After listening to Uncle Lin's reply, Cao Zhiqiang immediately fell into a big stone in his heart.

At the very least, a good start.

And this kind of thing is like concessions, as long as you can let it once, you can continue to let it later.

The premise is that you want the other party to feel your sincerity and think that it will bring benefits to both parties.

There is no doubt that Cao Zhiqiang started with the film industry, which is the best embedding point.

The reason is very simple, that is, the domestic film industry has been a problem for a long time, and the voice calling for film reform has long been there, but it has not been achieved for various reasons.

As Cao Zhiqiang said, there is no shortage of film talents in China, especially reserve talents, which cannot be compared with a small Xiangjiang.

But why are there so many good movies in Xiangjiang that they have now developed to the extreme, but mainland movies are still a pool of stagnant water, so that in the face of foreign movies, they can't play at all?

In addition to the reasons for technology, funding and review, the biggest reason is actually the issuance mechanism.

To put it bluntly, the current domestic films are too heavily monopolized by China Film Company.

As mentioned earlier, the current domestic film distribution mechanism is dominated by China Film Company, which monopolizes the distribution rights of all domestic films.

Once a film company in China makes a good movie, no matter how much money is spent on it, the Chinese Film Company accepts your movie, which is in accordance with the rules of China Film, and China Film says how much your movie is, that is, how much is it, which is a one-time buyout fee.

After the China Film Company buys out the movie you made, it will be screened in various movie theaters, and then split the account with the movie theater for four or six accounts, of which the China Film Company will take six and the local movie theater will take four.

In other words, in terms of pure box office accounting, China Film Company took the biggest lead.

The question is, as a state-owned enterprise, will China Film Company hand over the bulk of the money to the state treasury after receiving the money?

The answer is no.

This is not to say that China Film Company collected the money and did not hand it over to the state treasury, but only paid a small part.

Again, this is a problem left over from history.

To put it simply, it is the issue of the proportion of state-owned enterprises paying.

In this era when the tax reform has not yet begun, taxes are basically collected by the tax bureau under the Ministry of Finance, but due to lack of manpower and other reasons, basically state-owned enterprises in various places consciously pay them, and few people above go down to supervise your tax payment.

Except for some key industries, most state-owned enterprises are trying to avoid taxes.

For example, the most popular way is to increase spending and increase welfare.

Why did most of the state-owned enterprises in this period build their own hospitals, schools, libraries, cinemas and other facilities?

Is it really for the people?

The root cause is not to increase spending.

Anyway, the increase in expenditures and the increase in departments can not only increase jobs and solve more employment problems, but also increase a lot of leadership positions during this period.

In this way, on the surface, the company's expenses are very large, and the net profit is not much, and many of them are not only flat, but even have to be subsidized by the government.

The current situation is that the so-called state-owned enterprises pay money to the state treasury refers to the handing over of net profits.

If there is no net profit, then no matter how large your liquidity is, you don't have to pay taxes.

As a result, a situation has gradually been created in which companies are more powerful than the government and have money.

It is precisely because of this that the cadres of the organs in this period were not as popular as the good workers of state-owned enterprises.

The reason for this is that the income of the cadres of the organs is low, and the income is not as high as that of the workers of the state-owned enterprises.

Moreover, the employees of state-owned enterprises still have channels for promotion at this time, and they can still rely on the state-owned enterprise system to be promoted, and in turn rise to a very high position.

Because of the cadre system, there are also in state-owned enterprises.

Many employees of state-owned enterprises can be directly transferred to administrative posts after working to a certain extent.

For example, if you were a workshop director in a workshop before, you may be directly assigned to the local county as a secretary one day, and there are many cases.

Making money is not as good as direct supply from the factory, and the speed of promotion is not as good, so of course it is the best to enter the factory.

But in this way, it is certainly not a good thing for the local government and for the central government.

Of course, this kind of state-owned enterprise is similar to a country within a country, large and comprehensive, and has everything, which is a problem left over from history, and it also made great contributions back then, avoiding huge losses in a certain period.

But time has passed, and today's era is no longer what it used to be.

Now, everything in the country is centered on economic construction and led by the government, so some things, such as the kind of large and comprehensive state-owned enterprises, need to be changed.

It just so happens that for various reasons, many of today's state-owned enterprises are also facing various problems, which just gives various organs an opportunity to take advantage of.

For example, the rectification of Hongguang Machinery Factory, or the abolition, is actually a victim of the general environment.

Well, in the big picture, that's not a bad thing.

After all, abolishing isolated state-owned enterprises one after another and unifying them under the leadership of the organs is tantamount to breaking the regional monopoly and rebuilding a unified domestic market.

Because in the past, because each state-owned enterprise was like a country within a country, other units could not splash water, and the state-owned enterprises colluded with the local government and did not have too close contact, resulting in a strong local protectionism between various localities.

If local protectionism is serious, it will slow down economic operation, increase various costs, and be detrimental to the development of the country's overall economy.

Therefore, one of the links in the reform of state-owned enterprises during this period was to break the regional monopoly and rebuild the authority of the central government.

As for the subsequent reform of the tax-sharing system, it had to stand behind.

Having said that, although an enterprise like China Film Company is not an enterprise of a local government, it is the sphere of influence of a certain department, and it is still a bit of a big tail.

That China Film ate the distribution dividends of national films, only fattened itself, but caused all related industries to be damaged, which is actually equivalent to provoking public anger.

It's just that the strength of China Film is too strong, unless some upper echelons are playing, it is really difficult to change this status quo.

In the past, there were many domestic problems, and generally speaking, there would be no high-level games for such trivial matters.

But if it comes to a mysterious and friendly organization that can bring the likes of White Swan bombers, high-performance missiles, and even F14 fighter jets to the country, it's worth the game.

Anyway, it's just to find a film studio as a pilot, not all film studios have the qualifications to share accounts separately, so it seems that China Film Company should be able to accept it.

And that's exactly what happened.

Hongguang Film Factory is just a small factory that has just been established, if only the films produced by Hongguang Film Factory can enjoy a separate account sharing model, then in terms of the entire domestic film market, the impact is really not big.

After all, according to normal logic, in a small film studio, you just shoot every day, how many movies can you make?

But what they don't know is that Cao Zhiqiang is open.

And once this opening is opened, Cao Zhiqiang can cooperate with overseas film companies.

If foreign films are introduced in the name of Hongguang Film Studio, or simply in the form of co-production or cooperative investment, then foreign films can be directly distributed in China through Hongguang Film Studio.

In other words, as soon as this opening is opened, it is equivalent to allowing the film studio, which is only responsible for film production, to have independent distribution rights.

Even if this distribution right is not completely autonomous, it is cost-effective to share accounts with other units, including China Film Company.

As long as others settle accounts, they will definitely be willing to cooperate with Hongguang Film Studio.

You must know that the domestic film market is actually very huge.

Even if the price of movie tickets is very low, it can't stop the number of them.

In a market with hundreds of millions of people at every turn, who can not do something?

Even if a movie ticket costs a dime and 100 million people, that is a box office of 100 million RMB.

Converted to Hong Kong dollars, 100 million RMB, the current exchange rate, that is 125 million Hong Kong dollars!

Compared with the box office level of Hong Kong movies, which is only 40 million Hong Kong dollars, the inland market is the real treasure.

Is it hard to have a box office of 100 million? At present, it is a bit difficult in China, but if the quality of the movie is better, the box office of 50 million RMB is definitely very easy.

Let's put it this way, if Xiangjiang's current excellent movies can be introduced into the country for normal broadcasting, and there is no limit, the box office of 50 million RMB is not difficult.

Take Cheng Long's movie "Plan A", the box office revenue in Xiangjiang is only 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and if it is introduced into the inland market, the box office of 100 million RMB should not be able to run.

There's no way, who makes people's movies really good and broadcast them inland, that's a dimensionality reduction blow.

To put it mildly, some of Xiangjiang's films, such as "Plan A", are actually much better than Japanese films.

You are like Ken Takakura's "Manhunt", which is far worse than movies like "Plan A".

The reason why "Manhunt" was so popular back then was, in the final analysis, that the domestic aesthetic level was too low and there was too little knowledge, so when I saw the modern scene abroad for the first time, I was naturally shocked.

The level of modernization of Xiangjiang is no worse than that of most cities in Japan, so if Xiangjiang movies can be played in China at this time, the effect will be absolutely good.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a lot of video halls in the future.

Isn't it because China has always refused to allow the normal broadcast of Xiangjiang movies, resulting in them only secretly playing the videotapes of Xiangjiang movies through video halls?

If there is no accident, China really began to give up the monopoly and tried to share the account of the film for the first time, which is really related to a Xiangjiang movie, that is, the later Xiangjiang movie "Wong Fei Hung III: The Lion King"!

Anyway, in Cao Zhiqiang's previous life, this movie was the first film in the mainland to settle the film by box office sharing, instead of the past, there was still a unified purchase and sale by China Film Company, and the distribution rights were bought out.

But at that time, it was already 1993.

Before this, the distribution of domestic films has always been dominated by China Film Company, and any film that wants to be distributed in China must be sold to China Film Company, otherwise it will not work.

But now, Cao Zhiqiang feels that if the scarce materials such as F14 fighters and other technical data are taken as an opportunity, and the RMB settlement is the condition, it is still possible for the country to loosen the movie account sharing model in advance.

At the very least, let the Hongguang Film Studio under his control carry out the first account-sharing model.

It can be said that if this proposal can be successful, then Hongguang Film Studio will be the biggest winner.

After all, other film studios have to follow the old rules, and if they want to be bought out by China Film Company, he Hongguang Factory can play account sharing by himself, which is equivalent to another degree of monopoly.

That's right, in this way, it is equivalent to the Hongguang Film Studio under his control, which monopolizes the account-sharing distribution channels of domestic films, not to mention the attraction of domestic films, but the attraction of foreign films is definitely super high.

In the future, if any foreign film wants to be released in China, it is estimated that he will find Hongguang Film Studio, after all, he can give more benefits.

Similarly, with this opening, Cao Zhiqiang can also smoothly invest overseas funds into the mainland in the form of films, and with a little operation, it will become a resource for real estate or something, not too easy.

Even if Cao Zhiqiang spends a lot of money on making movies in the future, with his knowledge and talent, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

In particular, some big productions can also be carried out during this period.

After all, the labor in China at this time is not too cheap, even if you hire 10,000 people as extras, it will actually not cost a few dollars.

But if you can shoot a big war scene because of this, even if you don't distribute it domestically, you can only take it out and distribute it abroad, and you can make a lot of money.

And in this way, you can also make some classic masterpieces that can be passed on to future generations.

For example, he has always wanted to shoot Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, including his successful counterattack as emperor, as well as the big scene of leading the army to the Northern Expedition, he has long liked it and wanted to watch it for a long time.

In his previous life, he had never enjoyed related movies, but here, he can try to make his own.

At least, he can make more movies about the Ming Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, and take the opportunity to promote Han culture.

Unlike the current atmosphere, there are braided dramas of the Qing Dynasty everywhere, which are annoying.

Even if he wants to shoot braids, Cao Zhiqiang also wants to shoot themes such as the Xinhai Revolution.

In addition, like the famous big IP, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and even the Journey to the West that is being filmed, he wants to intervene.

All in all, if you want to shoot a domestic historical drama series, this period is the best.

Because once this time is missed, it will be difficult to create a large-scale war scene after the domestic labor price skyrockets.

Also, making movies at this time can be done in the name of building a movie city, and obviously engaging in real estate.

At the moment when the land is so cheap, if you can first settle a batch of future prime locations in a certain key location in advance in the mode of a movie city, then the income in the future, hehehe, it is as simple as lying down to make money.

Compared with these benefits, what sleeps with female stars, they are all standing aside, and they can't be on the stage at all.

Besides, Cao Zhiqiang really doesn't have that kind of idea now.

He has enough women now, and he really doesn't want to mess with flowers and grass anymore.

There are many people, not to mention whether the energy is enough or not, whether the time is enough, even his kidneys, and he can't stand it.

However, the film industry is good and profitable, but compared with the automobile industry and the large aircraft industry behind, it is a small thing.

In fact, simply talking about making money, from a personal point of view, the automobile industry and the large aircraft industry may not necessarily make money in the film and television industry, and the risk is very high.

However, automobiles and large aircraft, these two industrial projects, are the real weapons of the country, and they are also good projects that can really benefit the country and the nation.

In other words, for Cao Zhiqiang now, making money is just a small way, and he has too many ways to make money.

Therefore, he has long been out of the low-level interest of making money, but has risen to a higher level.

The layout of high-end industries such as automobiles and large aircraft in advance, so that the country and the nation can take off, belongs to this high-end level.

Before, he didn't have a chance.

Now that he has the opportunity, Cao Zhiqiang certainly wants to give it a try.

He wants to see if he can hold up the sky with one hand with his own strength!
