Chapter 285: Demons Dance in Flurry (Part [-])

DreamWorks has gained a good reputation for doing local charity from time to time, and it has a superior geographical location to achieve such good results. This is something that others cannot learn from.

Sometimes having a good reputation can indeed avoid a lot of problems.

"If only we had such a good channel." In Golden Harvest's chairman's office, Daheng Zou looked at the newspaper in his hand and sighed to his old buddy.

That day he saw that all the newspapers were reporting the box office of "Butterfly Effect".

Among them, Ming Pao said a sentence that touched him very much. This sentence is "channel is king".

Zou Daheng was convinced after reading the newspaper.

He Guanchang said helplessly: "It's impossible! We only earn a little money a year. It's really hard to build a building like DreamWorks. Even building one a year is enough. That is, we have to pay dividends to shareholders every year, which is even more difficult.”.

In fact, part of Golden Harvest's capital comes from Japan, otherwise you would think why they can easily enter the Japanese market, and having investments from all directions has brought them huge benefits.

That is, the establishment of personal relationships is very good, but there are also drawbacks, that is, they have to pay dividends every year, which is a troublesome thing for a company that is motivated to become bigger and stronger.

In addition, movies are not very profitable to be honest. Small money is easy to make big money, which is why Hollywood's top eight are dying now. The investment risk is a bit high!

"Are you saying that they are too bullying? You see that DreamWorks has made a lot of money in other areas, and a lot of resources are devoted to movies. This is simply unfair competition!" Zou Daheng said a little annoyed .

It's no wonder that his mentality is out of balance, it's too shocking, and he also makes movies, why is there such a big gap!

Thinking about their Golden Harvest, it took a lot of hard work to get to the present. It was not once or twice to face the ban of Shaw Brothers, and it was inevitable to encounter challenges from new companies, but these did not make him discouraged.

Because when facing Shaw Brothers, he was not in awe of the big but not strong Shaw Brothers Film Company in his heart. He knew the situation of Shaw Brothers very well, and he was confident that he would be the one who won in the end.

In the face of the emerging New Art City, he also calmly dealt with it. There is nothing to be afraid of. Lei Daheng did not understand movies by himself, and their channels were not perfected by himself. For themselves, they don't make as much money as they do.

Because he has the magic weapon of Cheng Long, Japan is their own ticket warehouse, and the organization of Xinyi City is very unstable. As long as they are good with their hoe, their corners will slowly form holes. Big trees fall unexpectedly.

It's just that when facing DreamWorks, he was a little bit blind. It was like a cancerous tumor that couldn't be touched.

It is also like a tempting poisonous apple, arousing my greed.

Suppression is impossible. They are the strongest in every aspect, and they take the theaters that others can't ask for, and they are built like dumplings.

The rich can afford to lose money, and there is no problem in filming literary and artistic films in a hurry.

As for his familiarity with movies, his boss is a top director, and his sensitivity to the market is no worse than his own, so how can he do that!

He Guanchang can understand the mood of his old buddy very well. He is very proud in the field of film, but it is no wonder that he does not feel uncomfortable seeing the juniors throwing himself far away without any effort!

"Raymond, this is a non-war crime. We are a pure film company, and we can't compete with others in the development of the industrial chain. Also, our cooperation with DreamWorks is also a huge profit! Be careful!" He Guanchang said.

Daheng Zou felt much better when he heard He Guanchang's words, he said: "It's just a little depressed, Ah Chang, you said we followed their path from the beginning, is Golden Harvest another DreamWorks now?".

He Guanchang thought for a while and said: "Impossible! You don't know what our situation was at that time. We can only survive by cooperating with Southeast Asian theater chains. If we develop our own theater chains, I am afraid that Golden Harvest does not exist now. ".

In fact, Zou Daheng knew it was impossible when he said this.

Every company has its own development track, which cannot be imitated by other companies.

There is a saying that does not say: "Those who resemble me live, those who resemble me die." This is the same truth, and everyone's success cannot be copied.

Zou Daheng said again: "Do you think we have a little side business, and the ability to resist risks in movies alone is not strong!".

He has thought about this problem for a long time. Through the current situation of DreamWorks, he knows that filming alone cannot grow, and he can only make a little money in other ways to develop his own film.

He Guanchang was stumped by the question raised by Zou Daheng, he had never thought about this question before, besides the two of them seemed to know nothing but movies!

A few years ago, they also launched a newspaper, but it was not ideal at all. It is still half-dead now, with only more than 1 copies per issue, basically maintaining a posture of neither earning nor losing.

This is also the reason why they haven't reached out to develop elsewhere in recent years.

"Raymond, I haven't thought about this. What do you think we can develop?" He Guanchang asked back.

"What do you think we are involved in real estate?" Zou Daheng said. The real estate industry has been booming in recent years. Several of his sons and daughters persuaded him to enter real estate many times, and his ears were callused.

Since someone kept talking about it in his ears, he took a closer look, and he felt that it was a good business. It was a profitable business, and he was a little eager to move around!

This is not the time to tell his old buddy.

After thinking for a while, He Guanchang said: "It is possible, but our main business is still movies. It is best to build a few more theaters of our own.".

Daheng Zou saw that his old man agreed with his decision, so he said happily: "Of course! This is our old line of business. Although there is no possibility of catching up with DreamWorks in the direction of theaters, we still have to build."

Since then Jiahe began to enter the real estate industry.

It is said that the popularity of "Butterfly Effect" has led many people to enter the film industry to earn a living. In this short period of half a month, more than a dozen companies have been newly established.

They all want a piece of the action, preferably with a movie like The Butterfly Effect.

Most of these are people who want to get rich overnight.

Zhao Hong has been carefully treating Miss Sun Er's eyes during this period of time, and now her eyesight is much better, at least she can see things in front of her more clearly.

"Grandma Sun, your eyes are recovering well. Originally, it was estimated that it would take half a year, but now it can be shortened by two months." Zhao Hong said after giving Miss Sun the medicine once.

"Thank you, Hongzi! I didn't expect a day when I, a bad old woman, can see things clearly!" said Ms. Sun Er. During this period of time, she was with Zhao Hong's grandma, and her mentality improved a lot.

But now she misses her precious grandson and granddaughter a little bit, and wants to go back sooner.

Some time ago, his eldest daughter called her back, saying that they bought a big courtyard in the capital, and the whole family moved in. She could imagine that she could see her grandson and granddaughter at any time, how happy it was!

Although she had a good life in Zhao's house, there was an old girl who chatted with her.

However, although Liang Yuan is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time.

The only thing she is relying on now is her next generation, otherwise what is the point of living!
