Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhou Xingsheng acquired a film company in the United States, renamed it "DreamWorks", and announced a plan to invest no less than 100 million US dollars in the filming of "Titanic". After it was spread to Hong Kong, it also caused a huge sensation and repercussions in the industry.  .

    Needless to say, everyone within ATV was shocked by the boss¡¯s courage and financial resources.

    Zhou Xingsheng¡¯s courage is that he actually entered Hollywood in the United States, and his financial resources are that he invests no less than 100 million US dollars to shoot a movie.

    Thinking about it this way, there is no doubt that staying at ATV will have a great future and money, and you will naturally work harder.

    Of course, there is also envy and jealousy within ATV regarding Xu Xiaoming being transferred to the United States by Zhou Xingsheng to manage DreamWorks Film Company, and Li Jiaxin being promoted by Zhou Xingsheng to enter Hollywood to star in blockbuster movies worth over 100 million U.S. dollars.

    Xu Xiaoming was envied by the administrative staff of ATV, especially Li Zhuanglie and the managers of its various departments. Not everyone had the opportunity to enter Hollywood in the United States, and he was in charge of a film company as soon as he entered, and each movie he made cost over 100 million US dollars.  The investment is more than enough to buy the entire ATV.

    Li Jiaxin is envied by the artists within ATV. How many artists want to hit Hollywood but fail. Even Cheng Long only encountered a little trouble under Zhou Xingsheng's "Prophet".  But Li Jiaxin is good, she just has a beautiful face and a curvy figure, but she entered Hollywood less than three years after her debut, and directly served as the female lead in "Titanic". How unbelievable is this  opportunity?

    Of the two, Xu Xiaoming is better. After all, he is a senior figure in the industry and was one of the two giants of ATV before. Being transferred to Hollywood now has no problems with his qualifications and ability, and there is nothing to criticize.

    ¡°Only Li Jiaxin, not to mention her qualifications, is very beautiful.  What's more important is that the boss Zhou Xingsheng is a man.

    As a result, rumors gradually began to spread within ATV about Li Jiaxin. It was rumored that Li Jiaxin was being taken care of by Zhou Xingsheng, which is why she was so highly praised by Zhou Xingsheng.  Even the fairness of Li Jiaxin's winning of the Asian sister championship and Zhou Xingsheng's character were questioned. People said that Zhou Xingsheng must have planned to sleep with Li Jiaxin when he saw her, so Li Jiaxin had a smooth journey.  won the Asian sister championship.

    Zhou Xingsheng hated these rumors deeply, because his reputation was damaged, and most importantly, it made Liang Xiangning feel uncomfortable.  Otherwise, I wouldn't have called him that day.  You know, before this, no matter how long he had been in the mainland, even if Liang Xiangning was pregnant, Liang Xiangning would not call him, for fear of disturbing him.

    In addition to ATV, many senior people in the industry also have their own interpretations of Zhou Xingsheng's actions in the United States.

    When Shao Daheng of TVB was interviewed by the media, he highly praised the positive impact of Zhou Xingsheng's move on the Hong Kong film industry, calling him a pioneer and path-breaker for Hong Kong films.  Affirmed Zhou Xingsheng's actions.  As for investing US$100 million to shoot the shipwreck film "Titanic", Shao Daheng was also positive and praised it as a good attempt, even if it failed.  I believe it will be helpful for Hong Kong films to enter the Hollywood market.

    Of course, this is just Shao Daheng's polite remarks in front of the media. At home and within the TVB, Shao Daheng remains silent.

    Whether it¡¯s Wang Tianlin or the sound of the flute.  When Ms. Fang asked him about Zhou Xingsheng¡¯s actions, Shao Daheng mostly remained silent.

    In the end, more people asked.  Shao Daheng expressed his views at a small high-level meeting of the company, saying: "If it were other people, such as Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Lei Juekun, etc., I would definitely not be optimistic about it. It's not about acquiring an American company.  It's actually not difficult to establish a film company. The difficult thing is how to establish a foothold in Hollywood. What I don't like is a shipwreck movie like "Titanic" that costs 100 million US dollars. However, this person is Zhou Xingsheng, so this is  That's another matter. So far, Zhou Xingsheng has never failed to invest in movies, just once or twice. He actually made more than a dozen movies in a row, all of which were hits. This makes me not pay attention to him.  I was shocked because this is no longer something an ordinary person can achieve.¡±

    Wang Tianlin sighed, nodded in agreement, and echoed: "Yes, his vision is really amazing. No one knows what the outcome of this shipwreck film will be after it is released. However, if he doesn't do it this time  If he fails, the global box office of "Titanic" will have to exceed at least 300 million US dollars, otherwise he will lose money."

    "Three hundred million U.S. dollars?" Xiao Sheng swallowed hard and sighed: "It's better to compare goods than to compare people to death. This is absolutely true. Zhou Xingsheng is good at business, and he is also good at investing in movies.  It can easily cost hundreds of millions of dollars.??One billion Hong Kong dollars is really incomparable.  "

    This topic was so dull that the entire conference room couldn't help but fall into an atmosphere of oppressive silence.

    At Jiahe Film Company, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Cheng Long and others were also discussing the matter.

    Like Shao Daheng, the three of them all expressed their affirmation in interviews with the media, praising Zhou Xingsheng as a pioneer and leader of Hong Kong movies, and their rhetoric was almost exactly the same.

    But at this moment in the conference room, the words of the three people were naturally different from what they said during the interview.

    Including Cheng Long, everyone was full of excitement about Zhou Xingsheng's series of actions in the United States.

    Zou Wenhuai was even more contemptuous: "I didn't expect that Zhou Xingsheng told us earlier about acquiring American film companies. We thought he was going to acquire big film companies such as MGM and Columbia. Who knew he actually acquired a small film company? What's more?  Why not cooperate directly with our Jiahe!"

    Zou Wenhuai has the capital to despise and say this, because Golden Harvest¡¯s distribution network and cinema lines are all over the world, and the distribution network and cinema lines in the United States are not worse than the current DreamWorks, or even better.

    ??Previously, Chow Wenhuai was keenly aware of the crisis in Hong Kong movies and approached Zhou Xingsheng to seek common development.  At that time, Zhou Xingsheng proposed a plan to enter Hollywood in the United States, complete everything from filming to distribution in the United States, penetrate into the interior of U.S. imperialism, and then slowly complete the cultural penetration.  At that time, Zou Wenhuai thought that Zhou Xingsheng's idea was to acquire a large film company, such as MGM, Warner Bros., Fox and other giant film companies, so he hesitated, so in the end the plan was shelved.

    Compared with film giants such as MGM and Fox, Golden Harvest can only be considered a short man on a global scale in terms of distribution network and cinema lines. Moreover, Golden Harvest is still thin and short. The two parties are not rivals of the same level at all.  .

    What Zou Wenhuai didn¡¯t expect was that Zhou Xingsheng and his plan were put on hold, while Zhou Xingsheng himself turned around and ran to the United States to acquire a small film company.

    The first time he heard the news, Zou Wenhuai still didn¡¯t believe it.

    When the news was confirmed to be true, Zou Wenhuai began to look down upon Zhou Xingsheng. It turns out that you are not that courageous.

    Zou Wenhuai didn¡¯t know that it wasn¡¯t that Zhou Xingsheng lacked courage, but that he didn¡¯t want to fight against American capital alone, because it was unrealistic and uneconomical.

    Zhou Xingsheng also wants to boldly acquire film giants such as MGM and Fox, but firstly, he does not have any foundation in the United States, and it is really unwise to want to acquire giant film companies such as MGM; secondly, he himself  His capital has not reached the level where he can squander billions of dollars wantonly, and he still needs to continue to accumulate.

    What Zhou Xingsheng really wants is to form a group to go to Hollywood and organize Hong Kong's richest people to form a group to attack Hollywood.

    However, even if he dominates the Asian entertainment industry, is 100% accurate in film investment, and launches blockbusters like "The Prophet" that have swept the global film market, he cannot convince Hong Kong's rich people to agree and support it.  His plan to form a group to attack Hollywood was too risky.

    Under this situation, Zhou Xingsheng could only acquire a small company and let it go, and then shoot one blockbuster Hollywood blockbuster after another to achieve results, and finally he could complete his plan to form a group.

    Zou Wenhuai didn't know this, so he was sneering at this moment.

    "It seems he wants to go it alone!" He Guanchang smoked silently.

    "It shouldn't be right? I don't think he is that kind of person!" Cheng Long said hesitantly: "What's more, his strength alone is not enough to gain a foothold in Hollywood."

    Zou Wenhuai sneered: "How is this impossible? It's nothing more than Hezhong Lianheng. As long as it is profitable, those Hollywood capital tycoons will not blink an eye even if they sell the United States."

    He Guanchang said: "Unless he makes those people feel a serious threat, it is not impossible. Looking at Zhou Xingsheng's vision for investing in movies, every one is a hit and he has never failed. This time he dared  With an investment of no less than 100 million US dollars to shoot "Titanic," who can guarantee that it will end up losing money? Who can guarantee that he will not make such big-budget Hollywood blockbusters one after another in the future?"

    When he said this, Zou Wenhuai had to nod and admit: "That's not wrong. Zhou Xingsheng does have this ability."

    Cheng Long asked: "Then what should we do in the future? Should we talk to Zhou Xingsheng? Or?"

    Since "The Prophet", Cheng Long has gradually replaced Bruce Lee and become a new generation of international Chinese action superstars. Jiahe has also had to appear again and again.??More weight to keep him.  Up to now, Cheng Long has owned part of Jiahe's shares and has become one of the few people who can speak out. His opinions have to be considered on many matters.

    Hearing his question, Zou Wenhuai frowned and thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "It's not urgent. We'll wait and see after the results of his "Titanic" are released."

    Cheng Long nodded silently.

    What they didn¡¯t expect was that the filming of ¡°Titanic¡± took more than four years, which almost caused them to collapse.  (To be continued)
