v3 Chapter 1137： The Hong Kong Film Market has changed (2/2)
”Moreover, the quality of the films produced by the Shaw Brothers Film Company in the past two years is indeed not high, and the probability of other film companies showing excellent films is not high. Therefore, the Shaw Cinemas are basically operating on a guaranteed basis.
”This time the Shaw Brothers Film Company lost more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, and the Shao family is still increasing its shareholding in TVB. There is not much money left to invest in the film company, and banks may not dare to lend them. ”
”I think the Shao family is going to retreat to TVB and prepare to concentrate resources to compete with President Huang in the TV field.”
Xia Yu smiled and nodded, seeming to agree with Jiang Zhiqiang's analysis.
In fact, under the competition between Jiahe Film Company and New Art City Film Company in the previous life, the Shaw Brothers Film Company was unable to handle it. Yifu Shaw later leased the Shaw Theater Line to Pan Disheng. Although the Shaw Brothers Film Company did not Production was discontinued, but after 1985, even one film a year could not be stable. After entering the 1990s, it was not making films for several years.
Although under the influence of Xia Yu in this life, Lei Juekun did not set foot in the film industry, Huang Baiming and Mecca were in Universal Television and Galaxy Films respectively, so New Art City Films did not appear.
And Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao were also compiled by Galaxy Film Company, so Debao Film Company did not appear.
However, Xia Yu's Galaxy Film Company is a giant, and the pressure on Shaw Brothers Film Company is greater than the pressure on the joint production of Sega He Film Company + Xinyicheng Film Company + Debao Film Company.
And also let Shao Yifu not see the day of his early days.
In addition, Xia Yu's Global Satellite TV created strong pressure on TVB in the TV field, making Shao's funds very tight.
Therefore, Shao Yifu's decisive choice to withdraw from the film market makes sense.
”So do you want to acquire the Shaw Brothers Film Company and the Shaw Cinemas separately? Or a partial acquisition?”
Xia Yu asked with a smile.
Wu Siyuan first said: ”Chairman, I want to buy the Shaw Brothers Film Company in its entirety.”
”Although we currently have Xiangjiang Culture and Media School to provide talents, it takes a long time to cultivate talents. The performance talents are better, but it is difficult to cultivate talents behind the scenes.”
”Although the Shaw Brothers Film Company has been poached by us and Jiahe Film Company, its background is still very deep. If we can take all of these people over, then our annual production of films will be doubled. The quality of the film There will also be a certain degree of improvement.”
”Now that the Xiangjiang film market is described as a super-two strong structure, we are the super overlord. The Shaw Brothers Film Company and Jiahe Film Company are first-class powerhouses, and then other second- and third-rate film companies.”
”I think if we don’t take over, if the Shaw Brothers Film Company falls into Wrinkle’s hands, it will narrow the gap with us. Then there will be greater competitive pressure. Our rear is unstable. If we want to fully break out of the Asian market, There will be some unstable constraints.”
”So let's just eat it, and completely stabilize our dominance.”
”Yes, there is one more thing, that is, the Shaw Brothers Film Company has the largest film library in Hong Kong. I think this is a huge asset, and it may be used at any time.”
”These are my reasons.”
Xia Yu nodded slightly ~ but he did not immediately express his position, but looked at Jiang Zhiqiang with a slight smile.
”Xeon, what was your original intention to acquire the Shaw Cinemas? Will the Shaw Cinemas overlap with the Global Cinemas?”
Jiang Zhiqiang replied truthfully: ”Chairman, now the Shaw Cinemas has 16 self-operated cinemas in Hong Kong, and there are more than 130 self-operated cinemas in Southeast Asia. In addition, the distribution network is involved. More than two hundred movie theaters are the second largest movie theater after us.”
”There must be some overlaps in locations, but because the Shaw Theater line was laid out earlier, there are many theaters in very good locations. Even if we overlap with them, we are not afraid.”
”The Asian film market is growing rapidly every year. The number of cinemas is currently sufficient for the time being, but it will not be enough in the future. According to the plan of the global cinema chain, the future is to continue to build or acquire movie theaters to expand the scale, so we are now acquiring Shao ahead The theater line is not bad, and it can be done in one step.”
”As for another consideration, it is the same as Mr. Wu's. As the second largest theater chain after us, the Shaw Cinemas, if taken away by Jiahe Film Company, their unexpected profits in Xiangjiang will increase sharply. It is also a big trouble for us.”
”Even if it is not acquired by Jiahe Films, but acquired by other Ren, it is also a very unstable factor.”
”It's better to be acquired by us to completely stabilize the dominance of the Asian film market!”
”Chairman, this is my reason.”
After speaking, both Jiang Zhiqiang and Wu Siyuan looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, waiting for his order.
PS: The second one is more, today is nearly 6,000 words, I ask for a monthly pass, thank you!
