There are not many good Christmas movies in Hong Kong this year. "False School Veyron 2" starring Zhou Xingchi, Zhang Xie, Wu Mengda and Zhu Quan swept the Christmas box office as soon as it was released.
This time, Jiahe mainly focuses on "City Hunter" starring Cheng Long, but because Zhou Xingchi is so popular, Jiahe takes the initiative to shoot Cheng Long's films until the Spring Festival is staggered.
Yes, Stephen Chow is so awesome now. Although his movies are not as box office as Cheng Long in Japan and South Korea, in Hong Kong, even if Cheng Long meets Zhou Xingchi, he still has to choose to avoid it.
Also enjoyable is the fat man Wang Jing. In the past two years, he not only established a film company with the support of wealthy Taiwanese businessmen, but also worked well in DreamWorks, Jiahe, Shaw Brothers, Metropolitan, Yongsheng and other film companies. This time, Cheng Long's "City Hunter" was filmed by Jiahe who specially invited Wang Jing to be the director and then adapted the Japanese comic of the same name.
There are many things that can be seen from the production team of the drama "City Hunter". Most of the team behind the scenes are Jiahe employees, and the action design is Cheng Long's team, and nearly half of the main actors are contracted artists of Oriental Entertainment Agency.
Jiahe's business strategy of light production and heavy distribution is becoming more and more obvious. It has basically given up the cultivation of potential artists. When filming, they directly invite actors from Oriental Entertainment Agency. Even good directors under Jiahe have found a way out, so they have to invite Wang Jing to direct the show.
There is another feature of this Christmas time, that is, the number of third-level films (mainly love and porn films) has increased. In the past, these films were screened in ordinary schedules. However, because they are becoming more and more popular with male audiences, they are now listed in the Christmas time.
...
"Godfather. What are you looking at?" Xu Ruoxuan ran over and lay on Kang Jianfei's shoulder, but her eyes did not look at the documents in Kang Jianfei's hand. Instead, she made some small moves to attract the attention of her godfather.
"Some information from Japanese record companies." Kang Jianfei patted Xu Ruoxuan's back of his hand and asked, "Where is Cai Ni and Yan Zi?"
Xu Ruoxuan walked around the sofa and sat in Kang Jianfei's arms affectionately and said, "They are wearing makeup. We are going to Acer for a show in the afternoon."
"In the future, if you can't accept such company activities, you won't accept them. There is no shortage of that amount of money," said Kang Jianfei. "Your fame has increased now. Pay attention to improving your level and taste."
"Acer is a high-tech electronics industry. If we make toothpaste and soap, we won't go." Xu Ruoxuan lay in Kang Jianfei's arms, pressing her ear against his broad chest like a child, feeling the powerful heartbeat.
In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Day in 1993, and Kang Jianfei had never returned to Hong Kong. Except for the previous few days when the Tianwang Group returned to Taipei, he ran to accompany Xiaoxian for two days, and was always in the pile of makeup of the three girls and Ge Weiru.
Since that night, Kang Jianfei has become the male owner of the girl's apartment. He is ridiculous and has no scruples. Sometimes he is crazy in the living room. The most uncomfortable thing is Xu Ruoxuan. He watches the spring and palace scenes of two young sisters and Kang Jianfei every day, but his godfather never eats her. He can only touch and kiss her to make her feel tired.
After a while, the agent of the Three Girls came to the door to urge them and took them to Acer to attend the event.
Only then did Kang Jianfei put out the documents in his hand one by one. There were information from more than a dozen Japanese record companies on it. After reading these, you can roughly understand the current situation in the Japanese music scene.
Today's Japanese music scene is far from the future where several large companies divide the world. Sony Music and Universal Records have a large share of market share in Japan. However, some old record companies are still living a very prosperous life, and new companies like Ai Hui also have hope of making a comeback.
When Kang Jianfei asked people to collect information, he specifically asked to pay attention to Aihui Music, so the information of this company is very detailed.
Aihui Music, full name Aibakers Co., Ltd., was founded in 1988 by Katsuto Matsuura.
In the first two years, Aihui Music only represented foreign records to Japan and handed them over to Japan's Chuangmei Planning Company to publish them. It was purely a record middleman, with neither record production nor record distribution capabilities.
Two years after the company was established, in 1990, Matsuura Katsuto received funding from wealthy businessman Idatsuki, established the record production department of Aihui Music, and signed the orchestra Trf.
Trf is an outdated orchestra that is almost unable to make it in the Japanese music industry, so he signed in to Aihui this small company as he had no choice but to sign in to Aihui Music. Unexpectedly, the first record created by Aihui Music for Trf was successful, making this outdated orchestra popular again.
Although he has gained a foothold in the Japanese recording industry, the industry's positioning of Aihui Music is very embarrassing. After Aihui returns to his new life, bands and singers of poorly made their own bands and singers came one after another. After Aihui signed a few out-of-date singers, the company was finally labeled as an "artist shelter".
Even if Aihui Music is at a high price, it will not be able to invite those powerful and famous singers, because as long as they join Aihui Music, the "artist shelter", it proves that the singer was in a down-and-out past.
Ai Hui Music is at this time in a bottleneck that is not awkward, and it is very difficult to develop further. But for Kang Jianfei, it is a good time to acquire Ai Hui.
There are five shareholders of ABX Co., Ltd., the largest shareholder is Fu Businessman Ida Son, the second shareholder is Matsuura Katsuto, the founder of ABX. The remaining three small shareholders are Matsuura Katsuto.
The first thing Kang Jianfei is looking for is Ida Sun. With the current situation of Aihui Music, it is easy to convince him to sell his shares. Matsuura Katsuto must stay because he is a key figure in Aihui Music's development. With him managing the company, Kang Jianfei can easily become a hand-off manager in the future.
Katsuto Matsuura has a unclear relationship with many Japanese female singers, and even was exposed to lure his female stars to take drugs together. His private life is not much better than Kang Jianfei. But this guy has the ability and vision. For example, Ayumi Hamasaki was discovered and cultivated by Katsuto Matsuura himself to make famous.
Three days later, Kang Jianfei met Yitian Xun, the major shareholder of Aibex.
Ida Xun is over fifty years old. Compared with the generally short and thin Japanese, he is obviously an alien. He is tall, fat, burly and generous in every move. Moreover, his English is fluent and pure, and he does not have the terrible English accent of ordinary Japanese.
The two made an appointment to meet in Yitianxun's private house. As soon as Kang Jianfei walked into the courtyard, Yitianxun strode over and welcomed him: "Hello, Mr. Kang, I am very happy to see you."
"Hello Mr. Yitian, I have long admired Daming." Kang Jianfei said politely.
Yitian Xun is the boss of the company. However, T.y. has only been established for a few years and cannot be compared with Kang Jianfei, the richest man in Hong Kong.
Through the garden, Kang Jianfei followed Yitian Xun to a tea room. The two sat opposite each other across the coffee table. A woman in a kimono began to clean the tea set, as if she was preparing to perform a tea ceremony.
The two did not talk about the serious matter at the beginning, but talked about the popular "Jurassic Park" in Japan. Ida Xun asked about the story behind the movie with interest. Whenever he figured out a special effect shooting problem, he would say "Sodeska"!
It was not until the first cup of tea that Ida Sumita suddenly went straight to the topic: "Mr. Kang's purpose of coming to Japan this time is to acquire Abex?"
Kang Jianfei did not hide it and admitted: "I have this intention. I intend to enter the Japanese record market, but I don't know the depth of it. So I want to buy a small company to explore the way."
Ida Sakura said with a smile: "EBX is not a small company. Its profitability can rank among the top 15 among many Japanese record companies."
Kang Jianfei sipped a sip of tea and said lightly: "In my opinion, it is just a small company."
Yitian Xun was choked by these words. With Kang Jianfei's current wealth, he is indeed qualified to say that Abex is a small company.
"Sorry, I don't want to sell Aibex's shares." Itian Xun refused without thinking too much.
Kang Jianfei said regretfully: "Since that's the case, it seems that I can only talk to other record companies to discuss acquisitions."
"Do you need my help to contact me?" Yitian Xun was carefully observing Kang Jianfei's expression as he spoke.
Kang Jianfei smiled calmly and said, "No need, before I came to Japan, I have contacted the bosses of three companies."
Yitian Xun asked, "I wonder which two other record companies are there?"
"This is a commercial secret, please forgive me for not giving me any advice." Kang Jianfei apologized.
Yitian Xun thought that Kang Jianfei came to discuss the acquisition personally with the determination to win, so he refused to raise the acquisition price of Abex.
Unexpectedly, Kang Jianfei didn't get into the trap at all, and he made it clear that he didn't have to buy Aibex, which made Yitian Xun hit the cotton with a fierce punch.
Kang Jianfei is really not talking about it. If Itian Xun refuses to take action against Ai Hui Music Co., Ltd., he can turn around and leave and buy it with a Japanese record company.
More than ten years later, Ida Suki was familiar with the entertainment industry in the entire Asia. He was even invited to serve as the director of the Japanese film industry revitalization agency and the chairman of the Tokyo International Film Festival. But Ida Suki is not very enthusiastic about the entertainment industry at this moment. After Abex fell into a development bottleneck, he always wanted to sell his shares, but he had not found a suitable buyer.
Seeing that Kang Jian could not take the bait, Yitian Xun stopped playing the silence and asked directly: "I have 57% of Aibex shares in my hands. How much does Mr. Kang plan to bid?"
"One-price, $5 million." Kang Jianfei said.
Yitian Xun sat there and didn't know how to bargain. Abex was not a big company, so his record production company was more valuable. The shares he had sold for $3 million.
Rich and willful!
Yitian Xun wanted to raise the price, but when he saw Kang Jianfei's smile hanging on his face, he changed his mouth and said, "Since Mr. Kang is so sincere, then let's have 3 million."
Two years ago, when Yitian Xun invested in Abex, he invested only US$300,000, and the profit return of more than ten times in two years. This investment is enough to make him proud.
