2446 [Alarm Bell Ringing]

When everyone here was stunned when they heard Xia Tian talk about Tuozaka, they nodded in agreement.

The harm to Hong Kong films is indeed very serious.

Video tapes such as Cheng Long and Hong Jingbao could sell millions of videos in the early 1990s, which is almost the same as the box office of the movie. The revenue source of third-level films is mainly video tapes.

However, in the past two years, with the hot sale of VDs, the Tuozaka VD discs have become more and more common. Many movies have just finished the midnight show, and the Tuozaka movie discs have appeared on the market the next day.

The thief disc, which costs five yuan per piece, snatched away a large number of viewers, not only caused the sales of genuine movie discs to decline, but also saw a decline in the box office of theaters.

According to incomplete statistics, the annual income of Hong Kong films is only about 300 million Hong Kong dollars. But it is pitiful that Hong Kong films have only 2 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Therefore, it has become a consensus that the thief is really harmful to people.

"Mr. Xia, do you have any way to rectify the Tuoban?" Everyone here asked expectantly.

If anyone in the Hong Kong film industry is most likely to crack down on Tuozaka, then it is only summer. He has many ideas, great power, and is willing to give him face in all aspects. If he wants to ban Tuozaka, it should not be impossible.

"I'm sorry, everyone, I can't feel the thief. And I can tell you that thief will not be banned in the next 20 or 30 years, and it will become more and more serious." Xia Tian shook his head and said.

"Ah?!How could this happen?", "Mr. Xia, are you kidding?" Everyone asked in surprise when they heard him say this.

Now the Thundersaka is already rampant. If it is still rampant, then will these filmmakers still have a way out? Wouldn’t they all be killed by the Thundersaka?

"You may have heard of the Internet. In the future, our movies will be uploaded to the Internet for free to download. They can enjoy our latest movies without spending a penny.

Everyone on the Internet is anonymous. No matter whether it is uploaded or downloaded, it will not be found out, and naturally it will not be punished. Therefore, in the future, the thief will be flooded, so you must be mentally prepared." Xia Tian explained.

After hearing his explanation, everyone here suddenly realized and then fell into deep worries.

...

"Mr. Xia, what do you think we should do? Will this industry collapse?" Xu Ke asked with a frown.

He has always been very interested in high-tech, so he is very familiar with the Internet. He is even a netizen who often discusses new technologies for filming with colleagues in the United States through email.

He knew Xia Tian was right. The Internet is very free, a place beyond law, and no country has any law to restrict it. In this way, it is naturally inevitable that someone will commit crimes through the Internet.

A few years ago, hackers have used the Internet to spread computer viruses; some people have attacked American government websites, steal secret information, etc.

Since all these things can be done, it is naturally not incredible to upload a movie online for people to download.

But in this way, it is really terrifying. With the amazing coverage of the Internet, all users can download movies without leaving their homes.

In this way, who else would be foolish in the cinema to queue up to buy tickets to watch movies? Then wouldn’t the film industry collapse?

"There is no good way." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "Everything has a process of rise and fall. When the world comes, the world and the world work together, and heroes are not free. The ability to develop Hong Kong movies also occupies the light of the right time, place, and people. Now the decline is the world and people have changed."

...

The reason why Hong Kong movies rose is that they have the light of harmony between time, place and people.

During the Cold War, the culture of the East Asian countries was conservative, but Hong Kong was a free city, which was very conducive to artistic creation.

The geographical location is the center of Hong Kong in East Asia, with the South Ocean in the south, the mainland in the north, and Taiwan and Fusang in the east. It also has a world-class deep-water port, which makes Hong Kong one of the world's largest freight centers and has a very developed trade.

This also makes Hong Kong's economy very prosperous. The development of the economy stimulates the prosperity of culture. Moreover, its geographical advantages are also convenient for the dissemination of culture.

People are in war periods, and a large number of talents flocked to Hong Kong. For example, Zheng Yutong, Huo Yingdong, Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang, etc. Most of the rich Chinese in Hong Kong are not from their ancestral homes.

In addition, there are a large number of literati, talents, celebrities, etc., such as Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng, Ni Geng, Liu Jialiang, Wei Wen, Cheng Long, the four heroes of the Xu family, etc.

The right time, place, and people have jointly created the prosperity of Hong Kong and also driven the prosperity of Hong Kong's entertainment industry.

But now, the world and people have changed.

As the Cold War ended, various places gradually changed from conservative to open, and the local cultural and artistic market is recovering.

The literary and artistic markets such as South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan and other places have ushered in a boom in development. As a result, the Hong Kong market will naturally be subject to competition.

In terms of geographical advantages, Hong Kong's freight center location is challenged by Star Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea and the mainland.

These places are making a big fuss about ports, such as Kaohsiung Port, Keelung Port, Xingpo Port, Dezhen Port, Guangzhou Port, Busan Port... These ports are all grabbing Hong Kong's business. Hong Kong's geographical location is no longer irreplaceable.

On the human side, Hong Kong's attractiveness to talents is now continuing to decline. Hong Kong's population growth is also slowing down, which has led to the lack of talents. Summer noticed this a long time ago, so since a few years ago, it has been transporting talents to Hong Kong.

The future changes at the three levels of heaven, earth and man are all developing in a direction that is unfavorable to Hong Kong. Therefore, the decline of Hong Kong and the decline of Hong Kong films are inevitable and there is no way to avoid it.

...

After listening to Xia Tian’s explanation, everyone present was stunned.

They were still happy before coming, and after hearing what Xia Tian said, they fell to the bottom.

"Mr. Xia, then can we just wait to die?" Wang Jing asked unwillingly. He didn't want to finish it like this.

"Of course it's not necessary to wait for death. The trapped beasts are still fighting, and they cannot give up until the last moment." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "We should still make good movies with our hearts to attract audiences to the theaters. Only in this way can we maintain the prosperity of Hong Kong films as much as possible.

In addition, it is to actively explore the market. I will help you save the American market, but everyone shoots more excellent works. Otherwise, they will be bad movies and I can't force it.

Also, from now on, spend less money. At least, save more money while there are still scenes to film, so as not to get old and have no scenes to film, and you can’t even afford to eat.”
