Xiang Nan then went to see Wang Jing.
In the new year, True 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 Pictures has become the de facto leader in the film field in Hong Kong.
It is stronger than Golden Harvest, Yongsheng Entertainment which 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 and Ishida devoted themselves to the stock market and property market, while Huang Baiming established Oriental Entertainment and continued to engage in the film industry.
At this time, Lei Juekun, the old owner of Xinyi 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 is that Pan Disheng bought a stake in Debao Company mainly to pursue Yang Ziqiong, and secondly to advertise the luxury goods he represents.
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 to promote the scent. Therefore, in 1992, he also announced his graduation. The successor to Debao Cinemas is Yongsheng Entertainment, run by the Xiang brothers. However, the Xiang brothers don't have that much money, so they share a theater chain 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 released some blockbuster movies, such as "The Judge of the Dead", "Brother's Death", "Ji Gong", and "Mr. Evil" 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 the so-called "Seven Days Fresh" are indeed bad movies, a large part of them are classics.
For example, back then, there were many films from D&M, Lingguang, Xingfa Pictures, etc. that were sensational. In addition, in the 1970s and 1980s, there were many film companies in Hong Kong, which produced many influential works.
For example, "Dancing 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 early. I still don’t know if those films are still there, or if they can be salvaged.
You must know that in the United States, old movies have long been a profitable business. Those movie 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 in later generations, we can only find some fragments at most, which is a pity.
Wang Jing nodded after hearing this.
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. He drew many stories and funny scenes from old films.
For example, the story of "God of Gamblers" is inspired by the 1960s "Not a Dream" 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 boating on the river together.
Ng Yong-wei participated in the Miss Asia contest in 2016. Although she was not in the top three, she still won the Best Photogenic Miss Award. She then 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 and was 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 "Kefu", and the Weng family also kicked her out of the Weng family, and they did not let her take away any of the family property.
Therefore, Wu Yongwei has been fighting property disputes with the Weng family for these years. The lawsuit has been going on for several years, but there has been no resolution yet. However, all 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're 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 beauty to a hundred people, and the pink and white in the Sixth Palace are colorless.
This Yingying smile made Xiang Nan feel a little dazed.
In fact, in terms of appearance, Wu Yongwei is not considered 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 in appearance, but more importantly in style. Without charm, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is just a puppet. On the contrary, if you are good at style, an ordinary little beauty can also have the charm of a great beauty.
For example, Zhou Xun is not handsome, with a thin and dry figure, and does not have much charm. But in "Painted Skin", she actually performed the feeling of a peerless beauty.
This is the style. And Wu Yongwei is undoubtedly a man of this kind.
