Chapter 354: The Talker

83_83454 "The global box office of "ET" is $790 million, close to 800 million. At the exchange rate of 82 years, it was close to 8 billion Hong Kong dollars. The storytelling of this film, in all fairness, is not too surprising. But its special effects and details far exceed our Hong Kong movies for at least one era. ”

"Another example, Star Wars in '77. This movie, we can completely ignore its box office results. For world cinema, it is a milestone without ideas. Again, in terms of storytelling, it doesn't have a plot that is too good and too moving. But its special effects and conception are beyond the entire era. ”

"If we don't move forward, we will still revel in the reputation of Oriental Hollywood all day long. Then one day, the real Hollywood will use their special effects movies to break the cultural barrier and kill us without leaving a piece of armor. ”

"For various reasons, Asian countries are not very popular with Chinese-language films. They have watched our films wreak havoc on their turf, beating their own films to pieces, and they have already begun to propose to restrict Chinese-language films. Although it doesn't matter in the short term, we need to be prepared. ”

Yan Qingyu's words were like a hammer in the hearts of many filmmakers, like falling into an ice cave.

These people are professional filmmakers who have been engaged in film for more than ten years or even decades, and they have been making movies all their lives, and they don't know what else to do except movies.

If it is really as Yan Qingyu said, then I am afraid they will not have a good time in the rest of their lives.

"Yan Sheng. Why do Southeast Asian countries restrict Hong Kong films? As far as I know, they are very fond of our Hong Kong films. Since I made films at Shaw Brothers, Southeast Asian countries have started to import Hong Kong films. ”

The veteran director Li Hanxiang asked with some puzzlement.

Yan Qingyu smiled: "It's very simple. Because the northern continent has begun to rise strongly. The rise of a large country will inevitably cause concern among the surrounding small countries. Even in peacetime, there are fears of cultural invasion by the other side. The stronger the mainland develops, the more uneasy and worried the countries of Southeast Asia are about their own security. ”

When everyone heard this, they were immediately silent.

This kind of thing, they were completely uninterested in before. But they are all highly educated people, and they hear it at the moment. After a little thought, I understood why.

Understanding is understanding, but they have no solution at all, and their faces are extremely ugly.

Yan Qingyu saw this. He smiled: "Don't worry, at least in the last few years, there haven't been any major problems." Moreover, it is not without a solution. ”

"Oh? Yan Sheng, what is the solution to this kind of problem involving national policy? ”

The Xiang brothers of Yongsheng Film are also here today, Xiang Huasheng heard what he said just now, and he couldn't help it after thinking about it for a long time, but now listening to Yan Qingyu's words, he suddenly came to his senses.

Yan Qingyu said: "Southeast Asian countries. There is basically no development of cinema in their own country. Therefore, if they want to expel Hong Kong films, they can only import films from other countries. If nothing else, it should be a Hollywood blockbuster. Then it's easy to do, and we can give our movies a layer of Hollywood skin. ”

Xiang Huasheng's mind turned relatively quickly, and he said a little knowingly: "Yan Sheng, you mean that we registered a film company in Hollywood?" ”

Yan Qingyu laughed when she heard this. said: "It is worthy of being the little Zhuge of New Yi'an, and he is bright enough." Not bad. At that time, we registered our film company in Hollywood. then stuffed a few foreign devils into the film and made it a cover. When the time comes, we'll be Hollywood blockbusters. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Xiang Huasheng was a little disappreciative and said: "Yan Sheng, the people at the home appliance inspection department are not idiots, and they can't tell if it's true or not." ”

Yan Qingyu glanced at Hua Sheng lightly, put up the cold hairs he was looking at, and then said: "The person who makes the policy and the person who implements the policy may not be of the same mind. As long as we have righteousness, then other details can be solved in various ways. Money, women, estate, and bullets. The businessmen of their country are not politicians, they only care about interests. As long as they can have an excuse to deal with the government, then the rest is insignificant to them. ”

Xiang Huasheng was speechless when he heard this, and nodded with a dry smile.

Yan Qingyu's words made the entire conference room quiet, and everyone felt cold in their hearts, only to hear Yan Qingyu continue: "Finally, I will talk to you a little bit, which is also the most important topic today. Nowadays, the development of the mainland is getting better and better, and of course, there are many problems. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Qingyu's voice rose sharply, and said: "However, these problems have nothing to do with our entertainment industry. Remember, we are just entertainers and businessmen who are in the entertainment industry, not politicians who worry about the country and the people. If someone wants to get involved in politics, then please quit the entertainment industry and go to the mixed political arena, where is there enough platform for you to stir up the storm. However, I will never allow any artist, any person in the entertainment industry, to say something that does not fit their identity. ”

"Yan Sheng, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband. I don't think it's sinful for us to say something that should be said, and you don't have the right to stop us from doing so. ”

Cen Jianxun, one of the founders of Debao Film Company, turned red and roared angrily. He is a well-known citizen in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Carriers, and the so-called people. The chairman of the Movement Alliance is the one who has criticized the mainland the most.

Yan Qingyu's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at Cen Jianxun with a cold gaze, and said coldly: "With the take-off of the mainland's economic development, the mainland, with a population of one billion, will inevitably be our indispensable ticket warehouse. This point is related to the life and death of Hong Kong films. I will never allow anyone to undermine the relationship between the Hong Kong entertainment industry and the mainland. Anyone who dares to shoot some movies that smear the mainland and make some movies that do not respect objective facts in order to curry favor with certain people and certain forces, then what awaits him must be a strong blockade by the world group. If you can't do it, leave. ”

Cen Jianxun was furious when he heard this: "Yan Qingyu, who do you think you are? Why do you want me to leave the entertainment industry. You're the only one. Husband, you are the dictator of the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Why are you depriving me of the right to speak? ”

Yan Qingyu looked at him coldly with a squinting gaze, shook his head and said, "I never thought about depriving anyone of their right to speak, I just sued you, involved in politics, and left." As for who I am, I can sue you, I am Yan Qingyu. Are these three words enough to get you out? ”

Cen Jianxun's angry face turned pale, he understood that what Yan Qingyu said was true, and after today, the possibility that he still wanted to mix in the Hong Kong entertainment industry was almost zero. But he was unwilling, he pointed at Yan Qingyu and shouted: "In Hong Kong, don't want to cover the sky with one hand." ”

Yan Qingyu lowered her eyes and said lightly: "If you really feel that you are the savior, you can go to politics." If you really feel that you have the truth in your hands, you can arm yourself and go to the revolution. However, don't jump around in the name of the Hong Kong entertainment industry and make a laughing stock in vain. ”

After that, he no longer paid attention to Cen Jianxun, but focused on Debao's boss Hong Jinbao, and said lightly: "Brother Sanmao, do you remember my words?" ”

Hong Jinbao's face changed for a while, but after all, he still couldn't resist Yan Qingyu's indifferent but sharp eyes, nodded, and said in an urn voice: "Remember." ”

Yan Qingyu's gaze swept to the other people in the conference room, Tsui Hark, Wu Yusen, and To Qifeng...... All the directors and producers in Hong Kong who have names and surnames, and those who are touched by his gaze, bow their heads one after another.

After glancing around, Yan Qingyu stood up, and the dynasty behind him quickly pulled his chair away, Yan Qingyu turned around and walked towards the door, leaving a sentence that echoed in the conference room:

"Remember, whoever interferes in mainland politics, who leaves."

After Yan Qingyu left, everyone in the conference room did not move for a long time, but most of them lit a cigarette.

For a moment, the conference room was on fire and filled with smoke.

"We can't settle for this. The rule of the husband, here is Hong Kong, here is the people. Lord society, we can't watch him do whatever he wants, who does he think he is? ”

Cen Jianxun was unwilling to fail and shouted loudly again.

In his opinion, as long as everyone in this conference room rises up against Yan Qingyu, then no matter how powerful Yan Qingyu is, he can't cover the sky with one hand.

The first to get up was Wang Tianlin, who stood up, looked at Cen Jianxun and shook his head, sighed, and said, "I'm old and can't sit for too long." Everyone, disperse. ”

After that, with the support of Wang Jing and Du Qifeng, he left slowly.

After that, the older generation of influential Zhang Che, Hu Jinquan, Li Hanxiang and others left one after another.

If Shum Jianxun really spoke out for Hong Kong movies, maybe they might still come out to speak.

But Cen Jianxun is for the so-called bullshit people. The Lord fights, in their opinion, this and. Eggs make no difference.

Hong Kong is still a colony, why didn't he fight the British?

What does the matter on the political platform have to do with their movie?

It's really as Yan Qingyu said, for the sake of the bullshit people. Lord, if you have hated the mainland government, then the gains outweigh the losses.

Although there are only four or five Hong Kong movies imported by the mainland every year, they are all selected from theaters all over the world.

But as long as there is this opening, sooner or later it will be completely opened, right?

Think of the billion-dollar horrific population on the mainland.

Think about the "Shaolin Temple" in 82, a dime a movie ticket, the mainland can actually collect hundreds of millions of box office.

It's like a dream.

If one day, the mainland market is open to Hong Kong films, then Hong Kong films will not be afraid even if they lose the Southeast Asian market.

Think about that terrifying population base, even if only one percent of people go to the theater to watch, it is a shocking box office base.

In front of real filmmakers and businessmen, the so-called politics are worthless.

When the building was empty, Sammo Hung had a black face, sighed and patted Cen Jianxun's shoulder, and said: "Forget the lion head, you ask him who he is, he is now the speaker of the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry, you can't fight him, and no one can fight him." If you still want to continue making movies, go to Honggu and talk to her, and let her intercede in front of Yan Qingyu. Otherwise, even if you make a movie, no one will dare to release it for you. ”
