Chapter 507: Warm Hospitality
readx;
Not to mention a film company like Shaw Brothers, even Li Mingbao is not thinking about co-producing movies with the mainland now. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info It's not that Li Mingbao takes into account any political influence, for these things, Li Mingbao is now downbeat, if Li Mingbao is happy, even if it is a tunnel war with the mainland, he can sell it to the United States. So the political influence or something has little to do with Li Mingbao.
The main reason why Li Mingbao didn't think about co-producing movies with the mainland is that the rules of the current film studios in the mainland are not very suitable for co-production, and for films with small investment, the rules or something are not too important, but for the movies that Li Mingbao wants to make, the rules of the mainland film factories are really a trouble.
What he wants to make is a big movie, and if a single film studio wants to take down such a task, it is not that it can't be done, but that they don't have much benefit from doing so, after all, the film studios in the mainland live on funding, and everyone's living expenses are not earned back by making movies, but by appropriations from higher departments.
In this way, the following people are more troublesome on the issue of transferring personnel, Li Mingbao directly gives them money, it will not work at all, and if they don't give them money, it is a problem for the film to start shooting, in the mainland co-production of movies, Li Mingbao is not afraid of no money, his money wants to make a movie, no matter what kind of movie he can afford now, the key is that this money, can't reach the hands of the partner, first to their superior departments, and then transfer it level by level, in the end, maybe Li Mingbao will give 10 million Hong Kong dollars, I can get 2 million Hong Kong dollars at the film studio, which is very good.
In this case, Li Mingbao's co-production of movies in the mainland will not save much more than that of making movies in Hong Kong, unless the movies he makes are specified above, simply put, it is a special fund, otherwise, the film studio can not get much benefit. So for Li Mingbao himself, the head of co-production movies is not so big, he is not as flexible as Wu Siyuan, low-cost movies, Wu Siyuan can directly give money to the film studio, but Li Mingbao's movies can't go through such a process, Wu Siyuan has a profit, but Li Mingbao has no money.
Wu Siyuan didn't know that after Li Mingbao asked him, his mind turned several times, thinking about whether it would be beneficial for Li Mingbao to co-make a movie by himself. He heard Li Mingbao's question, so he said with a smile: "If I had taken care of the Taiwan market before, after all, it was not so easy for Hong Kong films to break into other places at that time, even if there were channels, it was also a channel for large companies, we are small shrimps, the channels are not so smooth, and the market in Taiwan is also a big head for Hong Kong films, so not many people dared to touch co-produced movies before."
But I'm different, my movies are in Taiwan, basically there is not much market, and the relationship with that side is not too good. Therefore, the Taiwan market, even in the past, I didn't care so much, not to mention that now that Hong Kong has a circulation port, the importance of the Taiwan market itself has been lowered a lot, so it is even more impossible for me to care about the Taiwan market.
I'm not as atmospheric as Boss Li, Hong Kong movies can be screened in the United States, and they can also get a good box office, I just pick up some soup to drink, and I can sell a little bit is a little, plus the cost is not too big, even if I shoot two or three films in a row, I can afford it. So co-making a movie is a way out for me, after all, Hong Kong's local film talents are too sought-after now, and I don't have many resources in my hands. ”
Hearing Wu Siyuan's words, Li Mingbao is what is called desirelessness, the market in Taiwan, Wu Siyuan does not have it, so he is naturally not afraid of Taiwan causing trouble to himself, plus now that Hong Kong has a circulation port, it is easier to buy and sell Hong Kong films than before, Taiwan and the mainland do not deal with each other, it does not mean that other places also do not deal with the mainland, plus Wu Siyuan is not doing a big deal, small fights, get the movie out, can make a little money, and can also use this to build a good relationship with the mainland, It's a matter of killing multiple birds with one stone, and Wu Siyuan is naturally very happy. He doesn't have any other political aspirations, so he doesn't have to think about it that much.
After understanding this, Li Mingbao gradually understood why Wu Siyuan would have such great achievements in Hong Kong in the future, maybe the root is here, Wu Siyuan himself has the ability, plus the relationship with the mainland, it is impossible not to go up.
Now that I understand, and Wu Siyuan's actions are not too much trouble for Li Mingbao and Hong Kong movies, then Li Mingbao will let go of his previous worries and will not cause trouble, Li Mingbao is not much interested in Wu Siyuan's co-production of movies or something, anyway, the profits in this are dispensable for Li Mingbao, so naturally there is no need to pay attention, and after chatting with Wu Siyuan for a while, Li Mingbao sent Wu Siyuan away.
Although the final destination of the Hong Kong delegation was to go to the capital, in other places, everyone also stayed for a lot of time, especially in some relatively developed areas, and the local leaders also did a good job of entertaining them. Not only the official members, but also the entourage, the mainland convenience has made a detailed table, who likes to eat, drink, there are notes.
It is not uncommon for a group of people who went to the mainland this time to enjoy such treatment, and even the vast majority of the official members of the regiment look like this at home, but they are also surprised that the mainland has done such meticulous work. It is not too difficult to be able to take care of one person, and it is not too difficult to be able to take care of ten people, but this time the mainland took care of more than 100 people, all of whom are experts, and understand how tedious the work is and how much energy it takes.
Among all the bigwigs here, none of them have the ability to do such a thorough job, and only the mainland can have such confidence. A simple hospitality, although it makes everyone happy physically and mentally, and their goodwill towards the mainland has increased a lot, but it also makes these bigwigs from Hong Kong understand that the mainland is not useless, and even the details are taken care of so well.
On the side of Hong Kong and the British, not to mention whether they will have such a good attitude towards them as Hong Kong businessmen, it is a question mark just whether they can do it. Therefore, the issue of hospitality alone has made many tycoons from Hong Kong understand for the first time the breadth and depth of the mainland, although they are rich, they are still small shrimp in the face of such a big force. The game also depends on the strength of both sides, in the case of a huge difference in strength like now, the vast majority of people who understand their minds have put down the little bit of caution in their hearts, and everyone is naturally welcome to have a good result, but even if there is no good result, don't be angry, because they have no qualifications to talk about conditions.
Along the way, from south to north, the minds of many Hong Kong people have changed very significantly, which can be regarded as a baptism. Of course, among these Hong Kong people, Li Mingbao does not include Li Mingbao, and Li Mingbao has long known the strength of the mainland, so it is not surprising at all, if there is no such strength, can the mainland take back Hong Kong so easily? Don't forget, the United Kingdom behind Hong Kong is a well-known-stirring stick, even if its ability is declining now, it is not something that an ordinary country can settle down, and the mainland can make Britain lose its temper, so it naturally has his confidence.
Naturally, the trains of the eighties were not as fast as they were twenty or thirty years later. So even if it was a train that specially entertained Hong Kong people, it was actually not very fast, and there was still some time in the middle to interact with the locals, so when I arrived in the capital, the delegation was on the mainland, and it had been almost a week.
And when he arrived in the capital, the mainland side also directly sent Zhengguo-level leaders to receive him personally, giving Hong Kong people enough face, compared to the last time Li Mingbao came to the mainland alone, he received an exceptional reception, and the current reception is even very normal. After all, among the people who came to the mainland this time, guys like Li Mingbao can only be regarded as small characters, real bigwigs, and even awesome characters who have seen Lao Mao, so it is not so exceptional for Zhengguo-level leaders to meet.
The sincerity of the mainland can be regarded as something that Hong Kong people have seen. And along the way, the people in the Hong Kong delegation are also passing on some messages to each other, so just came to the capital, after being received, the people of the Hong Kong delegation began to donate, the official delegation members, those in the top ranks, basically donated tens of millions, and the more later, the less everyone donated, to Li Mingbao, one million Hong Kong dollars, just a meaning. It's not that Li Mingbao is reluctant to donate, but he is not qualified to donate more, everything has to be rules, this time Li Mingbao is not alone in the mainland, he can come as he wants, the Hong Kong delegation is a group, if you Li Mingbao make a fuss, what do others think? Therefore, this donation must be made by people with identity to donate more, and people without identity cannot donate even if you want to donate.
I don't know when the rule of donation began to rise, anyway, as long as there are people with status who come back from other places, they basically have to donate money. In ancient parlance, that is tribute, of course, tribute you also have to have an identity to pay tribute, and in modern times, during the Republic of China, donations or something have become the norm, overseas people, for domestic, that is a word, donate.
Until now, everyone has to follow the local customs, first go through the procedure of donation, and then talk about other things.
