Oriental DreamWorks took the initiative to announce the termination of its cooperation with Golden Princess Cinema, and public opinion arose as soon as the news came out.
As one of the most profitable film production companies in Hong Kong in the past two years, every move of DreamWorks has attracted much attention. Similarly, the Golden Princess Cinema Line has also been the fastest-growing theater chain in the past two years, and its strength has already surpassed
Shaw Brothers Cinema Line and Shuangnan Cinema Line keep pace with Jiahe Cinema Line, and the two heroes stand side by side.
Now that DreamWorks suddenly stopped cooperating with Princess Jin, what does this mean?
For the film companies that screen films in the Golden Princess Cinema, DreamWorks' withdrawal means an opportunity, and their films will have a better chance of getting good schedules in the future.
For all film companies in Hong Kong, if DreamWorks declines, they will lose a strong box office competitor.
…
Golden Harvest Films Headquarters.
Liu Lianghua walked quickly into Zou Wenhuai's office and said, "Brother Huai, the news has been confirmed. Kang Jianfei has gathered more than a dozen small theaters and is probably preparing to form his own theater chain."
Zou Wenhuai laughed and said: "Kang Jianfei really would rather die than give in. Thunder Tiger encountered a tough problem this time. Not only did he not swallow the fat, but he also chipped a few teeth."
Liu Lianghua asked: "Do you want to get in touch with Kang Jianfei? He has fallen out with Shao Yifu now. Cooperating with Jiahe is Kang Jianfei's best choice."
Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said: "It's useless. He would rather sever cooperation with Princess Jin than hand over the shares of DreamWorks. This kind of person will not succumb to others. Besides, we are not short of film sources. One more dream
In a factory, the film arrangement task will be very difficult."
Liu Jinghua used to be a Shaw Brothers actress and appeared in nearly 30 films. Later she married Shaw Brothers director Luo Wei, and joined Golden Harvest with her husband. Within a few years, she became Zou Wenhuai's confidante, and then divorced her husband Luo Wei.
.
Liu Lianghua is responsible for managing artists and some administrative work in Jiahe, and is also one of the shareholders of Jiahe Pictures. When Jiahe snatched Cheng Long from her ex-husband Luo Wei, Liu Lianghua played a lot of role behind the scenes.
"Then we're just going to watch like this?" Liu Jinghua walked up behind Zou Wenhuai and squeezed his shoulders. This woman was about forty years old, but she didn't even have a few wrinkles on her face, and she still had the charm of a mature woman.
Zou Wenhuai closed his eyes comfortably and said: "Kang Jianfei can't do it, but we can recruit a few generals. Zeng Zhiwei, Chen Xunqi, Gao Zhisen, and Yu Kanping are all talents. It would be even better if we could recruit Zhou Runfa and Lin Qingxia.
There are people from the Kang family and the Raptors stunt team. Don’t care about how much money you spend. Now that Oriental DreamWorks is in trouble, it’s the best time to poach people.”
Liu Lianghua put her mouth close to Zou Wenhuai's ear and chuckled, "Then I'll make arrangements right now."
…
While Jiahe's people were happily heading towards DreamWorks with hoes, Lei Juekun was so angry that he wanted to smash things.
According to Lei Juekun's idea, after weighing the pros and cons, Kang Jianfei would bow his head and admit defeat after a month at most. He obediently agreed to cooperate with him. But the current development of the situation was completely beyond Lei Juekun's expectations.
It's like two people making an appointment to fight. One person has a steel pipe hidden in his sleeve and is about to hit him hard. The other person suddenly turns around and leaves, saying: "I want to go home for dinner and I won't play with you anymore."
"Mr. Lei, there are many reporters outside. Do you want to take the side door?" the driver reminded.
Lei Juekun was simmering with anger and said angrily: "I still want to use the side door of my home? Rush out!"
The door of the villa slowly opened, and as soon as Lei Juekun's car drove out, he was surrounded by reporters squatting outside.
"Mr. Lei, DreamWorks has taken the initiative to terminate cooperation with Princess Jin. What do you think?"
"Mr. Lei, what do you think of the future of DreamWorks?"
"Mr. Lei, without DreamWorks, can Princess Jin maintain her previous high profitability?"
"..."
"Bah bah bah!"
The driver honked his horn frantically and fought his way out of the crowd of reporters. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting on the road.
Lei Juekun, who had closed his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes and ordered: "Go to Xinyi City!"
New Arts City's "Best Partner 2" is currently being screened, and the big bosses can finally take a break in a short time.
When Lei Juokun arrived at Xinyi City, Mecca was dozing off on the boss's chair, and his secretary quickly ran in to wake him up.
"Mr. Lei!" Mika went out to greet him. Although he claims to be the big boss of Xinyi City, the real boss is Lei Juekun.
"Sit down," Lei Juekun asked as he came up, "I heard that you have some acquaintances at DreamWorks?"
Mecca nodded and said, "I know a few people."
Lei Juekun asked: "Who do you know? As long as there are talents, we should dig them out at all costs."
Makka thought for a while and said: "I have some friendship with Zeng Zhiwei and Huang Xia. I also have dealings with Chen Xunqi. Gao Zhisen from DreamWorks is Huang Baiming's apprentice. Teddy Robin knows Eu Yan Tai, Wen Jun and Zhang Guozhong.
Especially Zhang Guozhong, who is now the deputy manager of the Artist Department of DreamWorks. After taking him down, we can bring a group of actors with him."
"Start immediately, dig out as much as you can while his illness kills him!" After Lei Juekun said that, he turned around and left.
Mecca opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He believed that with the current situation of Xinyi City, it would be enough to poach two or three important talents in DreamWorks. Large-scale poaching is both expensive and useless, and it is completely
It's a waste.
Lei Juokun rarely interfered with the specific affairs of Xinyi City, but once he gave an order, Mecca had no way of refusing.
…
Jiahe and Xinyi City were wildly swinging their hoes at DreamWorks. In just a few days, DreamWorks had poached 8 people from the two companies.
The most unexpected thing for Kang Jianfei was that Chen Xunqi, a veteran of DreamWorks, actually left. Lei Juekun promised to help him invest in a film company and gave Chen Xunqi 30% of the shares.
"Have you thought about it?" Kang Jianfei asked calmly.
Chen Xunqi lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "Mr. Kang, I'm sorry, I don't want to give up this opportunity."
Kang Jianfei smiled and asked: "A chance to be the boss?"
Chen Xunqi shook his head and said: "This is an opportunity to be a producer. I like to try new things. I have tried doing music, acting, directing, photography, martial arts, and supervision. This time
I want to try my own production.”
Kang Jianfei threw Chen Xunqi's resignation letter aside and said with a smile: "Come back when you've had enough trouble over there. DreamWorks welcomes you at any time. As for your resignation letter, I won't sign it. Tell that old guy Lei Juekun to hurry up.
Send us the liquidated damages, otherwise I will take you to court."
Kang Jianfei not only lost his temper, but kept smiling kindly. This made Chen Xunqi feel more guilty. He moved his mouth but didn't know what to say, so he could only nod and said: "I will pay the liquidated damages as soon as possible."
After talking about business, Kang Jianfei started chatting with Chen Xunqi. He asked: "Archie, do you know why I made Zeng Zhiwei the production manager, but you are more advanced than him in the company but can only be my deputy?"
Chen Xunqi laughed self-deprecatingly: "Maybe it's my lack of ability."
Kang Jianfei shook his head and said: "No. Your ability is above Zeng Zhiwei, but your character is too restless. You often do things with emotion more than reason, and you will make decisions when your brain gets hot. Although Zeng Zhiwei likes to brag, he doesn't do things well.
He is very cautious, so I feel more comfortable leaving the production department to him. To be honest, I am not optimistic about your future film company. With your talent, the company's first few movies will definitely make money, but it will definitely lose money within one or two years, and within three to five years
It will go bankrupt.”
Chen Xunqi was silent. It is most difficult for people to see themselves clearly, especially those who are capable. Chen Xunqi is an arrogant person. He feels that if he opens a film company, at least he will not be able to do better than those in Xinyi City.
Difference.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "Okay, that's all. If your company goes bankrupt someday, come back to me as soon as possible. Don't be afraid of losing face."
Chen Xunqi bowed to Kang Jianfei, then turned around and left without looking back.
As soon as Chen Xunqi left, Kang Jianfei's smiling face immediately turned cold. He called Chen Shuli in and said, "Go and inform all departments that Yu Rentai will take over Chen Xunqi's position as deputy manager of the production department."
In addition to Chen Xunqi being poached, the Raptors Stunt Team suffered the most heavy losses, with almost two-thirds of its members poached by New Art City and Golden Harvest.
The Raptors stunt team is mainly composed of two groups, Ke Shouliang and Luo Lixian. In the long run, the two groups will inevitably have conflicts, and even Ke Shouliang and Luo Lixian cannot suppress them.
Now that DreamWorks has broken up with Golden Princess, although it has repeatedly explained to its employees that there is no need to worry, it still makes people panic. As soon as Jiahe and Xinyicheng companies spent money, it had an immediate effect. Ke Shouliang's people took the team there
After arriving at Xinyi City, Luo Lixian's people took the team to defect to Golden Harvest. In just a few days, the Raptors stunt team, which was proud of the Hong Kong film industry, including Ke Shouliang and Luo Lixian, only had 5 people left in total.
Fortunately, the two heads of the stunt team, Ke Shouliang and Luo Lixian, one is loyal and the other is sincere, and neither of them abandoned Kang Jianfei at this critical moment. With Ke Shouliang and Luo Lixian as the two leaders, the Raptors stunt team has at most two
It can be reorganized in three months.
Compared to Golden Harvest and New Art City, who took advantage of the situation, Shaw Brothers Pictures was very quiet this time and made no moves at all.
Kang Jianfei originally thought that Shao Yifu was ready to give up on Shaw Brothers and focus on developing the TV station, so he did not waste money and take advantage of the opportunity to poach people. But a few days after this idea was born, news suddenly came out from Shaw Brothers that Shaw Brothers was raising funds.
, preparing to create a Hong Kong version of "Star Wars", a super sci-fi epic blockbuster.
Shao Yifu is really reluctant to give up his film career. Shaw Brothers has suffered huge losses in the past two years, and now he is ready to give up his career.
However, when Kang Jianfei thought of "Interstellar", his depressed mood suddenly improved. After this science fiction film, known as the Hong Kong version of "Star Wars", hit the market, Shao Daheng must have given up on Shaw Brothers.
Not long after Kang Jianfei's mood improved, Gao Zhisen suddenly ran into his office and said unspeakably: "Mr. Kang, I want to resign."
If Kang Jianfei could barely forgive Chen Xunqi's departure, then Gao Zhisen's betrayal at this time made him intolerable. After all, Chen Xunqi's ability lies there. After leaving DreamWorks, he will be his own boss. There is nothing wrong with people going to higher places.
But Gao Zhisen is different. When he first joined DreamWorks, he was a newcomer who couldn't even fart. It was purely because of Kang Jianfei's trust and support that he achieved his current fame and achievements.
Gao Zhisen is just a director. After leaving DreamWorks and going to Xinyi City, he will still be a director at most. In such a situation, he can still turn his back on his master and leave. It is really a typical example of cheating.
Gao Zhisen tried to explain: "Mr. Kang, Huang Baiming from Xinyi City is my teacher..."
"Get out!" Kang Jianfei yelled angrily, picked up the pen holder and threw it at him.
Gao Zhisen covered his forehead, and blood soon overflowed between his fingers. He was so frightened that he ran away. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com () to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support.
