Director of Rebirth of Xiangjiang

Chapter 106 Company Status

This made him very anxious, and he was powerless to deal with the instructions given by Zhao Hong, so he had to work on other aspects. Therefore, he directly invited his good friend Wang Jin. This little fat guy was an expert in making commercial films, and he was also a quick shooter.

Less than two months after joining the company, he directed a romantic comedy movie "Flower Heart", which has now been released, and the box office is not bad.

Zhao Hong did not reject commercial films. The reason he supported literary films was that there were too few literary films in Xiangjiang. Most directors in Xiangjiang made commercial films. A film market without literary films is unhealthy and soulless. is empty.

He also wants to make literary and commercial films, and he wants to experiment with both genres.

Cinemas have also developed well during this period. DreamWorks has directly prepared a large amount of funds to expand cinemas, and now it has acquired three more cinemas in Hong Kong.

Zhao Hong does not plan to add more theaters in Xiangjiang. In one year, the ten buildings of DreamWorks will be completed, and a theater will be renovated in each building. The total number will be 23, which will be able to cover the entire population in Xiangjiang.

The external development is very rapid. In Southeast Asia, more than [-] theaters have been acquired, and there are five in Singapore. Countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam have all built their own projects, and the projects are all contracted to local real estate developers.

Zhao Hong plans to acquire or build theaters in Southeast Asia. Eventually, there will be at least [-] theaters. This will not include South Korea and Japan, and will eventually form a multinational giant theater chain. As for Europe and the United States, it will slowly develop in the future.

Japan is a country that is not easy to start with. Their local companies are relatively xenophobic. Zhao Hong’s plan is to invest in a local theater chain. As for South Korea, it is even more difficult to enter. It is impossible to build a theater chain there. To be able to do the same as in Japan, all you need to do is invest in it.

Xiangjiang's current movies are very popular in Southeast Asia, but they are rootless duckweed, and can only be sold at high prices with big-name stars, which is very abnormal.

If there is any turmoil in the market, the external market will easily collapse. In the original time and space, Xiangjiang Films would lose the external market, and then go downhill.

Of course, it is also inseparable from their death, although this is a small part of the reason.

Mainly due to the rise of films in Southeast Asian countries, take South Korea as an example. Their films officially emerged in the 90s, and many wonderful filmmakers emerged. However, Hong Kong lacks talents, lacks stamina, declines in film quality, and lacks innovation capabilities. Know how to plagiarize Hollywood scenes.

Zhao Hong wants to ensure the strong distribution capabilities of her film company through theater channels.

He didn't want his own film company to decline after Xiangjiang Films declined in the future.

Zhao Hong still remembers that around the turn of the millennium, filmmakers from Xiangjiang went north to make a living. She thought they were uncles and was very discriminatory towards their mainland counterparts. She couldn't get her mentality right. The result was that many Xiangjiang directors could not capture the mainland. The taste of the audience has caused one movie after another to hit the market, and mainland film and television companies have risen rapidly.

Finally, Xiangjiang Film and Television Company had no say at all in the mainland, and many mainland film and television companies eventually stopped taking them to play.

In their view, these companies have no use value at all.

Zhao Hong is also helpless against the decline of Xiangjiang movies. It is a miracle that Xiangjiang can produce many classic movies in the 90s and [-]s. Talents are moving northward one after another, and the loss of talents is doomed to its decline.

The management of DreamWorks Cinemas is now fully entrusted to Cen Jianxun. The cinema is not just as simple as showing movies, it is also a sales channel for DreamWorks toys.

Now DreamWorks Games is the most profitable company in DreamWorks. Last year, it only developed one game, Great Wall of Cubes. Up to now, it has made a net profit of [-] million US dollars. In the case of a single game, if there are several games If so, it is definitely DreamWorks' most profitable company.

Zhao Hong inspected the game company and provided another idea, that is "Street Fighter", this game is a long-lived game, and it is very classic.

It is a fighting stand-alone game series first launched in 1987 by the Japanese company CAPCOM.

It has produced many games in this series, such as the first generation of "Street Fighter", "Street Fighter 2" series, "Street Fighter Junior" series, "Street Fighter 3" series, "Street Fighter 4" series, "Street Fighter 5" series, in addition to the "Street Fighter EX" series, "Street Fighter Online" and other unorthodox game series and so on.

In addition, animation, movies, comics, etc. are also derived, which can be said to be a gold mine. There are still more than three years before it appears, and it is a good time to officially plagiarize.

The manager of DreamWorks Game Company is a Japanese. His name is Saburo Inobe. He is the first batch of employees recruited by DreamWorks in Japan. He is flexible, serious and skilled.

Therefore, Zhao Hong was promoted to the manager of the game company, and the company's first game was developed under his leadership.

His innovation ability may be a bit lacking, but his execution ability is very good. The company has just been established, and Zhao Hong has no illusions that any big company will take over his company. He is very satisfied with having such a talent. There is no such thing in Xiangjiang. In the soil where game companies survive, there are very few talents who play games.

A lot of Japanese people left one after another when they heard that Xiangjiang Company was recruiting. Only some people were so excited by the high salary that they were reluctant to stay.

Now Saburo Inobe admires Zhao Hong very much. Originally, they were assigned to develop a low-difficulty game when they first came. They still honestly made it according to the requirements. Unexpectedly, after they developed it, they tried it out and couldn't stop.

He immediately felt that the game was going to be popular, and as expected, the game was well received by the players as soon as it hit the market.

When Zhao Hong proposed the idea of ​​"Street Fighter", he immediately felt that it was very interesting, so he took the lead in developing this game himself, and took the time to develop it.

In the end, Dreamworks Investment Company, Zhao Hong and Yuan Tianfan communicated in person. He heard Yuan Tianfan's investment direction and philosophy, and he felt very good. Zhao Hong was shocked by many of his speculations. For example, he said that Cheung Kong is worth holding shares for a long time After that, he ordered a few more companies, all of which are giant companies in Xiangjiang in the future.

It can be seen from the side that his investment vision is very good, but of course it is not perfect. For example, he does not know much about technology stocks.

Zhao Hong gave him some instructions, such as buying stocks in companies such as Apple, Cisco, and Microsoft, and also told him to pay more attention to technology companies in Silicon Valley in the United States, and to report to himself at any time.

It is impossible for Zhao Hong to know at once which company in Silicon Valley will become a big company in the future. Only after contacting it can he combine it with his past life memories to judge whether this company has development potential.

Just like this, it’s almost the end of March. Now the company’s situation is basically clear.
Zhao Hong estimates that the monthly net profit of the entire group is about [-] million Hong Kong dollars, which is even more profitable than real estate development. Of course, its potential is still not as big as real estate.

Zhao Hong remembered that in the original time and space, there was a building in Xiangjiang that collected a rent of one billion Hong Kong dollars a year.
