Chapter 396: The 4th Academy Awards Ceremony (Middle)
"Hello, Mr. Liao! Fortunately, fortunately! Han Jin shook his hand with a smile and said.
Although he didn't know why the leftist film company would find him, he didn't dare to offend these gods lightly. After all, in another ten years, this will be everyone's world.
"It's better to be famous than to meet, I didn't expect you, Mr. Han, to be really young." Liao Yiyuan praised with a smile, "It's really amazing and admirable to do so much at such a young age!" ”
"Mr. Liao has won the award, I'm just an artist." Han Jin smiled, but the more curious he became, he couldn't understand what this leftist film company boss was looking for.
"Could it be that he is trying to win himself over?" Han Jin suddenly had a wit and couldn't help but think.
If it's for this purpose, then he's really going to have to be careful.
"Mr. Han doesn't have to be modest, your achievements are obvious to all." Liao Yiyuan smiled, "By the way, I also want to thank you for helping us write songs for our movie." ”
The "Flowing Year" created by Han Jin for Xu Xiaofeng was used as the theme song of the movie "Flowing Water" by the Jade Bird Film Company founded by Ms. Xia Di.
In her early years, Ms. Xia Di was the head of the leftist film company Great Wall Pictures, and her Blue Bird Film Company is also a leftist background, and it is a company that is licensed to shoot movies in Big 6. It seems that the "Running to the Angry Sea" was invested by her and filmed on Hainan Island in the mainland.
"Oh, it's an honor for your company to use my work." Han Jin smiled, but he didn't remember that they had paid him the copyright fee.
Although he sold the song "Like Water Flowing Years" to Xu Xiaofeng. But it's just authorized for her use. The copyright is still in Han Jin's own hands, whether she releases an album or holds a concert, or even participates in commercial performances, he can collect copyright fees from it.
And if the song is used as the theme song by the movie, he can also get copyright income. But he doesn't remember that in his income, there is a song copyright fee paid by Jade Bird Film Company.
"Well, either I've forgotten too much about things, or people don't have the concept of copyright at all." Han Jin thought for a while.
"Mr. Han's musical talent is indeed amazing, and your songs are also very popular in the mainland." Liao Yiyuan said with a smile again.
Han Jin was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile. "Yes. That's a real pleasure! But why don't I remember that my record was ever licensed to be imported from the mainland? ”
Liao Yiyuan couldn't help but look embarrassed when he heard him say this, knowing that Han Jin was complaining about smuggling and copying.
Now the economy of the interior has begun to expand, when people have solved the problem of food and clothing. Naturally, the spiritual quest began. And it's so close. Hong Kong, the same origin. Because of the unprecedented prosperity of cultural and entertainment undertakings, it is naturally also wildly sought after by the mainland.
Now north of the Shenzhen River, many people have erected high antennas. Just to be able to watch TVB and ATV programs. And there are even more people who listen to the programs of Radio Television Hong Kong and Hong Kong Commercial Radio on the radio. In addition, remake records, remake tapes, remake videos, etc. are also sought after, and have been flooded in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghi, and even Yan Kyoto.
Liao Yiyuan has also heard of this, and knows that reproduction has always been the most disgusting thing for these musicians, producers, and record companies. Because reprinting is tantamount to stealing, Yan zhòng harms the interests of these creators.
Although Han Jin's songs are very popular in the mainland, and there are people dancing disco with his songs in Yanjing Park, Han Jin can't earn a penny from it. Seeing that my works are being used for free, and I have no way to do it, is indeed depressing enough.
Don't talk about him, even Liao Yiyuan will be depressed. The films shot by their Yindu institutions often encounter reproductions when they are screened in China. Especially in second- and third-tier cities, small counties are the strictest, and they have lost a lot of money.
"Oh, maybe they know it by listening to the radio." Liao Yiyuan said with a wry smile, "Mr. Han, in fact, the cultural and entertainment market in the mainland is really big, and it also has great potential to be tapped. ”
Han Jin nodded, "I know that the mainland has a population of more than one billion, which is 200 times that of Hong Kong, and contains an incomparably vast market. ”
"Mr. Han is right! Moreover, the spiritual needs of the people in the interior are also very strong. Liao Yiyuan said with a smile, "If Mr. Han is interested, I think the door of the mainland will open to you at any time." You see, didn't Mr. Luo Wen and Ms. Wang Mingquan both go to our mainland to perform this year? ”
Han Jin smiled, "I really admire the courage of the master, and I hope that like him, I can pay New Year's greetings to the compatriots in the mainland as soon as possible!" ”
"Mr. Han's sincerity is really touching, don't worry, I will definitely help you arrange it." Liao Yiyuan was busy.
Han Jin smiled, "Okay, good, I'll definitely go if I have the chance." ’
Liao Yiyuan also nodded, "Okay, then I won't bother, Mr. Han, see you soon." ”
"Goodbye, go slowly, Mr. Liao!" Han Jin smiled.
……
Seeing Liao Yiyuan leave, Han Jin sat back in his seat.
Several people present looked at him in surprise, "Ah Jin, are you really going to perform in the mainland?" Zhong Chuhong asked in surprise.
She knows how fierce the fight between the mainland and Taiwan is now, Liang Jiahui went to the mainland to shoot a "Curtain Listens to Politics", and now a generation of Academy Award actors has been reduced to setting up stalls on the street. If Han Jin dares to perform in the mainland, then Taiwan will not spare him.
"Ah Jin, don't go! You have so much money now, go over there, be careful of being overwhelmed,. Lan Jieyuan also said worriedly.
"Poof!" Hearing Lan Jieyuan say this, Han Jin almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, "Don't talk nonsense, how can the mainland be so messy?" Do you see so many Hong Kong businessmen going to the mainland? ”
However, he also knows that it is precisely because of the long-term blockade in the north, although it is only separated from Hong Kong by a river. But chickens and dogs don't smell each other, just like two worlds.
In addition, the word of mouth of the old people who fled from the mainland to Hong Kong in the early years, the deliberate smear of the Taiwan authorities, and the reckless behavior of Hong Kong's leftist organizations have also made the Hong Kong people full of fear of the mainland.
Although what Lan Jieyuan said is full of loopholes at first hearing, there is a large market in Hong Kong, which makes many Hong Kong citizens firmly believe it.
Even now that the north has begun to carry out reform and opening up, most of the people in the past were so-called red capitalists, and some people were trembling and walking on thin ice. I went to the mainland to test the waters.
"Ah Jin. So you're really planning to perform in the mainland? When Sister Mei heard him say this, she couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Not yet! Although the mainland market is large enough, it is still quite immature. Han Jin waved his hand and said, "I won't consider going there for the time being." ”
Entertainment industry. It belongs to the tertiary industry. It takes a relatively mature market to support it. At present, the primary industry (agriculture) and the secondary industry (industry) in the mainland are not yet mature. Not to mention the tertiary industry.
Besides, he doesn't want to give up the Taiwan market, you must know that the Taiwan market is relatively mature, and now it is an important export place for Hong Kong's entertainment and cultural industry. Taiwan's films grossed twice as much as Hong Kong's. Records often exceed the million mark. This point is still not comparable to that of the mainland for the time being.
"I'm relieved to hear you say that. I'm really afraid that your brain will be hot, and you will be fooled into going to the mainland. When the time comes, no one will know if you eat you dry. Sister Mei said with a sigh of relief.
"Alas, don't talk nonsense, how can the mainland be as bad as you say. Now that Coca-Cola has gone to the mainland to build factories, can I be worth more than others? Han Jin smiled.
"In short, I don't want you to go to the mainland, you see that the current provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers are all mainlanders. They dare to be so fierce when they come to Hong Kong, if you go to the mainland, to other people's territory, isn't it equivalent to entering a bandit's nest? Sister Mei said.
Han Jin also knows that immigrants from the mainland have indeed caused great trouble to Hong Kong's public security in recent years, and those so-called big circles have robbed homes and houses in Hong Kong, and there are robbers almost every week. Because the big circle dares to fight and has heavy weapons in their hands, even ordinary police officers can't do anything about them, which has caused great panic among Hong Kong citizens.
Last year, Mak Dangxiong judged the situation and started filming a "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" with the theme of big circles. Although the box office was not too high, it also caused quite a stir when it was released.
Han Jin also knows that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and Hong Kong people's prejudice against the mainland is not developed in a day, nor can it be resolved by a few simple words by himself. In fact, even after the handover, Hong Kong's ties with the mainland have increased, but Hong Kong people still have a deep prejudice against the mainland.
So he waved his hand, "Alright, alright, don't talk about it anymore." After speaking, he looked at the Seiko watch in his hand and couldn't help but be stunned.
Han Jin used to wear a Rolex given by Zeng Huaqian, but after he became the spokesperson of Seiko watches, he changed to Seiko watches. However, the one he was wearing was a limited-edition diamond gold watch, no worse than a designer watch such as Patek Philippe.
"It's strange, the awards ceremony was held at six o'clock, and now it's already five forty-five, why haven't the people from Golden Harvest, New Art City and Shaw Brothers come yet?" Han Jin said suspiciously.
"I don't know, shouldn't I come?" Wang Jing said suddenly.
"Why, like this annual filmmaker festival, why don't they come?" Han Jin asked in surprise.
"Well, if you look at the shortlist for this year's awards ceremony, almost all of them are dominated by leftist film companies. Golden Harvest and New Arts City were not shortlisted for a few items, only Shaw Brothers was relatively strong, but Sir Shao no longer paid attention to movies. This time, there is little hope that he may personally lead a delegation to participate in the Academy Awards. Wang Jing analyzed.
Han Jin couldn't help but nod when he heard this. Indeed, the path taken by the Academy Awards now is too literary. The shortlisted films such as "The Year of Water", "Fate", "Waiting for the Dawn", "Shanghai Night", etc., are not traditional commercial films, and the literary atmosphere is very strong.
However, Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest are mainly commercial films, such as last year's best-selling movies "Plan A", "Best Partner: The Queen's Secret Order" and so on, which were very good at the box office, but they were not even shortlisted.
However, leftist films and Shaw Brothers have each been shortlisted for so many awards with a few films that are not blockbusters, which naturally disappoints the two companies of New Arts City and Golden Harvest, so it is really possible not to attend this awards ceremony.
This also shows that the Academy Awards are not authoritative enough now, and they can't deter these film companies at all. The store is big and bullying, and the big customer can also bully the store.
Now Golden Harvest and New Arts City are the two largest film companies in Hong Kong, almost monopolizing more than 80% of the box office in Hong Kong. So they have that strength not to bird this Academy Award.
Han Jin is also a little dissatisfied with the selection of the Academy Awards, and has selected so many literary films to be shortlisted, but there is not even a commercial film. It's no wonder that this award almost couldn't be held, it's just a group of media people messing around.
In contrast, although the Academy Awards also prefer literary films, they also try to balance business and literature as much as possible. And people have long established their authority, even if they prefer literary films, no one dares to refuse to participate. It's like this Academy Award, before the wings grow hard, they already want to fly willfully, no wonder they almost fell to death. (To be continued......)
