Chapter 712: Hong Kong Island Movie

"It's got to be South Africa!" "South Africa has always been the world's largest exporter of gold and diamonds, and to put it mildly, as long as South Africa's gold mines stop working, gold futures will definitely skyrocket, and I'm now preparing to take advantage of the chaos in South Africa to get a little bit more gold ore sources, what do you think of that idea?" ”

"Hehe, you've heard of Nelson? Roli Herrahla? Mandela: This person doesn't have one? Lin Yu asked with a smile.

Nelson? Roli Herrahla? Nelson Mandela is a world-renowned Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

The ANC, which he leads, has played an extremely important role in the fight to end racism in South Africa. The birth of the new South Africa in April 1994 marked the successful completion of the political liberation mission of the African continent against imperialism, colonialism and apartheid, and entered the glorious annals of human history and civilization. In 1993, Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize together with then-white President de Klerk.

Known as the "President of the World": Even while in prison, Mandela has repeatedly been in the global spotlight. His appeal and influence spread all over the world. In 1981, more than 10,000 French people jointly sent a petition to the South African embassy in France, demanding the release of Mandela; In 1982, 2,000 mayors from 53 countries around the world signed a petition for Mandela's release. 1983 year. Seventy-eight British parliamentarians issued a joint statement, and the mayors of more than 50 cities marched in London to demand that the British prime minister put pressure on South Africa to restore Mandela's freedom. With such popularity unmatched, it's no wonder that some people call Mandela the "president of the world".

He was the national secretary and president of the ANC Youth Alliance. Member of the ANC Executive Committee, Chairman of the Transvaal Province and National Vice President. He successfully organized and led the "Contempt for Injustice Decree Movement" and won the respect of all blacks. He was President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.

"A familiar name, what's it for?" Add couldn't figure out what this man was doing.

"You remember, your idea is good, I'm total. But I command you to be sure to get Nelson? Roli Herrahla? Mandela's trust, if he asks for money, we will pay, in short, it is absolutely right to have a good relationship with him! Lin Yu smiled all over his face.

"Oh, I made a note of it. The rest is fine! After Eddie finished speaking, he looked at Lao Huang and stopped squeaking.

"You remember, your idea is good, I'm total. But I command you to be sure to get Nelson? Roli Herrahla? Mandela is the absolute trust of this person, he wants money, we will pay. In short, it's absolutely right to have a good relationship with him! Lin Yu smiled all over his face.

"Oh. I made a note of it, and then the rest is fine! After Eddie finished speaking, he looked at Lao Huang and stopped squeaking.

"Okay, Lao Huang, just say what you have!" Lin Yu looked at Lao Huang's heavy face, and motioned for him to speak.

"You've finished making a movie in the United States, what do you think is the difference between our Hong Kong Island and Hollywood?" Lao Huang's face was serious.

"The difference? The difference is a lot! Lin Yu said, "They also implement the producer system, everything is decided by the investment boss, who you want to invite, and the director is only responsible for filming, and it becomes a ......"

"What else?" Lao Huang still didn't smile.

"And? There is also the fact that they basically don't need to recruit extras there, Hollywood lives with a lot of extras, and countless people will participate in the shouting, and they can shoot any type of movie. Whether it's a war film, or a feature film. Lin Yu remembers this most clearly, because he remembered that when he was filming "Crazy Boy", it took several days to find these extras alone.

"So, what do you think of the actors themselves?" Lao Huang saw that what Lin Yu said was not the point he wanted to express, so he had to remind him.

"The quality of the actors is quite high, and it seems that they are basically college students majoring in major films!" Lin Yu touched his hair and said, "Why are you asking this?" The acting skills of our Hong Kong Island filmmakers are very good. ”

"The acting skills are good, but you look at these people with good acting skills, who hasn't accumulated them little by little?" Lao Huang said heavily, "I haven't felt it before, but since you issued an order that our company should release 30 excellent movies every year, all the problems have come out." ”

"What's the problem? Not enough money or not enough manpower? "Lin Yu can't even think about it! Money, Hong Kong Island movies are not lacking at all now, manpower? There are tens of thousands of people in the Hong Kong Island film industry who rely on movies to eat. So what's the problem?

"If you're short of money, it's easy to do!" Lao Huang smiled bitterly, "Don't you know, since you started to implement the strategy of high salaries for celebrities, the level of Hong Kong Island filmmakers has suddenly appeared, which is as weird as a pyramid." ”

Sighing, Lao Huang continued: "You say, what if the salary of an actor accounts for one-third of the budget of the entire movie? ”

"Hehe, of course I've thought about this a long time ago!" Lin Yu patted Lao Huang's shoulder and said, "Master, master, this is what you don't understand, you go to Hollywood to see, which of those first-line stars is not worth millions of dollars?" And the most valuable of our Hong Kong Island filmmakers seems to be only Fa Ge, Jackie Chan and Sister Xia? Not to mention anything else, Fa Ge, Sister Xia, and Jackie Chan are barely $8 or 900,000, which looks okay at first glance compared to Hollywood, but what about before last year? Hehe, the highest is only 500,000, who wants to stay on Hong Kong Island with such a small amount of money? The good actors are gone, the good directors have no hope, they also followed, and then those good logistics personnel are also looking forward to going to Hollywood to pan for gold, so what else is there to do with Hong Kong Island movies?
