Since 1983

Chen Kexin, 33 years old, is currently an excellent director and will be promoted to first-rate next year.

When I was young, I was very festive, short and round, and not aggressive. In fact, he is flexible, very sensitive to wind direction, and is a shrewd businessman.

He had never heard of the other party, so he was baffled by this invitation, but Yindu's connection might be due to his background.

"Admiration for a long time! "A Tale of Two Cities" and "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", I will never tire of watching them."

"Excellent, Mr. Xu is also a filmmaker?"

"Yes, I have made several films in the Mainland. Does Director Chen have any new films recently?"

"There is a film in the making, and it will be released early next year."

After chatting for a while, Xu Fei said, "It's true that many people use literary films and commercial films to distinguish films, but most directors still want to have both.

There are not many things that can be done, and I think Director Chen is one of them. I have a script in my hand, I wonder if you are interested? "

He pushed the notebook, Chen Kexin looked at the synopsis, and said with a strange look: "This is, is this a mainland movie?"

"No, I want to make a co-production and release it in 97."

"..."

Chen Kexin understood, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he still had to be polite, "I want to take a look first."

"Okay, I hope there is good news."

After sitting for a while, the other party said goodbye.

"Boss, change to new tea!"

The waiter came and took away the teapot, made a new pot, and changed the cup. Xu Fei poured it for himself and sipped it. After about ten minutes, the door opened again.

Both good and evil and funny, crazy and chivalrous and gentle. Behind an ordinary face, there seem to be countless characters and highlights hidden.

As soon as this person came in, there was quite a commotion, and the diners went over to sign autographs and take pictures. He apologized to this side and came over after finishing his work.

"Mr. Liang, please sit down."

When Xu Fei poured tea, the other party really picked it up and took a sip, then slammed it down, revealing his arrogance:

"Who is for? Who is against?"

Nonsence!

This person is Liang Jiahui. This year, "The Secret Life of Empress Dowager Cixi" will be released-hey, it's so good to read this book.

He was as baffled as Chen Kexin, and after a few chats, Xu Fei also handed over a script.

In 1997, a large number of gift films were produced. He acted in "Rush to the Nine Heavens".

We'll have a chat and understand the purpose of the meeting, but I'm a little worried.

"Mr. Xu, I haven't tried this kind of work, and the style may not match."

"Don't worry, we will take the commercial route and try our best to reconcile."

"Who are the other actors?"

"Currently only Ge You has been booked, and I plan to invite Gong Li, Zhang Manyu, and Jiang Wen."

Xu Fei was very honest with him. When Liang Jiahui heard about the lineup, it was a big deal, and the top players in the mainland were all there.

After thinking for a moment, he also said to read the script.

"Boss, change to new tea."

"..."

There are already whispers in the store, who is this pretty guy? Beautiful and imposing, where is the big shot.

The tea is exchanged for three pots, and the third guest has also arrived.

"Xu Sheng, wow, finally saw the big grain guy!"

"What nonsense? Are you speaking Cantonese?"

"Cantonese, they all believe it."

The visitor was ordinary and ordinary-looking, and after a few words he suddenly became serious, "Mr. Xu, what instructions do you have?"

This person's surname is Song, an employee of the world, and he followed Xu Fei early. Longda opened a film and television company in Hong Kong, put it into operation, and asked him to be the boss.

He is quick-witted, loyal, and gifted with language.

"Chen Kexin."

Xu Fei mentioned a name.

"In 1991, Zeng Zhiwei and Zhong Zhen contributed capital, and Chen Kexin participated in the shares with the director's fee. The three founded the "Filmmaker Production Company", which is called UFO in English.

The movie I'm currently making is called "Grandma·Fanfan". The investment is not small, and it's a literary film. I think it will hit the box office. "

"What happens if you pounce?"

"UFO is small in size, and a movie can go bankrupt if it fails miserably. Chen Kexin's "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" was a big hit last year. Golden Harvest has always wanted him to make a sequel, but he didn't agree.

If "Grandma: Fanfan" hits the market, it is likely to shoot this to make up for it.

In addition, he still has a script called "Sweet Honey", and he has been looking for investment. "

"Oh, yes, it's not in vain."

"Boss Xu taught me well!"

"Do you know what I sent you for?"

"Don't forget, we want to strengthen the spiritual civilization of Hong Kong filmmakers!"

"That's the long-term goal, and the short-term is to buy the bottom. But to make the company's name first, start with "Sweet Honey"."

Xu Fei paused, and ordered one by one:

"Zeng Zhiwei has a good relationship with Golden Harvest, and this film will eventually fall on Golden Harvest. You contact Chen Kexin in advance, you don't need to invest all of it, just participate."

"You know "Young and Dangerous"?"

"Know!"

"Find a way to get involved, and you don't need to invest all of it. If there is no accident, the company will be well-known next year. I will entrust you with the co-production and cooperate with the world."

"..."

Manager Song didn't quite understand, and asked, "Mr. Xu, why do you have to go to such lengths?"

"Hong Kong movies have been brilliant for nearly two decades. Now that foreign films are coming in, 97 is coming back, the market is saturated, and audiences are fatigued, it's time to come to an end. I predict that in a few years, the film market will decline sharply.

After the reunification, the mainland will inevitably strengthen cooperation with Hong Kong, and a large number of filmmakers will go north.

Hong Kong film technology is very good, but its shortcomings are also serious. Instead of letting them muddy the water, we should contract the fishpond first. From now on, you can contact me anytime to report news about the movie market.

I'll give you some more scripts, make it into a movie, distribute it and find a banker to help. "

"clear!"

"Recruit more technical talents, recruit a group of obedient ones, naturalize a group of neutral ones, and recruit a group of disobedient ones, and keep them as an example to others."

"clear!"

"The decline of Hong Kong's film market will be left to us to take the lead. When filmmakers go north, we will be the role models. Once you have an idea in mind, which ones are good and which ones are bad."

"Finally strengthen the construction of spiritual civilization!" Manager Song continued.

"Hehe, can it be done?"

"Guaranteed to complete the task!"

Manager Song's blood boiled with enthusiasm.

"Drink tea, drink tea."

Xu Fei poured him another glass.

After sending the other party away, he settled the bill and walked to the side of the street, full of traffic and prosperity. The sunshine in October is still dazzling, far warmer than in the north.

This year he seems to be leisurely, but in fact he has done a lot of things, Manager Song is one of them. I really thought that he came to Hong Kong for "The Great Master of Tai Chi", that's not enough.

It is said that after 1997, Hong Kong film and television professionals went north one after another.

Like Taiwanese filmmakers, they have brought developed entertainment experience, but they use policies to take care of all kinds of tricks.

Because of the rapid development of the mainland, a large amount of capital has entered the circle, impetuous and false, and the bare words are: "People are stupid, and there is a lot of money. Welcome to the pit!"

In 2004, co-production regulations stipulated that the proportion of main actors from the mainland should not be less than one-third of the total number of main actors in the film.

Hong Kong male stars are more attractive, and the male lead is usually from Hong Kong. According to regulations, the heroine must be from the mainland. As a result, for many years in a row, the queens of the Academy Awards are all mainland actresses.

So trouble started, and Wu Siyuan said:

"Now Hong Kong actors are dying, why? It's all co-production regulations.

If you use a Hong Kong actor, you must use a mainland actress. If you can use a big name, of course use a big name. Young people have no chance, and there are no more women. There are no female stars in Hong Kong now, and male stars are getting old, with no successors. "

Wang Zulan also said: "If you want to fight for more places for Hong Kong people, they say no, the places are full. Because of this policy, sometimes it affects the job opportunities of Hong Kong entertainers."

? ? ?

It's none of our business if you don't pick it up?

Match the top mainland actors with their second-rate actors, use a lot of money from the mainland to support the production team in Hong Kong, and in the end they are still forced here.

Chafan has no attitude and needs education.

...

Of course, in 2019, the government issued new regulations: Hong Kong people will no longer be restricted in the number of film productions in the Mainland.

(besides……)
