572 【Film Empire】
Airport, airport gate—
The crowds were crowded and they were all surrounded.
The dark crowd stared at Song Zhichao standing in the middle with anticipation, waiting for his next big revelation.
Song Zhichao laughed and said loudly: "Maybe everyone thinks that I am exaggerating, but I say it is all future plans. Hong Kong must become stronger, and Hong Kong films must be unified! A unified Hong Kong film company and a monopoly film company will become an unbreakable fortress. I want to build Hong Kong films into an Asian film industry empire!"
"Yes. You heard it right, it's an industrialized film empire - Hollywood is taking this path, so today's Hollywood movies can also turn giant wheels and crush all the global movie markets."
"The United States relies on Hollywood movies to export their capitalist culture and export their American will. Americans save the world and the United States save the universe. Why can't we?"
"What I have to do is to gather all the film resources in Hong Kong, actors, venues, directors, screenwriters, editors, lighting artists, and even a small scene record - all of them are gathered together to build a powerful film machine, and under my leadership, it will become a castle that crushes Asian movies!"
Song Zhichao's words made everyone around him excited.
You should know that Hong Kong people have always been proud of Hong Kong movies, and they also believe that Hong Kong movies are Hong Kong's most powerful soft power and the third industry recognized by the world by the world. But, is Hong Kong movies really industrialized? No, to be precise, most Hong Kong movies are still workshop-style and family-style, and are still far from industrialization.
For example, "Baohe Film Company" is a workshop-style film company built by Sammo Hung after he became famous. Sammo Hung has a good relationship with "Jiamo Hung". In the past, Jihe also promoted Sammo Hung to shoot many popular movies.
However, with Jackie Chan's growth in Jiahe's power, Sammo Hung's status was affected. Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan were brothers again. It was a bit unreasonable to fight in the same nest, and it was even worse to be reported by the media. So with the support of Jiahe, Sammo Hung left Jiahe and started a new business, established Baohe Film Company, and became the outsourcing company of Jiahe.
If some scripts of Jiahe cannot be filmed, they will be thrown to Sammo Hung. Sammo Hung uses Jiahe's resources and his own resources to shoot the drama and then release it in Jiahe's theaters, and everyone will eventually share the money.
In addition to workshop-style film companies like Sammo Hung, there are also Wang Jing's "Wang Jing Studio" and Jet Li's own "Zhengdong Film Company" and so on. Basically, some big stars rely on plug-in film companies to start a new business, which means workshop-style management, which cannot be achieved.
In addition to this kind of workshop-style film company that is not as popular as a climatic workshop, the most eye-catching thing in Hong Kong is the family-style film company, the most famous of which is "Yongsheng Movie". Almost inside and outside the Xiang brothers are controlled by the Xiang brothers, and outsiders cannot get in.
In fact, the one closest to the industrialized production model in Hong Kong is the old Shaw Film Company. After defeating several of its old rivals Cathay and Dianmao Film Company, it basically established Shaw Cinema, established a huge cinema chain, and had its own film production department, director department, screenwriter department, actor training class, and even film production factory... Unfortunately, Shaw Brothers finally gave up the film market in the civil war with Jiahe. To be precise, Mr. Shao believed that television would replace films, so he transferred his position and began to enter the TV industry. The TVB was established, which made Shaw Film, which was originally about to be industrialized, eventually became an empty shell.
Looking at the Hong Kong film industry in front of you, you can just describe it in one sentence - a group of demons dancing around, a pile of sand.
Song Zhichao is a veteran and takes everything in his eyes. For him, he doesn’t want to be a savior or save the Hong Kong film industry. He just wants to make money!
Hong Kong movies are very profitable. Everyone knows this truth, but what everyone doesn’t know is that soon, Hong Kong people will kill this very profitable golden rooster.
Song Zhichao focuses on the future mainland film market. If Hong Kong movies can maintain their standards and think of Hollywood to learn - this is also one of the main reasons for his acquisition of Colombia. He brings Hollywood's industrial technology to Hong Kong, then Hong Kong movies will not decline. After returning, they will be able to unite with the mainland market and become the overlord of Asia and even the overlord of the world.
This is not laughing.
Song Zhichao has calculated that the mainland film market in the future alone has a box office of 60 billion yuan a year, and it can be seen that the largest number of movies in the future is in Asia and in the mainland!
Imagine a Hong Kong film market that has not declined, joining forces with the huge domestic demand in the mainland, and learning the industrial technology of Hollywood and Columbia, then in the future - what a terrifying existence this will be.
Seeing that everyone's passion had already been boiling with sensation, Song Zhichao glanced at the police chief Grant next to him again.
Grant was already furrowed by Song Zhichao's inexplicable eyes, and he didn't understand what he was going to do.
But what Song Zhichao wants to do is something he can't stop, or it can't be stopped. Who can let his handle in the other party's hands?
"Wow, if all Hong Kong film companies combine into one big company, that would be amazing!"
"Yes, Shaw Brothers, Jiahe, Yongsheng, and other companies. If these big companies really merge together, I'm afraid even the giants in Hollywood will be trembling."
"But it's not very good. The bosses of these film companies are all big shots, and none of them are ordinary people. Song Zhichao wants to abolish them, which seems like a fool."
"Yes, it's too difficult!"
"Unless, a miracle happens!"
Everyone talked and talked a lot.
Facing the boiling crowd, Song Zhichao reached out and pressed down slightly, signaling everyone to calm down, and then said: "I know, I know what you are thinking - but I have made a decision, so the Hong Kong film market will soon undergo a huge change. It's just that before the change, I have to perform a surgery on Hong Kong films first!"
"Exercise surgery on the Hong Kong film market? What does it mean?"
Everyone looked at Song Zhichao for no reason and waited for his explanation.
Grant next to him sneered and had surgery? Song Zhen regards Hong Kong movies as his own child - wait until you really acquire those film companies, and Xiongba Hong Kong will talk about it!
