Superstars start from HK Entertainment

"Mr. He, we checked and found that Jiahe is indeed behind this news."

In the afternoon, Xiaoping asked someone to check according to He Jin's instructions.

The facts turned out to be exactly what Jin thought. After Jiahe learned the news about He Jin and Jacky Cheung this morning, he immediately sent people to promote the news.

After learning that the media continued to blast last night's news after China Star and PolyGram PR, He Jin immediately took measures.

He first notified PolyGram and asked them to prepare a response.

Subsequently, Huaxing spent a large amount of public relations fees to publicize this incident.

If you didn't know that Jiahe was behind the scenes, or if you discovered it too late and let the news continue to ferment for several days, then no matter what He Jin does here, it will definitely be useless.

Fortunately, He Jin discovered it early, so even if the news had been brewing for a while, as long as Huaxing and PolyGram responded correctly, no matter how hard Jiahe pushed it, there was nothing He Jin could do.

After all, everything has a source. As long as the source is eliminated, all rumors will naturally be self-defeating.

The source of this incident is undoubtedly the fan gang-related report filed by the police.

In Xiang Huaqiang's view, He Jin just had too much money and no place to put it.

Do you want to invest some money? Although the market is sluggish now, I believe that we will never lose money if we cooperate."

Since I don’t understand it, I naturally won’t be resistant to this kind of news about the background.

The Xiang brothers are currently focusing on the Mark Six Lottery and gambling industry. In their opinion, that industry is the direction where they can make a lot of money. In addition, they have begun to reduce their investment in film and television, so it is normal for them not to be interested in their own ideas.

Without investors, the crew cannot operate. If the crew cannot operate, there will be no good-quality movies. Without movies, theaters will naturally not be able to operate.

"Sorry, I'm not very interested in this."

They will be responsible for importing movies from Hong Kong, the United States and other places and showing them in Japan.

It can be said that since Taiwan shifted its film source selection direction to North America, the number of people coming to Hong Kong to invest in movies has dropped by more than half.

I plan to have Super 3 released in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan and other places in advance.

This incident broke out suddenly, and although He Jin and the others responded, some people inevitably resisted He Jin due to the news.

"It's useless no matter how much we say now, Jiahe has already made it clear that they want to suppress me.

Establishing a theater chain here in Xiangjiang is just his preparation for entering the country.

"Golden Sound" also forms a sister line with "Xinbao", co-screening in a dual line.

On the phone, Xiang Huaqiang was shocked by He Jin's idea.

Of course, He Jin knew about the gradual decline of Xiangjiang movies, and also knew that Xiangjiang theaters were facing a situation where they had no films to show.

In addition to producing its own films, this company is also the largest importer of foreign films in Japan.

Only Jiahe's Jia Le, Chen Rongmei's Golden Sound, Xinbao, and Huang Baiming's Oriental Cinemas, which took over the Golden Princess legacy, are large-scale theaters.

Until the 14th, a week later, Super 3 had only earned 5.3 million at the box office.

If you want to fail at the box office, just pretend I didn't say anything."

However, we are not helpless.

At that time, their condition was that the next three series would have to go to their theaters."

"What are you going to do with Jiahe?"

The rights of theater chains are also very large.

Even if your film collides with a film from a company directly affiliated with the theater chain, the theater chain will even cut your film in half in order to make more money.

Moreover, He Jin is not only planning to build a theater chain in Xiangjiang, his goal is the mainland.

It can be said that the source of the matter has been resolved.

At the police station, with the persuasion of PolyGram's senior management and after He Jin and Jacky Cheung paid a certain amount of money, the police station has let go of those fans and issued a statement proving that the original case was wrongly published.

at.

Many small theater chains have emerged one after another. In 1992, there were as many as 23 combinations of large and small theater chains in Hong Kong.

For example, in 1992, the number of Hong Kong-produced films reached 215. By 1993, film output had increased to 242 films. Although the total box office dropped, it still reached HK$1.14 billion.

No one else is open and planning to withdraw, but you actually want to get in.

This situation did not improve until the 1990s when theater chains increased and competition among theater chains became fierce.

Beginning in the late 1980s, influenced by foreign capital from Taiwan and other countries, Golden Princess founders Chen Meirong and Feng Bingcheng split Golden Princess and founded Xinbao Cinema Line.

Not only Xiangjiang, this news once spread to Taiwan, Japan and other places (this is impossible in China, where news control is very strict).

PolyGram is currently in dialogue with the police, and things are progressing well. I believe that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the police will be convinced by PolyGram, and by then the source of this incident will be cut off, and other things will remain.

It can be solved slowly.

As of this year, so far, the number of movies released has dropped to 150.

"Mr. Xiang, you should have seen the news. This is an emergency, and it is inevitable that the box office will be affected.

But for the Speed ​​series, this first-week box office became the lowest first-week box office of the entire series.

However, He Jin did not believe that there would be no profit in this business.

Since Taiwanese film producers gradually withdrew from Hong Kong in 1993, the entire Hong Kong film market has experienced a massive shrinkage.

Therefore, in general, because the gang-related news has made He Jin feel deceived, most of the people who have a certain resistance to He Jin are people here in Xiangjiang.

Xiang Huaqiang was silent for a moment, thinking that He Jin's idea was indeed the most correct idea at the moment.

Not only in these places, but also in China, He Jin also began to urge Han Sanping to help get Su San released in China as soon as possible.

Xiang Huaqiang was not interested in He Jin's idea of ​​establishing a theater chain in Xiangjiang and rejected He Jin.

But now, this idea is recognized as a bad idea.

I plan to spend 100 million to acquire some independent theaters to form a new theater chain, are you interested?"

Nippon Tohoju Kaisha is one of the largest movie theater chains in Japan.

Jiahe plans to do this now.

…

Moreover, even if you are affiliated with a theater company, if you are not a close associate of the theater company, you will not be able to match the theater company's close associates in arranging films.

The main reason why the box office in Hong Kong was affected was because of the news about me two days ago.

Later, due to differences of opinion between Huang and Luo, Huang Baiming formed his own Oriental Cinemas in 1992, which made a breakthrough that year with the release of the co-production film "Farewell My Concubine" and the New Year film "Happy Event in the Flower Field".

The theater chain in Xiangjiang was undergoing rapid changes throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

Xiang Huaqiang said.

The Speed ​​series is already considered a well-produced blockbuster in Asia.

He Jin was deeply convinced by Xiang Huaqiang's words, but he still retorted:

Since then, Xiangjiang Cinema has transitioned from the era of the four overlords to the era of dancing demons.

He Jin has long had the idea of ​​setting up his own theater chain, but he has never made up his mind.

The box office of 5.3 million in the first opening is definitely considered for other ordinary stars.

But even now, theater chains will still cut back on movies invested by other companies.

At that time, a large number of foreign funds founded their own film and television companies, but due to the restrictions of theater chains, they had to list the company under one of the four major companies so that the company's films could be released in theaters.

After the filming of Fast and Furious was completed, these were the theaters that were considered.

This move would have been an excellent investment idea in the 1980s and a few years ago.

Originally, they planned to sit back and wait for the money, but looking at the current situation, the box office of Super 3 is obviously slowing down, so Xiang Jia is very dissatisfied.

If you just look at the box office rankings, this reduction is not obvious.

Chen Rongmei, one of the directors of "Xinbao", also took over the remaining theaters of Golden Princess in 1993 and reorganized them into Golden Sound Cinemas to support independent production companies in the form of loans.

As Xiang Huaqiang said, sure enough, Golden Harvest notified Huaren that afternoon, saying that Speed ​​3 had no box office potential and that they would cut down on emissions.

He Jin is not surprised by this.

Of course, compared to the anger of the citizens here in Xiangjiang who felt cheated, the fans in Japan didn't feel much about this news.

After the first week's box office of Super 3 was released, Xiang Huaqiang called He Jin immediately and questioned He Jin about the box office.

He Jin said to Xiang Huaqiang on the phone.

Therefore, during this period, the box office of Speed ​​3 in Hong Kong dropped more and more day by day.

"If you can't find an investment direction, come with me. The gaming industry in Macau is now booming. If we cooperate, we will be able to quickly gain a foothold in Macau."

By then, even if Hong Kong’s box office is not good, this movie will definitely not lose money.”

The increase in the number of films has in turn increased the number of theater chains, and powerful theater chains such as "Debao" and "Golden Princess" have successors.

"Are you crazy?"

What Jiahe did now just made him determined.

But if we carefully investigate the number of movie releases each year, as well as the total revenue of Hong Kong movies in the past two years.

"Since Jiahe wants to play, I will play with them.

In 1991, Huang Baiming, one of the three giants of the original "New Art City", and Macau businessman Roger took over the Debao Cinemas and reorganized it into Yonggao Cinemas to carry out production and distribution business.

"Happy Event" earned more than 48 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.

Since falling in 1989, film economic indicators have experienced substantial growth.

The Xiang brothers invested 7 million in this film, accounting for 20% of the investment.

To be honest, in this era, movie box office is largely linked to the size of the theater chain.

"Mr. Katian, I really can't accept your offer, even though the box office of Super 3 in the first week in Hong Kong was not as good as the first two.

He knows the potential of the mainland better than anyone else.

In the 1980s, Xiangjiang's film industry was at its peak, but external funds were never able to enter. The reason was that the theater chain was tightly controlled by the Big Four, and no one else could get involved.

Now that the news has been explained clearly, we believe that the movie's box office will definitely increase in the coming weeks."

"Forget it, I don't know how to gamble, I'm only interested in the cultural industry.

In the next few days, the news about He Jin and Jacky Cheung's fans being involved in gangs and involving He Jin and Jacky Cheung has been making headlines in Hong Kong.

Invest in theaters.

For the fans there, they don't know much about He Jin's life background, they only know that he is Chinese.

But if you have watched the movie, you should know that there is no problem with the quality of this movie.

But after all, the word "criminal involvement" has spread, and Su San was affected by this and became the one who took the blame.

But secretly, he began to contact film producers in Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, and Taiwan, planning to release Super 3 in these regions in advance.

Our top priority now is to find a way to get fans to return their attention to the movie, instead of having another internal dispute.

Even if this year is not over, it will only pass in two or three months, and there will definitely not be more than twenty movies released in the next period.

"The theater release contract for Fast 3 was signed when the first film was released. At that time, Fast and Furious approached several theaters one after another, but none of them could reach an agreement. Only Jiale (Jiahe's theater chain) was willing to accept it.

Our conditions.

"Before the movie was released, I said I would not cooperate with Golden Harvest's cinema chain, but chose to cooperate with Jinsheng Cinema. Now it's okay. Golden Harvest is obviously trying to suppress our film."

In the 1980s, the entire theater chain in Xiangjiang was owned by Jiale (Jiahe Cinema Line), Golden Princess (the financier of New Art City), Debao (Sammo Hung and Dickson Poon took over the Shaw Brothers Cinema chain to establish it), Shuangnan (domestic film company

The theater chain of Yindu Institution, formed in Hong Kong, mainly showing mainland movies) and other four major theater chains dominate.

Then you will find that the number of Hong Kong movies has dropped from more than 300 in 1993 to more than 220 in 1994.

Regarding this, He Jin asked Fang Cheng to continue talking with Jiahe.

As long as the police can come forward, the source can naturally be eliminated.

"I got news that Golden Harvest's theater chain is canceling the release of the third film."

The decline in the number of movies, coupled with the steady decline in the total annual movie box office, makes all practitioners in Hong Kong know that Hong Kong movies have begun to decline.

Under such circumstances, the revenue of major cinemas in Xiangjiang has also begun to decline significantly. Since this year, many cinemas have begun to go bankrupt.

After questioning He Jin and being retorted by He Jin's somewhat dissatisfied words, Xiang Huaqiang on the phone lowered his tone and spoke in a low voice.

He has received inside information from Jiahe, which has begun preparations to reduce the schedule for Fast and Furious.

However, although there are as many as 23 theater chains, most of them are theater chains with only a few theaters.

In the office of Huaren Film and Television, He Jin is receiving Ka Tian, ​​the external film introducer of Japan's Toboju Company.

In the past few days, the one that has been most affected by this mentality is He Jin's "Fast and Furious 3".

The entire series is also very famous in Japan.

Therefore, when Huaren called them, they immediately sent someone over.

"He Sang, you know, we don't dare to gamble."

Kada's offer for Speed ​​3 was HK$20 million to obtain the Japanese screening rights and video distribution rights.

He Jin is not satisfied with this price, so the two parties are now in a stalemate.
