Rebirth: Becoming a Tycoon from Hong Kong in 1977

On the other side, Jiahe Film Company.

In the small conference room sat several men in suits and leather shoes.

The expression was solemn and thoughtful, and the atmosphere seemed a little dull.

They were also discussing last night’s trailer.

But the content of the discussion is different.

In this oppressive atmosphere.

CEO Zou Wenhuai, who was sitting in the first place, glanced at it and said, “I believe that everyone here has seen the trailer of the Predator last night. ”

“People who haven’t seen it can now watch it right away!”

Seeing that everyone shook their heads, he nodded with satisfaction, and continued: “Tell me what you think of this movie trailer!” ”

“The trailer clip is too short to give too much evaluation, but I can see that the Song family has huge business investment, unique primitive rainforest, fully armed special forces, grand guns roaring, beautiful heroines, there should be big selling elements, I estimate that the main film scene is not bad.”

“It’s a bit of a thrilling and terrifying taste, the action scenes in the advertising campaign, and the sci-fi elements are subtly presented, which fully pulls the audience’s desire to explore down.”

“……”

“It seems that your views are the same as mine, this movie box office will not be bad, then explore how to stop this big ship from setting sail!”

Zou Wenhuai pushed his glasses and looked at the people present and said solemnly.

He was from Sir Shaw’s right arm.

To dissatisfied with Shaw’s miserly salary system and left to establish Jiahe Company.

In the first year, he invited Li Xiaolong with a high salary.

The first movie “Tangshan Big Brother” set a record for the highest box office of a movie since the opening of Hong Kong Island.

The following year, “Jingwumen” once again broke the Asian box office record.

Then the Xu Guanwen brothers joined and began filming “Ghost Horse Double Star”, creating a series of social satirical comedies and winning the box office championship that year.

Wu Yushen directed the Cantonese opera film “Emperor Girl Flower” that year’s box office fourth.

Sammo Hung signed with Jiahe this year, creating a precedent for humorous kung fu films.

It is calculated that Jiahe and Shaw have been fighting in the ring for seven years.

There have been difficulties in the middle, and there have been countless honors.

Seven years of unremitting development, not only the number and quality of films, the scale of theaters, and the box office are completely better than the old club Shaw’s.

It has also overwhelmed other independent production companies on Hong Kong Island and become a pioneer in different types of films.

Yin has established itself as a leader in the film industry.

Aiming to become the world’s largest Chinese-language film production company.

Unexpectedly, the Song Family’s Films, which suddenly came out, directly smashed out a road with huge capital.

At the same time, I can’t figure out how my old club, Sir Shao, would sell important theaters.

Seeing that everyone in the conference room was still silent.

“Don’t you have any ideas?”

Zou Wenhuai frowned and looked at the praying mantis eyebrow man on the right hand side and said, “Guanchang, you are the general manager of the production team, you have the most say, have you planned any new movies recently?” ”

“Chairman, if it’s an ordinary script, I can take it out at any time.”

“But I know that’s not what you want.”

“A movie like Predator with such a big investment, if our company rashly starts filming one.”

“Believe me, the script is not carefully created and polished, and the film made will not be too ideal at the box office.”

“At that time, the company will face losses, which is not worth the loss.”

“What’s more, now that Predator has not been released, it is true that it is huge, but the box office is not necessarily high.”

“Therefore, there is no need to mess with yourself now, worrying about the other party impacting the company.”

“I suggest that we should follow the company’s original development route, small cost, large quantity, and win by quantity and quality.”

“He develops his, we develop ours, irrelevant.”

As one of the founders of Jiahe, He Guanchang.

He is the production manager of the co-ordinating crew.

On the contrary, there are different views on this matter.

There is not much to worry about the Predator, after all, money is inexhaustible.

But to change the course of development rashly is tantamount to digging your own grave.

Zou Wenhuai nodded after hearing this, and did not show his attitude.

Then he looked at Liang Feng, the manager of the propaganda department next to him, with unchanged expression, and gestured with his eyes to explain his views.

“My opinion is the same as General Manager He, large-cost production, the company is not suitable now.”

“The hidden danger is too high, and there is a risk that the cost will not be recovered.”

“And Predator can set off such a big heat on Hong Kong Island, not only because of this trailer, but also because of the overwhelming publicity method.”

“This method also provides the propaganda department with unprecedented ideas, and it can be advertised in this way.”

Zou Wenhuai frowned: “The company has produced too many films, and it is impossible to spend a huge amount of money on such publicity every one.” ”

“I know, but this kind of publicity is really useful, and in the future, it is completely possible to select potential films to use this method appropriately, and I believe that the subsequent company’s film profits will have new improvements.”

“For movies that have not yet been released by the company, you can choose one to test the water.”

Zou Wenhuai agreed to this suggestion, and then looked at John Woo, who had been sitting next to him without a counter-speech, and said:

“Asen, look at what you’ve been thinking, do you have another opinion?”

“Chairman, I’m the director, the focus is different from yours, I watched that trailer last night.”

“I found the shooting method very unfamiliar, there was no director’s name on it, I guessed it was a new director, and it was not a type that was good at action style.”

“If you go through such a short trailer, you can conclude that this movie can be a big seller, which is too exaggerated and arbitrary.”

“After all, a big investment does not mean that the finished product must be excellent, and a failed film with a big investment is not without precedent.”

“Therefore, what the final box office will be, or the audience has the final say after the release.”

“Success and failure, I think the odds are just as good.” John Woo voiced his thoughts.

When Wang Jing joined the Shaw Clan a long time ago, he had already switched to Jiahe.

Naturally, I don’t know Wang Jing, who is still a nobody, in the Shaw family.

“Asen, it makes sense!”

Zou Wenhuai nodded approvingly.

Only then, hearing this ambiguous good news, did he smile.

After the discussion just now, he no longer had the idea of big investment in his mind.

I also think it’s a little too alarmist.

Stood up and clapped his hands:

“Leave the meeting and go back to your own advertising, except for the rescheduling of the advertising for the new movie!” Everything else is business as usual. ”

“Understood!”
