0276 [End of Golden Harvest]

After chatting with Kevin Feige, Wan Xiaohu was more confident in acquiring Marvel Comics. Kevin was also an ambitious person. It would be more tempting to make him a boss without shares, and it would definitely not occupy a board seat.

Wan Xiaohu promised to give him a seat once the acquisition is successful. This person will be the source of motivation for Marvel Comics' future and is worth investing in.

With an agreement, the rest is to cooperate with the inside and outside.

Kevin Feiqi only manages and implements the movie strategy to make shareholders feel a sense of crisis, and Wan Xiaohu takes the opportunity to take over these loose shares!

Once the plan is formulated, there will naturally be business development personnel to operate it.

All Wan Xiaohu needs to do is to continue to invest in the filming of "Kung Fu Panda".

Time just slipped away bit by bit.

The annual highlight of Sasha Entertainment, "Saw 3", which was released in North America on October 28, was once again popular all over the world with a cost of $10 million. After more than two months of box office, North America was 80.24 million US dollars and 165 million US dollars worldwide, ending perfectly, setting a new series high.

In December, "The City of Damage" co-directed by Mai Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang was released. In the mainland, Chen Kaige's blockbuster "The Promise" invested by 350 million yuan was captured and won 60 million yuan. Hong Kong, South Korea and other places also performed well. The entire release period ended, and the global box office actually exceeded 100 million yuan.

Dandelion's film production this year is not high, with only two movies, "Initial D" and "Wreak City", but both have good box offices. Sasha Entertainment has three movies released, and both "Source Code" and "Saw 3" have excellent box office harvests. "Butterfly Effect 2" also performed well in DVD sales.

At the same time, Tiger Ruiya finally signed a final contract with Jiahe's tycoon Zou Wenhuai and sold the shares. At this point, Tiger Ruiya completed the acquisition of Jiahe Entertainment with 89.64%. Of course, in terms of external publicity, the nominal acquirer was Dandelion Film Company.

"The old legend is replaced by the new legend!" CCTV's "News Broadcast" program gave half a minute of reporting time for the first time.

Just before the "News Broadcast" report, Wan Xiaohu had already handled everything in North America and flew to Hong Kong.

Everyone knows that the boss of Dandelion, the Wan Xiao Nurse, is naturally indispensable for this acquisition.

In the reception hall of Jiahe Company, Wan Xiaohu and Zou Wenhuai sat on the rostrum, and each symbolically signed his own names on the documents in the flash of thousands of media outlets.

Then he stood up and shook hands with each other.

"Click!"

"Click!"

Flashes come one after another, and shutter sounds continue.

Zou Wenhuai is wearing glasses, and his thin body seems to contain huge energy. This is a tycoon in the history of Hong Kong films that is comparable to Run Run Shaw, Shaw's kingdom. Wan Xiaohu smiled, had a straight suit, and his hair was combed brightly. His eyes looked at the camera as sharp as a hawk.

One is a movie tycoon from the last century, and the other is a current international director.

This handshake means that a new generation has replaced the old one. Zou Wenhuai completely bid farewell to Jiahe Entertainment, and Wan Xiaohu will immediately become the chairman of Jiahe Entertainment Group. He also expressed that the right to speak in Chinese films has been transferred from Hong Kong to the mainland, and Hong Kong films and mainland films have begun to be merged into one.

"Let's see another set of news. Jiahe Entertainment Group, known as the most successful film company in the golden age of Hong Kong films, was officially listed today. It was acquired by Dandelion Film Company, the largest private entertainment company in the mainland. Former Chairman of Jiahe Entertainment Zou Wenhuai and famous director Wan Xiaohu held a signing ceremony to see the detailed report."

In "News Broadcast", after the host finished speaking, the screen immediately switched to the signing ceremony. Flashes kept flashing on the screen, and under the screen were dense microphones, and in the middle were Wan Xiaohu and Zou Wenhuai's hands tightly clasped together.

"After the signing ceremony in Hong Kong on January 19, 2006, Beijing time, Zou Wenhuai and Wan Xiaohu were interviewed by reporters. Zou Wenhuai said that his greatest wish was to see the rise of Chinese films. Wan Xiaohu also said that he would do his best to contribute to the rise of Chinese films..."

CCTV was alarmed, let alone other media.

As the end of the year approaches, two news has shrouded China, one is that Chen Kaige's blockbuster "The Promise" was scolded by the audience, and the other is the acquisition case.

"Dandelion Film Company, known as the leader of private entertainment enterprises in the mainland, completed a gorgeous snake swallowing elephant and was fed up with the old Hong Kong film company Jiahe Entertainment. It is reported that the transaction amount reached HK$600 million, and Dandelion Holdings 89.64% of Jiahe Entertainment's shares, becoming the largest single shareholder." - Xinhua Daily.

"Dandelion may become the first entertainment stock in mainland China. There is currently no precedent for entertainment stocks to be listed in China, and relevant policies are being studied quickly. Jiahe Entertainment also rose by three percentage points due to the acquisition case. Dandelion may intend to delist and reorganize, and then go public through a backdoor listing." - "Yangcheng Evening News".

"Hong Kong movies were captured by the mainland?" - "Next Weekly" gave an exaggerated title and then gave a detailed introduction to Jiahe.

In 1970, Zou Wenhuai ran away from Shaw Brothers, co-founded Jiahe Company with He Guanchang and Liang Feng, and relied on Bruce Lee to quickly become the overlord of Hong Kong movies. "Brother Tangshan", "The King of War" and "The Dragons Crossing the River" starring Bruce Lee broke the Hong Kong box office record for three consecutive years.

After Bruce Lee's death in 1973, he relied on the Xu brothers, Cheng Long, Sammo Hung, Maggie Cheung and other stars to break box office records many times and became the absolute overlord in the 1970s and 1980s. He also launched the Jiahe brand overseas. Almost where there are Chinese people, there are Jiahe movies.

He even entered Hollywood and filmed many wholly-owned Hollywood movies in Hong Kong. So far, Jiahe’s film library has more than 600 movies. After entering the new millennium, Hong Kong films declined, Zou Wenhuai grew old, Jiahe became increasingly weak, and began to reduce film production and involved in film financing, distribution, theater operations and film printing businesses.

Currently, Jiahe has a total of 30 cinemas, with a total of 242 cinemas, accounting for 13%, 50%, 28%, 31% and 44% of the theater markets in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and Qianzhen respectively.

"Today, the decline of Hong Kong films is no longer a new topic. It's just that Jiahe, which has been in the Hong Kong film industry for 30 years, has also come to an end, which has made people sigh again. Now, it can be announced that the era of Hong Kong films has ended and Hong Kong films have been captured by the mainland!"

The media have been feeling or admiring about the acquisition of Jiahe, and Mtime Time Network and Youku Video also played the interview video of Zou Wenhuai and Wan Xiaohu.

"I have been making movies for 50 years. Anyone who has been doing them for so long should have retired. His brain and eyesight have declined and he cannot always occupy a seat. My biggest regret now is that mainland movies are open too late. If I were twenty years earlier and I was twenty years younger, I would have the opportunity to experience the day when Chinese movies became a success in themselves."

In the video, Zou Wenhuai said gently, and Wan Xiaohu listened with a smile.

"What I am most satisfied with in my life is that I can do things for myself and give them to another person who can do things for myself. In recent years, the market has been bad, the market has shrunk, the production has decreased, and the number of people engaged in movies has also decreased. So in the future, I will not interfere in Dandelion's plan. I know Dandelion will be very enthusiastic about the development of the film industry."

Wan Xiaohu was also full of emotion: "Jiahe is a great film company. I feel honored and stressed to be able to take over Jiahe. But I believe that Jiahe's flag will not fall, and Hong Kong movies will not decline. It will integrate with mainland movies and truly become a part of Chinese movies."

Zou Wenhuai nodded: "Many Hong Kong people are used to using the word 'Chinese movie', but I think it is more accurate to say 'Chinese movie'. The boundaries between mainland China and Hong Kong have become increasingly blurred. It will take not long for Hong Kong and mainland movies to merge, because they are the same culture and language after all. Chinese movies have begun to be commercialized in recent years and are developing and have a strong advantage. Although Hollywood movies are still the hottest, many people still like to watch movies of their own culture, so I think Chinese movies are the only opportunity to compete with Hollywood."

"Old Zou said what I want to say. The rise of Chinese films is unstoppable, just like the rise of China is unstoppable. The road ahead of us is tortuous and thorny, but our future is bright, and no one can deny or reverse this trend!"

At the end of the video, Zou Wenhuai and Wan Xiaohu wish the audience a happy New Year.

Video alone is not enough, Mtime Time Network is still on the home page of the red letter slaughter version.

The title is: "Dandelion acquires Jiahe."

The subtitle is: "The end of a dynasty, the beginning of a dynasty!" The title is the Jiahe square-shaped logo on the left, the dandelion logo on the right, and the middle is January 19, 2006.

Click on the title to show detailed reports and comments from many netizens.

"From Bruce Lee to Wan Xiaohu, one dragon and one tiger are going to save Chinese movies!" [White is a realm] Such a clamor represents the voice of many netizens.

Of course, it doesn’t matter what reactions the outside world have.

After the signing ceremony, Wan Xiaohu returned to the capital without staying for too long.

Then have a meeting before the Chinese New Year.

"I won't say much about what to do. You are professionals. What I mean is very simple, go public and raise funds! Then enter the downstream theaters, build cinemas on a large scale across the country, and then form our own theater chains!"

The first batch of franchise theaters in 2002 officially expired this year, and a new round of theater reorganization began. This time, unlike the last time it was shared by state-owned studios. Radio and Television has introduced policies to allow foreign capital to enter theaters and participate in the reorganization. Wan Xiaohu will definitely not be allowed to miss such a good reshuffle opportunity.

Move your mouth and arrange the task like this and the meeting will be over.

"New Year is coming again, time passes so fast." In the brand new office, Wan Xiaohu looked at the scenery away and felt a lot of emotion.
Chapter completed!
