"The movie company's side is really too angry" Fang Yihua couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she saw Lin Jing's side laughing continuously and becoming a lively group. Once upon a time, Shaw Brothers Film Company also had such glory, but now, all we can see is the decline of the sun. "Miss Fang, are you okay?" Xiao Li, the assistant on the side, saw that Fang Yihua's face was not pretty, so he quickly came over and asked in a low voice. "It's okay." Fang Yihua's face returned to normal and she said two words. "The appetite of Time and Space Film Studio is too big at this time, and it is not afraid of choking to death. It dares to attract the attention of our theaters. Isn't it just that they have made three movies with higher box office." Xiao Li, who is observing the words, said with a smile. Said angrily. "Silence, what kind of place is this? Haven't you seen it? And what does it mean to have made three movies with higher box office, and it's so easy to make a movie worth 20 million yuan? Besides, you can discuss the theater chain. Really!" Fang Yihua's face darkened and she said seriously after hearing the assistant's explicit words. Although Xiao Li heard that Fang Yihua's tone was a little harsh, she had followed Fang Yihua for several years and knew that although Miss Fang spoke harshly, she was not actually angry. At that moment, she looked both ways and saw that everyone was moving toward Lin Jing. No one noticed, so she stuck out her tongue and said, "Yes, Miss Fang taught you a lesson." "Humph!" Fang Yihua He snorted softly and said, "If our film company had talents like Lin Jing, we might not be able to make such good movies, but it's a pity." "That's true, this girl Lin Jing really doesn't know how her head grew. , He has accomplished so many great things at such a young age." Hearing the regret in Fang Yihua's mouth, Xiao Li said, "But although our TVB is a TV station, under your management, Miss Fang. There are so many talented people, although Lin Jing is very good, after all, she is just one person, how can she compare with us." When Fang Yihua heard the assistant's words, a smile appeared on her lips. "Ms. Lin, congratulations, congratulations!" Although tea was used instead of wine, because there were so many people toasting, Lin Jing, who had drank a lot of tea, had a sour taste in her mouth when she heard a familiar voice and looked up. When he left, it was Mo Ziqi who was holding a glass of red wine and smiling. In Lin Jing's memory, Mo Ziqi has always been serious and unsmiling. Even in front of his boss, he rarely smiles. Most of the time, he seems to be thinking about problems, his face as dark as water. But now, he was smiling like a fox who had stolen a chicken, which was really beyond Lin Jing's expectation. "I didn't expect that Mr. Mo also learned to joke." Lin Jing said, picking up the teacup and raising it towards Mo Ziqi. "People feel refreshed when happy events happen. I am also a layman. Of course I have to smile. Besides, how can a person keep a sullen face all the time? It's too tiring." After saying this, Mo Ziqi raised his glass and took a sip. Others nearby saw that Lin Jing and Mo Ziqi seemed to have something to say, so they moved their seats and simply walked towards Wang Jing and his group who were laughing on the other side. "How was the talk?" Lin Jing asked after Mo Ziqi sat down. Mo Ziqi understood that what Lin Jing was asking was about the Shaw Brothers theater chain when he was in contact with Fang Yihua just now. After pondering for a moment, he seemed to be considering his words. After more than ten seconds, he said, "I didn't refuse." "No?" Lin Jing frowned slightly. "After all, Mr. Shao Yifu is still in charge now." Mo Ziqi replied. It is not Fang Yihua's decision to make the decision regarding Shaw Brothers Cinemas, even though she already has a behind-the-scenes status at TVB. The final decision was made by Shao Yifu, who retired behind the scenes. "Well, I know this, otherwise it wouldn't be a test." Lin Jing nodded and said. If a film production company does not have its own distribution channels, it can only be controlled by others. No matter how good the development seems, it is just a kingdom built on the beach. Once there is any turmoil on the side of the distributor, it will easily collapse. Just like the current film companies in Hong Kong, the three largest ones, Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and New Arts City, all have their own theater chains and complete distribution channels behind them. There is no need to worry about distributors getting stuck in the middle and strangulation. neck. Other film production companies, because they do not have the support of their own theater chains, can only rely on these three majors and rely on others, and have never been able to grow. Currently, Time and Space Film Studio is also facing such a problem. The reason why Time and Space Film Company has been able to make such profits by producing the three films "If the Wine Dry Sells Nothing", "Happy Ghost" and "Dao Ma Dan" is, on the one hand, because Lin Jing wrote good scripts for Jiahe and established a good relationship. On the other hand, these three are all very good movies, so they can guarantee a good schedule and a long enough release time. ? ?Otherwise, movies produced by ordinary film production companies cannot be released during the prime time period, or they may be released during the prime time period but have limited release time. The screenings will be squeezed out at any time, and the box office share may only be a small amount. low ratio. Borrowing Golden Harvest¡¯s theatrical release will not be a long-term solution, because the market is so big, and the more benefits you get, the less benefits others will get. As the Time and Space Film Studio grows, it threatens Jiahe. Jiahe will definitely make regulations that are not conducive to the Time and Space Film Studio. When New Art City first emerged, Golden Harvest had done something like this. They teamed up with Shaw Brothers to suppress New Art City, but they failed in the end. Therefore, if the problem of distribution channels is not solved as soon as possible, Time and Space Film Studio will not be able to become a film production company like Golden Harvest and New Art City. At most, it will be a second-rate company like Siyuan Film Company. A few days ago, Cai Songlin took the initiative to come to the door and reached a cooperation plan with Scholar Company in Taiwan, solving the issue of distribution and screening in Taiwan. Now it is Hong Kong¡¯s turn. "Now we can only wait for Mr. Shao Yifu's reply." Mo Ziqi said with a slight sigh. This situation where the initiative was in the hands of others made him feel very bad. "You shouldn't have to wait too long. Shaw Brothers Film Company will definitely not be able to survive." Lin Jing said that although Shaw Brothers Film Company only announced the suspension of production in 1985, it actually began to reduce production in the second half of last year. Perhaps due to the butterfly effect, this year's production cuts have become even more severe. Perhaps by the end of the year, Shao Yifu will not be able to hold on. "I just want to rent Shaw Cinemas, which requires a lot of funds. What I'm worried about is We don¡¯t have enough funds.¡± Lin Jing¡¯s rate of making money is already terrifying for most people, but due to time constraints, the funds she has now are compared to something like a theater chain that requires huge funds to build. It's still too little. "Our company's current working capital is more than 20 million. "Happy Ghost" and "Dao Ma Dan" have not yet been released in Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Malaysia. When they are released, we should still be able to recover a few million, then there will be About 30 million." After hearing Lin Jing talk about the funding issue, Mo Ziqi calculated the accounts of Time and Space Film Company and said, "The remaining working capital of the company will be enough to make two movies. Twenty-five million, if the rental period is not too long, we should be able to rent at least ten cinemas. If possible, we can spend a small amount of money to acquire some small cinemas, and that will be enough. Lin Jing nodded and said. (After more than ten days of cultivation, the update will be resumed, and it should stabilize until the book is completed!) (To be continued.)
