Xia Tian took the Hong Kong delegation to stay in the mainland for a week and received a very high-level reception. Not only did he visit several major comrades, but he also met with colleagues from the film and television industry in the mainland.

After several negotiations, the mainland also gave generous gifts to the Hong Kong delegation and decided to approve twenty Hong Kong films into the mainland every year.

Hong Kong now produces 80 movies every year, much less than in previous lives (at the peak of Hong Kong films in previous lives, the number of films films was more than 200 every year). The reason for this is that the theater monopoly system has caused the number of film companies in Hong Kong to plummet. Many companies that were once prosperous in previous lives have been suppressed by three alliances in this life. For example, Debao, Children's City, Best Partner, Ufo, etc.

Second, the system of blockbusters restricts the flow of actors and directors. In the past life, celebrities and directors signed agreements with the company, and whoever gave them the price would help them shoot movies. At that time, even the first-line superstars such as Lin Qingxia, Zhou Runfa, Zhou Xingchi, Wang Qixian, Guan Zhilin, and Li Lianjie made a lot of bad movies.

But now outstanding stars and directors are monopolized by three alliances. Even if other film companies want to make movies, they cannot hire very good stars. If the directors do not have any guarantees at the box office, they will naturally be too lazy to take the risk of filming.

Third, there are more channels for Hong Kong movies to be released than in previous lives. In addition to Taiwan and Southeast Asia, there are also South Korea, Fusang, Europe and the United States. The returns are also richer than in previous lives.

Under this situation, film companies are also willing to invest more money in filming. In order to become more popular in overseas markets, they adopt the "blockbuster strategy" to streamline the number of films, invest more funds in blockbusters, and adopt the "simplified military and government" strategy.

Several reasons have made the number of Hong Kong films far lower than that of previous lives, but in terms of quality, the current Hong Kong films are much higher than that of previous lives.

In my previous life, when Hong Kong films became popular, many companies were busy filming films, shooting whatever they were popular, and using which actors were popular.

Like Wang Xiaoxian, he filmed more than 20 ghost films, while Lin Qingxia played Hajiu's return to "Dongfang Bubai", which were all the bad consequences of filming following the trend at that time.

Among the eighty movies, the mainland has only introduced twenty movies. Although it sounds small, only one-quarter of the movies have a chance. However, compared with the import value of American movies, the mainland has actually given quite preferential treatment.

Back then, when China negotiated with the United States, the bilateral agreement reached was that the mainland allowed the import of twenty foreign language films every year. The United States produced hundreds of movies a year.

The share ratio of twenty movies is also set to 30%, which means that in addition to deducting special film funds and taxes, Hong Kong producers can get 30% of the box office revenue.

If Hong Kong movies are released in Hong Kong, they can earn at least 40% of the box office. If it is a theater chain, 70% or 80% are also possible.

However, summer was still very satisfied, because when Hollywood movies entered China in their previous life, the initial share of the movie was only 13%. Later, after a new round of negotiations, it rose to 25%.

Furthermore, when Hong Kong films entered Taiwan, South Korea, Fuso and European and American countries, the proportion of accounts was lower than 30%. So it is really obvious that the mainland has supported Hong Kong films.

...

In addition to the quota for twenty Hong Kong films, the Mainland has also decided to establish a special fund to support the co-production program of Hong Kong and the Mainland. Any Hong Kong film company that cooperates with the Mainland to shoot films will receive assistance from funds, taxes, venues and other aspects. This will greatly promote cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and the Mainland.

In order to avoid unhappy things in the cooperation process, under Xia Tian’s suggestion, there will be a special association responsible for supervising and reviewing the co-production films between the two places.

The reason why Xia Tian advised this is that he wanted to first villains and then gentlemen to kill dangerous signs in the cradle and avoid causing a large group of people to be affected if something happens in the future.

You should know that in the past life, the mainland also actively cooperated with Hong Kong filmmakers, but Hong Kong filmmakers did not worry-free. They made many films that satirize the mainland, such as "Cousin, You Are Good!" starring Zheng Yuling, "Blue Kite" directed by Tian Zhuang, "Senten Monk" directed by Luo Zhuoyao, etc.

These film themes are prohibited, either involved in politics, or involved in cesium, or filmed illegally. The general public encountered many unexpected problems, which made the mainland cut off its thoughts and interrupted the co-production plan in 1994. It was not until 2003 that the mainland restarted the co-production plan. However, Hong Kong films were already dead at that time.

So in order for this tragedy to happen again, Xia Tian gave both sides a vaccination in advance and required strict management of co-production films. In this way, although some inconvenience will be caused in a short period of time, in fact, if a system is formed, it will be beneficial to both sides.

...

In addition, the Mainland also vaguely revealed that if cooperation between Hong Kong and the Mainland is pleasant, the Mainland will allow Hong Kong theater dealers to open cinemas in the Mainland. For this, summer welcomes you with both hands.

Although the mainland film market will be hit by the thief in the next ten years and shrinking year by year, opening a cinema for a long time will not only not make money, but will lose money.

But then again, in the long run, Hong Kong theater businessmen will be beneficial to the development of the film industry and there is still hope to make money in the future.

Because of his previous life, the mainland film market had already flourished and became the second largest box office center in the world, second only to the United States. If we start now and occupy a good position in advance, we will naturally make money after the film market is booming in the future.

More importantly, if you have theaters in your hands, you can directly control the mainland film industry. If you have theaters in your hands, you have the ability to suppress or support any film company. After all, without theaters in your hands, no matter how awesome the film company is, it will not be big.

Just like the New Art City, before it was supported by Princess Jin Cinema, it was just a small film company. With Princess Jin’s strong support, it became one of the three giants in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

If he becomes a giant in the mainland theater industry in summer, he will have a considerable influence on the film industry. Movies have always been regarded as the locomotive of the entertainment industry. It will drive the development of other industries in the entertainment industry from top to bottom.

Because the movie has the strongest ability to promote people, Ni Ni immediately became a top actress in the mainland because she starred in the film "The Flowers of War" directed by Zhang Yimou. In comparison, although Sun Li has filmed many popular TV series, she knows that she has not yet made a name for herself in the film industry.

In addition, the investment in movies is huge and the production is excellent, which will also drive the cultivation of talents and the upgrading of technology. For example, computer special effects technology starts from the production of movies, and later slowly enters TV series, advertisements and even short videos.
