The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has made a new definition of Xiangjiang films. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hong Kong films refer to Chinese-language films produced by production units established or established in accordance with the relevant regulations of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and which own more than 75% of the film copyrights.

More than 50 per cent of the total number of employees in the main staff group of the film should be Hong Kong residents.

Among them, the film co-produced by the mainland and Hong Kong is explained.

In a film co-produced by the two parties, the place where the story takes place may not be restricted, but the storyline or main characters must be related to the Mainland, and the proportion of the main actors in the mainland shall not be less than one-third of the total number of main actors in the film, and the other main creative personnel may not be subject to the proportion restriction.

Infernal Affairs is the best example of this administrative rule that is being debated.

As a co-production between the mainland and Hong Kong Film Company, Chen Daoming's role in the third part is a storyline related to the mainland, without which the requirements of a co-production are not met.

Moreover, Chen Daoming and Huang Bo starred in the role, accounting for one-third of the main actors.

In other words, if Hong Kong filmmakers want to use mainland funds to film, they must use mainland actors as the leading actors, not all Hong Kong actors, and the story must also be related to the mainland.

Such a stipulation allows the creative direction of Hong Kong filmmakers to be closely linked with the mainland and incorporated into the same framework.

On the one hand, it deepens the cooperation between Hong Kong filmmakers and the mainland, and on the other hand, it gradually affects the pattern of Hong Kong films.

Depending on the position, the angle from which the problem is seen is also different.

The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television hopes to strengthen the management of Xiangjiang films, but it does not want Xiangjiang films to decline like this, after all, it is the Hollywood of the East and has a certain influence in the international film industry.

But Xiangjiang Film has its own system, with a complete rating system, which is not easy to manage.

The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) started with co-productions, and gradually changed the way Hong Kong filmmakers operated.

It's a subtle process.

When the filmmakers in Hong Kong are familiar with the operation mode of the mainland, they will bring this habit back to the Hong Kong film industry, thus affecting the local film industry in Hong Kong.

There will be fewer and fewer illegal releases like Zhou Xingzhi's "Shaolin Football".

This phase of running in with each other can take years, or even more than a decade.

Those Hong Kong filmmakers who are unable to adapt, or unwilling to adapt to the mainland model, will be eliminated and will find their own way out.

In the face of the Hong Kong filmmakers who are going north to pan for gold, mainland film companies are welcome, and these people have the ability and technology to improve the quality of domestic films.

Especially in the field of commercial films, Heung Kong filmmakers have mature experience.

The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is responsible for formulating policies, and the specific cooperation is still to be done by the following film and television companies.

This is the exchange and collision between the Beijing circle and the Hong Kong circle.

There is no shortage of funds in the mainland's film market, but the money is not so easy to get, Lin Zixuan, as the leader of the Beijing circle, welcomes real collaborators, but he will not be polite to those gold diggers who eat together.

This is his attitude, and it is also the attitude of the Beijing circle.

"It's really this time and that time, I want us to go to Xiangjiang to invest in the past, and now they want to come to us to find funds, it doesn't matter if they use them, I'm worried that they won't be able to adapt to the mainland market, and now Hong Kong films are not popular. Someone sighed.

"Why aren't Hong Kong films popular, and "Infernal Affairs" is not a box office hit?" others disagreed, "The appeal of Xiangjiang stars is still there, and the audience recognizes their faces, as long as they find a few Xiangjiang stars, the script is passable, and it is not a problem to recover the investment." ”

"It's a good thing to say, the salary of the big stars in Xiangjiang is so high, the production cost is tens of millions, and the risk is too great, so it's better to find second- and third-tier stars, as long as the face is familiar. Someone suggested.

Lin Zixuan listened to the discussion, and everyone had different opinions on Xiangjiang filmmakers.

Some people value directors, some value stars, and some feel that they can't adapt to the censorship environment in the mainland.

"Mr. Lin, is Haomeng buying the online screening copyright of film and television dramas? Is this copyright really going to work?" Wang Zhongjun did not participate in the discussion, but asked this question.

Hearing this, the discussion paused.

It is no secret that Good Dream Company acquired the copyright of online screening, and it has connections with various film and television companies, but everyone has no intuitive concept of this copyright.

"I think that now that the Internet is developing rapidly, the number of netizens is surging, and so many people are chatting online, playing games, and watching the news, then watching movies and television dramas may also become a trend. Lin Zixuan responded, "As for whether there is a head, I should know in a few years." ”

Lin Zixuan did not hide it and said his judgment.

The Internet wave has spawned a number of wealthy people, but it has also ruined countless investors, and this emerging industry is really a success, and the competition is particularly fierce.

Taking Penguin as an example, there were more than a dozen companies in China that did instant messaging, but now they are all quiet.

The CEOs here are familiar with the film and television industry and do not have a deep understanding of the Internet.

Good Dream Company is not making smooth progress in acquiring the copyright of online screening, and Lin Zixuan understands the problem.

Although the CEOs of film and television companies can't see the future development trend of online video, it doesn't prevent them from thinking that this copyright is valuable, either planning to increase the price, or trying to figure out the doorway.

Lin Zixuan didn't plan to get the online copyright of all film and television dramas, which is not realistic.

In response to this situation, he has formulated several acquisition plans, the price of classic film and television dramas that are popular with the audience can be increased, and those film and television dramas that are not well-known can be lowered as much as possible.

Movies need at least fifteen years of copyright, and TV series need twenty years of copyright, which is the bottom line.

Twenty years later, the film and television resources on the Internet are extremely rich, and the audience has to chase so many new dramas every day, as well as foreign film and television dramas, where can they find time to watch old films.

"Mr. Lin is really taking precautions, I don't know much about these new technologies, as long as the price is right, who is it sold to, don't you say?" someone supported.

Wang Zhongjun has seriously thought about this project, he studied in the United States, and he has a comprehensive view of the problem.

"How to solve piracy?" Wang Zhongjun wondered, "We spent money to get the copyright, and pirate websites can still upload resources without spending money, and even their resources are more abundant than ours, and bad money drives out good money, so it can't be done." ”

"There's really no good way to do this, and it's the same in the film industry. We can't make money because of piracy, let's do piracy, we must cultivate the audience's awareness of entering the cinema and increase the intensity of anti-piracy. Let's shoot a few anti-piracy commercials? Solicit ideas from the society and expand our influence. Lin Zixuan proposed.

"This is feasible, working with the media, holding a contest or something. Someone agreed.

On the issue of anti-piracy, the attitude of all the CEOs present is extremely consistent.

Wang Zhongjun thought about it and felt that the matter of online copyright was not very reliable, and if piracy was not solved, there would be no copyright, and the possibility of making a profit was not very likely, so he no longer cared about it.
