At half past seven in the evening, Li Guangyu came to the Peninsula Hotel, where today's Xiangjiang film industry bigwigs gathered, all of whom gave Run Run Shaw face.

When Li Guangyu came here, there were already many bigwigs in the film industry here, and Lei Juekun immediately greeted Li Guangyu and invited Li Guangyu to his side.

Li Guangyu walked over and asked, "Uncle Lei, is there something wrong with you?"

Lei Juekun said: "Guangyu, this time we not only have to discuss the matter of the Academy Awards, our Xiangjiang film can be dominant in Asia, but it does not have much influence in Europe and the United States, we are discussing whether we can think of an effective way to travel, so that our Xiangjiang film can go out of Asia and promote it to the world." ”

Li Guangyu didn't expect Lei Juekun to have such ambitions, but Li Guangyu was not very optimistic about this, once various countries introduced policies to restrict Xiangjiang films, it would be difficult for them to confront.

The reason why Hollywood in the United States is so strong is that in addition to the fact that the quality of their films is really good, the strength of the United States can make many countries not restrict the entry of their films.

Xiangjiang does not have so much power to force these countries to forcibly open the market and let Xiangjiang Film seize the interests of their own film companies.

"Uncle Lei, who else has such thoughts, do you have any plans?" asked Li Guangyu.

Lei Juekun knows that only when Li Guangyu enters such an idea can they have the hope of being able to promote Xiangjiang Films to the world, but they don't have that ability with the strength of themselves and others.

Lei Juekun said: "Guangyu, this time it's not just me, Wrinkle Huai, Xiang Huasheng, Wu Siyuan, Qiu Degen and Pan Disheng all have such thoughts. ”

Li Guangyu was not surprised by the previous few people, but Qiu Degen's ATV Film Company and Pan Disheng's Dickson Film and Television Company had only been established for half a year, and the company did not have any famous films, so they all wanted to promote Xiangjiang Films to Europe and the United States, why are these people so ambitious now.

Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Lei, I'm afraid this thing is very difficult, our side is not like several major Hollywood film companies, they are backed by the United States, many countries and regions will not restrict the entry of their films, we are different, once countries and regions introduce policies to protect domestic film and television companies and restrict the entry of our films, then our development will be quite difficult." ”

Lei Juekun and the few people present listened to Li Guangyu's words, and their hearts also sank. At that time, they all thought of the current hot market and the influence of Xiangjiang films in Asia, which made them feel that Xiangjiang was worthy of the name of Oriental Hollywood.

That's why these people thought that if they promoted Xiangjiang Films to the world, they would be able to obtain greater benefits.

And Li Guangyu's remarks shattered their previous illusions, and they had to think about what their film companies should do if protective policies were introduced in Southeast Asia, Japan, Treasure Island, South Korea and other places.

If only the Xiangjiang market can't support so many film companies in Xiangjiang, even film companies like New Arts City Golden Harvest will suffer huge losses. On the contrary, Jiayi Film Company has established branches in many places, and they will have more means of operation by then.

However, this made them even more determined to promote Xiangjiang Films to the world, only if Xiangjiang Films are famous enough, they will have fewer restrictions at that time, and they still have a lot of confidence in protecting the Asian market, and the source of confidence is Li Guangyu.

The Lee consortium continues to seize markets in Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia, and has considerable influence in these places. They believe that if the Lee consortium is willing to contribute, Heung Kong Films will not be easily limited by the market area they currently occupy in Asia.

It's just that Lei Juekun doesn't know if Li Guangyu is willing to come out like this, but they know that Li Guangyu has never cared much about the affairs of Jiayi Group, and this side is managed by Liu Tianci and other high-level officials, and Li Guangyu rarely asks.

Lei Juekun said: "Guangyu, I know that you have been laying out the cinema chain of Baodao and Japan, and now the Jiayi Cinema Line on the Treasure Island is the third largest cinema chain, and you are currently the fifth largest cinema chain in Japan, and you are still continuing to expand." And there are Shaw Brothers cinemas in Southeast Asia, and we in Xiangjiang still have advantages in these areas, and this is also the capital for us to negotiate with American film companies, I don't know if you are willing to take the lead. ”

Li Guangyu is not in the mood to meddle in the affairs of the film company now, this matter is quite difficult, and it is almost up to the Li Group to resist the pressure of the United States and Asian film companies alone, so that he will not do this thankless thing for the so-called rise of Xiangjiang Films.

Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Lei, I support your idea. Being able to promote Hong Kong Films to the world is good for our major film companies. It's just that our Lee Group has a lot of affairs now, and even Wei Qing is pregnant and is still running around in Malaysia for the expansion of the group, so I really can't spare the incident to be busy with such things. Uncle Lei doesn't have much business on Kowloon Construction now, so I think it's very appropriate for you to be busy with this. ”

Regarding Li Guangyu's refusal, several people present here are not disappointed, Li Guangyu does not rely on film companies to develop. In their Li Group, it is said that the Li senior management does not care much about whether Jiayi Group can make a profit, what they want is to control public opinion, and everything else is incidental.

Lei Juekun doesn't think that he has the ability to lead Xiangjiang Films out of Asia, except for Li Guangyu, there are still some possibilities for wrinkles, so forget about the others.

Lei Juekun said: "Guangyu, I still know very well that I don't have the strength to be this leader. Let's leave this for now, and we'll discuss it later. ”

After all, today is still for the Academy Awards, Lei Juekun doesn't want to take the lead, and puts all the things on this aspect, after all, today is Run Run Shaw's treat.

Lei Juekun is going to negotiate with Wrinkle Huai and others again on this matter, if Li Guangyu wants to come out in this matter, he must let Li Guangyu see the benefits, he knows Li Guangyu's character, if he can have a huge profit, he will definitely do it.

Today, Run Run Shaw gave face to the leaders of various film and television companies, and he and Fang Yihua have been waiting outside the door of the Peninsula Hotel to greet the guests who came today. It wasn't until the dinner was about to start that he and Fang Yihua came to the banquet hall.

Run Run Shaw thanked everyone for coming, and at the same time explained the plan of the Academy Awards and asked for their support.

Li Guangyu, Lei Juekun, Wrinkle Huai and others have already expressed their stance to Run Run Shaw, and after Run Run Shaw finished speaking, they all stood up to express their support for Run Run Shaw to hold such an event.

The bosses of other film companies saw Li Guangyu and their three top companies all expressed their support. They immediately complied and expressed their support for Shaw.

Run Run Shaw said: "Thank you very much for your trust in me, please rest assured that the selection of our Academy Awards will follow the three principles of fairness, justice and openness, and there will never be a situation where we deliberately favor any one film company, and we will invite film companies from other countries and regions to participate in the future to expand the influence of our Hong Kong Film Festival." ”
