In order to help Hong Kong films survive, Xia Tian worked hard to bring the relationship between the Hong Kong entertainment industry and the mainland, and made a lot of efforts to promote cooperation between the two places.

With his efforts, Tianxia Entertainment cooperates very closely with the mainland, with more than 20 TV series co-produced every year, and the cooperation between actors is also very close.

In terms of film, directors such as Wang Jing, Chen Musheng, Liu Zhenwei, Ye Weimin, Chen Jiashang, and Chen Kexin moved to the mainland to experience life in order to make movies that match the tastes of mainland audiences.

Therefore, after the filming of Tianxia Entertainment was made, it was more in line with the tastes of the mainland people and thus achieved a good box office in the mainland.

But Jiahe, a director under Xinyi City, is not as down-to-earth as the director of Tianxia Entertainment. The filming is not suitable for the taste of mainland audiences at all. It is just to play the old tricks I used in Hong Kong again, making the audience want to vomit after eating it.

For example, director Li Lichi, who has worked with Zhou Xingchi many times before, came to the mainland to film "The Four Talents in Jiangnan", which is obviously making money by making money by the fame of "Tang Bohu's Delicacy".

As a result, he didn't polish the script well and suffered many logical flaws.

For example, the first thing Tang Bohu taught illiterate Qiu Xiang to practice calligraphy, and the next thing Qiu Xiang sneaked into the secret room to peek at the documents; he was walking around the lantern to guess riddles, and the last four words were "Dog Raising Daming", which is the homonym of Cantonese "Researching Daming for a Long Time". But the key is that the pronunciation of "Dog" and "Dog" in Mandarin is completely different. Li Lichi doesn't care about it, and the photos are not wrong.

Therefore, the quality of the movies produced was extremely poor. They were released for two weeks and had a box office of less than 20 million yuan, and they were full of criticisms, which seriously ruined their reputation.

...

The reason for this is mainly because the mainland was poor, the film industry was weak, and Hong Kong was rich and the film industry was strong, so Hong Kong filmmakers were used to being arrogant.

I thought that I could get high box office in the mainland by taking pictures casually, so I refused to come down to the ground and figure out the psychology of mainland audiences and what they wanted to watch. Therefore, the movies they made were not in line with the tastes of mainland audiences, so naturally they could not get high box office.

For these people’s failures, Xia Tian can only give them two words worthy of it!

The bubbles on the feet are taken by themselves! They look down on the mainland audience, do not value them, and do not film well, and end up shooting a piece of shit. This is no wonder anyone.

And Xia Tian knows that the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. People like these are used to being proud, so it is very difficult to change their ideas and keep their feet on the ground.

In my previous life, many Hong Kong filmmakers couldn't make a living in Hong Kong. When they came to the mainland entertainment industry, they had to pretend to be a master. I have seen this phenomenon many times in summer.

It can be said that he is a self-inflicted crime and cannot survive.

Therefore, Xia Tian has no sympathy for the experiences of these people.

...

Xia Tian is actually not interested in acquiring Jiahe and Xinyi City.

One example, Jiahe and Xinyi City's film library are now in his hands. Jiahe and Xinyi City's cinemas are much worse than the world's theaters, so he is not interested in taking over. Jiahe and Xinyi City's artists are not interested in signing here.

Because in the mainland entertainment industry alone, hundreds of people sign in to the company every year, there is no shortage of people in summer now. Moreover, Hong Kong actors actually have no advantages over mainland actors.

Mainland actors have low pay, are obedient, and have good acting skills, which is more suitable for the tastes of mainland audiences. However, Hong Kong actors are not qualified by language alone. Speaking Mandarin like a bird's song is inherently at a disadvantage in the development of the mainland. Therefore, instead of signing a group of Hong Kong artists, Xia Tian would rather sign more mainland artists by himself.

So in this case, Jiahe and Xinyi City will have no inducement or power for Xia Tian. Naturally, there is no need for him to take down the two companies.

Second, as long as the New Art City still exists, the Hong Kong film industry will still be in a three-legged position, and the World Entertainment will have competitors.

If both of them were acquired by summer, Tianxia Entertainment would really have no rivals. At that time, Tianxia Entertainment, which has no rivals, will lose the motivation to move forward and will not benefit the company's development.

Just like TVB, after losing its rival, ATV, the entire TV station fell, and the quality of the TV series produced plummeted. In the past, TVB's TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" set a record of viewership in more than a dozen provinces when it was broadcasted in the mainland. But now, even online video platforms like Youku, the number of clicks on TVB dramas is not very good.

Therefore, although Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia wanted to sell the company to Xiatian and finally make some money to enjoy their grandchildren, Xiatian never nodded.

But he also knew that since Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia had no intention of running a company, then Jiahe and Xinyi City's loneliness is inevitable. After all, snakes do not leave without heads, and birds do not fly without heads. If a company is not willing to do it, it will be useless for the people below to play their lives. Therefore, the key is to find a good buyer for Jiahe and Xinyi City.

In his opinion, Huang Baiming is pretty good.

First of all, Huang Baiming is one of the seven monsters in Xinyi City. He was the head of the company back then and is still in charge of Oriental Pictures, so he has a considerable degree of management experience.

Its Oriental Pictures is now reducing its costs and mainly films some comedy and ghost films. The investment in comedy and ghost films is small, and there is always a market for them to make steady profits without losing money. For Oriental Pictures, which has small capital and low profits, there is nothing safer than it.

However, only filming comedy and ghost movies has no future. The real money-making movies are action movies and science fiction movies. Just like the most popular thing in Hollywood now is the Marvel Universe series, the box office of the movie is like playing.

After Huang Baiming won the New Art City and Jiahe, he could try to make some big investments. In this way, Oriental Pictures might become a new giant.

Secondly, Huang Baiming himself is very interested in movies. Unlike Mai Jia and Ishida, Huang Baiming himself is not a filmmaker.

Mai Jia studied in the Film Department of New York University in the United States, and later served as an assistant director in "007: The Golden Gun". However, because she is a Chinese, she did not develop well in Hollywood. Ishida is a Shaw Brothers actor. Because of her limited image, she has never played the protagonist and is depressed.

Compared with these two unlucky guys, Huang Baiming was a foreign company manager before entering the industry and earned a lot of money. It was just because he liked acting and drama that he resigned from the company and went home to write scripts. Because his income dropped, he was complained a lot by his wife, but he was determined and could be said to be a person who truly loves art and movies.

In his previous life, when Hong Kong movies were in decline, Huang Baiming did not stop making movies or promoting people. For example, "Ip Man" starring Zhen Zidan was made famous by him.
