The four major cinema lines of Cantonese films, including the Jin Guo Line and the Shaw Brothers Line, because of the boss's forge ahead, have at least a fixed source of film under their hands, so they all seem vibrant.

But the Taiping Line and the Central Line are still the same.

These two joint cinema chains, still in accordance with the old rules of Cantonese films, stuck in the release deadline of those ordinary Cantonese films, one bread and one side seven dates, sucking the hard work of film workers.

However, for a large number of Cantonese films, the theaters of Jin Guo and Shaw Brothers are not ranked, and it is a good result to be sucked by the remaining two theaters.

At least, it's better than those who directly sell all 50,000 packages!

If you want to say that Cantonese films have been so cruel, it's okay, after all, the makers didn't put much effort into the movie, and it doesn't matter if they are sucked a little blood.

Cantonese films began to recover in 1947, and in the five years since 1952, more than 500 films have been produced, during which the 'Cantonese Film Cleanup Campaign' was also experienced.

But to be honest, among the more than 500 movies, the high-quality Cantonese movies can basically be counted on two hands.

There is no film company specializing in Cantonese boutiques.

Among them, the huge 'Cantonese Film Cleaning Operation' has basically only swept away small people like Wang Tianlin who have no background, and those Cantonese opera bigwigs are still living smoothly in Cantonese films.

This kind of shoddy culture continued until February this year.

I said it before.

At the end of February this year, the last piece of Changfeng's new puzzle, Xinlian Pictures, was established.

More importantly, unlike the Great Wall Phoenix, which makes Chinese films, Xinlian is a Cantonese film company, and it is a company that aspires to shoot high-quality products.

The slogan they shouted was 'Xinlian production, it must be a good film'.

Ahem

Although it is very similar to the slogan of Golden Harvest, it can actually look at the attitude of the new joint film.

Of course, everyone will definitely say, how dare Xinlian, a small company of five people, shout such a big slogan?

Let's not mention here that the direct leader of Xinlian at this time is Li Zuyong's dormitory classmate and the Tuesday boss in the mainland, just the 'South China Film Association' standing behind Xinlian is not a small force.

What is South China Film Association?

The South China Film Federation, whose full name is the South China Film Workers Federation, was established in 1949 in Xiangjiang. The original intention of its establishment is to supervise the healthy development of Cantonese films and protect the legitimate rights and interests of Cantonese film workers.

In the early days of the association, there were only 25 members, but by the end of '49, the number of members had skyrocketed to more than 300.

It includes almost 90% of the Cantonese film elite.

The well-known 'Cantonese Film Cleanup Campaign' was actually initiated by members of this federation.

Of course, the federation is very loose and has little control over its members, as can be seen from its original name of the South China Filmmakers Association.

But the upper echelons of the federation are basically progressive filmmakers.

For example, Zhang Ying, who was mentioned earlier......

So from this point of view, the federation is very similar to the book club, but one is mainly for Cantonese film workers, and the other is mainly for Chinese film workers.

And fundamentally speaking, the management form of the federation is relatively loose, and it does not have the strong political connotation of the reading club.

So today, the reading club is over, but the federation is still alive and well.

Lu Dun, one of the directors of the five-member group of Xinlian, is one of the founders of the South China Film Association.

In addition, Cantonese filmmakers, because the shooting mode of Cantonese films is extremely loose, they cannot be like the Yonghua Great Wall, and all the member stars can be fixed with contracts, which leads to a high degree of freedom for the actors and directors themselves.

The result of these problems......

Although Xinlian is actually five people, it is more flexible than the Great Wall in terms of personnel mobilization ability.

A large number of progressive Cantonese filmmakers have gathered under the banner of Xinlian and started film creation!

But then ......

This group of progressive filmmakers, proposed an action, but it annoyed a group of people.

What action?

The so-called Lingxing family is also!

What is Ling?

Ling, both Lingren, also known as Youling, refers to entertainers with protruding figures. In ancient Chinese, you and ling both mean actors, and now lingren or lingduo refers to opera actors.

As for the star ......

It's easy to understand, as the name suggests, movie stars!

The meaning of the separation of Lingxing is clear at a glance, that is, the return of your stage to the stage, and the return of my screen to the screen.

Those of you who sing Cantonese opera, don't come to make movies.

Therefore, the direct purpose of this action is to target those bigwigs who sing big dramas.

Compared with the previous 'cleaning operation', Lingxing Split has obviously taken a big step forward in the radicalization of the content.

It's not hard to see why.

First, in the eyes of Cantonese film progressives, the bigwigs were born in the drama pear garden, while most of them themselves were born in the drama stage, and the performance forms of the two are extremely different.

The second is that the drama bosses of this year, who are really big guys, are basically still singing big dramas in the theater, and their popularity is high, so when it comes to filming, there are few punctuality.

For example, the famous Cantonese opera veteran Xin Ma Shizeng, a company invited him to make a film that year, but at ten o'clock in the morning, the whole crew waited on the set for a day, and it was late to see him in the evening.

This made Wu Chufan, the 'South China actor' who had also been waiting on the set all day, angry.

That's right!

South China actor Wu Chufan is also one of the founders of the South China Film Association.

Therefore, taking advantage of the new wind and new atmosphere of Xinlian, this group of progressive filmmakers immediately shouted out the slogan of Lingxing's separation.

It's just that it doesn't matter if you don't shout.

In one fell swoop, I offended all these bigwigs in Xiangjiang!

Lingxing splits up and doesn't let the big guy make movies, isn't this directly cutting off people's money? !

Cutting off people's financial means is like killing parents!

And it's not a small amount of money......

It is indispensable to ask the bigwigs to make a Cantonese opera movie, with a salary of as little as two or three thousand or more than five or six thousand, plus making a Cantonese opera movie, according to the standard of seven days, it will take up four or five days of its time.

Therefore, a popular bigwig can receive six or seven movies in a month, and his monthly income is about 30,000 Hong Kong dollars on average.

What is the standard of 30,000 Hong Kong dollars at this time, we don't need to say more.

It's even more profitable than singing in the theater.

Now that a group of people are saying that they are going to kick them out of the film industry, how can they not make this group of bigwigs angry!

Revenge came immediately......

The first film made by Xinlian, an entrepreneurial work, couldn't find a theater willing to be released in Xiangjiang!

All the theater owners,
