After Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin left Hutchison Whampoa, they spent the next day dealing with the three major movie giants in Hong Kong.
First, Umbrella University needs their support to establish the School of Cinematic Arts; secondly, Li Zetian let someone buy "Film Biweekly" and became the organizer of the Hong Kong Film Awards, and also needs to cooperate with them. Hong Kong films have a place in Asia and around the world, but until 1982 there was no film festival of its own, not even an official organization of filmmakers themselves. Now it has been held twice, but the scale is not large and the influence is low. Now, the Hong Kong Film Awards are handed over to Li Zetian to hold it. In the future, it will naturally be a special event, and it will be very grand. This can not only increase the ratings of ATV, but also grasping the Hong Kong Film Festival is like grasping the trend of Hong Kong films, setting a tone for Hong Kong films to move forward along a bright road.
Not every rubbish movie can win an award, and not even a bad acting person can become an actor.
When Li Zetian met the bosses of these three film companies, at first, they thought that Li Zetian wanted to buy their companies. After all, Li Zetian had a "criminal record", so they all held hostile attitudes, but after listening to Li Zetian's proposed cooperation, They all expressed support. Because whether it is the establishment of the Academy of Film Arts or the holding of the Hong Kong Film Awards, it will be of great benefit to the development of Hong Kong films!
Then we talked about some joint venture filming and film distribution issues, all of which were very harmonious.
After a busy day, on the way home, Dongfang Yuqin said with a smile, "Mr. Li, I thought you were going to buy their film company..."
"Uh, is my food appearance so ugly?" Li Zetian asked with a smile.
Dongfang Yuqin looked at Li Zetian seriously for a long time, then suddenly smiled, covering her mouth and chuckling: "Of course there is, and it's very ugly!"
Li Zetian laughed and said, "Okay, I admit that sometimes I look ugly. But this time, I really have no idea of buying a Hong Kong film company. You know, the film distribution channel is the most important link. And Hong Kong is just a small place, and the distribution of movies is not very difficult. The Disney Company established Bowei Film and Television Company as early as 1954, which can be responsible for the distribution and investment of movies in Hong Kong, so why buy them?”
"Oh, this is also..." Dongfang Yuqin nodded.
Bowei Film and Television is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Disney. The name "Bowei" is a neutral (without Disney) name, which can prevent some of its films such as ghost films, zombies, police and bandit films from violating Disney. Family, joy brand image. Therefore, the appearance of the name "Bravewick" on the company endorsement of product packaging can protect the Disney brand and open the way for Disney's brand diversification.
Bowei Film and Television has the ability to distribute international films. To a large extent, Hong Kong films need to rely on it if they want to go international. Hong Kong films are also a big chunk of profit for PVA, and it will also help PVA to open up the Asian market and enhance its film distribution capabilities. All in all, it is mutually beneficial.
"By the way, Andy Lau, Beyond, Aaron Kwok, Chen Ruoxi, they should be very popular now, right?" Li Zetian asked casually.
"Yes, Violet Records released albums for them, all of which became instant hits, especially the songs you wrote for them, which are popular all over Hong Kong! Now people have already asked them to make TV series and movies, especially Chen Ruoxi, who not only sings She is very good, and she looks outstanding, known as the 'Goddess of the Music World', and the tragic "Woman Flower" has touched the hearts of many men... Many female singers are very envious of the person who helped her write songs!"
"cough cough..."
Hearing this, Li Zetian could not help coughing a few times, secretly asking Dongfang Yuqin to eat gunpowder today
"This... Hong Kong gets stuck in traffic as soon as they get off work. It's really annoying!" Li Zetian immediately turned his head away and looked out of the car window, talking to him from left to right.
Dongfang Yuqin raised her chin, revealing an inexplicable smile.
After returning home, Li Zetian's mother Xiao Zhixuan prepared a table of good dishes, Li Chengzhi sat on the sofa reading the newspaper, and Zhou Qiqi did her homework in her room.
Li Zetian came to Li Chengzhi and sat down and talked about what happened today, he said, "Dad, don't worry, today I met with Run Run Shaw, Zou Huaiwen and the Big Three of Art City, and they all support Umbrella University very much. Establish a film arts school and are willing to establish a long-term partnership with Umbrella University. If they need actors in the future, they will come to our school to select them.”
"It's so good, it's only when I have the opportunity to act that I can attract students!" Li Chengzhi said happily, "It happened that I went to the Hong Kong government today, and I want to apply for a school land for the establishment of a film art academy, and I'm still talking about it. smoothly."
Li Zetian nodded and said: "I will ask the umbrella company to spend 200 million Hong Kong dollars to build this school later, if it is not enough..."
Li Chengzhi interrupted with a smile: "This amount of money is enough!"
"Well then, if it's not enough, just let me ask for more, it doesn't cost much anyway!" Li Zetian said richly, and then returned to his room, lying on the bed for a while, until Dongfang Yuqin asked him to get up to eat dinner.
The next day, Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin went out early in the morning to meet Huang Yulang, a comic giant in Hong Kong.
The comic industry is a very important part of the entertainment and cultural industry, isn't Marvel awesome? Are Japanese comics cool
Japan's comic industry chain accounts for a large proportion of its GDP, including comic animations, games, movies, TV adaptations and peripheral products, etc., and the profits are very lucrative. On the other hand, the Chinese comic industry has not improved, and it has almost been beaten by Japanese comics and cartoons.
Li Zetian is now developing Hong Kong comics, one is to develop comics with Chinese characteristics, carry forward them, and not be crushed by small Japanese comics; the other is of course to make money.
Two-dimensional things are more and more popular among young people, and the future is simply a mess!
In addition, Li Zetian thought that artificial intelligence may be combined with two-dimensional characters to collide with different sparks, such as the virtual singer of the previous life: Japan's "Hatsune Miku" and China's "Luo Tianyi". If they are not just a virtual singer, but a virtual character with artificial intelligence, who can be cute and cute, and can chat with you online, it must be more attractive.
PS: It is very interesting to recommend a friend Sima Baishan's official text "The Age of the Big City", which has developed from a poor and white small town to an international metropolis. Let's take a look.
