Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

Qiao Feng was planning to look for Du Qifeng as the director to shoot the lethal weapon, but before he could find him, Wang Jing acted as a lobbyist for Du Qifeng and asked Qiao Feng if he could take in Du Qifeng.

Qiao Feng wondered, could it be that someone gave a pillow when he was sleeping?

After Wang Jingyi’s explanation, Qiao Feng realized that on the morning Wang Jing found him, Shaw Yifu formally decided to cut Shaw’s film production in half this year from last year’s basis.

Since last year, Shaw Brothers has successively reduced the investment in filming, and the film has also been reduced by a third. Cutting it by half this year is almost equivalent to less than a third of the previous year's output this year.

For the Hong Kong film giant Shaw Brothers, it is no different from the company closing.

And indeed it is about to close. Because of the drastic reduction in film investment, many of Shaw's employees will have no work to do.

Therefore, Shao Yifu gave a solution. Most of the employees of Shaw Brothers will either merge into wireless or terminate the contract.

The reason why Qiao Feng did not receive the news is because Shao Yifu’s decision has not yet been officially issued, but how did Du Qifeng manage to produce at the level of TVB, and there are still channels that first knew such news.

Then, Du Qifeng wanted to go to the big screen in 80 years. It was only because the box office of Bishuihanshan was too bad and he felt that he was not strong enough, so he returned to TVB to hone his director in the TV series. Ability, in the hope that one day you can regain the big screen of the movie circle.

However, Shao Yifu announced that it would drastically cut film production. Although Shao Yifu said that the production will not be completely stopped, the Shaw Brothers brand is still being erected in the Hong Kong film circle. However, Shaw Brothers, which is already in decline, has drastically cut film production. It is no longer the original Shaw family, nor can it become the sustenance of Du Qifeng's dream.

Then Du Qifeng felt that he didn't need to stay in Wireless, anyway, it was impossible to go from Wireless to Shaw.

Ever since, he asked Wang Jing, wanting to follow Wang Jing, and accumulate for Wang Jing as an associate director for two years.

Du Qifeng is the proud disciple of Wang Jing’s old son Wang Tianlin, and is considered Wang Jing’s senior brother. He asked to come to the door, Wang Jing naturally couldn’t refuse. But for Du Qifeng wanting to be Wang Jing’s deputy director, Wang Tianlin first stopped doing it. I feel that my apprentice is now the assistant director Qu Cai.

No way, Wang Jing had to beg Qiao Feng here, and wanted to see if Qiao Feng could give him a chance to help.

Okay, someone brought a pillow over when I was really dozing off.

Qiao Feng's brothers gave you a lot of face and promised to help Wang Jing. Wang Jing who was touched didn't want it, but in fact, Qiao Feng was happy.

However, Du Qifeng was no longer the focus of Qiao Feng’s attention at this time. The director who delivered the door handed it to Zhong Chuyu to negotiate the contract. After that, the script of the movie, the selection of the actors, and so on were all left to Zhong Chuyu to discuss. tube.

Qiao Feng himself focused on the Shaw Academy.

Because just after Shaw broke out that it was going to cut investment and movie output by half, another even more exciting news spread. In the case of Shaw’s large-scale production cut, Shaw Theater’s losses were serious and unsustainable, and Shaw Yifu was about to Sale of Shaw Cinemas.

The source is said to have come from the senior executives of Shaw Brothers, but in fact this news is not accurate. Because Shao Yifu does not actually want to sell the Shaw Cinemas, his ideal way is to rent it out. Shao Yifu’s movie dream has not yet been extinguished. I think I can return to the movie circle one day.

However, it is not important that the news is accurate. What is important is that the three major theaters of Shaw Brothers, Jiahe, and Golden Princess will be broken. A large theater involving more than 20 theaters may change hands.

Why is it that Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers and Golden Princess plus New Art City are really the three pillars in the film industry, and not other film companies? That's because Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and Golden Princess are channel dealers, and the film company is Content provider.

The three others grasp the terminal of movie release.

No matter when and where it is placed, channel providers are always the best. Only content providers seek channel providers, and no channel providers seek content providers.

No matter how good the content provider is, it is nothing more than an equal dialogue with the channel business, just like Qiao Feng.

Just like the Golden Princess was established at the beginning of the year, there is no film source, but people just canceled the underwriting system to attract a large number of independent production companies to rush to get the film to the Golden Princess for screening, and the Golden Princess has no film source. Pick and choose qualifications.

Now, there is a large theater chain, and the old theater chain may be changing hands. This news shocked the movie circle, and it also made people who can eat the theater chain pounce on Shaw like a fish that smells fishy.

The ones that are most able to eat the Shaw Cinemas are undoubtedly the most powerful ones in the movie circle, such as Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, and Debao.

Jiahe, Princess Golden is Shaw's mortal enemy. After fighting with Shaw for many years, Shao Yifu will never transfer the theater to these two.

The rest is Debao, and after that, there are the Jiang family brothers who hold the Anle Theater.

However, Anle Cinemas is mainly engaged in Western movies, which means buying the copyrights of Western movies and taking them back to Hong Kong for screenings. Because Western movies were not too strong in Hong Kong at this time, the Anle Cinemas in Jiang’s hands is almost the same. It’s enough. No matter how many Shaw’s 20 or so theaters are added, the money they can earn from Western movies won’t be too much. Therefore, the Jiang brothers are not too willing to take the Shaw theaters. .

Basically it is an attitude that can win the best, and it doesn't matter if you can't win, so the Jiang brothers can also ignore it.

The only thing left is Pan Disheng, who is in charge of Debao.

Not long ago, a movie made by Debao was drawn offline at the Golden Princess Theatre.

The movie is called Zhiyong Three Treasures. It is directed by Wu Ma and starred by Wu Yaohan, Ye Dexian and others. This film is a series of Brave Double Cannons. Because of the good reputation of the first two Brave Double Cannons and Ssangyong, this film has never been released. I was very optimistic about Debao and Pan Disheng.

Then, after the movie was released, it did not disappoint the audience. It disappointed Debao. It was released on March 9 and was released on March 27. A total of 18 days, it won a box office of 17 million yuan. Not bad.

But Pan Disheng was dissatisfied and even angry.

Because in his opinion, this Zhiyong Three Treasures should be able to get higher, such as more than 20 million box office.

However, Xinyicheng is a subsidiary of Golden Princess, a pro-son, but Debao Cinemas is a partner, not even a godson, so Golden Princess left the best Spring Festival files to Xinyicheng. Congratulations We made a fortune and left the bad March to Debao and Zhiyong Sambo.

This led to the Zhiyong Three Treasures produced by Debao only won more than 17 million in the box office, rather than the higher box office of more than 20 million.

Through this incident, Pan Disheng deeply realized how important it is to control channels, so when Shaw broke the news that it was going to sell the theater, Pan Disheng immediately approached Shaw Yifu.
