The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang Chapter 574

  Chapter 574 Xiangjiang Movie Universe (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  Among the companies under Chu Huan's name, which company has been the most aggrieved in the past half month, then it must be black and white images.

  After the beginning of October, almost all the films submitted for review with black-and-white images were sent back by the Film and Television Department, requiring rectification, but the Film and Television Department did not tell you that there was a problem with the film, that is, rectification, and then re-examination.

  Since then, Shanhai Cinemas, which has been renamed Black and White Cinemas, has never screened any black and white movies since then.

  This is actually something that has never happened before in the history of Hong Kong films, but it happens to black and white images now, and the rumors about whether black and white images can last have already flown to the moon.

  Chu Huan sat in Fang Jianhui's office and asked him with a smile, "How is it? Can you withstand the current pressure?"

Fang Jianhui said: "It's okay, in fact, external comments are nothing to me, anyway, I know your plan, chairman, and these directors in the company, the actors need to be comforted frequently. "

Now this matter is happening to Xiangjiang Super Film Company like Black and White Video. If it happened to other film companies in Xiangjiang, at this time, under such circumstances, the artist director under this film company probably has already left about there.

  But even a super company like black and white video is still undercurrents.

   "I read Xu Yi's recent report on black-and-white images. More and more artist directors are applying to establish satellite companies."

  Chu Huan said with a smile.

  This time, the targeted action only includes black and white images, and the movies produced by the satellite company under its name are not included. It can also be seen that Xiangjiang Film and Television Office is only targeting black and white images.

  Fang Jianhui nodded and said: "Well, but this is all expected. The current situation of the company does have some problems for those who don't know the truth. It is reasonable for them to have such a choice."

   Now Fang Jianhui is already a mature manager, and he no longer uses his personal emotions as an important basis for handling a matter.

  Everyone is profit-seeking, and now black and white images are precarious. Everyone has their own ideas, which is what they should be. We cannot require everyone to be a loyal minister and filial son.

  Black and white video is just a company. To put it simply, the artists and directors under it bring huge benefits to the company, and the company provides them with channels to become famous and make money.

   Now that the company has a situation, it is understandable for everyone to think about themselves.

  Chu Huan nodded and said: "Those who want to set up a satellite company can support them, but you must remember that if the contract is not expired and you want to change jobs, then I will severely suppress the other party."

  Chu Huan allows these people to have their own ideas, but absolutely does not allow these people to have ideas that are not good for the company in addition to their own ideas.

  Establishing a satellite company is itself a development plan designated by Black & White Image at the beginning. As long as you have this level in the company, the company will support you to establish your own satellite company.

  In the early days, Xu's Film Industry, which was established by Xu Guanwen, was for this reason.

  But if you haven't reached this level and still want this treatment, or even want to leave the company at this time and start your own business, then this artist will definitely be removed from Xiangjiang.

   "I understand that at this time, the company's system will become stricter!"

  Fang Jianhui nodded.

Regardless of how the Hong Kong government targets the black-and-white images at this time, why can't my own movies be released, but if you want to ban a film artist or director under the volume of black-and-white images, it is really too simple .

   After talking with Fang Jianhui about this for a while, Chu Huan talked to Fang Jianhui about his plan for black and white images.

   "I am going to create a super universe of Hong Kong movies!"

  Chu Huan gave Fang Jianhui a concept that Fang Jianhui couldn't understand at this time.

   "The super universe of Xiangjiang Movies?" Fang Jianhui couldn't help but asked Chu Huan, "What does this mean?"

I believe that if this concept is put into later generations, it will be known to everyone. The so-called Xiangjiang movie super universe is to let Xiangjiang's movies, or the movies produced by black and white images themselves, establish a huge and Complicated cinematic universe story.

  In Chu Huan's vision, such a super movie universe should be a universe with connections, stories, and foreshadowing established by each of Xiangjiang's classic IP movie series.

  In another time and space, Xiangjiang movies were called the peak in the 1980s and 1990s, and countless classic characters and classic series of movies appeared.

  Even Chu Huan, who is not so familiar with Xiangjiang movies, knows that there is actually a problem in Xiangjiang movies from beginning to end.

That is, when Xiangjiang's film company was shooting the first movie, no one actually thought about whether there would be a follow-up sequel series. Everyone discovered that this movie was really popular, so we started shooting immediately. For a movie, as for the logical problem, it can be ignored in the almost crazy Xiangjiang movie.

   Among them, the most classic is the series "True Colors of Heroes". When filming this movie, from the boss of the film company to the director and actors, no one actually thought that this movie would become popular.

  But after this movie became a hit, the film company naturally wouldn't give up such a profitable project, so it will immediately start to include the second part in the shooting plan.

  But at that time, the soul character in the movie, Xiao Ma, had already been headshot in the first movie, what should I do?

   It doesn't matter, just write a twin brother.

  The concept of the Super Xiangjiang Movie Universe that Chu Huan is going to do now is actually to avoid these things as much as possible. Of course, Chu Huan also understands one thing.

That is the environment of Hong Kong Films. The Hong Kong film industry is so big. Almost every super filmmaker has countless classic movies. If they want to integrate their films into the same movie universe, the chaos will definitely be more intense.

   Zhou Runfa has different classic film series such as "The True Colors of a Hero", "God of Gamblers", "Prison Storm", "Heroes", "Blood Heroes" and so on.

   Zhou Xingchi has masterpieces such as "Fight Back To School", "The Saint of Gamblers", "A Chinese Journey to the West", "The Secret Detective Ling Lingfa" and "The God of Cookery".

  Cheng Long also has masterpieces such as "Police Story", "Drunken Master", "Project A", "Flying Eagle Project" and "Thunderbolt".

  If there are Brother Xiao Ma, God of Gamblers Gao Jin, and killer Xiao Zhuang in a universe, it will inevitably cause confusion for movie audiences.

   Just like Chu Huan's Hong Kong comprehensive essay that became popular in the Internet before Chu Huan's rebirth.

  One character with multiple characters will inevitably confuse readers.

  So in order to overcome this, the Super Xiangjiang Movie Universe cannot have only one movie universe, but a different movie universe created by many different movies.

   In addition, according to different eras, a movie universe of an era can also be created.

  The films mainly focus on heroic movies with characters from the 1950s that appeared in later generations.

   Like movies such as "The Lame Man", "Chasing the Dragon", "Four Inspectors", "Dragon and Tiger Brothers", and "Three Flags", the same movie universe can be created according to different times.

  Creating the Hong Kong Movie Super Universe, one is the influence of Chu Huan from Hong Kong Compilation in later generations, and the other is the influence of the Marvel Universe.

  If Chu Huan's black-and-white images are just an ordinary film company in Xiangjiang, this idea is impossible to realize. After all, in another time and space, Xiangjiang's film circle is famous for following trends and invading societies.

  After a popular genre movie comes out, all Xiangjiang movies that fill the screen will be this type of movie. After "God of Gamblers" comes out, there will be an endless stream of gamblers, gamblers, gamblers, gamblers, and gamblers.

  After "Mr. Zombie" came out, Xiangjiang was full of zombie movies again.

   When will all the profits of this type of movie be completely squeezed out before it will stop.

But for Chu Huan, there is no need to worry about it at all, because now Chu Huan's black and white theater chain has basically monopolized the channels of Xiangjiang Films in Hong Kong. The future VCD market will also be monopolized.

To put it simply, black and white images can set the rules for the Xiangjiang film market. As long as the black and white theaters do not show their films, Brothers audiovisuals do not rent out, and sell their video tapes, such a film will basically not exist. The film company dared to touch it again.

  Of course, in order to avoid causing public outrage, black and white images will definitely be shown in some high-quality movies in the future, but the specific operation of this kind of thing will definitely not be handled by Chu Huan, and there needs to be a censorship system.

   In addition, the associations have invaded the film industry. They are actually the originators of follow-up films. Whatever filmmakers are popular, they can find any filmmakers, and any type of film, they can find popular stars and participate in popular movies!

  But now under Chu Huan's suppression, such a thing will definitely not happen.

  So with these two convenient conditions, Xiangjiang movies can be divided into super movie universes one by one.

   After removing some sensitive topics from the content, Chu Huan told Fang Jianhui his vision.

   After Fang Jianhui listened to it, he was immediately dumbfounded.

   "Can movies still play like this?"

  At this time, the concept of movie universe has never appeared, so it is naturally impossible for Fang Jianhui to think of this.

  Speaking of the film universe, in fact, Heung Kong Films is the ancestor of Hollywood and Marvel. In the early days, "Best Partner" and "Five Lucky Stars", the two early classic series of Heung Kong, actually had linkages later.

  The bald man has entered the five lucky stars!

  Of course, at that time, Xiangjiang Films was only thinking of a gimmick, and did not cultivate deeply, so it lost such an opportunity.

"Of course it is possible. The protagonists of two or more movies appear at the same time in a certain movie. It doesn't even need to have too many stories. It is enough to make the audience interested in this matter, and then pass some stories. Design, let them have a linkage, so that's all right."

  Chu Huan is still explaining the concept of Super Xiangjiang Movie Universe for Fang Jianhui in detail.

  Actually, it's too early to bring up this concept at this time. If we can wait another two years, the best time to come up with this concept is when the two series “Best Partner” and “Five Lucky Stars” come out.

Even in the early days, there is no need for the characters of the two movies to interact in the movie. It is only necessary to propose a group such as the other party through the mouths of the characters in the movie. Then, it is easy to implant such a concept into the audience .

   And you can also use the "Five Lucky Stars" series to bring out Cheng Long's "Police Story" series.

  In the movie "Five Lucky Stars", there was a character played by Cheng Long, but at that time, Cheng Long's role in this series was not Chen Jiaju!

Then follow the example of the Marvel Universe and launch a single-person series through the big platform of TVB. Take "Five Lucky Stars" as an example, it is completely possible to create a personal TV series for the five of them. There is no need for too many episodes. A story with eight to ten episodes is fine.

   At that time, the black and white video and TVB will use these movies and derivative dramas to form a fantastic linkage.

  But Chu Huan also understands that when he proposes this concept, the future Xiangjiang movies will completely change from the Xiangjiang movies he knows.

   After being surprised, Fang Jianhui began to think seriously about Chu Huan's suggestion. After a long time, Fang Jianhui preached.

"This matter is too big. If we really want to implement this plan, then all the resources of black and white images will be moved closer to this aspect. The workload of screenwriters, the distribution of actors, and the establishment of the review system will all be reduced. It will be an exhausting affair.

  Especially the concept of putting multiple movies into one universe for dream linkage.

  Before this, we had no precedents to follow, so we could only slowly explore from them. This would be a huge workload for the company's screenwriters. "

  After listening to Fang Jianhui's question, Chu Huan also nodded in agreement.

The idea of ​​Xiangjiang Super Movie Universe that I put forward is very different from Marvel. First, after decades of accumulation of comics, Marvel already has a fixed fan base, and at the same time, comics provide its movie stories. Various fantasy linkage scripts also save countless troubles.

  But the Xiang Super Movie Universe is different. This will be a creative process from scratch. No one knows how to start from scratch in this movie universe.

"And the most important problem is that most of Xiangjiang's screenwriters are invincible in the design of plots, but it is really too difficult for them to set up under the super proposition of creating a universe. .”

  Fang Jianhui continued talking about the difficulty of doing this.

The screenwriters of Xiangjiang movies are like Xiangjiang movies. Many of them think about plots on the shooting scene. According to Wang Jing's description, that is Feizhi. Will write out the next episode.

  So the early Xiangjiang movies were crazy enough and funny enough, but the only thing missing was a rigorous sense of logic.

  Even during the shooting of a certain movie, because a certain actor's performance is brilliant enough, it will be written from a supporting role to a leading role.

  The most classic of these is naturally "The True Colors of Heroes"!

  In this movie, Zhou Runfa's little ma brother can only be counted as the fourth character when the early script came out.

  Listed after Brother Hao, Ajie, and even the villain Ah Cheng.

  But during the filming process, Wu Baige liked the role of Brother Xiao Ma so much, coupled with Zhou Runfa's classic interpretation, he made this character the protagonist.

   Even when it was finally presented to the audience, it shined through all the other characters in the movie.

   But in this super movie universe plan proposed by Chu Huan, the rigor and logic of the movie script are very demanding.

   "That is to say, to solve the concept of Xiangjiang Super Movie Universe, a movie from zero to one is needed, and at the same time, a huge team of screenwriters is needed to serve this matter?"

  After listening to Fang Jianhui's concerns, Chu Huan gave his own conclusion.

  At this time, Chu Huan didn't think he knew more about movies than Fang Jianhui, who had been the general manager of Black and White Video for several years.

  Compared to Fang Jianhui, Chu Huan has the advantage of controlling the future and understanding of the film industry. However, in terms of detailed operations, Chu Huan believes that Fang Jianhui should be stronger than himself.

  Fang Jianhui nodded and said: "That's right, and if the Super Xiangjiang Movie Universe plan is to be implemented, then the starting movie of this universe, that is to say, the first movie, must cause a big enough sensation in Xiangjiang."

   Chu Huan has no opinion on this point.

  The reason why the Marvel Universe was able to succeed in the first ten years and harvest the box office all over the world is due to the success of "Iron Man".

   It is precisely because of the success of Iron Man that the Marvel Universe has an opportunity to start.

  So, Chu Huan's concept of Xiangjiang Super Movie Universe now needs to have such a key to open this universe.

   "In addition, we also need in this universe, the villain BOSS that sets the plot line of a single character, and the powerful BOSS behind the scenes, as the key to open the joint universe."

  Chu Huan laughed and said, "I don't remember telling you this just now?"

Fang Jianhui also smiled and said: "Chairman, this belongs to the basic operation of movies. Since you want to create a super movie universe, there will be a day in the future when characters from these different movie series will appear together in the same movie." In the movie, there are so many protagonists of blockbuster movie series, and their opponents must naturally be worthy of their positions.

   Otherwise, wouldn't it be like a cannon hitting ants, making the audience curse people in the midnight show? "

  Hearing what Fang Jianhui said, Chu Huan laughed and said, "It seems that you have become a qualified film company owner now!"

  Fang Jianhui said in a funny way: "Chairman, don't you just admit me now?"

  Chu Huan laughed and continued, "I do have an idea about this movie."

  Although Chu Huan has seldom participated in the specific affairs of black and white images in these years, the fact that Chu Huan came up with the "Happy Ghost" series was firmly imprinted in Fang Jianhui's heart.

   Even now, this series is still one of the most profitable film series of black and white images. It is no longer the highest box office, but it is definitely a film series that makes money.

   Now hearing what Chu Huan said, his eyes lit up and he asked, "What do you think?"

  Chu Huan thought for a while, and asked, "Huang Boming, are the two of you, Maggie, in the company?"

  Fang Jianhui nodded immediately and said: "I don't know, but the two of them submitted applications to the company at the same time, and they want to jointly establish a satellite company with Ishida!"

  Huang Boming, Mecca, and Ishida founded a film company in the Hong Kong film circle in the 1980s, New Art City!

   Then Xu Ke, Zeng Zhiwei, Shi Nansheng, and Thai Robin joined to form the famous Seven Monsters of New Art City!

  The film that made this company famous in Xiangjiang is Xiangjiang's earliest series of films "Best Partner", and it is also the film with the most moviegoers in Xiangjiang.

   But this movie came out in 1982, nearly five years earlier than it is now.

   "Both of them are so successful that they are qualified to start a satellite company?" Chu Huan asked in surprise.

   "Yes, I already have this qualification!" Fang Jianhui also said with some sighs.

  He now admires Chu Huan's proposal about the Xiangjiang Rising Star Director Grand Prix. This grand prize has indeed provided a lot of super talents for black and white images.

   This is also the case that black and white images can dominate the Xiangjiang film industry in terms of hardware, and can also dominate the Xiangjiang film industry in terms of software.

   "Call them both!"

  Chu Huan Fang Jianhui preached.

  Fang Jianhui nodded, called his secretary, and asked her to call Huang Baiming and Mecca to his office.

   "Mai sir, you said this time we applied to the company to establish a satellite company, will the company think too much?"

  In Mecca's home, Huang Baiming asked Mecca with some concern.

In the movie, Mecca is a happy character, but in real life, Mecca is an unsmiling, even serious person. It is precisely because of his character that many people who are familiar with him now like to call him Mai sir!

  Magga nodded and said: "It is certain to have an idea. We choose to establish a satellite company at this time. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a way of self-protection."

Seeing that Huang Baiming was worried, Mecca smiled and said: "But you don't have to worry too much. We just set up a satellite company, not to completely leave the company. I believe that whether it is Director Chu or President Fang, they will have this kind of heart. What's more, your relationship with Director Liu is so good, as long as Director Liu is around, no one will really say anything to you."

Due to Huang Baiming's success as a screenwriter in the follow-up series of "Happy Ghost", he became Liu Pingkui's queen screenwriter. After working together for a long time, they are both young and willing to play, so their relationship is naturally good. .

  Who doesn't know the whole black and white video, director Liu Pingkui is Chu Huan's childhood friend!

Hearing Megga's ridicule, Huang Baiming also smiled, and said: "It's just that this time we start our own satellite company, we always have to have a good start, just like Xu Guanwen's Xu's film industry, otherwise, we can just do it." It's a joke!"

  In another time and space, the pioneering work of New Art City is "Funny Times" directed by the pseudonym Wu Baige.

  In this movie, Ishida plays the leading role, and Huang Baiming and Mecca also perform.

But now Wu Baige has already disappeared in the Asian film circle, and he must not be found, and the screenwriter of this "Funny Times" is also Wu Baige, so if Huang Baiming, Mecca, and Ishida create their own movies this time The company, it is definitely impossible for this movie to appear!

"I will trouble you with this matter. I can be the director and producer of this movie, but Ishida and the three of us are not as good at writing scripts as you are. For a good movie, the script is the most important thing. You can create a script based on Ishida's characteristics, based on his prototype!"

  Magga suggested to Huang Boming.

  Huang Boming nodded and said, "I will discuss this matter with Ishida soon."

"Ok!"

   While the two were discussing this matter, the phone at Mecca's home rang.

  After putting down the phone, Mecca said to Huang Boming in a complicated manner: "The company called just now, and Director Chu wants to see the two of us!"

  Huang Boming was also shocked by this news, "Mr. Fang can make up his mind about the establishment of a satellite company, so why does Director Chu suddenly want to see the two of us?

   Could something be wrong? "

Mecca was already getting up and putting on his coat at this time, and said: "I don't know, but no matter what, we are going to go there. I don't think Mr. Chu will be angry because of this matter. It should be something else. matter!"

Huang Boming had no choice but to think so at this time, got up and picked up his coat and said: "Now think about it, are we a little anxious about the establishment of a satellite company? We should wait until the Hong Kong Film Festival is over before talking to the company. Mentioning!"

   Mecca smiled calmly, and said: "It's too late to say this at this time, let's go and have a look first!"

"Ok!"

   The two left Mecca's house and drove to the company.

  When the two came to the company, they happened to see Ishida who had finished work at noon. After seeing the two of them, Ishida was also a little surprised.

   "Don't you two have no work today?"

Mecca told Ishida that Chu Huan wanted to meet them. After hearing this, Ishida felt a little complicated. It was the three of them who proposed to start a satellite company. Now Chu Huan only saw Mecca and Huang Boming. Facing Chu Huan at this time, he was still a little disappointed.

   On the contrary, after seeing Ishida, Mecca became more certain in her heart. If Chu Huan wanted to meet them, it should not be for the purpose of instigating the teacher, otherwise Ishida would not be missing.

   "Okay, you don't have to think too much, after meeting with President Chu later, the two of us will visit you!"

  Ishida nodded and said, "Okay!"

  After Mecca, Huang Boming came to Fang Jianhui's office and met Chu Huan.

   After seeing them, Chu Huan didn't mention the matter of the satellite company, but said: "I have a story here, and I need you two to help me write it!"

   After dinner with my family in the evening, I just wanted to take a nap, but I didn't expect it to be past ten o'clock when I woke up.
