Chapter 107 The current situation of the company
This made him very anxious. He couldn't do anything about the instructions given by Zhao Hong, so he had to work on other aspects. So he directly brought in his good friend Wang Jin. This little fat guy was an expert in making commercial films, and he was also
A quick shooter.
Less than two months after joining the company, he directed a romantic comedy movie "The Young Man", which has now been released and has done well at the box office.
Zhao Hong does not reject commercial films either. The reason why he supports literary and artistic films is that there are too few literary and artistic films in Hong Kong. Most directors in Xiangjiang make commercial films. A film market without literary and artistic films is unsound and has no soul.
It's empty.
He also wants to make literary and commercial films, and he wants to experiment with both genres.
During this period, cinemas were also developing well. DreamWorks directly prepared a large amount of funds to expand cinemas, and now it has acquired three more cinemas in Hong Kong.
Zhao Hong does not plan to add more theaters in Xiangjiang. In one year, the next DreamWorks building will be completed, and a theater will be renovated in each building. In total, there will be 23 theaters in Xiangjiang, which can cover the entire population in Xiangjiang.
External development is very rapid. It has acquired more than 20 theaters in Southeast Asia, including five in Singapore. Countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam all build their own theaters, and all projects are outsourced to local real estate developers.
Zhao Hong plans to acquire or build the last 300 theaters in Southeast Asia, excluding South Korea and Japan, and finally form a multinational giant theater chain. As for Europe and the United States, it will slowly develop in the future.
Japan is a difficult country to start with. Their local companies are relatively exclusive. Zhao Hong’s plan is to just buy a stake in a local theater chain. As for South Korea, it is even more difficult to enter. It is impossible to build a theater chain there by yourself.
To be able to do the same as in Japan, all you need to do is invest in it.
Xiangjiang's current movies are very popular in Southeast Asia, but they are rootless and can only be bought at high prices by big-name stars. This is very abnormal.
If there is any disturbance in the market, the external market will easily collapse. In the original time and space, Xiangjiang Film would lose the external market and go downhill.
Of course, it is also inseparable from their seeking death, although this is a small part of the reason.
Mainly due to the rise of films in Southeast Asian countries, take South Korea as an example. In the 1990s, their films officially emerged, and many wonderful filmmakers emerged. However, Hong Kong lacks talents, lacks stamina, declines in film quality, and lacks innovation capabilities.
, just know that they are plagiarizing Hollywood scenes.
Zhao Hong wants to ensure the strong distribution capabilities of her film company through theater channels.
He doesn't want his film company to decline with it in the future after Xiangjiang Film declines.
Zhao Hong still remembers that around the turn of the millennium, filmmakers from Xiangjiang went north to make a living. She thought they were uncles and was very discriminatory towards their mainland counterparts. She couldn't get her mentality right. The result was that many Xiangjiang directors could not capture the mainland.
The taste of the audience has caused one movie after another to hit the streets, and mainland film and television companies have risen rapidly.
In the end, Xiangjiang Film and Television Company had no say at all in the mainland, and many mainland film and television companies eventually stopped taking them on board.
In their view, these companies have no use value at all.
Zhao Hong is also helpless about the decline of Xiangjiang movies. It is a miracle that Xiangjiang can produce so many classic movies in the 1980s and 1990s. However, this has created a reverse attraction with the development of many mainland movies in the Mainland. Talents in Xiangjiang have been attracted one after another.
Going north, the loss of talent doomed it to decline.
The management of DreamWorks Cinema is now fully handed over to Cen Jianxun. The cinema is not just about showing movies, it is also a sales channel for DreamWorks toys.
Now DreamWorks Game Company is a relatively profitable company in DreamWorks. Last year, it only developed one game: Great Wall Cube. So far, it has earned a net profit of US$1.5 billion. This is a single game. If there are several games
If so, it is definitely DreamWorks' most profitable company.
Zhao Hong inspected the game company and provided another creative idea, which was "Street Fighter". This game is a long-lived game and is very classic.
It is a fighting stand-alone game series first launched by Japanese cap company in 1987.
It has produced many games in this series, such as the original "Street Fighter" series, the "Street Fighter 2" series, the "Young Street Fighter" series, the "Street Fighter 3" series, the "Street Fighter 4" series, and "Street Fighter 5"
series, in addition to the "Street Fighter ex" series, "Street Fighter online" and other unorthodox game series, etc.
In addition, it has derived animations, movies, comics, etc., which can be said to be a gold mine. It is still more than three years before it appears, which is a good time to officially plagiarize.
The manager of DreamWorks Game Company is a Japanese named Saburo Ibebe. He is the first batch of employees recruited by DreamWorks in Japan. He is flexible in mind, serious in work, and has good skills.
Therefore, Zhao Hong was promoted to the manager of the game company, and the company's first game was developed under his leadership.
His innovation ability may be a bit lacking, but his execution ability is very good. The company has just been established, and Zhao Hong has no illusions that a big company will take over his company. He is very satisfied with such a talent. There is no place like this in Xiangjiang.
Game companies exist in a country where there are very few talents to develop games.
Many Japanese people left one after another when they heard that Xiangjiang Company was recruiting. Only some people were very attracted by the high salary and reluctantly stayed.
Now Saburo Ibebe admires Zhao Hong very much. Originally, they were assigned to develop a low-difficulty game when they arrived. They were a bit resistant. The technology was too low and could not show their technical level. For the sake of money, they
They still made it according to the requirements honestly. Unexpectedly, after it was developed, they tried it out and couldn't stop.
He immediately felt that this game was going to be popular. As expected, the game hit the market and was well received by many players.
When Zhao Hong proposed the idea of "Street Fighter", he immediately felt that it was very interesting, so he took the lead in developing the game himself to gain time to develop it earlier.
Finally, at DreamWorks Investment Company, Zhao Hong communicated with Yuan Tianfan in person. After hearing Yuan Tianfan’s investment direction and philosophy, he felt very good. Many of his speculations shocked Zhao Hong. For example, he said that Yangtze River Industries had to hold stocks for a long time.
, and then he ordered several companies, all of which will be giant companies in Hong Kong in the future.
It can be seen from the side that his investment vision is very good, but of course it is not perfect. For example, he does not know much about technology stocks.
Zhao Hong also gave him some instructions, such as acquiring stocks in companies such as Apple, Cisco and Microsoft, and also told him to pay more attention to technology companies in Silicon Valley, and to report to him at any time.
It was impossible for Zhao Hong to know at once that a company in Silicon Valley would become a big company in the future. Only after contacting it would he combine it with his past life memories to judge whether the company had development potential.
Just like this, it’s almost the end of March. Now the company’s situation is basically clear.
Zhao Hong estimated that the current monthly net profit of the entire group is about 500 million Hong Kong dollars, which is simply more profitable than developing real estate. Of course, its potential is not as big as real estate.
