I am the fifth king

Chapter 444 The Fall of Hong Kong Movies

Since Xiangjiang Films has been invincible in Asia, countless film and television companies have been born in the city of Xiangjiang.

Among these companies, there is Shaw Brothers, which has been in business for decades.

There is Golden Harvest who has pulled his teeth out of Shaw Brothers and has become a top big company.

It is also like Yongsheng, a company established by Xiangjiang who controls the existence of gang forces.

No matter who built it.

All the top companies in Xiangjiang have their own rules.

That is, the fewer people who divide the cake, the better.

Among the big companies in Xiangjiang, Shaw Brothers lost in the competition with Golden Harvest, and had to turn to the TV industry and achieved amazing results.

After that, Golden Harvest was left alone, until the rise of New Art City, keeping pace with Golden Harvest.

It's a pity that the interior of New Art City was unstable, and eventually fell into a situation where they went their separate ways.

Afterwards, the companies that succeeded New Art City were Yongsheng and Dongfang Film Company.

Relying on the Xiang family brothers' excellent vision of the entertainment industry and some means.

In addition, Luo has made a large number of actors with box office appeal. .

This made Yongsheng infinitely popular in the early 90s, and even overwhelmed Golden Harvest for a time, faintly showing the trend of Xiangjiang No. [-] Film Company.

At the same time, the Oriental Film Company established by the former comedian Huang Baiming was also a bright pearl in this period.

Almost every year during the Lunar New Year, and even in the top ten of the annual box office list, this company can almost be seen.

, and other classic works are produced by them.

In addition, Huang Baiming was once a member of the Seven Monsters of the New Art City. After the dissolution of the New Art City, Oriental Films largely inherited some of the legacy of the New Art City.

Therefore, although it is not as good as the previous two companies in terms of works and making money.

But it also allowed Oriental Films to enter the ranks of Xiangjiang's top companies and share the cake.

The three companies compete with each other and share the same hatred.

The so-called common hatred is aimed at Zhengdong and Huaren, companies that have risen in a short period of time with their blockbuster movies.

The world of capitalists is like this. On the one hand, they suppress you, but on the other hand, they support you because of their interests.

Just like Yongsheng, they secretly suppressed Huaren and Zhengdong Film and Television to prevent them from becoming bigger.

On the other side, they shamelessly greet you and cooperate with you.

Yongsheng seems to be mixed.

And for He Jin, this is also good.

As long as Yongsheng is involved in this movie, then this movie is almost a movie supported by Yongsheng.

In many ways, you can get the support of Insein.

Fast and Furious's box office explosion made Golden Harvest look ugly, and they planned to take advantage of the advantages of having theater channels.

He Jin naturally would not agree to this.

Although it is said that since the establishment of Huaren, all films have been screened in Golden Harvest Cinemas.

As a result, He Jin did not cooperate much with other cinemas.

But this does not mean that He Jin has to be screened in Golden Harvest.

Although it is said that Golden Harvest's theater chain is the largest in Xiangjiang.

However, as long as it is done properly, Hua Ren might not be able to get rid of Golden Harvest and find another partner.

As for Yongsheng, it was He Jin who found him to hold Jiahe temporarily.

As long as Yongsheng can withstand the pressure of Jiahe.

Even the third part later will be switched to other theaters, and a long-term cooperation will be reached, making Huaren a truly big company.

"Let's find an opportunity to talk to other theaters some other day. I think they won't refuse to cooperate with us!"

He Jin said.

"Indeed, we should have looked for Debao and Princess Jin in the first place.

They only do theater chains, not as overbearing as Golden Harvest. "

Andy Lau said.

There are many cinemas in Xiangjiang in this era, but the ones with the most screens are of course Golden Harvest, Debao, and Golden Princess.

Among them, Golden Harvest has been in the industry for many years, and has been firmly in the leading position by virtue of its production and distribution.

Then came Princess Jin and Debao, and the theaters in the past two days were similar to Golden Harvest.

谷濢

Both companies have supported production companies to make movies in the past as financial sponsors.

However, following the disbandment of New Art City and Debao Film and Television, the theater chains have focused on the development of theater chains in the past two days. Although they will still invest in movies, they are not continuing to support the production company.

Therefore, for small film companies, these two theater chains are very suitable for cooperation.

However, He Jin's Yin-Yang Road was issued by Huanyu.

The relationship between Huanyu and Golden Harvest is relatively good, which forced Hua Ren to establish a cooperative relationship with Golden Harvest.

"I'm going to start a new theater circuit."

He Jin looked out the window and suddenly said.

"Are you crazy? Xiangjiang now has so many theaters, and you set up a theater now, isn't it a clear loss of money?"

When Andy Lau heard this, he was shocked.

"You guy, the more you play, the bigger you get, you won't be afraid..."

He didn't continue to say the following words.

Compared with film production, theater chains are simply a bottomless pit. A little mismanagement can cost tens of millions of dollars.

This is something that ordinary people can't afford at all.

Moreover, Xiangjiang's theater chains are basically saturated, and the large theater chains include Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, and Debao.

The small ones also include Broadway, iu cinema and so on.

Several theaters compete with each other, which is left over from the prosperity of Xiangjiang Films in Asia in the past two years.

At that time, in order to supply film sources from other parts of Asia, Xiangjiang made films frantically, and almost all the theaters made a lot of money.

However, as the film was burst like a bubble in Taiwan, the difficult days for major cinemas in Xiangjiang began.

Although this year's Xiangjiang film still looks very prosperous.

Even with Hua Ren's, the box office hit, people seem to have the illusion that Xiangjiang movies are going up.

But smart people can see that Hong Kong films are declining.

This can be seen from the number of films exported this year.

In previous years, regardless of the domestic box office of Xiangjiang films, film buyers in other regions would rush to buy them like crazy.

But starting this year, filmmakers in other regions began to drastically reduce the number of films they purchased.

Even, even if it is a movie with a good box office in Xiangjiang, they will start to lower the price.

Lowering the price, if it was the same as in previous years, as long as Xiangjiang filmmakers heard that you lowered the price, they would definitely spit in the faces of these filmmakers and say arrogantly, "At this price, do you like it or not, or get out."

But starting this year, lower prices have begun to become the norm.

The film cannot be sold, how many people can be supported by the small place of Xiangjiang?

Hong Kong Films does not make money from local box office.

The domestic box office is just one measure of the film's popularity.

On the contrary, it is distribution copyrights in other regions, etc. This is where Xiangjiang Films makes money.

Just like Jet Li, if someone observes carefully, he will find that his annual box office in Xiangjiang is actually not high.

It may be higher than ordinary actors, but it is not comparable to Zhou Xingchi, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat and so on.

Even in the past few years, he has never won the annual box office championship, and there are only a handful of films that even entered the top ten.

But just like that, he has become an Asian action superstar comparable to Jackie Chan and others.

The reason lies in other markets.

He has a strong appeal in Singapore, Taiwan, and other places.

There is a saying that Stephen Chow is king in Xiangjiang.

Jet Li dominates Singapore and Taiwan, while Jackie Chan roams across Europe, America, Korea and Japan.

This is the respective influence of several people.

If there is no foreign influence, Xiangjiang in this era is actually just like India.

But now, as countries and regions begin to introduce a large number of Hollywood films.

The form dominated by Xiangjiang films has quietly changed.

All these things can be observed with data.

Therefore, smart people know that Xiangjiang Films will fail.
