Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 405 Jiahe

   Late at night

   Golden Harvest Company

   In the chairman's office, the two big housekeepers of Jiahe, Boss Zou and his right-hand man He Chunchang were worried about one thing.

   When Wu Yusen came back from ATV this afternoon, he told the story that Yang Chen was going to invite Cheng Long to make a movie.

   Ask Cheng Long to film, it's nothing, as long as the price is right, it's easy to talk and negotiate.

   However, the two were afraid of ATV. To be precise, they were afraid that Yang Chen would use some trick to poach Cheng Long from Jiahe.

   After all, they put a lot of effort into poaching Cheng Long. After Li Xiaolong passed away, the Hong Kong Kung Fu film market went downhill.

  Cheng Long was dug from Wu Siyuan with great difficulty, ready to let the other party carry the banner of kung fu film again.

  Cheng Long has also lived up to expectations in the past two years. Movies such as Plan A, Junior Brother and Brother Going Out have become more popular than the other. In this case, the two are keeping a close eye on Cheng Long.

   Compared with the Xu brothers, Cheng Long is now the cash cow of Jiahe. After all, the Xu brothers have their own film company, and they are only affiliated with Jiahe.

   To use an old saying to describe, Cheng Long is now Jiahe’s own son, while the Xu brothers have been adopted sons from the very beginning.

   If it wasn't for the Xu brothers being so powerful and making a blockbuster movie, how could the two big housekeepers of Jiahe treat them as their own sons.

   As for Sammo Hung and the rest of the Seven Little Fortunes, they have meat for soup. Without meat and soup, they can only drink water to stay half full.

  It is not easy for a film company. It is not easy when the market is small, and it is even more difficult when the market is big. Especially, Boss Zou has always wanted to make Hong Kong Films into Hollywood. The money that Jiahe makes all year round is basically used for filming.

It used to be okay, everyone made a movie, and the budget was a few hundred thousand dollars. Thinking about Li Xiaolong’s return to Hong Kong from the United States, the budget for just one movie was 600,000 yuan. .

   In the past, 20000000000000000000000000030003 dollars for 300,000 movies was considered a good budget. Now there are no one or two million dollars, and even celebrities can’t afford it. It’s all small money, and Golden Harvest’s investment in the United States is really big.

   Even someone like a tycoon who is worth billions would not dare to break into Hollywood. Jiahe, a company with a poor background, broke into it all at once.

  Although he succeeded in the end, with the help of Jiahe, he became an international superstar in one fell swoop.

   However, Jiahe is in the middle of making and losing, and is lonely with Xiangjiang Movies every day.

  The ending of Shijiahe in the future is a bit unpleasant, but I have to say that Boss Zou is really admirable in this regard.

   At least the other party dares to break through, dare to go out for the Hong Kong Film, and ignore failure time and time again.

   In his early years, he cooperated with Shao Daheng to turn a little-known Shaw Brothers into a giant in the Hong Kong media industry, and he even became Shao Daheng's "right-hand man".

  In the beginning, at Shaw Brothers, everyone knew that Boss Zou, whose position was only the director of the propaganda department, was actually "under one person, above ten thousand people", and was worthy of the name "Second Number One" of Shaw Brothers.

   However, it is a pity that the characteristics of 卲 tycoon can never retain talents, so that the later Golden Harvest became the beginning of Shaw Brothers' loneliness.

  With his excellent work ability, in a short period of time, Boss Zou unified all the cinema dealers in Xiangjiang who were dissatisfied with Shaw Brothers' dominance, giving Jiahe the capital to fight against Shaw Brothers.

   With the addition of kung fu superstar Li Xiaolong, Jiahe began to grow, followed by the Xu brothers, Sammo Hung, and Cheng Long. Ten years later, Jiahe has firmly established the position of Heung Kong No. 2 Film Company.

  If it wasn't for Shaw Brothers still having many theater chains in Southeast Asia, Golden Harvest has already surpassed Shaw Brothers in the Xiangjiang market and stepped on Shaw Brothers.

  However, things are impermanent. With the booming Hong Kong film market and the good Lei Group not operating, Boss Lei pulled Princess Jin to attack.

   This made Jiahe and Shaw Brothers, who had always been enemies in life and death, join forces again, which surprised many melon eaters.

   Seeing that Princess Jin was blocked by the two teams, the theaters could only show Western films to make a living. I thought, ATV suddenly jumped out and directly joined forces with Princess Jin.

The intervention of   ATV has broken the lack of talent of Boss Lei. Nowadays, Princess Jin and the directors of ATV are busy every day, and their actors turn like hair ties.

   With this trend, I believe that it will not be long before Princess Jin will not have the embarrassing situation of no movie screenings.

   At this time, Boss Zou was upset that ATV was coming, and now the other party even wanted to borrow someone to make a movie with them.

   This made Jiahe's two big housekeepers feel like 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past.

  If the borrower was ATV Huang Xizhao, then they would naturally be too lazy to deal with it, but the borrower was the young man who is currently in the limelight.

   For the young man who rose from the sky, Boss Zou, like everyone else, felt that he had lived on Bee all his life.

   "Wenhuai, do we agree to this matter or reject it for Aaron?"

  Boss Zou heard the words, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I can't go back, we don't agree, they will definitely bypass us and go directly to Aaron. Once they are persuaded to move Aaron, use Aaron's temperament."

   Having said this, Boss Zou stopped and did not continue to say, others may not understand Cheng Long, but how can they not understand.

   Now Cheng Long lacks everything, except for a gold master.

   is the so-called, not a family, do not enter a family,

  卲 Tycoon is stingy, but Boss Zou is actually not that good.

   Unlike Tycoon 卲, Boss Zou is more generous to his subordinates, but he is really cruel to the companies he cooperates with.

The Xu brothers and Sammo Hung made countless top-selling films for Golden Harvest, but the last one was too poor to make a film, and the other was so poor that it was difficult to eat. Part of the reason was because of Golden Harvest’s dividend-sharing methods in overseas markets, not only did it cost nothing. Give it, and let the two owe a lot of debt.

   Later, the Xu brothers and Sammo Hung and Jiahe parted ways because of the conflict over overseas dividends.

   In the market of Xiangjiang alone, it is not bad for ordinary films to be able to maintain their capital. What really makes money is overseas dividends.

   However, the two big housekeepers of Jiahe are really ugly, and the angry Xu brothers and Hong Jinbao can only leave.

   The reason why Brother Long played in later generations was mainly because of the high salary and overseas dividends, which he rarely managed.

  With the lessons learned, Brother Long is not stupid. The more popular the movie is, the higher the salary will be.

   Brother Long's salary is high, followed by the salary of the entire Xiangjiang star artist, and it has also increased.

  The crab grew bigger and bigger, but the steamer did not grow, which was one of the reasons why the later Hong Kong movies were lonely.
