Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 543: Become an ally

The Japanese premiere of "Terminator 2" was a success, especially Cameron's remarks at the premiere, which caused an uproar in Japan and even the world.

In Japan, Mitsuri Uda has become the focus of national attention, and is also regarded as the leader of Japan's new generation of female stars. The starlight is so brilliant that no one can match it for a while!

As we all know, the international influence of Japanese films is very small, and their market is mainly domestic. Not many can enter the Hong Kong, Taiwan and even Southeast Asian markets. Their status in Asia is not as good as that of Hong Kong films, or even inferior to Chinese films.

There is no real international movie star who can represent Japan, which has been an unspeakable pain for the Japanese entertainment industry for many years. The appearance of Mitsuri Uda and Cameron's attitude really gave the Japanese a glimmer of hope.

So some Japanese people even shouted that Mitsuri Uda will become Japan's first truly international female movie star!

If Mitsuri Uda's influence is only limited to Japan, then Cameron's official announcement of the new film's preparations to start filming has spread its influence all over the world. For a time, movie fans all over the world were excited!

In the past, when Cameron was planning to make a new movie, only some people in the small circle knew about it, and it did not attract much attention. But now it has immediately attracted the attention of all parties. Who makes Cameron so popular now, with the movie "The End"

"Terminator 2" has taken over hundreds of millions of dollars at the North American box office in just over a week, and is still growing rapidly. The global box office has been pushed up to 300 million U.S. dollars by media speculation. Compared with its investment, "Terminator 2"

It is like a money printing machine with full power, continuously providing Jade Bird Film Company and Kumho Film Company with huge and outrageous profits. With such a large amount of income, the jealous people don’t know how much it is.

!

I don’t know how many people are planning to invite Cameron to direct the next movie. If nothing else, the word Cameron is now a guarantee of box office! It’s just that “Terminator 2” has just been released for more than a week.

Time, everyone is thinking that Cameron has no time to care about the work of the next movie at this time, so everyone is waiting and preparing. Many film companies are screening the scripts in their hands, hoping to impress Cameron in one fell swoop.

heart.

It's not that no one is interested in "Jurassic Park", it's just that after several contacts with Michael Crichton, Michael Crichton avoided talking about the film adaptation rights of the work. In addition, "Jurassic Park"

》has not been officially put on the shelves for sale yet, so these people can only wait.

No one expected that Cameron would suddenly announce at the Japanese premiere of "Terminator 2" that the new movie had entered the preparation stage, and publicly announced that Japanese actress Mitsuri Uda would be the star of the new movie.

The first actor confirmed! It caught everyone off guard! For a time, I don’t know how many movie company bosses in Hollywood took action, let alone how many male and female stars were moved by the news!

Now that Cameron has announced this news, there is no need for Jade Bird Film Company and Kumho Film Company to be secretive anymore. They soon announced that the new movie will still be jointly invested and co-produced by the two companies, and the amount of filming funds has not yet been released.

It is certain, however, that the two companies will be ready to invest 100 million US dollars. For a time, the world's media couldn't help but exclaimed that from now on the "billion-dollar era" of movies has arrived!

"The era of billions! What a big deal!" An Yixin threw the newspaper on the desk and looked up at the ceiling, but his heart was surging!

When Kumho Film Company was established, An Yixin had already predicted that the Hong Kong film industry would enter a troubled period from now on! Kumho Film Company has a background, financial resources, and strength in Hong Kong. The only thing missing may be experience and

The foundation. But that can all be made up through time. But he never expected that only two or three years later, Kumho Film Company has become the leader in the Hong Kong film industry. Although it is not independent yet

It has made no film, but the films it co-produced are all masterpieces, especially "Terminator 2", which is the envy of everyone in the Hong Kong film industry!

Even if Kumho Film Company can only get half of the US$300 million box office, it is a level that is beyond the reach of all Hong Kong film companies. Hong Kong Star Film Company is already a first-class film company in the Hong Kong film industry. It produced a movie last year

The total box office of dozens of movies added together is only a few hundred million Hong Kong dollars, which is just a fraction of others! How can this be compared? How can it be compared?

If it is an ordinary film company, even several other film companies that are as famous as Hong Kong stars, he can find a way to get a share of the pie. But for a company that has both Hong Kong capital and mainland capital, it can still compete with American films.

He didn't dare to touch the Kumho Film Company that the company cooperated with. The Guo family's influence in Hong Kong is extraordinary; Hong Kong is facing the return of China, and the Fang family's influence in the country will only be greater than him, not

It may be smaller than him; not to mention the Emerald Bird Film Company. Although it is not a first-class company in the United States, in Hong Kong, it is a behemoth.

Got it!

But if nothing is done, An Yixin is not willing to give in. Just thinking that Kumho Film Company's income from this movie may exceed 100 million US dollars, An Yixin feels like he is scratching his head.

It seems so uncomfortable. What is he doing to open a film company? It is not just such high-sounding nonsense as he claims to the outside world that he loves Hong Kong movies and is willing to contribute to the development and growth of Hong Kong movies. To put it bluntly, it is just for money! Seeing everyone

The wealth of pen is right in front of him, but he doesn't dare to reach out. For him, this feeling is too uncomfortable.

An Yixin also understands that Hong Kong's film market is too small. Over the years, if Hong Kong films had not opened up the film markets in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, it would have been absolutely impossible for Hong Kong films to develop solely relying on Hong Kong's own market.

It has reached this point today. However, Hollywood movies are becoming more and more influential in the world, and they are also tending to invade the Hong Kong film market. A "Terminator 2" will rob tens of millions or even millions from the Hong Kong film market.

With a box office of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, if Hollywood movies enter Hong Kong in large numbers in the future, what will be the future of Hong Kong movies?

Thinking of this, An Yi couldn't help but shuddered. After all, the income of Hong Kong people is limited, and the money that can be spent on movie consumption is not unlimited. So some movies have made a lot of money, and others have made a lot of money.

Movies will inevitably be affected. At that time, can Hong Kong Star Film Company still be its own cash cow?

"Since you can't fight, you have to find a way to make the other party one of your own!" An Yixin murmured in a low voice. Having been in the world for so many years, he naturally understands that one more friend is better than one more enemy! Since he could not compete with Kumho Film Company, An Yixin's mind naturally turned to how to bring the two parties closer.

If it is an ally with Kumho Film Company, it will also benefit Hong Kong Star Film Company a lot.

First of all, Fang Mingyuan's scripts can be given priority. An Yi is convinced by that young man. In the field of script creation, he must be the boss of Hong Kong script writers. There are so many scripts, involving multiple genres, and they are actually completed. , both of which have received great market response, making the film company a huge profit. An Yixin even doubted that if ten of his scripts were filmed in one year, he would monopolize the top ten box office in Hong Kong. Come.

Secondly, with the help of Kumho Film Company, the channels to enter the inland market will undoubtedly be smoother in the future. The inland film market is where all Hong Kong filmmakers covet. With a huge population of nearly one billion, even if only one One in ten people has the need to watch movies, which is more than ten times the total population of Hong Kong. The income is naturally even more considerable.

Thirdly, with the help of Kumho Film Company, maybe one day, Hong Kong Star Film Company can also co-produce movies with Americans. The North American market is even more exciting than the inland market! The box office is 20 million US dollars. , for many American movies, it can be called a failure, but if it is a Hong Kong movie, it is already worthy of their carnival! Moreover, in this way, it is also a rare development for the famous stars under the company Chance!

Fourth, for An Yixin himself, the accumulation of wealth will also be greatly accelerated. Earning US dollars is always more exciting than earning Hong Kong dollars!

However, how to close the relationship with Kumho Film Company is another problem that faces An Yixin. Although An Yixin’s underworld background cannot be said to be known to everyone in Hong Kong, it is not What a secret. It is not easy for the Guo family, Yu family, and Fang family to be willing to get close to the notorious one. But fortunately, in the past few days, I sold Yu Qiuxia a favor, and finally got a good deal. the beginning of.

"Fang Mingyuan, Fang Mingyuan!" An Yixin repeated softly, he was the key to the matter.

Zheng Yutong, the head of Chow Tai Fook Jewelery and Gold Shop, visited the Guo family. Although An Yixin did not know what happened in the Guo family at that time, the matter was very intriguing. Zheng Yutong would not have left early. No, Fang Mingyuan went to Guo's house immediately after shopping at Chow Tai Fook store, which forced him to connect the two.

"Guo family, Yu family, Zheng family, Uncle Zhan, Cheng Long!" Unknowingly, Fang Mingyuan's connections in Hong Kong cannot be underestimated!
