Yan Qingyu walked to Stephen Chow and sat down, stretched out his hand and patted Stephen Chow's shoulder, and said, "Xingzai, being serious doesn't mean being harsh, and being rigorous shouldn't be unkind." It's not that you can only do things well with a straight face, you have high requirements for yourself, which is great, but you can't ask everyone to be as dedicated as you are, and love movies so much. For them, movies are just a means of making a living, nothing more. ”

Stephen Chow's face was very depressed, he shook his head and said, "If you don't have a movie in your heart, how can you make a good movie?" ”

Yan Qingyu said: "So this is the gap between Hong Kong movies and Hollywood movies. It's not that literary films don't sell well, but it just depends on whether the director, actor and screenwriter really have a movie in their hearts. This is the status quo of the entire Hong Kong film, it's not your Stephen Chow problem, all you have to do is stick to your own principles, but don't interfere with others. ”

Stephen Chow said angrily when he heard this: "Could it be that Hong Kong movies can only go on like this?" We just watched indifferently? ”

Yan Qingyu smiled and said: "First of all, you have to know what the meaning of Hong Kong movies is, do you know what it is?" ”

Stephen Chow frowned and said: "Hong Kong movies are naturally Hong Kong movies, a part of Hong Kong, and the pride of Hong Kong people!" ”

Yan Qingyu waved his hand and said: "You are too narrow-minded, it should be said that the significance of Hong Kong movies lies in its ability to promote the culture of the Chinese nation." It can let people who see Hong Kong movies know what the culture of the Chinese nation is like. For example, the chivalrous spirit promoted in martial arts dramas is a very typical culture of Chinese civilization. To put it simply, as long as the films that promote this culture can be guaranteed to be immortal, then Hong Kong films will not die. Do you understand? ”

Stephen Chow shook his head and said: "I don't understand, I only know that making a good movie is a good Hong Kong movie." ”

Yan Qingyu was a little disappointed: "For me, as long as I can make a film that can promote Chinese culture and don't let American culture be beautiful in the world, I don't mind shooting in a different place." As long as there are Chinese people in the movie. It doesn't matter whether it is a Hong Kong person, a Taiwanese or a mainlander, as long as there are Chinese faces, Chinese movies are made. So it doesn't matter if I go to Hollywood, the movie can still be released in Hong Kong anyway. And what I need is someone like you who really takes movies to heart, that's all. ”

Stephen Chow's face was a little ugly and said: "If you go to Hollywood to make a Hong Kong movie, can it still be called a Hong Kong movie?" ”

Yan Qingyu was curious: "Why can't it be called a Hong Kong movie?" I'm from Hong Kong! The crew will also have Hong Kong people, and the actors will also have Hong Kong people, and what is promoted is the cultural spirit that Hong Kong films have been promoting. What is such a movie called if it is not called a Hong Kong movie? ”

"Then only you can do that, when you're dead?"

Stephen Chow was not convinced.

Yan Qingyu laughed and said: "You underestimate our country too much, especially the mainland, where there are 1.1 billion of our compatriots!" Xing Tsai, there are millions of people in Hong Kong, and there are so many talents. It is nothing more than relying on advanced educational forces. When education on the mainland develops, will there still be a shortage of intelligent people? All they lacked was a pioneer trailblazer. In their words, with a little spark, they can start a prairie fire! ”

Stephen Chow was surprised: "Won't it? Xiao Yu. Is this kind of thing great when there are many people? Taiwan has a population of 20 million, and Taiwan's economy and education are not bad, why are movies not as powerful as Hong Kong movies? ”

Yan Qingyu waved his hand and said: "Taiwan's thoughts are actually still in a cage and imprisoned. Although it is better now, it is also limited, and it is not much stronger than the mainland. Even so, aren't Taiwan's literary films far surpassing Hong Kong's? I know you want to say that their box office records are all made by Hong Kong films. But the box office really can't be equated with the quality of the movie. It's very simple, you take a Hong Kong movie and a Taiwanese movie to a foreign competition to watch, I promise. It must be a Taiwanese film award. It's not that Taiwan doesn't have good filmmakers, it's just that they are not allowed to create their own films. That's it. ”

Stephen Chow was a little sullen, but he still couldn't accept it, and let Hong Kong's local movies gradually fall into disuse.

Yan Qingyu said earnestly: "Xingzai, take a long-term view, I have already received the news that the recent atmosphere in Southeast Asian countries is very problematic, and there are gradually signs of anti-Chinese culture." If this limelight takes shape, then our Hong Kong movies will bear the brunt of it. Japan and South Korea have also begun to gradually increase the introduction of American Hollywood films, and Taiwan is no different. Xingzai, if these film sales ports are lost, do you think you can support so many film companies by relying on the Hong Kong local market? ”

Stephen Chow's face turned pale with horror when he heard this, and he said in a trembling voice: "Then what should we do?" ”

With the further development of the Asian economy, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea have increasingly become the big box office warehouses of Hong Kong films.

Why are those community forces crazy and want to make movies? Just relying on the Hong Kong local market, they can't even get their books back.

However, with the huge selling ports of Southeast Asian countries, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, they can not only return to their original costs, but also make money several times or even more than ten times, which is even more profitable than selling powder and arms.

These box offices are also the most important places for Stephen Chow, Stephen Chow's comedy is unacceptable in the West, Europe and the United States, in the eyes of Westerners, his performance is as unsightly as a clown, but Jackie Chan's kung fu still has some highlights, of course, it is just something to watch.

If these big box offices in Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are lost, then Stephen Chow's life as an actor will almost come to an end. Just his high salary is beyond the limit of what Hong Kong can afford.

Yan Qingyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Xingzai, we won't lose these markets, these countries are very disgusted with China, thinking that it is the hard-working Chinese who have robbed them of their living space." But for the Americans, they are willing to be lackeys. When they opposed Hong Kong films, they vigorously imported Hollywood films. Okay, then let's go to Hollywood to set up a film company, and then shoot our films, I don't believe it, they dare to refuse! ”

Stephen Chow's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he became happy, he smashed Yan Qingyu hard with his fist, and said with a smile: "I'm picking, no wonder you can do such a big business, you are really smart enough!" ”

Yan Qingyu smiled: "So." Your biggest task now is to keep sharpening your acting skills. Then help me discover a few people who really have movies in mind, and a few people who consider themselves actors rather than stars. You don't care about the rest. Otherwise, I didn't wait for you to go to Hollywood with me, I'm afraid I'll have to help you collect the body! ”

Stephen Chow laughed when he heard this: "I know, but Xiao Yu, will they already hate me in their hearts now?" Stephen Chow asked with some concern.

Yan Qingyu waved his hand and said: "If your movie is unfavorable at the box office after it is released, and Brother Xiang asks you for trouble, you sue him, and I will give them a good movie as compensation." But if he's bold enough to touch you on a finger, then I'll blame them. ”

Stephen Chow's eyes suddenly turned red when he heard this, his excited lips trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Yan Qingyu patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said with a smile: "Okay, my brother, don't be like this." As long as you don't give me any more trouble. Didn't you say you were my spiritual leader and life coach? ”

Stephen Chow burst into tears when he heard this, and scolded with a smile: "It's just bragging, you laugh at a fart." Choose! But Xiao Yu, is your ambition too big and noble, you can make a fortune by making a good movie, and promote Chinese culture? Isn't it a bit too empty? ”

Yan Qingyu smiled faintly when she heard this: "Make money? Star Boy. I now have tens of billions of assets, and that number is growing. What do I want so much money for? Money alone doesn't have much influence, otherwise the most powerful person in the world should be the bank. Real money is only when it is turned into a truly impactful cause. Otherwise, it's just paper. And the direction I chose is cultural media! ”

Stephen Chow was curious: "Why?" Isn't real estate more profitable? Hong Kong's top ten richest people, Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoji, and Guo family brothers. They all relied on the windfall profits of real estate to rank among the top ten chaebols. ”

Yan Qingyu said lightly: "Do you think Li Ka-shing's status is high, or Uncle Shao's status is high?" ”

Stephen Chow was stunned when he heard this, scratched his head and said, "It should be Li Ka-shing, right?" Uncle Six's money is no more than 10 billion, and the market value of Li Ka-shing's company has long exceeded 100 billion. ”

Yan Qingyu smiled: "Then why is the first person in Hong Kong to be knighted by the queen is the sixth uncle, not Li Ka-shing or the Guo brothers?" ”

Stephen Chow was a little dumbfounded, and after thinking about it, he said, "Maybe the influence of the sixth uncle should be greater." ”

Yan Qingyu waved his hand and said, "Not only influence, but also contribution." The Li family made their fortune by making huge profits from finance and real estate, and to put it bluntly, they made their fortune by pumping the blood of Hong Kong citizens. Even if there is a lot of money, so what? What does it contribute to Hong Kong? You must know that the real estate business philosophy of these chaebols is not to sell houses to make money, but to rent.

They use their capital to enclose land, and then build high-rise buildings, and then turn these high-rise buildings into housing or shops to rent out, so that they can continue to accumulate wealth, and can further speculate on housing prices, so that their already profitable land and real estate are more valuable and appreciated. In this way, their net worth skyrocketed day by day.

But this is not in the interest of the people, and it is not in the interest of society. Hong Kong's six million citizens may not be able to afford a house after a lifetime of hard work. More often than not, it is they who invest their hard-earned little money in the stock market, which seems to be more and more prosperous, to increase its value, and as a result, the stock price rises to a certain level, which happens to be cheaper than those huge British chaebols and wealthy families like the Li family, because they are all constituent stocks of Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index!

Such a person has a lot of money, but if you want to talk about influence, hehe! However, Uncle Six is different, Wireless is a free TV station, which makes money through advertising. For ordinary citizens, its contribution is too great. Think about it, if there was no TVB, how boring life would be for Hong Kong citizens? Moreover, even if Uncle Liu's money is not as much as Li Ka-shing's, doesn't Li Ka-shing have to be called "Uncle Six" when he sees Uncle Liu?

Therefore, my money can be earned by going abroad for finance, instead of sucking the blood of Hong Kong citizens. What I want to do is to turn my money into a huge influence, not like the Li family, which can only rely on deposit figures and capital to have an impact, which has no great effect, otherwise the Li family would not think about buying an infrastructure industry like HK Electric.

I hope that one day I will no longer be just a young man of the Zhang family in Taiwan, and I will no longer be just a lucky boy who has a relationship with the high-level of the mainland, and I hope that one day I can make all people be in awe with my name alone, instead of pulling the tiger skin and pulling the banner like now. ”

This kind of remark is tantamount to a spiritual shock for Stephen Chow.

In Hong Kong, it is the first time that someone has proposed that being rich does not mean being influential.

In Stephen Chow's heart, he has always believed that being rich is the boss, being rich is the foundation, and being rich is influential.

If you don't see Li Chaoren, isn't it because you have money that you have become a miracle in the Chinese circle in the world?

However, from the bottom of his heart, he felt that Yan Qingyu's words were more reasonable.

In the veins of real estate developers, there is indeed immoral blood flowing in them! (To be continued......)
