Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

Just two weeks after Zou Huaiwen left Shaw Brothers, major newspapers reported the news on their headlines.

Flower Planting Newspaper

[Former Shaw Brothers Vice President Zou Huaiwen left Shaw Brothers and founded Golden Harvest Films! ]

"Sing Tao Daily"

[Shaw Brothers’ salary is too low, forcing the former deputy general manager to leave! ]

"Ming Pao"

[Zou Huaiwen founded Golden Harvest Films. Will the waves behind push the waves ahead, or will the waves ahead hold up the waves behind? Let us wait and see! ]

On a bus on the streets of Kowloon, Hong Kong Island.

A group of people were discussing,

"Do you think Shaw's salary is really low? The deputy general manager even ran away to work on his own because of the low salary." said an old man.

"I know this!" An old lady stood up and said, "My nephew works at Shaw Brothers. He told me that Shaw Brothers is very stingy and the salary they give is not enough to live on."

"Oh, your nephew is an actor! What movies has he acted in?" asked a young girl.

"That's too much..." The auntie talked on and on for a long time before everyone realized that he was just a supporting actor!

……

……

Inside the Zhonghua Building, Zhang Weiguo was reading today's newspaper, deep in thought.

After a moment, Zhang Weiguo picked up the phone next to him.

"Xingze, do you have time?"

"Boss, if you call me in person, you must have time!" Xia Xingze replied with a smile.

"Okay, come plant some flowers in my office later. I have something to tell you."

"Okay boss, I'll be there in a minute!"

15 minutes later, Xia Xingze came to Zhang Weiguo's office.

"Dong dong..."

"Come in~"

"boss!"

"Xingze is here, find a place to sit!"

After Xia Xingze sat down, Zhang Weiguo asked Lin Qing to hand him today's newspaper.

"Xingze, have you read today's newspaper?"

"Boss, you forgot that the daily edition of the Flower Planting Newspaper has to be reviewed by me!"

Zhang Weiguo felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Xia Xingze said, but he said stubbornly, "Just watch it if I tell you to!"

"profound……"

Xia Xingze quickly glanced through the several newspapers handed to him by Zhang Weiguo.

Zhang Weiguo said: "How is it, have you found anything?"

Xia Xingze thought for a moment and said, "Boss, are you talking about Zou Huaiwen leaving Shaw?"

"Yes, what do you think about this matter?"

After hearing Zhang Weiguo's question, Xia Xingze thought for a long time and replied, "Boss, I think Zou Huaiwen thinks Shaw's salary is too low!"

Although the Zhonghua Group does not have any film and television business, it has many cinema chains under its umbrella and is familiar with the film and television industry.

The salary at Shaw Brothers was indeed low, and it was probably true that Zou Huaiwen left because of this.

"Well... then what do you think about our Flower Planting Group entering the film and television industry?"

Zhang Weiguo initially had the idea of ​​entering the film and television industry, but later gave up the idea because he was not familiar with this area.

Zhang Weiguo's initial plan was to acquire a large number of cinema chains and invest only in movies rather than film and television companies.

In Zhang Weiguo's view, whoever controls the cinema chains controls the most important voice in film and television distribution. If they don't count it, it will be considered as hoarding land, and Founder will not suffer losses.

Secondly, although Zhang Weiguo loved watching movies in his previous life, he didn’t care about the production company behind them. He was the typical person who only cared about the movie and not the company, director or anything like that.

The only directors Zhang Weiguo is familiar with is Zhang Shemou, and he is really not sure about the others.

But when it comes to good movies, Zhang Weiguo knows a lot, and investing in these films will definitely not be a loss.

"Boss, I'm not very familiar with filmmaking. If you want to enter the film and television industry, it's best to find someone in a related field."

"Hmm..." Zhang Weiguo was not surprised by Xia Xingze's words. It was okay to let Xia Wenzhe be the editor-in-chief and manage a newspaper company, but it might be a bit difficult for him to make a movie.

Zhang Weiguo thought for a while and said to Xia Xingze, "Xingze, you can set up a Zhonghua Film Company under Zhonghua Newspaper to invest in the company. We will only invest in films and will not participate in the filming ourselves."

"Boss, I can set up the company, but you need to appoint the management personnel of the company."

"Don't worry about this. I will send someone personally later."

"That's good!"

After Xia Xingze left, Zhang Weiguo lowered his head and thought about the more famous movies in his previous life.

The first movie that came to Zhang Weiguo's mind was "The Godfather". If Zhang Weiguo's memory is correct, this movie was released in 1972. It seems to have been directed by an A-mei director. Zhang Weiguo is not sure about the exact box office, but it must have reached 70 billion US dollars or more. It can make a lot of money.

"Well, write this down in a notebook, and ask Lin Qing to contact Amei's director as soon as possible to see if there is still room for investment."

After Zhang Weiguo wrote "The Godfather" in the notebook, he continued to search in his mind.

"Star Wars", vote!

"Jaws", vote!

"Titanic" is a must-see!

James Cameron, the director of "Titanic", is one of the few directors whose name Zhang Weiguo knows, and the movie "Titanic" is indeed awesome.

Half an hour later, Zhang Weiguo already had many profitable movies on his schedule.

From Hong Kong movies to Hollywood movies, we have them all!

correct!

Marvel!

Marvel currently only exists in comics and has not yet entered the film and television industry. If I were to find Marvel now and directly obtain the film and television adaptation rights, it should be easy.

Moreover, recently Amei has been making a fuss about the harmfulness of comics, and some of the violent comics on the Zhihua Comics site have also had an impact.

Marvel must be having a hard time right now, and it should be able to be acquired at a lower price.
