Dreams of the Fragrant River - Chapter 1008

: One Thousand 【Bitter Winter】

Remember [ ] in a second to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

The Hong Kong film market performed very well at the end of 1995 and the beginning of 1996. However, after the Spring Festival and the Lunar New Year, the film off-season in March, April and May made practitioners feel very worried.

In addition to the outbreak of Ang Lee’s “Horse Racing” in June, the Hong Kong films in the past few months are “Hudumen” and “Adventure King”. As for other normal films, none of them have even exceeded 8 million at the box office. The abnormal one sold more than 8 million, but it was a 3. level film “X Futon” produced by Wang Jing and directed by Qian Wenqi.

Well, Shu Qi finally made her official debut, and she was so popular that she released the full luo photo.

I heard that Ni Jiao likes it very much. Not only did he buy Shu Qi’s full set of photos, but he also collected the movie videotape, VCD, and DVD of “X Futon”. This is the rhythm of die-hard fans.

In the summer season, the star-studded “big production” does not seem to be able to impress the audience.

Zhang Guorong, Anita Mui, Yuan Yongyi, Liu Jialing, Zhou Huajian, Zhang Daming, Chen Xiaochun, Zeng Zhiwei, Li Qihong and other stars joined the “Golden Branches and Jade Leaves 2”, the publicity was overwhelming, but the box office was only 20.91 million.

Although this film won the box office championship for two consecutive weeks in the summer season, it is a pity that there are too many stars and too much investment to recover the production cost.

It is a pity that it is difficult to see results at the overseas box office in the short term. Two years ago, UFO’s three consecutive films suffered serious losses, and investors also lost confidence in it. As the bosses, Zeng Zhiwei, Chen Kexin and Zhong Zhen, the exuberant creative spirit of the original group began to gradually die out. Although UFO has not officially announced its dissolution, it is impossible to continue making films in the short term.

Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Kexin want to return to Oriental DreamWorks, but unfortunately, the most important thing in Hong Kong now is to make movies. The competition within DreamWorks is fierce, and there is no place for them at all. They can only pick up some small-budget films everywhere to live.

In the end, they still discussed an idea, using the death of Teresa Teng last year as a selling point, and wrote a script called “Sweet Honey”, which finally attracted investment from Jiahe. However, although the production team of this film came from UFO, the copyright of the film can only be owned by Jiahe, and Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Kexin were completely reduced to wage earners.

Also unlucky is Huang Baiming, a former man of Hong Kong film industry, who has been cooking cold rice in recent years, and the company has continued to lose money. Xincheng Cinemas, which he co-founded, finally announced its disbandment (several major cinemas were merged into Xinbao Cinemas) after the summer films were released. At the same time, Huang Baiming’s Xincheng Films was also announced to close down.

The film boss Huang Baiming has died, leaving only the screenwriter Huang Baiming and the actor Huang Baiming.

At the same time, the dissolution of Xincheng Cinemas marked the entry of the Hong Kong cinema industry into a cold winter period, and then the new generation of cinemas (formerly known as Yonggao Cinemas) also disappeared silently.

As a result, there are only four cinema chains left in Hong Kong, namely Golden Harvest, Xinbao, Jinsheng and Dongfang. Among them, the Jiahe Cinema is owned by Zou Wenhuai, the Oriental Cinema is owned by Kang Jianfei, and the Xinbao and Jinsheng Cinemas are both owned by Chen Rongmei.

After the summer season ended, Chen Rongmei had to make adjustments because the theater business was really difficult. He merged Jinsheng into Xinbao and abolished redundant small theaters to reverse the loss-making business situation.

This time, the three pillars finally stand, and there are only three cinema companies in Hong Kong, namely Golden Harvest, Xinbao and Dongfang.

The bleak situation in the cinema industry has made Hong Kong filmmakers very pessimistic.

Hong Kong will return next year, and the Xiang brothers are also starting to find a way out.

In the summer of this year, Yongsheng and DreamWorks jointly invested in the film “New Shanghai Beach”. In addition to Zhang Guorong and Liu Dehua, the main actors also specially invited Tranquility, which has recently become popular in mainland China.

Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng intend to gradually move closer to the central government, and even deliberately weaken the Yongsheng Film Company, instead focusing on the “China Star Group”.

Chinese star, Chinese heart… The meaning is self-evident, and it has already been publicly expressed.

China Star Group was listed in the summer of this year, becoming the second Hong Kong film group to be listed after Jiahe, which owns all the copyrights of works of Yongsheng Company.

I have to say that the Xiang brothers made a good move. After the return of Hong Kong next year, the stock prices of many companies, including Golden Harvest, plummeted, but the shares of China Star skyrocketed, rising from 82 yuan to 206 yuan within a month, an increase of 151.85%.

This is the benefit of pretending to be a grandson.

…

Just when the Hong Kong film industry is about to enter the cold winter, Luo Zhaohui, a real estate prodigy, is also facing a career cold winter.

Dongfanghong Group is holding an interim board meeting.

Since this group is called Dongfanghong, it must be pro-mainland.

Because it has no choice but to kiss, Dongfanghong’s main business is Chinese herbal medicines, including proprietary Chinese medicines and Chinese herbal medicines, which need to be purchased in large quantities from the mainland every year.

Luo Zhaohui made his fortune through real estate speculation, and under the guidance of Da Liu, he entered the stock market and became a billionaire. He also knows that opportunism is not a long-term solution, so he acquired Dongfanghong Group hostilely two years ago, became the helm of the group, and began to develop into the industrial field.

Now most of Luo Zhaohui’s property is in Dongfanghong Group, which has become the foundation of his career.

Recently, Dongfanghong has been in trouble. Two consecutive batches of medicinal materials were detained when they exited the mainland, saying that some prohibited items were found.

“What do the people below eat! Even a trivial matter is worth holding a board of directors?” Luo Zhaohui had reason to be angry. He had just made a small profit in the stock market and was celebrating with his new star girlfriend Sun Jiajun on a yacht.

There were three other female stars who went out to sea on the yacht together. Luo Zhaohui was playing a crazy 5P battle at sea. He swallowed two blue pills in a row, and he didn’t even want to vent for five or six hours.

But at this moment, the secretary made more than ten consecutive calls, asking him to hurry back to the company to attend the interim board meeting. Until Luo Zhaohui came to the conference room, he was still so hard it hurt.

One shareholder said: “I went to the mainland a few days ago and I have already inquired about it. This time the group’s medicinal materials were detained because a certain shareholder offended someone, and the medicinal materials were maliciously hidden.”

“Who offended someone? Go and solve it yourself!” Luo Zhaohui said, patting the table.

The other shareholders and representatives of directors seemed to have passed their anger ahead of time. At this moment, they all looked at Luo Zhaohui with a sneer. Although no one spoke ~www.readwn.com~, the situation was self-evident.

“Am I offending people?” Luo Zhaohui said with a smile.

The previous shareholder said: “When I invited my mainland friends to dinner, he only revealed one word.”

“What word?” Luo Zhaohui asked.

“Kang,” said the shareholder.

“Kang Jianfei?” Luo Zhaohui understood in an instant, and turned to anger, “Did he take his mother, and I didn’t succeed, do you need to be so ruthless?”

Under the pressure of other board members, Luo Zhaohui called Weng Hong several times, saying that he wanted to invite Mr. Kang Jianfei to dinner, but the other party always informed him in a good manner: Sorry, Mr. Kang is not available!

The next morning, the Hong Kong Financial Daily published a headline: Dongfanghong Group was suspected of drug trafficking, and two batches of medicinal materials had been detained indefinitely.

The news came out that Dongfanghong Group’s stock price plummeted, and Luo Zhaohui’s net worth shrunk by one-fifth within two hours. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
