Li Mo and Zhou Yanfa's meal didn't last very long.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Li Mo and Zhou Yunfa said goodbye to each other at the door of the restaurant.

"Brother Fa, is the hotel you live in far away from here? Why don't we send you first?"

"No need, Director Li," Zhou Yanfa's face was hazy in the dim light, "I'm still familiar with this area, and it's only a matter of ten minutes to go back." ”

"Okay, my friend drank a little too much just now, I'll take her for a walk first, let's eat less, and we'll see you later." ”

"Goodbye!"

There is no good feast, there is no good meal, this is really not wrong at all.

Before this meal, the two of them were still 'Brother Fa' and 'Li Mo', and it had only been more than an hour, and the titles had already changed to 'Brother Fa' and 'Director Li'......

Although Li Mo is still respectful to Zhou Yanfa and regards him as a senior, he ...... And that's all.

The reason is very simple, although Zhou Yunfa did not say it explicitly, but just the meaning revealed in his words made Li Mo unacceptable.

After taking Fat Di back to the hotel by car, Li Mo immediately called Zong Shuai and Zhong Lifang together and found a place in the hotel's café for a meeting.

"Brother Zong, how far will our branch in Xiangjiang develop, and what is the outlook or expectation for the future over there?"

Li Mo held back his breath, and Zong Shuai and Zhong Lifang were now the two closest to him among the company's top executives, so he simply went straight to the point as soon as he came up, and even saved a little politeness.

After listening to Li Mo's questioning, Zong Shuai was stunned.

It's not that Li Mo's words are too shocking, it's just that he didn't understand what Li Mo meant at all.

Does he think that there is still a future for Xiangjiang films, and he plans to increase his investment in Xiangjiang films?

Or is it because of any problems encountered when working with Xiangjiang filmmakers, and you plan to cut off the connection with the Xiangjiang film industry cleanly?

…… Big brother, what do you mean, give me an explicit hint or something.

There was no way, after thinking about it for a few seconds, Zong Shuai still decided to tell the truth.

"At present, the main function of the Heung Kong branch is to exist as the main body of script declaration, such as the film "Wushuang" that our company invested in and shot last year, which is difficult to pass the review in the mainland, but if it is a Heung Kong company, it will be much easier. ”

There's no way, the 'Thirty-six Generals of Tiangang' of the Film Censorship Committee is so painful.

For the same theme, if a mainland company applies for it, nine times out of ten it will be denied, but if it is proposed by a company from Xiangjiang or Baodao, most of the 'Tiangang 36 Generals' will choose to release it as long as it is confirmed that there will be no insinuation in the script......

"In addition to this function, are there any problems with the operation of the Heung Kong branch?"

After thinking about it for a while, Li Mo continued to ask.

"It's basically a turnaround function, and most of the work is in charge of the Demon Capital or the Imperial Capital Company......"

"That'...... Starting from next month, Heung Kong will only retain a registered address, and all the actual office space of all staff will be moved to Pengcheng. ”

"Why?"

"What's wrong?"

As expected, Zong Shuai and Zhong Lifang's exclamations rang out.

"Because some people think that we are outsiders and plan to fight the autumn breeze from us," Li Mo sneered, "My hands are stretched out quite long, and I am not afraid of exhausting myself to death." ”

"Fighting the autumn wind?"

What the hell is this?

Continuing to sneer, Li Mo began to slowly tell what had just happened.

It's not that complicated.

As we all know, since the beginning of the new century, Hong Kong films have been in a downward spiral.

Oriental Hollywood?

No one has mentioned it for a long time;

Influence in Southeast Asia?

Wake up, that thing is all about the Year of the Monkey;

If these are just the loss of name and publicity, then the loss of actual benefits is real.

The film market is sluggish - the financiers have left - the number of movie theaters has shrunk - the practitioners are either looking for other jobs or going north directly to develop - the film market is sluggish......

Such a vicious circle is playing out every day in the Hong Kong film circle......

In this context, the Xiangjiang Film Awards, which are known as the 'three golds' of Chinese films, together with the Mainland Film Golden Rooster Award and the Baodao Film Golden Horse Award, have become a joke.

Every year, less than 30 theatrical films are filmed, and 15 winners are selected from them......

To be honest, it is estimated that the winning rate of any award ceremony in the world will not be so high, right?

That's fine, after all, there has never been a long-lasting dynasty in this world, let alone a long-lasting industry.

It is not difficult to understand the reason of introducing new blood, changing the way of doing things, changing the way of doing things, and living the general, right?

But what about the answer of the Xiangjiang filmmakers?

I don't, I don't, I don't!

always thought that he was still living in the golden age of Xiangjiang movies,

In that case, how can you not die?

The reason is simple, someone has a blood transfusion.

In order to 'save' Hong Kong Films, as early as 2002, five years after the return of Hong Kong, at the request and suggestion of a number of famous filmmakers in Hong Kong, the Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region funded the establishment of the Hong Kong Film Development Bureau, and set up a film development fund under its organizational structure, hoping to fund young filmmakers in Hong Kong.

As long as young filmmakers can come up with project plans and scripts, they can basically get creative funds ranging from 5 million to a maximum of 15 million.

It's just that after so many years, there are still very few new generation directors who really rely on this plan to successfully break through, but the Hong Kong Film Development Bureau is facing a problem: the film development fund cannot make ends meet.

Nonsense, it's no wonder if you don't lose money.

Even if the Film Development Fund only bears the investment cost of up to 40% for each film of these young directors, these films are basically the result of losing their money after they are released.

One or two is not a problem, and one or two years is not a problem, but as of 2014, this method has been running for nearly ten years, and nearly 300 million yuan has been wasted......

So, in order to continue to renew the life of the half-dead Xiangjiang movie, in the past year, the local faction led by Zeng Zhiwei and Hong Zuxin has been very troubled about this matter......

The local company is familiar with everyone, and it has been in Xiangjiang for decades, and it is deeply rooted and difficult to start;

Companies like China Star and Emperor all have their own backgrounds and dare not start;

Just when they were almost in despair, the appearance of Molong Media Xiangjiang Company can be said to have made them see hope in the darkness.

Visitors from other cities, no background, and rich thieves Tama......

Such a company is simply sorry for itself if it doesn't start.

But then again, in this place of Xiangjiang, once you have money to a certain extent, you can almost really say that you can do whatever you want.

In order to avoid stepping on thunder, Zeng Zhiwei and Hong Zuxin used their strength to find Zhou Yanfa, who is the biggest name in the crew of "Wushuang".

This is the result of Fa Ge flying thousands of miles and appearing in Bangkok.

In the thoughts of Zeng Zhiwei and others, they hope that Molong can cross-exchange shares with China Star, Emperor and other companies, and then everyone will invest 200 to 300 million yuan together to inject capital into the film development fund......

For this kind of proposal, Li Mo refused without thinking about it.

Not to mention whether the use of this fund is transparent enough, Li Mo has nothing to do with Xiangjiang Films, so why should he pay money from his own pocket to save a film industry system that has obviously declined to the extreme?

The empire of light and shadow of China Entertainment
