Volume 1 Chapter 431 Unexpected Joy (II)

However, these have nothing to do with Lin Xiaozhi for the time being, and he was also taken aback when he heard Xie Tieli introduce Han Sanping. stared at him carefully and looked at him a few more times, and found that it was really a little similar to the future head of China Film Group in his impression, because it was a little less majestic and imposing than he remembered, but more rustic, no wonder he didn't recognize it at once, but he felt a little familiar at first glance.

Although I am curious about why Han Sanping, who will be in charge of Beijing Film Studio after this year, how did he get that position a few years in advance. However, Lin Xiaozhi thought about the unrecognizable appearance of the Hong Kong film industry that has been changed by him, and thought about the Beijing Film Group, which was born in place of China Film a few years in advance, and his curiosity was reduced a lot

I had the heart to chat with the future head of China Film, but just as I was about to speak, a few hotel waiters came over with a dining cart and put plates of freshly baked dishes with various aromas on the table, as well as champagne, red wine and rare white wine from the mainland. Looking around the audience, Lin Xiaozhi found that many people were gluttonous, and Zhilu Dao missed the opportunity to chat with Han Sanping, but in a blink of an eye, he thought that the delegation was going to stay in Hong Kong for a while, and there would always be an opportunity to talk in the future, so he didn't care at the moment.

In the past few years in Hong Kong, he has been accustomed to drinking champagne with a low degree of alcohol, Lin Xiaozhi took the lead in standing up and delivering a speech with a glass of wine poured by the waiter, saying: "Everyone, being able to dine with you at the same table here on this day worthy of a big book is the result of the joint efforts of the film industry in Hong Kong and the mainland. Most of you here are from the mainland, and although Hong Kong and the mainland are one family, due to some problems left over from history, Hong Kong is still under the rule of the British government in Hong Kong, and there are still a few years before the return to the motherland. ”

"In the past, although the mainland film industry took the initiative to initiate several exchanges with the Hong Kong film industry, it is a pity that due to the limitations of values and various human reasons, several exchanges ended in failure, which is a pity for the mainland film industry, and it is not the same for us in Hong Kong. In March, Lin was fortunate enough to lead a team to visit the mainland, and at that time he had an exchange with Beijing on this point, and cooperation and exchanges must be restarted, and no one can obey this order, because to block it is to block the general trend of history and to block Hong Kong's return to the motherland. Lin doesn't read much, and I just hold high Chinese in the mainland, but I still understand this truth. Therefore, this time, I and the whole world are very happy to hear that the mainland is preparing to send an inspection delegation to the south, because it means that the opportunity for exchanges and mutual learning between the mainland film industry and the Hong Kong film industry, which has been interrupted for several years, has come again. ”

"Please rest assured that during my visit to the North, I reached some agreements with the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television on exchanges and cooperation between the film circles of the two places, and set up a special fund to support and encourage mainland filmmakers to come to Hong Kong for study and exchange. So in the past few months in Hong Kong, we at Media Asia Group have rented an entire apartment to house you. In terms of eating, we have arranged a unified order for breakfast, and it will be delivered to the accommodation on time every morning, but the diet in Hong Kong is more focused on Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so if there are friends in the north who are not used to eating, please forgive me. Lunch and dinner will be held in the crews of their respective students, together with the filmmakers here in Hong Kong. Each person from the Film Exchange Fund will provide a basic subsidy of HK$1,000 per month each month, which is not included in their salaries and salaries during their studies in Hong Kong. In short, I hope that you can learn more things in the next few months of communication and learning, and at the same time leave a beautiful memory. ”

After he finished speaking, the sound of the conversation below could no longer be suppressed. Although the voice is very chaotic, it can be heard that there is a lot of excitement and joy, and Lin Xiaozhi also understands this very well, because the conditions he gave are the treatment that mainland filmmakers never dared to imagine before.

Zhilu can't say much, it's time to end. Facing the eyes that fell on him, he raised his wine glass and said loudly: "Then, let's drink a full glass of wine together, and then let's let go of our bellies and enjoy the food here in Hong Kong."

"Good ......"

"Yu"

I have to say that after several years of training, Lin Xiaozhi's ability to grasp the atmosphere of this occasion is very handy.

Putting the wine glass on the table, Lin Xiaozhi looked at the lively atmosphere, smiled and said to Xie Tieli, who was sitting next to him: "After I go back, please also ask Mr. Xie to tell the above that there should be more such exchanges between the mainland and the Hong Kong film industry." Hong Kong is good at shooting commercial films, and our films can bring billions of box office from all over the world every year, maybe we are not as good as our counterparts in the mainland in terms of manpower and resources, but the Hong Kong film industry has also summed up a set of successful experience, and it is by relying on it to fight a bloody road. The mainland is rich in resources, and the places of interest and historic sites and beautiful landscapes are beyond Hong Kong's reach, so when I first stepped into the film industry, I told the people around me that the mainland's film market has a lot to offer in the future, not only will it surpass Hong Kong by several times or ten times, but it may even become rich with the reform and opening up, and it may even become the second largest market in the world, second only to the United States. This is not my own foolish words, now the second largest market in the world is the United Kingdom, but the United Kingdom has a population of only tens of millions, and the gap between Japan in the third place is already very small, not surprisingly, that is, in the past two years, Japan will take over the glory of the second largest box office market in the world from the United Kingdom, and the mainland has a population of more than one billion, once the people become rich, I believe they will prove that what I said is not delusional

Yes, not only is it not delusional, but it is a prophecy in advance.

Reborn, he clearly remembers that in the year of the year of Japan's box office market of 100 million dollars, it deservedly ranked second in the world, and China had surpassed Britain with 19 in that year. With a box office of $8.5 billion, it became the third largest in the world. In the following year, China's box office revenue surged by US$2.7 billion year-on-year, while Japan lost to China in the same period, officially handing over the second place in the world. In the 13 years before his rebirth, it soared to l yuan, far behind the second Japan, and became one of the most favored overseas markets for Hollywood movies.

This is still in the case of rampant piracy, no wonder even the Yankees mentioned the Chinese film market, while satirizing piracy, they had to bow their heads and hope that radio and television would open up more imported films. It's a pity that that year, Hong Kong movies have long become yesterday's yellow flowers, and occasionally a box office or word-of-mouth movie pops up, which can only make more people remember that there was once a movie called 'Oriental Hollywood, and the film capital was called Hong Kong, that's all.

The disapproving eyes of everyone present were in their eyes, and Lin Xiaozhi didn't care, time will tell, what he needed to do before him was at least to add a fire to this general trend and earn more wealth for himself.

In the past two years, the mainland has been constantly attacking reforms, and even his own confidence has been shaken, so reformers like Xie Tieli, who have opened their eyes to the world, do not agree with his statement that the mainland will become the second largest market in the world in the future. He didn't answer this topic, but he heard Lin Xiaozhi's expectations for cooperation with the mainland in Lin Xiaozhi's words just now. He had a good impression of Lin Xiaozhi, and immediately made a pair of eyes with Lu Li and Han Sanping next to him, and then said with a smile: "Indeed, the mainland has the rich resources that Hong Kong needs, and Hong Kong films also have mature experience that our mainland film industry urgently needs. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Li, the general manager of Beiying Group, also suddenly opened his mouth: "What Xie Lao said is right, our Beiying Group's southward investigation this time is out of this consideration. Mr. Lin had previously proposed to the leaders of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television that he hoped that the mainland could introduce some Hong Kong films to be released in the mainland every year, and our senior management of Beijing Film Group felt that this suggestion was very good, and had been communicating with the leaders of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television some time ago, and finally obtained approval not long ago and got three quotas for introducing films. This time, I also have a task to get in touch with the Media Asia Group, and we will prepare the first three films to be imported from Media Asia."

"Really?" Lin Xiaozhi was overjoyed when he heard this, this was really an unexpected joy.

He knows that mainland movies will be opened to the outside world sooner or later, after all, the whole country has opened up to the outside world in the reform and opening up, and it is impossible for your film to be open all the time, so when he went north in March, he failed to reach a consensus with the mainland, and he was not discouraged.

It's just that opening early and opening late, and entering early and entering late, are two completely different things. Being able to enter the mainland when Hong Kong films were at their most glorious in 199l, and being able to enter the screening only after the full decline of Hong Kong films in 0l in history will produce two completely different results.

Seeing that he didn't seem to believe it, Lu Li, who didn't seem to be smiling, had to nod his head again and answer him: "It's true, so Mr. Lin, if it's convenient, I'll disturb you for some time in the next few days."

In one sentence, it completely proved that what he heard just now was not an auditory hallucination, and at the same time, it also made Lin Xiaozhi have some thoughts in his heart.

After visiting the north in March, after getting the approval of the mainland for Media Asia to build a theater in the mainland, he immediately allocated funds and sent people to the north to set up a branch, but it was not only to supervise the construction of the theater, but also had a task on the side of the branch, which was to keep an eye on the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television and the Beijing Film Group, and immediately feedback to him at the slightest disturbance.

Around his previous point of view on the introduction of Hong Kong films from the mainland, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television had a heated discussion, although some people nodded but the opposition was even louder, even after the establishment of the Beijing Film Group, it could not overshadow the opposition.

If you don't approve it early, you won't approve it when you play. However, in the flood in East China, Lin Xiaozhi donated a huge amount of money to the limelight for a while, and only approved Huo Yingdong and Li Jiacheng after they were overwhelmed.

Now it seems that his political show was a success.
