Tseung Kwan O, black and white studio, main building conference room.

Wu Siyuan of Siyuan Pictures, Deng Guangrong of Da Rong Pictures, Xie Xian of Tse Brothers Pictures, Guan San of Kwan Pictures, Nie Weihao of Pegasus Pictures, Luo Cheng of Changtian Pictures, etc.

Basically, the bosses of the film companies are already sitting here.

At this time, the entire conference room was buzzing with people, all discussing what Fang Jianhui had just announced.

"Brother Guan, you have the best relationship with Director Chu among the people sitting here. Please tell everyone what is going on? Black and White Cinemas and Shaw Brothers have stopped production together. Our company just finished filming this month.

I made a movie with an investment of two million Hong Kong dollars, and now I’m waiting for it to be released in theaters. If it doesn’t come out this month, I’ll have to sleep on a flyover!”

Wu Siyuan looked at Guan San eagerly.

Regarding the relationship between Chu Huan and Guan San, the news actually came out on the black and white studio. Currently, the movies that are popular in Hong Kong are from the Republic of China period, so the black and white studio has always been the main filming location for major film companies in Hong Kong.

Chu Huan has been to the Black and White set several times. Occasionally, when Guan Yaojing comes to the set to visit her father, she will be very happy to accompany her when she meets Chu Huan. In the eyes of others, Chu Huan is Guan Yaojing's fuck.

elder brother.

That's why Wu Siyuan asked Guan San now.

Wu Siyuan in this time and space is obviously not as famous as in another time and space.

In another time and space, Cheng Long became famous because of Wu Siyuan. At that time, Cheng Long was an actor at Luo Wei Pictures, but he was not valued by Luo Wei at the time. Instead, Wu Siyuan borrowed Cheng Long and filmed one after another "

"The Snake" and "Drunken Master" made Cheng Long an instant hit in Hong Kong.

In addition, the only black spot in his brother Zhang Guoyi's acting career, "Spring in Red Mansions", was that Wu Siyuan tricked him into filming. At the same time, the heroine of this movie was also Chen Baixiang's wife Huang Xingxiu!

One more thing, Hong Kong martial arts master Yuan Baye is now also a member of Siyuan Pictures.

At this time, these people were really panicked. In fact, it was not just Wu Siyuan, but several other film companies were in the same situation. Last month, Black and White Cinemas concentrated on showing films from other film companies. The reason for this was that the bosses of these film companies were unwilling to do so.

Go deeper, but these people all see the profits in front of them.

Therefore, in the last month and this month, major investment projects have been started.

It happened that at this time, Black and White Cinema announced a one-month suspension of operations.

As for the Shaw Brothers theater chain, these people didn't even think about it, because before that, the Shaw Brothers theater chain only showed movies by Shaw Brothers.

In other words, at this time, the only theaters that can normally show movies in Hong Kong are black and white theaters with black and white images!

Because the emergence of Chu Huan has led to the early prosperity of Xiangjiang movies, there are only 83 theaters in Xiangjiang in another time and space. By next year, the number will even drop to 75 theaters. But now, there are 104 theaters in Xiangjiang, reaching

It has reached the level of 85 years in another time and space.

Among these 104 theaters, apart from Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Shuangnan Cinemas, and Anle Cinemas, there are also theaters from Black and White Cinemas.

Independent cinemas have long since disappeared.

In the past few years, the black and white cinema chain has not always been a good guy. With the monopoly of black and white movies on Hong Kong movies, if a new independent cinema appears, it will either directly acquire it or cut off the other party's film source, etc.

Let the other party come to sell it.

Therefore, this directly led to Black and White Cinemas becoming the largest cinema chain company with a monopoly position in Hong Kong.

After Wu Siyuan asked, others also looked at Guan San.

Guan San enjoyed the look. After coughing, he said: "I think Director Chu will definitely give everyone an explanation for this matter. Don't worry so much. Besides, if you want to know, you can ask."

Director Luo, does the Lei family have a stake in Director Luo's Changtian Pictures? The Lei family and Director Chu are business partners, so I think they will definitely know."

Luo Cheng is one of the bosses of Changtian Pictures. The other boss is Li Jing, who is about to become Lei Juehua's wife.

But now Li Jing is busy with her marriage to Lei Juehua, so she doesn't ask about the company's affairs.

Luo Cheng said with a look of helplessness: "Brother Guan, please stop making fun of me. The four theaters of the Lei family have been sold to Black and White Cinemas. Besides, if I had known, I wouldn't be sitting here now."

.”

A group of people sat together and did not discuss the reason.

"Second brother, what do you think about this matter?"

Deng Guangrong and Xie Xian, the sworn brothers, were sitting together. Deng Guangrong asked Xie Xian in a low voice.

Deng Guangrong, who was once the "student prince" among Taiwan's three major literary and artistic films, has completely focused his career on Hong Kong this year and established his own film company, Tai Wing Pictures.

And now he is also busy working on his film company's first film "Out of the Book".

Now that the Black and White Cinema Chain has suddenly announced a suspension of operations, this is also a blow to Deng Guangrong!

At this time, Xie Xian had not yet participated in "The King of Kings", and the name of Fourth Brother was not known in Xiangjiang. Instead, he was the second eldest brother in their seven-member Silver Rat Team, and was called the second brother by Deng Guangrong.

!

Xie Xian is always so stylish. At 41 years old, he wears a lot of suits, sunglasses, and cigars.

"I'm not sure, but it's definitely because of the film classification system and the Hong Kong Film Festival tonight!"

Hearing what Xie Xian said, Deng Guangrong also nodded and said: "By the way, the film festival has sent me an invitation letter. I also promised to attend tonight. Now that something like this has happened, isn't it?

Will there be any surprises?"

"I received it too!" Xie Xian said: "There is definitely an accident. Now I have begun to doubt whether the Xiangjiang Film Festival can be held smoothly tonight!"

"No, I heard that the black and white artists have also been invited. Didn't they also agree to participate?" Deng Guangrong said in surprise.

Xie Xian shook the cigar in his hand and said: "Haha, nothing can be said for sure now. An hour ago, could we have imagined that the Black and White Cinemas and Shaw Brothers Cinemas would suspend operations?"

Deng Guangrong didn't know how to answer.

At this time, Nie Weihao from Pegasus Pictures spoke.

"Everyone, before I came here, the Film and Television Department called me and told me not to forget the Hong Kong Film Festival tonight. What do you think of this matter?"

Facing Nie Weihao's inquiry, everyone was just like Deng Guangrong, not knowing how to answer.

.

In fact, it was not just Nie Weihao who was asking about this matter. When Fang Jianhui just took the car back to the black and white image, he was surrounded by Hong Jinbao, Xu Guanwen, Cheng Long and others.

Although they are worried about the suspension of black and white cinemas, they are not as worried as those in the conference room. After all, everyone is now on the big ship of black and white images. The most important thing is that during this period, their new film project company has allocated funds.

Well, since this is the case, it means that the company must have a solution to this matter.

The only thing that worries them is the Hong Kong Film Festival tonight. The company has already said before that if they receive an invitation from the Hong Kong Film Festival, they will agree to it.

But now the situation has changed, and they also need to know the company's arrangements for tonight.

"Mr. Fang, just tell me, do we want to participate in the Xiangjiang Film Festival tonight?"

Hong Jinbao asked directly.

Fang Jianhui asked with a smile: "What? You all want to know?"

Hong Jinbao nodded and said: "Of course, we have already discussed it. If the company has other ideas, we will definitely do it in accordance with the company's requirements."

Xu Guanwen and Cheng Long nodded.

Now the three of them can be regarded as the three people with the most box office appeal in Hong Kong at this time.

Fang Jianhui smiled and said: "What? Didn't the Film and Television Department call you?"

The three of them nodded at the same time, and it was Hong Jinbao who said: "Of course it's a fight. I just called my company to ask us to attend on time, but we all believe in the company and believe that the company will definitely not let us suffer."

"That's right!" Cheng Long nodded immediately.

Xu Guanwen looked a little complicated. He really didn't want to fall out with the Hong Kong Film and Television Office because of this matter. After all, the Hong Kong Film and Television Office seemed to have no rights, but looking at the black and white video last month, we can know that if the Hong Kong Film and Television Office really

If you want to target a filmmaker, there are still many ways to do it.

But there was no way to reconcile this matter this time. They and others could only choose to stand aside. In the end, Xu Guanwen chose to stand with the black and white images.

There is no way. Although Xiangjiang Film and Television Office will have some means, it is not urgent. If Black and White wants to deal with itself, it can directly stop investing in Xu's Pictures.

Regardless of the fact that he is now the most popular actor in Hong Kong, if his movies are not released in theaters, then he is nothing.

"That's right!" Xu Guanwen said.

Fang Jianhui asked Cheng Long: "How are the other artists in the company?"

At this time, Cheng Long was also the manager of the black and white video artist department.

Cheng Long said: "Don't worry, Mr. Fang, most people are willing to stand with the company at this time."

Fang Jianhui said: "Most people? In other words, there are still a small number of people who are dissatisfied with the company's decision?"

Cheng Long said coldly: "Don't worry about these people who eat inside and outside, they won't make a difference."

Fang Jianhui looked around and asked Cheng Long, "Where is Director Li?"

Although Li Hanxiang's current movie box office cannot be compared with those of Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, and Xu Guanwen, as the founding father of black and white images, and although the box office of his movies is not top-notch, every movie can

He makes money and is very productive, so his status in the company is still very high.

Cheng Long smiled and said: "Director Li is sick and can't get out of bed anymore, so Director Li can only stay at home today."

Having said this, Cheng Long and the others admired Li Hanxiang. He is indeed an old man. Don't worry about who will win in this battle between Black and White Video and Xiangjiang Film and Television Department. Anyway, I am sick today, so I will stay at home honestly.

, what about the Xiangjiang Film Festival? You can’t just carry the hospital bed for me to attend!

After hearing this, Fang Jianhui also smiled, and then said to Cheng Long: "Now you have someone contact all the artist directors in the company, ask everyone to come to the company, and say that I have something to announce!"
