Chapter 589: Work Arrangement
readx;
To be honest, the level of movies on the mainland side is actually very polarized. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn terms of advantageous projects and skills, the mainland side is definitely the best existence in the world. Even if Hollywood wants to make some big scenes, at least it is difficult to do it now, and with the development of computer special effects in the future, such a gap will gradually be erased. But at least for now, the United States does not have any advantage in this regard.
Thinking about the large-scale TV series or movies filmed in the mainland, the grandeur of the scenes is not a task that a film company can undertake alone. But on the mainland side, the number of movies and TV series with brilliant scenes is quite large. is like a TV series like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", if it is put in the United States, it can directly scare many TV drama production companies and TV stations to death. Those manpower and material resources alone can make those guys scratch their scalps.
But a TV series like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is actually not the most magnificent clip in the mainland entertainment industry, the really magnificent clip is the kind of black-and-white old movie, the movie that promotes the main theme, those movies, as soon as they come out, are tens of thousands of people, put under the camera, the dense momentum, can scare a group of people. Maybe there is nothing to praise in the film skills, but the key people are topics that cannot be avoided no matter what.
The mainland is directly able to pull in active troops to carry out filming tasks, which company has such a capability in the United States? Only a socialist country can have such confidence. And not all socialist countries can have such confidence.
And in terms of weakness, it is also very strange. Even the main movies in the mainland this year are basically movies with the main theme, while movies in other aspects have not developed at all, and even many so-called movies of other types are basically selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, which is also counted on the main theme movies, as for the experience of other movies, they are basically disjointed. It can even be said that now the mainland wants to independently complete a movie that is not the main theme, telling other types of movies, and it is difficult to ensure the quality under the independent completion. These are completely different concepts from Hong Kong.
Although the film genre in Hong Kong is not very comprehensive, at least it can be regarded as a feeling of a hundred flowers. And the movies on the mainland side can't even find such a feeling, otherwise, there would be no co-productions.
There are actually many reasons for the emergence of co-productions in the mainland, and one of the reasons is that the mainland is now open, and if you want to make other types of films, you can't find such talents at all, which led to the birth of co-productions, to put it bluntly, just to learn some experience. It's a pity that Hong Kong's experience in this area is not very good, and the vast majority of Hong Kong filmmakers are not willing to exchange these things that have little practical significance, and cherish them behind closed doors.
Li Mingbao naturally does not have such a concept, Hong Kong's local filmmakers are really a little childish in this regard. In Li Mingbao's view, if the mainland really learns a lot of experience, it will have countless benefits for the Hong Kong film industry. After all, the mainland's film market is prosperous, and there is a Hong Kong film market. If the mainland's film market does not reach a certain level, the mainland side will not be willing to let Hong Kong films squeeze in, fearing that it will not have the power to resist, so it will directly close the door in this regard. But if the mainland thinks that it has the ability, then the opening of the market will become an inevitable thing, then the Hong Kong film industry will be the first batch of films to enter the mainland.
Of course, these words and thoughts are just in Li Mingbao's mind, and they will not be spoken. That will offend people, and there will be no good words, in this case, why should Li Mingbao care so much about other people's affairs? As long as you can live a nourishing life, other people can love as much as they want. Just like the sixth uncle, if they are willing to let Li Mingbao help, Li Mingbao will help, if they are unwilling, Li Mingbao will not do more.
Li Mingbao's thoughts were also instantaneous. Jiang Zhiqiang listened to Li Mingbao's words at this time, and began to say again: "What do you think about the attitude of the mainland film industry, boss?" ”
"If you can help, you can help, and if you can cooperate, you can cooperate. Forming a good relationship with the mainland film industry is of great benefit to our company. After all, the mainland market is really too covetous, as long as the reform and opening up continues, maybe in the future, most of the income of our film and television city will come from the mainland. Therefore, we need to do our best in terms of the attitude of the mainland, and it is best not to have anything to do with the Hong Kong film industry. Just as we are an independent company, from a neutral point of view. In this way, it is the fundamental thing to ensure the long-term prosperity of our company.
After all, although the Hong Kong film industry seems to be prosperous now, it is inevitably a bit mixed. Many Hong Kong film companies like to work against the mainland and come up with some smear movies, and in this regard, although our United Cinema Chain has been avoiding it, the people who occasionally appear are also very hateful. At present, a large part of our company's funds are placed on the mainland, and if our industry is implicated because of the Hong Kong film industry, it will be a big trouble. So what we need to do is to let the mainland side understand that the attitude of the Hong Kong film industry is not the attitude of our company, and the attitude of our company must be consistent with that of the mainland. Li Mingbao said slowly.
"In this way, it is not a big deal for our company to maintain the same attitude between the industry on the mainland side and the mainland. After all, everyone eats in the mainland, and if there is trouble because of some problems, it will definitely be us who will suffer in the end, after all, this is the home of the mainland.
But in Hong Kong, there is trouble. Just like Li Sheng, you said, many people in the film industry in Hong Kong are not so cold to the mainland, if they offend the mainland, what should the mainland do when the time comes? Unless we abandon the industries in Hong Kong and really have no connection, otherwise it will be too easy for the mainland to find fault with this. Jiang Zhiqiang said worriedly.
"Completely abandoning Hong Kong's industries is not going to work for our company, at least not for now. Although the industrial profitability of Hong Kong is not of much use to our company, after all, the profitability of the United States can throw off Hong Kong eight streets.
But the influence of the Hong Kong film industry is something we need to value, after all, the film industry in Hong Kong is different from before, especially the existence of circulation ports, to a large extent, the industry strength of Hong Kong can be regarded as the central area of East Asian films, and our company cannot be separated from this central area if it wants to develop well.
Regarding this matter, after we return to Hong Kong, we have to discuss with Uncle Six and make some necessary regulations in the United Cinema Line. The kind of movie that is obviously smearing the mainland, we have joined the theater chain, and we can refuse to play it at all.
After all, the profitability of these movies is not very high, and for the sake of such a little money, they offend the mainland to death. I don't think Uncle Six will be happy to see such a situation, if we reveal such a regulation, then those filmmakers who want to make money will not be idiots to continue to follow such a crooked path. Unless they make such a movie, it is not for the sake of making money, but for the sake of discredit. For such people, we are even more unable to let them get involved, unless the British government in Hong Kong comes forward, otherwise, we must strictly control this aspect of things. The good situation of the Hong Kong film industry cannot be ruined by these guys.
Filmmakers must have the consciousness of filmmakers, it is okay to make movies, and bring their own political views, then it will not work. I don't want to think about what kind of place Hong Kong is, we can't control your freedom of speech, but the things in the movie, then we can still manage it, they are all small people, and they have to get involved in the struggle of big countries, thinking that they don't die fast enough? A person with a clear mind has no reason for him to make money in the film industry. In fact, what I hope most is that Hong Kong's film industry will remain neutral, whether it is praising Hong Kong and Britain or praising the mainland, or belittling Hong Kong and Britain and belittling the mainland. They don't need to show up, it's just a mess of food, why rise to such a height, we can't afford to mix it up, and the people below think they're saviors. Li Mingbao said very dissatisfied.
In fact, Li Mingbao hates those who are obviously small people, but they have to point fingers at the general trend of the country and jump out to flatter them. They don't get any benefits except for eyeballs, but they prefer to do it. To tell the truth, Hong Kong's real bigwig-level figures rarely get involved in such things, they all aim to make money, and as for political things, for them, if they meet their own political conditions, they are naturally welcome, and if they do not meet their own political conditions, of course they must be opposed. In general, for them, politics is the continuation of interests, not interests are the continuation of politics.
It is only a few small people who think that politics is great and glorious. If they are mixed, then they are also glorious. In fact, in the eyes of those in real power, these guys are simply clowns, and they don't even need to look at them, let alone satisfy their political needs, which is simply a joke.
It's like the so-called Hong Kong independence elements that emerged 30 years later. They were making a lot of noise in Hong Kong, and it seemed that the effect was good, and even many big foreign newspapers were reporting on it, as if it was very popular. In fact, those who make a fuss and harm the interests of themselves are actually themselves and those civilians in Hong Kong. Mainlanders who don't go to Hong Kong for travel and shopping are not mainlanders who suffer in the end, anyway, if they don't go to Hong Kong, they can go to other places, and if Hong Kong doesn't have these people's consumption, can they still go to other places to eat? Li Mingbao doesn't want to see this kind of person who hurts others and is not good at all.
