No matter where you are, the cost of making a film is extremely high, so any way to increase your income is worth trying, and any possible market for selling films must not be lost.

For the vast majority of Hong Kong film companies, the Taiwan market is the biggest dependence on whether they can survive.

This is also the reason why Liang Jiahui was still rejected by all Hong Kong film companies because he won the Academy Award even after filming in the mainland and listening to politics.

Because Taiwan banned him, the films he acted in could not enter the Taiwan market.

Without the Taiwan market, there are too few movies that can still make money by relying on the Hong Kong market alone.

Therefore, even companies like Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and Xinyicheng that have opened up the Southeast Asian market do not dare to use him.

Don't dare to bet,

Besides, it's not going to be hard to get along with money, is it?

In the early eighties, this was the case, and in the past two years, with the increasing cost of production, especially the rising salaries of actors, the pressure to make a movie has become even greater, and therefore the dependence on the Taiwan market is even greater.

And it is precisely because of this huge dependence that Hong Kong films in the original time and space will quickly decline after losing the Taiwan market.

It can be said that the collapse of the Taiwanese market has led to the decline of Hong Kong films.

Since the annual box office champion of Hong Kong films has risen almost every year in the early years, all kinds of foreign capital have flocked to the Hong Kong film market to grab food.

One of the largest groups of outsiders is Taiwan's capital.

They all see Hong Kong movies making money, so all kinds of capital with black backgrounds in Taiwan are frantically pouring into the Hong Kong film market.

This is also the confidence of Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong, who fell out with Lei Juekun because of the establishment of Longteng Cinema Line, and they had the courage to challenge Longteng Cinema Line to form another Xinbao Cinema Line.

Because they don't have to worry about the fact that the film they make will not have a place to sell.

If nothing else, there is no problem in the Taiwanese market in the first place.

It's just that the indiscriminate entry of capital has led to the emergence of a large number of film practitioners of mixed quality, especially in the case of Longteng Cinema Line and Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, Xinyicheng, etc., which have mastered the vast majority of film personnel and resources, the movies shot by Xinbao Cinema Line and those small companies controlled by the capital behind it are worse than the other.

During that time, the films released by Xinbao Cinema were really bad.

Then the result is obvious, Xinbao Cinema Line has long become part of Longteng Cinema Line,

But the failure of Xinbao Cinema Line cannot extinguish the desire of Taiwanese capital for the huge benefits of Hong Kong films.

Because of the boycott of several major local film companies and cinemas, I can't fund a film in Hong Kong, right?

You're great, we really can't mess with your snakes.

But we have the money.

If you have money, don't worry about us not making money.

It doesn't matter if we can't invest in movies, we can invest in theaters.

We can't invest in Hong Kong, we can invest in Taiwan.

For this reason, Taiwan has five major cinema lines this year.

These capitals spend a lot of money to import movies from Hong Kong and release them in their own theaters.

It's nothing to say that investing in cinemas.

There are many more exaggerated things.

For example, these people can directly buy the Taiwanese distribution rights of a verbal film with an undecided script, undecided actors, and undecided nothing because of an idea from a big director.

Wang Jing has encountered many such situations, and he once sold the Taiwanese distribution rights of a movie in ten words.

What are the ten words, "action movie Liu Dehua and Liang Jiahui."

It is said that Hong Kong movies have gone crazy over the years.

It's true that's right, Hong Kong movies are crazy.

But the driving force behind the madness of Hong Kong movies is definitely indispensable to Taiwanese capital, which has long been crazy.

And the madness of the Taiwan market has caused the Hong Kong film market to eat too fat.

Just the money from selling Taiwanese filmmakers is enough to pay back, or almost return to capital.

Then the rest of the local box office and other foreign revenue are net earnings.

Is this situation good, of course it is good, there is such a market where you can make a lot of money, and you don't want a fool.

Therefore, under the frantic input of the Taiwan market, even the most far-sighted film companies in Hong Kong, such as Golden Harvest, can't help but start a large number of dramas and start dramas indiscriminately.

And even if Jiahe doesn't mess around, your Jiahe keeps improving, but you can't control the satellite companies under you to make money.

You make your own money and let people eat meat, in this market environment, it is absolutely not enough to just let people drink soup with them.

Therefore, Jiahe is inevitably like this, not to mention the Yongsheng of the Xiang brothers and those in the new art city who have long been scattered and have their own policies.

At this time, the entire Hong Kong filmmakers were crazy, and the film company was crazy regardless of its financial situation and ability to return to its original capital, and it was crazy to borrow money to start the show.

And the actors, the staff, all rolled a few plays by themselves.

However, these people did not realize the great crisis hidden under the over-prosperity.

That is the Taiwanese market.

Hong Kong films can now be said to be in demand for the Taiwan market, you say how much to sell, Taiwan's capital often agrees to the bid without consideration.

Because no matter how much money you spend, you can make money.

Moreover, even if there are some losses, they are just small productions, and they are insignificant.

In the production of big productions and big casts, you can make money.

But what if you don't make money.

What if, instead of making money, you lose a lot.

Could it be that at that time, Taiwan's capital could still be as demanding as it is now, and could the Taiwan market still be as open to Hong Kong films as it is now?

Nobody thought about it, didn't think about it at all.

But this is the main reason for the decline of Hong Kong films.

Because one day, Taiwanese film companies, Taiwanese capital, lost their hands and spent a lot of money to buy back the movies that they thought were making a steady profit, and they made a lot of money, but they lost money.

What kind of movie is this, which can become the fuse for the decline of Hong Kong films?

Any.

The movie is called Jigong.

Xing Ye, Zhou Xingchi's Jigong.

Ultra-luxury lineup,

The director is Johnny To, starring the golden combination of Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda, and the actresses also have Maggie Cheung and Anita Mui.

As a result, this movie made filmmakers everywhere pay blood.

Then the bubble was punctured.

Taiwanese filmmaker Wang Yingxiang spent 30 million to buy Jigong, but the loss was miserable, vomiting blood.

Then the painful lesson made Taiwan's film companies wake up one after another, and this special emotional investment in Hong Kong films is also such a big risk.

This Nima can't do it, you can't take the risk and resist it all.

As a result, a group of film companies united to negotiate with all the film companies in Hong Kong, saying that they would set a ceiling, that is, how much money a film could sell at most.

And then what.

Hong Kong film companies naturally disagree.

You who rely on us to make money, you dare to negotiate terms with us, you are tired of living.

Think beautifully, Lao Tzu ignores you.

Let's see what you can do with Lao Tzu.

Well, the Hong Kong film company is hard.

It's just the back, hehe.
