Since 1983

The next day.

Fatty Wang came down to have breakfast.

Huang Baiming greeted to sit at a table and asked, "How is your sleep?"

"It's okay, the environment is OK."

"Of course. Bush and Kissinger have been hosted here. Thatcher was also Barabara back then..."

"Hmm."

Fatty Wang nodded his head, only to eat, and then asked: "How many people are attending today?"

"Boss, directors, more than forty."

"No artist?"

"Gigi Leung, the ten outstanding young people in Hong Kong."

Fatty Wang continued to nod his head and continued to eat.

This kind of occasion is a big boss's occasion, then someone asked: What do you do with so many stars?

Put your head together, be strong, and shout 666 after the boss!

After breakfast, about 9 o'clock, gathered in a conference hall in the VIP building.

In the front row of tables, there are N tables at the bottom. In addition to the few who spoke, there were also people such as Yee Dongsheng, Wen Jun, Lao Du, and Wei Jiahui.

The artist representative Gigi, the iconic short hair, tall and charming, is at the peak.

She is also the head of a generation of jade women, who broke out in the "Shuangqi wins face" incident that year, and competed with Shao Meiqi for Iraq. Another gossip with Boss Yang.

That's right, it's Boss Yang again, the "cake incident".

After waiting for a short while, the leaders of several departments entered. After all, it is the entertainment industry, or radio and television as the mainstay. Leader Zhao gave a warm welcome speech.

One by one sat in front of their faces, suits and ties, and then began to speak.

The head of the visiting delegation, Ma Fengguo, was the first one: "We are very grateful for the high-profile and high-standard reception of Hong Kong films by relevant parties.

I have been talking about how to further open up before, but they have stayed at the policy level without professional participation. This time I finally have the opportunity to implement it. I hope that there will be a breakthrough in the details. "

He doesn't speak much and obviously leaves time to others.

The second Dragon Fifth Brother.

"This Northbound Dialogue Group is the largest in history, and I hope it can achieve good results.

In the past, we only expressed our opinions in a scattered manner. This time we were able to discuss with the managers and gave us the opportunity to express our opinions in a concentrated manner. I feel very gratified. "

The representatives speak blunt Mandarin? It sounds very uncomfortable, and I know that the speaking speed is relatively slow.

The terminology is also quite distinctive? Not "leader"? Called "manager".

"From January 1 next year? Hong Kong films will be able to enter the mainland without any restrictions. This is a very good thing.

We respect the management practices of the mainland in film and television production, and we have extensive experience in film distribution.

So I want to make some suggestions:

Want to open up distribution qualifications to Hong Kong companies? Let Hong Kong production companies participate in the distribution of their films.

On the one hand, it can provide more experience to the mainland counterparts? On the other hand, investors are more confident and guaranteed to recover costs. "

Go straight to the subject and hit the nail on the head.

To issue rights!

In fact, in later generations, the country has not developed the exercise of rights? Whether it is for Hong Kong and Taiwan or for Hollywood. Once the issuance is open, it means that it will give up one's own position and let the wolf into the room.

The yishi form of dispute? This is a big deal!

Brother Long five talked a lot? The leader on the stage did not make a statement? Instead, he invited the next one.

The next one is Lao Song.

"First of all, I agree with Mr. Xiang's proposal on distribution rights. Like "Infernal Affairs", the release time of the two places is different, which creates an opportunity for piracy. So far I have not been able to introduce it. I am deeply saddened.

Let me be more specific? Can joint ventures be allowed? Is Hong Kong and the Mainland jointly established an issuing company?

At the same time, I also hope that Hong Kong films can enjoy the same treatment as mainland films as soon as possible.

I'm telling the truth? Too few splits? We didn't make a profit. The mainland has strict censorship, and Hong Kong films will definitely have to be deleted and revised repeatedly if they want to come in.

Over time? I don't think it can bring prosperity to Hong Kong movies, but it will decline even more. "

This is what Teacher Xu taught, after all, Lao Song's position is on that side.

Sure enough, the others cast admiring glances at him, worthy of the savior!

Followed Zou Wenhuai to talk about the theater, Huang Baiming talked about taxes.

"After Hong Kong films were introduced to the mainland, the relevant taxes reached almost one-third of the total issuance recovery cost, and the investors were almost unprofitable.

Can Hong Kong films be exempted from taxes? "

The leader on the stage responded immediately:

"We attach great importance to your suggestion and will reflect it to the national taxation department as soon as possible, hoping to consider it."

The consequences of consideration are of course not considered.

Finally, Fatty Wang.

As a representative of the director, he said: "What I care most about is the censorship system. We hope to implement the film classification system as soon as possible, which is conducive to the production and investment of investors..."

"..."

Leader Zhao listened very seriously and kept recording.

Roughly divided into a few points:

What Hong Kong attaches the most importance to is undoubtedly the issue.

Second, Hong Kong films are required to receive the same treatment as Mainland films.

Then there are issues such as theater lines and taxes.

The last is the classification system.

She looked at these and frowned slightly, really grasping the point! If they do this, it is equivalent to transplanting the Hong Kong film system to the mainland, seamlessly connecting with the large market of 1.3 billion people!

Contrary to the original intention of the country, the country hopes to develop co-production, but these people do not mention co-production.

And there is a meaning inside and out: You have to help! Why don't you help? ? ?

Soon, it will be noon.

Several leaders studied for a while, and Zhao leader responded in a unified way: "We have written down all of your opinions, and we will study and discuss them as soon as possible, so as to bring about a result that is mutually satisfactory and benefits both sides.

Here, I will briefly answer the question of the classification system.

We have been discussing this classification system, and have collected a lot of information. We also hope that there will be a film classification system that adapts to China's national conditions and can be implemented in China.

Based on everyone’s views, I find that we have common goals on certain issues, but I also hope that everyone understands that a policy decision is not overnight and requires full research and analysis..."

Leader Zhao didn't lie. The classification system was mentioned in the 1980s, and it was always noisy and noisy until 2020.

There can be no classification system in the Mainland!

...

The next day, continue the discussion.

In addition to these issues, Xu Xiaoming, a representative of the TV drama industry, the director of "Fearless" and "Chen Zhen", proposed to relax the policy on co-productions.

The leader said: will investigate as soon as possible, next year will introduce measures in accordance with the film management measures.

Eh!

This group of people has tasted it, and the specific time limit should be true.

Those who didn't give it should be clichés.

The next night, several big men met again, and the atmosphere was heavy.

"The distribution right is definitely not good. Look at them, they don't even have a positive reply."

"Hong Kong capital is also a foreign capital. The mainland will not have the right to open the issuance when it enters the WTO and negotiate with the United States. It insists very strongly.

"Forget it, is there any hope for taxes?"

"The tax administrator hasn't come, so shirk it."

"There is no need to ask about the treatment of Hong Kong films. They value co-productions."

"Wow, what's left then?"

"The classification system will be mentioned tomorrow, at least it is easy to review."

This is called retreat and retreat.

Lao Song began to cut people and said, "I didn't listen to what I said. This time I came here and I probably won't find anything. The mainland focuses on developing co-productions. We want to continue our lives for Hong Kong films, and we better follow the policy.

Co-productions are also okay, more than 40% of the accounts are split, just for some distribution fees. We have stars and directors. This is an advantage.

The mainland doesn't like us coming in, so we don't. As long as there is money to make, everyone is happy. "

"..."

The big guys have their own ideas, but they have one thing in common, make money!

Including those directors and actors, how many are so noble to save Hong Kong films? Not to continue making money? !
