Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

v2 Chapter 820: Divide the cake (top)

Hong Kong Film Association.

At this moment, almost all the main characters of various film companies in Hong Kong were present, including Hu Huizhong and Tang Shuxuan from DreamWorks Studios, Fang Yihua from Metropolis, He Guanchang and Zou Chongjin from Jiahe, and Lei Qizhenghe from Xinyicheng. Huang Baiming, Chen Rongmei, Feng Bingzhong, Cai Songlin, Wang Yingxiang, McDonald's Bear, Zeng Zhiwei, Li Xiuxian, Deng Guangrong, Li Guoxing and others in the new era, etc...

With so many Hong Kong filmmakers gathered in the Hong Kong Film Industry Association, what they do is naturally not a trivial matter.

After years of unremitting efforts by Xu Cun and Hong Kong filmmakers, the mainland finally agreed to introduce ten Hong Kong films that are not DreamWorks Films every year. These ten blockbusters are all ordinary split films, and refer to the international common split standard: production Thirty-five percent from the side, 17 percent from the distributor, and 48 percent from the exhibitor.

Speaking of which, this can be done thanks to the great flood in East China last year.

When the East China flood hit last year, Xu Cun made a call-up order to make a movie with an all-star cast, and all the box office proceeds will be used for post-disaster reconstruction.

Different from the shoddy production of the previous life's "Night Banquet", this life's disaster relief movie was made with great care, and also starred by superstars such as Zhou Runfa, Cheng Long, Zhou Xingchi, and Li Lianjie. It can be said that it has taken out the biggest cast of Xiangjiang. .

This movie is so strong in terms of quality and lineup that it not only won the box office of nearly 60 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, second only to "Jurassic Park", but also in other parts of Asia, especially in the mainland It also achieved extremely dazzling box office results-in the end, the total box office of this film was as high as more than 943 million Hong Kong dollars.

After learning the news, Xu Cun waved his hand, and the money issued by DreamWorks Cinema and DreamWorks was not needed. He personally made up more than 50 million, making up one billion Hong Kong dollars to donate to the post-disaster reconstruction department in the Mainland.

This incident has a great positive impact on the return of Xiangjiang, and it highly interprets the eight words of "the same root and blood relatives" between the mainland and Xiangjiang!

In the end, the central government directly ordered that ten film companies in Hong Kong, except DreamWorks Film Company, be allocated a quota of 10 films to be imported, and it was emphasized that it was not a batch of films (buy-out films), but an account-sharing film.

As soon as the news came out, the Hong Kong film industry was immediately boiling!

Immediately afterwards, all the big and small film companies in Hong Kong began to celebrate!

In the past two years, in addition to DreamWorks films, the foreign markets have become smaller and smaller.

Needless to say, Europe and the United States, except for some big productions such as Golden Harvest, Xinyicheng, and New Era, which cost hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, other movies don’t even need to be released in Europe and America.

In Japan and South Korea, the release conditions are slightly lower than those in Europe and the United States, but it is not an ordinary movie from an ordinary film company that can be released. Moreover, even if it is reluctantly released, there are ten *****s that cannot get a higher box office—— The movie market in Japan and South Korea is almost occupied by Hollywood movies and DreamWorks movies. Ordinary Hong Kong movies can almost be said to have been driven out of the two movie markets in Japan and South Korea, and what remains are only the representatives of DreamWorks movies. The name of the Hong Kong film.

In terms of Nanyang, it is not as powerful as before. A few years ago, as long as it was a Hong Kong film of acceptable quality, it was possible to go to the Nanyang countries to make money. Now, most Hong Kong films go to Nanyang to be screened, and they are all lost. Even Zhou Xingchi's "Fighting Dragon 2" has only returned more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars in Nanyang, not to mention other films.

At present, the remaining foreign film market for ordinary Hong Kong films can almost be said to be the only one left in Taiwan.

Taiwan is the only economically developed area in the world that is not a third world country but has not formed a complete local film industry chain, which is inferior to Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries.

Moreover, there is a strange local regulation in Taiwan - the Taiwan authorities can directly extract 30% of the movie box office as a tax. In the remaining box office, only a few films by well-known Taiwanese directors can enjoy the treatment of '5545', that is, the distributors get 55% of the remaining box office, and the theaters get 40%. Fifth, the share of the general film company and the theater chain is fixed at around three or seven, and some of the white faces are at most four or six.

Such high taxes and bizarre regulations doomed the tragedy of Taiwanese local films. A movie with an investment cost of NT$10 million must earn more than NT$30 million in order to make a profit. If you really want to make money, you must sell at least NT$40 million in the local area—not counting video tape distribution and overseas markets. Screening, after all, most Taiwanese movies have no chance to be screened overseas.

It's no wonder that Taiwanese filmmakers favor imported films, especially Hong Kong films that have the same cultural origin.

but--

Since China began negotiating the return of Hong Kong with the United Kingdom in the early 1980s, the Taiwan authorities have consciously suppressed Hong Kong films and increased the introduction of Hollywood films and films from other parts of Asia-Thai films, Korean films, and Singaporean films are all. The Taiwan bend market began to enter during this period, and soon began to have some influence.

Of course, these films are still incomparable with Hong Kong films that have the essence of commercial films.

Only the archenemy of Hong Kong films can be compared with Hong Kong films - Hollywood films.

Although there is no cultural fusion that Hong Kong films can easily understand and substitute for audiences in Taiwan, Hollywood films still rely on rigorous scripts, excellent imagination, super-class production costs and dazzling special effects to quickly squeeze out dreams. The market share originally occupied by Hong Kong films other than factory films - this year, Hollywood's "Alien 3", "Batman Shows His Might", "Predator 2" three blockbusters have hit the Taiwan movie market one after another~lightnovelpub.net ~The following are "Rogue Goofy", "Ultimate Vanguard" and "Beauty and the Beast" ready to go, if not for Xu Cun's "Jurassic Park" crushing, and "Spider-Man 2" ", "Blade Runner 2", "Shuanglonghui" and disaster relief movies, the sniping of the four brutal films, as well as the three first-class Hong Kong films of "The Deer", "Police Story 3" and "Swordsman: The Undefeated East" awaits , 100% of the Taiwanese movie market this year will be torn apart by Hollywood movies like the previous life, and then completely occupied by Hollywood movies in the next two years.

However--

Although this world Hong Kong film has held the Taiwan film market, if it is more realistic, it is DreamWorks Films and the films of major film companies that hold the Taiwan film market, and other Hong Kong films are only in DreamWorks Films and major film companies. Under the wings of the movie, don't drive out of the Taiwan movie market, and life is not much better than the previous life.

Therefore, the mainland film market has opened a big gap for Hong Kong films. All Hong Kong filmmakers are celebrating wildly, and will share this cake as soon as possible!
