All the way back to the company. ±

"Jin Shao, early~" The secretary saw him and hurriedly stood up and greeted.

"Immediately call a meeting of department managers." Han Jin said in a fiery manner.

"Director Wang, they're still filming on the set." The secretary hurriedly reported.

Han Jin glared at her with her eyes, so frightened that she didn't dare to be verbose immediately, and directly picked up the phone.

Back in the office, the more Han Jin thought about it, the more angry he became.

It is easy for me to use the method of the three-line alliance to tie the fence tightly and prevent Taiwanese film companies from taking advantage of it.

Unexpectedly, Golden Harvest opened the door to steal, lure the wolf into the room, and lured the Taiwanese film merchants in.

It's really in response to the old saying, no thief can't attract ghosts.

was angry, Yu Zheng and Zhang Guozhong, who stayed in the company, had already rushed over first.

Seeing Han Jin's face turned blue, he didn't dare to say more, just said hello, and then sat on the sofa quietly.

After waiting for another half an hour, the new cinema manager Ji Guodong also arrived.

But Han Jin didn't speak all the time, just looked at his watch impatiently.

The atmosphere in the office was very depressing, which made Yu Zheng and Zhang Guozhong a little uneasy, and they didn't know why Han Jin was angry.

At this moment, I heard footsteps, and then the office door was pushed open, and Wang Jing walked in, "Ah Jin, are you looking for me?" ”

Han Jin nodded, "Sit down." ”

Wang Jing saw that his face was not safe, and he couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart, and then sat on the sofa as well.

Han Jin glanced at the four of them, "Have you all read today's newspaper?" ”

The four of them looked at each other, not knowing what Han Jin meant by asking.

"I asked if you had seen it!" Han Jin said loudly unhappily.

"Look, look!" Zhang Guozhong and Yu Zheng were both startled and hurriedly said.

Wang Jing and Ji Guodong both shook their heads. Wang Jing hasn't slept well for two days because he was busy filming the final scene, so how can he have time to read the newspaper again.

Ji Guodong has just taken office and is busy getting familiar with the business, so naturally he has no time to read the newspaper.

Han Jin then threw the newspaper over, "If you haven't read it, read it to me again." ”

Wang Jing and Ji Guodong hurriedly took it. Then I looked at it hurriedly.

The big news is yesterday's Macau Grand Prix, as well as subway construction, loan sharks, celebrity dinners and the like.

I checked around, but I didn't find any valuable news.

Wang Jing naturally knew that it was impossible for Han Jin to lose his temper for no reason, and it was impossible for him to let himself read the newspaper for no reason, so he hurriedly read it from the beginning and was unwilling to read it again, only then did he notice the news that Golden Harvest had introduced funds from Taiwanese film companies.

If there is only one news that can make Han Jin pay attention, it is probably only this one.

However, Hong Kong films have always used funds from Taiwanese film companies. At that time, director Li Hanxiang was invited by Taiwanese film companies to go to Taiwan to found the Guolian Film Company; The great director Zhang Che also took his disciples to Taiwan to open Longbow Film Company; Director Hu Jinquan also went to Taiwan to shoot "Legend in the Mountains"; New Arts City has also opened a branch in Taiwan......

This is all a very normal thing, I don't understand why Han Jin is so nervous, is it because the newspaper said, "Golden Harvest surpassed Xinyicheng and Yongsheng to become the largest film company in Hong Kong again?" ”

"Ah Jin, this is all nonsense in the newspaper, no matter how Golden Harvest develops, it will be good. Nor can it surpass ours. We have a lot more money than they do. Wang Jing said with a smile.

Han Jin couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, even Wang Jing didn't see the severity of the situation. It's no wonder that Hong Kong films in the previous life went downhill. None of these filmmakers have a long-term vision.

Wang Jing saw Han Jin shaking his head and sighing, and he knew that he had slapped the horse's leg on the horse's leg, and he didn't shoot it in the right place at all, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense at the moment.

"Jin Shao, what troubles do you have, you might as well say it directly." Yu Zheng said. She really didn't see anything serious about it.

Now that the Hong Kong film market is doing well, Taiwanese film companies are willing to invest, which is a very good thing. Just like Hong Kong's economic take-off, it is also necessary to attract foreign investment. People are optimistic about your prospects, so they will be willing to invest in you. Otherwise, people won't care if you live or die.

"Are you still complacent because Taiwanese filmmakers have invested in Hong Kong films?" Han Jin asked, "You don't want to think about how Taiwanese movies died back then." ”

The four ......of them looked at each other, and they all felt that Han Jin was a little worried.

This is Hong Kong, not Taiwan.

Taiwanese film companies may be able to call for wind and rain in Taiwan, but the Raptors can't suppress the snake, and they must abide by Hong Kong's rules when they come to Hong Kong.

Just because they can mess around in Taiwan doesn't mean they can mess around in Hong Kong.

"I don't have enough energy, so I can't help but worry too much." Zhang Guozhong said, "The decline of Taiwanese films is indeed related to the fact that Taiwanese film companies pursue commercial interests too much, making some bad films, broken films, and following the trend to deceive the audience, but the bigger reason is that the Taiwan government does not support it." Their entertainment tax is set too high, so that Taiwanese studios only dare to make small-budget films, so they can't compete with Hong Kong films. ”

The Taiwanese government's tax on movies is 30% of the box office, and the remaining 70% is distributed by producers and theater operators. In this way, the distribution is halved, and the producer can only get three-and-a-half percent of the box office. This means that a movie can only make money if it reaches three times its cost at the box office.

And how difficult it is for the box office of a movie to reach three times the cost. For example, the cost of Cheng Long's movies is often calculated in the tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and if it is produced and distributed in Taiwan, it needs to get hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars at the box office to recover the cost. It's just a fantasy, an impossible thing.

Yongsheng Entertainment has invested in a lot of movies in recent years, and all blockbusters such as "Sky Stealing Project" and "Magic Jade" have not earned more than three times the box office. On the contrary, it is "Women's Heart", "Xi Bao", "The True Story of the Crazy Guy", etc., but the yield alone is higher than these blockbusters.

Therefore, in order to make money, Taiwanese filmmakers can only invest in small-budget films. Because only small-budget films can achieve more than three times the box office. The higher the cost of the movie, the less likely it is to double the money.

Compared with Taiwan, Hong Kong's film tax is only 10%. As long as a movie can reach more than twice the cost at the box office, it can make money for the producer.

And Hong Kong movies are very good in the market now, and the box office of the movies is very good. It is also very popular in overseas markets. So it's not hard at all to reach more than twice the box office.

Major film companies can make money, so Hong Kong films have only developed faster and faster in recent years, and more and more funds have been invested in them.

Han Jin knew that what Zhang Guozhong said had a certain truth.

Hong Kong films are indeed thriving and thriving now.

The injection of funds from Taiwanese film companies will only make this fire more and more prosperous. In response to the saying, "Everyone gathers firewood, and the flame is high." ”

But if the fire is too strong, it may not be a good thing.

Hong Kong movies are like a pot of meat on a fire.

If the fire is bigger, it is indeed easy to make the meat cook faster and taste faster.

But if the fire is too big, it will be easy to boil the pan.

When the soup is dry, the meat will be scorched by the fire below, and no one will want to eat it in the pot anymore.

Han Jin set up a third-line alliance before, just to control the speed of Tianchai.

But now Jiahe didn't care about it, and suddenly added a lot of firewood underneath.

None of the firewood has yet to ignite. The power has not yet been revealed.

But after a while, the firewood burns, and it will be difficult to extinguish the fire.

Han Jin knows that they don't understand these truths, if he is not a person who has crossed over, now he will be very happy when he sees someone investing in Hong Kong films, and he will even be proud of it.

But after experiencing his previous life, he learned that Taiwanese film companies were involved in Hong Kong films. What a terrible thing it is.

"You don't want to be overjoyed just to see someone investing." Han Jin said. "Did you know that there is an investment called hot money?"

Wang Jing and the others all nodded.

Hong Kong is a financial center in the world, and almost everyone has the experience of trading stocks, and they are still familiar with the term "hot money".

The so-called "hot money" is floating capital, which is scientifically called speculative short-term funds. Just look at the name, hot money is speculative, and it is also short-term money. As fast as a month. As short as half a year, it is required to see efficiency.

However, it will take at least ten or twenty years for a market to grow from scratch and develop.

Hong Kong films have risen since the 50s and have developed to today's achievements. It took more than thirty years. It is the efforts of generations of filmmakers that have led to the current atmosphere.

Their investments are long-term, stable, and big-picture. Just like Shaw Brothers, it took ten years to invest in the construction of Shaw Brothers studios. There are fourteen large studios in it, a Republic of China Street, a costume street, and its own editing room, dubbing room, printing company, and so on.

Except for the film that needs to be purchased at Kodak, Shaw Brothers can make any movie at Shaw Studios without any external force. This is such a large family business that Shao Yifu spent half his life building.

It was precisely because of the sight of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, the largest movie city in Asia, that American newspapers called Hong Kong the Hollywood of the East. And before that, in fact, Japanese films have always been better than Hong Kong films.

And such a ten-year-long investment, the return on investment may take ten or twenty years, which is naturally not what "hot money" investors think. They all pursue short-term investments, just want to quickly heat up the market, and once the market is facing a collapse, they immediately exit with loot.

Because Hong Kong is one of the five major financial centers in the world, hot money can circulate unrestricted, so the Hong Kong stock market is often disturbed by hot money. Because of this, Hong Kong's shareholders are also deeply affected by it, and often become the target of hot money harvesting.

They quickly speculate on the stock market, and then wait for investors to follow the trend and buy, and then take the opportunity to sell and leave. Every time Hong Kong shareholders are damaged, even Wang Jing and others have suffered from excessive hot money.

So now listening to Han Jin's regard the funds of Taiwanese film companies as "hot money", Wang Jing and others suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Ah Jin, if they are really hot money, then what should we do?" Wang Jing asked in surprise.

"There is a saying that it is better to raise the soup to stop the boiling than to draw the salary from the bottom of the kettle," Han Jin said, "But now it is a little difficult for us to draw the salary from the bottom of the kettle, and the funds of Taiwanese film companies have come in, and I am afraid that it will not be so easy to get out again." So now we have to add water to the pot first, hoping to boil a little longer. ”

"How do you raise the soup to stop boiling?" Yu Zheng asked suspiciously.

Han Jin smiled, "There are not many themes in Hong Kong movies now, let's strive to develop a few more themes, divide a few more stoves, and don't let the fire be concentrated on one stove." ”

"Now the market for Hong Kong films is not big enough, we will explore more markets in the future, and I am ready to set foot in the mainland market next."

"There are not enough Hong Kong film practitioners now, and there are only a few first-line stars, which is obviously not enough. Look at Hollywood in the United States, how many stars and big names are there, and under them, how many second-, third-, fourth-tier and even unfamous tricks are there? ”

"Jin Shao said it too well, and only you are so sincere for the sake of Hong Kong movies." Yu Zheng said admiringly.

"Ah Jin, is this enough?" Wang Jing asked.

Han Jin waved his hand, "These are just palliatives, and if you want to cure the root cause, you have to play the trick of 'drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle'." Golden Harvest introduced the capital of Taiwanese film companies without our consultation, making it clear that they did not take us seriously. Guozhong, from today onwards, come over to the people who dig Jiahe for me. It doesn't matter if he's a star, director, screenwriter, cinematographer, editor, props...... One counts as one!
