Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

Although I have some shares in Nanyang's theater chain, it's not what I decide.

After a pause, Shao Yifu tentatively said again: A Cun, wouldn't it be good for you to continue this cooperation with Nanyang Shaw Cinemas? If you are not satisfied with the distribution method, I can talk to them, and I will give you DreamWorks advice. Some.

Xu Cun looked directly at Shao Yifu, and said, Sixth Uncle, you should know that I am not short of these few dollars, so I will not buy Nanyang Shaw Cinemas just because of this money. The reason why I want to buy Nanyang Shaw Cinemas is Actually, I don’t want your juniors to give up the Nanyang market to Hollywood movies because of some meager benefits.”

Xu Cun's words are not groundless.

Among the countries in Southeast Asia, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia are the most important.

In fact, the Philippines used to be one of the largest foreign markets for Hong Kong films. However, with the eastward expansion of Hollywood films, the Philippines began to restrict the release of Hong Kong films the year before last, and gave the green light to Hollywood blockbusters. In just two years, Hong Kong films even It is due to the loss of the Philippine film market. In the early years, Hong Kong films dominated eight of the top ten annual box office in the Philippines, but now it is not bad to have one in the top ten in a year.

The Philippine film market has been lost, and there is no point in regretting it. What Xu Cun wants to ensure now is that the three important foreign film markets for Hong Kong films, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia, will not be lost.

Although Thailand also has its own films, although it has also introduced a bill to protect its films, but because Xu Cun started early enough and has a solid foundation, there is no possibility of losing it.

Singapore's geography is very similar to Xiangjiang, but its own film industry is very similar to Taiwan. It has always been a douchebag that cannot be supported, so it can only rely on foreign films to enjoy the spiritual enjoyment of the country's rich nationals—— Xu Cun is bound to win this film market.

Indonesia's economy has developed rapidly in recent years. As the most populous country in Southeast Asia, the Indonesian film market is about 5.6 billion Hong Kong dollars per year, while Hong Kong films contribute to Indonesia's box office of about 3.4 billion each year. Even Hollywood blockbusters are overwhelmed by Hong Kong movies in Indonesia——this market, Xu Cun can't lose it.

actually--

In recent years, Xu Cun has also built some multiplexes in Singapore and Indonesia.

but -

The location of these multiplex theaters cannot be compared with the Shaw Cinemas and Cathay Cinemas that have been operating for decades.

In addition, Xu Cun also found out that several film companies in Hollywood have already started contacting the descendants of Shao Yifu and the Lu family.

The descendants of the Lu family, like Shao Yifu's descendants, are keen on fast-paying businesses such as finance and real estate, and none of them like movies.

Therefore, Xu Cun came up with the idea of ​​acquiring Shaw Cinemas and Cathay Cinemas.

How could Shao Yifu not know that Xu Cun said that his younger generation might give up the Nanyang market to Hollywood movies because of some meager benefits? It is not impossible?

But Shao Yifu didn't give up his desire to make movies, so he didn't want to sell Nanyang Shaw Cinemas, because this was his hope to return to the movie market.

Seeing that Shao Yifu didn't speak, Xu Cun said lightly again: Uncle Six, I respect you, so I came to discuss with you in person... I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I have already finished talking with Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Lu has already He verbally agreed to sell Lu Family's Cathay Pacific Cinemas to me... With Cathay Pacific Cinemas and my multiplexes in Nanyang, I actually already have a complete Nanyang Cinemas, so, If I am willing, you Nanyang Shaw Cinemas will never get the right to screen any of Xiangjiang's films from now on...

Hearing this, Shao Yifu showed a trace of helplessness on his face—Shao ​​Yifu knew that Xu Cun was not trying to scare him. With Xu Cun's current power in Xiangjiang, especially in the Xiangjiang film industry, as long as Xu Cun opened his mouth, he would definitely be able to Let Nanyang Shaw Cinemas have no Hong Kong films to play!

Seeing that the expression on Shao Yifu's face changed, Xu Cun slowed down his voice and said, Sixth Uncle, in fact, I didn't need to talk to you about this matter. Although you are the only remaining elder of the Shao family, Nanyang Shao's You only account for less than 20% of the shares in the cinema chain, and you can't stop me from acquiring Nanyang Shaw Cinemas at all. The reason why I didn't let my acquisition team directly approach your juniors to discuss the acquisition of Nanyang Shaw Cinemas It is because I respect you old.

Hearing Xu Cun's words, the helplessness on Shao Yifu's face became more and more obvious-Shao Yifu understood that as long as Xu Cun was willing to spend an extra two to three hundred million yuan, his younger generations would definitely not worry about him, an old man, directly taking Nanyang Shao's Hospital Sell ​​it to Xu Cun!

Why!

Sighing lightly, Shao Yifu said: Forget it, Nanyang Shao Cinemas sold it to A Cun, I'll talk to them personally about it later.

Xu Cun smiled and said, Thank you, Sixth Uncle.

Shao Yifu said: Don't thank me in a hurry, I have one more condition.

Xu Cun smiled unchanged and said, Please tell me.

Shao Yifu said: Do you know about the Shaw Brothers and TV Broadcasting Co., Ltd. forming Metropolis Film Company?

Xu Cun nodded and said, The film company that Aunt Six is ​​in charge of.

Shao Yifu nodded and said: Yes... I have also made a few movies in the name of Metropolis in the past two years, but all of them were mediocre... A few days ago, I had a meal with your apprentice Zhou Xingchi. Talk about making three movies under the name of Metropolis.

Xu Cun said with a smile: Your old eyes are still so poisonous, you picked a good partner.

Shao Yifu smiled and said, It's just for fun. Immediately, Shao Yifu changed his tone and said, It's just fun, but I can't lose too badly, especially I can't lose to Zou Wenhuai and He Yuchang. Traitor... I heard that they are planning to shoot Super Cop, I am going to let Xingzi fight with them, and then, A Cun, you have to support me in the theater.

Xu Cun nodded and said, Okay, these three movies of you and Xingzai will be screened in DreamWorks theaters, and I will let someone try to distribute them overseas for you.

With Xu Cun's promise, Shao Yifu said with a smile: Okay, I will make the two traitors Zou Wenhuai and He Yuchang completely defeated this time... By the way, A Cun, are you busy in May or June? Miss Xiangjiang should be a judge, this year there are also a few good beauties, I have read the registration list, one named Zhou Jialing and one named Cai Shaofen are rare beauties.

Xu Cun shook his head and said, Forget it, I won't go. I got into a lot of trouble last time against gangsters, and if I show up again, I will easily be hated.

Hearing what Xu Cun said, Shao Yifu stopped persuading him.

At this moment, Tu Weihua knocked lightly on the door, then walked in and said, Mr. Xu, Ms. Yu Feihong and Yu urged you to preside over the opening ceremony of Jurassic Park...
