Chapter 1220 Handover Between the Old and the New

Shao Yifu is a tycoon, this is something that no one in the Hong Kong entertainment circle will deny.

In his previous life, after shutting down Shaw Brothers, which had been brilliant for decades, he was still able to dominate television for decades. This is really not something that ordinary people can do.

You know, when the decision was made to close Shaw Brothers Films and fully enter the television industry, Shao Yifu was already in his seventies.

Ordinary people at this age would have long since retired, but Shao Yifu was full of innovative courage and once again created a second spring for his career!

Not only him, but also Li Chaoren, Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji and others are like this. They are still working hard at the age of eighty or ninety. This is very worthy of Yin Jun's learning.

Even if he couldn't stand the narrow-mindedness, selfishness and lack of progress of these wealthy people in Xiangjiang, Yin Jun had to admire their hard work.

Only their kind of work can keep the family prosperous, unlike those rich people abroad who slack off immediately after success and disappear in the blink of an eye.

Today's Shao Yifu is also so decisive in killing.

Although the first "Detective Chocolate" has not yet been released, Shao Yifu publicly announced at this time that Shaw Brothers will transfer its theater chain to Kirin Film Company and will have in-depth discussions with Kirin Film Company. cooperation to fully support the distribution of Qilin Films in Asia.

After all, Shaw Brothers Film Company has been working hard for decades and has deep roots in Southeast Asia. It also has deep connections in Japan and South Korea.

When Yin Jun makes movies, he is never afraid of having too many partners or that they will share the profits. He is just afraid that his movies will not receive better output.

Since my goal is to spread Chinese culture with the spread of movies, naturally the more people see it, the better, and the more people accept it, the better.

Making money now is only secondary. When the market is consolidated, then you can make money however you want?

For example, Wu Jing has been acting in movies for more than 20 years, but his combined income is less than one-tenth of his "Wolf Warrior 2".

Can you say that this is the credit of "Wolf Warrior 2"?

And what about "Wolf Warrior 1"?

And what about the fame and foundation that Wu Jing has built over the past few decades?

Without these, just one "Wolf Warrior 2" can get a box office of 5.6 billion?

Do not make jokes!

Yin Jun knows very well what it means to lose a big deal for a small sum, so he is not in a hurry. As long as the theater chain is willing to cooperate with Qilin Movies, he will agree, and then the specific negotiation of the share will be secondary.

Things are not going well for Shaw Brothers Cinemas right now.

Two years ago, although Shaw Brothers Cinemas was not as good as the emerging Golden Harvest Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas, they still had 17 cinemas, including superstar theaters like Lee Stage, and Shaw Brothers itself had 6 cinemas.

Now in 1982, the Shaw Brothers theater chain has been reduced to 15.

Nowadays, the film industry in Hong Kong is booming. Film companies such as Kirin, Golden Harvest, and New Art City produce about 100 or 20 films a year. Plus Shaw Brothers and other small and medium-sized film companies, there are at least 150 films. of movies produced.

Then there are Hollywood, Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese movies that often come to Xiangjiang to be screened. Therefore, at least 250 movies are actually broadcast in Xiangjiang a year, and this year it is estimated that the number will reach 300.

With so many movies being released, major theater chains are constantly expanding, and new theaters are constantly opening for business. Shaw Brothers Cinemas can actually buck the trend and reduce its size. This really cannot be said to be anyone else's problem.

If your film production is not good, it’s your film company’s problem. The theater chain is open to do business.

Especially in recent years, Shaw Brothers' movies have been unable to meet the screening needs of Shaw Brothers Cinemas. Like the other two major cinemas, they also have to open to the outside world.

However, other theater chains were making huge profits, and only your Shaw Brothers theater chain was losing money. No wonder Shao Yifu was dissatisfied with this, and finally transferred it to Yin Jun.

However, Shao Yifu is also a calculating person.

Because of the three movies, he promised not to let his male and female stars star in pornographic movies and make a lot of money. However, he and Yin Jun did not have any friendship in the theater, so he chose to sublet.

He transferred the contracts of the nine franchised theater chains to Yin Jun.

Then he also leased his 6 movie theaters to Qilin Film Company.

Such an approach made Yu Zheng feel quite dumbfounded.

But since Yin Jun agreed, and the theaters of Shaw Brothers Cinemas were all mature and stable old brands, it was a good thing to take over and develop them, so it was not a blessing, so she actively went through the transfer procedures.

As soon as the news came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Everyone knew that Shaw Brothers would no longer produce Shaw Brothers movies, but they never expected that Shaw Brothers would also transfer the Shaw Brothers theater chain.

This is the rhythm of not being in the film industry at all!

Everyone is lamenting the end of an era, but on the other hand, they are lamenting the beginning of a new era.

Qilin Film Company.

This company has only been established for more than a year, but it has won the attention of the entire Hong Kong and even the entire Asian entertainment industry on the first day of its establishment.

Because it is Yin Jun's film company.

With a talented gold medal screenwriter like Yin Jun sitting in charge, and with the abundant resources of the Kirin Group, it will definitely not lack strength or resources.

The result was just as everyone expected.

Last year, Kirin Film Company's first movie - "Speed" was released. Not only did it set off a craze across Asia, it even went as far as Hollywood, beating Americans' favorite Superman-themed "Superman 2". He raised his head and quickly established his position in the world.

In the following days, they filmed movies such as "Prison" and "Good Boys", all of which were wonderful, with good box office and reputation, and quickly replaced Golden Harvest Company's position in the hearts of the world.

Produced by Qilin, it must be a high-quality product.

Such slogans have long been resounding.

In fact, to be honest, some of the movies produced by Kirin Films are not that good, but Yin Jun's scripts have such strong reputation and box office that they obviously cover up these shortcomings.

And Yu Zheng is very smart. She doesn't make bad movies at all, or follow the trend and plagiarize ideas. She only makes interesting movies, which makes people feel reliable to a large extent.

In addition, Qilin Film also has one of its biggest allies, which is Disney and United Artists Film Company in the United States.

Compared with Kirin Films, which is rooted in Asia, Disney and United Artists Films target the global market.

Whether it's "The Shawshank Redemption", or "The Lion King", or "The Terminator"...these movies require word-of-mouth reputation, technology, and emotion. They have everything you want to see.

This greatly stimulated the people's sense of pride in Xiangjiang.

have a look!

This is the ability of our Junshao, this is the company controlled by our Xiangjiang people, and this is the achievements of our Xiangjiang company around the world!

Shengshi Entertainment.

In the prosperous times, entertainment is the most eye-catching thing.

Ordinary people may not know the winners of the Nobel Prize or Fields Medal, but generally they will know the names and works of those big stars.

Nowadays, Yin Jun has created so many classics and launched so many stars, and his reputation has long been known to the world.

For people in Xiangjiang, this is a matter of pride.

Although Yin Jun is from the mainland and traveled from the mainland, he made his fortune in Xiangjiang, so he is a Xiangjiang native, and his achievements are the pride of Xiangjiang!

Of course, Yin Jun has never denied this.

But what he emphasizes more is that he is from Xiangjiang and also a Chinese.

As Yin Jun's fame and wealth increase, when he speaks these words, only those lackeys who are determined to fall to Britain will criticize Yin Jun.

However, Yin Jun owns the most powerful media group in Hong Kong.

The newspaper with the largest circulation in Xiangjiang is owned by Yin Jun. He also has a satellite TV station serving all Asia.

Hu Xian, the queen of the newspaper industry, is his partner, and the other two of the three major TV stations are also working together with him...

You said that under such circumstances, how could it be possible to outdo Yin Jun in terms of public opinion?

This is still a competition among newspapers, magazines and media groups in Hong Kong. If it comes to entertainment, no group that speaks out can be better than Yin Jun, not even a hair of Yin Jun's hair.

Because in Xiangjiang's entertainment circle, almost all are Yin Jun's allies.

Shaw Brothers has Yin Jun's script, Golden Harvest has Yin Jun's script, Golden Princess has Yin Jun's script, ATV also has Yin Jun's script...

After such a long list, almost all big companies with names have business dealings with Yin Jun. How could they leave so much money without making any profit, and follow the heckles and go against Yin Jun? ?

It doesn’t make sense!

…

Now that Yin Jun has reached a higher level, and the Shaw Brothers theater chain has been given to Kirin Film Company, the last shortcoming of Kirin Film Company in Hong Kong has been made up, and it has become the real number one in Hong Kong. No company can compare.

In fact, this is also a factor that only targets the Hong Kong film industry.

Overseas, Disney and United Artists Film Company have world-class distribution channels, ensuring that the works of Kirin Film Company can be well disseminated overseas.

This alone is enough to make people envious and jealous.

Of course, Shaw Brothers Cinema is not completely useless.

At least with this theater chain, Yin Jun can be regarded as fully taking advantage of Shaw Brothers' huge influence and distribution capabilities in Southeast Asia - Shaw Brothers doesn't even make movies. If it is distributed through theaters, you say they are not on the same page as Yin Jun. How can you make money to support yourself if you cooperate?

Some people even estimate that Shaw Brothers theater chains in Southeast Asia may be merged into the Kirin Theater chain in the near future.

By that time, Yin Jun has both Hollywood's distribution capabilities for Europe and the United States, and Kirin Cinema's radiating capabilities for the entire Asia. This will truly make him the world's number one giant!

Just thinking about it, thinking about what Yin Jun has achieved now and what he may achieve in the future, you can't help but admire him! !
