Rebirth of the Tech Madman

On the stage, Tang Huan said softly, Don't completely lose your gentle oriental style, but Deng Lijun replied impatiently, In my old profession, I am definitely better than you. Professional, and got hit a bit.

Smiling and shaking his head, Tang Huan went straight back to the audience, greeted the others, and then walked towards the VIP passage.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, Mr. Tang, it's really not easy to meet you alone now.

Tang Huan looked back, and it turned out that Fang Yihua walked over quickly. He stopped and waited, and said, Maybe it's because I've been busy recently. However, if Ms. Fang has something to do, she should be able to come to DreamWorks. Solve it.

Fang Yihua, who murmured in his heart, You don't know how difficult Hu Yinmeng is, knew that Tang Huan's time was precious, so he explained the purpose of coming straight to the point, For some things, it is more convenient to talk to Mr. Tang directly, such as Shaw Cinemas is willing to cooperate in all aspects of the established DreamWorks Cinemas.”

Ms. Fang, let's talk in the lounge over there. Tang Huan stepped forward again, thinking in his heart, It seems that Run Run Shaw, who is in his 70s, is indeed old and exhausted. A tvb It is enough for him to be busy, and the possible future competition with DreamWorks Cinemas is too much for him, so this is a favor that comes to his door.

After sitting down, Tang Huan asked deeply, In addition to self-operation, the relationship between DreamWorks theaters is alliance and franchise. Which cooperation method does Ms. Fang choose?

Of course it's the same as the Anle Cinemas. If we join forces, otherwise we won't even have the chance to release the first round of movies. Fang Yihua laughed.

DreamWorks Cinemas operates in the form of a subsidiary of DreamWorks, which is relatively strong.

And with Jiang Zhiqiang's integration into the DreamWorks power system, all the previous precautions in the minds of the Jiang brothers have been eliminated, and the Anle Cinema Line, which the Jiang family belongs to, has joined the DreamWorks Cinema Line sincerely. And it can maintain its brand and characteristics, so as to focus on the operation of literary films and western films.

Jiang Zhiwen was even entrusted with the important task of being in charge of the operation of DreamWorks Cinemas.

Actually. This change can be regarded as the best choice under the pressure of the market situation.

The Xiangjiang No. 1 consortium's involvement in theaters must be completely crushed in terms of capital. The end of many theaters with average strength is almost predictable, and this is where the cruelty of market competition lies.

Jiang Zhiqiang knew that the only thing DreamWorks theaters lacked was ready-made industry experience, so he urged his brother Jiang Zhiwen to seize this opportunity quickly so that he could enjoy the shade under the big tree.

The result was just as Jiang Zhiqiang expected,

Tang Huan was very generous. Not only did the Anle Cinemas, who was the first to seek refuge, receive more preferential treatment, but Jiang Zhiwen was also included in the ranks of DreamWorks executives.

It has to be said that Tang Huan's courage not only stems from his own strong capital, but also benefits from his age of less than 30 years old.

As for Run Run Shaw, who is well versed in the rules of the market game, he decisively adopted a cooperative attitude while avoiding disadvantages. It may not be so weak.

I feel your sincerity, so what do you hope to get from me? With Tang Huan's current status, he spoke so bluntly. Not only does it not have a condescending sense of disobedience, but it reveals the frankness to business partners.

Fang Shiyu is so popular in Xiangjiang, with the channel that Mr. Tang has mastered, it will definitely promote Hollywood. Fang Yihua smiled and said it more reservedly.

Tang Huan pondered for a while, and said that it was as expected, Hollywood is so attractive, not only Zou Wenhuai has been trying various things, but even Run Run Shaw never forgets, perhaps this is why the two are worthy of being called For movie mogul's sake.

If Mr. Tang is willing, Shaw Cinemas is also happy to be acquired by DreamWorks Cinemas. Fang Yihua continued to add chips, and then added: But it must be acquired as a whole. And DreamWorks Cinemas cannot release Shaw Films any discrimination.

I'm interested in buying it, but I'm worried that Uncle Liu will just sneak away. I'll completely let go of the theater business. Tang Huan laughed.

Of course, he can buy Shaw Cinemas like Dickson Poon did in the original time and space. But Run Run Shaw was really relieved.

But the problem is that, in Tang Huan's eyes, Run Run Shaw's influence in the film industry is still quite useful. If he is allowed to retreat so simply, it would be a waste of resources.

Fang Yihua didn't figure out the meaning of Tang Huan's words, so he didn't rush to talk, just listened to the other party continue: It's a good thing that Chinese films enter Hollywood. Not so easy to fool.

Tang Huan looked at Fang Yihua with a half-smile, Ms. Fang, have you made any statistics? In the past two years, how many Shaw Brothers movies have grossed over 5 million at the Xiangjiang box office? And the newly established New Art City has The two films Best Partner and Brothers and Brothers have exceeded 10 million, especially the former, which is as high as more than 26 million. Even Yongjia Films, a satellite company of DreamWorks, has a box office of Beware tiny hand.

Fang Yihua was quite embarrassed when Tang Huan mercilessly pointed out the decline in the production level of Shaw Films, and she was speechless.

Run Run Shaw may not be very fond of film art, he operates completely according to the thinking of a businessman, as long as he makes money.

In the original time and space, the TV series Shanghai Bund was even edited into two movies and released in Shaw theaters. As a result, the first movie took away more than 1 million box office from the audience, while the second movie directly dropped to 40. More than 10,000 box office.

It can be said that Run Run Shaw hardly gave up any opportunity to extract surplus value. However, in this way, his path in the field of film has become narrower and narrower.

The movie box office nowadays emphasizes explosive power. A critical hit can earn a box office of over 10 million, which is much more cost-effective than working hard on a few movies, but this requires a keen grasp of the market, and the old Shaw Brothers can't keep up with the situation. .

It is probably difficult for Americans to pay for Chinese-language movies. After all, they are on the culturally strong side, so they can only rely on novelty to attract attention. Special kung fu movies like Fang Shiyu are based on this as a starting point.

Tang Huan said leisurely: I am optimistic that the cooperation between the two companies will be successful. But there are still many necessary preparations. Ms. Fang might as well go back and think about it carefully.

Fang Yihua, who was dismissed by Tang Huan, just walked out of the lounge. Then he saw He Guanchang standing outside. After flickering in her heart for a moment, she greeted lightly. Then he left.

From the struggle for power within the Shaw Brothers, to the tit-for-tat confrontation between Golden Harvest and the Shaw Brothers, the two sides have accumulated grudges for more than ten years.

Therefore, He Guanchang didn't care about Fang Yathua's indifference, he just glanced thoughtfully at Fang Yathua's back, but didn't have time to think carefully. Hastily seized the time and walked into the lounge.

What a coincidence, Ms. Fang just left, and Mr. He arrived. Tang Huan joked without any scruples.

It's quite a coincidence. He Guanchang laughed dryly, Perhaps we have the same purpose of looking for Mr. Tang.

I would like to hear the details. Tang Huan nodded slightly.

Golden Harvest has been developing into Hollywood for some years. To be honest, there are gains and losses, mixed joys and sorrows, but Mr. Tang is heroic. He managed a world in Hollywood while talking and laughing. It is really admirable. However, the Chinese are in Hollywood after all. Alone and lonely, Golden Harvest intends to join hands with Mr. Tang, I wonder what Mr. Tang will do?

Compared with Fang Yihua's before, it was almost flattering. He Guanchang showed more confidence, which might not be a true contrast between the current development prospects of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

But Tang Huan must suppress Jiahe's self-righteousness. Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, who are in their fifties, are in the golden stage of career development. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are ambitious and rebellious.

My United Artists and MGM are established in Hollywood, and they can develop smoothly without the help of outsiders. I don't know if Mr. He has asked about the box office performance of this year's summer in the United States. My two companies are the number one, far ahead Tang Huan said lightly.

Upon hearing this. He Guanchang immediately understood that Tang Huan didn't like Jiahe's desire to ask for help. And holding the airs to make a pie.

The fact is also the same, what He Guanchang said hand in hand. It is based on the premise of taking advantage of Tang Huan first and using his Hollywood resources, so how can there be equal capital.

After muttering in his heart, What an imposing manner, He Guanchang immediately laughed and said: Of course I have heard of it, so in Hollywood, Golden Harvest is willing to follow the example of Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang is always more caring than Warner 20th Century Fox, which he worked with before. no.

Seeing that He Guanchang showed his awareness of being a younger brother, Tang Huan nodded slightly in satisfaction, and at the same time he was secretly amused. It seems that Golden Harvest has suffered a lot in the process of cooperating with those old Hollywood fritters, otherwise He Guanchang would not be able to speak There is a kind of helplessness and complaint in it.

In business talk business, I can share Hollywood's resources with Golden Harvest, but what about the corresponding compensation? Tang Huan asked kindly.

DreamWorks has been fighting for the talent resources of Shaw Brothers and TVB. In fact, Golden Harvest is not bad in this regard. He Guanchang, who had been prepared for a long time, offered the exchange terms.

Not bad, but not enough. Tang Huan said bluntly.

He Guanchang, who was not sure of Tang Huan's plan, dared to offer an offer, so he could only ask with a wry smile, Then what does Mr. Tang want Jiahe to do?

Mr. He is not ignorant of the establishment of DreamWorks Cinemas, right? Do you hope that in the future, Golden Harvest Cinemas will have another DreamWorks Cinema in addition to Shaw Brothers Golden Princess Cinemas? Tang Huan laughed loudly.

Did Fang Yihua also talk to Mr. Tang about the theater cooperation? He Guanchang asked tentatively.

That's right. Tang Huan said frankly, The atmosphere of our discussion is very harmonious.

He Guanchang said in a joking tone: If this is the case, if Golden Harvest also joins the cooperation circle, then Xiangjiang's theaters will almost be unified.

What's wrong with this? Tang Huan's eyes suddenly became sharper, Take the Lunar New Year file at the beginning of this year as an example, if the theaters can arrange the schedules of Best Partner and Master Dragon Be more ingenious, it may not be possible to make this cake bigger.

The smile on He Guanchang's face froze. He suddenly remembered the tacit cooperation between TVB and Media Asia TV in the prime time. Seeing what Tang Huan meant, he wanted to carry forward this method to the film field.

If there was any difference, it would be that the former's actions were concealed, while the latter directly assumed a monopoly posture.

But to reach such a level, strong leadership is bound to be required. In other words, it is necessary to rank among the big brothers and the second younger brothers.

Golden Harvest has already chosen to be Tang Huan's follower in Hollywood, so he can't end up like this in Xiangjiang, the headquarters. Golden Harvest, who is in full swing, can't be compared with Shaw Brothers, which is declining.

He Guanchang's thoughts changed sharply, and he couldn't help feeling dizzy.

Mr. He must have understood what I mean, why don't you go back and discuss it with Mr. Zou. Tang Huan stood up first, Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, so don't rush to worry about these mundane matters.

He Guanchang smiled in agreement, hurriedly left, and hurried to find Zou Wenhuai, he didn't have the capital to enjoy leisure like Tang Huan.

...

After He Guanchang explained the content of the meeting, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but gasped, Tang Huan's ambition is so great, Xiangjiang has a long film history, but no one has ever been able to unify the local theater chain.

It may not be that no one can achieve this step. It's just that the interests of the previous ones are not worth the big consortium's hand. You know, the current Hollywood companies basically started in the 1950s and 1960s. It fell into the hands of a consortium of big companies? And Tang Huan, a billionaire, obviously wants to bring this model into Xiangjiang, but the capacity here is limited, only enough for a big crocodile to cruise around. I have been thinking for a long time on the road After a while, He Guanchang sighed.

Tang Huan is now in high spirits. Let's observe for a while before talking, or we will be too passive. Zou Wenhuai, who was unwilling to be a younger brother in Xiangjiang, finally decided.

...

Compared with He Guanchang's Yiye Zhiqiu, Fang Yihua, who is also the spokesperson, does not have such vision.

After reporting to Run Run Shaw, she asked suspiciously: Tang Huan said, I'm afraid you will sneak away and completely let go of the theater chain. What do you mean?

Tang Huan, a young man, wants to monopolize Xiangjiang theaters, and plans to drag me into the water. Run Run Shaw laughed, It seems that I am still very useful in his eyes.

Fang Yihua was surprised for a while, then thought about it, Tang Huan is so rich and powerful, it is normal to have such ambition, Then what should we do?

It's enough to have this basis of cooperation. Now you can concentrate on Miss Xiangjiang's campaign. Run Run Shaw patted the roster that recorded the information of all the beauties. to be continued
