Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

Movies are becoming more and more difficult to shoot now. Actors' salaries keep rising, and those gangsters only recognize big casts. If they don't have big casts, they just fucking don't buy movies... all the money is used to hire big actors. The cast is gone, the funds are insufficient, so we can only make do with it, the quality of the film is naturally getting worse, and they in turn complain about our poor filming, you say it is annoying or not!

Is there any way? Those Taiwanese people rely on celebrities to attract audiences. Of course, they ask for casts. Speaking of which, we still can't do it ourselves. When does Mr. Xu need actors to attract audiences when he makes a movie? Mr. Xu just makes a bunch of people. Acting and making movies, the threshold of theaters and cinemas can also be smashed.

Even if those gangsters join together and go bankrupt, they can't afford to hire Mr. Xu. Besides, Mr. Xu is very powerful, but if there are those gangsters as the owner, he can't make a good movie. In order to make quick money, the production cycle was all kept within two months. I beat his mother and gave him two months for preparation and post-production. What kind of wonderful and good movies can I make? Park took two years from planning to last year!

Currently, at least half of the investment in Hong Kong's films comes from Taiwan. If this continues, it will definitely not work. Once there is a problem with the economy or the box office market in Taiwan, our Hong Kong movies will suffer a lot.

What can I do? Don't you make money when you have money delivered to your door?

I think it's almost time to earn the money. I heard that there are only a few or a dozen small and medium-sized courtyard merchants in Taiwan Bend. They have united and established a Small and Medium-sized Courtyard Merchants Alliance to deal with us. .”

I've also heard about it. It seems that they bought a lot of shoddy movies at a high price and went back to show them. They lost money in the end. They got together in a fit of anger and planned to form a group to suppress our prices.

Not only did they lower our prices, they also bought a few films from the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and South Korea at low prices... They are looking for a new way out, and if they find it, they will completely abandon us. side.

I think they are just messing about. The local films in those countries have been learning from our films and Hollywood films. They are slow to learn, and they are still rigid. How could they let our films Satisfied with the Taiwanese audience who have grown up with Hollywood movies? Don't worry, they will have to find us soon.

I know that local films from those countries can't steal our jobs, and I also know that the alliance of small and medium-sized theater businessmen can't be successful. If it is to suppress our prices, then our good times will come to an end, and we may lose the Taiwanese movie market.

No way……

I hope not, but don't forget, we are not without rivals, Hollywood movies have been robbing us for territory.

This...isn't the opponent of Hollywood movies DreamWorks movies...

DreamWorks has been following the high-quality line. It is more willing to spend money on production costs and special effects than Hollywood movies. There is also a fixed super-large theater line in Taiwan. How can Hollywood movies shake the status of DreamWorks movies? Here Under such circumstances, if Hollywood films still want to enter the Taiwanese film market, the best way is to kick us out, replace us, and then slowly fight against DreamWorks Films.”

Have you heard about the review criteria for these ten imported films?

Doesn't it mean that as long as it is a Hong Kong film that can pass the review of the relevant departments in the Mainland, it will have the opportunity to be released in the Mainland?

In principle, as long as it is a Hong Kong film that can pass the review of the relevant departments in the Mainland, it has the opportunity to be released in the Mainland, but there are still some considerations for review.

What do you pay attention to?

First of all, if the political stance is not correct, it is designated that there is no chance to go to the mainland for screening. To put it bluntly, it means don't touch on political issues. I don't say this, and you understand that because of the left and right stances, Taiwan has banned a lot of screenings. It’s the same for Hong Kong films, and it’s the same for mainland China.”

This is normal. Even if the mainland opens up again, it is impossible to tolerate this kind of thing.

Those that promote pornography and pornography, those that exaggerate crimes such as murder, brutality, drug use, gambling, prostitution, prostitution, etc., those that promote juvenile delinquency, none of these have the opportunity to be screened in the mainland.

How to explain these few articles?

It goes without saying that there is a sexual scene that is not closely related to the storyline. After editing and editing, there is still a chance. Don't even think about the pure color scene. In addition, the protagonist cannot be a bad person, like a robber, a thief, a murderer, etc. Criminals, liars, young and Dangerous, etc., there is no need to think about going to the mainland to screen.

Damn it! Then why are you playing? There are no violent and passionate scenes. Who will watch it? According to what you said, the few films of our company may not have the chance to be released in the mainland.

It didn't work in the past, but it doesn't mean it won't work in the future. If you make some movies with positive themes, like Police Story, you can go to the mainland to collect money.

Isn't there also collusion between police and gangsters in Police Story?

Yes, but it advocates justice as a whole, so it will definitely pass the censorship of the mainland.

There must be no feudal superstition, that is to say, ghost films and zombie films must not pass the review.

It's a trivial matter. It was banned in Taiwan back then. Which movie theater in Taiwan is not a zombie now. Give the mainland a few years, and it will gradually adapt.

Before the meeting officially started, a group of filmmakers gathered together to chat.

Although there are many groups, the topics they talked about were surprisingly consistent—the filmmakers were either talking about the overall decline in the quality of Hong Kong movies due to the rising salary of stars year by year, or talking about the censorship standards for imported Hong Kong movies in the Mainland .

It is not difficult to see from this that these two events are the biggest events in the Xiangjiang film industry at present.

It wasn't until Li Xiaoping, the vice president of the Xiangjiang Film Association, and others appeared that the voices of the filmmakers stagnated a little!

but--

After a while, they chatted on their own, and almost no one came forward to greet Li Xiaoping and the others—obviously, no one cared about Li Xiaoping and his group.

Regarding this, Li Xiaoping smiled lightly, as if she didn't care at all.

After another while, exactly one minute before leaving the meeting, someone suddenly shouted: Mr. Xu is here!

As soon as this voice came out, the conference room that was still in chaos just now became completely silent!

Immediately, the people present, counting one by one, including the arrogant brothers Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng, all stood up to greet Xu Cun, and the most ardent among them was Li Xiaoping!
