Chapter 294: Gangsters make a movie! Dragon Head is the director! Is Brother Wen crazy?
"Split the cinema chain equally?"
"You really know how to make fun of me. There are only three cinema chains in Hong Kong Island."
"Now both companies are in Chen Wen's hands. It's obvious that he is targeting Golden Harvest. It's good enough if we don't give him our Golden Harvest cinema chain. Will he let us share the world equally?"
Faced with He Guanchang's proposal, Zou Wenhuai at that time could no longer muster any interest.
The reason is simple. The film market in Hong Kong is already there, and Chen Wen has an absolute advantage.
There is no doubt about this.
Dividing Hong Kong Island's film market equally would indeed help Golden Harvest resolve its current crisis.
But where is the fourth cinema chain that would give Golden Harvest the opportunity to share the world with Chen Wen’s cinema chain?
This is even harder than climbing to the sky!
"Are you kidding? Wasn't it a joke when I ran away from Shaw with you?"
"But so what? What was just a joke has now become reality."
"Golden Harvest, which you and I founded, is doing well, but Shaw Brothers withdrew from the film market at this time."
After experiencing this series of critical blows, He Guanchang finally understood everything.
Instead of boiling the frog in warm water like this, it is better to have a life-and-death fight with Chen Wen.
There is only one result of the boiling frog in warm water, and that is that the entire Golden Harvest will have to hand over its theaters to others just like the theaters of the other two film companies.
But if we fight to the death, there might be a chance to revive Jiahe.
"Don't tell me you're going to set up a new cinema chain?"
"Let me tell you, Lei Juekun and Chen Wen are both in the real estate business. They are the most qualified to start a new cinema chain, but neither of them has done so."
"Even if you and I come from a film background and understand the film market, we can never bankrupt ourselves by doing this."
Seeing He Guanchang has become like this.
Zou Wenhuai stepped forward to persuade them immediately.
There is no doubt that after this business war, Zou Wenhuai has thoroughly witnessed Chen Wen's strength.
If they continue to work diligently on content creation, they may be able to keep the Golden Harvest Cinemas chain.
But if I continue to argue with Chen Wen and start a new cinema chain at this time? That would be another matter!
After all, a new cinema chain needs at least several hundred million to start, and they simply don’t have the capital.
If you have to do it, you can only sell everything you have.
"What are you thinking? No matter how stupid I am, I am not this stupid."
"We don't have to establish a fourth theater to split the theater chain. Wouldn't it be better to just split half of it from him?"
"Has it been a while since you and I visited Uncle Six?"
He Guanchang drank his tea slowly and spoke directly to Zou Wenhuai in front of him.
There is no doubt that even though the market has become like this, He Guanchang still has no intention of backing down.
According to the information that Uncle Shao had previously told Jiahe.
Uncle Shaw did sell his shares in Shaw Cinemas to the Lei family, but in order to continue making a living from the film industry, he only gave up half of his shares.
The remaining 50% is still in the hands of Uncle Shao Liu.
In other words, as long as He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai can get Uncle Shao Liu to give up the 50% stake.
The cinema chain owned by Golden Harvest is truly on par with Chen Wen’s new Hung Hsing Cinema.
This way, at least there’s no need to worry about the theaters anymore.
……
Almost at the same time.
At New Hongxing Films, Chen Wen and Jimmy are both in charge of the office.
"Brother Wen, don't tell me, I thought these people couldn't survive without Huang Baiming."
"I really didn't expect that the movie 'New Police Story' would have such a high box office."
"I am looking forward to the future film market more and more."
Jimmy just flattered Chen Wen.
As Jimmy said, before these film production companies were established, no one believed that this decision would work.
Not to mention the actors under them, even the film production companies themselves do not believe that they can stand on their own.
After all, they used to put all their efforts into making a movie.
And now if they are allowed to fend for themselves, can they still fight against their old boss?
This was really beyond their expectations!
But the result was that the movie "New Police Story" created a box office miracle as soon as it was released.
The box office performance is better than the previous "A Better Tomorrow".
It has to be said that all these prove that Chen Wen made the right decision.
"It goes without saying."
"Since ancient times, there have been countless generals who have led troops, but most of them are just leading troops. How many of them can become generals?"
"I don't like to bring a bunch of useless people. I just want to bring generals, like you!"
Chen Wen was smoking a cigar while talking to Jimmy in front of him.
His meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Around him, there are more than just a few filmmakers who can stand on their own.
Even Jimmy, who he brought with him, was also a general.
In other words, Jimmy was still working for Chen Wen at that time, and his abilities had not yet been demonstrated.
But once Jimmy is separated from Chen Wen, he will definitely be a good boss with vision.
Not to mention anything else, the acquisition of HK Electric alone speaks for itself.
Although it has not been completely acquired, Li Chaoren has been kicked out due to Jimmy's operation.
The acquisition is a done deal!
The acquisition of HK Electric is just a matter of time.
"So, Brother Wen asked these gangsters under his command to personally participate in the filming of the movie in order to let them become actors as well?"
"And I seem to have heard that even Brother Kun and Situ Haonan have become on-set directors."
"Could it be that even they need to be trained?"
Jimmy spoke directly to Chen Wen in front of him with a hint of sarcasm.
Judging from the content of his speech alone, Chen Wen has done countless things during this period.
Not only did he let the gangsters under his command start playing roles.
Even Liang Kun and Situ Haonan, who came from a society and were currently doing orange powder business, were put to use.
This was completely beyond Jimmy's and many other people's expectations.
Could it be that this is also what Brother Wen said, that they should be trained to become generals?
"I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well take them over and save on my filming costs. Isn't that great?"
"As for Brother Kun and Situ Haonan, they are also generals, of course."
"But this will be more like a business."
Chen Wen looked very interested and spoke while looking at Ji Mi in front of him.
That's right! Jimmy as an adult around people.
It can be said that Chen Wen has never hidden any secrets from Jimmy, and this time is no exception.
Even the confidants he cultivated around him could tell the truth.
However, this statement instantly caught Jimmy's attention: "Business?"
