Chapter 263: The new Hongxing Cinema Chain came out of nowhere, and Golden Harvest was in a panic!
"The box office of A Better Tomorrow is very optimistic, but it's not something we can take over just because we are jealous."
"First there was 'Best Partner', and then there was 'A Better Tomorrow'. If this continues, even if we control more cinema chains, we will just be a runner-up."
"It's time to think about other responses."
I saw Zou Wenhuai in front of me was still obsessed with the movie "A Better Tomorrow".
He Guanchang directly pulled Zou Wenhuai from fantasy to reality.
You know, even though Golden Princess Cinemas has released a series of blockbuster films, the number of theaters in the chain is still small.
Since the movie "Best Partner" came out, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest jointly screened it.
It can be said that Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest together control 70% of the cinema chains in Hong Kong Island.
If we just wait for Golden Princess Cinemas to make a move, doesn't that mean 70% of the cinemas will be wasted?
"You don't want to fight in the ring like before, do you?"
"You and I know Shaw Brothers' filming style. They are all kung fu films."
"But the Golden Princess Cinema Chain is owned by New Hongxing Pictures, which has its own film company to support it. We are no match for it."
Zou Wenhuai said directly with an embarrassed look on his face.
There is no doubt that "A Better Tomorrow" directly won a box office of 1,600 million in just a few days before its release, which was a dimensionality reduction blow to Zou Wenhuai.
Even faced with the sudden emergence of the New Hongxing Film Company, he didn't know how to respond!
But He Guanchang's idea was completely different from Zou Wenhuai's. At that time, He Guanchang had already found a new path.
"Yes! You and I both came from Shaw Brothers, so of course we understand Shaw Brothers' filming style."
"In this case, if you want to understand the situation of New Hongxing Films, you still have to poach people from New Hongxing Films, or Princess Jin."
"New Hongxing Films not only has a cinema chain, but also a film company. But before the Golden Princess Cinema Chain was acquired by New Hongxing Films, it also had its own film company. What do you think they will think?"
Seeing that Zou Wenhuai finally got his thoughts back on track, He Guanchang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, then began to chat with Zou Wenhuai about the next arrangements.
There is no doubt that he has begun to target Golden Princess's partner company, Cinema City.
"That being said, the New Hongxing Cinema Line has become very popular in the entire industry just by virtue of this movie."
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that the absolute advantage of cinema chains lies in the hands of the New Hongxing Cinema Chain."
"Cinema City previously cooperated with Golden Princess Cinemas. There is no reason for them to jump ship at this time."
After hearing He Guanchang's analysis, Zou Wenhuai's face no longer had the indignation he had at the beginning. Instead, he followed He Guanchang's thoughts and thought of countermeasures.
New Hongxing Pictures now has two blockbuster film series in its hands, one is "Best Partner" and the other is "A Better Tomorrow".
Of the two, "A Better Tomorrow" was produced by the New Hung Hing Film Company, but the other "Best Partner" was produced by Cinema City.
In other words, although both films were released in the same theater chain, they were produced by two completely different companies.
And now, the replacement of personnel in the cinema midway will definitely have an impact on previous companies and cooperation.
This happened to be the perfect time for Golden Harvest to win over Cinema City.
"After talking for so long, you finally got to the point."
"As long as we can take over Xinyicheng, doesn't that mean we can use the original body of Xinhongxing Cinema Line to fight Xinhongxing?"
"It's impossible for the New Hongxing Cinema Line to keep producing blockbuster films, but we still have the help of Shaw Brothers. If we hold on to "Best Partner", are we still afraid that we won't be able to win back the box office?"
He Guanchang spoke directly to Zou Wenhuai in front of him with a smile on his face.
Just from the tone of his voice, one could tell that He Kuanchang had already decided to cooperate with Cinema City at that time.
In fact, this incident did not have much impact on the New Hongxing Cinema Line, but it gave Golden Harvest a good opportunity to obtain a blockbuster IP in the shortest possible time.
That’s right! It’s “Best Partner”. The first “Best Partner” has already earned 2,600 million at the box office. As long as this IP continues to develop, then “Best Partner 2” can be released directly.
In this way, relying on the IP of the movie "Best Partner", it will definitely be able to retain previous old fans. Even if it cannot get a box office of more than 2000 million, it can definitely avoid risks to the greatest extent.
Even with the cooperation of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, "Best Partner 2" has the possibility of surpassing "Best Partner 1".
This is He Guanchang’s little plan!
After all, it would be more accurate to say that rather than saying that He Guanchang was targeting Cinema City at this time, he was targeting the movie "Best Partner".
"Then let's take this opportunity to talk to Cinema City?"
Zou Wenhuai spoke directly in line with what He Guanchang said.
Hearing this, He Guanchang nodded with satisfaction.
……
XX Restaurant, in a private room.
"I don't know. Mr. Lei has withdrawn from the Golden Princess Cinema Line. Then won't we be restricted in every way like other film companies?"
Wong Pak Ming was talking to his two partners.
At that time, they had already realized that the Golden Princess Cinemas had been completely renamed New Hongxing, and Lei Juekun had already withdrawn from the Golden Princess Cinemas.
In this case, I believe everyone would be concerned about the future situation of this company.
The same is true for Wong Pak Ming and his other two partners.
"But I heard that the movie 'A Better Tomorrow' earned over 1600 million yuan at the box office right after it was released, and it's still rising. It's very powerful."
Mai Jia followed suit.
There is no doubt that the movie "A Better Tomorrow" is a real success.
Even professional filmmakers really can't find any faults with it.
"Mr. Chen was able to take over the Golden Princess Cinema from Mr. Lei, and he was able to make a movie that beat all the previous movies. His strength should not be underestimated!"
Another partner, Shi Tian, continued with a sad face: "I just hope that Mr. Chen invited us here today to discuss cooperation rather than to terminate the contract."
The waiting process was not long, but each of them felt very uneasy.
There is even a fear of the unknown.
After all, this is the Golden Princess Cinemas. After being acquired by the New Hongxing Cinemas, these people appeared in front of Chen Wen for the first time.
I'm sure anyone would be nervous.
What's more, Chen Wen holds the future of their small company in his hands.
"I'm so sorry, everyone. We're late because of the traffic jam!"
"I'm so embarrassed on our first meeting, please don't mind."
A voice came from the direction of the door.
When they saw the person coming, Huang Baiming and his companions stood up instantly and looked at each other with respect.
However, there was a hint of disbelief in that respectful look.
Obviously, the person who showed up was not Chen Wen, but someone else.
