- The simple double-decker Star Ferry runs on Victoria Harbour, carrying 70,000 passengers every day to and from Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula.
? The more than 100-year-old clock tower in Tsim Sha Tsui still stands, looking at the Hong Kong Cultural Center and the Avenue of Stars. On the Avenue of Stars, the statues of Bruce Lee and Anita Mui were crowded with tourists.
In the open-air restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel, the conversation continued.
"After 2000, the mainland gradually opened up to Hong Kong filmmakers, and a large number of practitioners went north. We have strength and experience, and we are willing to make progress together with our mainland counterparts.
But you know, the collision of two things will always be accompanied by friction, and it is also limited to policies. On the one hand, we are adapting to the mainland's review system and substituting Hong Kong films into the mainland; on the other hand, we are looking for partners for in-depth cooperation to achieve a win-win situation.
We first took a fancy to Hua Yi and Zhang Yimou. "
""
In an instant, a series of playlists flashed through Zhuang Zhou's mind:
"Heroes", "House of Flying Daggers", "Golden Armor in the City", "Three Guns", "Thirteen Beauties of Jinling" - Anle Films participated.
"A World Without Thieves", "Assembly" and "If You Are the One" - Media Asia participated.
"Baby Project" and "Tangshan Earthquake" - Emperor.
"The two places jointly invest, use the most influential stars to make big productions, this model was very effective in the early days.
However, when the mainland film market became more and more popular and mainland capital entered one after another, Director Zhang quickly cut it off with us. Huayi accepted the capital injection from Ali and Goose Factory. "Tai‡å" cost 30 million yuan and won 1.2 billion at the box office!
It means that the environment has changed.
Correspondingly, we changed our strategy and increased our deep bond with Bona. Bona started out by distributing Hong Kong films, and has a closer relationship with us.
After more than 10 years of water testing, we have explored a path that is most suitable for the mainland market. Especially in recent years, the main theme has risen, and we have achieved a good win-win situation. "
""
"Operation Red Sea", "Chinese Captain", "Chinese Doctor", "Heroes of Fire", "Taking Tiger Mountain by Outsmart", "Operation Mekong" and so on flashed through Zhuang Zhou's mind.
"Hong Kong director + mainland star + big production, this model is very successful. Moreover, the Hong Kong star is old and has no influence. We have also changed our partners from companies to individuals."
Zhang Jiazhen smiled, and spit out a name: "Huang Xiaoming, we were the first to test the water. Mr. Zhuang is a smart man, so he must know it well."
"Naturally clear."
Huang Jiaozhu started his career with TV dramas and raised his status with movies.
"The Banquet", "Sharpshooter", "The Wind", "Ip Man 2", "Great Shanghai", "Chinese Partner", "Taiping Wheel", "Heroes of Fire", why does he use these resources?
Because he is Mrs. Xiang's godson, even the Taiwanese media was bragging about it, claiming to be the number one student in the mainland, and that was all for the sake of Hong Kong capital!
"The film and television industry is changing fast, and we old guys have struggled to keep up.
There is a lot of hostility towards us from the outside world, ok, we keep a low profile, and Hong Kong companies rarely appear in the credit list. Mainland giants monopolize the industry, ok, we have in-depth cooperation with Ali.
Mainland audiences need fresh and capable faces, ok, we have won the little yellow duck.
All of this is not about what we want to do. In today's environment, we can't make any waves. It's still the same sentence, in order to beg for food. "
Hetui!
If it wasn't for Zhuang Zhou's deep understanding, he would really believe it.
Remember: Hong Kong entertainment has declined, but Hong Kong capital has not!
Do you think that if you hate a few Hong Kong directors and Hong Kong actors, you can suppress them? Innocent!
A random example: Zhang Jiazhen once opened a brokerage company, which had two shareholders, one was Tomson and the other was PCCW.
PCCW is the largest communication service provider in Hong Kong, and the boss is Li Zekai.
What concept?
Can you imagine China Mobile entering the entertainment industry?
For another example, one of the shareholders of the company owned by Yang Tianbao and sister Kim is Media Asia Media, and one of the shareholders of Media Asia Media is Yunfeng Fund.
Who founded Yunfeng Fund? One of the business leaders of the two places is Ma Fuhao.
Big capital invests in big entertainment companies, and big entertainment companies invest in small companies. Small companies are usually run by celebrities, and there are many other stars under their umbrella.
The partnership between the two places penetrates layer by layer, firmly controlling the entertainment circle and entertainment stocks.
So why?
Is entertainment really that profitable?
One is to earn, and the other is to wash.
Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan capitals are not separated. There is a gaming company in Macau who has set up an entertainment company and has made many films with Bona. Last year, the boss of this company had an accident, and the vice president of Bona suddenly jumped off the building.
This trick was played very well in the 1970s and 1980s.
The film is deep, deep here I won't say much.
And not only in terms of capital penetration, we didn't even have the right to judge in the past few years.
Just like the golden horse, the golden statue, and the golden rooster. In the past, the golden statue was the first, and the golden horse was second. Later, the golden horse was the first, and the golden statue and the golden rooster were tied.
It's like a Chinese film, it's an honor to win the Golden Horse, and it almost won't win anything else. Later, the Golden Horse Award was overturned and the mainland banned it. It should have been a good opportunity for the Golden Rooster Award to improve its status, but I couldn't live up to it.
It's still that bird!
""
Speaking of this moment, in Zhuang Zhou's eyes, Zhang Jiazhen does not represent him personally, but represents the Hong Kong entertainment company behind it, and the further Hong Kong capital, like a behemoth watching.
"When there is no successor, we old guys should also go to the ground, and we don't have to put on a face and do things everywhere like we are doing now."
Zhang Jiazhen stubbed out his cigarette, and said with a smile, "I'm not here for "Red Tide" and Huang Yu this time, but only for you, Mr. Zhuang.
Bona's performance has been poor in recent years, and his production ideas are somewhat outdated. You have company and potential, think about it, I sincerely hope you can become our close partner. "
Having said that, he looked at his watch: "Excuse me, I still have something to do, so I'm here today?"
"Well, no more."
Zhuang Zhou watched Zhang Jiazhen leave, his stomach growled with hunger, but he didn't leave. He ordered some pastries and ate them with the sea view of Victoria Harbour.
While eating and eating, the phone rang.
"Are you still at the Peninsula Hotel?"
"Um."
"wait for me."
Not long after, Yang Tianbao ran up panting, didn't even sit down, and asked anxiously: "How is it?"
"How about what?"
"Stop pretending, what Mr. Zhang talked to you about."
"Yo, you seem very familiar?"
"Be serious!"
Yang Tianbao sat down and said: "Why are you pretending to be innocent? Although you have only been in the industry for a few years, you should have heard of it, right?"
"That's true. Some things, outsiders think it's a big deal, but insiders are used to it."
Not surprising!
Just like we people who eat melons think, is it difficult to be a normal person who does not evade taxes, do not take drugs, do not surrogate, do not rape, and do not betray the country?
Eh! It's really difficult for others!
Yang Tianbao is so eager, because if Zhuang Zhou agrees, the two of them will completely become people on the same boat¡ªjust like the leader He Huang.
But Zhuang Zhou was thinking about something else.
From the very beginning, he planned to carefully weave a big basket and then invite you into the urn. Zhang Jiazhen appeared just in time.
"I haven't thought about it yet, I need to think about it."
He said so.
"That's right, after all, it's such a big deal"
Yang Tianbao looked at him, and sincerely persuaded him: "Don't think that they are down and out. Their strength is hidden under the water. Although being a partner is a bit restrictive, it will bring you many benefits."
"Well, I'll think about it seriously, okay, it's time to go."
Zhuang Zhou got up after paying the bill, stretched his waist, and took another look at the beautiful Victoria Harbour.
(besides¡¡)
