Chapter 939: Contradictions, Conflicts

"What is Mr. Qiao's opinion?"

Although Shao Yifu's expression of raising his eyebrows and smiling was hidden, Qiao Feng still saw it, but he didn't care, no matter what Shao Yifu's smile meant, he didn't care.

"I can't talk about Gao Jian, it's just that I have been to the mainland more often, and I have co-produced several movies in the mainland, so I will know more about the people in the mainland." Qiao Feng waved his hand and smiled.

"For our mainland counterparts, when we cooperate with them, they naturally can't ask for it, but different ways of cooperation will cause them to have completely different attitudes towards us."

"What's the difference?" Shao Yifu looked at Qiao Feng lightly, wanting to hear what he could say.

"To put it simply, we only cooperate in name, and we just let them help, not deeply involved in the shooting, even if we give them enough monetary compensation, it is just a simple business for them.

But if you cooperate deeply, it will be a political achievement for them, especially the management of the TV station, which will affect many people to be valued by their superiors and then promoted.

Simple cooperation, the help given by the other party, such as help in life, accommodation, food, that is the average level.

But if you cooperate in depth, any aspect will provide their best, and many times we don't need to mention it, the head of the local TV station, or even the head of the local government, will arrange someone to do it.

It can be said that in-depth cooperation seems to be a little more troublesome than simple cooperation, and may even cause some friction due to differences in the working methods and concepts between the two places.

But in the long run, in-depth cooperation is more beneficial to us, because the environment of food, clothing, housing and transportation is good, our artists and staff will be more motivated when filming, and if we encounter some external problems, the local authorities will come forward to deal with them, which is much faster than finding someone and dealing with it ourselves."

After all, we are the dragon crossing the river, and people are the head snakes of the land, and the dragon crossing the river is not as good as the head snakes of other people."

Shao Yifu nodded from time to time as he listened.

He felt that what Qiao Feng said was very right, especially the last sentence, although the words were a little rough but very reasonable.

It is said that it is not a raptor but a river, but in fact, there are a few raptors who have crossed the river without the help of the ground snake.

Haven't you seen that almost all the movies filmed in the mainland have cooperation with the mainland?

And this kind of cooperation has become more and more in-depth from the face-to-face cooperation in the early years.

Because in film, Hong Kong and the mainland cooperate more than on television.

Therefore, there is more cooperation, and Hong Kong has gradually begun to understand, knowing that in the mainland, where the system is different, without the help of the system, it is very difficult to make a film, and even if the filming is completed in the end, the cost will be several times higher than the cost of in-depth cooperation with the mainland, and the time cost is the same.

There are not many TV series filmed by Wireless in the mainland, and Wireless has always been picky, and the desire to control is also very strong, so when filming in the mainland, it has always spent some money to ask the mainland TV station to help find some group performances, get some props and the like, which is considered cooperation.

Now listening to Qiao Feng's explanation, Shao Yifu realized that his feelings had gone the wrong way before.

Not only did the money be spent, but it also failed to maximize the benefits.

To cooperate as Qiao Feng said, it seems that at most it is to pay some positions that are not the main ones, and pay a few less important roles, and you can solve any troubles you encounter.

The cost of time and labor and materials under this termination can be far more cost-effective than simply spending money to get people to help.

"Mr. Qiao, the cooperation model you said is indeed better, but you must know that although the blockade of cultural film and television in Taiwan has been lifted, it is not absolute, we don't know when it may be repeated over there, if we cooperate with our mainland counterparts in depth, in case Taiwan wants to block it again as before, then our losses will be huge.“ Although he has realized that Qiao Feng said that the cooperation is better, Shao Yifu has his own worries.

TV series and movies are different.

Hong Kong films have a considerable market in Southeast Asia, and it can be said politely that Southeast Asia is currently the backyard of Hong Kong films.

Even if the cooperation between making movies and the mainland is threatened, losing the Taiwan market, and being banned by Zhengfu in Hong Kong, there are also Southeast Asian markets such as Malaysia and Singapore that can make money.

But if TV is blocked because of cooperation with the mainland, Taiwan and the mainland are not allowed to broadcast, then the money invested in filming TV dramas will be in vain.

"It's also easy, we can set up a company that specializes in TV dramas." Qiao Feng smiled.

Mom, I'm tired of uncle, but I can be regarded as coming back, Qiao Feng secretly complained.

While complaining, Qiao Feng was also very happy, because from the beginning of bringing the topic to the mainland for filming, he was paving the way for what he was going to say now.

After going around for a long time, the topic finally turned to what he really wanted to say, how could he not be happy.

"Set up a company that specializes in TV dramas..... Separation of production and broadcasting?" Shao Yifu's face changed abruptly, and his voice was two octaves higher.

Qiao Feng nodded but didn't speak, he knew that he was definitely poking Shao Yifu's sore spot, and he had to give Shao Yifu some time to digest it.

Shao Yifu is naturally unhappy in his heart, for him who has implemented the large-scale studio system since the establishment of the Shaw Brothers Film Company, and has also pursued the large-scale studio system in the TV station after the establishment of TVB, the separation of production and broadcasting is undoubtedly a reversal.

An important reason why Zou Wenhuai left Shaw Brothers and founded Golden Harvest was that there were huge differences between the big studio system and the independent producer system.

"Mr. Qiao, you should know that the separation of production and broadcasting is contrary to the system in our station." Shao Yifu looked at Qiao Feng with an unhappy face.

Qiao Feng nodded in understanding.

Of course, Qiao Feng also knew that Shao Yifu's words were not only about the system, but also about the inevitable cost of filming under the two systems.

The current big studio system, whether it is an artist or a staff, earns a dead salary, which is nothing more than a question of whether the salary is more or less.

But whether it is more or less, it is obviously much less than the money that an independent producer can make.

The salary of wireless artists is notoriously small, except for the artists who are popular, other artists below the second tier may not be able to afford a house after more than ten years of filming.

Of course, there are reasons why Hong Kong's housing prices are too high, but more often than not, because wages are too small.

Take Ren Dahua from the original time and space as an example, he has been filming wirelessly for 16 years, and he is also a star, but he has been renting a house for 16 years because he can't afford to buy a house.

Then in the seventeenth year of his debut, he came out of wireless and earned money to buy a house in just one year.

There are countless examples like this on TVB, even after twenty or thirty years, many old artists who have been acting for twenty or thirty years still only receive a salary of 5,000 Hong Kong dollars per month.

But indie productions are different.

This can be seen in Hong Kong movies.

Independent filmmaking is market-oriented.

If you have a market and can bring in an audience, then you will earn more, and you will earn more.

If you don't have a market, you will make little or no money.

"Mr. Qiao, you should know that I will never allow the current system to be changed." Seeing that Qiao Feng nodded but didn't speak, Shao Yifu felt that Qiao Feng was thinking about how to convince himself, so he simply stated his position directly.

Looking at Shao Yifu's serious and even somewhat stern expression, Qiao Feng smiled.

"Of course, I didn't want to change the current system in Taiwan. Even, I agree with your point of view, Mr. Shao, I have always felt that with the current situation of Hong Kong's television industry and the size of the market, TVB's insistence on the integrated production and broadcasting model is undoubtedly the wisest choice."

"But...."
