Chapter 909: It's not about making money

Next.

The fat man came down for breakfast.

Huang Baiming beckoned to sit at a table and asked, "How did you sleep?"

"It's okay, the environment is OK. ”

"Of course, we have received Bush and Kissinger here. Thatcher was also a balabala ......"

"Uh-huh. ”

Wang Fatzi nodded, only cared about eating, and only asked after eating: "How many people are here today?"

"Bosses, directors, more than 40. ”

"No artists?"

"Gigi Leung, one of the top ten outstanding young people in Hong Kong. ”

Wang Fatzi continued to nod and continue to eat.

This kind of occasion is the occasion of the big guy, so someone asked: Why do you have so many celebrities?

Make a head, make a strong voice, and shout 666 behind the big guy!

After breakfast, at about 9 o'clock, we gathered in a conference hall in the VIP building.

There is a row of tables in front and N tables at the bottom, in addition to a few speakers, there are also Er Dongsheng, Wen Jun, Lao Du, Wei Jiahui and others.

The artist representative Gigi Leung, with her iconic short hair, is tall and charming, and is at her peak.

She is also the head of a generation of jade girls, and the "Shuangqi face-grabbing" incident broke out that year, and she competed with Shao Meiqi for Ekin Cheng. There is also gossip with Boss Yang.

That's right, it's Boss Yang again, the "cake incident".

After waiting for a while, the leaders of several departments entered. After all, it is a showbiz, or mainly radio and television, and Leader Zhao gave a warm welcome speech.

One by one, they sat upright, dressed in suits and leather shoes, and then began to speak.

Ma Fengguo, head of the delegation visiting Beijing, was the first: "We are very grateful to the relevant parties for showing such a high profile and high-standard reception to Hong Kong films.

I have been talking about how to further open up before, but they have stayed at the policy level and have not been involved by professionals, but this time I finally have the opportunity to implement it, hoping to make a breakthrough in the details. ”

He doesn't talk much, and obviously leaves time to others.

The second dragon fifth brother.

"This is the largest dialogue in history, and I hope to receive good results.

In the past, we were able to express our opinions separately, but this time we were able to have a discussion with the manager, which gave us the opportunity to express our opinions in a centralized manner. ”

The delegates all spoke stiff Mandarin, which sounded very uncomfortable, and as I knew it, the speed of speech was relatively slow.

The wording is also quite distinctive, not "leader", but "manager".

"From January 1 next year, Hong Kong films will be able to enter the mainland without any restrictions, which is a very good thing.

We respect the management practices of film and television production in the Mainland, and we have extensive experience in film distribution.

So I'd like to make a suggestion:

It is hoped that the distribution qualification can be opened to Hong Kong companies, so that Hong Kong production companies can participate in the distribution of their own films.

On the one hand, it can provide more experience to mainland counterparts, and on the other hand, investors are more confident in the cost recovery. ”

Get straight to the point and hit the nail on the head.

I want the right to publish!

In fact, in later generations, the country has not developed the opportunity to exercise power, whether it is for Hong Kong, Taiwan or Hollywood. Once the distribution is opened, it means that it will hand over its position to others and lure the wolf into the room.

The battle of yishi forms is a big matter!

Fifth Brother Long talked a lot, but the leader on the stage did not express his position, but invited the next one.

The next one is Lao Song.

"First of all, I agree with Mr. Xiang's proposal on distribution rights, such as "Infernal Affairs", which has a different release time in the two places, which creates opportunities for piracy, and I am deeply saddened that it has not been introduced so far.

Let me be more specific, is it possible to allow a joint venture? That is, Hong Kong and the mainland jointly set up a issuing company?

At the same time, I also hope that Hong Kong films can enjoy the same treatment as mainland films as soon as possible.

I'll tell you the truth, there are so few accounts to be shared, we don't have to make any money. The mainland censorship is strict, and if Hong Kong films want to enter, they must be deleted and modified many times.

Over time, I don't think it can bring prosperity to Hong Kong films, but it will decline even more. ”

This is what Teacher Xu taught, after all, Lao Song's position is on that side.

Sure enough, the rest of the people cast admiring glances at him, worthy of the savior!

followed Zou Wenhuai to talk about the theater, and Huang Baiming talked about taxes.

"After Hong Kong films are introduced to the mainland, the relevant taxes reach almost one-third of the total distribution recovery cost, and the investor is almost unprofitable.

Can Hong Kong films be exempted from taxes?"

The leader on the stage immediately responded:

"We attach great importance to your suggestion and will report it to the national tax department as soon as possible, hoping that it will be considered. ”

The consequence of consideration, of course, is not considered.

Finally, Wang Fatty.

As a representative of the director, he said: "What I am most concerned about is censorship. We hope to implement the film classification system as soon as possible, which will be conducive to the investment ...... of producers and investors."

β€œ......”

Leader Zhao listened very carefully and kept recording in his hands.

Roughly divided into a few points:

The most important thing for the Hong Kong side is undoubtedly the issuance.

Secondly, Hong Kong films are also required to receive the same treatment as mainland films.

Then there are the issues of cinemas, taxes, etc.

Finally, there is the grading system.

She looked at these and frowned slightly, she really knows how to grasp the key points! If they do this, it is equivalent to transplanting the Hong Kong film system to the mainland and seamlessly connecting with the big market of 1.3 billion people!

It is not in line with the original intention of the country, the country hopes to develop co-productions, but these people do not mention co-productions.

And there is a meaning in the words: You have to help, why don't you help???

Soon, it's noon.

Several leaders studied for a while, and Zhao replied in a unified manner: "We have written down everyone's opinions, and studied and discussed them as soon as possible, so as to promote a result that satisfies both parties and benefits both sides."

Here, I'll start with a brief answer to the question of the grading system.

We have also been discussing this grading system and have collected a lot of information. We also hope that there will be a film classification system adapted to China's national conditions and that it can be implemented in China.

Summarizing everyone's views, I found that we have common goals on some issues, but I also hope that you will understand that a policy decision does not happen overnight and requires sufficient research and analysis......"

Leader Zhao didn't lie, the grading system was mentioned in the 80s, and it was always noisy, and the quarrel was unsuccessful until 2020.

There can't be a grading system in the mainland!

......

The next day, the discussion continued.

In addition to these problems, Xu Xiaoming, a representative of the TV drama industry, the director of "Huo Yuanjia" and "Chen Zhen", proposed that the policy on co-production dramas be relaxed.

The leader said: We will investigate as soon as possible, and next year we will introduce measures with reference to the film management measures.

Huh!

These people have a good character, and those who give a specific time limit should be true.

What is not given should be clichΓ©s.

The next night, several bigwigs bumped into each other again, and the atmosphere was heavy.

"The right to distribute is definitely not working, you look at them, they don't even have a positive reply. ”

"Hong Kong capital is also foreign capital, and the mainland will not have the right to open up its issuance rights when it joins the WTO and the United States for negotiations. ”

"Forget it, is there any hope for the tax bill?"

"The tax administrator didn't come, so he excused himself. ”

"There is no need to ask about the treatment of Hong Kong films, what they value is co-production. ”

"Wow, what's left?"

"I'll mention the grading system tomorrow, at least it's easy to review. ”

This is called retreating and retreating.

Lao Song began to knife people and said: "I don't like what I say, this time I came, it is very likely that I will get nothing." The mainland focuses on the development of co-production films, and if we want to renew the life of Hong Kong films, it is best to follow the policy.

Co-productions are also okay, more than 40% of the account is shared, just to give some distribution fees. We have stars, we have directors, and that's an advantage.

The mainland doesn't like us coming in, so it's better not to come in, as long as there is money to be made, everyone is happy. ”

β€œ......”

All the bigwigs have their own thoughts, but they have one thing in common, make money!

Including those directors and actors, how many of them are so noble that they are really here to save Hong Kong films?
