When Ye Jin heard Guo Zhenghong mention Chu Hong, he couldn't help but blink. He had admired this beauty for a long time.

Chung Chuhong, known as Hong Gu, is one of the most eye-catching red stars in the Xiangjiang film industry. She is known as the [Four Famous Dans] together with Lin Qingxia, Zhang Manyu and Mei Yanfang.

The movies she starred in, such as "The Dao Ma Dan", "Fairy Tale in Autumn", "The World", "Fire Dance in the Storm and Clouds", "Moon, Stars and Sun", etc., are all classic works in Xiangjiang movies.

And she is full of glamor and beautiful in the movie, which also makes her an object of admiration for countless people. Leslie Cheung once praised, "No woman in Xiangjiang is more suitable for wearing fur than Hong Gu."

Jackie Chan also praised, "Chris Chung is like a beautiful peacock. As soon as she opens her screen, all the other women in the audience will be overshadowed."

Cherie Chung is also known as Marilyn Monroe of Hong Kong, and ranked first in the Taiwan magazine selection [Top Ten Sexual Women] in Hachino, which shows how popular and beautiful she is.

Ye Jin didn't expect that this beautiful woman was signed under his command. This was really a place to search for it without any effort!

"Well, I have the chance to go to Jiayi to take a look." He thought to himself, and then said to Guo Zhenghong, "Tomorrow you send someone to my house, I have a script for Sammo Hung."

"Yes, Mr. Ye." Guo Zhenghong immediately felt refreshed and nodded happily.

The script written by Ye Jin is synonymous with box office. Not to mention the achievements he has made in Hong Kong, the movie adapted from his script alone has accumulated more than one billion US dollars in box office, which is very impressive!

...

Ye Jin stayed at Myth Film for more than an hour, looked at the company's accounts over the past two years, and talked about the company's development with Guo Zhenghong.

Myth Films is still backing the big tree of Jiahe. Jiahe originally intended to join Myth Films, but as Ye Jin's strength expands, Jiahe no longer dares to make this idea. After all, with Ye Jin's financial resources, it is just a piece of cake to acquire Jiahe in reverse.

Because the big boss of Myth Film is Ye Jin and the second boss of Jiahe, and there are first-line movie stars such as Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, and Sammo Hung, he has a very outstanding position in the Xiangjiang film industry. He is known as the third giant, second only to Xiao and Jiahe.

The disadvantage of Myth Film is that it does not have its own theaters and overseas distribution channels and relies heavily on Jiahe.

Ye Jin actually hopes that Myth Film can make up for this shortcoming, but investing in theaters is an extremely expensive thing. Because all cinemas are located in downtown areas, and the housing prices in downtown areas can be said to be quite high, and even rentals are not cheap.

What's more, Ye Jin knew that if the house was only rented but not sold, no matter how hard it was to run the theater in the end, it would be just a job for the landlord. If Myth Film wants to develop theaters, then the house must be purchased.

In this way, you don’t have to worry about the landlord’s rent. Moreover, once the movie market is not good, the theater can be converted into supermarkets or shops, and you can still earn rent.

It was like Xiao's family. Xiao Runze came to Xiangjiang in the 1950s to develop. Because he was rich and invested earlier, he bought the theaters rather than rented them.

This also allowed him to own a large number of properties located in downtown areas, and he was therefore called the [Downtown Land King]. In recent years, with the decline in Xiao's performance, Xiao Runze closed several theaters with the worst performance and changed them to shops for rent, and even earned more than cinemas.

Ye Jin also wanted to become a downtown land king like Xiao Runze, but now the housing market in Xiangjiang is very booming. Not only are houses for sale in downtown areas rarely sold, but the prices are also outrageous. No matter how much the stock market crash in the previous two years, when the oil crisis broke out, the streets were full of shops waiting for sale.

If Ye Jin wants to build his own theater chain, he will spend at least 200 million to 300 million Hong Kong dollars in terms of funds. Whether it is cost-effective to build a theater chain with so much money is to draw a big question mark first.

Secondly, whether there is sufficient film source after the theater chain is established is also something that needs to be considered.

A theater chain needs at least twenty movies a year to meet basic business needs. Mythology Pictures does not have that large output at all, so how to gather the source of films is also a problem.

In the end, Jiahe also holds nearly half of the shares of Myth Film, and how to divide it is also a troublesome. Jiahe is definitely unwilling to sell this shares, but he doesn't want to force Jiahe out. After all, he was not Jiahe at the beginning, so he couldn't go to Hollywood, so he shouldn't forget his roots too much.

...

Expanding overseas issuance channels also requires connections and long-term operations.

The reason why the six Hollywood giants have always stood firm in the face of countless competitors over the past hundred years is because they have mastered the channels for movie distribution, especially overseas distribution channels.

Their distribution channels are carefully managed in decades or even hundreds of years.

For example, Angle Theater, which specializes in the distribution of western films in Xiangjiang, has signed a long-term cooperation agreement with Hollywood Universal and Columbia, and only released the movies released by them.

Jiahe has a close cooperation with Warner Pictures, and Jiahe Theater only releases Warner movies. Xiao releases Fox and Paramount movies. Disney's movies are released by Princess Golden, owned by Lei Jue Kun.

The six Hollywood giants basically monopolized the theater chains in Xiangjiang through distribution agreements signed with theater chain dealers. Therefore, if other Hollywood film companies want to publish movies to Xiangjiang, they must cooperate with the six giants. Otherwise, it will not work at all.

In this way, the six Hollywood giants can make a fortune by relying solely on monopoly on distribution channels. Other film companies will lose money in vain.

In addition, the film industry has always been an industry with extremely high risks. Only half of the movies invested every year can recover the cost. Other film companies don’t make much money, and once the movie loses, it is easy to bear huge debts.

In comparison, although the six giants also take risks, they have an additional monopoly issuance fee, so their ability to resist risks is far stronger than other companies.

It’s like DreamWorks that year, it filmed a large number of excellent films, such as the "Monster Shrek" series, "Artificial Intelligence AI", "Cat and Mouse Game", "Meeting the Father-in-law" series, "Happy Terminal", "Transformers", etc., which were well received and popular. It was originally incredible and was once regarded as the seventh largest giant in Hollywood.

But just because DreamWorks does not have its own distribution channels, it relies heavily on giants such as Global and Paramount. This makes its movies sell well globally, but the money they really get from DreamWorks is greatly reduced.

On the contrary, Universal, Paramount and others made a lot of money by releasing DreamWorks movies. Moreover, when several DreamWorks movies were in losses, resulting in huge debts and being unable to support them, they used the money they earned from releasing DreamWorks movies to buy DreamWorks.

Therefore, after a century of operation, most other companies have been destroyed by the wind and waves, but the six major companies have always stood tall and their status remains unchanged.

Nowadays, the distribution channels of Hong Kong films are monopolized by Jiahe and Xiao family, such as Taiwan, Nanyang, Japan, South Korea and other places.
