Chapter 524 Making Friends
"Zou Wenhuai announced his retirement in Hong Kong, and Jiahe shares were transferred to Tianmei Entertainment;"
"Tianmei Media successfully acquired Golden Harvest and became the first private entertainment company to be listed in the Mainland;"
"Hong Kong's Golden Harvest Pictures changed hands to mainland China's Tianmei Entertainment and became the largest shareholder..."
That afternoon, a bunch of reports came out, and the headlines on the entertainment pages were that Jiahe had changed hands!
Jiahe!
Starting with Bruce Lee, the Hui brothers, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, etc., including Li Lien...
Golden Harvest was the dominant film company in Hong Kong back then.
Moreover, Golden Harvest has gained a reputation overseas. Almost everywhere there are Chinese people, there are Golden Harvest movies.
Was it actually acquired by Tianmei Media?
This is so shocking...
Not only are netizens discussing it, but there are also discussions within the circle.
Purge to Carol to the acquisition of Golden Harvest.
Shen Xudong is no longer planting a flag or setting up a new mountain, he is trying to be the overlord!
Well, most of the reports in the Hong Kong media are: "The aircraft carrier of the mainland entertainment industry saves the declining Hong Kong movies!"
It’s like this. Golden Harvest hasn’t released a film for several years, and it’s all thanks to Shen Xudong’s blessing – Shen Xudong is the producer of “Cruel Streets”, “Hurricane Rescue” and “Glory of the Tang Dynasty”!
Moreover, Shen Xudong was already the second shareholder of Jiahe before. Wrinkle Wenhuai wanted to retire and Tianmei Entertainment took over. It was the most ideal and common sense thing.
No joke, according to Hong Kong media reports, Tianmei Media is one of the leading entertainment companies in Mainland China, comparable to Huayi and Bona.
Committed to building a full-industry chain cultural enterprise that integrates artist management, script creation, film and television marketing, and distribution.
You must know that at this time, Wang Jianlin was still talking about Wanda Group holding more than 10 million square meters of property area - becoming Asia's leading real estate company.
There really aren’t many companies in the Mainland that can compete with Tianmei Entertainment!
Of course, there are also those who are not optimistic about it. A large number of filmmakers who dislike mainland China have written articles. The central idea is: a mainland bumpkin has actually acquired Hong Kong's Legend Film Company!
Various laments: "This is the shame of Hong Kong movies and the beginning of the decadence of Hong Kong movies. Shen Xudong doesn't understand Hong Kong movies at all. Wrinkle Wenhuai handed Jiahe to him, which means that Jiahe is completely finished!"
"Hong Kong movies have lost their Hong Kong flavor..."
But the feedback from the secondary market is very real!
Zhong Lifang, who took over as CEO of Golden Harvest, publicly announced that Golden Harvest will produce at least three movies every year.
And even the playlist is ready.
"Hurricane Rescue 2", directed by: Zheng Baorui, starring Wu Jing, Tony Jaa, Zhang Jing, Louis Koo;
"The Raid", directed by Mai Zishan, produced by Xu Ke; starring: Donnie Yen, Zhaolong Zhaolong;
"The Lonely Agent", directed by Lin Chaoxian and starring Zhang Jing;
"Crime City", directed by Sammo Hung, starring Huang Bo, Sammo Hung and Wu Jing;
"Hot Detective", directed by Tang Jili, starring: Jackie Chan, Chen Xiao...
In addition, there are also projects that have been completed and are ready to be released, such as "The Evil Dead", "New World", "The Old Man"...
No one has done this before using the PPT version of the movie list. The impact was that Jiahe's stock price surged more than five times after the review, and the price per share rose to more than one yuan. Moreover, in the next few days, Jiahe's stock continued to rise, rising to more than two yuan...
It also raised the market value to nearly HK$400 million...
Well, the market value of Jiahe was HK$78 million when Shen Xudong took over.
After Zhong Lifang arrived in Hong Kong, Shen Xudong poached Liang Fengying and Shi Nansheng, and then left it alone!
Shi Nansheng, everyone knows that Liang Fengying is also very famous. She used to work as a planner and producer in Zedong Film and Television, and later joined Meiya Entertainment, and later served as the director of Dadi Culture Film and Television Department. She is Lin Chaoxian’s queen producer...
There are two major producers, and they are professional filmmakers coordinating the operation of Jiahe. Shen Xudong is not professional in this thing, so there is nothing wrong with him!
By the way, as the chairman of Jiahe's board of directors, I originally wanted to meet Cucumber Li and buy back his equity in Jiahe - Li Jiacheng was the third shareholder of Jiahe. When Lin Jianyue maliciously acquired Jiahe, he accepted Zou Wenhuai's invitation to act as a white knight to protect Jiahe. …
After overthinking, Li Ka-shing transferred the shares to PCCW, his son Richard Li.
Li Zekai is an investment wizard. In 1999, he bought 20% of Tengxun shares for US$2.2 million. In just two years, he made more than five times the profit, and then... he sold it!
Even if Shen Xudong wants to buy back his shares, it is unlikely...
People are not short of money!
Moreover, Li Zekai has always been interested in the entertainment industry.
The great Toyotomi Brokerage Company, Yingke Telecom was a shareholder, Zhang Jiazhen became the CEO, and later Star City Entertainment (Yang Ziqiong invested) Yingke Telecom also got involved.
Of course, it is normal for Yang Ziqiong's company to have a role in PCTC. After all, Liang Luoshi was introduced by Yang Ziqiong!
…
After staying in Hong Kong for half a month, Shen Xudong did nothing. He posted a blog with the theme of doing a good job in Jiahe...
"When I was a child, I watched the video. As soon as I saw the four squares appear and heard the music of 'dang, dang, dang, dang', I knew the film must be good!"
"Jiahe is a great company. I feel honored to be able to take over Jiahe and Mr. Wan Wenhuai's ideals. Of course, I am also very stressed."
After posting my blog, I went to make friends.
After all, at this stage, Golden Harvest has to make a living in the Hong Kong film industry, so it will inevitably have to deal with major producers.
For example, Emperor, Media Asia, American Asia and the like.
I mainly chat with them, play golf, have a drink, have a meal, etc., and occasionally talk about cooperation...
Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but the most important thing is human relations.
Moreover, the current Hong Kong circle is no longer as brave as it once was.
One thing is quite embarrassing. They bring their beautiful actresses to gatherings every time. If you are like Emperor, you have Cheng Xiyi, Yu Hongting and the like. Media Asia also has Tian Pujun and Gigi Leung, and Meiya has Lee Manyun. When it comes to Shen Xudong, either Alone or with Zhong Lifang...
We have to do as the Romans do when we are in the country!
If you have a company, why not set up an artist management department?
Therefore, Shen Xudong approached Zhong Lifeng and suggested: "...Should we sign one or two female artists to support our appearance?"
Zhong Lifang shook her head directly: "...Where are the suitable female artists in Hong Kong?"
"Those young models are quite popular recently..."
Shen Xudong's intention is very obvious. He wants to poach a few female models from Feng Shang International...
Yang Tianbao, Xiong Deling, and Wen Yongshan all made their debuts...
Zhong Lifang asked directly: "Do you want to sign a contract or do something else?"
Of course it’s dual-purpose…
Shen Xudong could not express his position directly, but asked seriously: "You can't go to Christine Yang, right? How old is she!"
"... Christine Yang develops in the mainland... If you really want to be an artist manager, why not sign a few mainland actors... By the way, you want to integrate into the Hong Kong circle. You can also be a judge for next year's Miss Hong Kong or something like that!"
