Zhang Shaojie and Zhang Yimou's exchange of movies is quite speculative.

Through Zhang Yimou's mouth, you can learn more about the current situation of the domestic film industry. Combined with future information, Zhang Shaojie can easily judge the current situation in the domestic film market.

Just like Hong Kong movies - opportunities and dangers coexist!

In the 80s, China's film market basically exceeded 1.5 billion yuan, and the annual box office at its peak was more than 3 billion, which was still a huge number accumulated when the ticket price was only a few cents.

In this era, the average number of times people watch movies per capita is 30 times a year!

By 2010, China's box office reached 10 billion yuan. However, at that time, the ticket price was tens of yuan or hundreds of yuan, and the average person watched the movie less than 0.2 times a year!

Of course, this is not entirely to blame for the incompetence of domestic filmmakers. In fact, in the next 30 years, the domestic film production capacity has made great progress, but there are too many factors that will impact the film market, resulting in the scale of the film market not expanding, or even shrinking.

One is the popularity of television, and watching TV programs is cheaper and more convenient than watching movies, which has led to a large loss of movie audiences.

Second, the inflation factor has caused movie ticket prices to rise year after year, which further makes people reluctant to enter the cinema.

Third, in the era of market-oriented economy, a large number of movie theaters closed down because of losses, and the number of movie theaters was less than one-tenth of that in the early 80s.

Of course, piracy is also a factor that cannot be ignored. In the 90s, with the popularization of video recorders, VCDs and other equipment, pirated video tapes and CDs were frantically proliferated, and a huge number of pirated movie videos made the business of movie theaters bleak. When it comes to the Internet, the vast majority of moviegoers have never even entered the habit of going to the cinema, but watch movies by downloading pirated resources.

In the 80s, although audiences went to the cinema quite often.

However, this is only the golden age of cinemas, and the domestic film production industry is still not optimistic in this era.

There are fewer domestic films in cinemas and more imported films; There are few new films and many old films

and a series of other problems, all of which are the status quo of the domestic film industry that needs to be changed urgently at this stage.

At present, the domestic film market, Soviet films, Eastern European films, and even North Korean films can attract a large number of audiences to watch.

Not to mention, Hong Kong movies, European movies, and American movies

Every Hong Kong-made film and American film has achieved a box office of several million yuan in China, and a box office of tens of millions of yuan.

The frightened domestic film department shouted the flood of films in capitalist countries

Of course, people in the domestic film industry realize that not introducing overseas films at all will close domestic films, and it will be a backwater.

If the market is completely opened, with the market competitiveness of domestic films at this time, it will not be able to compete with the blockbusters of overseas mature film markets.

Therefore, the domestic film industry has made a more prudent decision - to import overseas films, but to limit the number of imported films.

Only a dozen overseas film imports are approved every year, and it will not set off the entire market!

After arriving at the hotel.

Zhang Yimou asked the team leader Ba Jin, Ai Qing and other domestic official leaders for instructions, and approved Zhang Yimou and Zhang Shaojie to worship the handle.

In fact, this time, the purpose of going to Hong Kong is to communicate and make friends!

Zhang Shaojie in Hong Kong and Taiwan has a huge readership! The sound he makes with his pen can also affect a large number of people in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Therefore, he is a Hong Kong literati worth fighting for!

Zhang Shaojie worships his son, and he also needs to consider Jin Yong's attitude, Jin Yong is his teacher.

However, Jin Yong is very fond of Zhang Shaojie. In addition, Jin Yong now has frequent contacts with the mainland cultural circle, and he has also been invited to visit Yanjing in the mainland next year!

Jin Yong's political position is obviously very clear!

Throughout his life, Jin Yong has not been very fond of politicians in Taiwan, and he has always been close to the mainland. However, during the special period, he was greatly disappointed and constantly criticized the voice, so he was considered a rightist literati.

Now, as long as Jin Yong goes to the mainland, most of them will be considered a "leftist literati" by some people again!

Witnessed by Jin Yong and Yishu.

Zhang Shaojie and Zhang Yimou drank blood wine and said.

"I'm Zhang Shaojie."

"I'm Zhang Yimou."

"The two of us swore an oath in front of the elders, and now we are brothers!"

"From now on, we will share blessings and difficulties, take care of each other, and help each other. If there is a violation, five thunders will hit the top, and heaven and man will abandon it! ”

After that, the two drank and shook hands!

It's hard to suppress the excitement!

Mainland cultural exchange delegations come to Hong Kong for the purpose of cultural exchange and to establish the image of the domestic cultural community.

Of course, I also brought a lot of cultural artworks that I could get my hands on.

Among so many mainland figures, the most popular, the most high-profile, and the most concerned is the poet Ai Qing!

On May 15, Ai Qing held a poetry recital, reciting his modern poem "I Love This Land" written during the Anti-Japanese War in front of thousands of Hong Kong literary and art figures, celebrities, and Hong Kong citizens.

In the desolate and deep passion, the recitation sounded:

"Suppose / I were a bird,

I should also / sing / with a hoarse throat:

This storm/struck / land,

This eternal river of sorrow and indignation,

This endlessly/blowing/angry/wind,

And the / incomparably gentle / dawn from the woods......

And then / I died,

Even the feathers / rotted in the earth.

Why / often tears in my eyes?

Because I / love this land / so much......"

Ai Qing's "I Love This Land", written in 1938, was popular all over the country soon after it was written.

Regardless of whether you understand poetry or not, it is crazy to circulate!

At that time, people drew from this poem the passion of fighting courage to resist the invasion of the Japanese invaders!

At that time, patriots were also human beings, and they were also afraid of death. However, when they listened to Comrade Ai Qing's "I Love This Land" and thought that they could sacrifice themselves to save the motherland, they rushed forward one after another to the enemy's guns and artillery fire

This poem has not only won the popularity of Chinese intellectuals and patriotic youth!

In the world, it has established a good image for China!

Ai Qing is known for his patriotic poetry, and not only Chinese respect him.

Europeans, Americans, and all those who love their own nation will applaud Ai Qing when they listen to his poetry!

Jin Yong, Bao Yugang, Li Ka-shing, and other older generations stood up, tears in their eyes

Zhang Shaojie, Yishu, Zhang Yimou and other young people stood up, and their emotions were also very excited

The Hong Kong governor of the Hong Kong authorities, as well as British officials, also stood up and applauded Ai Qing!

Thousands of people applauded enthusiastically throughout the scene!

A patriotic poet with an iron backbone, a poet who never hides his position, even his enemies, will applaud him
