1353 [Hollywood Four Kings] Part 1
Hong Kong, Phantom Entertainment Company—
Since Kang's Entertainment rose to Hong Kong, it has become a hot commodity for many media to pursue reports.
The originally powerful Phantom Entertainment also has a huge popularity.
In the past, many Hong Kong media were waiting outside the Phantom Entertainment Company just to get the news to report.
Some even set up small tents in small gardens outside the company or in open spaces to stock up on drinking water and make a "long-term battle" for news reports.
As Phantom Entertainment is no longer popular, there are long since the news media at the door.
But now, the entrance of the huge Phantom Company is full of people.
Those people greeted each other when they met. It turned out that they were all news reporters, from large companies and tabloids. In short, they looked down and didn't look up. But they didn't expect that everyone would gather here at the same time.
"What exactly is the Phantom going to do this time?"
"God knows! Maybe it's a shock!"
"It seems like there are big moves when I hear people telling the Phantom, which is related to those Koreans!"
"No need to guess, they will hold a press conference soon, and everything will be known at that time!"
The reporters gathered together and were speculating about the purpose of bringing them here.
Just when the scene was noisy, the revolving door of Phantom Entertainment Company opened. First, two burly men came out, one with a big bald head and the other with a tiger back and a bear waist. Anyone who knows them knows that these are Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong, the "Hmph and Ha generals" by Song Zhichao and Mr. Song.
"Wow, Mr. Jin and Mr. Xiong are coming out, and it seems that Mr. Song is coming out too!"
really--
After Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong came out, they were waiting at the door, and then a tall figure walked out from inside. The man was so energetic and looked at Shenfei. It was the famous Mr. Song and Song Zhichao!
There is also a large group of people following Song Zhichao. In addition to the leadership of Phantom Entertainment, Liu Dehua, Stephen Chow and others, there are also many bigwigs of the Hong Kong Film Group, including Wu Siyuan, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, and Xiang brothers from the five major companies.
These people followed closely with serious and solemn expressions, which also made the news media more curious and nervous—
What exactly is the Phantom going to do this time?!
At this time, the informant installed by Kang's Entertainment Company was also on the scene and found a seat, preparing to report the situation here to Kang Zuyao at any time.
...
The moment Song Zhichao walked out—
The staff of Phantom Entertainment Company have quickly prepared the press release station, and the microphones for speeches are also prepared on the release station.
Song Zhichao walked straight to the press conference, first holding the microphone with one hand, and tried the audition at it, then glanced at the reporters of many media at the scene, and then said to everyone with his hands behind his back: "I'm glad that everyone can come here to meet today. To be honest, this is the first time since I left Hong Kong, I have invited everyone to hold a press conference. Uh, I miss the previous scene when I think back."
Many media outlets also laughed.
Back then, Song Zhichao was not an "honest person" in Hong Kong, and he would make some earth-shaking news at any time. At that time, Hong Kong media favored him. Regardless of big and small reporters, almost all interviewed Song Zhichao, and also obtained a lot of news from Song Zhichao, and of course they also gained a lot of benefits.
"As for what I invited everyone here today, many people probably have guessed it."
Song Zhichao smiled and glanced at everyone and said, "As we all know, now our Phantom Entertainment and the Hong Kong Film Group under which our Phantom are encountering a big bottleneck. To be precise, it is hard to cook without rice. We want to film, but there are no artists and no actors!"
"All we have is a good script, a good director, and a good movie investor!"
"So, now I announce that our Phantom Entertainment Company and the Hong Kong Film Group will join hands with famous Korean movie stars Mr. Jang Dong-kin, Mr. Song Seung-heon, Mr. Won Bin, as well as Ms. Kim Hee-sun, Ms. Choi Ji-woo, and Ms. Song Hye-kyo to create several cooperative blockbusters!"
Just as Song Zhichao announced the list of cooperation, Zhang Dongjian and his group walked out from behind Song Zhichao, lined up, waved to the many media, and greeted them.
"Oh my God, it turns out to be true!"
"The Phantom and Film Group have invited foreign players!"
"These are all big-name Korean stars!"
"I heard that there will be more Korean stars joining in the future!"
Many media reporters under the venue began to talk.
In this era, the glory of Hong Kong movies is about to come to an end, and the rise of Korean entertainment is also an indisputable fact.
For Song Zhichao, he originally wanted to help Hong Kong movies get out of the predicament and complete a gorgeous transformation, and finally get reborn like a phoenix.
But things go against your wishes, or people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations.
Song Zhichao founded the Hong Kong Film Group with the strength of the film group to break the limitations of the Hong Kong film "star system" and create the Hollywood model, and become a sporting horse.
However, the emergence of Kang's Entertainment smashed Song Zhichao's efforts and made Hong Kong movies recover to waste.
It's too late to say anything now.
In order to defeat Kang Zuyao, Song Zhichao was able to attract foreign players and use the power of Korean stars to stimulate the local film market in Hong Kong.
...
on site--
Many media have already recorded this report, and the informant of Kang's Entertainment also accurately passed the news to Kang Zuyao.
After Kang Zuyao received the news, he sneered: "Invite Korean stars as foreign players? This trick is also a pity that Song Zhichao can think of!"
Kang Yonglian, the second young master of the Kang family, also sneered with his father: "Who doesn't know that only Hong Kong movies in Asia are the number one! Can Korean movies be watched?"
indeed!
Hong Kong movies in this era have its pride.
When it comes to Asian movies, only Hong Kong movies can compete with Hollywood, and even Bollywood in India is not as exciting as Hong Kong movies.
Therefore, in many people's hearts, Hong Kong movies and Hong Kong movie stars are the dominant part of the Asian region.
It is precisely because of this that the Kang family and his son sneered at Song Zhichao with such a move.
It's funny, interesting, thinking that Song Zhichao was helpless and finally struggled.
...
There were also many people at the scene who had the same ideas as the Kang father and son.
In their opinion, Song Zhichao was at a desperate situation.
To put it nicely, it is to invite foreign players, but no matter how famous these Korean stars are, can they compare with those Hong Kong superstars?
It is not of the same level in the Asian region at all!
So someone smiled contemptuously.
Some people are full of sarcasm for Song Zhichao's actions.
Although these people are a minority, they represent many Hong Kong people, representing their prejudice and narrow-mindedness-
I think Hong Kong movies are the most powerful!
I think Hong Kong stars are undefeated!
"How can Korean stars replace Hong Kong stars?"
"Yes, even if they are all handsome men and beautiful, they still need to learn their acting skills!"
"No, this must be the Phantom Company and the Hong Kong Film Group taking it as a living!"
...
Faced with the "polarization" reactions from everyone at the scene, Song Zhichao seemed to be prepared.
I saw him waved slightly down on the stage, signaling everyone to calm down.
"Calm down! Mr. Song has something to say!"
"Silence, Mr. Song is about to explode again!"
Some media who are familiar with Song Zhichao’s personality can’t help but remind their companions.
After having more contact with Song Zhichao, many people will know that Song Zhichao’s favorite thing is to “suppress first and then rise”. Breaking outs are often placed at the end, which is enough to scare people.
