The screening momentum of "Dao Ma Dan" is even better and more prosperous than "Happy Ghost", when a week comes, the box office statistics show that it is 7.06 million, and "Happy Ghost" is only 6.85 million.

"Happy Ghost" and "Dao Ma Dan" are opponents in the summer file, what "Rush Oil Tip District", "Retired Detective", "Young Master Weiwei", "Martial Arts Holy Fire Order", "Heavenly Master Collides with Evil", "Uncle and Nephew. Suffocation", "Wind and Water", "Shaolin and Wudang", "Men and Women", etc., whether it is from Xinyicheng, Shaw Brothers, or Siyuan, they have all been beaten to pieces at the box office and collapsed.

So much so that many filmmakers shouted: "The summer file is the summer file of the Time and Space Film Studio, and it is Lin Jing's summer file." ”

Now in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the golden age of movies is coming.

In recent years, it has become clear that the total annual box office revenue of Hong Kong films has been increasing, especially after entering the 80s.

In 198o, Hong Kong's total annual box office revenue was more than 184.3 million Hong Kong dollars, and in 1981, Hong Kong's total annual box office revenue was more than 24191 million Hong Kong dollars, and last year in 1982 it was more than 429.61 million Hong Kong dollars.

And with the boom of Hong Kong's economy, the box office revenue of movies will continue to rise higher and higher, until the early 90s, when it peaked, and then slowly declined in the mid-90s.

The decline of Hong Kong films seems to be a doomed thing.

Although Lin Jing is a time-traveler, she does not think that she is a "savior" and can save Hong Kong movies because of this.

In fact, Lin Jing is not a pessimist, but in her opinion, the decline of Hong Kong films is a doomed fate that cannot be escaped. Because the decline of Hong Kong films cannot be changed by one person, just as movies cannot be made by one person.

In Lin Jing's view, Hong Kong is like a miniature version of the United States, the United States is a migrant, and Hong Kong, because of historical reasons, since the beginning of the 20th century, there have been people from all over the mainland who have either fled or fled to Hong Kong, or live in seclusion or retreat to Hong Kong, and many of these people are very outstanding talents.

But Hong Kong is different from the United States, which is big enough that no matter how many talented people arrive, it can accommodate and digest it. And Hong Kong is too small, a very small place, and more people will have to hold on.

It is precisely the exhibition of the film industry that needs a steady stream of outstanding talents to enter so that it will not decline. Because Hong Kong is too small and has too few resources, when there are many people who come to Hong Kong, it will not be able to accept more people.

Ask the canal to be as clear as promised, for there is a source of living water.

And when the group of talents who came to Hong Kong slowly grew old, Hong Kong, a cultural desert, gradually exposed its foundation, and the locally cultivated talents were not enough to call it such a large-scale economic need.

Of course, there are many reasons for the decline of Hong Kong films, such as the small local film market in Hong Kong, such as piracy, such as filmmakers following the trend of shoddy filming, such as the inaction of Hong Kong and Britain and political axes, such as the impact of Hollywood movies......

But the cultivation of talents can't keep up with the film industry, which is the fundamental reason for the decline of Hong Kong films in Lin Jing's opinion.

Movies are made by people, and without people, there is no movie.

Hong Kong is not called a cultural desert for no reason, its heritage is too thin, just like a kingdom built on sand, and its glory can only be temporary.

In later generations, in the 21st century, the Hong Kong government realized that Hong Kong had to change its policies in order to maintain its status, so the Open University accepted outstanding talents from the mainland.

But that's all for the future, and now Hong Kong movies are making efforts, and they are constantly setting off new box office **.

It's just that these two movies have done well at the box office in Hong Kong, but whether it is "Happy Ghost" or "Dao Ma Dan", outside Hong Kong, there have been some troubles in other cities. And when it comes to the brunt, it is Taiwan opposite Hong Kong, the most important box office for Hong Kong films at this stage.

Time and Space Film Studio did not master the cinema chain, so whether it was "If the Wine Sells Nothing", or "Happy Ghost" and "Dao Ma Dan", it was all handed over to Golden Harvest. The trip of "If the Wine Sells Nothing" in Taiwan is also handed over to Golden Harvest because the Time and Space Film Studio has not established an effective channel with Taiwan.

Golden Harvest also has a cinema chain in Taiwan, but it cannot be compared with Hong Kong at all, so the release of "If the Dry Wine Sells Nothing" in Taiwan, in addition to the cinema chain of Golden Harvest, there are other merchants involved, and among the film companies participating in the line, there are shadows of Taiwan's four major state-owned merchants.

Taiwan's four major state-owned businessmen, because they have mastered the cinema chain covering the entire Taiwan, is equivalent to controlling the fate of a movie, so they are very domineering when making movies. For many films made by film companies, they ask for as much as 70% of the box office share, leaving only 30% for the film production company.

And this seventy percent is also established after the thirty percent film tax.

For example, if the total box office of a movie is 10 million, you must first pay 3 million in film tax, and the remaining 7 million, and the merchant will take 70%, which is nearly 5 million, and the remaining 2 million will be given to the film production company. And the film production company, it is likely that the cost of making the movie is two million.

Although the box office of "Dry Wine Sells Nothing" is very, very high, the income of Time and Space Film Studio, as its production company, is not high.

So when "Happy Ghost" and "Dao Ma Dan" were preparing for their release in Taiwan, Mo Ziqi, the executive officer of the Time and Space Film Studio, hesitated in front of Golden Harvest Company.

If the exercise of power in Taiwan continues to be handed over to Golden Harvest, maybe "Happy Ghost" and "Dao Ma Dan" will be big hits, but it is likely to have little to do with Time and Space Film Studio.

In order to maximize his interests, Mo Ziqi used his previous connections in Taiwan to find a rapidly rising company, Scholar Co., Ltd.

A local tyrant from Taiwan?!

When Lin Jing heard the names Cai Songlin from Mo Ziqi's mouth, such a thought immediately flashed through her mind.

Cai Songlin is a successful businessman, and Scholar Co., Ltd., which he founded in 198o, has produced two good films in the past few years, "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" and "A Thousand Knives".

Because Cai Songlin has strong financial resources and monstrous means, as well as black and white connections, although the Scholar Co., Ltd. has been established for a short time, it has developed very quickly, and it has a certain reputation among Taiwan's private film companies.

In Lin Jing's memory, in the 90s, this scholar company has not only become one of the best private film production companies, but also the largest private company in Taiwan.

Now that the scholar company has not yet become the giant in the future, it has a theater chain, but it does not have enough movies and enough good movies to be released, and cooperating with it, Time and Space Film Studio should be able to get the most benefits. (To be continued.) )
