In fact, in Xiangjiang, the bosses behind many associations are these tycoons, not only Mr. Hu, but also Mr. Huo.

It's just that for these people, the association can be used but it won't let them get involved with themselves.

This also reflects the advantage of Lei Yunrong being born into the Lei family. The Lei family has been operating in Hong Kong for decades and has a wide network of contacts.

If Lei Yunrong was a poor boy and suddenly made a hit movie and wanted to release it in Wanwan, he wouldn't even have the means to visit the boss of China Film. He would have to go to a small head in the distribution department of China Film in Wanwan, and with the help of his

The bureaucracy will definitely be dealt with.

But now Lei Yunrong can easily make an appointment with the boss of China Bay Film and Television.

The full name of Wanwan China Film Co., Ltd. is Central Film Enterprise Co., Ltd. It is a party-run organization and the largest production organization and projection organization in Wanwan.

Wanwan movies are now booming, represented by romantic films and literary films adapted from Qiong Yao's original works, which can even suppress Hong Kong's martial arts films and kung fu films.

But it won't last a few years, and Wanwan Movies will collapse. In later generations, the only thing people will remember about Wanwan Movies is the Wanwan Golden Horse Awards, and the Golden Horse Awards were also trashed.

Zhang Yunsheng is not a film professional but an official within the system.

Therefore, despite his relationship with Mr. Hu, Lei Yunrong still supported him politely, made him eat, drink and have fun, and finally gave him a satisfactory gift, which gave him enough face.

As an official, the most important thing is to have face, and Lei Yunrong understands this.

The effect was also very obvious. The next day, good news came from Baywan China Film Group. By then, China Film Group's cinemas would be showing the film in full.

Of course Lei Yunrong would not cut off contact with Zhang Yunsheng after he was so helpful. He once again expressed his gratitude specifically and said that he would have to contact him from time to time in the future.

After finishing these things, Lei Yunrong breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Wu Siyuan to handle the rest of the publicity matters.

From now on, it is almost up to Wu Siyuan as general manager to maintain and even strengthen the Wanwan line.

There is nothing we can do now. Lei Yunrong does not have enough funds. When he has sufficient funds later, he can set up a cinema chain in Wanwan.

Time passed unknowingly, and Lei Yunrong took a rare break after finishing handling the movie.

While Lei Yunrong was staying in Xiangjiang, good news kept coming.

First of all, Bay Area is indeed an important box office for Hong Kong films in the future. It has earned more than NT$43 million in the past month of its release. New Arts City Pictures can probably get NT$20 million, which is nearly HK$3 million.

.

Although the box office may not be as high as in Hong Kong, you must know that this is a pure profit.

As for Southeast Asia, Lei Yunrong was even more surprised. Not only did Xu Guanjie's album sell out 150,000 copies, but the total box office revenue was more than 3 million US dollars, which is about 15 million Hong Kong dollars. New Art City Pictures can share it

Nearly seven million.

This movie made a huge profit of nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which even surprised Lei Yunrong.

No wonder Jiahe has become so wealthy in just a few years.

You must know that Bruce Lee's movies make much more money overseas, and most of them are US dollars.

If you are successful in the film industry, it is indeed a huge profit. Nowadays, many listed companies may not necessarily make 10 million in profits a year.

Now not only film companies, theater companies and record companies have begun to revitalize Lei Yunrong.

This made Lei Yunrong feel very good.

As the saying goes, good things come in pairs. When Lei Yunrong received the good news about the film being released overseas, good news also came from Lei Juehua.
