There are not many good Christmas movies in Hong Kong this year. "Fight Back to School 2" starring Zhou Xingchi, Zhang Yan, Wu Mengda and Zhu Yan swept the Christmas box office as soon as it was released. ∏∈∏∈,
This time Golden Harvest is focusing on "City Hunter" starring Cheng Long. However, due to Stephen Chow's popularity, Golden Harvest took the initiative to move Cheng Long's film to the Spring Festival.
Yes, Mr. Xing is so awesome today. Although his movies are not as good as Cheng Long at the box office in Japan and South Korea, in Hong Kong, even if Cheng Long met Zhou Xingchi, he had to choose to avoid it.
Also enjoying the success is the fat man Wang Jing. In the past two years, he has not only established ** Film Company with the funding of wealthy Taiwanese businessmen, but has also enjoyed success in film companies such as DreamWorks, Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, Metropolis, and Yongsheng. This is
The next "City Hunter" by Cheng Long was made by Jiahe specially inviting Wang Jing to be the director and then adapted the Japanese comic of the same name.
A lot can be seen from the production team of "City Hunter". Most of the behind-the-scenes team are employees of Golden Harvest, the action designers are Cheng Long's team, and nearly half of the main actors are contracted artists of Oriental Entertainment Agency.
Golden Harvest's business strategy of light production and heavy distribution has become more and more obvious. It has basically given up on cultivating potential artists. When filming, it directly invites actors from Oriental Entertainment Agency. Even the good directors under Golden Harvest have also found their own ways.
So much so that Wang Jing had to be invited to direct the project.
Another feature of this Christmas season is that the number of Category III films (mainly pornographic films) has increased. In the past, such films were screened in regular schedules. However, due to their increasing popularity among male audiences, they are now shown openly
Placed in the Christmas stall.
…
"What are you looking at, godfather?" Xu Ruoxuan ran over and lay on Kang Jianfei's shoulder. Her eyes did not look at the documents in Kang Jianfei's hand. Instead, she made some small movements to attract the godfather's attention.
"Some Japanese record company information." Kang Jianfei patted the back of Xu Ruoxuan's hand and asked, "Where are Caini and Yanzi?"
Xu Ruoxuan walked around the sofa, sat affectionately in Kang Jianfei's arms and said, "They are putting on makeup. We are going to Acer to do a show in the afternoon."
"In the future, if you can't accept this kind of company activities, don't accept them, as long as you don't miss a few dollars," Kang Jianfei said, "You have become famous now. You should pay attention to improving your class and taste."
"Acer is a high-tech electronics company. If it makes toothpaste and soap, we won't go there." Xu Ruoxuan lay in Kang Jianfei's arms, pressing her ears against his broad chest like a child, feeling the strong heartbeat.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Day of 1993, and Kang Jianfei had never returned to Hong Kong. Except for the two days when the King of Heaven and Xian returned to Taipei, and he went to stay with Xiaoxian for two days, the rest of the time he was bored with the makeup of the three girls and Ge Weiru.
Since that night, Kang Jianfei has become the male host of the girl's apartment. He has no scruples when it comes to being ridiculous, and sometimes goes crazy in the living room. The most uncomfortable thing is Xu Ruoxuan, who sees the two little sisters and Kang Jianfei every day
During the erotic drama, the godfather never wanted to eat her. He could only scratch, touch, and kiss her to satisfy her cravings.
After a while, the three girls’ manager came to urge them and took them to attend an event at Acer.
Kang Jianfei then opened the documents in his hand one by one. There were information on more than ten Japanese record companies. After reading these, you can roughly understand the current situation of the Japanese music scene.
Today's Japanese music scene is far from the future pattern of a few big companies dividing the world. Sony Music and Universal Music are two dominant players, one internal and one external, and have a large share of the market share in Japan. But some old-name records
The company is still very much alive, and new companies like Aihui also have hope of getting ahead.
When Kang Jianfei asked people to collect information, he specifically asked to pay attention to Aihui Music, so the information about this company is very detailed.
Aihui Music, whose full name is Aibex Co., Ltd., was founded in 1988 by Katsuto Matsuura.
In the first two years, Aihui Music only represented foreign records to Japan, and then handed them over to Japan's Chuangmei Planning Company for distribution. 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 the wealthy businessman Yida Tatsumi, established the record production department of Aihui Music, and signed the band trf.
trf is a has-been band that can no longer survive in the Japanese music industry, so they signed with the small company Aihui Music as a last resort. Unexpectedly, Aihui Music’s first album for trf was a success, making this has-been band
The band became popular again.
Although it has established a firm foothold in the Japanese record industry, the industry's positioning of Aihui Music is very embarrassing. After the outdated band trf regained its new life in Aihui, bands and singers who had not done well came one after another and signed a contract with Aihui.
After a few has-been singers, the company was finally labeled as an "artist shelter."
Even if Aihui Music offers a higher price, it cannot hire those capable and famous singers, because as long as they join the "artist asylum" of Aihui Music, it proves that the singer was in a miserable state before.
Aihui Music is currently in this awkward bottleneck, and it is very difficult to further develop. But for Kang Jianfei, it is a good time to acquire Aihui.
There are five shareholders in Aibex Co., Ltd., the largest shareholder is the wealthy businessman Yida Tatsumi, the second shareholder is Matsuura Katsuto, the founder of Aibex, and the remaining three small shareholders are all partners of Matsuura Katsuto.
The first thing Kang Jianfei wants to find is Yita Tatsumi. With the current situation of Aihui Music, it is easy to convince him to sell his shares. But Matsuura Katsuto must stay because he is a key figure in the development of Aihui Music.
He manages the company, and Kang Jianfei can easily become the boss in the future.
Matsuura Katsuto's relationship with many Japanese female singers is unclear. It was even revealed that he lured his female stars to take drugs together. His private life is not much better than that of Kang Jianfei. But this guy is capable and discerning. Just like Ayumi Hamasaki.
Matsuura Katsuto personally discovered and cultivated the popular talents.
Three days later, Kang Jianfei met Yida Xun, the major shareholder of Aibex.
Yida Tatsumi is over fifty years old. Compared with the Japanese who are generally short and thin, he is obviously an anomaly. He is tall, fat and tall. He is bold and generous in his gestures, and his English is very fluent and pure, unlike ordinary people.
That terrible Japanese accent.
The two made an appointment to meet at Yitian Xun's private house. As soon as Kang Jianfei entered the courtyard, Yitian Xun strode over and welcomed him: "Hello, Mr. Kang, I am very happy to meet you."
"Hello, Mr. Yitian, I have long admired your name." Kang Jianfei said politely.
Yitian Tsumi is the boss of t.y.limited 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 Yita Tatsumi to a tea room. The two sat across from each other on the coffee table, and a woman in kimono began to clean the tea sets, seemingly preparing to perform a tea ceremony.
The two of them did not talk about business at first, but talked about "Jurassic Park" which is currently being screened in Japan. Ita Tatsumi was very interested in asking about the story behind the movie. Whenever he figured out a special effects shooting problem, he would say:
"Sodesga"!
It wasn't until the first cup of tea was brewed that Tatsumi Yida suddenly went straight to the topic: "The purpose of Mr. Kang's visit to Japan this time is to acquire Avex?"
Kang Jianfei did not hide it and admitted: "I do 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."
Yida Tatsumi said with a smile: "AVEX is not a small company. Its profit ranks among the top fifteen among many record companies in Japan."
Kang Jianfei took a sip of tea and said lightly: "In my opinion, it is just a small company."
Yitian Xun was choked by these words. Considering Kang Jianfei's current net worth, he is indeed qualified to say that Aibox is a small company.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to sell the shares of Avex." Tatsumi Yida refused without much thought.
Kang Jianfei said regretfully: "In this case, it seems that I can only find other record companies to negotiate acquisitions."
"Do you need my help to contact you?" Yitian Xun carefully observed Kang Jianfei's expression as he spoke.
Kang Jianfei smiled calmly and said: "No need, I already contacted the bosses of three companies before coming to Japan."
Yida Tatsumi asked: "I wonder which other two record companies are they?"
"This is a commercial secret, please forgive me for not being able to comment." Kang Jianfei said apologetically.
Yitian Tsumi originally thought that Kang Jianfei came to discuss the acquisition in person with the determination to win, so he refused in order to increase the acquisition price of Aibex.
Unexpectedly, Kang Jianfei didn't fall into the trap at all, and made it clear that he didn't have to buy Avex, which made Ita Tatsumi hit the cotton with a fierce punch.
Kang Jianfei is really not joking. If Yida Xun refuses to sell the shares of Ai Hui Music, he can just turn around and leave, and buy it with a Japanese record company.
More than ten years later, Yida Tatsumi is very familiar with the entertainment industry in Asia. He has even been invited to serve as a director of the Japan Film Industry Promotion Agency and the chairman of the Tokyo International Film Festival. But at this moment, Yida Tatsumi has no knowledge of the entertainment industry.
He was so enthusiastic that after Aibox reached a development bottleneck, he always wanted to sell his shares, but he couldn't find a suitable buyer.
Seeing that Kang Jianfei didn't take the bait, Yita Tatsumi stopped playing tricks and asked directly: "I have 57% of the shares of Aibex in my hand, how much does Mr. Kang plan to offer?"
"One price, 5 million US dollars." Kang Jianfei said.
Yida Tatsumi sat there and didn't know how to bargain. Avex was not a big company, so the record production company under it was more valuable. The shares in his hand were worth $3 million if sold.
Rich and willful!
Yitian Xun still wanted to raise the price, but seeing the smile on Kang Jianfei's face, he changed his mind and said: "Since Mr. Kang is so sincere, let's go for 3 million."
Two years ago, when Yida Tatsumi invested in Avex, he only invested 300,000 US dollars. In two years, the profit returned more than ten times. This investment was enough to make him proud. (It’s a pie-in-the-sky activity, cool.
