Although today's Hong Kong film industry is still full of entertainment, luxury and extravagance, Hong Kong filmmakers all know that the most glorious era of Hong Kong films has passed.

Although, Hong Kong has a Hong Kong Kumho Film Group that dominates the world's film industry. Every year, it produces excellent works to compete for the top spot in the world's film box office. It can cooperate with first-class companies, first-class directors and first-class actors in Hollywood.

, its works can be distributed globally, and the profits it earns are in the hundreds of millions of dollars! In many cases, the box office of a movie by Hong Kong Kumho Film Group has exceeded that of other Hong Kong movies that year.

The total box office is such an outrageous thing.

Hong Kong Kumho Film Group is now the largest company in the Hong Kong film industry. Although it also shoots some films independently, its influence is difficult to compare with those blockbusters. In the early years, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group was just established

At that time, we were still co-producing with many film companies in Hong Kong. At that time, it was also a prosperous era for Hong Kong films. Those co-productions almost always made a profit, and some of them failed. But as Hong Kong Kumho Film Group gradually stood up

After establishing a foothold, personnel training has also caught up, and co-productions have become less and less. Nowadays, there is almost nothing. But these film companies in Hong Kong can't say anything. After all, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group was

The number of co-production films produced by the company is also quite large, and the quality is generally high, and they have also received a lot of benefits. Although Hong Kong Kumho Film Group is no longer co-productions, it has not made great efforts with companies like them.

Instead of competition, they have set their sights on the world film market. At this time, they are grateful that Hong Kong Kumho Film Group does not bother to live here in Hong Kong.

As for Hong Kong movies, if we exclude the flourishing Kumho Film Group in Hong Kong, they have been in a downturn over the past few years. Not only has the annual output dropped from more than 250 movies in the early 1990s to this year, it will not exceed 200.

, and the box office has shrunk by nearly half from the one billion yuan that year. Except for a few stars and directors, the works of others have little influence in the Hong Kong film market.

Of course, this is due to the constant impact of Hollywood movies over the years, the booming domestic piracy industry, many heavyweight actors entering Hollywood, and the government's restrictive policies on filmmaking. There are also many factors.

The reason is that Hong Kong's economy has been greatly impacted by the Southeast Asian crisis, and the capital invested in the film industry has decreased. The public's desire to go to cinemas to watch movies has also decreased. Moreover, films from Japan and South Korea have also been revitalized.

This has severely impacted the original overseas markets of Hong Kong films.

Hong Kong Star Film Company has certainly not been as good as before over the years, and An Yixin is also having a headache over this. Looking at the huge sales of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group's films, I can't help but miss the co-production era. Although that

At that time, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group was also very powerful. The copyright of the work belongs to Hong Kong Kumho Film Group. Other companies can make sequels, but they have no right to transfer the copyright to other companies. Moreover, among the crew, there are people from Hong Kong Kumho Film Group.

Basically, they were sent to study. However, at that time, the works produced were watched by people. Not only did they sell well in Hong Kong, but they also sold well overseas and in mainland China! Where can you make a movie like now?

, being able to not lose money is already a very good achievement. Occasionally, there can be a few high-grossing works, which can make them very happy.

Think about Hong Kong’s Kumho Film Group. Last year’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” made it the big winner at this year’s Oscars, with a global box office of more than one billion U.S. dollars. It made Hong Kong filmmakers’ eyes bloodshot! And that’s not all.

Counting some small-production films produced by Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and other film companies during the same period, although the box office is naturally not astonishing, they are generally profitable.

This year, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" co-produced by Hong Kong's Kumho Film Group and the American Kingfisher Film Group, and "The Lord of the Rings" co-produced by the American New Line Cinema have not yet been released, but they have already caused a stir among movie lovers around the world.

There have been waves of discussion, and it is completely conceivable what kind of movie-watching craze these two masterpieces will trigger around the world when they are released.

Hong Kong's Kumho Film Group and New Line Cinema only invested US$20 million in the production of "The God of Death", and its global box office has already approached the US$300 million mark. This is even more enviable to Hong Kong filmmakers who simply don't know what to expect.

What can I say? Like those blockbusters that often invest hundreds of millions of dollars, they can comfort themselves by saying that in Hong Kong, due to the small local market, it is impossible for such high-cost movies to appear. But with an investment of 20 million US dollars,

Taking into account the cost of filming in the two places, Hong Kong film companies can actually fully afford it. Not to mention that the global box office is close to 300 million US dollars, even if it can get back 100 million US dollars in box office, it is so worth it!

The core reason for the vastly different performance between Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and other film companies is that there is one person in Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, a screenwriting genius recognized by Hollywood, Fang Mingyuan. He single-handedly created Hong Kong Kumho Film

The group has single-handedly brought it to its current height.

It was precisely because An Yixin knew this very well that when he received Fang Mingyuan's invitation, he agreed without hesitation. No matter why Fang Mingyuan invited him, this was a way to bring the two parties closer.

Although he knew very well about the opportunity of the relationship, he and Fang Mingyuan were not on the same level now.

When An Yixin arrived at the top box of Fang's Restaurant in Hong Kong's central business district, he was surprised to see many people sitting in the box, including the bosses of two other film companies.

If the three of them have something in common, it is that they all have Taoist backgrounds. Also present are the bosses of several associations and two senior inspectors of the Hong Kong police!

Although An Yixin has been cleansed by now, at least on the surface, he is no longer involved in the underworld's business, but seeing the boss of the society sitting with the police still feels particularly strange.

"Boss An! You are here too!" Everyone stood up and greeted with smiles on their faces.

An Yixin also greeted everyone one by one, especially the two senior inspectors, who was even more protective.

As soon as he sat down, and before communicating with others, he saw the door of the box being pushed open, and then a middle-aged man came in. He folded his arms on his chest, looked around at everyone in the box and said:

"Except for the person who received the invitation, all the entourage will go out!"

Many people present immediately became noisy, especially those who came with the club bosses. The middle-aged man just said calmly: "The security here is handled by the Guo family and the Fang family, as well as two senior police inspectors.

Now, if you people don't go out, do you think that the Guo family, the Fang family, and the police are uniting to deal with you? To be blunt, do you think we need to take off our pants and fart, do you need this extra procedure? "Everyone here?

Many people in the crowd looked at each other in confusion. The middle-aged man's words were quite cruel.

An Yixin chuckled and waved his hand, and the people who followed him immediately stood up. An Yixin said: "Then please help me arrange this, sir, and give them a place to rest!" He

I don’t believe that Fang Mingyuan invited him here just to deal with him. Firstly, there was no conflict between the two, and they had a passionate relationship. Secondly, as this middle-aged man said, if Fang Mingyuan is cruel,

There is no need to go to such trouble to deal with them.

The middle-aged man opened the door and said, "Please, someone will greet you when you get out."

With An Yixin taking the lead, the others naturally followed suit and sent their followers out one after another.

The middle-aged man said again: "Everyone, please turn off your mobile phones and put them on the table. If you have knives, firearms, audio and video recordings on your body, please hand them to your entourage and do not let them go by then."

We found out and everyone’s face looks bad!”

Everyone was in an uproar again, but An Yixin noticed that the two senior inspectors put their firearms and mobile phones on the table without hesitation. An Yixin also took out his mobile phone, turned it off and put it on the table.

Although the others looked reluctant, one of them said: "Mr. Guo and Mr. Fang are both important people we respect, but we small people also have our own dignity. Isn't it too much for you to do this?"

.”

The middle-aged man said calmly: "There is a reason for us to do this. You will know it in a moment. Moreover, if you think it is too much, you can withdraw from this meeting. However, don't blame us for not reminding us. If

Say you quit and don't regret it in the future." Although his tone was calm, many people felt chilled by it.

"I need to go to the bathroom, can I?" Mortensen, the owner of East Asia Film Company in Hong Kong, stood up and said with a smile.

The middle-aged man turned sideways and said, "Boss Mo is too polite to say this. We have no intention of restricting your freedom." Others present also stood up and asked to use the bathroom. The middle-aged man did not hinder him and waited for everyone to go to the bathroom.

They returned to the room and sat down again, turned off their cell phones and put them on the table.

The middle-aged man looked around at everyone and said: "Everyone, let me remind you one last time that it is best not to have knives, firearms, audio and video recordings, including eavesdropping, etc. on you. If anyone has forgotten, this is the last time.

Chance."

Everyone shook their heads, and the middle-aged man nodded, then opened the door and went out. (To be continued...)
