Who is Asia's No. 1 superstar, I'm afraid nine and a half out of ten people say Cheng Long. This guy is not only not afraid of death, but also frighteningly energetic, filming a "Rush Hour" in Hollywood every two years, and the box office of each film is between 160 million and 200 million US dollars, and he also returns to Hong Kong every year to make a Hong Kong film, and the box office is also in the top three at the Hong Kong box office.

But if you want to say who is the number one actor in Asia, Fa Ge is well-deserved, the grand slam of the three major European actors, the Golden Globe Award winner plus the regret of the Oscar, so that actors all over Asia can only bow down.

If you add the success of the three directors Sun Ziming, Wu Yusen and Lau Wai-keung, as well as Li Zhi, Li Lianjie and Huang Wanqiu, Hong Kong has become a de facto Asian film center, attracting film talents from all over Asia to Hong Kong in search of opportunities. Ken Watanabe and Koyuki Kato first went to Hong Kong to shoot Hong Kong films, and then Golden Harvest and Debao recommended them to North American Light and Shadow. Now, with the success of The Last Samurai in North America, Ken Watanabe and Koyuki Kato have catapulted into international stars, and Asian actors have drawn to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is actually a small place, and the broadcast road is a narrow street. With the growth of the four major film companies, it is finally impossible to accommodate four film companies plus four TV stations, not to mention dozens of small and medium-sized film companies.

However, the Hong Kong government is also far-sighted, and seeing that the film and television industry has the possibility of becoming a pillar industry in Hong Kong, it immediately planned 12 square kilometers of land in the New Territories at a very low price to serve as offices and filming bases for the four major film companies and four television stations. Because of its dominance in the film and television industry, the light and shadow company naturally dominates, and one family occupies four square kilometers of land.

Sun Ziming, who had just gotten off the plane, was picked up by Uncle Zeng to the New Territories. Standing on a hill, overlooking the busy construction site, Sun Ziming has a feeling of being separated from the world.

Originally, after the handover, Hong Kong films went into decline, but I didn't expect that now it is becoming more and more prosperous, and it has actually become the center of Asia's film and television industry, not only attracting domestic and Southeast Asian film and television talents to develop here, but even Japanese directors and actors who have always been satisfied with the domestic market have come here to pan for gold.

"Uncle Zeng, what does the Hong Kong government think? Unless they allow mainland actors and technicians to come to Hong Kong freely, it will decay sooner or later. ”

The current Hong Kong movies seem to be full of flowers, but in fact, the crisis has emerged. The market in the mainland has begun to mature, and there are a large number of talents, and in addition to the relatively conservative political environment, the conditions for the great development of the film and television industry are already in place. In addition, in the past few years, Hong Kong filmmakers have gone north, bringing advanced production technology and experience, and it is only a matter of time before they catch up with and surpass Hong Kong films. At this time, it seems a bit out of place to focus on Hong Kong.

Uncle Zeng pointed to the mountain in the distance, and then pointed to the construction site at the bottom of the mountain, and jokingly said: "Hehe, you think about the gang of people in the Hong Kong government too simply." You see, on the back side of that mountain is Shenzhen, and they're going to build a tunnel to open up both sides, and then build a separation zone here to prevent people from the mainland from entering Hong Kong. In this way, we can use cheap labor from the mainland and keep the film company in Hong Kong.

Also, the Central side is too crowded now, and there are many people sightseeing in the mainland. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government plans to build a new urban area over there, so that mainland residents can come to Hong Kong to shop freely, instead of being crowded in the city center. In the future, mainland residents will come to Hong Kong for sightseeing and tourism in the city center, and come here to shop when they return, which can also promote the development of this area. ”

I understand that the land allocated to everyone is the bargaining chip given by the Hong Kong government, and I hope that everyone will continue to stay in Hong Kong for development, and contribute to their tax revenue, jobs, and international influence. Sooner or later, Hong Kong will have to be integrated with the mainland, and between the two big cities, there are several square kilometers of land, which is a very big temptation for any company, enough for Xiang Lao Shi and Zou Wenhuai to stay in Hong Kong. Anyway, the company's registered place and headquarters are the same, and those who should go to the mainland to shoot exterior scenes still go to the mainland, but the taxes are just handed over to the Hong Kong government.

With the presence of several major film companies, it can attract a large number of tourists by relying on stars, and with the bait of a new urban area, the Hong Kong government can induce those consortia to develop this film without paying for it, which is really a good calculation.

Profiteers and businessmen are different when they are the chief executives, as long as they don't have face! Sun Tzu praised it brightly and secretly, and also whispered: "Uncle Zeng, what is the reaction of the society to give us land like this?" ”

"What else can you do, now the economy is sluggish, the unemployment rate is 12 percent. Birds don't in this place, if there is no pull from the film and television base, how can it develop, and suddenly create tens of thousands of jobs? What the chief executive wants to do most now is to transform the economy and curb the abnormal development of the real estate industry. ”

"This is also true, if this area is developed, Hong Kong citizens can also get benefits, shrewd!"

After sighing a few words about the shrewdness of the businessman's chief executive, Sun Ziming asked about Southeast Asia. It's been nearly three months since the incident, so there should be a result, right?

Uncle Zeng took Sun Ziming's cigarette and sighed: "My own government is good, Southeast Asia just wanted to set up barriers for our films, and the Hong Kong government came forward to negotiate with them in conjunction with the Hong Kong office, and if they adopt a quota system, Hong Kong will increase the taxes and fees on their re-export goods." ”

Sun Ziming took a few puffs of cigarette and muttered: "So, the matter of Southeast Asian film quota has been completely resolved?" ”

Uncle Zeng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I can't talk about it, it's just that within five years, Hong Kong films and television can freely enter their market as before."

They asked to refer to the example with the mainland, and the two sides jointly produced zuò film and television dramas, which is why we are ready to build a film and television base here. If everyone cooperates, building a film and television base in their place, it is very likely that they will be controlled by others, and it is better to be on their own territory. Anyway, when the production was made, the exterior scenes were filmed in their local area, and the interior part came to Hong Kong, so the cost of some actors was not a big expense. ”

Well, that makes sense. Now that Southeast Asia's economy is sluggish, it is impossible to support their local film and television industry, and cooperating with Hong Kong is a shortcut. In addition, as long as Hong Kong's demands are not excessive, the central government will meet them, and even allow a large number of state-owned enterprises to list in Hong Kong in order to restore Hong Kong's economy. If trade protection is really pursued, the mainland government will inevitably sacrifice some of its interests and stand firmly on Hong Kong's side, and they may not be able to be ruthless and bear high entrepot taxes and fees.

Sun Ziming, who had thought clearly, turned around and asked Wang Fatzi, who had already begun to sweat, "Brother Jing, what is your opinion?" ”

Wang Fatzi, who was wide in heart and fat in body, had no opinion, wiped the dense beads of sweat on his forehead, and said dissatisfiedly: "I said it a long time ago, you will definitely agree, Ah Xiang will let you come here." walked away, went back to the company and talked about filming, and it was OK to throw these things to Ah Xiang. ”

This slippery head has not changed a little bit for more than ten years.

The three of them got into the air-conditioned bulletproof Mercedes-Benz, and Sun Zi Mingcai asked the question that there were many people just now and didn't ask, "Uncle Zeng, has Southeast Asia been completely messed up, and will not change a group of people to come to power, will you regret it?" ”
