The Hong Kong film market performed very well at the end of 1995 and early 1996, but after the Spring Festival holiday, the off-season of films in March, April and May made practitioners feel very worried.
In addition to the outbreak of Ang Lee's "Horse Racing" in June, Hong Kong films in recent months are pretty good.
As for other normal films, there is not even a box office of over 8 million.
There is an abnormal movie that sells for more than 8 million yuan, which is the third-level film "The Meat and Futuan" produced by Wang Jing and directed by Qian Wenqi.
Well, Shu Qi finally made her official debut, and she was so popular that she released a completely nude photo.
I heard that Ni Kuang liked it very much. Not only did he buy Shu Qi's full set of photos, but he also collected the movie videos, VCDs and DVDs of "The Meat and Futuan", which is the rhythm of a hardcore fan.
In the summer season, the big productions with stars gathered together seem to be unable to impress the audience.
"Golden Branches and Lesser Leaves 2", joined by Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Anita Yuen, Liu Jialing, Chau Huajian, Cheung Tat-ming, Chen Xiaochun, Tsang Ji-wei, Li Qihong and other stars, has been widely promoted, but the box office is only 20.91 million.
The producer of this film is UFO. Although it won the box office championship for two weeks in the summer season, unfortunately there are too many stars and too much investment, so it is impossible to recover the production cost. It can only hope for overseas box office.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to see results in the short term for overseas box offices. The UFO, which was so glorious two years ago, suffered serious losses in three consecutive films, and investors also lost confidence in it.
As bosses, Tsang Chi-wei, Chen Kexin and Zhong Zhen, the vigorous creative soul began to gradually fade away. Although the UFO did not officially announce its dissolution, it is no longer possible to continue to produce the video in the short term.
Tsang Chi-wei and Chen Kexin want to return to Oriental Dream Factory, but unfortunately, what Hong Kong has the most is to make movies now.
The competition within DreamWorks is fierce, and they have no place to stand. They can only take on some small-cost movies everywhere to live.
In the end, they discussed an idea, used Teresa Teng's death last year as a selling point, wrote a script called "Sweet Honey", and finally gained investment from Jiahe.
However, although the production team of this film comes from UFO, the copyright of the film can only belong to Jiahe, and Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Kexin have completely become workers.
Also unlucky is Wong Pao Ming, a former celebrity in Hong Kong movies, who has been in a state of continuous losses in recent years.
The Xincheng Cinema, which he jointly established, finally announced its disbandment after the films screened during the summer season failed (several major cinemas were merged into Xinbao Cinema), and the Xincheng Cinema was also announced to be closed.
The movie owner Wong Pai-ming is dead, leaving only screenwriter Wong Pai-ming and actor Wong Pai-ming.
At the same time, the dissolution of Xincheng Cinemas marked the entry of a cold winter period in the Hong Kong Cinemas industry, and then the new generation of cinemas (formerly Yonggao Cinemas) also disappeared silently.
As a result, there are only four theaters left in Hong Kong, namely Jiahe, Xinbao, Jinsheng and Dongfang.
Among them, Jiahe Cinema is owned by Zou Wenhuai, Oriental Cinema is owned by Kang Jianfei, and Xinbao and Jinsheng Cinema are both controlled by Chen Rongmei.
After the summer vacation ended, Chen Rongmei had to make adjustments because the theater business was really difficult to do.He incorporated Jinsheng into Xinbao and cut off the excess small theaters to reverse the loss-making business situation.
Now it finally became a three-legged leader, with only three cinema companies left in Hong Kong, including Jiahe, Xinbao and Oriental.
The bleak situation in the theater industry has made Hong Kong filmmakers very pessimistic. This is the rhythm of returning to its original state. The Hong Kong film industry has basically retreated back 15 years ago.
Hong Kong will return next year, and the Xiang brothers are also starting to find a way out.
In this summer, Yongsheng and DreamWorks jointly invested in a "New Shanghai Beach". In addition to Leslie Cheung and Andy Lau, the starring actors also specially invited the newly popular Qingjing in the mainland.
Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng plan to gradually show goodwill to the central government, and even deliberately weaken Yongsheng Film Company, but focus on China Star Group.
China Star, China’s heart...the meaning is self-evident, it has already publicly expressed its feelings.
China Star Group was listed this summer, becoming the second Hong Kong Film Group to be listed after Jiahe, with copyrights of all works by Yongsheng Company.
It has to be said that the Xiang brothers took a good move.
When Hong Kong returns next year, the stock prices of many companies, including Jiahe, plummet, but China Star's stock soared, rising from 82 yuan to 206 yuan in one month, an increase of 15,185%.
This is the benefit of pretending to surrender.
Just as the Hong Kong film industry is about to enter a cold winter, Luo Zhaohui, a real estate prodigy, is also facing a cold winter in his career.
Dongfanghong Group is holding an extraordinary board meeting.
Since this group is called Dongfanghong, it must be pro-continental.
Because it is impossible to be close to you, Dongfanghong's main business is Chinese medicinal materials, including Chinese patent medicines and Chinese herbal medicines, which require a large amount of goods in the mainland every year.
Luo Zhaohui made his fortune by speculating in real estate, and under the guidance of Liu, he entered the stock market and became a billionaire.
He also knew that taking shortcuts was not a long-term solution, so he maliciously acquired Oriental Hong Group two years ago, becoming the helm of the group, and began to develop into the industrial field.
Nowadays, most of Luo Zhaohui's property has been buried in the Dongfanghong Group, which has become the foundation of his career.
Recently, Dongfang Hong has encountered trouble. Two consecutive batches of medicinal materials were detained when they came out of customs in the mainland, saying that they had found some prohibited items.
What do the people below eat?Is it worth a board meeting to be held?
Luo Zhaohui has reason to get angry. He just made a small profit in the stock market and was celebrating with his newly-family star girlfriend Sun Jiajun.
There were three other female stars who went out to sea on a yacht.Luo Zhaohui was playing a crazy 5P battle at sea. He swallowed two blue pills in a row, and he couldn't even vent his anger for less than five or six hours.
But at this moment, the secretary called more than ten consecutive calls and asked him to return to the company to attend the extraordinary board meeting as soon as possible.Until Luo Zhaohui came to the conference room, his lower body was still so hard that it hurt.
A shareholder said: I went to the mainland a few days ago and I have found out clearly.The group's medicinal materials were detained this time because a shareholder offended someone and the medicinal materials were maliciously hidden.
Who offended someone?Go and solve it for me quickly!Luo Zhaohui slapped the table and said.
The other shareholders and director representatives seemed to have passed the ball in advance, and they all looked at Luo Zhaohui with a sneer. Although no one spoke, the situation was self-evident.
I offend people?Luo Zhaohui said funny.
The shareholder before said: When I invited a mainland friend to dinner, he only revealed one word.
What word?Luo Zhaohui asked.
Good.Shareholders said.
Kang Jianfei?Luo Zhaohui understood immediately and turned to anger. He was holding his mother in a hurry. I didn’t succeed. Is it necessary to be so cruel?
Under the pressure of other board members, Luo Zhaohui called Weng Hong several times, saying that he wanted to invite Mr. Kang Jianfei to have a meal, but the other party always told him with a good attitude: Sorry, Mr. Kang is not available!
The next morning, the Hong Kong Financial Daily published a headline: Oriental Hong Group was suspected of drug transportation, and two batches of medicinal materials have been detained indefinitely.
According to the news, the stock price of Dongfanghong Group plummeted, and Luo Zhaohui's net worth shrank by one-eighth within two hours.
