The positive performance of Xu Cun and a group of stars in Xiangjiang in the donation of the East China flood disaster made everyone in China see that the blood of the same root is thicker than water!

At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared - "The mainland should be completely open to Hong Kong and at least Hong Kong movies."

This voice is naturally not Xu Cun's - Xu Cun, who has already obtained the qualification to screen movies in the mainland, does not need to make such a voice.

As for who made the sound, Xu Cun could guess with his big toe.

Since the 1990s, the world film market has undergone great changes, and the foreign film market of Hong Kong Films, which excludes DreamWorks films, has become smaller and smaller.

Prior to this, the foreign film market of Xiangjiang Films, except DreamWorks Films, was mainly Nanyang Kingdoms and Taiwan. Occasionally, a few films with outstanding box office results could also be released to Japan and South Korea.

But since two years ago, Nanyang countries have gradually introduced their own film protection laws - from the earliest Philippines, to Thailand, and then to Indonesia, it has become more and more difficult for Xiangjiang films to enter the Nanyang film market without DreamWorks films. In one or two years, Hong Kong Films, which eliminated DreamWorks Films, seems to have lost the Nanyang Film Market. The Nanyang Film Market, which was previously known as the back garden of Hong Kong films, now seems to have built a circle that is tall, strong and sturdy. The wall covered with thorns makes it more and more difficult for the Hong Kong Films to enter into it except DreamWorks Films!

Although Taiwan has not promulgated a local film protection bill, it is impossible for Hong Kong to become an ally with Taiwan because it is getting closer and closer to the mainland. Therefore, the loose policies that Taiwan gave Hong Kong Films earlier will naturally gradually disappear. There is competition between Hollywood movies and DreamWorks movies, and the situation of Hong Kong Movies in Taiwan, which excludes DreamWorks movies, is not as good as it used to be.

As for Japan and South Korea - in recent years, more and more Japanese and South Korean audiences, tired of the routines of Hong Kong movies other than DreamWorks movies, have instead pursued the special effects of Hollywood movies and DreamWorks movies. With the plot, even Golden Harvest, who has Cheng Long, a superstar with big box office appeal in Japan and South Korea, has never had a movie in Japan and South Korea as brilliant as before.

certainly!

It is not to say that Xiangjiang Film, which excludes DreamWorks films, has really embarked on the same path of decline as the previous life. After more than ten years of layout and management, Xu Cun has established a network covering more than a dozen major films around the world. There is a super-large cinema chain in the market, and Xu Cun will give some high-quality Xiangjiang films some places on this super-large cinema chain every year, so how could Xiangjiang Films go down the road of decline like the previous life?

But then again, at present, Heung Kong Films produces more than 200 films each year. Even if DreamWorks' 15 to 20 films are excluded, there are still nearly 200 films. How can the three or five quotas given by Xu Cun each year make this possible? Nearly two hundred movie points?

The most important thing is that these three or five places Xu Cun will generally only be used for large productions with investment of several hundred million jointly produced by Jiahe, Xinyicheng, New Era and DreamWorks, and those investments are only tens of millions or even only a few million. There is almost no chance of a movie with a mega-theater line in it. Therefore, for those movies with an investment of only tens of millions or even a few million, having this mega-theater is almost the same as not having this mega-theater.

Back to the mainland.

Unlike in the previous life, mainland films were not valued due to their low ticket prices. In this life, under the development and training of Xu Cun, the strength and potential of the mainland film market were seen by every Hong Kong filmmaker—— According to relevant statistics, in the early 1980s, the average number of moviegoers in the mainland was about 208 million (including movie viewing teams organized by government agencies and rural screening teams). By the mid-to-late 1980s, due to the nationwide flowering of video halls, the number of people watching each movie in the Mainland was close to 200 million.

Every movie is watched by 200 million people. Even if only 1% of it is converted into box office, it is enough for most Hong Kong movies to make a lot of money. Therefore, it is inevitable for those who exclude DreamWorks movies to make a lot of money. Heung Kong Films wants to open up the mainland film market.

Moreover, this is not the wishful thinking of Xiangjiang Film, which has eliminated DreamWorks Movies. The large number of state-run movie theaters in the mainland also have this urgent expectation after seeing the huge profits of DreamWorks Cinemas!

In addition, the two groups also found a very suitable time.

Therefore, as soon as the voice that "the mainland should be fully open to Hong Kong, at least Hong Kong movies" appeared, it attracted the attention of the central government.

...

On a path in Shek O Manor.

Ji Pengfei admired the surrounding environment intoxicatedly, and said, "A Cun, the people from the propaganda department asked me to ask you, what is your attitude towards the mainland's complete opening to Hong Kong movies?"

Xu Cun smiled and said, "Oh? Can I still express my opinion on this matter?"

Ji Pengfei said unequivocally: "Your attitude is very important. I can tell you with certainty that if you are against it, no matter how much they dance, it will never pass!"

Xu Cun said in surprise: "My attitude is so important?"

Ji Pengfei said: "We are not fools, we know who our true friends are."

After hearing Ji Pengfei's remarks, Xu Cun pondered for a while, and then said: "I have no objection to the complete opening of the Mainland to Hong Kong Films. This should be a good thing for both parties, not only will it give Hong Kong Films a chance to not decline, but it will also benefit Hong Kong Films. Xiangjiang has completely returned to the embrace of China."

After listening to Xu Cun's answer, and looking at Xu Cun's unrepentant expression, Ji Pengfei said with a look of relief: "Deng Gongzhen did not see you wrong, you really have your heart for the motherland and the party, otherwise you would never let him go. It belongs to your own interests!"

Xu Cun smiled noncommittally - neither took the high hat Ji Pengfei gave him, nor denied that he loved the country and the party.

Seeing that Xu Cun didn't pick up his tall hat, Ji Pengfei said calmly, "Your environment is really good. You can live at least ten more years in your life!"

Xu Cun smiled and said, "If you like Mr. Ji~lightnovelpub.net~ I will build you a hut here."

Ji Pengfei said with a wry smile: "I really want to grow old with you, but unfortunately... I'm afraid I won't have this chance in my life!"

From the time of Premier Zhou to the present, Ji Pengfei has been assisting Premier Zhou and Duke Deng in handling foreign affairs. There are too many diplomatic affairs for Ji Pengfei to do. How could he retire to retire, even though he is already eighty one this year.

Xu Cun was very clear about Ji Pengfei's importance in diplomacy, so Xu Cun said again, "When you're not busy, you can come and stay with me for two days. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Ji Pengfei said with a smile, "I'll take your heart. As long as you can always support my work, it's better than anything else."

Xu Cun deliberately said with a bitter face: "Elder Ji, don't I support your old work?"

Ji Pengfei put away his smile, then looked at Xu Cun solemnly and said, "What I said is always... You are about to establish a country, can you still support my work like before?"
