No. 91 Hongtu Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, not far from MTR Station, a four-storey retro low building with iron fences in front of the door, British and Chinese styles. The overall style resembles the steam era and Republic of China style of the corrupt country Victoria.

The ○-shaped copper street sign is engraved with the Chinese characters of "1024", and the lining is embossed with the front image of the retro old-fashioned coal train, and the huge street sign number is - '91' below.

1024&91 Two magical numbers held a historical...sex meeting here. Fortunately, its owner is not named "Qin".

In front of the door.

The email address was deliberately made into a copper camera, which has both literary and artistic sense and industrial sense.

Movies are the industrialization of art.

Kwun Tong District is a traditional industrial area in Hong Kong Island, with low rent and housing prices. I bought a small building here in less than 100 million.

Hongtu Road can be regarded as a relatively prosperous area in Kwun Tong, but there are many old buildings and the prices will not be very high.

It is not far from the original site, and it is also very convenient to the 1024 Locomotive (Shatin) film production base. It is also not far from various newspapers.

In addition to the broadcast channel, Kwun Tong is also a gathering place for many tabloids.

The decline of industry, the distortion of culture, and strange flowers grow in decay. Hong Kong Island is a very strange place.

In later generations, Hongtudao was very famous.

It can be regarded as a pilgrimage place for many Hong Kong film fans.

The most famous one is "No. 77 Hongtu Road·Galaxy Image".

After the decline of this traditional industrial area of ​​Hong Kong, it can be regarded as a cheap place for Hong Kong Island, and it has a very old Hong Kong flavor.

In the late 1990s, the film industry declined, which led to many film companies putting companies or offices here. Over time, this side became the most famous film company street in Hong Kong.

Later generations, Er Dongsheng's infinity films, Chen Kexin's studio, Hong Jinfei's Baoxiang movies, Xu Yi's film studio, Shi Nansheng's creative alliance, Gao Zhisen's Gao Zhisen Pictures, Xian Qiran's film company, Zhou Guozhong's production company... All of them are here, this is just a part of the names and surnames, and the rest are like crucian carp crossing the river, countless.

In addition, Liu Weiliang's basic film is located not far away on Weiye Street, and the sky where Andy Lau lost his life is also located not far away on Qiaoming Street.

After the decline of Hong Kong films in later generations, there were many gangsters in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. After 2000, Hong Kong people went north, and a group of gangsters also took the opportunity to go to Guangdong Province and several neighboring provinces and cities to cheat food and drink. Later, a group of gangsters in Hong Kong films began to be given to Zhao'an by internet celebrities from all over the country, and cooperated with them to continue to cheat the "old men's" of money.

Kwun Tong is also the office address of many mainland film companies in Hong Kong Island. For example, Tangren pretends to be here... Although Cai Yinong is very loyal, she really delayed Xiao Hu in the film industry...

No. 91 here is the new address of Locomotive Film Company, 1024.

Before, Wu Xiaozu had communicated with Jiang Jiahua and Su Liyao to find a new company office address.

After all, the Deli Building is not that convenient.

Nowadays, there are many old buildings in Kwun Tong, and the industry has declined. Most of the merchants have gone north to Pengcheng, which has led to empty buildings here. Since we know that this place will become a new entertainment distribution center in Hong Kong in the future, there is no reason not to buy it when it is cheap.

Not to mention anything else, these four-story buildings in later generations are probably worth billions.

Some people may ask, is it exaggerating?

It's just so exaggerated!

As for the office address of the Locomotive 1024 in Johnston Dawning Building, the full right was given to the company address of Jianghu Hui Film.

After all, the big-breasted brother is now lying “the most Chinese-language person from ancient times to the present”, but he is actually worthy of being a false reputation?

“One, two, four?”

Zhang Jiazhen was wearing a dark suit and a blue shirt, looking at the low building in front of him with a curious smile.

Compared with Jiahe, Debao's modern office space on several floors, it looks more "movie-like"

"Brother Zhen——"

Seeing the middle-aged man with the same style as Li Chaoren walking in, Wu Xiaozu, who had been waiting for a long time, came first to greet him with a smile, and followed him by Jiang Zhiqiang, Jiang Jiahua and Le Yiling.

Among them, Le Yiling is also a new executive who joined the 1024 Locomotive after the year.

"Wu Sheng, you're ruining me. How dare I let the boss greet you in person?" Zhang Jiazhen laughed and joked. He was extremely happy to see Wu Xiaozu attaching so much importance to him.

This time, Locomotive Film Company took great pains to attract Zhang Jiazhen and Le Yiling, two talents.

Wu Xiaozu also specifically instructed Su Liyao to re-determine the equity to express his sincerity.

Le Yiling joined TVB in his previous life, and Zhang Jiazhen became a big shot in the film industry comparable to Jiang Zhiqiang, so it is naturally not easy to win over the company.

Rather than talking about human feelings, it is better to talk about interests and the future.

Of course, interests are the moment, and the future is what these geniuses value the most.

The annual box office of a company is nearly 300 million yuan, including peripheral products, licensing and other revenues, with revenue of nearly 100 million yuan, which is enough for them to see an unlimited future.

The reason why Zhang Jiazhen left Debao is more the same.

Naturally, Pan Shixin would not let it go easily. His focus was on his own Dison Group. Debao is the ATM he made a fortune. How could he allow others to share the profits?

Of course, Debao's internal infighting is also involved here.

1024·Locomotive's equity structure is re-adjusted, and Wu Xiaozu also gave Jiang Jiahua and Jiang Zhiqiang 2% of the shares plus a 1.5% dividend reward. Le Yiling and Zhang Jiazhen will receive 1.5% of the shares, but enjoy the same reward dividends as the previous two.

In addition, Wu Xiaozu took out 5% of the company's equity incentive pool.

The outside world is ambiguous about the valuation of the 1024 Locomotive, a company with revenue of nearly 100 million yuan. Because it was not listed, and there was no concept of entertainment stocks at this time.

It is not like an industrial company. Industrial companies have hard assets. Even if the profits are too low, they will have accurate valuations, and at least they will generate a number of more than ten times or even dozens of times.

There is no such situation as Internet thinking, which is worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars.

As a film company, the 1024 Locomotive has its own production studio, printing company, and editing studio, but it does not have much hard assets. Wu Xiaozu had no idea about the theater.

This is a burden.

As 97 approaches, the Hong Kong film industry is filled with a speculative mentality of "making a fortune". Isn't Wanwan film merchants stupid? Naturally, they are unwilling to be suckers!

Just so happened that at the end of 1992, both the Mainland and Wanwan expressed the 1992 consensus verbally... Therefore, Wanwan film manufacturers had the capital to seize the cost of maneuvering and interviewed the Hong Kong Film Industry Association, asking the latter to suppress production costs and lower film pay.

At that time, those people were already crazy... Even the troublemaker Wang Jingdu later scolded these people for being too greedy!

Wanwan film merchants collectively withdrew their investment!

Then, the Wanwan authorities immediately adjusted two far-reaching film policies, one was to relax the import restrictions on Hollywood and Japanese films, and the other was to allow Wanwan film merchants to go to the mainland to shoot outdoor scenes.

These two policies give Taiwanese audiences and film producers more choices, especially the latter.

The narrow-mindedness and gaze of Hong Kong people directly pushed themselves into the abyss. The mainland has strengthened restrictions on shoddy Hong Kong films and co-productions. Before that, Hong Kong Island and the mainland had restrictions on co-productions and were relaxed. Otherwise, Wenwen would not have asked Hong Kong funds to shoot "Sunny Days".

Southeast Asian markets have also begun to restrict them, and the money to invest in Hong Kong movies is transferred to domestic movies with cheaper costs.

The distance from capital has made Hong Kong films lose their ability to make blood.

In addition, the sharp shrinkage of the Hong Kong local market completely cut off the last chance of Hong Kong movies. In 1993, the number of moviegoers was more than 20 million less than in 1988, and the emergence of pirated CDs... theaters all went bankrupt one by one.

The 97 financial crisis completely made the Hong Kong film market lose hope.

The prosperity of Hong Kong films is part of the emergence of talents, and the most important thing is the influx of large amounts of investment! It turns out that without money, they can't do anything! This is only when they wake up in later generations, but unfortunately it's too late!

The prosperity of mainland films in later generations once again proved the great influence of capital on the entertainment industry! Then, under the general trend and the official acquiescence and support, Teacher Cui was able to escape. Little Cannon and the Wang brothers also knew this.

Capital is like a disobedient child, always tightening from time to time!

You are allowed to cut the money of investors, but you dare to steal the money of the country? Humph! (This is the common understanding of the capital market, don’t be 404!)

…

The first floor of the company is not just a front desk like many modern offices.

"Butterfighter on the Rainy Night", "Young and Dangerous" series, "Two Heroes", "Fear Room", "Suspect", "The Legend of the Beautiful Girl", "Mong Kok Carmen"... The surroundings of a number of movies include posters to some small props.

Some of the monumental props in the filming are placed in the first floor lobby, giving people the feeling of entering a museum instead of a company.

Wu Xiaozu himself doesn't like serious company scope very much.

The entire company is divided into eight functional departments.

Production Department, Administrative Management Department, Finance Department, Human Resources Department, Distribution Department, Planning and Creativity Department (Editor Department), Marketing Public Relations Department and Legal Department.

Jiang Jiahua serves as the deputy general manager of the 1024 Locomotive, mainly focusing on the Finance Department and the Marketing Public Relations Department.

Zhang Jiazhen is in charge of the issuance department and serves as the manager of the issuance department. Jiang Ershao is in charge of the production department, Su Liyao is in charge of the legal department, and Le Yiling is in charge of the administrative department. As for the planning and creative department, there is no good candidate, so let it go first, and Wu Xiaozu himself is watching for the time being.

Among them, the production department and the distribution department are two of the most important departments of the film company.

Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Jiazhen are experts in operating films in previous lives. One is good at coordinating the production of movies, and the other is particularly good at publishing.

Wu Xiaozu wanted to organize the 1024 Locomotive Film Company, Jianghu Emergency Film, Star Entertainment, and Universal International together. Of course, it was not simply integrated, but the company was chaotic.

If the E7 culture is successful, you can try this model then.

"Brother Zhen, we are not short of local distribution and Wanwan distribution now. The box office results of several movies released before also prove our distribution capabilities.

But overseas issuance channels are crucial. I asked the Second Young Master to be responsible for communication before, but the channels are not easy to connect..." Wu Xiaozu straightforward.

He divided the shares to Zhang Jiazhen, and what he saw was the other party's ability and connections in the issuance market.

"No problem, in Southeast Asia, we can cooperate with local companies and establish our own distribution channels. This will avoid being opposed by local film manufacturers.

In terms of North American and European markets, I will first contact the film manufacturers I have worked with before to see if there is any possibility of cooperation." Zhang Jiazhen also understands his value and does not hide it.

Instead, he looked at Wu Xiaozu even more.

Before, he admired Wu Xiaozu because of his talent. But now it seems that his vision and mind are extraordinary.
