After the meeting, the grassroots managers of Shaw Brothers Cinema left the venue, and Lin Qi left Huang Xizhao and other senior executives of the newly entrepreneurial film and television group to further discuss the follow-up plan.

Shooting, post-production and projection technology, although theoretically a complete system. However, after all, the operator may not be the whole industry, so it is necessary to persuade the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to adopt the plan of the new entrepreneurship department.

The more users identify with these technical aspects, the more important the future of the new entrepreneurship department will be in the field of film and television industry technology.

A company that only shoots and distributes films is not as good as a technology-led enterprise that has all the core technologies of the industrial chain of projection equipment, shooting equipment, and post-production special effects.

In addition, it is the beginning of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, and in the future, for the film source released in theaters, priority will be given to works shot by digital equipment. Film films shot by non-digital cameras are gradually decreasing.

This method also forced the cooperating directors and crews to choose to replace new shooting equipment in order to be released in Shaw Brothers Theaters, and passively upgraded shooting equipment and concepts.

"Boss, it's a bit risky!" Huang Xizhao said earnestly.

"I know, but, it's a big loss of 20 billion. 2 billion is not a loss in one year, it is divided into 5 years of loss, and at most 400 million a year, I can afford to lose. Lin Qi said indifferently, "If it is done, it is conservatively estimated to be a huge market of 100 billion yuan! Financially, don't take it too seriously, the problem is strategic." The project is successful, it is a project of the new venture film and television group, and after it fails, the project can be stripped of the project, and I personally eat it at the original price, which will not affect the interests of the small and medium-sized shareholders of the new venture film and television group!"

"I see!" Huang Xizhao nodded.

In other words, if it is a listed company, or a company with relatively dispersed equity, if there is a major loss or the investment project fails, you have to find someone to bear the blame.

However, the new venture film and television group is not a listed company, and the major shareholder is Lin Qi, including Huang Xizhao and other management, who only holds a little equity. These shares are all rewarded by Lin Qi, how could they oppose Lin Qi.

What's more, these people in the new venture film and television group can gradually become world-famous film and television giants from a small company in this corner of Hong Kong, and they are all supported by Mr. Nai.

Without Mr. Lin, the new entrepreneurial film and television group can at most develop to the level of the new art city, not like it is now, and can talk and laugh with Hollywood giants and sit on an equal footing.

……

Afterwards, Lin Qi took time to visit Run Run Shaw.

Run Run Shaw is in good spirits and looks very good, and he has specially installed a 100-inch plasma 2K TV specially made by Konka Electronics Company in his home.

Whether it is a 100-inch large screen, or 2K high-definition display technology, it is too advanced for the current TV industry. You know,Now720Pdisplay technology,It is still in a state of popularization in the field of TVs,It has not become the mainstream of the market。

However, in the laboratory, a small-scale production of a 100-inch 2K TV is not an impossible task. The cost of this laboratory-produced TV is as high as more than 6 million Hong Kong dollars. Lin Qi and Run Run Shaw did not care about the price of this product, but had a clearer understanding of the development of display technology in the future.

"Lin Sheng, your actions are really good, which makes me, an old man, a little surprised, the times are developing so fast. ”

"Where does Uncle Shao Liu, this is only a product in the laboratory, and when it is put on the market for mass production, and the price can be accepted by the market, it may not be realized after twenty or thirty years. The hard work and spirit of your old-timers are what we should learn, and I came today to ask Uncle Shao for some things. ”

The two sides are already old acquaintances, and Lin Qi is not polite, he waved his hand casually, and even handed out the promotional poster of "Fate/Staynight" on the table.

"Uncle Shao is also interested in this work?"

Lin Qi couldn't help but be curious, although the "Fate" series has been launched, it is also being screened in Shaw Brothers Cinemas. However, Run Run Shaw has not asked about the specific business for many years, how can he be interested in a single movie.

"It's very good, this animated film is so beautifully produced that it can be called the only time in my life. Lin Sheng, I feel that big movie production is the trend of film development, and today, when a hundred flowers are blooming, there will definitely be more excellent works, and the audience's taste will gradually improve. ”

"Uncle Shao, I won't tell you anything, I have this intention to restrict the launch of the movie, so as to force the producer to come up with a better work. Lin Qi said with a smile, "It is fully shot with digital high-definition cameras, and a large number of popular movie special effects!"

Run Run Shaw was also slightly shocked, such an approach will reduce the source and business of Shaw Brothers Cinemas in the short term. But if the strategy gradually succeeds, then Shaw Brothers Cinemas and the new venture film and television group may become one of the controllers of the future film and television industry. not only relies on capital advantages to control the brokerage contract of star directors, which is not reliable, but relies on technology leadership and standard monopoly to truly control the industry's right to speak.

"You are somewhat sure that this direction is right, but the specific process is not easy to control. ”

Run Run Shaw bluntly said that the decline of Shaw Brothers films is the result of the natural development of the market, and Lin Qi's approach is to actively intervene in the market.

"Seven points certain, within five years, the overall production level and quality of Chinese films should be improved, and when the time comes, we will impact the overseas market, and there should be obvious changes. Lin Qi said.

After the release of "Fate/Stay Night", although the effect of film projection equipment was limited, it was also very good in the overseas market, and it set off a boom.

Under the influence of this, many overseas audiences have strongly called for the introduction of digital high-definition projection equipment to better present the effect of the picture.

This is the dawn, of course, it is only the beginning, the vigorous development of Hollywood films, in the early twentieth century, was completely wildfire, quickly blowing the global heat, in the pace of the industrial age, better catering to the tastes of the world, for the overseas world, once formed a huge face.

"Just let it go, the old man's past experience is not accurate, but I feel that you will definitely be able to achieve results that far exceed mine!" said Run Run Shaw.

The two chatted for more than an hour, and then Lin Qi said goodbye and left.

In just half a month, major newspapers and TV stations have implanted advertisements for new ventures, and one of the messages is to promote the technological development of the film industry. Film cinemas will only select a very small number of excellent works to be eligible for screening.

This is a very subtle change, but in the eyes of film practitioners, it is tantamount to a change in the industry.

In the past, the Hong Kong film industry produced 500 or 600 works a year, and some start-up film teams did not even need labor costs, and only scraped together the money for film and rented cameras, and the cost was as low as tens of thousands of yuan.

Those film sources with garbage are also likely to be qualified for theater screening. It's just that if you get a bad grade, you will draw it within a few days.

To put it simply, it is not difficult for Hong Kong films to be released locally, and two-thirds of the films are eligible to be released in cinemas. It's just that for those movies with very poor quality, the cinema only gives a test screening in a screening room, and will not help the producer make more copies. Only if the test screening results are good, more copies will be made and the scope of the screening will be expanded.

The new entrepreneurship department is to give a more brutal screening mechanism, giving priority to digital cameras. This also means that movies with a budget of less than 5 million yuan are out of play! Because, the current digital camera of the new venture film and television group Concession has a rent of up to 3 million yuan for three months.

"What do you want to do with the new venture film and television, are you crazy? Don't want low-budget movies?"

"Hong Kong films are supported by small-budget films, and new start-up film and television companies give up small-cost films, which is self-defeating!"

Almost everyone speculated, and in response, even though the new venture explained the next day, Hong Kong films now need more than quantity, but quality. A large number of practitioners can make 10 movies in more than a year, which are basically bad movies with no influence. Instead of this, it is better to concentrate management and capital and shoot a movie. The era of digital film and television is also the general trend of the future, if you don't want to be eliminated, embrace new technologies as soon as possible in order to have a future.

"I'm afraid I'm crazy, for many years, I've been making movies like this, this is what a new business is going to do, I just filmed the general "Anti-Japanese Cause", and I have talked about cooperation, do you still want me to release it after filming!"

In Humen Film and Television Base, a third-rate crew director just stopped filming a new hand-torn devil shot, and he got such news.

"Director, I'm afraid we can't handle it, there are only a few directors who can really get it on the stage, we are ......" The screenwriter looked at the director with a sad face, very worried.

"It's okay, keep filming, we have a contract with the theater chain, if they refuse, then we will file a lawsuit!" The director gritted his teeth and continued to start filming.

There are many such phenomena, I have to say that they saw the potential of the Shaw Brothers Cinemas acquired by the new venture film and television group, and they mustered up their strength, and they were about to come to a high-yield sow, and they received such news.

All of a sudden, the news spread all over the world, and it can be said that there were many complaints, and no one was optimistic about Lin Qi's operation. The reason is very simple, those who can really produce good works, that is, very few directors can produce them, and a good work requires a lot of time to shoot, according to strict standards, there are at most 20 works a year, which can meet the quality requirements of the new entrepreneurship department. Cinemas can't just serve these films, and in that case, they would have to close their doors for most of the year.

After the craze of a film has passed, it needs better works to take over in order to form a perfect circular chain.

Many people think that Lin Qi is a bit floating, and when he has money, he thinks he can do whatever he wants. Many people even want to watch Boss Lin stumble in the theater market, and if they spit it out, they will eat it again.
