v3 Chapter 1033： Xia Yu's movie empire (four K big

() "Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter!

"Dad, the Galaxy Film Company invested in a Hollywood blockbuster and also sent local Chinese actors in. It was a gimmick. When the movie called "Alien E·T" is released next year, if we can't get the same Heavyweight movies are likely to be ugly to lose."

"So my idea is that we also cooperate with Hollywood giants to make a blockbuster to compete with Galaxy Films."

"As long as we defeat the Galaxy Film Company at that time, then the banner of our Shaw Brothers movie can not only be re-established, but also higher!"

Speaking of this, Shao Weiming could not help clenching his fists, feeling a little excited.

He has had enough of the oppression of Galaxy Film Company and Universal Cinemas. No matter how he resists, he will lose. The difference is that the loss is ugly and not ugly. This is a huge blow to a middle-aged man like him.

The Shao family established its foundation with film. Although now his career is no longer limited to the film industry, and even the film industry is not the only pillar of the entire Shaw family, he still wants to keep this banner.

He can fight a few more!

Shao Yifu frowned, and he felt his son's emotions.

"Tuk tu tu..."

Quickly tapping his fingers on the table, after thinking for a moment, Shao Yifu asked a key question: "Is it impossible to invest in Hollywood blockbusters. The key is that you can find suitable investment objects and channels?"

At any rate, he was also a person who has rushed to Hollywood several times, and he has also witnessed Wrinkle’s rush to Hollywood, but except for Bruce Lee’s time, there is no exception.

Shao Yifu knows very well that entering Hollywood is not so easy to enter, and it is useful if you have money.

Good projects have long been wiped out by the Hollywood giants. Where else can it be his turn?

Unexpectedly, Shao Weiming said confidently: "Dad, I really have a goal, and the prospects are good."

Shao Yifu's heart moved and he became interested: "What project?"

Shao Weiming said: "It is a film invested and distributed by Warner Bros., and at the beginning of the project, the goal was set to compete with MGM Pictures’ "Alien E·T" next year. The filming is officially scheduled to start on September 1. The film is called "". This is a science fiction film based on a well-known American novel "A Robot Dreams of an Electronic Sheep"..."

"We didn't have the opportunity, but the original main investor, filmways, withdrew due to problems with their own company management, which caused the plan to be disrupted. The producer of this film, Michael Dily, is my friend. The situation of our family also knows the competitive relationship between our family and Galaxy Film Company, so he contacted me and asked me if I was interested in investing, and besides our family, he told me that he also contacted two other people..."

Listening to his son's detailed statement, Shao Yifu's expression became more and more solemn, and he suddenly realized that this might really be an excellent opportunity.

In his perception, the strength of Warner Bros. is much stronger than MGM.

Since this "" is used to fight "Alien E·T", it will certainly not be bad, otherwise the money of Warner Bros. will be lost and the company's reputation will be compromised.

On the other hand, this movie is backed by Warner Bros., and with their powerful distribution capabilities, the box office of the movie "" should be almost gone.

If you take this opportunity to make Shaw Films and Warner Bros. fully online, then Shaw Cinemas can fully cooperate with Warner Bros., and the competition with Galaxy Films and Universal Cinemas will have greater confidence and strength... …

Thinking of the benefits of this series, Shao Yifu became more and more excited.

However, he also heard what his son said just now that the investment gap is huge, at least up to 100 million Hong Kong dollars in investment.

In the current situation of the Shao family, this amount of money is not a small sum. He does not invest in it as soon as he gets his head. At least he has to see it with his own eyes and make a judgment.

"Weiming, please contact your friend and see if you can meet me. If he can convince me, I will invest in this project."

Shao Weiming lifted his spirits and nodded immediately: "Dad, Michael Dili arrived at Xiangjiang yesterday. I have not left yet. I can contact him now."

"Okay, you can arrange it, I will meet him." Shao Yifu clapped.

A week later, in the afternoon of August 1...

Xia Yu was inspecting Jiuding Newspaper Company, but got unexpected news.

Thinking that he hadn't paid attention to the film and television industry for a long time, Xia Yu ordered someone to inform Jiang Zhiqiang and Wu Siyuan to come to his office.

"Siyuan, Xeon, sit down."

"Thank you, Chairman!"

After the two sat down, Xia Yu first asked Jiang Zhiqiang about the situation of the Global Cinemas.

"Xeon, come first, how many theaters are there in the theaters now?"

Jiang Zhiqiang struck his thoughts and reported to Xia Yuhui: “Chairman, in general, the number of theaters in Hong Kong and Macau has not changed, and the number of theaters in Southeast Asia has increased slightly. The UK, island countries, U.S. and Canadian markets."

"Not counting franchise theaters, just the direct-operated theaters that we own property. Now there are 26 theaters in Hong Kong and Macau, 188 in Southeast Asia, 72 in island countries, 365 in the United States, and the United Kingdom. Thirty-one and eighteen in Canada."

"Total these cinemas, now our company owns 700 cinemas, totaling 1,175 yuan for screens."

"Now in Hong Kong, Austria, and Southeast Asia, our global cinema line is the largest cinema line. In the island market, our global cinema line can be ranked 14th. In the US market, the number of theaters and screens we have has jumped to the top. the fifth place."

"..."

"good achievement."

After listening to Jiang Zhiqiang's detailed report, Xia Yu immediately commented, with a satisfied smile on his face.

The scale of the global theater line is the cornerstone of his movie empire, and it is also the confidence that his movie empire can break with other film giants.

Moreover, the global cinema is not his real strength. After all, one of the major domestic cinema giants in France is his. It is only involved in the French presidential election. In order to avoid suspicion, it has been secretly controlled by the British Bright Fund and has not been transferred to the Global Academy. Line flag.

"Continue to work hard, the company's scale has become larger, the difficulty of operation has also increased, and the output of a single screen should be increased as much as possible."

Seeing Jiang Zhiqiang's expression of joy, Xia Yu poured cold water on him again.

Jiang Zhiqiang suppressed his smile and nodded solemnly, "Chairman, I will continue to work hard."

"Ok!"

Xia Yu smiled and nodded, then looked at Wu Siyuan.

"Siyuan, what's the situation with Galaxy Films?"

Wu Siyuanhui reported: "Chairman, last year's annual report has been reported to you at the beginning of the year. I won't repeat it, mainly to report to you the situation this year."

"As of yesterday, we have produced and released a total of eleven movies, which ranks second in Hong Kong in production, Jiahe Films ranks third with seven, and Shaw Films still ranks first in production, with a total of seventeen films released. Movies."

"Only in terms of total box office, we are the highest. The total box office in Hong Kong is 70.6 million Hong Kong dollars. The average local box office of a single movie is 6.41 million Hong Kong dollars, far exceeding the second place Jiahe and No. Three Shaw Brothers."

"Of the movies that have been released this year, the top five at the box office are produced by our company, and seven of the top ten movies are our company."

"..."

As Wu Siyuan continued to tell, the detailed image of Galaxy Films as the leading film company in Hong Kong and Asia appeared in Xia Yu's mind.

And because Wu Siyuan will be interspersed with the comparison between Jiahe and Shaw Brothers' films when he talks, Xia Yu also understands the current pattern of the film market.

There is no doubt that Shao Yifu has not completely given up on the film market. It can be seen from the Shaw Film Company that on average more than two films are released a month.

From this amazing output, it can be seen that the Shaw Films company has accumulated for decades. Without enough people behind the scenes, it is impossible to support such a large output of Shaw Films.

It’s just that the output belongs to the output, and the quality belongs to the quality. Despite the high output of Shaw Brothers movies, the average single box office is far inferior to the Galaxy Film Company, which focuses on "produced by Galaxy, must be a boutique", and inferior to the Jiahe Films that Haogang uses on the blade. the company.

"Yifu Shao went to the doctor in a sudden illness. Too many bad movies will only destroy the Shaw Film Company's sign faster."

After Wu Siyuan finished speaking, Xia Yu said with a smile.

Wu Siyuan took the conversation and said: "Yes, I also let people deliberately guide. Now that the Shaw Film Company has shaped the image of a bad film, the Shao family must know this."

"It's just that our film company has been producing hot movies. Even if the Shaw Brothers Film Company produces high-quality movies, it will not pose a big threat to us. The Shao family can only use this trick. Without this trick, Shaw Film Company Not landing faster."

Xia Yu smiled and nodded, agreeing with Wu Siyuan's statement.

If you don’t do this, you will die faster. If you do it like this, you can occasionally come back and slow down the decline of the Shaw Film Company and buy some time.

It is a pity that Galaxy Films has made almost no mistakes, and Shaw Films has not succeeded.

Wu Siyuan suddenly said with a serious expression: "However, Chairman, just now, Shaw Pictures held a press conference with great fanfare and announced that it had reached a cooperation with Warner Bros. Pictures of the United States and would invest 150 million Hong Kong dollars in a co-production. For Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters, Shaw Films has changed its strategy."

Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "It's rare for Shao Yifu to have such a big hand. He is planning to target our "Alien E·T" next year."

Wu Siyuan said solemnly, "The chairman, should we talk to the American side about how to check the quality?"

It can be seen that Wu Siyuan is not calm in the face of Shao Yifu's huge investment of 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

Xia Yu wanted to comfort him and didn't care, after all, Xia Yu knew that "Alien E·T" would sweep the world.

But he changed his mind to worry Wu Siyuan, and it could stimulate his motivation.

So he nodded slightly and agreed: "You can contact Barry Diller and Shirley Lansing more, but don't interfere with Steven Spielberg's shooting, and focus more on Asia."

"You still need to be **** your own, and focus more on your own business. For example, as you just said, among the movies that have been released now, our company’s films occupy the top five in the box office. This is a good result, but why? Ten occupy seven?"

"There are still five months left at the end of this year. After these five months have passed, can you sweep the entire list?"

Wu Siyuan took a deep breath and nodded his head: "Chairman, I understand what you mean, and I will continue to work hard to give you good news at the end of the year."

Xia Yu smiled and nodded.

...

After chatting for a while, Wu Siyuan and Jiang Zhiqiang left one after another.

Xia Yu drank tea and thought of the "" filmed by Shaw Brothers and Warner Bros. The previous life in Hong Kong should have been translated as "Blade Runner". This movie was later regarded by many science fiction fans as the greatest science fiction film, but In history, it has been on the street, and the global box office has just exceeded the investment cost.

The 150 million Hong Kong dollars invested by Shao Yifu only recovered less than 40 million Hong Kong dollars, and the loss exceeded 100 million.

In this life, because of his Galaxy Film Company, Shaw Film Company's situation is very difficult.

And because the television field was suppressed by his Global Satellite TV, Shao Yifu did not make any money in the television field.

Today, the strength of the Shao family has not grown much, but has shrunk.

Shao Yifu can still put out 150 million Hong Kong dollars to make a movie. It will not be easy, it can be said that it is desperate.

"It doesn't matter if you work hard, you will be able to recognize reality even more after a big somersault..."

After thinking about it, Xia Yu chuckled, then stopped paying attention to the matter, and put his mind back on this plan.

When the market was about to close on this day, a news released by the Shi Yahuai family spread across the four major exchanges.

The Shi Yahuai Family Foundation disclosed that it holds 16.4% of the equity of Swire Industrial Group.

In addition, the HeungKong Swire Group's 33.7% stake in Swire Industrial Group.

The Shi Yahuai family's equity control over Swire Industrial Group has reached 50.1%!

Over 50% of the relative holding line!

Shi Yahuai’s announcement of the news is obvious. This is a declaration of sovereignty over the Swire Industrial Group, and it is also telling everyone that the Swire Industrial Group cannot be taken away!

As soon as the news was announced, the stock market shook, and the upward momentum of Swire Group's stock price suddenly stopped and the stock price fluctuated sharply.

Fortunately, when the time came to the closing point, the four major exchanges were officially closed, which fixed the stock price of Swire Industrial Group at 29.64 Hong Kong dollars per share and the market value at more than 8.45 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Jiuding Securities Company.

Looking at Song Bo, who was somewhat discouraged and unwilling, Xia Yu smiled and comforted: "Mr. Song, don't worry, the outcome of this war is too early!"

Song Bo thought Xia Yu was comforting himself He forced a smile and said, "Mr. Xia, you don't have to comfort me."

"You have helped me increase Swire Industrial Group's shareholding to 44.32%. This has exceeded my expectations, but I was far from the Shi Yahuai family at the beginning. This is a non-war. crime."

Xia Yu's smile remained the same, his voice was soft but loud and loud: "Mr. Song, the next one is still the same. You can pay for it, and I will fix the equity for you. You can continue to watch it later."

"Not only Swire Industrial Group, Swire Commerce Group also does the same!"

"I'm afraid you will regret not having enough money!"

Song Bo was taken aback, and suddenly looked at Xia Yu, in a daze, he seemed to see a white light shrouded in Xia Yu's body.
