Superstars start from HK Entertainment

For He Jin, this incident really affected his image.

Fighting between fans is not a big deal. The most important thing is that the news released by the police is that this time the fight between fans involved gangs.

Two big singers are actually involved in the underworld, and the impact on their image can be imagined.

Although Xiangjiang is a place full of societies.

Even the entertainment industry is indeed a place where people of all kinds gather together.

Most companies also have relationships with societies.

But it's all secret.

The general public generally pays attention to celebrity beauties and seldom understands the background of those companies.

Therefore, when the news came out that He Jin and Jacky Cheung were involved in gangs, the first reaction of many citizens was disbelief, and then naturally they were angry.

The general public is easily influenced by the media.

If anyone is really doing it, I'm afraid it's just them.

This time, there is no sign of anyone messing with my affairs at all.

Golden Harvest has been cultivating Zhao Wenzhuo for the past two years, with the purpose of making him a first-line superstar to replace the vacancies of Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao.

Companies such as Xinyi City and Yongsheng are products of this model.

Due to the emergence of "new treasures", foreign capital from Taiwan and other places successfully entered the Hong Kong film market. "In the early 1990s, the main investors in the Hong Kong film market were no longer the 'golden princesses' who made all the difference in the past.

Bao', 'Golden Harvest' and other theater chain owners, but Taiwan's 'eight major movie studios'."

On the phone, Han Sanping once again expressed his hope that He Jin would transfer the company to China.

In its later stages of development, "New Art City" is increasingly transforming into the large-scale production system of the "Shaw Brothers" glory days. In addition to owning film studios, there are also dubbing studios, record companies, etc., with more than a hundred employees, and basic expenses are maintained every year.

It requires more than 10 million yuan.

At the same time, there were serious differences in the business philosophy of its chief executive. After 1986, Shi Nansheng resigned, Tsui Hark and Eric Tsang also left "New Art City", Gao Zhisen switched to "Debao", and Mai Jia switched to "Baohe".

Since Stephen Chow terminated his contract with them in the first half of the year and started his own business, and Wong Jing also left them in the second half of the year, their company has been in decline. Now the two brothers are busy preparing to enter the Macau gaming industry, so they are not in the mood to do anything on their own.

Some shrewd Hong Kong cinema chain operators saw this surge of overseas funds. In 1988, Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong, who jointly operated the Golden Princess Cinema with Lei Juekkun, opened their own Xinbao Cinema separate from the "Golden Princess".

Wire.

Han Sanping didn't believe the news.

Han Sanping's words were still ringing in his ears, and He Jin frowned and began to think about who would mess with him.

As for the purpose, of course it is to ask about this matter.

Domestic investigations into He Jin's background have long been clear.

The large influx of foreign capital has undoubtedly broken the original stable and mature Hong Kong film investment environment. New variables have appeared in the cooperation between production companies and theaters, and the "satellite" production model has also shown a trend of disintegration.

In the mid-to-late 1980s, Hong Kong films were popular in Taiwan, South Korea and other Southeast Asian regions due to their stable quality and diverse genres.

He Jin even felt that the domestic investigation of his bad things might be clear.

So this model is called satellite business model.

In addition, there is another important reason why He Jin eliminated them.

At that time, Shaw Brothers' large-scale production studio had an outdated management method. Not only did its actors receive low wages, but the directors and creators also received very little benefit.

As for the directors, Johnnie To and Chen Jinhui are already Hong Kong's new big box-office directors with their Fast and Furious series and Young and Dangerous series.

In the mid-to-late 1980s, this model directly created numerous companies established around the three theater chains of Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, and Debao.

They knew very well whether it was involved in gangs or not.

The so-called satellite management concept is actually to delegate power to its directors and small companies. Golden Harvest invests and distributes, while its directors and small companies are responsible for production. In this way, creators can not only create and shoot movies with maximum freedom, but also own the movies.

share of the box office, and profits doubled.

However, in the face of the stable marketing order of the theater chain system at that time, these overseas capital lacked smooth channels to enter Hong Kong film and television. Especially during the prosperity of "New Art City" and "Jiahe", foreign capital could only occasionally pass through Hong Kong's independent production companies.

When a company invests in Hong Kong films, it cannot get Hong Kong's first-line stars to join the company, let alone important filming schedules.

For the country, He Jin's company has a very good scale. After returning to China, it will not only bring a good amount of tax revenue to the country, but also promote the development of the industry. Why not!

At the same time, the end of "New Art City" also seriously affected the film source of "Golden Princess".

Don't question the power of the country. If it really mobilizes its power to investigate you, there is no way you can hide anything.

What they are doing now is Speed ​​3. Speed ​​3 has low box office figures, which is not good for them.

"Xinbao" began to mainly serve as an intermediary, bridging the influx of foreign capital and independent production companies in Hong Kong, and co-producing. In addition to being released in Xinbao theaters, the finished films can also be brought back to the mainland by investors.

Market profit.

He Jin said.

There is a lot of competition between the two parties, whether it is box office or actors for various movie shootings.

Although most of Huaren Film and Television’s movies are shown in Jiahe Cinema.

Although Andy Lau has not signed a contract with Huaren, his movie theater has cooperated more and more with Huaren, and it is almost equivalent to the satellite of Huaren Film and Television.

Fast and Furious 3, which is currently in theaters, has China Star’s investment.

Moreover, Huaren has developed rapidly in the past two years. For several consecutive years, several of the top ten films in the local box office rankings in Hong Kong were produced by Huaren.

In terms of star lineup, Huaren has surpassed Jiahe.

The call was from Han Sanping, who had just left Xiangjiang yesterday.

The companies of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and others are like satellites orbiting the earth like Zhong Jiahe.

It's still the kind of competition where Jiahe will be knocked out of the dominance position by Huaren if he's not careful.

In fact, to put it simply, it is to move the company to China.

Golden Harvest saw the opportunity in this situation and defeated Shaw Brothers with its satellite management concept.

In addition, there is another star in the Young and Dangerous series, Louis Koo, who became popular in Southeast Asia through the TV series The Condor Heroes.

no!

They are the kind of company that is not as good as its superiors but more than its inferiors.

We are very eager for talents from your company!”

Among them, PolyGram is impossible. Not to mention that Jacky Cheung is a PolyGram guy, so he can’t do anything to his own people. Just because He Jin’s records in North America and Europe are in their hands, it’s unlikely that they will do anything to He Jin.

Is He Jin a complete bad guy?

The first thing He Jin thought of was the Xiang brothers.

Moreover, the competition between CSOT's VCD company and Sony for the VCD market in the Asian market is also very fierce. It is very likely that they will do something on their own.

You know, from the 1980s to the 1990s, the star effect was the strongest.

Moreover, He Jin has no conflict or interest relationship with bmg at all, so he doesn't believe it at all when he says he is doing He Jin.

"Xiao He, I think there may be someone behind your affairs this time! I'm afraid someone is trying to mess with you, so you have to be careful."

As a result, losses occurred in 1985.

As the largest film and television company in Hong Kong, it is currently the rival of Huaren Film and Television.

After occupying the position of overlord for longer and longer, Jiahe's current business methods began to slowly become outdated.

As long as this is confirmed, then nothing will happen.

Warner Records has a lot of grievances and grudges with China Star Records. Whether it is the competition for singers, the competition for awards, or the competition for the market, the two parties have great conflicts.

As for the three people on Hua Yan's side, He Jin is Le Zhuanying. His huge fan base makes his box office appeal almost equal to that of Jackie Chan.

However, when He Jin thought about it carefully, he felt that it was impossible.

The representative companies of this business model are the companies of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and others.

The reason why Han Sanping called was to tell He Jin that if it was not easy to live in Xiangjiang, he could go back to China and live there.

He believed that the Xiang brothers were unlikely to do anything to him at this juncture.

Even, to a certain extent, with He Jin, Andy Lau, and Louis Koo, three big stars with box office appeal, they have surpassed Golden Harvest to a certain extent.

Therefore, the domestic background of He Jin is very clear.

For example, among the top ten Chinese-language blockbusters in Taiwan in the late 1980s, nine out of ten were made in Hong Kong. This situation attracted overseas capital, mainly Taiwanese capital.

BMG, although BMG is one of the four major labels in Hong Kong, this record company has always kept a low profile in Hong Kong.

It can be said that Huaren currently has sufficient funds and has a large number of big-name stars and directors. Compared with Golden Harvest, it only lacks one theater chain.

The current giant record companies in Hong Kong are PolyGram, Warner, BMG, and China Star.

With this advanced concept, Golden Harvest successfully defeated Shaw Brothers and became the largest film and television company in Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s.

But due to various other reasons, the relationship between the two parties is not limited to a cooperative relationship, but more of a competitive relationship.

Many movie fans go to movies to see the stars.

This will naturally be impacted by new companies.

However, due to the changes in this cinema chain marketing model in the late 1980s, the ecological environment of the Hong Kong film industry has also undergone fundamental changes, which has also curbed the rapid development of the Hong Kong film industry.

Apart from the Xiang brothers, He Jin set his sights on the record company.

The two chatted for a few more words, and before hanging up the phone, Han Sanping's words made He Jin couldn't help but frown.

"Since you are prepared, I won't say more. I hope your company's focus can return to China as soon as possible.

First of all, the disintegration of "New Arts City" affected the structure of the Hong Kong film industry.

Even without the support of theaters, Huaren is eyeing Golden Harvest with strong financial support and the support of stars and directors.

There's no way around it. In Xiangjiang Entertainment's stories, these two brothers have always been the villains.

Think about the future Xiang brothers, what things about them doesn’t the country know about?

In the late 1980s, the establishment of Xinbao Cinema Chain was another important factor in the changes in the Hong Kong film landscape during this period.

At noon that day, He Jin received many calls.

As for Jiahe.

But Zhao Wenzhuo has never been able to mention it.

Not only that, He Jin also received calls from China.

The disintegration of the top management of "New Arts City" caused it to fade out of the Hong Kong film scene after 1988. The decline of "New Arts City" once again proved that in a modern society where the entertainment industry is highly developed, the film industry should also adapt to the development of the times.

With the trend of diversification and flexibility, the "big and comprehensive" big factory system has become outdated and is destined to be eliminated once it appears.

For now, He Jin’s Huaren Film and Television is the most threatening company.

"Don't worry, it won't be long. Our company has a very complete plan for domestic development. I believe that we will not disappoint our superiors by then!"

So, in the end, He Jin set his sights on Warner Records and Golden Harvest Films.

That is, I basically cooperate more with these two brothers than have grievances.

Now in Golden Harvest, Yuen Biao's box office appeal is no longer there, Sammo Hung has turned behind the scenes, and only Jackie Chan is standing up to Golden Harvest.

Moreover, the various methods of these two brothers are also extremely sophisticated.

They will not understand the truth or falsehood of the facts. They will only feel that they have been deceived and that their favorite celebrity is actually a bad person.

From the morning when all major media and newspapers appeared, to the afternoon, this day, the news about He Jin and Jacky Cheung's involvement in gangs was making a fuss.

Just like when Jiahe faced the old evil dragon of Shaw Brothers, the current situation is very similar to that of then.

There were condolences from fellow celebrities, and inquiries from the endorsement merchants, asking whether the incident was true or not, and asking whether the incident would affect the endorsed products.

Huaren already has multiple front lines.

Under such circumstances, Jiahe will definitely be anxious.

Therefore, He Jin strongly suspected that Jiahe might be behind this incident.

Moreover, He Jin's Huaren Film and Television, under the leadership of Fang Cheng, is currently in contact with some independent theaters in Xiangjiang and wants to build its own theater chain.

This must have inevitably triggered Jiahe's nerves.
