Mr. Kang, long time no see!Taiwanese director Zhu Yanping suddenly came over and was with him Wang Yu, who was as famous as Bruce Lee in the early 1970s.
Although Wang Yu became famous in Hong Kong, he has been in Taiwan for most of his years. Zhang Che and Wang Yu both attended the 10th anniversary of the Academy Awards.
Hello!
Kang Jianfei and Zhu Yanping shook hands.
His subordinate Yu Kanping has established a branch in Taiwan. Zhu Yanping has also made several commercial films for DreamWorks Taiwan Branch in the past two years. Although he has not made much money, he has a profit of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
To simply describe Zhu Yanping, that is, Wang Jing from Taiwan. As long as you are willing to pay, he can shoot any kind of film, and it is still quite popular.
He can shoot the touching family-friendly art film "The Love of Grandparents and Grandchildren", follow Stephen Chow's "False School Weilong" and "False School Story", also find Shi Xiaolong and Hao Shaowen to shoot the funny "Oolong Courtyard", also shoot the prison dark action film "Fire Island", and even make a third-level film "Sword Slave" into the ancient dragon-style "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Zhu Yanping and Wang Yu came to Hong Kong this time, nominally invited by the Academy Awards Organizing Committee. In fact, they took the initiative to ask to come here to get familiar with each other.
Just last year, the big cast "The Island of Fire" produced by Wang Yu and directed by Zhu Yanping was released in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The film brought together a number of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars such as Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Tony Tony Tom, Andy Lau, Ke Junxiong, and Wang Yu.
This film is a blockbuster film directed by Cai Songlin, one of Taiwan’s eight major filmmakers and the owner of the Scholar Company. It is invested by the United States, Hong Kong and Taiwan (mainly Taiwanese capital). The main goal is to invest in the North American market and to make a vote in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.
Jiahe has special requirements for Jackie Chan, that is, Jackie Chan cannot die in the movie, but in order to once again impact the Hollywood market, Jackie Chan presented his screen virgin death in "The Island of Fire".
Unfortunately, this movie is too dark, and there are some loopholes in the plot, which leads to its Asian box office being unsatisfactory, and the United States cannot even achieve its release.
Although director Zhu Yanping took the blame for the box office failure, "The Island of Fire" still made some money, mainly because the cost of hiring a large number of stars is too high.
After Kang Jianfei and Zhu Yanping reminisced about the past, Wang Yu said: Mr. Kang, I have long admired him!
Hello!Kang Jianfei replied indifferently.He was not interested in Wang Yu. Zhu Yanping could at least help his Taiwanese branch make movies, but Wang Yu could not bring him any benefits.
If there is really something to do, Kang Jianfei wants to get along with Wang Yu's daughter, who will be the most popular singer Wang Xinping in the next few years.
Wang Yu came with a purpose. Although Kang Jianfei obviously showed a cold attitude, Wang Yu started chatting with him familiarly, and then asked: When will Mr. Kang's "The World of Truman" be released in Taiwan?
Kang Jianfei said: I'm not very clear, the publisher and China Cinema Line are making arrangements.
Wang Yu said: Actually, I also have several cinemas in Taiwan. If possible, I hope to cooperate with DreamWorks.
Kang Jianfei also heard about Wang Yu’s actions in Taiwan. After this guy failed to invest in a movie, he changed his career and went to work as a film dealer.
In order to obtain the right to distribute movies in some regions, Wang Yu used his relationship with the Taiwan Gang and did not hesitate to use despicable means to threaten his peers, making no one dared to compete with him.
Of course, Wang Yu only dared to intimidate some small film dealers, and none of the eight major film dealers in Taiwan dared to move.
The so-called cinema in Wang Yu's hands is actually only equivalent to the small retail cinema chains in Hong Kong, and are all composed of scattered small cinema franchises.
Due to the location and infrastructure, these small theaters have no ability to screen newly launched blockbusters. The expensive copies alone will be unaffordable. They can only wait until the blockbuster box office boom declines, and they can rent copies at low prices for second and third rounds of screenings.
The box office earned by the second and third rounds of screenings in the small theaters is optional for Kang Jianfei. He said: If Mr. Wang is interested in the second round of screening rights of "Trumen's World", he can directly contact the office of Oriental Entertainment Distribution Company in Taiwan.
Wang Yu is also a person with a bad temper. Kang Jianfei's cold attitude from beginning to end made him quite annoyed. He suppressed his anger and said with a smile: Actually, I also have two or three better theaters in my hand. I wonder if I can get a few copies of "Trumen's World" during the first round of screening.
Kang Jianfei said regretfully: I’m sorry, DreamWorks’ movies are exclusively represented by China Cinemas in Taiwan.
Wang Yu smiled sinisterly: I heard that Chinese theaters were not authentic. Last Christmas, DreamWorks films were downgraded and were screened as a Hollywood film.
Kang Jianfei narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Yu, and suddenly smiled: Mr. Wang is indeed very interesting, so I will make an exception to give you three copies of "The World of Truman" this summer.
Thank you, happy cooperation!Wang Yu smiled happily, and the anger he had accumulated in front was instantly dispersed by the benefits he received.
If China Cinemas dare not give a good schedule for "Trumen's World", Kang Jianfei would let two or three good theaters in Wang Yu be released in the summer, which is a warning to China Film Company.
This approach actually harms the interests of DreamWorks. In the end, Wang Yu must have benefited, Kang Jianfei and China Film Company both suffered losses, because when China Cinema was released, "Trumen's World" was already pirated in Taiwan.
In a typical behavior that harms others and is unfavorable, Kang Jianfei just reminds China Film Company that if he doesn’t give a good schedule, I will change the partner.
There are eight major film dealers and seven major theaters in Taiwan, and DreamWorks has more than one choice.
In fact, many people from China Film Company are willing to give DreamWorks a good schedule, especially the movie directed by Kang Jianfei, which represents box office profit as soon as it is released.
The reason why DreamWorks is mainly due to the official instructions from Taiwan, DreamWorks and Kang Jianfei, are both too red.
On the other hand, the Taiwan authorities are like grandson meeting grandpa when facing the US government.
Several major Hollywood film giants have conquered cities through trade negotiations by the US government as weapons and implemented their global integrated marketing strategy of Hollywood film market. Taiwan's theaters have been constantly compromised under the pressure of the Taiwan authorities. Sometimes, even if Hong Kong films are more profitable, they will be released in good schedules.
One is the American grandfather and the other is a pro-communist dream factory. China Film Corporation naturally prefers Hollywood films when arranging schedules.
After Kang Jianfei expressed his dissatisfaction, some people from China Film Company were willing to continue to cooperate with him in a friendly manner in order to achieve high box office profits.
Because once Kang Jianfei changes his partner, it will also be a big loss for China Cinemas.
It’s not that Kang Jianfei had never thought about changing the cooperative theater chain, but it was mainly troublesome after the replacement. After all, other theater chains also had to act according to the government’s expression.
In addition, several major theaters in Taiwan are extremely entangled with Hong Kong films. On the one hand, they want to release Hong Kong films to make money, but on the other hand, they think Hong Kong films are getting more and more expensive. Whether it is buying out or box office sharing, they are getting too excessive, so several major theaters have joined forces to boycott Hong Kong films.
In the original time and space, in two or three years, film manufacturers across Taiwan will unite to use the killer weapon of unified procurement.
As long as the rules of the game of film dealers are not abiding by the rules of the game, no matter how profitable Hong Kong films are, they will be deliberately excluded, and there is no chance of being released in Taiwanese cinemas. The essence is to implement a planned economy in the Taiwanese film market.
Hong Kong film companies naturally refused to lower the price of Hong Kong films, and Taiwanese film manufacturers forced Hong Kong films to lower the price. The conflict between the two sides led to the loss of Hong Kong films' market advantages in Taiwan.
Because the Hollywood giants are backed by the US government, neither the Taiwanese authorities nor the film merchants dared to resist. The eight Hollywood giants finally abandoned Taiwan's local film merchants and theaters and directly built cinemas in Taiwan to release and release their own films. Taiwanese film merchants and theater merchants died miserably in the end, and more than half of Taiwan's film market was occupied by Hollywood giants.
Therefore, Hong Kong movies defeated by Hollywood in the 1990s is not only due to the gap in the quality of the movie, but also some reasons for the failure of war.
Asian countries and regions can boycott Hong Kong films, but they dare not boycott Hollywood blockbusters too much because the US government supports them.
Kang Jianfei had exchanges with some Taiwanese filmmakers in his previous life, and he knew a little about this.
After chatting with Wang Yu, Kang Jianfei suddenly had an idea: he could have Paramount Pictures come to Taiwan to build a cinema to distribute Paramount and DreamWorks films. The Taiwan authorities are afraid of the US government and will definitely not dare to intervene, and the local gangs in Taiwan are also afraid to attack the American industry.
However, Kang Jianfei's idea was hesitant and took the initiative to let Paramount build a cinema in Taiwan, which was tantamount to attracting wolves into the house.
Taiwan is an important market for Hong Kong films. Kang Jianfei's approach is simply the end of the world for some Hong Kong film companies, and it will also have a significant impact on DreamWorks.
wrong!
Kang Jianfei thought about it and felt that this was not a good idea.
Hollywood giants will invade in a few years and bring Paramount in early. Under the influence of the catfish effect, Hong Kong filmmakers may also recognize the reality, rather than dreaming in the prosperous Hong Kong film market.
Only by having pressure can we improve competitiveness!
Born in distress and dying from happiness, how did Taiwanese movies die completely?
In order to support Taiwanese local films, the Taiwan authorities have created a tutoring fund system.
It is a Taiwanese director and company with good creative and good scripts that can apply for government tutoring and filming. For the sake of face, the Taiwanese authorities prefer to support directors to make art films abroad to win awards.
As a result, good directors are rushing to make art films, because even if they can’t get a general, they can still get government counseling funds, and if they win the award, they will win both fame and fortune.
In order to make money, Taiwanese commercial film investors dare not say that they are making Taiwanese movies. They all play exports and domestic sales. They use Taiwanese funds and directors to invite Hong Kong actors to film, and only after they are labeled as SIPG films, they dare to take them back to Taiwan for release.
In the end, Taiwan's film tutoring funds increased, but the production volume of Taiwanese films was getting smaller and smaller. In the end, no one made local commercial films, and they all went to make art films and Hong Kong films.
Until one day, Hong Kong films collapsed and art films were high and low. Looking around, there were all Hollywood blockbusters in Taiwan’s cinemas.
Kang Jianfei looked at Hou Hsiao-hsien, a famous Taiwanese art film director who was talking and laughing with Hu Jinquan in the corner, and finally made up his mind to let Paramount invade the Taiwan market.
After all, Paramount also has shares, and Kang Jianfei can get a lot of benefits on his first come first served basis. In addition, the power of DreamWorks, the two major film companies in the East and West colluded to quickly occupy the market share of Taiwan's films.
Compared with this idea, using Wang Yu to stimulate China Film Company before is simply a child's trick.
Fly, ready to walk the red carpet.Sophie Marceau came to Kang Jianfei and interrupted his meditation.
Although Wang Yu became famous in Hong Kong, he has been in Taiwan for most of his years. Zhang Che and Wang Yu both attended the 10th anniversary of the Academy Awards.
