People's hearts are moving, and interests are entangled!

This is the reason given by Liu Weiqiang, but Su Da has nothing to say, because what Su Da has done has indeed infringed on the interests of some people, especially the Xiangjiang employees who were replaced by Su Da with behind-the-scenes employees in the mainland, which is the source of this gossip.

However, whether there is anyone behind the scenes, Liu Weiqiang is not clear, after all, his ability can only be investigated here, mainly because these people who were replaced by Su Da are dissatisfied, through some friends who are still in the crew, taking advantage of the moment when the Xiangjiang media is hacking Fan Binbin, they released some unbearable rumors to hit Fan Binbin, who let Fan Binbin be Su Da's daughter, we can't get Su Da, we can only get you, this is what these people think.

Su Da is also very helpless, this is a knot that cannot be opened, but Su Da must do something, no matter whether there is someone behind this matter to push it, this group of rumors, Su Da must fight back fiercely, otherwise this group of Xiangjiang people really think he is easy to bully, in the first part of "Infernal Affairs", Su Da has accumulated fire in his heart, even if "Infernal Affairs" is a big success, it cannot eliminate the fire in Su Da's heart, but it is only temporarily suppressed.

This time, the people of Xiangjiang came to this set again, really when the local people are easy to bully or what? actually pointed the finger at Fan Binbin, Su Da didn't know if he didn't investigate, he was shocked when he investigated, this group of things without a tutor dared to come out with any ugly words.

"I'll face you this time, but, Director Liu, I don't want to see something like this happen in the crew again, don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes. Get out of here, who is missing from this world, it will still turn! This is Su Da's confidence, because he no longer needs to look at Liu Weiqiang's face, let alone worry about Liu Weiqiang not doing it halfway, with the fame of "Infernal Affairs". There are a large number of directors for Suda to choose from.

"I see, I'll deal with it right away!" Cold sweat had already appeared on Liu Weiqiang's forehead, and for the first time, he clearly recognized that Su Da was no longer the Su Da who swallowed his anger and finally compromised with them when they met for the first time. "I promise there won't be such a problem in the future!"

"Well, you can continue filming, leave me alone, let me be quiet for a while!"

Why did Su Da let Liu Weiqiang go. is because the movie still needs Liu Weiqiang to shoot, although Su Da shouted to find a director, and a large number of people came to the door, but the understanding of "Infernal Affairs", it is estimated that no one can compare with Liu Weiqiang, not to mention, although he has a certain responsibility for this incident. But it was just not decisive enough, after all, those people were his old subordinates. It is impossible for Liu Weiqiang to break the hearts of his subordinates for Fan Binbin.

What's more important is that Xiangjiang people like Liu Weiqiang, who are in the crew, didn't take advantage of this turmoil to give Su Da a little color, in the final analysis, this group of Xiangjiang filmmakers has been spoiled by the mainland's treatment of Xiangjiang co-productions in the early years!

29th of last month. The Central Government of the People's Republic of China and the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) signed the Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement, which contains provisions on films: the distribution of pure Hong Kong films in the Mainland will no longer be subject to quotas; A co-production between Hong Kong and the Mainland can be regarded as a domestic film and distributed in the Mainland; Co-productions are allowed to increase the proportion of Hong Kong actors, provided that the proportion of the main actors in the mainland must not be less than one-half of the total number of main actors in the film; The story is not limited to taking place in Chinese mainland, but the plot or main characters must be related to the mainland and so on!

But what did Suda do? The staff behind the scenes directly asked for a share without saying anything. also occupies half of the important positions in the crew, the actor is a heroine, four important supporting actors, and a number of small supporting roles, but their Xiangjiang actors only occupy one-part, among which Fan Binbin plays the heroine, and there are many insiders, why can she be the heroine, she is not a good godfather, in addition to envy and hatred, she is also more and more dissatisfied with Su Da.

In the final analysis, it is the introduction of new regulations for co-productions, which makes many Xiangjiang people in the crew of "Infernal Affairs" dissatisfied, after all, Suda not only encroached on their interests, but even deprived them of their freedom, because "Infernal Affairs 2" is different from "Infernal Affairs 1", this time Suda directly filmed four producers, and the flow of funds must be approved by them to ensure that the production cost will not be overrun in "Infernal Affairs 1".

As. Level. The piece is often used as a color by everyone. Synonymous with romance films, when it comes to co-productions, we are often reminded of the co-production between Hong Kong and the Mainland. Although this is far from the case, it shows from another angle that the absolute proportion of Hong Kong co-productions in mainland China (almost every year is above 70%).

For Hong Kong Films, with the recent loss of the treasure island and Southeast Asian markets, the mainland has become the most important buyer's market. However, since the best way for Hong Kong-made films to enter the mainland is still co-production, although the mainland has formulated many preferential and incentive policies, the corresponding censorship has become more and more stringent, which has caused a big headache for the Hong Kong side.

Therefore, there is a similar cooperation with powerful film companies in the mainland, but in terms of filming, it is still the people of Xiangjiang who have the final say, and even in terms of roles, the male Hong Kong star and female Lu star pursued, almost all important roles are basically not mainland stars, and then the directors are basically from Hong Kong, and the mainland is basically a contribution point investment plus an actress, that is to say, the actual operation part of the co-production is completed by Xiangjiang!

Why does the mainland have so little initiative? Is it true that technology is so scarce in the mainland except for a few stinky money, or is this model just an opportunity for Heung Kong Film to explore the mainland market, because cooperating with the mainland will make it more reasonable for films to enter the mainland market?

No, but at that time, the people of Xiangjiang have always regarded themselves as superior to others and cooperated with mainland film companies, either you accept my request, or you don't ask me to make movies, anyway, you don't lack your money, this is their state, even if the film industry in Xiangjiang is sluggish now, but the arrogance of Xiangjiang people in this regard has never disappeared.

In fact, all of this is spoiled by our country!

If you trace back to the co-production between Hong Kong Film and our mainland films, many people may start with . After the revolution, the fact is that as early as 1964, Xiangjiang Phoenix Film Company went to the mainland to shoot the martial arts film "Golden Eagle". At that time, Xiangjiang left. The film company 'Changfeng Xin' (i.e. the Great Wall Phoenix Xinlian) was sent to cooperate with the mainland for political unification and economic cooperation. It also has financial support from the mainland, and the relationship is quite close. It's a pity that it didn't take long to suffer. Leather shock, one stopped filmmaking until four. Person. After the collapse of the gang, the relevant policies in the mainland gradually began to be relaxed, so that the left side of the production business was restored. The company will then cooperate with the mainland to make films.

At that time, the reason why Heung Kong frequently cooperated with the mainland to make films. In fact, it is mainly due to the need to broaden the content of local film themes, and what interests them the most is naturally the precious objects and beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers that have just opened up in the mainland. For example, in 1981, Zhang Xinyan's "Shaolin Temple" (produced by Zhongyuan Film Company) was produced in the real river. In 1982, Xu Anhua's "Running to the Angry Sea" (produced by Jade Bird Film Company) originally told the story of Vietnam, but because the conditions did not allow it, it was changed to the sea with a similar scenery and climate to Vietnam. Filmed in the South Island and strongly supported by the mainland government.

In particular, "Shaolin Temple" swept Hong Kong and the mainland at the same time, setting off an astonishing box office receipt, and successfully set off a boom in the following years when Hong Kong went to the mainland to shoot costume-themed kung fu films.

With the success of the films co-produced by the Hong Kong Left Company and the mainland. Naturally, many non-leftist Hong Kong filmmakers are ready to move. In 1983, as the first non-leftist company filmmaker to return to the mainland to make films, the famous director Li Hanxiang formed the New Kunlun Film Company and co-produced the historical and legendary films "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to the Government" with the mainland showing the development of Cixi and the invasion of China by the British and French forces.

For this reason, Li Hanxiang suffered heavy political pressure, but out of homesickness and the ambition to go to the Yanjing Forbidden City to shoot Qing court historical films in his lifetime, coupled with the strong support of the Chinese government, he finally withstood the pressure and shifted the focus of his career to the mainland, and successively directed a number of legendary Qing court films.

And the Chinese government has also opened the door to convenience. The opening of places of interest such as the Forbidden City and many precious objects for filming, makes Li Hanxiang's films have a magnificent historical atmosphere and a sense of realism. It is precisely because of this that the series "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" has been widely welcomed in both Hong Kong and the mainland, and has achieved huge economic benefits.

The successes of "Shaolin Temple" and "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" have made the Hong Kong film industry realize the huge potential of the mainland market and filming resources. After that, many Hong Kong production companies and filmmakers, regardless of their positions, flocked to the mainland to engage in co-production.

Although most of their purposes are to pan for gold and make profits. However, from the other side, it has promoted the emergence of a situation in which mainland screen flowers are blooming, and many co-productions have filled the gap in mainland film creation. For example, the Shaolin kung fu film boom driven by "Shaolin Temple", and the follow-up works "Shaolin Small", "North and South Shaolin", "Shaolin Temple Lay Brothers", "Kapok Jiajiao" and "Eight Arhats" have all caused a sensation and achieved box office success.

Meantime. Films such as "Crossing the River Dragon", "Shanghai 1937" and "Xi'an Killing", which were filmed by Zhang Che, a master of violent action, also had a great influence on mainland action films in the late 80s and early 90s.

Although action and kung fu themes are the undisputed mainstream of co-productions, we cannot ignore the local art films co-produced by director Yan Hao and the mainland.

When Heung Kong engaged in co-productions, it not only valued the material resources of the mainland, but also paid more attention to discovering and employing mainland talents. It seems that when Xiangjiang Zhongyuan Film Co., Ltd. filmed "Shaolin Temple", the cast all used mainland martial arts team members and opera actors, and excavated a group of kung fu film masters such as Li Lianjie, Yu Chenghui, Hu Jianqiang, Ji Chunhao, etc.

However, with the increasing prosperity of co-productions, many problems have also been exposed. The most typical example is the reluctance of mainland film studios to forge ahead, and the state set up a co-production system in the hope of raising the production level of mainland films through cooperation with Hong Kong, but many mainland units engaged in co-production actually only sold the factory bids to Xiangjiang film companies, and did not participate in the actual operation process of the film at all.

After spending 120,000 yuan on the mainland factory logo, Hong Kong can independently shoot and distribute it in two places as a co-production, but these fake co-productions are often produced in a hurry for quick success, which is unbearable. By the mid-90s, although the popular martial arts films on both sides of the strait died down due to rampant behavior, fake co-productions were still common.

In view of this, the Mainland Film Bureau issued a special document in 1996 to stipulate that in addition to the directors, screenwriters and photographers of co-produced films, the number of residents in China who play the main roles should generally not be less than 50%. If the proportion is exceeded due to the special needs of the subject role, the production unit must report to the Film Bureau for approval, and the Film Censorship Committee will not accept the film without approval.

It's a pity that although the piece was issued layer by layer, it was not really implemented, and the co-production film was naturally chaotic and still no improvement, how should the filmmakers in Xiangjiang co-produce, how should they still co-produce, and even the treatment of Xiangjiang people and mainlanders alone has caused conflicts more than once, and often caused uproar.

Not to mention, let's take the crew of "Infernal Affairs" as an example, the makeup artists in the same crew, the salary of the makeup artist in Xiangjiang is five times that of the makeup artist in the mainland, and even the salary of some photographers and assistant directors is even more exaggerated, which is several times higher than that of the employees from the mainland.
