Chapter 378: Tsui Hark joins

Lin Qi's heart-wrenching wooing, although it is not as good as Liu Bei's invitation to Kong Ming, can also be called a corporal of Lixian. It is already very sincere to let a boss like Lin Qi, who controls hundreds of billions of large conglomerates, personally invite someone to join.

Under normal circumstances, they are the heads of their subsidiaries who come over to poach people. Even, in many cases, the new entrepreneurship department has not poached people, and others have already gone over to support themselves.

Lin Qi is so sincere to woo, and the salary is not low!

This makes Tsui Hark very excited, to know that the pattern of a director not only depends on his own talent, but more importantly, whether there is financial support behind him. The pattern of the financiers behind it is the key to determining what heights talented directors can reach in the end.

is as strong as Tsui Hark, and the films he participated in the creation of between the 80s ~ 90s, such as "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Huang Feihong", "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "Green Snake", "New Dragon Gate Inn" and other films, have even become textbooks for countless people in the film and television industry to pay tribute to and imitate in the next few decades.

The new wave of martial arts films represented by Tsui Hark has even influenced Hollywood. made Hollywood realize that simple explosions and big scenes were not enough, so he began to ask the martial arts instructors of the golden age of Hong Kong films to guide Hollywood blockbusters to reimagine the action design.

Some Hollywood blockbusters that have been transformed by Chinese martial arts instructors and action design experts are also very different from the beauty of previous blockbusters.

Tsui Hark has made a lot of contributions, but his international influence is mediocre. Even if others use his ideas, they may not remember him. Because, Tsui Hark's global box office performance is far less dazzling than those Hollywood directors.

And those big directors in Hollywood can dominate the film industry, depending on the support of the capital consortium behind Hollywood. As long as those talented directors can handle $10 million, the consortium behind Hollywood will not hesitate to invest $10 million. When the genius director can gradually control the investment of $20 million or $50 million, and still won't lose money, then the amount of investment he can get will gradually rise.

A director like Cameron continues to prove his strength, and gradually with his qualifications, he can get a huge amount of $200 million to produce "Titanic"!

The director of Chinese films is limited to the strength of the market and the investors behind them, and at present, the top directors, with their own box office appeal, can raise 20 million Hong Kong dollars, which is already the limit. After all, the traditional Hong Kong film market is not too big, and the budget of 20 million Hong Kong dollars is already very risky for traditional Hong Kong films. Therefore, if the director wants to further gain room for growth, he will be limited by funds and stagnate at tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars for a long time, and gradually open up the gap with Hollywood's $100 million director!

However, the new entrepreneurship department is an exception, because the Pangu computer and VCD of the new entrepreneurship department sell well all over the world, relying on this influence, the new entrepreneurship department has established a large number of partners and sales networks around the world.

Even with Hollywood giants, they can rely on the sales channels of the VCD disc market to negotiate with Hollywood media giants for copyright distribution cooperation in traditional cinema channels and even cable TV channels.

Comparatively speaking, Golden Harvest has more than 100 cinemas in the Asian market, and Golden Princess has less than 40 cinemas. The rest of the hairstyle channels need to be negotiated with the cinema operator. In essence, Golden Harvest and Princess Jin are not giants.

It can only be said that there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are the overlords.

In the past, Hong Kong's film landscape was so small that a company that controlled dozens of movie theaters could stand on the head of 20,000 film industry practitioners and call the shots. Even, the small Taiwan market relies on hundreds of movie theaters, but it can ban some Hong Kong artists. Once the Taiwan authorities announce the blockade, then few investors are willing to invest in the people on the blockade list.

In essence, it is also because the Hong Kong film pattern is too small, so that the market of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in the Taiwan market is also very important for the Hong Kong film industry.

However, the new entrepreneurship department does not care about the Taiwan market, and so far, the new entrepreneurship department has been blocked by the Taiwan market because most of the products are manufactured in the mainland.

However, Taiwanese consumers do not seem to be too supportive of their policies, and often take advantage of the convenience of traveling to Hong Kong to buy Pangu consoles and game CDs.

VCD is even more openly sold in Taiwan, because Xinfei Technology behind VCD has two major shareholders, one is Xinchuang Electronics, and the other is Philips. Taiwan's blockade is just a bureaucratic mentality, and it does not have to be against the new entrepreneurial electronics. The shareholder behind Xinfei Electronics is Philips, and some of its public shares are listed on the Japanese stock market, which makes Taiwan pretend that Xinfei is an international company and downplay its background.

After the representative of Xinfei Electronics Japan Branch visited Taiwan, Taiwan quickly knelt and licked, so that the VCD could be officially sold in the Taiwan market. Unfortunately, piracy in the Taiwanese market is rampant, VCD disc burning equipment is now widespread, and the price difference between blank CD discs and CDs with software and VCDs with film and television content is too large. As a result, Taiwan has formed the largest pirated optical disc manufacturing base in Asia.

This is also in line with the law of history, after all, in history, Taiwan was the first region in Asia to engage in large-scale piracy. Historically, piracy of red and white machines is also the earliest in Taiwan, before the domestic overlord, Taiwan vigorously developed the electronics industry, but also from the beginning of piracy. At the beginning, the semiconductor industry had no orders and no technology, mainly by making pirated red and white machines and cassettes, and accumulated the first pot of gold and technical team. After earning the first pot of gold, in order to enable Taiwan's semiconductor industry to obtain orders from the international market, the Taiwanese government began to guide the transformation and crack down on piracy manufacturers. As a result, Taiwan, Asia's largest manufacturing base for electronic product piracy, has begun to resolutely protect copyright interests. Major semiconductor companies have also begun to continue to launder, erasing all the history of illegally obtaining the first pot of gold (of course, until the 21st century, Taiwan still retains the largest counterfeit money manufacturing base in Asia). Most of the counterfeit money received in China is made in Taiwan. )

After Taiwan's semiconductor industry gradually began to wash its hands, after the transformation to semiconductor foundry, the mainland only began to take over Taiwan's pirated red and white machines and cassettes in the 80s in the 90s.

Of course, red and white machines are so easy to be pirated, mainly because the technical threshold is too low. As long as semiconductor manufacturers have the technological level to produce 6502 chips, then there is no technical threshold for manufacturing red and white machines. At the end of the 80s, the introduction of the eliminated 6502 production line only cost a few million dollars even if it was pitted.

As for the Pangu host of Xinye Electronics, there are few imitations. Because, the technical threshold of the CPU, hard disk, etc. of the Pangu host is too high. Moreover, the retail price in the market is also so low that counterfeiting is not profitable. It is precisely because of this that the probability that the market can buy a fake Pangu console is very low.

After considering the background and prospects of the new entrepreneurship department, Tsui Hark finally made up his mind and said: "Thanks to Boss Lin, I signed this contract!"

Lin Qi said with a smile: "Congratulations! In the future, Mr. Xu will definitely not regret today's decision! Moreover, we would rather lack than abuse, and in the future, the Hong Kong industry will probably envy Mr. Xu's opportunities and achievements!"
