Chapter 1094 The Eight Great Pictures of Xiangjiang

Li Guangyu's suggestion is good, but the others are not Li Guangyu, and they don't know the future situation, at least in the current period, in the film box office market, Baodao is much more important than the mainland.

Many of these small film companies are just trying to make a little quick money when Xiangjiang films are booming, they don't have such lofty ideals, let alone long-term vision, they just live in the present, hoping to make a little hard money.

They are not willing to gamble on things that are too high-risk, and of course they are not opposed to Li Guangyu and Wu Siyuan going to negotiate with the mainland, if they can succeed, they will also make profits, and if something goes wrong, they will not have too much loss, although this will not make a lot of money, but it will also reduce their risk, so that they will not go bankrupt.

In the end, the association meeting approved a delegation of the Xiangjiang film industry led by vice president Ye Jiexin, executive directors Wu Siyuan, Pan Disheng, Huang Xizhao, and more than a dozen members to go to Beijing on a certain day to negotiate with the mainland government, so that Xiangjiang films can enter the mainland as much as possible, and preferably cinemas can also enter the mainland, at least enter the cities that have been opened to the outside world.

After the meeting, Li Guangyu held separate talks with Lei Juekun, Run Run Shaw, Qiu Degen, Zou Wenhuai, Pan Disheng, Xiang Huasheng, and Wu Siyuan.

Although Wireless Pictures has just been established, with Shaw's prestige in running Shaw Brothers and the backer of TVB, it has become one of the eight major film companies in Hong Kong.

At present, the top three, Jiayi, Golden Harvest, New Art City, Asia, Dickson, Yongsheng, Siyuan four are of equal strength, plus the newly established wireless pictures, together with the people of Xiangjiang hailed as the future of the film industry in Xiangjiang.

Due to the influence of Li Guangyu's life, the three major TV stations are all satellite TV, with Southeast Asia and East Asian markets as support, several major TV stations are very profitable, and the major TV stations have their own record companies, film companies, and artist management companies.

Lei Juekun's development in this life is not the same, although he lost the Kowloon Bus, but he firmly controlled Xinlong Real Estate, this company used to be called Kowloon Real Estate, and later the Li consortium established the Kowloon Group, in order to avoid some misunderstandings, Lei Juekun directly changed the name.

Because of some friendships established with Li Guangyu, he avoided the 82-year crisis in real estate, and operated behind Li Guangyu, allowing him to make a lot of money in real estate.

The development of Xinyi City has also been very good in recent years, and now Lei Juekun's assets have also exceeded 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, and he is also an upper-class figure in Xiangjiang.

Golden Harvest is still strong in the film industry, if it weren't for Jiayi Group's very big advantage in overseas markets, Jiayi Pictures really can't compare with Golden Harvest, and Golden Harvest is also operating and listed, once the listing is successful, Golden Harvest's strength will be doubled.

In fact, Yongsheng is not short of development funds, but because of the talent trap, their current development can be on par with Siyuan Pictures and Dickson Pictures, and Dickson Pictures, like Yongsheng, is not short of money, but lacks talents.

Only Wu Siyuan, his company is far from being able to compare with the other seven in terms of funds, and even some companies with a lower ranking than him, relying on his own ability, he forcibly pulled Siyuan Pictures to the position of one of the eight major film and television companies in Xiangjiang.

The year before last, Lin Baixin approached Wu Siyuan, hoping to take a stake in his Siyuan Pictures, but unfortunately Wu Siyuan wanted to firmly control the company in his own hands and did not agree.

Later, Lin Baixin invested in a company called Xinya Pictures, but the development in the past two years has not been too ideal, and even Siyuan Pictures can't suppress it.

Li Guangyu said: "Today we all sit together, we all have the same aspirations, the development of the Hong Kong film industry is also related to the development of our film companies, the world pattern is obvious, Hollywood has the North American market as a backing, plus its country is the top hegemon, which makes ordinary countries dare not restrict their films from being released in their own countries."

And our Xiangjiang is completely different, due to historical reasons, we are now very embarrassed, not to mention big countries, that is, some small countries and regions dare to restrict our releases, and the Xiangjiang market is too small to support the development of so many of our film companies.

The mainland market is the only chance we can compete with the United States, and as long as we have the support of the mainland market, we can compete with Hollywood in the world. ”

In order to protect the development of their own enterprises, it is only a matter of time before countries and regions build a wall, and Japan is only taking the lead this time.

No country or region wants its own movies to be foreign, and in order to protect their local culture, all localities will definitely take action.

Lei Juekun said: "Guangyu, I know you must have some ideas, you talk about it, I will do my best if you need my support." ”

Lei Juekun has gained a lot of benefits from following Li Guangyu over the years, he will not question Li Guangyu's vision, it may be difficult for them, he believes that this is not a big deal for Li Guangyu.

Qiu Degen, as the chairman of the Far Eastern Group, also said: "Guangyu, if you have any ideas, just say that if you need our help, we will definitely not refuse." ”

Li Guangyu said: "Everyone also knows that Hong Kong will return in 1997, and for the sake of our major enterprises to develop better in the mainland, and for our films to enter the mainland market, I hope that the films you shoot in the future can be strictly reviewed, and there will be no plots that smear the image of the mainland." ”

In the previous life, the Hong Kong film industry reacted too late, so that it was many years later to enter the mainland, and compared with foreign companies, there was not much preferential treatment, and the problem was the plot of some of the Xiangjiang films.

If the Xiangjiang film industry wants to avoid the path of its previous life, it can only occupy the mainland market, otherwise the Xiangjiang film industry will still not be able to avoid decline, even if Jiayi Group can support it, it will not be able to change this general trend.

If the Hong Kong film industry had the support of the mainland market, the outcome would be completely different, especially if they could enter the mainland to invest in cinemas, then the development of the Hong Kong film industry would no longer be a problem.

Li Guangyu arranged for Ye Jiexin to go to the capital in person this time, hoping to get the right to build a theater, once he has this, Li Guangyu will quickly build a super cinema in the mainland, and he will build a cinema line to as many cities as the mainland opens to the outside world.

Negotiate with the mainland on tax issues, this cinema chain can definitely support the development of the film industry in Xiangjiang, and now the VCD has not yet come out, and the people in the mainland are still very happy to go to the cinema to watch movies.

Li Guangyu believes that this period is still very attractive to the mainland government, and the construction of theaters can stimulate investment and employment, Li Guangyu and they will invest in Hong Kong dollars and bring them foreign exchange, Li Guangyu does not believe that this matter is not possible at all.
