Chapter 634: The Mountains Are High and the Waters Are Long
Li Mingbao can be regarded as self-blackened, if another person says such a thing, it is purely looking for death, and he will definitely be sprayed by a group of Hong Kong people. But for bigwigs like Li Mingbao, these hidden dangers are something that does exist. It is not a taboo topic, especially in front of President Lin, who has superior resources, there is no need to block it, and others are also senior industry professionals, where can they not know the current situation in Hong Kong? Comparing the mainland, you can clearly see the shortcomings of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, even if Li Mingbao doesn't say it, he understands it.
It's just that such a thing, knowing is knowing, and under normal circumstances, no one will say it. After all, the current situation on the mainland is not good, a place where the situation is not good, in turn, despises a well-developed place, and people who do not know the inside story see it and think that it is jealousy.
For Li Mingbao to be so frank, President Lin said with a smile: "Hong Kong's current situation is so good, there is definitely not only such a way to solve the problem, whether there is help from the mainland or not, for Hong Kong, it doesn't matter much, after all, Hong Kong is not as good as the mainland, the mainland's cooperation object is very narrow, but Hong Kong can learn from the world's experience, which is not comparable to our country." ”
"Yes, Hong Kong can indeed absorb all kinds of experience from other places, but then the cost is high, and the amount of money needed to improve the overall level of Hong Kong's entertainment industry is quite large, and it is not any boss who can make such a decision.
On the mainland, as long as there is a need, they can tighten their belts to get things done, and even if it costs a lot of money, as long as they can achieve the set goals, then it will be considered a success. But Hong Kong is a commercial society, everything must take into account the issue of cost, let alone businessmen, even if it is the Hong Kong government, do things have to consider the cost, in such a situation, it is obviously unrealistic to want Hong Kong people to do this like the mainland.
So even if you want to practice, you have to find a place where the cost of practice is low. Looking at the world, there is only the mainland where there can be such abundant capital as the mainland and the conditions for Xi are quite low, and other places can also be Xi, but in terms of cost, it is unacceptable. And on this, we have a sufficient basis for cooperation. Li Mingbao said with a smile.
"Why does Boss Li think that the cost of Xi in our country is low? If it's a big number at that time, wouldn't it be a disappointment for Boss Li? Principal Lin asked rhetorically.
"I'm not sure about other things, but I understand very well that compared to some things in the world, everything in the mainland is relatively cheaper, of course, the actual price of some things may be higher, but those things don't involve the entertainment industry, so I can rest assured." There is definitely a great foundation for the cooperation between the two sides. Otherwise, I have been so busy lately, and I wouldn't have come to inspect the school, Principal Lin, you say, right? Li Mingbao continued to say with a smile.
"Boss Li's words, but very honest, although we have not opened this aspect of things in China before, but as far as I think, this cost will not be big, after all, it is difficult to recruit even ordinary staff in the school now, those professors in the school, there is still a lot of energy to teach more staff, let Hong Kong compatriots come to Xi, for our school, it is not a big deal, a sheep is also a herd, a group of sheep is also put, as long as it does not exceed a certain standard, then the quality of teaching in our school can still be guaranteed. But the crux of the matter is that this aspect of the policy is not something that our school can lead. Principal Lin said for a long time, and then kicked the ball back to Li Mingbao's side.
If he wants to accept Hong Kong members, there is no problem, anyway, these members have to pay money when they come, and for the school that has always been poor, there is some extra income, and no one will object. Especially those who work in the entertainment industry, they are even more miserable than those professors and experts in other disciplines. Don't look at the professors and teachers of those art schools in later generations, it seems that they live very nourishingly, not only are they expensive, but they can also have an unspoken rule or something from time to time, plus some intertwined relationships, in this circle, the teachers of the school, that power is quite large, it is completely a hegemon-like existence, even those bosses in the film and television industry, they have to respect these teachers enough.
But that's just the teachers of later generations, at least the professors and teachers in art colleges now, who live quite unnourishingly, not to mention the high fees, even if it is difficult to recruit members, most of them are still insiders' women, such a staff structure, who dares to make some messy things out? Moisturizing or something, let alone talking about it, the film factory and the TV station have been having a hard time these years, and even their own employees are difficult to support, and many times they have to let the employees do some extra-fast business, selling popsicles, selling newspapers and other subsidized households.
They are all so virtuous, let alone taking care of the school, the teachers here in the school, if they really only have this job, it will be absolutely difficult to find a wife. If there are really Hong Kong staff to come, it doesn't take much, each member can contribute 20 yuan to them every month, then these teachers have to sleep and wake up laughing.
It's definitely not a joke, just talking about the research funds or something, it's enough to make the teachers of art schools cry to death, other subjects, even if it's some basic subjects such as language and mathematics, there are more or less some research funds funded from above, but the teachers of these art colleges are definitely raised by their mothers, even if the funds are allocated or something, it is difficult to fall on the heads of these schools, after all, art is a kind of thing, and only after the people are rich to a certain extent, there is a market, Everyone hasn't had enough to eat, who talks to you about art? That's all.
Even if it is the elegant art of ancient times, it doesn't get much opportunity to play, antiques or something, that is, the level of a few or thousands of yuan, this is still the price of fine. In this case, it is strange that the people above do not ignore the entertainment film and television industry, which was called the lower ninth rate in ancient times.
Of course, it's not that there is no funding at all, and when there is funding, it is usually political films, and those movies are willing to be allocated above, and as for other films, there is only hehehe.
So the school is not having a good time, and now that there is such an opportunity, if Principal Lin can't grasp it, then he won't be able to become the principal. But the risk of doing so is very great, as a person in the system, Principal Lin completely wants to eat meat, but is afraid of taking the blame, so when he has responsibility, he can only let Li Mingbao resist, if Li Mingbao does not resist these risks, then even if there are great benefits, Principal Lin will definitely not accept Li Mingbao. After all, Principal Lin is a person in the system, and political correctness is what he cares about the most, as for other things, it is still secondary, of course it is good to have it, and there is no way to do it.
Li Mingbao did not express his contempt for such a slippery approach, after all, it is not easy for others to sit in such a position now, if you want him to take risks, the benefits he has obtained are not very big, why should you let Principal Lin give you your life? Money is a thing that everyone needs, but when it comes to the level of Principal Lin, money is no longer the most important thing for him, anyway, no matter how hard it is, it is impossible to suffer from the principal, it is a merit to be able to do it, and it is not a mistake if it can't be done, there is no pressure, why are others so obedient.
Fortunately, Li Mingbao also expected this matter for a long time, and it will not be as simple as imagined, if the people on the mainland are so accumulated, then it is impossible for this matter to drag on until now, and even the overall pattern may change, and the mainland entertainment market will not have to be as hard as it is now.
"Policy or something, I don't think there should be any problem. Hong Kong members come to the mainland to learn things like that, and I don't think there are any restrictions on the rules. I remember that the schools in the mainland allow the existence of students, right? This should be a common behavior, and there are basically a lot of students in those colleges and universities, so I don't think art colleges will be an exception, right? The people who study in school are not all domestic students, right? There should be a lot of people who stay alive. Li Mingbao said lightly.
"Retention students, there are this, although there are not many students in our school, but there are dozens of them, but these students are usually sent by friendly countries, and some countries that have established diplomatic relations with our country have sent some students. Could it be that Mr. Li, what do you mean by treating Hong Kong employees as students?
This is in line with the procedure, but the problem is that they don't have a letter of introduction? We can't take it. Unless they are students, there is no reason for the school to admit them. But I remember that there are no professional art schools in Hong Kong, and there is only a training course on TVB and ATV, and there is no introduction letter for such a training class, and we have no reason to accept it. "Principal Lin heard Li Mingbao say that his eyes lit up, which is a good method, but after thinking about it, it seems that there are no art colleges in Hong Kong at all, and they do not have the characteristics of retaining students at all, so it is not easy to do it.
"When I say retaining life, I am using this as an analogy. It's not just the students who can let the staff come and learn, right? We could have an exchange delegation, right? Isn't it easy to use our Li Group, or Shaw Brothers, their name, to get an exchange group out? Anyway, it's just that form, and it's not that I don't give you money, it's almost passable, and it doesn't have to be so rigorous, isn't it? "Li Mingbao is worried about Principal Lin's flexibility, can such a thing be regarded as a thing? Isn't an exchange group the most common thing between Hong Kong and the mainland? Although the exchange time of other exchange groups is relatively short, it does not mean that the exchange group cannot communicate for a long time, it depends on the actual situation.
