Chapter 543 I want to be an ally
The Japanese premiere of "Terminator 2" was a success, especially what Cameron said at the premiere, which caused an uproar in Japan and even the world.
In Japan, Uda Kori has become the focus of national attention, and is also regarded as a leader among the new generation of Japanese actresses. The starlight is unparalleled for a time.
As we all know, the international influence of Japanese films is very small, and its market is mainly in China. Not many can enter Hong Kong, Taiwan, or even Southeast Asian markets.Its status in Asia is not as good as that of Hong Kong films, or even that of Chinese films. The absence of a real, international movie star who can represent Japan is also an unspeakable pain in the Japanese entertainment industry for many years.The appearance of Uda Mitsuri and Cameron's attitude really gave the Japanese a glimmer of hope.
So some Japanese even shouted that Uda Mitsuri will become Japan's first real international female movie star
If it is said that Uda Mitsuri's influence is limited to Japan, then Cameron's new film is officially announced to start shooting, but its influence is sweeping the whole world.For a time, movie fans all over the world were excited
Before Cameron was planning to make a new movie, only some people in the small circle knew about it, and it didn't attract much attention, but now it immediately attracted attention from all sides.Who makes Cameron so prosperous now, a "Terminator 2" has already swept hundreds of millions of dollars at the North American box office in just over a week, and it is still making great strides.The global box office was pushed up to 2 million US dollars by media speculation.Compared with its investment, "Terminator [-]" is like a money printing machine with full power, continuously providing Halcyon Films and Kumho Films with huge and outrageous profits.Such a large sum of income, jealous people do not know how much
I don't know how many people are planning to invite Cameron to direct the next movie. Not to mention anything else, now the word Cameron is the guarantee of the box office. It's just that "Terminator 2" has just been released for more than a week , everyone is thinking that Cameron is not in the mood to care about the work of the next film at this time, so everyone is watching and preparing. Many film companies are screening the scripts in their hands, hoping to impress Cameron in one fell swoop. Heart.
It's not that no one is interested in "Jurassic Park", but they have contacted Michael Crichton several times, and Michael Crichton has always avoided talking about the film adaptation rights of the work.Plus "Jurassic Park" hasn't officially hit the shelves yet, so these people can only wait.
No one expected that Cameron would suddenly announce at the Japanese premiere of "Terminator 2" that the new movie had entered the preparatory stage, and announced in public that Japanese actress Mitsuri Uda would be the director of the new movie. The first confirmed actor caught everyone off guard for a while. I don’t know how many film company bosses in Hollywood took the case, and I don’t know how many male and female stars are moved by hearing it.
Now that Cameron has announced the news, there is no need for Halcyon Films and Kumho Films to hide it anymore, and they will soon announce that the new film will still be co-invested and co-produced by the two, and the amount of funds for the filming has not yet been announced. Sure, however, the two companies will be ready for a $[-] million investment.For a time, the world's media couldn't help exclaiming that the "billion-dollar era" of movies has come.
"The era of [-] million yuan is really a big deal." An Yixin threw the newspaper on the desk and looked up at the ceiling, but his heart was full of waves.
When Kumho Film Company was established, An Yixin had already foreseen that the Hong Kong film industry would enter into troubled times. In Hong Kong, Kumho Film Company has a background, financial resources, and strength. The only thing it lacks is experience and foundation. .But that can all be made up with time.But he never imagined that after only two or three years, Kumho Film Company has become the leader of the Hong Kong film industry.Although it has not made any films independently, the films it has co-produced are all high-quality goods, especially "Terminator 2", which makes everyone in the Hong Kong film industry envious
Even if Kumho Films can only get half of the US$[-] million box office, that would be a level that all Hong Kong film companies can't match.Hong Kong Star Film Company is already a first-class film company in the Hong Kong film industry. Last year, dozens of films were produced, and the total box office is only a few hundred million Hong Kong dollars, which is only a fraction of others. How can this be compared?How to compare?
If it is an ordinary film company, even if it is a few other film companies that are as famous as Hong Kong stars, he can find a way to get a share of it, but for those who have both Hong Kong capital and mainland capital, they can also cooperate with American film companies. Kumho Film Company, which the company cooperates with, he dare not move any thoughts.The influence of the Guo family in Hong Kong is no small matter; Hong Kong is facing return, and the influence of the Fang family in China will only be greater than him, and it cannot be smaller than him; not to mention the Jade Bird Film Company, although It is not a first-class company in the United States, but in Hong Kong, it is a behemoth
However, if he does nothing, An Yixin will not be reconciled. As long as he thinks that Kumho Films' revenue from this movie may exceed [-] million U.S. dollars, An Yixin will feel his heart scratching his lungs. It seems uncomfortable.What does he start a film company for?It’s not the kind of high-sounding nonsense that I love Hong Kong movies and is willing to contribute to the development and growth of Hong Kong movies as I declared to the outside world. To put it bluntly, it’s for money, seeing a lot of wealth in front of me, but not daring to reach out. For him, this feeling is really too uncomfortable.
An Yixin also understands that Hong Kong's film market is too small. Over the years, if Hong Kong films hadn't opened up the film markets in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan, it would have been absolutely impossible for Hong Kong films to develop if only relying on Hong Kong's own market to this point.However, Hollywood movies are now becoming more and more influential in the world, and there is also a tendency to invade the Hong Kong film market. A "Terminator 2" will plunder tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars at the box office from the Hong Kong film market. If Hollywood films enter Hong Kong on a large scale in the future, what will be the future of Hong Kong films?
Thinking of this, An Yi couldn't help shivering violently.After all, the income of Hong Kong people is limited, and the money that can be spent on movie consumption is not unlimited. If some movies make a lot of money, other movies will inevitably be affected.At that time, can the Hong Kong Star Film Company still be its own cash cow?
"Since you can't fight, then you have to find a way to turn the opponent into your own," An Yixin murmured in a low voice.Having been in the arena for so many years, he naturally understands that one more friend is better than one more enemy. Since he can't compete with Kumho Film Company, An Yixin's thoughts naturally turn to how to bring the relationship between the two sides closer. Some.
If it is an ally with Kumho Films, it will be of great benefit to Hong Kong Star Films.
First of all, Fang Mingyuan's scripts can be given priority. An Yixin has convinced that young man. In the field of script creation, he must be the boss of Hong Kong drama writers. There are so many scripts involving multiple genres, and the filming is actually completed. , all of which have been well received by the market, making the film company a huge profit.An Yixin even doubted that if ten of his scripts were filmed in a year, then the top ten box office in Hong Kong would be monopolized by him.
Secondly, with the help of Kumho Films, the channel to enter the inland market will undoubtedly be smoother in the future. The inland film market is where all Hong Kong filmmakers covet.With a huge population of nearly one billion, even if only one-tenth of the people have the need to watch movies, that is more than ten times the total population of Hong Kong, and the income is naturally even more impressive.
Again, with the help of Kumho Films, maybe one day, Hong Kong Star Films can also co-produce movies with Americans. The North American market has a box office of 2000 million US dollars more exciting than the inland market. For many American films, it can be called a failure, but if it is a Hong Kong film, it is already worth their carnival. Moreover, in this way, it is also a rare development opportunity for the famous stars of the company
Fourth, for An Yixin himself, the speed of wealth accumulation will also be greatly accelerated.Earning US dollars is always more exciting than earning Hong Kong dollars
However, how to get closer to Kumho Film Company is another problem that confronts An Yixin.Although An Yixin's underworld background is not well known in Hong Kong, it is not a secret.It is not easy for the Guo family, Yu family, and Fang family to be willing to get close to their notorious self.But fortunately, in the past few days, I have sold Yu Qiuxia's favor, and finally got off to a good start.
"Fang Mingyuan, Fang Mingyuan" An Yixin repeated softly, he was the key to the matter.
Zheng Yutong, the head of Chow Tai Fook Jewelery & Gold Co., had visited Guo's house. Although An Yixin didn't know what happened in Guo's house at that time, it was very intriguing.Zheng Yutong didn't go early or late, but went to Guo's house immediately after Fang Mingyuan went shopping in Chow Tai Fook store, which forced him to connect the two.
"The Guo family, the Yu family, the Zheng family, Uncle Zhan, Cheng Long" Before he knew it, Fang Mingyuan's connections in Hong Kong could not be underestimated
