Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

Knowing that Zeng Zhiwei and Xu Cunbing have settled their suspicions, Huang Yulang immediately decided to invest money in Zeng Zhiwei and Zeng Zhiwei to form a partnership to form a film company.

Two days later, Zeng Zhiwei recruited Tan Yonglin and Teddy Robin to set up the "Good Friends Film Company".

In addition, Good Friends Films has also become a strategic partner with scholars in Taiwan and Debao Cinemas, which suffers from no films to be released.

Zeng Zhiwei, Tan Yonglin, Teddy Robin and Huang Yulang behind them all hesitated to become a strategic partner with Debao Cinemas—after all, the ban order issued by Xu Cun is still in effect.

Later, after repeated discussions with the heads of Good Friends Film Company, they finally decided to temporarily form a strategic partnership with Debao Cinemas.

Good Friends Films made this decision for several reasons:

First, the conditions offered by Debao, whose film sources were scarce, were so superior that it was difficult for the directors of the good friend film company to refuse.

Second, the banning order issued by Xu Cun was aimed at Cen Jianxun and Zhang Jianyan, not against Debao. Several directors of Good Friends Film Company believed that as long as they did not get involved with Cen Jianxun and Zhang Jianyan, it would not be considered a violation of Xu Cun’s Kill order.

Third, the leaders of the Good Friends Film Company have also formulated a backup strategy - once there is a trouble, the Good Friends Film Company will immediately abandon the Debao Cinemas and switch to the Liberty Cinemas.

Fourth, the film company cooperating with Debao Cinemas is not just their good friend film company, but also the Yongsheng Film Company of the Xiang Brothers.

...

Yongsheng Film Company.

Xiang Huasheng looked at Wang Yingxiang, the boss of Longxiang Film Company, and said darkly: "Old Wang, you are a senior in the way, don't you know that stepping on the line will not end well?"

Whether it is in the Taiwan film industry or on the Taiwan road, Wang Yingxiang is a leading figure. Therefore, absolutely no one dared to call Wang Yingxiang "Old Wang" in Taiwan, and no one dared to talk to Wang Yingxiang like that.

pity--

This place is Xiangjiang, not Taiwan, and Xiang Huasheng thinks he has the right - some time ago, Wang Yingxiang registered a film production company called "Longtai Film Company" in Xiangjiang, and produced a film to test the waters As a result, Long Tai's "Love in My Rival" collided with Yongsheng's "Big and Small", and "Love in My Rival" and "Big and Big" grabbed the DreamWorks theaters. The matter was a big one at the time, but Xu Cun later personally split the DreamWorks theaters into two and lent half of the theaters to Yongsheng and Longtai, and the matter was settled. However, that incident has subsided, but the Xiang brothers have not forgotten the hatred of Wang Yingxiang for grabbing theaters with them.

Wang Yingxiang said with a smile: "Eating alone is called 'crossing the line', and making money together is called 'win-win'."

Xiang Huasheng pressed his glasses, and said, "Old Wang, you have something to say in your words, hurry up, let's talk if we can, and go our separate ways if we can't!"

Wang Yingxiang is not the kind of person who likes to beat around the bush, so he said directly: "Relying on the "God of Gamblers" directed by Xu Cun for you Yongsheng, you Yongsheng can be considered to have established an overseas distribution channel, but this distribution channel of your Yongsheng can only be regarded as The second-tier distribution channels cannot sell the movies you have worked so hard for at a good price. Why don't we cooperate? I will invest and be responsible for the distribution in Taiwan and Nanyang. You only need to pay money and people. As for the distribution in Xiangjiang , Golden Princess Cinemas and Debao Cinemas are willing to jointly screen all the films we cooperate with."

Hearing Wang Yingxiang's proposal, Xiang Huasheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Longxiang, Xinyicheng and Debao are also strategic partners?"

Wang Yingxiang said very bachelorly: "Don't you know that the movies in New Art City have always been distributed by Longxiang in Taiwan?"

Xiang Huasheng asked again, "What about Debao?"

Wang Yingxiang continued to answer in a very bachelor way: "I just signed the agency contract with Pan Disheng, and Debao's overseas distribution rights will also belong to Longxiang in the future."

Xiang Huasheng said noncommittally: "Longxiang has a lot of appetite. He has acted as an agent for the movies of New Art City and Debao, and he still wants to get our Yongsheng idea!"

Wang Yingxiang said with a smile: "Participants will always be mobs. Only by working together to form an alliance can we conduct online screenings, jointly control ticket prices, and earn more money."

Xiang Huasheng said meaningfully: "The alliance must have a leader, right?"

Wang Yingxiang retreated and said, "How about having Yongsheng as the leader?"

As soon as Wang Yingxiang said this, Xiang Huasheng was speechless—whether Xinyicheng, Debao, or Yongsheng had to rely on the ability to eat both black and white in Taiwan Bend and hold the seventh piece of Taiwan Bend Long Xiang of the theater chain, so Yongsheng could not replace Long Xiang as the leader of this alliance anyway.

People on the road are not only talking about benefits, but also about face. How can Wang Yingxiang, who wants to cooperate with Xiang Huasheng, prevent Xiang Huasheng from coming to Taiwan?

Wang Yingxiang added: "I heard that Yongsheng is going to release a cult movie called "Magic Emerald"? Let's start our cooperation with it, how about it?"——The so-called cult movie refers to the unique shooting method , strange themes, slanted swords, unusual styles, strong personal opinions, and controversial movies, to put it simply and bluntly, they are non-mainstream movies.

As Wang Yingxiang said, Yongsheng also has overseas distribution channels, but Yongsheng's overseas distribution channels can only be regarded as second-rate or even third-rate distribution channels, and the middle has to be peeled off layer by layer. Most importantly, the box office potential of Yongsheng's movies cannot be released. , so that Yongsheng could not earn the money he should have earned. Therefore, Xiang Huasheng's heart is inclined to cooperate with Wang Yingxiang.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Xiang Huasheng said: "With whom is cooperation not cooperation? As long as we can make money for Yongsheng, we Yongsheng must be the most steadfast member of this alliance!"

...

Leaving Yongsheng Film Company, Wang Yingxiang looked back at Yongsheng's brand and sighed: "Hey! If Xu Cun can enter the Taiwan Film Market, I will work hard to cooperate with you mobs? Damn politics!"

...

At the same time as good friends and Yongsheng, there are also:

McDonald's film studio - McDonald's has welcomed a powerful partner, Xiao Ruoyuan, who is known as the "Xiao Talent". Since then, McDonald's Bear Film Studio, which has been silent for a long time under Golden Harvest, is finally about to embark on the road of rapid development.

Youhe Film Company——Different from the previous life, because Zhang Jianyan was banned by Xu Cun, in this life, Chen You did not form Eryou Film Company with Zhang Jianyan, but founded Youhe Film Company independently, becoming one of Golden Harvest’s satellite companies .

Li Xiuxian's Universal Pictures Co., Ltd.——Li Xiuxian, who had been tepid for many years under the DreamWorks Film Company, established Universal Pictures Co., Ltd. with the support of Lei Juekun, and embarked on a self-financing path. path of.

Writer-director-production company—Just hearing the name, you can tell that the director-director-production company is not aimed at filming for the mass market. In fact, Cen Kin-hsun originally intended to be an independent production company specializing in writer's films. Of course, the reason why Cen Jianxun did this was also a helpless move. He helped Pan Disheng take charge of Debao for more than two years, and caused Pan Disheng to lose 100 to 200 million Hong Kong dollars. How could he have the nerve to harm Pan Disheng again? In addition, Cen Jianxun, who has always regarded himself as an artist, also wanted to make some literary films, so Cen Jianxun and his close friend Chen Guanzhong formed a director and production company, under the name of Debao, and they were responsible for their own profits and losses.

All in all, from the middle of 1986, a large number of film companies emerged in Xiangjiang, and most of these film companies were backed by the Taiwanese consortium.
