Let's say that Cao Zhiqiang said goodbye to Wu Qinghong, came to the Chinese restaurant, and soon found Xu Qingdong.

Xu Qingdong was not polite, he had already ordered breakfast, and waited to eat with Cao Zhiqiang.

After eating a little, Xu Qingdong asked that question again.

"Director Cao, what kind of illness does Zhu Lin have? I remember how it was before, huh? ”

Cao Zhiqiang put down the soup spoon and sighed: "This, Lao Xu, complain about me, I have forgotten to talk about this stubble."

That's the case, in fact, Zhu Lin is ...... She was indeed sick, very serious, so I let her stay in Xiangjiang to recuperate. ”

"Huh? Really sick? Serious? Xu Qingdong frowned, "What kind of illness is it?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang said: "This, I can't say the specifics, it seems to be some kind of women's disease." Anyway, it's just some kind of yin and yang imbalance, if you don't treat it early, you may not be able to conceive a child for the rest of your life. ”

"Can't conceive a child? Women's diseases? Xu Qingdong continued to frown, and then suddenly made a sudden realization.

"Oh, I said, who did she marry before, how long has she been married, and she has never conceived a child, so she really has something wrong with her? I thought it was the one who had the problem. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Cao Zhiqiang nodded hurriedly.

"But how do you know?" Xu Qingdong asked Cao Zhiqiang again, "She has this disease, why don't you tell me and tell you?" ”

"Well...... this" Cao Zhiqiang blinked, not knowing what to say for a while.

Xu Qingdong suddenly lowered his voice: "You two, you don't really have a leg, right?" ”

"What nonsense." Cao Zhiqiang hurriedly denied it, "I'm so much different from Sister Zhu, how can I be?" ”

"Yes." Xu Qingdong touched his chin and nodded, "Zhu Lin is in his thirties, and you are not even twenty, hey, you seem to be almost twenty years old, right?" ”

"yes, it's coming." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Xu Qingdong said: "So, I also think that the two of you are unlikely, but why does Zhu Lin have any problems and will tell you?" And not to tell my old friend? ”

Cao Zhiqiang said: "Of course, she didn't take the initiative to mention it to me, it was a friend from Hong Kong who came to see me, and I happened to see her, she would order Chinese medicine, and after seeing Zhu Lin, I felt that her situation was not quite right, so I took the pulse and then saw the problem."

Although he saw the problem, he was not sure, so he took Zhu Lin to see a famous doctor in Xiangjiang.

Sure enough, after seeing a famous doctor, he was diagnosed, which allowed Zhu Lin to recuperate there. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang's train of thought smoothed out, and continued: "People have said that Zhu Lin's illness is cold, so during the recuperation period, it is best not to go back to the north, but to live in a warm place."

Xiangjiang is the south, the medical conditions are good, and you can find that doctor for follow-up at any time, so I suggested that Zhu Lin stay.

In fact, Zhu Lin didn't want to, but felt that it was too expensive.

But I don't think so.

I'm afraid you don't know, in fact, the reason why I didn't let Zhu Lin come back early in the first place, but left her.

I hope that Zhu Lin will stay in Xiangjiang and be familiar with that side, so as to help us open up the Xiangjiang market. ”

"Wait a minute!" Xu Qingdong waved his hand, "Why do you open up the Xiangjiang market again and return us?" You don't want to say that you want our Hongguang Film Factory to open up some Xiangjiang market, right? ”

"Apparently yes!" Cao Zhiqiang said, "This is also the main content I want to talk to you." ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, drank another saliva, and then continued to explain to Xu Qingdong:

"Lao Xu, to be honest, what do you think of the previous trip to Japan and Xiangjiang, compared to ours?"

Xu Qingdong clicked his lips, and then sighed: "If you want to compare with us, I think we are too far behind them."

There is not only a gap between technology and funding, but also a gap in thinking.

In the film and television industry of Japan and Xiangjiang, especially in the film industry, their screenwriters are imaginative, dare to think and dare to do.

We, for various reasons, are restricted everywhere.

And on their side, the account sharing method is also more reasonable, and they take the box office account sharing model.

In this model, film companies can get more benefits, and naturally they will be more motivated.

Unlike us, no matter how good the movie you make, it must be sold to China Film, and the price is also up to others, so we have no pricing power.

In the end, even if the movie you make is hot at the box office, the money you make is China Film, which has little to do with our film studio.

With a model like yours, who will carefully ponder the market and who will ponder the audience's preferences.

In addition, our seniority ranking is too serious.

Some senior directors, no matter how backward their shooting techniques are, no matter how problematic they are, they are never short of funds.

It's like that Director Yang, I didn't speak ill of her behind my back.

I just think that her shooting technique is indeed a bit too much, and it is purely a waste of money.

However, people can easily get the project and the money.

You try someone else.

If you dare to say that you want 3 million shooting funds, you have to shoot real scenes all day long, and see if the leader scolds you or not.

The same goes for it.

The film studios where we make movies, especially those old factories with strong strength.

Their funds and shooting plans are mainly occupied by those old directors.

The new director wants to film, but there is no drama, so he can only raise his own funds.

Why did I switch to a TV series before?

It's not the North Shadow I was staying in, so I really won't be given a chance.

If Beiying could let me film, how could I jump ship and come to you, don't you say? ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "That's right, that's right, so, we have to dare to be the first and take the lead in making changes!" ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while and said: "To be honest, I am looking for someone to do recently, and I plan to take advantage of the great success of our "Love in the Rain" in Japan and the fact that I have earned a lot of foreign exchange for the country to apply for the reform of film account sharing."

In other words, I want to break the original model of unified purchase and sales of Chinese films, and go outside the box office sharing model.

In this way, if the box office is good, film studios like us can get more funds and have more right to speak. ”

"Really?" Xu Qingdong was taken aback.

"Of course it's true." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Why are you lying to you." ”

"Can such a big thing be done?" Xu Qingdong frowned.

"It's man-made." Cao Zhiqiang said, "You have to give it a try, maybe it's done?" After all, reform and innovation are happening everywhere now, and if you don't give it a try, how do you know it won't work?

It's like my publishing house, and the red light film factory I run.

Before I do it, do you believe I can pull it out on my own? ”

"That's right." Xu Qingdong nodded, "Otherwise, now everyone outside says that you are Mr. Cao, and they all say that you are a powerful person."

Looking back now, the things you did were really unthinkable to others.

Even if you dare to think about it, you don't dare to do it.

Even if you dare to do it, you can't do it.

You are good, dare to think and dare to do, and even did it, this is what I admire you the most, and it is also why I was able to give up the iron rice bowl of Beiying and come to the Hongguang Factory with you.

It's because I obey you as a person and think you won't cheat me, that's why I came.

Otherwise, when you were looking for me before, who would have come to your Hongguang Film Factory at that time. ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "That's right, thank you for valuing me." ”

Xu Qingdong shook his head and suddenly frowned: "Hey, wait a minute, why did you leave Zhu Lin in Xiangjiang, can you stand it?" ”

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang said, "So you have to continue to listen to me." ”

After clearing his throat, Cao Zhiqiang continued to explain: "That's right, my previous success in Japan encouraged me and inspired me.

I found out that our people are not bad.

Whether it is our screenwriter, our director, or our actors, it is not much worse than Xiangjiang and Japan.

What we are bad at is that the environment is different and the policies are different. ”

"That's right!" Xu Qingdong slapped his thigh.

Soon, Xu Qingdong said embarrassedly: "No, you continue, keep talking." ”

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head and continued to explain: "Then, I just thought, you have to prepare with both hands to do things.

If we take advantage of the success of "Love in the Rain" in Japan, we can't make the domestic film and television industry reform, change the past model of unified purchase and sales, and become a model of account sharing, then there is no need for us to continue to focus on the domestic market.

In fact, the foreign market is also promising.

What's more, if you do it abroad, you not only make a lot of money, but also foreign exchange.

If we can make movies abroad to earn foreign exchange, and then get foreign exchange back to China, we can also serve the motherland, right? ”

"That's right, that's right." Xu Qingdong nodded.

Cao Zhiqiang said: "It just so happens that I have friends in Xiangjiang, so I thought that in the name of our Hongguang Film Factory, I would open a branch in Xiangjiang."

Even if you can't start it wholly owned, you can cooperate with my friend in Xiangjiang and open a joint venture film company there, and we will be a shareholder of Hongguang Film Studio, then it's okay.

In this way, we can legitimately send directors and actors to Xiangjiang, shoot movies there, and go to theaters there to earn box office.

In this way, we have many advantages over local film companies in Hong Kong.

You see, even if we are a big star like Zhu Lin, the salary is very low, after all, it is according to the domestic algorithm.

But if it is a big-name star in Xiangjiang, the performance fee is obviously not at the same level.

Of course, we can't afford to invite big celebrities in Hong Kong.

But we can use the big stars we have cultivated ourselves.

It's like Zhu Lin.

She is now famous in Japan, which is equivalent to saying that if we let Zhu Lin act in another movie and then release it in Japan, it must have a certain box office appeal, right?

In the same way, if we find a way to release "Love in the Rain" in Xiangjiang, if we also achieve certain results, then let's not talk about box office revenue, let's just say that Zhu Lin's popularity in Xiangjiang will also rise.

At that time, we will let Zhu Lin shoot movies in Xiangjiang in the name of sending her on a business trip, so that we can use Xiangjiang's technical, financial and policy advantages to make more profitable movies and earn more foreign exchange.

But Zhu Lin is still an inlander, according to the inland salary standard, in this way, we are much more cost-effective.

Once this mode is used well.

We can't just use Zhu Lin.

We can also launch Ma Suqin.

Anyway, we have a billion people on our side, there are too many good seedlings to dig up, and the salary requirements are not high, which is our advantage.

If this model of opening a branch in Xiangjiang is successful, then we don't have to worry about the inland market, and we can go out and compete with our counterparts in Xiangjiang or even Japan.

I believe that with our creativity and the cost advantage of our crew, we will definitely achieve good results.

Therefore, I asked Zhu Lin, the strongest fist we have at hand, to stay in Xiangjiang temporarily, and then with the help of my friend in Xiangjiang, I learned the advanced experience there, and then discussed the next step to open a branch.

But I never expected that her hidden disease would be found out, which is more than one stone. ”

As soon as he heard Cao Zhiqiang's explanation, Xu Qingdong immediately realized.

"Ah, I'll just say, why did you have to take a detour to Xiangjiang back to the inland at that time, it turns out that you had this idea at that time?"

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang smiled.

"The plan is good." Xu Qingdong frowned and said, "But, go to Xiangjiang to open a film company, and then use our people to compete with others in Xiangjiang, is this possible?" Don't end up empty.

You must know that although the movies on the other side of Xiangjiang are very prosperous, the competition is also fierce.

Especially the local film company, they definitely don't want a foreign film company to come over to compete with them.

In case we went there to open a company, we were resisted by the local people.

For example, if you come to the black and don't let you film well, what should you do? ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "That's simple, we can shoot not in Xiangjiang, but in Guangdong next door."

As long as you don't shoot any local urban dramas in Xiangjiang, but shoot martial arts dramas that have been popular recently, is it filmed in Xiangjiang, what is the difference?

Filming martial arts dramas and ancient dramas, as long as the service is good enough, the script is good enough, the actors are good enough, the music is good enough, and the audience is cool to watch, then it's fine.

When the time comes, we will be able to replicate the miracle of Japan.

You can shoot a good movie in the inland first, and then take the copy to Xiangjiang, negotiate with the theater chain there, and release it directly in Xiangjiang.

After its release, if it achieves a good box office, it will naturally make money.

Therefore, the branch of Xiangjiang is just a formality.

The purpose is to allow us to take the opportunity to go to Xiangjiang theaters to be screened as a local film in Hong Kong, without any policy obstacles. ”

"Ah, I seem to get it a little." Xu Qingdong frowned and said, "That is to say, as our Hongguang Film Studio, you will cooperate with local businessmen in Xiangjiang, and then register a local film company in Xiangjiang in the form of a joint venture."

In this way, no matter what the shareholder composition of this film company is, and what the shareholding structure is, because it is a company registered in Xiangjiang, it is a local company in Xiangjiang and enjoys the rights of a local company in Xiangjiang.

Then, with this film company in Hong Kong, we used our identity as Hongguang Film Studio to start filming at a low cost in the mainland.

After making a movie, I took the copy to Xiangjiang and went to Xiangjiang to release it in theaters as a local film in Xiangjiang.

That's the model you're talking about, right? ”

"That's right!" Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "That's what I think, this is called a real backdoor listing!" ”

"I think it's a dove occupying the magpie's nest, right?" Xu Qingdong smiled.

"It's all the same." Cao Zhiqiang also smiled and nodded.

"Will it work?" Xu Qingdong said suddenly, "It feels very adventurous." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled faintly: "It's still the same sentence, if you don't give it a try, how do you know it's not good?" (End of chapter)
