At present, the remuneration of Hong Kong artists has been rising, and many small companies have become a little bit unable to hold on. Some of them have been directly transformed into animation film companies.

Due to DreamWorks' achievements in the field of animated films, it attracted film producers from Europe or other places, and they suddenly became interested in Hong Kong's animated films.

In fact, the animated films produced by many animation film companies in Hong Kong do not meet the standards of DreamWorks, so they are not distributed externally. This allows many foreign film producers to see opportunities. They cooperate in the form of buyouts, and still make a lot of money.

.

During this period, the salaries of Hong Kong artists rose rapidly. This is also related to the market. Many Hong Kong movies were distributed through DreamWorks, and the film companies made a lot of money. Under such circumstances, it is normal for artists to want to increase their salaries.

of.

After all, many artists are well-known throughout Asia or elsewhere, and this movie has brought a lot of attention.

There are also some bad movies that are driving up the pay. Under normal circumstances, they can't hire big stars. What should we do in this case?

I have no choice but to wave the big stick of money to invite people!

What’s more, the companies established by those young men have relatively weak foundations. Their artists are not as experienced as those of established film companies, and they spend a lot of money to hire stars to star in their own films.

In this situation, the actors' salaries are getting higher year by year. This is also the case at present. Hong Kong movies are still on the rise, which is when capital is entering the market in large quantities. When it stabilizes, the salaries of these stars

The remuneration will be in a relative position.

Zhao Hong is not surprised by the results of "The Lion King". This animated film is popular all over the world, but it is not popular in the United States. This country is very repulsive to foreign language films. It has a box office of more than 300 million US dollars.

It's pretty good.

As for other places, it is almost the same as the original version. In Asia, it is even better. In Japan alone, it has a total box office of almost 200 million US dollars. This is currently the highest for a Chinese-language film in Japan, and it will be the same in the future.

Not easy to break.

It can be said that the success of DreamWorks Animation Film Company has suddenly provided a relatively stable way to make money for Hong Kong's entertainment industry. Animated films have always been dispensable in Hong Kong, or there was simply no such film type.

It has been developed and cultivated by DreamWorks from scratch. To be honest, DreamWorks Film Company is quite competent as the big brother.

Zhao Hong feels that she also has the responsibility and obligation to do these things. The category of animated films can enrich the types of films in Hong Kong, and she must be more stable when resisting external competition.

To be honest, Zhao Hong is not sure whether Xiangjiang Film will go into decline, so it is necessary to make some arrangements in advance.

This animated film was also screened in the Mainland, and the response it aroused was amazing. This also taught some audiences in the Mainland who despise animated films a lesson.

During this period, since Magic City Art Factory cooperated with DreamWorks, they also released many high-quality animated films, but the response in the mainland was not very good. Fortunately, the external box office was really good.

It can be said that the animated films produced by Modu Art Factory are among the best in Asia. In Hong Kong, except for DreamWorks, all others are scum in front of them!

They have now gone their own way, that is, they no longer make money solely by helping DreamWorks Animation produce animated films. Animated films are also an important part of their income.

Zhao Hong was also very happy to see that the Magic City Art Factory could break out of the state-owned barrier.

At present, he has a great love for it, and hopes that the entertainment industry in the mainland will also develop rapidly, which will also be of great benefit to DreamWorks.

The DreamWorks theater chain is so big, it needs a steady stream of content to fill it, and the movies produced in Xiangjiang alone are not enough.

In fact, in May, DreamWorks Animation Film Company continued its efforts and released "Kung Fu Panda 2". This movie also set off a panda craze around the world.

At present, the big IP "Kung Fu Panda" is already famous all over the world. The panda theme park in DreamWorks Amusement Park is one of the most popular entertainment venues.

Many foreign nuts come here because of its reputation, which has brought great benefits to Xiangjiang's economy. Of course, DreamWorks still enjoys the greatest benefits. Every day, the amusement park is basically full.

Zhao Hong calculated that this amusement park alone could earn about 30 million Hong Kong dollars every day, which would be over 10 billion Hong Kong dollars a year. This amount is after the operating expenses!

It's so terrifying!

It only takes two or three years for DreamWorks to get back the money it invested, which was something that was unimaginable before. In Asia, Tokyo Disney competes with it.

However, Disney's competitiveness is obviously not as competitive as DreamWorks' entertainment park in Xiangjiang. The main reason is that the cultural differences are a bit big. Although Tokyo Disney also has many Asian customs, it cannot keep up with DreamWorks Park. This is its home ground.

"Kung Fu Panda" has been released for more than a month, and the total global box office has exceeded 500 million U.S. dollars. This is very good. It is one of the best among animated movies. After all, not every movie is like "The Lion King"

Such a perversion.

It's just a pity that "The Lion King" cannot have a sequel. The main reason is that the story has been told. If the protagonist is changed, the audience will obviously not buy it. Also, the core of the story is the same, so changing the soup does not change the medicine.

, releasing a sequel is suspected of being a waste of time.

Zhao Hong doesn't want to destroy this perfect IP. He plans to launch cartoons to continue to support this IP, and maybe shoot a nostalgic movie in a few years or ten years, which is also very profitable.

In addition, the construction of the "Lion King" theme park has begun at DreamWorks Park. Currently, DreamWorks Park only occupies about 100 hectares. In the future, every famous IP will be turned into a theme park.

These all require land. Fortunately, Zhao Hong has prepared 500 hectares of land for this paradise. It will take at least ten or twenty years to fully develop it, so I don't have to worry about it.

In the past few years, DreamWorks' life has been much better than last year. The funds have always been very abundant, and there is no longer the tight dilemma of last year.

Some time ago, I went to the mainland. The main purpose was to sign the following contract with the relevant shipyards in the mainland. DreamWorks Shipping Company wants to customize fifty large transport ships. The order received from the mainland alone is thirty ships, and Japan has

There are orders for ten ships, and the rest are all distributed to shipyards in other countries.

The pace of shipping companies is accelerating this year. In fact, the thirty-five ships of DreamWorks Shipping Company cannot meet the transportation needs of its own company. You must know that since DreamWorks does not have toy processing plants in Europe and the United States, many toys must be shipped to the mainland or elsewhere.

Xiangjiang is shipped all over the world.

The volume of goods is not generally large.

Under this situation, many shipping companies in Hong Kong also took a share of the pie, relying on the orders provided by DreamWorks. For example, after Tung Shipping Company bought 20 ships to DreamWorks, they

We also boarded the big ship of DreamWorks, and many of DreamWorks’ toys were transported by them.

The main reason why they were able to receive such a large order was that the chartering king had completely come ashore, and all the orders originally given to them were given to other three major shipping king families: Xu, Cao, and Zhao.

Among them, Zhao Chuanwang's family has some relationship with Zhao Hong's family. This is mainly because when the old man and others first came to Xiangjiang, the Zhao family established a family association, and the main purpose was to stay together for warmth.

In this way, the two families gradually came into contact. In fact, although the two families were both named Zhao, they couldn't get along with each other. The old man was from the old capital.

The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Congyan, was born in Jiangsu, and the two families were not related at all.

It's just that after arriving in Xiangjiang, the Chinese all like to stick together, and they can't write two characters "zhao" in one sentence. Since the two businesses are somewhat complementary, the relationship between the two families has become better and better.

Zhao Hong often visits during the holidays. In the past few years, their shipping business was affected by the global environment. Meisheng Bank loaned them a large sum of money to tide them over.
