1924【Old Movie】
Xiang Nan then went to see Wang Jing again.
In the new year, Zhen Kung Fu Pictures’ profits are still considerable.
Moreover, because it is responsible for contacting Universal Pictures and using Universal Pictures' distribution network to distribute Xiangjiang movies to all parts of the world. As a middleman, it naturally has money to make.
Moreover, all the film companies in Hong Kong also hope that their films can go out of Hong Kong and go to more markets to make money. Therefore, Zhen Kung Fu Film has actually become the leader in the film field in Hong Kong.
It is stronger than Golden Harvest, Yongsheng Entertainment that succeeded Debao, Metropolis after the restart of Shaw Brothers, and Oriental Entertainment after the disintegration of New Art City.
In 1991, the three big bosses of Xinyi City, Mai Jia, Ishida and Huang Baiming, disbanded due to uneven distribution of interests. Mai Jia, Ishida devoted themselves to the stock market and property market, and Huang Baiming established Oriental Entertainment and continued to engage in the film industry.
At this time, Lei Juekun, the old owner of New Art City, had also passed away, and his son had no interest in the film industry. He sublet the theater chain to Huang Baiming, which made him a big shot in the Hong Kong film industry.
In 1992, Debao Film Company also announced its closure. The reason was that Pan Dickson bought a stake in Debao Company, mainly to pursue Yang Ziqiong, and secondly to advertise the luxury goods he represented.
Now he and Yang Ziqiong have divorced, and his Dickson Department Store has become the largest and most profitable luxury goods agency in Hong Kong.
As the saying goes, there is no need to use movies for publicity anymore. Therefore, in 1992, he also announced his closure. The successor to Debao Cinemas was Yongsheng Entertainment of the Xiang brothers. However, the Xiang brothers did not have such funds.
There are many, so it shares a theater line with the Metropolitan.
Shaw Brothers closed its doors in 1985, and made a comeback the following year under the name of Metropolis Pictures. It also launched some blockbuster movies, such as "The Judge of the Dead", "The Brotherhood", "Ji Gong" and "Mr.
etc.
…
"Director Wang, I suggest that you buy more copies and films of old Xiangjiang movies in the future, so that they can be restored into high-definition movies and re-released in the future." Xiang Nan reminded Wang Jingdao, "In this way, we will increase the size of our film library, and secondly, those
Old movies can also be reused, and their value can be further explored."
The history of Hong Kong movies goes back decades. From the 1950s to the 1990s, countless wonderful and beautiful movies were produced. Although some of them, so-called "Seven Days Fresh", are indeed bad movies, a large part of them are classics.
.
For example, back then, there were many films produced by D&M, Lingguang, Xingfa Pictures, etc. that were sensational. In addition, in the 1970s and 1980s, there were many film companies in Hong Kong and they produced many influential works.
For example, "Jumping from the Ashes" co-directed by Xiao Fangfang and Liang Bochi, which created the groom trend in Hong Kong; "Crazy Robbery" directed by Ann Hui and starring Zhao Yazhi; "Curry Fee" written by Chen Xinjian, etc.
These movies were once a sensation, but due to poor management by the boss, the company went bankrupt and closed early. Now I don’t know if those films are still there, or whether they can be salvaged.
You must know that in the United States, old movies have long been a profitable business. Those film companies can make hundreds of millions of dollars a year from old movies.
However, in Hong Kong, the value of old movies has not been taken seriously, so that if we look for many movies later, we can only find some fragments at most, which is a pity.
When Wang Jing heard this, he nodded.
He is also a loyal lover of old movies, and he once made a movie called "Brothers in Tragedy" to commemorate the Hong Kong filmmakers of the 1960s.
On the one hand, his father, Wang Tianlin, is a director and made many old films in the 1950s and 1960s. The family also has a close relationship with movies;
On the one hand, he also absorbed a lot of nutrients from old films. Many stories and many funny scenes were all learned from old films.
For example, the story of "God of Gamblers" is inspired by the 1960s "The Romance" starring Ren Jianhui and Luo Yanqing, and even the main story is not much different.
Therefore, he respects the value of old films in Hong Kong.
…
Xiang Nan then asked Wu Yongwei to go on a river cruise together.
Ng Yong-wei participated in the Miss Asia contest in 2016. Although she was not in the top three, she still won the Most Photogenic Miss award. Then she signed with ATV and officially debuted. Her first drama was "The Driver" with Wu Yaohan.
In 1990, she married Weng Jiangpei, a partner of a well-known accounting firm in Hong Kong. Weng Jiangpei was already fifty years old at the time, thirty years older than Wu Yongwei. Therefore, the marriage attracted a lot of criticism after it was announced. .
Many citizens ridiculed Wu Yongwei for marrying for money, with ulterior motives, but the two still resisted the pressure and came together.
Unexpectedly, less than half a month after the two got married, Weng Jiangpei died suddenly of a heart attack. Wu Yongwei was nicknamed "Ke Fu", and the Weng family also kicked her out of the Weng Mansion without any property. Let her take it away.
Therefore, Wu Yongwei has been fighting a lawsuit with the Weng family over the past few years. The lawsuit has been going on for several years, and there is no result yet. However, the gossip surrounding the lawsuit has become a hot topic in the city.
Xiang Nan fell in love with Wu Yongwei mainly because he saw her in "Silver Fox".
The character Yan Ruyu she played in it is voluptuous, scheming, and yet has a trace of conscience. She is really charming and left a deep impression on Xiang Nan, so we asked her to meet her today.
…
"Miss Wu, nice to meet you~" Xiang Nan said with a smile and stretched out his hand.
"Mr. Ning, nice to meet you." Wu Yongwei shook hands with him and said with a smile, "I never expected that such a big boss as you would ask me out."
"No matter how big the boss is, he is still a human being and has emotions and desires." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"You are right." Wu Yongwei nodded, "Then you feel lonely these days, so you want me to accompany you?"
"I have this idea." Xiang Nan nodded, "Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you. You can get off the ship now."
"If I don't want to, then I won't come." Wu Yongwei waved her hand and smiled.
It is said that a charming smile brings a hundred charming lives, and the pink and white in the Sixth Palace have no color.
This Yingying smile made Xiang Nan feel a little dazed.
In fact, in terms of appearance, Wu Yongwei is not a peerless beauty. Compared with Li Jiaxin, Guan Zhilin, Zheng Wenya, etc., they are all inferior.
But the charm of a beautiful woman is not only about appearance, but more importantly, style. Without style, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is just a puppet. On the contrary, if she is good at style, ordinary little beauties can also have the charm of a great beauty. .
For example, Zhou Xun is not pretty, with a thin and dry figure, and does not have much charm. However, in "Painted Skin", she actually acted like a peerless beauty.
