With the arrival of seven o'clock, Alien officially began to be released in Hong Kong. At the same time, it also began to be released in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia.
Li Guangyu watched the whole movie in the front row with Lei Juekun, Run Run Shaw, Xiang Huaqiang and others.
This is a movie with comedy features. A simple and cute little alien develops a short, warm, sincere and touching friendship with an innocent earth child.
After the movie ended, Wrinkle Huai said: Li Sheng, congratulations, your Jiayi investment this time will bring you generous returns.
As someone who has been in the film industry for decades, he naturally knows which movies can be hot-sellers. These movies are not even good for himself after watching, let alone the children, and often this is the largest group, and they will watch them.
It is very suitable for the whole family to watch movies when accompanied by family members.
And it can be seen from the fact that they chose to release it during this time period. It is summer and this movie will definitely be a big seller.
Li Guangyu said politely: This is also my luck. I originally asked Jiayi Film Company to invest in a film there to try out the waters. Unexpectedly, they were able to contact Mr. Spielberg, and this is how we became a shareholder.
movie situation.
Wrinkle Huai obviously didn't believe what Li Guangyu said. Without the help of the top management of the Li Group, it would have been impossible for Jiayi Film Company to contact Steve Spielberg. He had been working hard in the United States for many years and was deeply aware of it.
I know how difficult it is to work with these famous directors.
After the movie ended, Li Guangyu, Lei Juekun and others did not leave separately, but went to the Peninsula Hotel. Run Run Shaw needed to discuss something with them.
Run Run Shaw has been making a lot of moves recently. His TVB and Qiu Degen's ATV have already become satellite TVs. This does not seem to satisfy Shaw. Although he has withdrawn from the Hong Kong film industry, he still seems to be unable to let go of his film career.
.
Not satisfied with winning an Academy Award, he bought the Film Fortnight some time ago. Today, I don’t know what Run Run Shaw wants to discuss when he invites film bosses like them to come over.
In a box at the Peninsula Hotel, Run Run Shaw said: Thank you all for giving me face and being able to come here. I invite you here today because I want to discuss something with you. I hope you can support my proposal.
Then Run Run Shaw expressed his thoughts. This time he was planning to establish an artist association to protect the rights of artists in Hong Kong.
Li Guangyu, Qiu Degen and Wrinkle Huaiji were very puzzled by this. When did Run Run Shaw care about the interests of artists? This is a big joke.
After seeing the expressions of Li Guangyu and others, Lei Juekun said to those present: Run Run Shaw and I discussed Guangyu's establishment of an artist association, and I support it. You also know that with the prosperity of the Hong Kong film industry, some
People on the road also stepped in, but these people did not follow the rules very well. They used coercion and threats against some actors and threatened them to accept the film, which seriously disrupted the Hong Kong film market.
Xiang Huaqiang didn't say anything about this. Just because his own company can abide by the rules does not mean that other societies will abide by the rules. Many societies just want to take advantage of the current good market to come in and make a fortune, and will not take into account other things.
Wrinkle Huai said: Sixth brother, Juekun, since this is the case, our establishment of this artist association will have no effect. This situation is not something we can solve.
As bosses, they don't like those associations and labor unions, which are not good for them. Many times these are established to restrict them, and Wrinkle Huai naturally has no interest in them.
Run Run Shaw said: The next thing is the key point. You three are the controllers of the Xiangjiang Cinema Chain. Even if there are some sporadic theaters, they will not make a difference. After the Artists Association is established, if these artists are forced and threatened by certain companies,
As long as it is held to our association, as long as it is true, we will jointly block this film company so that this film company will have no foothold in Hong Kong. This will also be good for the development of your film company. After all, these companies disrupt the market and compete with everyone.
It's hurt.
Li Guangyu didn't care about this. No association in Xiangjiang dared to force members of his Jiayi Artist Company to film.
Li Guangyu said: Uncle Sixth and Uncle Lei, who do you plan to chair the Artists Association? None of us are suitable to manage this association. We are all the bosses of the artists and we cannot represent their interests.
The main reason why Run Run Shaw and Lei Juekun proposed to establish an artist association was to expand their own influence. With the development of several years, the advantages of radio stations are gradually disappearing. In many cases, even ATV cannot suppress them.
.
The reason lies in the artists. Li Guangyu and Qiu Degen are really not afraid of spending money. In the past, TVB had its own artist class, and now three companies have it. Moreover, Jiayi and ATV have higher remuneration than TVB, which has made TVB in recent years
There is a gap in talent training.
New Art City is now tied up with Wireless, and the two companies cooperate very closely. The personnel gap at Wireless has also had a great impact on New Art City.
They hope that the establishment of an artist association this time will, firstly, give them a good reputation, and secondly, it can also attract a group of artists to promote the development of Wireless and New Art City.
As for the Artists Association coming to cause inconvenience to them, that is simply impossible. They only need obedient people to take charge. As for those with ideas, it is impossible to become the management of the association.
Run Run Shaw said: Guangyu, what do you think about Guan Shan serving as the president of the Artists Association?
I still know about Li Guangyu, who was a hit star in the 1960s. Moreover, his daughter will be even more famous than him in the future. Guan Jiahui is also known as Rosamund Kwan, and now she is also a TVB artist.
It doesn't matter to Li Guangyu himself. Anyway, the artists under him are currently receiving good treatment and they won't come to cause him any trouble. Since Run Run Shaw and Lei Juekun want to set up an artists association, they can do whatever they want with Jiayi.
The group has no influence on him.
Li Guangyu expressed his support, and Wrinkle Huai himself had no objections. Wrinkle Huai was the most dissatisfied with some groups coming in to disrupt the film market in Hong Kong. He hoped that the film industry in Hong Kong would develop better and better, and these film companies were obviously Xiangjiang.
They are moths in the film industry. Their long-term existence has caused considerable damage to the Hong Kong film industry.
Although after the establishment of the artists' association, there may be some restrictions on their film companies in the future, this is also inevitable. There are some associations in all walks of life. Hong Kong is not a precedent in this regard. It has been in some other areas for a long time. Even if
If it doesn't happen now, it will happen sooner or later in the future.
Run Run Shaw was obviously very happy to see everyone here agreeing to his proposal. This will play a huge role in deepening his influence in the Hong Kong film and television industry.
He knows that he is unlikely to be able to control this association, but Wireless is still very useful to him. When he needs talents, he can also see if there are any leaks in the association.
Run Run Shaw smiled and said: Don't worry, the establishment of this association will definitely not hinder the development of your company.
