"A new entrepreneurial consortium invaded the film market, and Lin Qi claimed that he would become an industry disruptor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"It was revealed that the newly started film and television entertainment company was established internally. Originally, Hong Kong's upstart giant Fulin Qi was ready to spend 300 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire Li's TV equity as a whole. Danli's TV Australian shareholder Lion Da started, 61% of the shares, and asked for 300 million. Lin Qi's acquisition of Li was frustrated and failed to get 100% of the shares, so he started anew and created a new entrepreneurial film and television entertainment company......"

"Decipher the real reason why Lin Qi invested in the film and television industry. ”

Since mid-May, new start-up film and television entertainment companies have begun to swipe media in Hong Kong in addition to TVB.

At the same time, Li's TV station is also under the control of the management of the Australian Gang's cronies, and has an ambiguous attitude towards the new start-up film and television company, and does not vigorously support the new start-up film and television company because Lin Qi is the new shareholder of the company.

However, Golden Harvest Company in the film industry welcomed Lin Qi's investment in the film industry, and at the same time, it frequently wanted to show favor to new start-up companies, indicating that Golden Harvest Company was willing to cooperate with new start-up film and television companies.

In addition to the partnership between the new start-up electronics company and Golden Harvest in the game industry, it is also because the pressure on Golden Harvest in the film and television industry is also increasing.

originally thought that after defeating Shaw Brothers Film Company, Golden Harvest would be able to dominate Hong Kong's film industry. However, in fact, Golden Harvest only dominated the entire seventies. Entering the 80s, a large number of emerging companies in the Hong Kong film industry were established, and traditional film giants such as Golden Harvest did not occupy much advantage in production.

However, the problem of the cinema chain is just a problem of money, and if you are willing to spend money and invest, two or three hundred million yuan of funds is enough to sit on an equal footing with giants such as Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest in the cinema market.

It is precisely for this reason that any wealthy person in Hong Kong's traditional industry can make a huge wave if they want to invest in the film industry.

For example, the owner of the Kowloon Bus Company, Lei Juekun, has continuously increased the investment in the cinema chain in the 70s, and established the Golden Princess Cinema Line, which is slightly inferior to Golden Harvest and has more than 10 large-scale cinemas. Subsequently, Golden Princess Cinema Company, imitating Golden Harvest's model, cooperated with producers in the film industry to establish a series of joint venture film production companies, including New Arts City.

With the production of Golden Princess Cinema and New Art City, the two show the power of a perfect combination. Golden Harvest also watched from the sidelines, and gradually began to realize that Golden Princess Cinemas and Xinyicheng Film Company have become Golden Harvest's henchmen.

……

The new start-up film and television company is not short of money, and the initial injection of funds will reach 50 million yuan. Subsequently, with the development of the business, Lin Qi can provide almost unlimited funds.

Of course, in the current Hong Kong film industry, the production cost of a movie is between 1 million ~ 3 million. At present, the company's 50 million yuan of capital wants to be spent and turned into film and television works, but it has encountered the problem that there are no talents available.

"It would be nice if one of Mai Dangxiong and Xu Xiaoming was here!" Huang Xizhao couldn't help but sigh.

Mai Dangxiong is now independent and has opened his own Mai Dangxiong Film Company, which has been put into operation, and Huang Xizhao has no plans to call this disciple to help for the time being. After all, if you call him over, it will be embarrassing if he doesn't. Of course, although Mai Dangxiong is a ghost, Lin Qi is not eye-catching.

Because the "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" series filmed by Mai Dangxiong in the 80s was too bad, although it created a realistic gunfight theme in Hong Kong, there were too many contents that scandalized mainlanders. Although there is no evidence that Mai Dangxiong is a Hong Kong independence, "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" indirectly deepened the trend of scandalizing the image of the mainland in Hong Kong's film and television industry.

On the contrary, it was Xu Xiaoming, after Mai Dangxiong left Li's, he took on the role of Li's and the number one producer of the ATV era. The TV series produced by him are also relatively positive in three views, for example, "Huo Yuanjia", a popular TV series in China in the 80s, was produced by Xu Xiaoming. It is worth mentioning that the classic song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" was sung by Xu Xiaoming.

Subsequently, he successively created works such as "Chen Zhen", "Huo Dongge", "Walking to Tiger Mountain Again", etc., which are both applauded and emotional.

"Mai Dangxiong opened a company outside, and when he made money, he let him make money by himself, and when he lost money, he would take action again and pull him along. Lin Qi smiled and said, "As for Xu Xiaoming, don't dig it." If it goes well, Li's will still be able to acquire it sooner or later. ”

"So, at present, the company is ready to invest, who will shoot and what will be taken?" Huang Xizhao didn't want the new company to fall into a loss-making situation in the investment project at the beginning. After all, he has always been a careful budgeter and doesn't like to burn money blindly.

"The script is done. Lin Qi took out a copy of "Happy Ghost" and said with a smile, "Director candidate, I think I might as well try to cooperate with Xinyicheng and borrow a few people from his company, Huang Baiming and Gao Zhisen." ”

"Huang Baiming and Gao Zhisen?" Huang Xizhao felt a little puzzled, please Huang Baiming can understand, after all, Huang Baiming is also a familiar face in the film industry. But Gao Zhisen is relatively unfamiliar.

This is also normal, Gao Zhisen is not popular now, and what really shines is when he writes and directs the "Happy Ghost" series of movies a few years later.

Of course, in addition to the "Happy Ghost" series, Gao Zhisen's later works received a mediocre response, and they were far less popular than this series.

……

"When we were making movies in Hong Kong at that time, we often encouraged ourselves with a sentence: the best idea is the cheapest idea, the best solution to the problem is the cheapest way to solve the problem, and the best bridge is the cheapest bridge. This is the point of view that Gao Zhisen expounded later when communicating with the media.

This logic can be regarded as an inextinguishable truth in comedies that win with plot and creativity. Even in the United States, hundreds of thousands of dollars of low-budget comedies have swept the film industry, creating a miracle of hundreds of millions of dollars or even hundreds of millions of dollars in box office revenue. And after the first part became popular, the cost soared to tens of millions of dollars in budget, but it was not necessarily more amazing than the first part.

For example, a movie like "Happy Ghost" costs only 2 million Hong Kong dollars. And if you get it to the future generations, you will not be able to make such a film with a bunch of star lineups with a budget of 100 million.

It is precisely because of the factor of "Happy Ghost" that Lin Qi pays attention to Gao Zhisen. Although, he has never created a work that exceeds the level of "Happy Ghost" in the future, but he should still be a good director.

After all, the vast majority of directors can't stay at their peak forever, and they may only be able to play their best in a few works in their lifetime. It is precisely because of this that Lin Qi decided to hand over "Happy Ghost" to Gao Zhisen as the director in advance.

Comedy is a genre that relies on inspiration, creativity, and talent.

Some people are born with humor, and some things and words that seem ordinary to happen in the film, but when combined, they are hilarious.

But it's much more difficult to keep creating comedies than it is to make serious themes such as science fiction, history, and society.

Although, major film awards, there is a bias against comedy.

But Lin Qi feels that this type of masterpiece is definitely more valuable than those award-winning works at the Berlin, Cannes, and Venice film festivals.

Those film awards are always given to pseudo-humanistic themes, which only cultivate white left, hypocritical morality, feminism, environmentalism and the like. Humanistic care, a lot of it is anti-human, anti-humanistic. True humanistic care should be to treat people as human beings, which is a kind of real "benevolence". However, in modern society, all kinds of art that excavate human nature are gradually going further and further down the road of anti-humanity. Taking ugliness as beauty, pointing to deer as horse, and reversing black and white has gradually become a necessary skill for modern artists.
