The Hong Kong film market performed very well at the end of 95 and the beginning of 96, but after the Spring Festival passed, the situation of the film off-season in March, April and May made practitioners feel very worried. Looking at a book? ???· １?ＫＡＮＳＨＵ·ＣＯＭ

In addition to the outbreak of Ang Lee's "Horse Racing" in June, the Hong Kong films in the past few months have been good in "Hudumen" and "The Adventure King". As for other normal films, there are not even those with a box office of more than 8 million. One of the abnormal movies sold more than 8 million, that is, the 3.-level film "X Futon" produced by Wang Jing and directed by Qian Wenqi.

Well, Shu Qi finally made her official debut, and she was so popular that she released a full luo photo.

I heard that Ni Frame likes it very much, not only bought a full set of Shu Qi's photos, but also collected the movie videotapes, VCDs, and DVDs of "X Futon", which is the rhythm of hardcore fans.

In the summer season, the star-studded "big production" doesn't seem to be able to impress the audience.

Zhang Guorong, Anita Mui, Yuan Yongyi, Liu Jialing, Zhou Huajian, Zhang Daming, Chen Xiaochun, Zeng Zhiwei, Li Qihong and other stars joined "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves 2", the publicity was overwhelming, but the box office was only 20.91 million.

The producer of this film is UFO, although it won the box office championship for two consecutive weeks in the summer file, but unfortunately there are too many stars and too much investment, and it is impossible to recover the production cost at all, so you can only hope for the overseas box office.

It's a pity that it is difficult to see results at the overseas box office in the short term, and two years ago, UFO, which had unlimited scenery, suffered serious losses in three consecutive films, and investors also lost confidence in it. As the bosses, Zeng Zhiwei, Chen Kexin and Zhong Zhen, the original vigorous creative soul began to gradually extinguish, although UFO did not officially announce its disbandment, it is no longer possible to continue to make films in the short term.

Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Kexin want to return to Oriental DreamWorks, but unfortunately the most important thing in Hong Kong today is to engage in movies??? ?? ?? To see? Books Books? ·1 K A?N SHU COM DreamWorks is fiercely competitive, and there is no place for them at all, so they can only go around to pick up some small-cost films to make a living.

In the end, they discussed an idea, using Teresa Teng's death last year as a selling point, to write a script called "Sweet Honey", and finally attracted investment on Golden Harvest. However, although the production team of this film comes from UFO, the film copyright can only be owned by Golden Harvest, and Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Kexin have completely become wage earners.

Also unlucky is Huang Baiming, a former figure in Hong Kong films, who has been frying cold rice in recent years, and the company has shown continuous losses. The Xincheng Cinema Line, which he co-founded, finally announced its dissolution after the films screened in the summer hit the streets (several of its major cinemas were merged into the Xinbao Cinema Line), and Huang Baiming's Xincheng Pictures also announced its closure.

The movie boss Huang Baiming has died, leaving only screenwriter Huang Baiming and actor Huang Baiming.

At the same time, the dissolution of the New Town Cinema Line marked the beginning of a cold winter period for the Hong Kong cinema industry, and then the new generation of cinemas (formerly known as Yonggao Cinemas) also disappeared silently.

As a result, there are only four cinema chains left in Hong Kong, namely Golden Harvest, Xinbao, Jinsheng and Dongfang. Among them, Jiahe Cinema is Zou Wenhuai's, Oriental Cinema is Kang Jianfei's, and Xinbao and Jinsheng Cinema are controlled by Chen Rongmei.

After the end of the summer vacation, because the theater business was really not good, Chen Rongmei had to make adjustments. He merged Jinsheng into Xinbao and eliminated redundant small theaters to reverse the loss-making situation.

At this moment, there is finally a three-legged stand, and there are only three cinema companies left in Hong Kong: Golden Harvest, Xinbao and Dongfang.

The bleak situation of the cinema industry has made Hong Kong filmmakers very pessimistic, this is the rhythm of returning to its original shape, and the Hong Kong film industry has basically returned to 15 years ago.

Hong Kong will return to China next year, and the Xiang brothers are also beginning to find a way out.

In this year's summer file, Yongsheng and DreamWorks jointly invested in a "New Shanghai Beach", starring in addition to Zhang Guorong and Liu Dehua, but also specially invited the newly popular Tranquility in the mainland.

Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng plan to gradually show favor to the central government, and even deliberately weaken Yongsheng Film Company, but focus on "China Star Group".

Chinese Star, Chinese Heart...... The meaning is self-evident, and it is already a public expression of heart.

China Star Group was listed in the summer of this year, becoming the second Hong Kong film group to be listed after Golden Harvest, and it owns the copyright of all the works of Yongsheng Company.

I have to say that the Xiang brothers played a good move. When Hong Kong returned to China next year, the stock prices of many companies, including Golden Harvest, plummeted, but the shares of China Star soared, rising from 82 yuan to 206 yuan in a month, an increase of 151.85%.

This is the benefit of pretending to be a grandson.

……

Just when the Hong Kong film industry was about to enter a cold winter, real estate prodigy Luo Zhaohui was also facing a career winter.

Dongfanghong Group is holding an interim board meeting.

Since the name of this group is Dongfanghong, it must be pro-mainland.

Because it can't be inextricably linked, Dongfanghong's main business is Chinese herbal medicines, including proprietary Chinese medicines and Chinese herbal medicines, which need to be purchased in large quantities in the mainland every year.

Luo Zhaohui made his fortune by speculating in real estate, and under the guidance of Da Liu, he entered the stock market and became a billionaire. He also knew that opportunism was not a long-term solution, so he made a hostile takeover of Dongfanghong Group two years ago, became the helmsman of this group, and began to develop into the industrial field.

Now most of Luo Zhaohui's property is smashed in Dongfanghong Group, which has become the foundation of his career.

Recently, Dongfanghong has been in trouble, and two batches of medicinal materials were seized when they left the mainland for customs clearance, saying that they had found some prohibited items.

"What do the people below eat! A little thing is worth holding a board meeting? Luo Zhaohui has reason to be angry, he just made a small profit in the stock market, and he is playing yacht celebration with his new celebrity girlfriend Sun Jiajun.

went to sea on a yacht together, as well as three other female stars. Luo Zhaohui was playing a crazy 5P battle at sea, he swallowed two blue pills in a row, and he didn't want to vent it for five or six hours.

But at this moment, the secretary called more than ten times in a row, asking him to hurry back to the company to attend the extraordinary board meeting. Until Luo Zhaohui came to the conference room, he was still hard and painful.

One shareholder said: "I went to the mainland a few days ago and have already inquired clearly. This time, the group's medicinal materials were detained because a certain shareholder offended someone, and someone maliciously concealed drugs in the medicinal materials. ”

"Who has offended? Go and solve it for me quickly! Luo Zhaohui patted the table and said.

The other shareholders and directors seemed to have passed their anger in advance, and they all looked at Luo Zhaohui with a sneer at this moment, although no one spoke, the situation was already self-evident.

"Am I offended?" Luo Zhaohui said with a smile.

The previous shareholder said: "When I invited a mainland friend to dinner, he only revealed one word. ”

"What word?" Luo Zhaohui asked.

"Kang." Shareholders said.

"Kang Jianfei?" Luo Zhaohui instantly understood, and turned angry, "Bite his mother, Lao Tzu didn't succeed, can you use it so ruthlessly?" ”

Under the pressure of other board members, Luo Zhaohui called Weng Hong several times, saying that he wanted to invite Mr. Kang Jianfei to dinner, but the other party told him with a good attitude every time: Sorry, Mr. Kang is not available!

The next morning, the Hong Kong Financial Daily published a headline: Dongfanghong Group was suspected of transporting drugs, and two batches of medicinal materials had been seized indefinitely.

When the news came out, the stock price of Dongfanghong Group plummeted, and Luo Zhaohui's net worth shrank by one-eighth in two hours. (To be continued.) )
