The outgoing Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, told Wang Xiaohu that the British government in Hong Kong intends to regulate the Hong Kong film market and make Hong Kong's film culture climb to a new level. 【Reading.com】

MacLehose also said that since the opening of Hong Kong films, most of them have been in a state of spontaneous and scattered development, and there are many reasons for the current chaos, such as the relative indifference of Hong Kong and British politicians to the film industry, such as the failure to reasonably solve some historical omissions.

However, in the past four years, after Concordia International has shot several films with global influence one after another, the British political axe realized that the film industry is so important, and under the leadership and mediation of Wang Xiaohu, Hong Kong films have formed a considerable scale of development in the mainland, and its momentum has directly trampled on the limelight of this film.

It turned out that movies can not only create good tax revenues, but also intensify cultural exchanges and promotions, and the British political axe suddenly realized, which led to MacLehose's matchmaking and a series of measures to stimulate the domestic film market with Hong Kong films.

But those measures are still in the simple negotiation stage, and who will follow Hollywood's example in tinkering with the Rausch film classification system in Hong Kong?

After listening to MacLehose's explanation, Wang Xiaohu realized that it was really a series of butterfly effects after his rebirth, which made the film classification system that should have been introduced a few years later out early.

Whether Hong Kong adopts the standard Hollywood model classification, or combines Hong Kong's local cultural classification, it will not have much impact on Wang Xiaohu, Concord International, and even its major satellite companies.

After nearly a decade of development, they no longer need to use these gimmicks to attract the audience's attention.

It's all about creating a positive image of Concordia.

Whether it is graded or not, Concord has always been in the most forward-looking field of Hong Kong films.

"I'm afraid that as soon as this grading system comes out, Wang Jing's gang will die of happiness, right?" Wang Xiaohu thought in his heart, you must know that after the introduction of the classification system, the Hong Kong film market is flooded with a large number of tertiary films, among which many of Wang Jing's works are secretly broadcast in video halls in the mainland.

Some people may ask, since the political axe has urged the establishment of a grading system, why are so many third-level films produced, is it possible that the Hong Kong British political axe has allowed these tumors to develop?

In fact, Wang Xiaohu knows that all this is a money-making method made by the Hong Kong British political axe, after grading, it is not that the third-level film cannot be filmed, it is not that it cannot be released, but the film company needs to spend money to buy a certain quota, the larger the scale of the film company, the more satellite companies it has, and the more quotas it can get.

At present, Concord International is the largest film production company in Hong Kong, with five satellite companies, although Wang Xiaohu let it reorganize freely, but in the final analysis, they are still a branch of Concord International.

From an objective point of view, grading will only increase the income of Concordia, and Wang Xiaohu also wishes that the British government in Hong Kong would introduce the relevant system as soon as possible.

"This kind of money can't be moved to the table, go back and discuss with Shen Zhong, and let them register a small-scale film company to shoot this kind of movie."

Wang Xiaohu thought badly, anyway, tertiary films are also an indispensable culture in Hong Kong films, rather than letting the later Yongsheng and Chinese stars shoot it, it is better to cheapen Shen Zhong, this is also to take care of his own people, isn't it?

MacLehose didn't know that Wang Xiaohu's mind had turned several times in just two or three minutes, and when he saw Wang Xiaohu's promise, he raised his glass and said, "Tiger, I hope you can try your best to help Youde after I leave, you are far stronger than them in terms of influence." ”

MacLehose said and said at Li Ka-shing and the others who were surrounding Youde.

Wang Xiaohu smiled, clinked glasses with MacLehose and said, "I don't think Sir Youde will ask me for help for a while." ”

MacLehose frowned slightly when he heard this, and immediately smiled: "In fact, sometimes it is not necessary to do business to engage in political achievements, not to mention that the most important political achievement in front of him is the negotiation between the two countries, and he will be busy at that time." ”

Wang Xiaohu nodded, MacLehose was right, in other words, anyone who encountered Sino-British negotiations during his tenure as governor of Hong Kong would have a headache, Youde obviously knew this, so he just came to Hong Kong and asked MacLehose to invite himself, Li Ka-shing, Bao Yugang and others to the dinner, and his sincere attitude all showed that he did not want to see a fire in the rear during the Sino-British negotiations.

If Wang Xiaohu and others take advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the ground, Youde estimates that he will not be able to do it for a few days in the seat of the governor of Hong Kong.

Not to mention that Li Ka-shing and Pao Yugang have decades of dominance in sales, real estate, shipping and other industries, Wang Xiaohu is the behind-the-scenes ruler of the Hong Kong film industry, and his business is not only limited to Hong Kong.

Of course, Youde can also take iron-fisted measures to dismiss Wang Xiaohu and others, but the result may be quite bad, unless Youde is full of food or his brain is caught by the door, otherwise he will not force the Chinese rich people to the mainland in this sensitive period.

The atmosphere of the dinner was quite harmonious, nothing more than drinking and talking about getting to know each other, saying compliments that made each other more comfortable, and testing each other's tempers, even so it tossed for a full three hours.

Before parting, everyone planned to hold a grand reception banquet for Youde, but Youde excused himself with official work, and promised to invite everyone back when he was free from official business.

Watching Wang Xiaohu and the others leave, Youde sighed for no reason, he patted MacLehose on the shoulder and said, "Man, I really envy you for getting along so well with these Chinese leaders during your stay in Hong Kong. ”

MacLehose said: "The more critical moments like this, the more we should play the warmth card, and if you want to burn three fires, I suggest that you start with Li Ka-shing and them." ”

"Why?" Youde asked, puzzled.

MacLehose smiled: "They are all industrial companies, and many aspects rely on the political axe to go through the formalities, you can get stuck in a certain link without bounds, so they will be sent to the door obediently." ”

"And the movie is completely different. The king has always been a good law-abiding citizen, and the queen has a great deal of affection for him, most importantly "

MacLehose deliberately paused at this point, and the anxious Youde hurriedly asked, "What's more?" ”

"Because you can't control it!" MacLehose shrugged and said, "Remember the integrity storm, right?" ”

Youde nodded, as the incoming governor of Hong Kong, he has long studied the development of Hong Kong in the past ten years, and he has carefully checked the information on almost every major and emergency incident that occurred in Hong Kong.

The integrity storm is the biggest test MacLehose encountered after taking office, the triad and the police colluded with each other to lead to the people's misery, MacLehose set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption to break the deadlock, but this complex situation has been entrenched as early as the former Governor of Hong Kong Alexander Grantham, and the triad is deeply rooted in all aspects.

After the outbreak of the integrity storm, MacLehose quickly suppressed and conducted a thorough investigation, and found that the police who were making trouble were using the shadow of the underworld.

"Tiger. Wang not only has a great influence in the field of film, but in fact, his existence has largely restricted the development of the Hong Kong underworld. MacLehose let out a long breath and said, "I saw through this, so I strongly supported him." ”

"Ahh Youde grew his mouth in surprise, he didn't expect that the owner of a film company would have so much social influence, and even the underworld that had been rampant in Hong Kong for decades was jealous of him

In the car on the way back, Wang Xiaohu said: "Sixth uncle, through your observation, how do you feel about Youde?" ”

Run Run Shaw thought for a moment and said: "I won't be able to see it for a while, but what is certain is that he wants to make a big difference during his tenure as Governor of Hong Kong, and he is very keen on political topics, and he has talked about Hong Kong's belonging on several occasions, and wants to test the rumors of a few of us." ”

There is a fart to try, China and Britain will formally sign the "Joint Declaration" next year at the latest, this is an ironclad thing, even the Iron Lady can't handle it, what big waves can you set off as a Hong Kong governor?

Wang Xiaohu snorted and laughed: "Sixth uncle, Youde is about to introduce a policy on Hong Kong film classification, don't forget to come out and make a profit when the time comes, even if you sell quotas, you can make some money, right?" ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Run Run Shaw pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a wry smile: "Sell quotas? Could it be that the Hong Kong British political axe is going to attack the film and television industry? ”

Wang Xiaohu nodded: "Yes." Now that Hong Kong films are developing rapidly, it's no wonder that Hong Kong and British political axes don't target it, and it will not be easy to do movies in the future! ”

Looking at Wang Xiaohu's long sigh, Run Run Shaw glared again and again for no reason, and scolded with a smile: "I can still believe if others complain, but your complaint is a bit too fake!" ”

"Well, why can't I complain?" Wang Xiaohu said: "I also eat this bowl of rice, right?" ”

"Without the Hong Kong market, you still have the mainland, the capital, and Hollywood!" Run Run Shaw glanced at Wang Xiaohu and said: "I dare to guarantee that if you stand up and say that you have changed your nationality now, a group of countries will pull your throat to woo you, and Yanjing is definitely the loudest voice!" ”

"I won't go to the mainland if I die!" Wang Xiaohu pouted and said: "It's just squatting in Hong Kong, anyway, Hong Kong will be under the control of the mainland sooner or later." ”

Everyone knows that the mainland is full of corrupt officials, stumbling everywhere, although the scenery over there is beautiful, but the beautiful scenery contains all kinds of dirt and dirt, don't look at Wang Xiaohu is now trying to consider the mainland, it is only to get greater bargaining weight before the return, the more in this period, the more we should seek some benefits for the future.
