Chapter 579: I'm really here to get to the bottom

Chen Kexin, 33 years old, is currently an excellent director, and will only be promoted to first-class next year.

When he was young, he was festive, short, round, and unaggressive. In fact, he has a flexible temperament, is very sensitive to the direction of the wind, and is a shrewd businessman.

He hadn't heard of the other party, and he was inexplicable about this invitation, but Yindu was pulling the thread, and I was afraid that the background was not shallow.

"A Tale of Two Cities" and "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", never get tired of watching it. ”

"Won the award, Mr. Xu is also a filmmaker?"

"Yes, I have done a few in the mainland. Does Director Chen have any new films recently?"

"There's a film that's being worked on, and it's going to be released early next year. ”

After chatting a few words without nutrition, Xu Fei said: "Many people use literary films and commercial films to distinguish between films, which is true, but most directors still want to have both.

There are not many things that can be done, and I think Director Chen is one of them. I have a script in my hand, I wonder if you are interested?"

He pushed the notebook, Chen Kexin looked at the outline in front of him, and said with a strange expression: "This is, this is a mainland movie?"

"No, I want to make a co-production, 97 releases. ”

“......”

Chen Kexin understood, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he still had to be polite, "I want to take a look first." ”

"Yes, hopefully there will be good news. ”

After sitting briefly for a while, the other party took his leave.

"Boss, get new tea!"

The waiter came over and took away the teapot, made a new pot, and replaced it with a new cup. Xu Fei poured it for himself, took a small sip, and after about ten minutes, the door opened again.

It is also good, evil and funny, crazy and chivalrous. Behind an ordinary face, there seem to be countless characters and wonderful.

As soon as this person came in, it caused quite a commotion, and diners went over to sign autographs and take pictures. He apologized to this side, and came over after his busy work.

"Mr. Liang, please take a seat. ”

Xu Fei poured tea, and the other party really picked it up and took a sip, and then snapped it, revealing his domineering appearance:

"Who's for and who's against?"

Ahh

This person is Liang Jiahui, and this year's "The Secret Life of Cixi" was released - hey, look at how good this book is, push the film casually.

He was as inexplicable as Chen Kexin, chatted a few words, and Xu Fei also handed over a script.

In 97, a large number of tribute films were born, and he acted in a "Rushing to the Nine Heavens", a scientific research worker who struggled for the motherland's aerospace industry, without any sense of disobedience.

This will talk and understand the purpose of the meeting, but I am a little worried.

"Mr. Xu, I haven't tried this kind of work, and the style may not be quite suitable. ”

"Don't worry, we take the commercial route and try to reconcile. ”

"Who are the other actors?"

"At present, only Ge You is set, and I am also ready to invite Gong Li, Zhang Manyu, and Jiang Wen. ”

Xu Fei was a lot more honest with him, and when Liang Jiahui heard about this lineup, he was generous, and the top ones in the mainland were all there.

After thinking about it for a moment, I also said to look at the script.

"Boss, new tea. ”

“......”

The store is already whispering, who is this beautiful boy?

Tea for three pots, and the third guest arrived.

"Xu Sheng, wow, I'll finally see the big guy!"

"What the hell are you talking about?

"Cantonese, they all believe it. ”

The person who came was ordinary, his appearance was unusual, and he suddenly became serious after saying a few words, "Mr. Xu, what are your instructions?"

This person's surname is Song, an employee in the world, and he followed Xu Fei early. Lextar opened a film and television company in Hong Kong, operated it, and let him go over to be the boss.

Flexible, loyal, and gifted in language.

"Chen Kexin. ”

Xu Fei mentioned a name.

"In 1991, Zeng Zhiwei and Zhong Zhen invested, Chen Kexin participated in the shares with director fees, and the three of them founded the 'Filmmaker Production Company', the English abbreviation is UFO.

The movie currently being made is called "Grandma Fanfan", the investment is not small, and the literary film, I estimate that the box office will flutter. ”

"What happens if you pounce?"

"UFOs are so small that a movie can fail miserably. Chen Kexin's "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" was a big hit last year, and Golden Harvest always wanted him to make a sequel, but he didn't agree.

If "Grandma Fanfan" hits the street, it is likely to make up for this.

In addition, he has a script called "Sweet Honey" in his hand, and he has been looking for investment. ”

"Oh, yes, it's not in vain. ”

"It's all taught by Mr. Xu well!"

"Do you know what I've sent you for?"

"I haven't forgotten that we must strengthen the spiritual civilization construction of Hong Kong filmmakers!"

"That's the long-term goal, and the short-term is the bottom. But to start the company's name first, start with "Sweet Honey". ”

Xu Fei paused and told one by one:

Zeng Zhiwei has a good relationship with Golden Harvest, and this film will fall on Golden Harvest in the end. You contact Chen Kexin in advance, you don't need to invest all, just participate. ”

"Do you know about "Crazy Boy"?"

"Yes!"

"Find a way to get involved, and you don't have to invest it all. If nothing else, the company will be famous next year, and I will hand over the co-production to you and cooperate with the world. ”

“......”

Manager Song didn't quite understand and asked, "Mr. Xu, why do you have to work so hard?"

"Hong Kong films have been glorious for almost 20 years, and now foreign films are coming in, 97 is returning, the market is saturated, and the audience is aesthetically fatigued, and it is time to come to an end. I expect the film market to decline significantly in a few years.

After the return to the motherland, the mainland will inevitably strengthen cooperation with Hong Kong, and a large number of filmmakers will definitely go north.

Hong Kong film technology is good, but the shortcomings are also serious. Instead of letting them muddy the waters, let's contract the fish ponds first. From now on, you can contact me at any time to report the news of the film market.

I'll give you some more scripts, make them into a movie, and ask Yindu to help you with the distribution. ”

"Understood!"

"Recruit more technical talents, collect a group of obedient ones, naturalize a group of neutral ones, and recruit a group of disobedient ones, and keep them to make an example. ”

"Understood!"

"The decline of the Hong Kong film market is left to us to take the lead. When filmmakers go north, we will be a model. You have another number in your mind, which people are good and which ones are bad. ”

"Finally strengthen the construction of spiritual civilization!" Manager Song continued.

"Hehe, can you do it?"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Manager Song's blood was boiling.

"Tea, tea. ”

Xu Fei poured another glass.

Seeing off the other party, he settled the bill and walked to the side of the street leisurely, it was really busy and prosperous. The October sun is still dazzling, and the warmth is much warmer than in the north.

This year, he seems to be leisurely, but in fact, he has done a lot of things, and Manager Song is one of them. I really thought that he came to Hong Kong for "Tai Chi Grandmaster", but it was not qualified.

After 97, Hong Kong filmmakers have gone north one after another.

Like Taiwanese film and television people, they have brought developed entertainment experience, but they take care of all kinds of pit people with the help of policies.

Because of the rapid development of the mainland, a large amount of capital has entered the circle, impetuous and false, Chiguoguo wrote: "People are stupid, there is a lot of money, welcome to the pit!"

For example, in 2004, co-productions stipulated that the proportion of mainland actors should not be less than one-third of the total number of main actors in the film.

Hong Kong male stars are more appealing, and the male protagonists are usually Hong Kongers. According to the regulations, the heroine must be a mainlander. As a result, for many years in a row, the actresses of the Academy Awards are all mainland actresses.

So he started to make trouble, and Wu Siyuan said:

"Now that Hong Kong actors are dying, why?

If you use Hong Kong actors, you must use mainland actresses, so if you can use big names, of course, you can use big names. Young people don't have a chance, and women don't have a chance, and now there are no female stars in Hong Kong, and male stars are also old, and there is no successor. ”

Wang Zulan also said: "If you want to fight for more Hong Kong people, they say no, the quota is full." Because of this policy, it sometimes affects the job opportunities of Hong Kong entertainers. ”

???

You guys don't take it, it's our business?

took the top actors from the mainland with their second-rate actors, and used a large amount of money from the mainland to support the production team in Hong Kong, and in the end, they are still forced here.

Cha Fan has no attitude, and he has to be educated.

......

Of course, in 2019, the government issued new rules: there is no longer a limit on the number of Hong Kong people participating in mainland film production.

(And ...... )
