In an ultra-luxurious VIP room, not only the Governor of Hong Kong, Youde, but also the helmsmen of the three major film companies, namely Golden Harvest boss Zou Wenhuai, the behind-the-scenes boss of New Arts City Lei Juekun, and the Shaw Brothers spokesperson Sixth Aunt Fang Yihua; In addition, Chen Xiaotang also met the previous Debao Pan Disheng, Yongsheng Xiang Huasheng, and Wu Siyuan, chairman of the Film Association. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It can be said that with the addition of Chen Xiaotang, who represents Magic Shadow Entertainment, the bigwigs and elites of the entire Hong Kong film industry gathered together at this moment.

Chen Xiaotang and the others all smiled and nodded, and sat down next to Pan Disheng.

Seeing that they were all coming, Hong Kong Governor Youde smiled: "Dear friends, it is rare for you to gather together today, and on behalf of the British Government of Hong Kong, I would like to thank you for your contribution to Hong Kong's entertainment and culture; However, nowadays, Hong Kong films are uneven and complex, so I have set up a proposal ......"

Sir Youde didn't finish his words, but glanced at the director of the film and television department beside him, only to see the director stand up very respectfully, cough and say: "The Governor's proposal is to strengthen the government's management of the film industry!" ”

As soon as these words came out, it can be said that one stone stirred up a thousand waves!

Why does the government want to strengthen the management of the film and television industry?!

Could it be that the newly established film association has played a counterproductive role?!

Everyone looked at each other, but did not ask.

The director continued: "Actually, this decision was made a long time ago, and for this reason, when our film and television department audited the accounts some time ago, it also deliberately closed down some speculative companies; In short, in view of the current number of violent films and films, the Governor of Hong Kong has made a decision after consulting with our film and television department. Of course, this decision still needs everyone's support, so while everyone is here now, let's exchange opinions with a few people first! ”

Movie Classification System? The first thought that flashed through Chen Xiaotang's mind was this. Now, he thought, it was time for a grading system. Otherwise, it is difficult to regulate the shots and violent scenes in the movie.

He was happy that he was now among them, which was certainly a cause of luck, but it also proved that the industry was gradually recognizing the potential of the Shadow Company. I don't dare to say that I have the strength to compete with the three giants, but I definitely have this potential.

This is one thing that Chen Xiaotang is very happy about, it is not difficult to make a good film, but it is difficult to get the recognition of the industry.

Chen Xiaotang is arrogant, he himself is currently recognized as a film elite in Hong Kong. The king of the drama kings. Backed by his own script and acting skills, no one dares to ignore the potential of the Shadow Company.

And Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, Zhou Yanfa, Zhang Guirong, as well as Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong and other celebrities have a good relationship with Chen Xiaotang. This is also well known, otherwise everyone would not have made cameos in each other's new plays. For example, Chen Xiaotang once made a cameo appearance in Cheng Long's "Food Truck", and Zhou Yunfa almost filmed "God of Gamblers" produced by Magic Shadow.

Most importantly. The first film from the Magic Shadow Company broke the box office record in Hong Kong's history, and the second film "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier" that has just been filmed is being screened, judging from the current situation. It is an excellent work both at the box office and in terms of word-of-mouth, especially the newcomer Zhou Xingchi under the Magic Shadow, which gives people a bright feeling, as long as they are a little insightful, they can guess that the future Magic Shadow will be stronger and stronger than now. Even if there are still people who doubt the Shadow. I'm afraid there aren't many. Xinyicheng started a business with a "Funny Times" that was not particularly outstanding at the box office, and then quickly became one of the three giants.

Seeing that the director had almost said what he wanted to say, Hong Kong Governor Youde stood up brightly and said confidently: "My decision is to let the Film and Television Department prepare to come up with a rating system, and I believe it will be officially launched in a month at most!" ”

Hong Kong Governor Youde inspected for a week, and finally stopped his eyes on the three giants: "I don't know what everyone's opinion is?" ”

The meaning of the words is to solicit opinions, but the tone is unquestionable, and it is clear that the British government in Hong Kong believes that the introduction of this classification system is imperative.

Jiahe boss Zou Wenhuai smoked a big cigar and didn't say anything, Lei Juekun of Xinyi City still had an indifferent expression, while the sixth aunt Fang Yihua was pondering.

As for Pan Disheng and Xiang Huasheng, as juniors, they also know how to restrain and hide clumsiness, after all, this matter is very important, and it is definitely not the time to be in the limelight. That Wu Siyuan Wu boss was eager to try to make a statement, but when he saw that everyone was "standing still", he was cunning in his bones, and immediately noticed that the taste was wrong, and according to his patience, he made a contemplative and meditative look, pounced on you with a watermelon, and almost became a bird!

Hong Kong Governor Youde was very depressed, originally thought that he would get a response from the big guy immediately if he made such a suggestion, but looking at the current situation, he didn't seem to buy it, and this kind of scene made him very faceless and embarrassed.

In fact, as soon as the movie classification system comes out, it will inevitably affect the box office income of Hong Kong movies, which is like a brothel in a green house that opens its doors to do business~ Courtyard, at the beginning, anyone can enter as long as they have money, but with the prohibition of entering under the age of 18 hanging at the door, more than half of the financial resources will be lost immediately, how can you make the movie happy, and how can you agree with you? !

And the Governor of Hong Kong, who hung out the "Chastity Archway" in the brothel ~ house, how could he be welcomed by the big guys? !

But just when everyone was silent, a very discordant voice suddenly said: "This proposal is good, I have no opinion!" ”

Everyone was surprised, looking at it, who is Chen Xiaotang who is not Magic Shadow Entertainment? !

But seeing Chen Xiaotang showing a weird smile, he said lightly: "Bosses, I know what you guys are thinking." There is no restriction on the classification system, which will definitely make many films more box office. However, because of the same scale, we can more accurately grasp the audience we need to target. The most important thing is that opinions from the people are definitely not ignored! ”

"If you say I don't have a passion for the box office, you're wrong. I also know that once this system comes out, it will inevitably affect the movie "Color is Empty" that our company is currently shooting......"

Pick, make a promotion for your movie first, who asked you to rate it at this time, my box office, it's very cheating.

After someone screamed in his heart, he continued to be righteous and awe-inspiring on the surface, and talked eloquently. "But I'm not afraid! What does it matter if the box office is less? To be able to establish the correct cultural direction for the people of Hong Kong and contribute to the future development of Hong Kong's film and television industry, what is my small sacrifice?! As the saying goes: fish, I want it; The bear's paw is also what I want, and I can't have both, and the one who gives up the fish and takes the bear's paw. Life, also what I want; Righteousness. I also want it. You can't have both, and you can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness are also! ”

"In short, be a man with principles, abandon selfishness, and choose nobility; Abandon treachery and choose integrity; Abandon the ego and complete the ego! Chen Xiaotang is righteous and awe-inspiring. Impassioned, just like a true hero and a real man who goes to hell if I don't go to hell. The positive image bursts into light in an instant!

Pick, do the play? Boss Wu thought so.

That's good, this acting. Just now! Pan Disheng thought.

This Ah Tang is a bit interesting. The bosses of the three major film companies thought at the same time.

Treacherous, treacherous! Xiang Huasheng scolded in his heart, this guy is really a disadvantage not to run for parliament.

As for the knight of the Governor, he is a father of the goose! What do you want? This dear Chen is too cooperative with us!

"I agree!" Zou Wenhuai, the big guy with a fast brain, shook the cigarette ash with a smile, nonsense, since the Hong Kong Governor personally proposed it, it is already a matter of nails on the iron plate, and if he doesn't express his position, it will be too two!

I saw Zou said: "Ah Tang is right, I got to this point step by step." I know the thoughts of the people relatively well, if I ignore their voices, I'm afraid there will be trouble! ”

Pan Disheng smiled at Chen Xiaotang, and then said to the Governor of Hong Kong: "I agree, the scale is very important, if there is no such restriction, the impact will be great, and the gains will outweigh the losses at that time." ”

As soon as the others saw this posture, I was going to turn the sky upside down, and I didn't hurry up to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, so Wu Siyuan Wu Boss smiled and said: "I have always been very supportive of the government's work, in fact, I think this grading system should have been established a long time ago!" Even if you don't bring it up today, I will write a proposal and submit it! ”

Sir Youde: "Mr. Wu has a heart. ”

Wu Siyuan patted his chest, righteous and awe-inspiring: "This is what I should do as the chairman of the Film Association!" ”

Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, Hong Kong Governor Youde couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, don't look at him as the governor of Hong Kong, but after all, Hong Kong is known as the Hollywood of the East, and the film force is huge, even if he uses his power to implement the classification system, but if people don't do it, he has no problem, after all, most of Hong Kong's annual taxes come from these big bosses in the film industry. Besides, those who can mix in this circle are not rich and powerful, and they also have a good influence in political circles.

"Since everyone agrees, then I'll send someone to send the draft to you tomorrow!"

"Wait!" Chen Xiaotang glanced at Hong Kong Governor Youde leisurely, and then said: "Dear Hong Kong Governor, I would like to know, if after classification, will the third-level film be filmed without any restrictions?" ”

Chen Xiaotang's question is reasonable, according to his understanding, after Hong Kong implemented the grading system, the number of third-level films was stuck by the government. Every year, each production company needs to pay a certain amount of money to buy a certain quota, and if you want a little more, you have to start a satellite company to get more quota.

There is no problem with this, but the point is that this quota can be purchased, which means that the opportunities for strong companies are much greater, which indirectly creates unfairness. In fact, Chen Xiaotang has always thought that the government does not need to interfere in the specific operation of the film industry at all. For example, how to determine the number and proportion of this tertiary film, Chen Xiaotang thinks that it should be decided by the Film Association.

The others looked at each other one by one, and Hong Kong Governor Youde was even more surprised, and glanced at Chen Xiaotang in surprise, he didn't expect Chen Xiaotang to be able to see through the tricks behind this at a glance.

What to do? Embarrassed!

But this kind of question is not for him to answer, he made a look and let his spokesperson, the director of film and television, answer.

I saw the director of film and television, who had become a marionette, stand up, thought about it, gritted his teeth and said: "That's right, there is indeed a limit to the number of tertiary films per year. But it doesn't matter, it's a quota that can be purchased for money! ”

Chen Xiaotang smiled slightly, not knowing whether to talk to himself or what he wanted to do: "Yes, so the government's income will increase a lot." Good idea, sell quotas, maybe it can be auctioned, what will we make when the time comes? ”

Hong Kong Governor Youde blushed, as if he had been found last night, and coughed a few times. Turn your head away.

The director of film and television didn't know what to say, so he had to look dryly at the Governor of Hong Kong who kicked him out.

But the Governor of Hong Kong just turned his head away from him, and played the blind man wholeheartedly.

The poor commissioner was very sad, and he could see early on that the British government of Hong Kong was planning to make money on this. But he could only act as two hundred and five standing here, and he couldn't make the decision about the specific content, so he had to glance at the others helplessly. Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun and the others' expressions changed slightly, so that the government was planning to take money in their pockets.

Even Boss Wu Siyuan, who just patted his chest and assured that he and the government were on the united front, couldn't help but curse in his stomach: "Dog's day." It's so fucked up! ”

Chan Siu-tang ignored the Hong Kong Governor Youde, who pretended to be deaf and dumb. He smiled at the director of the "cannon fodder", and his tone was even more unpolite: "I don't know if I will restrict other types of films in the future, and then sell the same quota?" If that's the case, I think it's better to sell fish balls on the street and maybe make more money! ”

Zou Wenhuai laughed loudly, even Lei Juekun, who had always been indifferent, couldn't help but twitch his face. The director of film and television was even more embarrassed.

Chen Xiaotang is really out of the limelight at this moment. Still, that's exactly what he needs. He wanted to use this to tell the three major companies that the Shadow was definitely not a fish belly. Of course, the main reason is that they want to unite the three major companies to fight against this quota system. Especially like this scene. It's simply a realistic version of "Step by Step", as long as you take a wrong step, you will become a sinner through the ages, and you will never recover!

Zou Wenhuai waved his hand, showing the spirit of the big boss: "Don't talk about it." Don't count on our consent without addressing this quota system! ”

After speaking, everyone stood up, but everyone at least had to give the Governor of Hong Kong who played the blind man some face, after all, they threw the black pot out, and now they are still very "innocent", so before leaving, the big guys greeted the Governor of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Governor Youde can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, and said very seriously that the director of film and television has a very bad idea, and he will let the other party do a good review, as for the film classification, this matter will be discussed in the future.

Everyone dispersed, and at this moment, the director of film and television, who was even "blacker" than Li Kui and Zhang Fei, was embarrassed to death.

Before leaving, Chen Xiaotang walked up to him and patted the director on the shoulder: "Director, it's okay." I didn't take any money before, but now that we're reaching out to the film industry, of course we don't agree. I just plan to test it, not to do it! ”

The director of film and television glanced at Chen Xiaotang, who made him hate and love, hated Chen Xiaotang for kicking the purpose behind the whole thing in a situation like that just now, love is love Chen Xiaotang didn't treat him as a puppet like others.

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaotang turned around and left, and just after walking a few steps, Hong Kong Governor Youde stopped him behind him, "Dear Chen, stay for the time being, I have something to say to you!" ”

Chen Xiaotang turned his head and smiled at Hong Kong Governor Youde: "I don't know what your Excellency has to say?" ”

Governor Youde waved his hand and motioned for the commissioner with the black cauldron to leave. The chief of the hard work is finally relieved, sprinkled with Nala, the master will not play with you, there will be a period later, I will go to find someone else to carry the black pot.

Here, only Chen Xiaotang and Hong Kong Governor Youde are left in the entire VIP room.

Chen Xiaotang shrugged his shoulders and found a place to sit down, and Sir Youde handed Chen Xiaotang a glass of water and said, "That's right, dear Chen, I am very grateful for your support for the work of the government just now; The government also needs bold and knowledgeable filmmakers like you. You are young and promising, you are talented, you are unique, you are in the wind......"

The Governor of Hong Kong praised Chen Xiaotang like a son-in-law, and he was embarrassed to praise someone who was originally cheeky and had goosebumps all over his body.

"Ahem, honorable Governor of Hong Kong, can you always pick up the key points?"

"Oh, look at me, what I mean is actually very simple, our government needs filmmakers like you, you can be our spokesperson, replace the newly established film association......"

Chen Xiaotang understood that this Youde Lao'er was throwing an olive branch to himself and wanted to win him over. But if you do this, you will undoubtedly become a "traitor" in the film industry.

This promising career is most suitable for people like Wu Siyuan, which is a bit too "advanced" for Chen Xiaotang to play.

So Chen Xiaotang said to Youde very sincerely: "Dear Lord Hong Kong, now I tell you as a private friend, it is best for Hong Kong films not to intervene in the power of the government, only in this way can they prosper and develop, and only in this way can they maintain rich taxes...... You must know that movies are equivalent to public opinion, and the terrible superior atomic bomb of public opinion! ”

"Okay, that's it, I don't have anything more to say, I wish you a smooth and happy work in the future!" After saying this, Chen Xiaotang got up, nodded to Youde and left.

Looking at the back of Chen Xiaotang's departure, Hong Kong Governor Youde fell into a very painful contemplation...... His wish is very simple, just like meddling in Hong Kong movies to share a piece of the pie, but now, it seems that everyone is very unhappy that he is inserting a bar for no reason......

Just as Governor Youde was pondering, someone suddenly said, "Lord Governor, the charity auction has begun!" ”
