After a while, the famous figures in the Hong Kong film and television industry came, Zeng Zhiwei, as the president of the Film Association, led the sitting with He Fang, and everyone talked about the development of Hong Kong films.

"Director He, I am convinced by your words today, you may not know that there are not many people in the Hong Kong film and television industry who really read a lot, and many of them climbed up from the bottom. Therefore, many of the great truths are not understood, and the profound theories are not understood. Because, we have been manipulated for so many years and we are still helping others to speak. ”

"But your speech today makes us understand what the logic behind this is. That's right, over the years, Hong Kong movies have declined, talents have been cut off, and it looks like it is about to become history, which makes us very anxious, but helpless. ”

"Director He, you can single-handedly provoke mainland movies to the world, and I believe you can also give us ideas for Hong Kong films. So, I'm borrowing your meeting today to help us come up with ideas. ”

Although Zeng Zhiwei's voice is a little ugly, his words are not unpleasant, otherwise he would not be the president of the film association that has been working for the longest time.

He Fang nodded at Zeng Zhiwei, and then clasped his fists and saluted everyone seated. Hong Kong is more like a modern society, in fact, he still likes it.

"Thanks to the love of all the seniors and colleagues in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, in fact, I am just a newcomer to the film industry who has debuted for two or three years, and I have made a little success in making movies, which is not worth boasting. Today, all the seniors and colleagues have come to participate in the cocktail party I held, let me say two suggestions, and I will dare to say a few words about that kid. ”

"It's not right, and if it's not good, please Haihan." After He Fang finished speaking, he hugged his fist again.

"I said at today's press conference that there are some reasons for the decline of Hong Kong films, and I personally think the main reasons are three points, one is that the market for Hong Kong films has been suppressed, there is no market space, there is not enough profit, there is no more production cost without enough profit, this is a dead cycle, and in the end there is only a dead end."

"The second reason is that the technology of Hong Kong films has fallen into a lack of innovation. Everyone is pursuing a box office of tens of millions at a cost of millions or hundreds of thousands, so there is no innovation in technology. When Hollywood's "Terminator" and "Jurassic Park" came out, basically the attention of global audiences was attracted by Hollywood blockbusters, and the attention of Hong Kong movies became less and less. ”

"The third reason is that Hong Kong films are too inclusive and not highly standardized. Why is the United States the number one power in the world? Because their talent comes from all over the world. If you look closely, most of the creators of all their high-tech are not Americans, and more than half of them are Chinese. ”

"Therefore, if you want to solve the dilemma of Hong Kong films, you can only solve it from these three points." Speaking of this, He Fang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"We all know about this market problem, but how to solve it? said before that Hong Kong would let Hong Kong films go north because of the loss of Taiwan Province and Southeast Asian cities, but because of censorship problems, they couldn't enter at all. Now that our movies are going north, how to solve it? ”

Sammo Hung asked with a puff on his cigarette, and then the others nodded as well.

He Fang also smiled, "Brother Hong asked well, in fact, this is a problem of Hong Kong films, not a problem of mainland censorship." Think about it, why do the same censored mainland film companies make the same money as making movies? What about making money like Hollywood blockbusters? How have they been censored? Those who open factories also know that in order to enter other people's markets, they must first understand the laws and regulations of other markets, and consumption habits, and this is especially true for making movies. ”

"Just like cars from Chinese mainland want to be sold to Hong Kong, recklessly rushing in will definitely not sell a car." Because the first steering wheel of the car produced by the mainland is on the left, and the second price is a low-end car within 200,000 yuan. Who buys such a car in Hong Kong? The grade is low, the steering wheel is not right, can it be sold? ”

"So, the mainland has said that it will help Hong Kong films go north, but you have never understood the policies, laws and regulations of the mainland, and then some movies can't be released, and they feel that the mainland has broken its promise, which is not the way to do business. Even Hollywood has added Chinese elements in order to please Chinese audiences, but you always expect the mainland to accommodate you. ”

He Fang said and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, then slowly lit it and took a puff.

"Guys, in order to get the movie out, don't I have to go to Hollywood sycophants in a low voice? As long as I don't violate the principle, I will at least make my movie a global release, and it may even make hundreds of millions of dollars at the global box office. ”

"Think about it, you can make a movie that meets the mainland market, which good commercial film in the mainland does not have a box office of hundreds of millions or hundreds of millions? With a box office of hundreds of millions, are you still afraid that Hong Kong movies will not be able to get up? ”

"This is the first mainland market, and you will be able to eat and drink enough, which is enough to ensure the development of Hong Kong films and the problem of talents. The second is the international market, you go to the international market, it is more enjoyable than me to go to the domestic market, after all, the influence of Hong Kong films in the world is still there. I can get through, but you can't? ”

"If you still can't get through, then use the simplest trick and follow our successful path. In the future, if we can shoot internationally, you will shoot anything, use our venues, use our funds, and use our resources, and this can always get through, right? ”

"There is also technology, in the past, Hong Kong movies still played some technology, but now Hong Kong movies still play technology? Except for Director Xu and Xing Ye, I saw that they also played with new technologies, and other directors played how to make money. ”

After He Fang said this, some of the Hong Kong filmmakers present gritted their teeth, as if they were looked down upon.

"Okay, since Director He has said this, then I, Sammo Hung, am the first to support it."

"I also support it, I think Director He Fang is right." Tsui Hark also stated.

"Na, I've been making movies that I like in the mainland all these years, needless to say, I definitely support it." Stephen Chow also spread his hands.

"Director He, can I cooperate with you? It just so happens that I don't lack stories, so I lack funds and resources. Wang Jing said.

"Director Wang, as long as you dare to nod and are willing to follow our shooting process, don't make bad movies, and make good movies we want. I'll sign a contract with you right away, do you want to sign a director contract, or do you want to sign a project contract? The director can answer for ten or eight years, and the project can be signed for thirty or fifty. He Fang promised on the spot.

"Play really?" Wang Jing was moved after hearing this.

"Of course, if you keep making good movies and follow our production process. Whoever you want to support, you can shoot as much investment as you want, I have it all. He Fang promised again.

"Hiss......"

Seeing that everyone was excited, Zeng Zhiwei spoke at this time.

"Then if we all shoot like this, then how will our actors develop?" Zeng Zhiwei asked.

"How else can it develop? Practice all Mandarin well, let go of the posture that Hong Kong actors are superior to the mainland, and do a good job as an actor, you can train as many Hong Kong actors as you want. He Fang promised.

"That's not going to work." Suddenly, someone stood up and spoke.

He Fang glanced at this person, smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Then whatever you want, you want to make other people's money, but also step on others with pride, there is no such good thing in the world."

"Personally, I think you need to be aware of it within yourself. Anyone who tries to obstruct the development of Hong Kong films has ulterior motives, don't let these people make them bad and eventually let Hong Kong films die. It is necessary to see whether they are for the good of Hong Kong or whether they are being lackeys of the British. ”

"You, you sow discord...... this person angrily wanted to hit someone.

"Stop." Sammo Hung nodded and glared at this person angrily, "I make a statement, I support the statement and practice of the party." From now on, all the people in the Hung family class must learn Mandarin, handle relations with the mainland with an open mind, and then develop into the mainland in an all-round way. ”

Sammo Hung said this and then looked at Jackie Chan, who nodded.

"Let me also take a statement, everyone knows that my team is international, and in addition to international projects, we will try to integrate with the mainland. It may be that this operation will lead to a partial split in the Hong Kong film industry, but what He Fang said just now makes sense. If you don't, you're trying to obstruct the development of Hong Kong films and let them die. ”

"Originally, the road of Hong Kong films was to go international, but I believe everyone understands whether this international route can be completed after so many years, and there is no way out. In this case, we have to save and develop. If we want to survive, we must enter the mainland film market, which is the only way for us. ”

"Therefore, some people should stop telling me anything about politicization, assimilation, etc., if you have the ability to give Hong Kong films a second way, can you convince the British to help us sell movies to the world?"

After Jackie Chan also made a statement, the Hong Kong filmmakers at the scene fell silent.

"Everyone, there is no rush in this matter, you can discuss it within yourself slowly, I am just giving a suggestion. Whether to do it or not, how to do it, it's up to you to decide. However, I would like to remind everyone: there is not much time left for Hong Kong films, and the actors of the post-80s and post-90s generations of Hong Kong films are almost out of generation, and the market is gone. ”

"What you can see is that Korean films are now in full swing, and they have the potential to replace the status of Hong Kong films in Asia. In addition to Korean films, everyone has also seen the rise of mainland films. Therefore, if Hong Kong films continue to develop like this, at most ten years, it will basically be difficult to save the gods, and at most twenty years, Hong Kong films will completely disappear from history. ”

He Fang's words made the hearts of everyone present extremely heavy, and this was really related to their future.

"Director He, even if we want to enter the mainland now, we can't do it, we don't know how to face this review." Zeng Zhiwei spoke again.

"Brother Zhiwei, this is not a problem at all. Lake Film Group has an evaluation system that comprehensively assesses the viability of films, including censorship issues. This evaluation system only requires a very low fee, and if you pass the test, you can also get investment and financing from film and television funds. ”

He Fang smiled and said.

"Hey, this ...... Good. Zeng Zhiwei nodded.

"Then the Mandarin you said can't be learned by Hong Kong actors overnight." Zeng Zhiwei asked again.

"Of course, but as long as you have the heart, you can succeed, I remember that Fa Ge memorized his lines first in order to shoot "Let the Bullets Fly". Just memorize the lines in Mandarin, it's not difficult, right? I'm also an actor. He Fang smiled.

Zeng Zhiwei nodded and didn't say anything, he was forcing them.

"Director He, you said before that there is a third point in Hong Kong movies that is too inclusive, how do you say this?" Tsui Hark asked suddenly.

"The Hong Kong film industry is too exclusive, take the Academy Awards as an example, people outside the Hong Kong circle can't win the award, right? But if you look at the three major film festivals or the Oscars and Golden Globes, are they xenophobic? Only the more inclusive the circle, the greater the influence. Judging from the Academy Awards alone, it can be seen that Hong Kong films are very intolerant. ”

When He Fang said this, the person who had opposed He Fang stood up again.

"Where, are you blatantly trying to swallow Hong Kong films, first to lure everyone to make films that are in line with the mainland, to force our actors to speak Mandarin, and now you want to force us to turn the Academy Awards into mainland awards? You are trying to annex the Hong Kong film industry. ”

The man shouted indignantly, and as soon as he finished shouting, the others also looked at each other suspiciously, isn't that so?

"Haha......" He Fang laughed.

"Come, tell me, after the annexation of Hong Kong's film market, how much can we increase the box office of a mainland film? It's good if a film can increase the box office by one or two million, do we care about these two million? ”

"Okay, then tell me again, after the annexation of Hong Kong films, will our technology be more advanced? I can say that now that the mainland's film technology is behind Hong Kong, can you make "Pacific Rim"? ”

"Come, tell me again, after the annexation of Hong Kong films, what benefits have our mainland films gained? Is the market increasing? Or is it technology advancing? Or is it something else? I can say that from the perspective of interests, it is more beneficial for us not to have Hong Kong films. ”

"However, we mainlanders have never only talked about interests and not feelings, what we hope is that after Hong Kong comes back, whether it is the economy, politics or films, there will be development, so that the benefits of returning can be shown. This is the fundamental reason why I am talking so much here today, if it is just for profit, I would rather watch Hong Kong movies and die. ”

After He Fang finished speaking, he looked at this person with murderous eyes.

"You, you, you ......" the man was speechless.

"Okay, don't say it. I think what he said is right, from the perspective of interests, the death of Hong Kong movies will do more good than bad to the mainland, people are here to help us, not to harm us, can't we be more generous? Sammo Hung struck again.
