In the conference room of "New Art City", we discussed and studied the science fiction martial arts blockbuster "New Shushan Swordsman" directed by Tsui Hark, produced by Wu Siyuan, and released by "Siyuan Pictures Company". We wanted to find a safe choice from it.
Ways to reduce the impact of this powerful opponent on their new film "The Best Partner Shows Their Magical Powers".
But most of them hold their own opinions. A group of people led by Lei Juekun and Mai Jia want to take the initiative. They first use public opinion to reduce the offensive of [New Shushan Swordsman] and let Hong Kong citizens understand that new is not necessarily good.
. And then during the Chinese New Year period, there were no movies released.
"Jiahe" contacted, hoping to release "The Best Partner Shows His Magical Powers" on the "Jiahe Cinema Line", increase the number of screening screens and theaters, and use the advantages of the theater chain to defeat opponents. Even in terms of sharing,
There is no need to hesitate to give "Jiahe" a little more sweetness.
A group of people headed by Huang Baiming and Shi Tian focused on stability and calmness. Since [New Shushan Swordsman] is now in the spotlight, it would obviously be unwise to compete with it. "New Art City"
He would not spend millions for publicity. Even if Lei Juekun is willing to spend it, now
The whole of Hong Kong is full of expectations for [New Shushan Swordsman]. If you rush in hastily, you will only be beaten by others, which is not cost-effective. So the most important thing now is to manage [The Best Partner Shows His Magical Powers]
】The quality of the film, using word of mouth and Xu Guanjie's appeal to defeat the opponent.
Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and no one could convince the other. In the end, it was the peacemaker Shi Tian who came out to smooth things over, one person making a concession, or in other words, gathering the heads of all the families.
"We might as well take a two-pronged approach. We can find someone to contact Jiahe. As long as they are willing to allow us to let our film be released in Jiahe Cinema Line, we can make some concessions in terms of box office share. At the same time, we can mobilize to contact us.
The media with good relations can vigorously promote our new films, or they can learn from each other and broadcast advertisements on TV. Let Sam go out for a walk, see more
Seeing the media, with his appeal, he can definitely surpass his opponents Qiu Guan and Brigitte Lin, which is enough to reduce the impact and pressure caused by his opponents on me. For the rest, we can only rely on Zhiwei, as long as he can improve the quality of the film
, defeating the opponent in terms of word-of-mouth will allow the film to continue the strong box office performance of the previous episode, and the opponent's pressure on us will naturally be defeated, and we don't need to worry about anything."
Some are aggressive and some are passive, but in general, Shi Tian's method is the best. After all, "New Art City" has now formed factions. If he cannot resolve or alleviate the conflicts between the two parties, it is very likely that this will be the case.
The fatal wound of "New Art City".
"Jiahe" is concerned about "Tianchen Entertainment" which will enter the Hong Kong film industry in the future. Whether it is an enemy or a friend still needs to be discussed. "New Art City" does not know whether it is intentional or unintentional, but it ignores the side of Wu Siyuan and his "Silk"
"Tianchen Entertainment" behind "Yuan Film Company". In addition to Huang Baiming and Eric Tsang not raising it here, Lei Juekun does not take this Taiwanese company seriously, which is also one of the reasons.
From Lei Juekun's point of view, are there still a few companies from Taiwan and Southeast Asia that enter Hong Kong every year? But how many can stand firm in Hong Kong? A movie does not mean anything, let alone this company, except for the last time with "
"New Art City" cooperated to shoot the first "Best Shot"
[...], showed its face once in Hong Kong, and took so long to show its strength again, it is enough to prove that this company is not confident enough to enter Hong Kong. Since "Tianchen Entertainment" does not have enough confidence in itself, the always confident Lei
Juekun would not put it in his eyes.
In addition to "Golden Harvest" and "New Arts City", the three major companies in the Hong Kong film industry are only "Shaw Brothers". Doesn't Shao Liushu pay attention to the "New Shushan Swordsman" that has emerged? Definitely not, with Shao Liushu
this
If you are an old man in the world, you will definitely make a plan before taking action, and you will not cast the net until you see the fish. And Uncle Shao is one of the few people in Hong Kong who knows who the boss of "Tianchen Entertainment" is, so he can deal with it much more calmly than others.
Immersed in the night in Repulse Bay, in Uncle Shao Liu's luxurious house, Uncle Shao Liu's wife, Huang Meizhen, had gone to bed early due to physical problems. She had never liked the four children who were developing in the film industry, and she didn't care much about "Shaw Brothers".
"The development of "Shao Brothers", although they also work in "Shaw Brothers", most of them are idle jobs. They still help their father, Uncle Shao, for the sake of their mother Huang Meizhen. Otherwise, they would have left "Shao Brothers" long ago and sought development opportunities separately.
.
In the whole big house, only the study room where Uncle Shao Liu worked was still lit. Fang Yihua, Uncle Shao's lover and right-hand man, was sitting opposite Uncle Shao Liu, brewing Kung Fu tea in his hand.
"Hey", after drinking up the fragrant tea in the cup, Uncle Shao turned his attention from Fang Yihua to a poster that occupied the entire newspaper page. It read eye-catchingly: "A shocking masterpiece, the first of its kind in martial arts.
The [Star Wars] special effects team personally created a masterpiece that combines science fiction and martial arts [New Shushan Swordsman]."
"There's quite a commotion!" Fang Yihua saw that Uncle Shao Liu had been looking at the newspaper without speaking, so he changed the topic to the turbulent film promotion.
"Yes! Even if a young man has the courage, he can spend millions of dollars in publicity expenses without blinking an eye. If put in some small companies, this publicity expense is enough for them to shoot a good film!"
I don't know whether it was a compliment or a joke, but Uncle Shao did not directly comment on this kind of publicity.
Fang Yihua smiled. In fact, he knew best what Uncle Shao was thinking. Unfortunately, there was no successor to the movie kingdom he founded. His two sons and two daughters didn't know whether it was because they really didn't like the entertainment industry or because they had friends in "Shaw Brothers".
His own existence keeps them distanced from him, and they want to inherit Shao Liu's
Uncle Shao didn't even have any interest in the movie kingdom, and often expressed his desire to go out to develop, which made Uncle Shao both happy and sad. He was happy that his children could develop independently, and did not want to rely on family help. He was sad because of "Shaw Brothers"
"This signboard is likely to disappear in your own hands.
Fang Yihua put his hands on Uncle Shao Liu's wrinkled hands and said with a smile: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, don't think too much."
"The one who knows me is Yihua." He patted the little hands on his own. These little hands were no longer young either. Uncle Shao Liu showed a rare warm and loving smile, and the other party Yihua
Said: "What do you think of this matter? What do you think of Feng Yifeng, a young man?"
"Grassy, I can only describe it as generous. I even suspect that Hong Kong's publicity methods in the future will use this film promotion as a turning point, which will play a decisive role in promoting future film promotions." Fang Yihua said about this kind of promotion.
The propaganda technique, in addition to the initial shock, is also
What's more is the huge driving force generated by studying it. "As for Feng Yifeng, although I haven't had many contacts or conversations with him, but judging from the information you gave me, this young man is brave and courageous.
Moreover, he is very scheming and capable of forbearing, which is no worse than when you were younger."
"Haha! Why do you keep talking about me?" Uncle Shao was not unhappy because Fang Yihua compared Feng Yifeng with himself. Instead, he asked with interest: "Then you said he is a good partner?"
Or a strong opponent?"
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Fang Yihua said: "I can't explain this clearly. For the time being, I still can't understand what Feng Yifeng is thinking in his heart and why he did this. With his financial resources, he can definitely enter Hong Kong forcefully.
He even conducted hostile takeovers of 'Shaw Brothers' and 'Golden Harvest'. But he did not do so. Instead, he adopted a roundabout method and used Wu Siyuan's 'Siyuan Pictures Company'
, walking slowly step by step. What is the purpose of spending so much time and so much money? I still can’t see it. As for his entry into wireless, in my opinion, it is more likely to be motivated by interest.
, otherwise as his shareholder, he would have asked you for a high position long ago. So I still prefer him to be a friend, which is better than being an enemy, because we don’t know him yet.”
"Yes! When we first met, I thought he was full of ambitions for wireless, but soon after, he stopped playing. He didn't even care about the management and operation of wireless. In the business world, there is a lot of movement, involving all walks of life.
Moreover, the techniques used are all kinds of weird and always make people confused. Returning to the entertainment industry this time, I am afraid it is no longer a test of the waters. He is already prepared and is probably going to show off his skills."
"Then you are still planning to sell the 'Shaw Brothers Cinemas' to him? Isn't this creating a rival for yourself?" Fang Yihua still doesn't understand why he offered to sell the entire "Shaw Brothers Cinemas" to Feng Yifeng.
Also accept
Novo Feng Yifeng will become the 'Director of Production Resources Department'. What Shao Liushu gets in exchange is that Feng Yifeng supports Shao Liushu's reforms and personnel appointments on the wireless board of directors. No matter how you look at this deal, Shao Liushu will suffer.
"Neither Wei Ming nor Wei Zhong is willing to inherit 'Shaw Brothers', and I am already old and do not have the ambitions I once had. I don't want to see 'Shaw Brothers' fade away in my hands. Moreover, in these years,
I’m all focused on wireless, I don’t
I want to see you working hard for Shaw Brothers, but it has no effect at all. Now that I have decided to reduce production, I want to sell the entire Shaw Brothers to Feng Yifeng. But based on my observation of him, Shaw Brothers
'In his hands, there will definitely be a big sword
After drastic transformation, those old ministers who used to follow us will not end up well. I don’t want this to happen, and I don’t want these old people who followed me to conquer the country to be abandoned without mercy, so I will only sell
Cinema Line to him. As for the opponent, as long as there is no conflict of interest between us, we will not be opponents at all. On the contrary, I admire his ability very much. If he can help me wholeheartedly at Wireless, Wireless will definitely be able to defeat Li and become
Hong Kong’s real TV overlord.”
"In exchange of equal value, you will take charge of TVB from now on and help him become a tycoon in the Hong Kong film industry. The cooperation between the two will be a win-win situation and they will not complement each other." Fang Yihua seemed to understand what Uncle Shao Liu was thinking. "But you put him in the 'Director of Production Resources Department'"
'In this high position, aren't you afraid that he will turn against you?"
Uncle Shao nodded and said: "Feng Yifeng likes to be a hands-off shopkeeper. You can tell by looking at the company in his hands. Even if he is appointed as the 'Director of Production Resources Department', the most he will do is use his authority to attract a few celebrities. Now he is surrounded by beautiful women.
Are there fewer female stars? As for whether he has the ability to become a movie tycoon, it depends on him. I will only pull him in when the time is right.
A handful. You should contact Feng Yifeng. The sales contract for 'Shaw Brothers Cinemas' can be signed in advance, so that his [New Shushan Swordsman] can be released in both 'Shaw Brothers Cinemas' and 'Broadway Cinemas' during the Chinese New Year.
Released. I want to see if he can defeat the arrogant Lei Juekun. If he sees his movie "The Best Partner Shows His Magical Powers" hit the street, I wonder if he will cry."
Fang Yihua lightly hit Uncle Shao Liu, and his little daughter's demeanor was clearly revealed. "You are really bad, but in my opinion, it is not that simple to defeat 'New Art City'. Even if we join forces now, we can win a big victory."
A tie is not bad, after all, Samhui’s appeal is extraordinary, and the reputation of "Best Partner" has been formed. It is difficult for a film with a new theme to beat it."
"Haha! It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who wins or loses. We just need to stand back and watch the show. I don't know when 'Jiahe' will join in and let the Three Kingdoms fight for supremacy. This will be fun to watch."
When they arrived at "Jiahe", Fang Yihua could clearly hear Shao Liushu gritting his teeth fiercely, and he could hear Shao Liushu's resentment towards Zou Wenhuai and the others.
