"Okay, you can go down now, we can just do it by ourselves."
After the waiter served the tea, Li Xiucheng took the initiative to take the tea kettle and waved them away.
Taking advantage of Li Xiucheng's opportunity to pour himself water, Gu Qiucheng told Li Xiucheng some information he knew.
"Lei Jin actually has a very good reputation in the entertainment industry!"
Li Xiucheng said curiously: "Oh, I would like to hear the details!"
In fact, of course he would not fight an unprepared battle. When he left Jinyi Entertainment, he had already asked Zhao Qiang to collect information on the background forces of Xiangjiang Entertainment Company.
However, information is information, and he was still very interested in hearing Gu Qiucheng's evaluation of these people.
After all, sometimes outsiders' evaluations are more intuitive and have more reference significance.
"I think you also know how the film industry in Xiangjiang developed, right?"
"You know, Shaw Brothers! Being able to dominate the film industry from the 1950s to the 1980s is really legendary."
The deeds of legendary figures are always admirable. Even a proud person like Li Xiucheng has to respect Mr. Liu.
"Yes, it was a Shaw Brothers movie from the very beginning, and there was also Lu's Cathay, but unfortunately Mr. Lu's plane crash caused Ji's movies to end in the 1960s.
As a result, the Shaw family was dominant for more than ten years and enjoyed unlimited success, until Jiahe appeared to compete with Shaw.
And what’s interesting is that part of the reason for Jiahe’s success is the same as the reason why Jin Yiguang was able to gain a foothold in the industry in the first place! "
At this point, Gu Qiucheng smiled and looked at Li Xiucheng and stopped talking.
Li Xiucheng instantly realized that this big boss was testing himself. After recalling the information he had read, he understood instantly.
"Uncle Gu is talking about relaxing the rules on actors' salary increases, right?"
"Not bad!" Gu Qiucheng gave a teachable look, and then smiled: "Zhou Huaiwen is a deep-minded guy, but he is indeed capable and talented.
Back then, the Shaw Brothers were so independent that it was inevitable that the store would bully customers, and they would spare no effort in exploiting their actors!
Under their high pressure, even some big-name celebrities had a hard time.
It is said that to make money, everyone must make it together to achieve a win-win situation. Shaw Brothers, who is used to living alone, did not expect that he would secretly have a pair of coveting eyes!
The scheming Zhou Huaiwen established Jiahe Film Company under such circumstances, and the first thing he did was to recruit people!
Dig Shaw Brothers Dismemberment!
It is said that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. At that time, Zhou Huaiwen was willing to spare his life and offered various preferential conditions to the students.
Needless to say, this almost desperate approach really made him successful.
It has successively poached a large number of outstanding members from Shaw Brothers, the last representative of whom is the kung fu superstar Mr. Xiao Long.
Mr. Xiaolong is endlessly charming and has directly brought Jiahe from an unknown new company to the international spotlight.
Later, Mr. Xiaolong unfortunately passed away. Just when everyone thought that Jiahe would be unsustainable, a comedy master appeared in Jiahe, Mr. Xu Guangjie.
His comedies are unique. Although they are not as charming as Xiaolong Xianjun, they continue to support Jiahe and then Hong Bao and Chen Long...
As if he was favored by God, this rising star has been a one-man show for more than ten years, crushing Shaw Brothers under his feet.
Then in the 1980s, the film industry became more prosperous and more attractive, and more people saw the business opportunities and joined it.
However, of the many new film companies, not many have succeeded. The most representative ones are Shinichi City and Shengyong.
Sheng Yong can be ignored because of his special background, but there are some well-known studios and famous directors in Xinyi City who are also very capable.
For example, Xu Ke, Lin Lindong, Du Qifeng, etc.
And the reason why New City can stand out among the many film companies that are ignored by everyone is that it further relaxes the restraints on its staff and directors! "
After speaking a long paragraph in one breath, Gu Qiucheng took a breath and said, "Do you feel a familiar pattern again?"
"Haha, actually this is not a secret. Many people know what to do to break through the blockade of power, but there are not many people who really have the ability and courage to do it, and even fewer who can truly succeed."
"Too!"
Gu Qiucheng nodded; "Easier to know than to do. Whoever achieves great things still depends on God's will.
The reason why New City is successful is because Mr. Lei’s main business is outside the industry, so he really founded New City with the intention of purely investing in the film industry.
Then he handed over the company to professionals to manage, and he turned around and invested in theater real estate and became a theater chain owner! "
Li Xiucheng smiled and said: "I have to say that Boss Lei is very good at doing business. After investing in a film company, he immediately established a theater chain. In this way, although he does not interfere in the management of the film company, he can provide some assistance to the film company. reveal all the details.
In turn, it also has the ability to clamp down on the film company, killing two birds with one stone! "
“Yes, Boss Lei has some tricks, but because of this, his investment in the film industry is quite pure.
For example, he never takes the dividends from actors and directors, and will pay the actors and directors accounts for dividends and other things when they are due every year.
When the money comes in, everyone is happy.
But that boss Zhou couldn’t do this! "
Having said this, Gu Qiucheng smiled sarcastically: "Shao Brothers was not so much defeated by the competition as it was by itself!"
“Knowing that the problem is still there and not making changes, you end up reaping the consequences and attracting the boy who slayed the dragon.
The young dragon-slaying boy gradually lost himself after enjoying the honor and glory brought by slaying the dragon.
It's just a cliché story about a boy who slays a dragon and eventually becomes a dragon. "
"The young man who slays dragons eventually becomes an evil dragon?" Gu Qiucheng couldn't help but be startled after hearing this, and after silently savoring it for a long time, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Yes, this is a very subtle statement!
It’s not easy for people to keep their original intentions!
Therefore, a person like Boss Lei who doesn't take care of things has a better reputation in the industry. You don't know that Mr. Zhou even deducted the dividends of his co-directors when he was arrogant. He is really not a son of a man. "
"I've heard of this too." Li Xiucheng squinted his eyes and thought about it. They said that cutting off a person's wealth is like killing his parents, but he could see if he could take advantage of it.
For now, he has to solve the theater problem, and he will definitely be able to return the favor later!
However, as Gu Qiucheng said, Jiahe is now very powerful and cannot really defeat the opponent head-on, so he must find a way to attack from multiple aspects.
Tuk tuk~tuk tuk~
At this time, two rhythmic knocks on the door sounded, and then Wang Yi announced: "Mr. Li, Boss Lei is here."
"Please, please!" Gu Qiucheng stood up first and shouted. To Li Xiucheng, he was considered a senior, but to Lei Jin, who was older than him, he was also considered a junior, so no matter the result No matter what, the etiquette of face must be in place!
