Chapter 625: Proposal for Cooperation
Xiang Yi'an shook his head, smiled and said: "No one is not afraid, this kind of change of flag has always been a big thing, how can you not be afraid, and judging from historical events, the mainland will not be soft on people like us, and the attitude towards businessmen is not clear, maybe only those wealthy families can not be afraid, they have international influence." β
Zhang Xingming asked, "Is Mr. Xiang trying to form an international influence now?"
Xiang Yi'an shook his head: "Where is it so easy, but there is a hope that you always have to work hard, now I basically don't care much about the affairs of the gang, and I rarely ask about it, but Mr. Zhang should understand, it is not so easy to pull your hand, if you take a step back, others will go further, and if you retreat more, there will be problems if you want to survive." β
Zhang Xingming nodded to show his understanding, and said: "As soon as you took office, you opened a film company against public opinion, coupled with a series of actions, it seems that you are very resolute in turning to the right line, and you can see far enough, I am still very optimistic about you." β
Xiang Yi'an thought for a moment and said, "Can you represent the mainland?"
Zhang Xingming shook his head and said: "You think too highly of me, how can I have that qualification, but it's okay to influence it a little." β
Xiang Yi'an asked: "Then you were also talking about one country and two systems just now, is this true?"
Zhang Xingming nodded and said: "Really, it's true, so you put your heart in your stomach, as long as you don't bring disaster to the country and the people, there is no big problem, of course, after all, the national system must change, and there will definitely be some changes on the whole, such as the tolerance for breaking the law is much lower, I think you also know this in your heart." β
Xiang Yi'an said: "I understand, the black @ gang will not be killed all at once, but the constraints are certain, like the street now, I think it must not exist, so I look at this piece very lightly now, if someone grabs it, you are willing to take me and let you do it." β
Zhang Xingming said with a smile: "Yes, this is inevitable, slowly the government will guide the gang into the right line, little by little by the society to digest, this process may be 20 years, 30 years, or 50 years, but this direction will not change, historically, the gang on Hong Kong Island still played a lot of positive roles, and protecting people's livelihood is also a contribution." β
Xiang Yi'an said, "Thank you." But the black @ gang is the black @ gang, this can't be changed, the black @ gang is to grab the street to collect protection money, it's not so easy to turn into a regular line, there is a way to get money fast, who is willing to work hard. Opening a business for a month is not as much as selling ecstasy for a day. β
Zhang Xingming said: "Drugs @ products and arms @ fire will definitely be severely cracked down, you should understand something, the mainland government has zero tolerance for these two things, this attitude will never change, you have to believe that once the mainland government has made up its mind what to do, that kind of efficiency and power is unimaginable." β
Xiang Yi'an nodded and said: "I know, just like the strict @ beating in the past few years, I would rather kill by mistake than let go, there were a lot of people who came over in those years, and I also had below, these people are more ruthless and dare to do things than us." But these people don't follow the rules, which is not good, and we don't like it very much. β
Zhang Xingming said: "For the mainlanders, this is a foreign country, a place that has nothing to do with themselves, there is no restraint in thought, and the behavior is naturally perverse, which can be imagined. β
Xiang Yi'an nodded and said, "It should be like this." The fourteenth was known as the world's No. 1 black @ gang, and it was famous in Europe, the United States, and the Maple Leaf National Star Jiapi, including the entire Southeast Asia, in fact, this is the reason. We also go, we also have business abroad, it is not good not to fight or fight, the exclusion is very strong, we Chinese go out to be looked down upon, there is no dignity, some of my good boys go out for half a year and are called devil boys. β
Zhang Xingming said: "Making movies is very promising, but you have to be fine and make high-quality products, and now your films are a little too rough." Whether it is a TV series or a movie on Hong Kong Island, from the story to the scene to the makeup, the cycle is too short, I heard that many films are made while the script is produced, or there is no script at all, now this market is better, what about the future? I don't know if you haven't gone out to see the foreign film industry, you have to learn from others, and now this practice is afraid that it will be difficult to last. β
Xiang Yi'an took the cigarette handed over by Zhang Xingming, lit it on Zhang Xingming's hand and took a puff and said: "Where is it so easy, it costs money, don't look at the appearance of the gang is very glamorous, there is no money, just the little brother below has a lot of expenses, and he has to install a faΓ§ade, drive a good car and live in a good house, and want to give a big benefit to the restaurant below, it is not realistic to spend a lot of money on movies."
Hong Kong Island's film and music including card theft are all done by the black @ gang, everyone does not interfere with each other, but they all know in their hearts, no one is willing to invest money here, it is really not enough money is a few gangs to cooperate temporarily, and the poor help the poor and the poor do not have much money, just take one step at a time. β
The Hong Kong Island film industry began in the thirties and forties, and by the eighties, many celebrities had filmed many works, which were once released in Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States, but in terms of influence, it had to be Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. Shaw Brothers is very rich, and at the beginning of its establishment, it could compete with Cathay Pacific, the best at the time, to grab actors and scripts, and then the competition became more and more fierce, and the boss of Cathay Pacific had a difficult opportunity, which was the only accident in the Hong Kong Island film and television industry that had nothing to do with the fire.
Cathay Pacific is the International Electricity Company, the former giant of the Hong Kong Island film industry, and it is a dominant company. Before it was Yonghua, which collapsed due to a fire, and the studio belonged to Cathay, and the founder of Cathay Pacific struggled to operate after the accident, and finally closed down, and Yonghua Studio returned to Golden Harvest.
Shaw Brothers was founded in 58 years, and Golden Harvest was established in 70 years, and after its establishment, it became two insurmountable mountains in the film and television industry on Hong Kong Island.
All industries have disputes, and the film and television industry is the same, and the decline of every film and television company on Hong Kong Island has an inexplicable fire.
In the fifties and sixties, the Black @ Gang entered the film and television industry in a big way, but Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest still stood at the peak, and the fire continued to burn.
Zhang Xingming smiled and said: "Didn't you invest the money? No one dared, right? Can you really get it back if you put money in?"
Xiang Yi'an shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Hong Kong Island movies have been controlled by the black @ gang for too long, from the fifties to the present, and the entire businessman system is separated, although objectively speaking, businessmen and the black @ gang have always seemed to be together, that is just the surface, the entire business circle does not trust the black @ gang, and the black @ gang also looks down on businessmen, and they are just going farther and farther, and people like Liuye and Uncle Huai are just one or two." To put it mildly, businessmen who invest money in movies will be investigated by the ICAC for money laundering, and no one will ask for trouble. β
Zhang Xingming took a sip of the teacup, thought for a while and said, "Three points for you, you think about it." First, from now on, don't let go of the poison thing, nothing will work, whether it is sitting in the hall or the horse cubs, all the poisoned cubs can be cleaned up, you can do this in a high-profile manner, net help.
Second, clean the field, all the sites below are cleaned up, I can send someone to help you, and comprehensively ban drugs. I don't care about Huang @ gambling and lending, but I can't force or rob, do you understand? This matter also has to be done in a high-profile manner, and I will let the media, including the mainland media, cooperate with you and establish a positive image.
Third, make the film company bigger, absorb more good actors and creative personnel, and be fair to people, who are creative personnel, and good movies are inseparable from good scripts. If you lack money, you can find me, I will lend you money, I don't want you interest or dividends, you just need to do things well, let's do this quietly, you just know it. β
Xiang Yi'an picked up the hot coffee that the waiter had just changed and took a sip, thinking quietly.
