582, Cinema strike(1/3)
In front of the TV, everyone who was paying attention to this matter was staring at the picture on the TV with an anxious attitude, waiting for Zhou Zhibin to quickly tell the following content.
If Zhou Zhibin suddenly says at this time: We won’t talk about it today, we will talk about it tomorrow!
He will probably be beaten when he comes down!
Fortunately, Zhou Zhibin did not do this, but directly stated the decision about the black and white image.
"In view of the fact that the equipment of the Black and White Cinema Line is old and seriously aged, the Black and White Cinema Line has decided that starting from today, all theaters under the Black and White Cinema Line will start a one-month renovation project. During this month, the Black and White Cinema Line will not
Black and White Cinemas sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience caused to Xiangjiang movie fans by releasing any movie again, and asks Xiangjiang movie fans to forgive you!"
Shao Yifu followed Zhou Zhibin and said calmly: "We at Shaw Brothers Cinemas are the same way. Please forgive me, Xiangjiang movie fans!"
This short sentence made everyone in front of the TV dumbfounded.
At this time, there were only four cinema chains in Xiangjiang, Chu Huan's Black and White Cinema, Shaw Brothers' Shaw Cinema, Shuangnan Cinema in my hometown, and Anle Cinema, which screened foreign language films.
But Shuangnan Cinema Line only shows movies from my hometown, and Anle Cinema Chain only shows foreign-language films, and there are only two cinemas.
As for the independent theaters in Hong Kong, they have already been absorbed by the Black and White Cinemas in the past few years.
In other words, if the Black and White Cinemas and Shaw Brothers Cinemas were to shut down, then there would be no way for the films produced by the entire Hong Kong Film Company to be released.
The entire Hong Kong film market will come to a standstill in an instant.
Although it only lasts for a month, this is not a loss that ordinary film companies can bear.
"This is going to push Hong Kong movies into the abyss!"
The boss of a film company was watching the news on TV and murmuring in horror. Their film company had just started shooting a film with an investment of two million. If it was not released in theaters...
Thinking of this, the other party couldn't calm down immediately, and quickly picked up the phone and dialed the office number of Fang Jianhui, the general manager of Black and White Imaging.
The reply was that after Fang Jianhui came back from the TV station, he would have time to meet them, and now he could come to the black and white video and wait.
After the boss of the film company put down the phone, he immediately drove to Black and White Video.
.
"How dare Chu Huan really do this?"
Huang Xizhao sat on the sofa in his living room and stared blankly at the content on TV. He never expected that Chu Huan would express his protest to the Xiangjiang Film and Television Office in this way.
The black and white theater chain has been suspended for a month. How much loss will this cause?
A rough estimate would be tens of millions!
If Chu Huan's family has a big business and doesn't care about tens of millions of losses, then what about Shaw Brothers Cinemas?
Huang Xizhao knew Shao Yifu very well. How could this man accompany Chu Huan to lose 20 to 30 million, and accompany Chu Huan to fool around?
Are these two crazy?
The most important thing is, can these two people really make the Hong Kong government surrender?
If the Hong Kong government, like them, chooses hard steel, what will it do in one month?
Will this confrontation continue?
Huang Xizhao sat there, not knowing what to say for a moment.
But Huang Xizhi understands that things will never end so easily.
.
"What a decisive decision!"
He Zuozhi was sitting in Zhou Liang Shuyi's office, watching the content on the TV, and it was only after a long time that he uttered such a sentence.
"In order to fight against those in the Film and Television Department, Chu Huan and Shao Yifu both inflicted a thousand wounds on the enemy and eight hundred losses on themselves!"
Zhou Liang Shuyi sat in her seat, frowning, "Such a situation can be regarded as directly putting the black and white images and the Shaw Brothers on the opposite side of the Hong Kong government. Under such circumstances, how can the Hong Kong government give in? This is a shared disaster."
What will happen!"
Jamie Ye couldn't help but ask: "Aren't they worried that the Hong Kong government will re-support new theater chain companies?"
He Zuozhi shook his head and said: "How to support it? If a new cinema is established, then at least nearly one billion funds will be needed to build a new cinema.
Where does the Film and Television Department have this money? If they seek cooperation from private businessmen, then these businessmen will have to consider whether they will offend Chu Huan because of this matter.
At this time, in order to fight for his own rights and interests with the Hong Kong government, Chu Huan even expressed his dissatisfaction to the Film and Television Department in this way. Do you think if someone gets involved at this time, what kind of storm will they face Chu Huan?"
Jamie Ye asked with some horror: "Is there nothing the Hong Kong government can do against Chu Huan?"
Zhou Liang Shuyi shook her head and said: "There are still ways. Chu Huan is a businessman. He can't watch his theater chain not making money or losing money forever. If the Hong Kong government can insist that no movies are released in Hong Kong for a month, then Chu Huan and
Shao Yifu and both of them will definitely give in!"
Ye Jiexin said: "Then Chu Huan would not have thought of this?"
He Zuozhi said: "Chu Huan can naturally think of it. At this time, Chu Huan is actually betting on whether the Hong Kong government has the courage to accept the situation of no movies in Hong Kong for a month, and whether it can bear to live in Hong Kong with movie fans like this.
Yue doesn’t have the anger to watch movies.”
Zhou Liang Shuyi's expression was a little serious and she said: "It seems that tonight's Hong Kong Film Festival will be the venue for the final showdown between the two of them!"
He Zuozhi, who had just analyzed this matter eloquently, failed to understand what Zhou Liang Shuyi meant at this time.
"Ms. Liang, what do you mean?"
Chow Leung Suk-yee said in a deep voice: "The root of all this is actually the Hong Kong film classification system and the Hong Kong Film Awards launched by the Film and Television Department to combat black and white images. Otherwise, there will be no Hong Kong film festival within this month."
The Wutai Mountain War may break out.
After all, Chu Huan is still pursuing his absolute right to speak in the Hong Kong film industry, and wants to show his strength in the Hong Kong film industry to the Hong Kong Film and Television Office.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So now we have to see whether the Hong Kong Film Festival can be launched smoothly, and whether the film classification system can be implemented!"
Hearing this, He Zuozhi's expression suddenly changed. Just when he was about to say something, he discovered that Shuyi Chow had already started calling David Patterson to inquire about the preparations for the Hong Kong Film Festival tonight!
For the official broadcast of the Xiangjiang Film Festival tonight, Jiayi TV has invested a lot of manpower and material resources. If there is a problem with this film festival now, the losses to Jiayi TV will be huge.
But what frightened Chow Leung Suk-yee was that David Patterson's line showed that the line was busy and was not connected at all.
.
"Crazy, crazy! This Chu Huan and Shao Yifu are simply crazy!"
As soon as Zhou Zhibin's voice fell on the TV, Xia Dingji shouted angrily.
He and Luo Bishi thought about countless possibilities, but they never expected that Chu Huan would be so crazy that he wanted to shut down the entire Black and White Cinema chain, and also brought the Shaw Brothers' Shaw Brothers Cinema chain with him.
Luo Bishi sat there with a look of disbelief on his face. He had never expected this result.
"Call David Patterson immediately. As soon as this statement from Black and White Cinema comes out, all the film companies in Hong Kong will go crazy. They must be calling Black and White Cinema frantically now. They must let David Patterson
Tesen comforted them and told them about this matter, and our Hong Kong government will definitely respond!"
After the shock, Luo Bishi immediately preached to Xia Dingji.
Xia Dingji didn't hesitate at all. He immediately picked up the phone and dialed David Patterson's number. His number was connected...
After hanging up the phone, Xia Dingji said to Luo Bishi with a gloomy face: "This Chu Huan is really too arrogant. He actually wants to use this method to force us to submit?"
Luo Bishi shook his head and said: "I didn't expect that Chu Huan would be so crazy and decisive, but it is precisely because of this that we saw that our plan worked. This hit Chu Huan seven inches.
Yes, that’s why he is so crazy and reckless in confronting us!”
Xia Dingji said angrily: "We must not give in to Chu Huan about this matter, otherwise, the entire Hong Kong government will be embarrassed!"
"It is definitely impossible to surrender!" Luo Bishi also said categorically: "But the most important issue now is to stabilize the film companies that are attacking Hong Kong. If they are not stabilized, we will not be able to deal with this matter in a short time.
There is simply no way."
Xia Dingji said: "Now it depends on David Patterson. I believe that the bosses of those film companies will not really dare to go against us!
Just because Chu Huan isn’t afraid of us doesn’t mean they aren’t afraid!”
Luo Bishi said in a deep voice: "Misfortune comes with blessings. This matter is not completely beneficial to us. As long as we can withstand Chu Huan's attack, then because of this matter, those film companies in Xiangjiang
The bosses will definitely be very dissatisfied with Chu Huan's behavior.
Because they were forced by Chu Huan to choose a side. Chu Huan relied on his position in the film market to act like this. The bosses of those film companies will definitely see the problem. After this incident, I believe that Xiangjiang will
More cinema chain companies will emerge.
By then Chu Huan will have lost his biggest support in the Hong Kong film market."
Xia Dingji nodded and said: "Yes, the most important thing for us now is to stabilize the current situation."
Luo Bishi said: "If you want us to gain the upper hand in this matter, there is someone you must meet in person!"
Xia Dingji did not hesitate and asked directly: "Who?"
"Shao Yifu!" Luo Bishi said seriously: "Although we don't know why Shao Yifu stood so firmly on Chu Huan's side at this time, we must win over this person now, as long as the Shao Brothers' Shao Family Hospital
If the movie theater chain is not in the same camp as the black and white cinema chain, then we have the most important card in our hands to stabilize the Hong Kong film market!"
After hearing this, Xia Dingji immediately nodded and said, "That's right! I'll call Shaw Brothers now!"
Then Xia Dingji dialed Shaw's number, but before he put down the phone, Xia Dingji's face was as gloomy as the sky was full of dark clouds.
"What's wrong?"
