Chapter 781: The Founding of the State (1)
…
In the donation of the East China flood, the positive performance of Xu Cun and a group of celebrities in Xiangjiang made China see that the same root and the same kind of blood are thicker than water!
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared - "The mainland should be completely open to Hong Kong, at least Hong Kong films." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Naturally, this voice is not Xu Cun's - Xu Cun, who has already obtained the qualification to release movies casually in the mainland, does not need to make such a voice.
As for who made this sound, Xu Cun could guess it with his big toe.
Since the beginning of the 90s, the pattern of the world film market has undergone great changes, and the film market in other cities, excluding DreamWorks Films, has become smaller and smaller.
Prior to this, the foreign film market of Xiangjiang Films, which was divided into DreamWorks Films, was mainly the Nanyang Countries and Taiwan Bend, and occasionally a few films with particularly outstanding box office results could also be distributed to Japan and South Korea.
Since two years ago, Nanyang countries have gradually introduced their own film protection laws - from the earliest Philippines, to Thailand, and then to Indonesia, it is becoming more and more difficult for Xiangjiang films with DreamWorks films to enter the Nanyang Film Market, in just one or two years, Xiangjiang films with DreamWorks films are like losing the Nanyang Film Market, and the Nanyang Film Market, which was previously known as the backyard of Hong Kong films, is now like building a high, strong and thorny wall. If you want to get into the Xiangjiang Movie, which is cut off from DreamWorks Films, it will be more and more difficult!
Although Taiwan has not issued a local film protection bill, it is impossible for Xiangjiang to become an ally with Taiwan because it is getting closer and closer to the mainland, so the easing policies that Taiwan gave to Xiangjiang Films earlier have naturally disappeared, and with the competition between Hollywood movies and DreamWorks films, the situation of Xiangjiang Films, which has excluded DreamWorks Films, is not as good as before.
As for Japan and South Korea, in recent years, more and more Japanese and Korean audiences have been tired of the routine of Xiangjiang movies other than DreamWorks movies, and have instead pursued the special effects and plots of Hollywood movies and DreamWorks movies, so that even Golden Harvest, which has Cheng Long, a superstar with a lot of box office appeal in Japan and South Korea, has not had a movie in Japan and South Korea in recent years that has created glory like before.
Of course!
It's not that Xiangjiang Films, which removed DreamWorks Films, has really embarked on the road of decline like the previous life - after more than ten years of layout and operation, Xu Cun has established a super-large cinema chain covering more than a dozen major film markets around the world, and Xu Cun will give some high-quality Xiangjiang films some places on this super-large cinema line every year, so how can Xiangjiang Films embark on the road of decline like the previous life?
But then again, at present, Xiangjiang Films produces more than 200 films every year, even if you remove the fifteen to twenty films from DreamWorks, there are still nearly 200 films, how can Xu Cun's three or five places every year be able to divide these nearly 200 films?
The most important thing is that these three or five places Xu Cun will generally only invest hundreds of millions of dollars in the joint production of Golden Harvest, New Art City, New Era and DreamWorks, and those movies with an investment of only tens of millions or even only a few million will almost not have the opportunity to be on this super-large theater line, so for those movies with an investment of only tens of millions or even only a few million, having this super-large theater is almost the same as not having this super-large theater line.
Let's look at the mainland.
Unlike in the previous period, when mainland films were not taken seriously because ticket prices were too low, in this life, under the development and cultivation of Xu Cun, the strength and potential of the mainland film market were seen by every Xiangjiang filmmaker -- according to relevant statistics, in the early 80s, the average number of moviegoers per film in the mainland was about 208 million (including the screening teams organized by government agencies and units). By the mid-to-late 80s, due to the nationwide flowering of video halls, the number of moviegoers for each film in the mainland was close to 200 million.
Every movie has 200 million people watching, and even if only one percent of it is converted into the box office, it is enough for the vast majority of Hong Kong movies to make a lot of money, so it is inevitable that those Xiangjiang films that have removed DreamWorks movies want to open up the mainland film market.
Moreover, this is not the wishful thinking of Xiangjiang Films, which has removed DreamWorks Films, and the huge number of state-run cinemas in the mainland also have this urgent expectation after seeing DreamWorks Cinemas make a lot of money!
In addition, these two groups also found a very opportune time.
Therefore, as soon as the voice of "the mainland should be completely open to Hong Kong or at least Xiangjiang films" appeared, it attracted the attention of the central government.

On a trail in Shek O Manor.
Ji Pengfei admired the excellent environment around him with a look of intoxication, and said: "Ah Cun, the people from the Propaganda Department asked me to ask you, what is your attitude towards the mainland's complete openness to Xiangjiang films?" ”
Xu Cun smiled and said, "Oh? What else can I say on this? ”
Ji Pengfei said unequivocally: "Your attitude is very important, I can tell you with certainty, if you are against it, no matter how happy they dance, this matter will definitely not pass!" ”
Xu Cun was surprised: "My attitude is so important? ”
Ji Pengfei said: "We are not stupid, we know who our true friends are." ”
Hearing Ji Pengfei's words, Xu Cun pondered for a while, and then said: "I have no objection to the mainland being completely open to Xiangjiang films, which should be a good thing for both sides, not only to give Xiangjiang films a chance not to decline, but also to help Xiangjiang completely return to the embrace of China." ”
After listening to Xu Cun's answer, and looking at Xu Cun's unreluctance expression, Ji Pengfei said with a relieved face: "Deng Gongzhen didn't misunderstand you, you really have your heart for the motherland and the party, otherwise you will never be able to give up the interests that belong to you alone!" ”
Xu Cun smiled noncommittally - neither did he accept the high hat that Ji Pengfei had buckled for him, nor did he deny that he was patriotic and patriotic to the party.
Seeing that Xu Cun didn't pick up his high hat, Ji Pengfei said quietly: "Your environment here is so good, you can live here for at least ten more years!" ”
Xu Cun smiled and said, "If you like it, Old Ji, I'll build you a hut here." ”
Ji Pengfei said with a wry smile: "I really want to retire with you, but it's a pity...... I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity in my life! ”
From the time of Premier Zhou to the present, Ji Pengfei has been assisting Premier Zhou and Duke Deng in handling foreign affairs, there are too many diplomatic things that Ji Pengfei has to do, how can he retire to retire, even if he is eighty years old this year.
Xu Cun was clear about Ji Pengfei's importance in diplomacy, so Xu Cun said: "When you're not busy, you can come to stay with me for two days, it should be no problem, right?" ”
Ji Pengfei smiled: "I have received your wishes, as long as you can always support my work, it is better than anything else." ”
Xu Cun deliberately said with a bitter face: "Old Ji, don't I still support your old work?" ”
Ji Pengfei put away his smile, and then looked at Xu Cun with a solemn expression: "What I said is all the time...... You're about to build a country, can you still support my work as much as you did before? ”
