Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

As everyone imagined-the best original film song undoubtedly fell on Xu Cun's head, and fell on the head of "The Original Scenery of Hometown".

Honestly--

For this award, Xu Cun doesn't care too much - first of all, Xu Cun, who has already made a big name in the world, really doesn't like the Golden Statue Award, let alone the small award of Best Original Film Song? Secondly, "The Original Scenery of Hometown" was not created by Xu Cun, and Xu Cun did not have the slightest sense of accomplishment when he presented the award to Xu Cun.

but--

After all, the Golden Statue Award is sponsored by Xu Cun, of course Xu Cun cannot ruin the Golden Statue Award!

Therefore, as the first person to receive the award on stage, Xu Cun acted very solemnly - after receiving the trophy handed over by Mr. Yi Wen, a famous musician, Xu Cun first shook hands with Mr. Yi Wen, and then rushed down the stage and said loudly : "As the first filmmaker to win the Golden Image Award, I am very honored, really honored, because I am very likely to be recorded in the history of Xiangjiang movies, and even the history of world movies because of this award! Thanks to the Golden Image Award The organizer awarded such an important award to me..."

After delivering his acceptance speech, Xu Cun shook the trophy in his hand, and then walked off the podium.

With Xu Cun, a very high-ranking person, all other filmmakers became serious about the Academy Awards, so that the Academy Awards Ceremony became a veritable film festival.

Judging from the awards, it is not an exaggeration to use the word "sweeping" to describe "Dao Ma Dan".

but--

Few people complain about this-"Dao Ma Dan" is indeed powerful, and it has won international awards, so no one would think that there is a problem with "Dao Ma Dan" winning so many awards.

Besides, since there are so many awards in the Academy Awards, each family can gain something.

To take a step back, even if you didn't win an award, you still got a lot of nominations.

All in all, the first Academy Awards went well.

Therefore, most of the people who came to participate in the Academy Awards attended the Academy Awards dinner after the Awards.

Of course, this does not include Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun, Zhang Youxin, Zhong Yijie, Liao Yiyuan and other top figures in the Hong Kong film industry - their participation in the Academy Awards is enough to give the organizers of the Awards face. Can you still expect them to lower their identities to have fun with the people?

Unlike Shao Yifu and others, Xu Cun also participated in the Golden Image Awards Dinner——Xu Cun’s participation in the Academy Awards Dinner was not because Xu Cun’s current status was inferior to Shao Yifu’s and others, but because Xu Cun wanted to be at the Academy Awards Dinner. Find someone online to talk about something.

...

Like the Oscars dinner, the Academy Awards dinner is a Western-style reception, with long tables and round tables, where everyone can sit and drink and eat Western food, or they can run around with wine glasses and take the opportunity to find someone to connect with.

There is also a small stage in the banquet hall, on which are printed the advertising trademarks of various products, and some celebrities who have won awards appear on the stage one after another, posing in poses for the reporters to take pictures.

Under Shu Qi's introduction, Xu Cun met the person he wanted to see——Yuan Bifu.

The proprietor of Taiping Theater is Yuan Xingqiao, and Yuan Bifu is Yuan Xingqiao's granddaughter and the current proprietor of Taiping Theatre.

The purpose of Xu Cun looking for Yuan Bifu is very simple - Xu Cun wants to buy Taiping Theater, um... More precisely, Xu Cun is going to form a theater chain.

Why is Xu Cun planning to set up a theater chain?

Because the current situation of DreamWorks is not good.

Originally, the main theater circuit used by DreamWorks was the Golden Princess Cinema Circuit, and the backup theater circuit was Shaw Cinemas.

But--

These two theaters are now in danger.

Let me talk about the Golden Princess Cinemas first.

Originally, Lei Juekun's main industries were Kowloon Jianye and Kowloon Bus.

However, with the collapse of the real estate market, Jiulong Jianye's situation has gone from bad to worse, and it has even reached the point where manpower cannot change it.

Last year, Sun Hung Kai Properties announced the acquisition of KMB's shares in the stock market, triggering a takeover battle. As a result, Sun Hung Kai Properties successfully acquired KMB and held a total of 39.5% of the shares of KMB. Lei Juekun, who held 20.38%, could only obediently hand over the management rights of KMB , become one of the shareholders.

How did Xu Cun grow from nothing to become worth more than Lei Juekun? Lei Juekun knows very well, can Lei Juekun not be jealous?

Therefore, Lei Juekun, who has nothing to do, is no longer satisfied with just being a cinema operator. He still needs to make investments and distribute movies. To be clear, he wants to fully enter the film industry.

Therefore, with the rise of New Art City, Golden Princess Theaters is more and more inclined to New Art City, even at the expense of the interests of DreamWorks, which can bring great benefits to Golden Princess Theaters.

Take "Beware of Little Hands" released by DreamWorks some time ago as an example:

Originally, "Beware of Little Hands" still had some box office potential, but Lei Juekun actually canceled "Beware of Little Hands" in advance in order to make room for "Brothers and Difficult Brothers" in New Art City, which made "Beware of Little Hands" less than seven, Eight hundred thousand box office.

Although--

Afterwards, Lei Juekun personally called Xu Cun to explain the matter, and Xu Cun also said that it was not a big deal.

But in fact, this incident has already aroused Xu Cun's vigilance - what if one day Lei Juekun also draws an important film of Xu Cun's in advance for a certain film in New Art City? You know, although the box office of Xiangjiang movies is not much, it is the yardstick for purchasing Xiangjiang movies in other regions. Therefore, if a certain movie is drawn in advance, sometimes the loss is not only a few million!

Let's talk about the backup theater chain Shaw Cinemas.

In fact, there is nothing to say about this-now, the competition between Phoenix TV and TVB has entered a fierce stage, and the two have already had enmity. At the critical moment, Shao Yifu is likely to fall into the stone. Therefore, Xu Cun must take precautions in advance!

Therefore, it is imperative to establish a theater chain belonging to DreamWorks!
