Chapter 701 Pilot

"There are 100 theater movies in Hong Kong every year. We don't have to contract about 100 movies or about 20 movies. It's enough to stabilize their heads and backbone.

The buyout fee for these 20 films is about 20 million Hong Kong dollars. What needs to be discussed now is how we can use to circle this share in China, and as long as it can be achieved, they will fully express their loyalty."

It seems to be simple all of a sudden.

Chen Qi's statement was too bold and the leaders could not react in a moment.

He was not in a hurry and went to the delegation again.

He did not talk about specific issues with the delegation, but only talked about the position, saying: "First, we must accept two points. First, unconditional cooperation with the mainland film system; second, there must be no scenes of slandering and reactionary movements in the movies in the future."

Chen Qi expressed his views to both sides and accompanied the delegation to play in the capital, regardless of everyone's mood. He had a good time anyway.

One week, the sixth day was blinking.

After continuing the meeting in the morning, Ding Qiao finally said: "After several days of communication, we have a certain understanding of each other. You have come from afar, and naturally hope to have a result. We are the same, at least a phased progress."

"Xiao Chen, you haven't spoken yet, why not talk about your own thoughts?"

Xiao Chen...

Even though I have heard it many times, the delegation is very strange. Mr. Chen from Xiangjiang is just "Little Chen" in the mainland.

"Okay, then I'll talk."

Ding Qiao set up the stage, Chen Qi jumped up and said, "I have gained a lot after listening to everyone's discussions these days. I think the issue of principle is very important. Before studying Hong Kong films to go north, it is best to clarify what points are first."

Then, he raised the above two positions.

He Guanchang said: "We naturally abide by the mainland's rules and regulations, including censorship. Hong Kong 97 has returned, and the film industry is also looking forward to it. Everyone has a patriotism, and it is natural to love the motherland."

"Okay! We are deeply relieved that you have expressed your opinion."

The leaders were all overjoyed when they said this, especially the Ministry of Truth and the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office. The cultural united front in Hong Kong is an important part of Hong Kong, but it has not been more powerful in the past few decades.

"Since an agreement is reached, I will continue to say it!"

Chen Qi said again: "I have some personal ideas, which are a general direction, and the details still need to be improved and are for reference only."

"A few days ago, we talked about the mainland's box office sharing and it is even more difficult to divide the box office across the country. Then we can pilot it first, for example, take Guangdong Province as a pilot, with 20 Hong Kong film quotas each year, negotiate with Guangdong Film Company to test the box office sharing system."

"There are too few 20 pieces!" He Guanchang said immediately.

"Mr. Chen, how big is the market in Guangdong?"

"Who will supervise the box office? We will supervise it ourselves?"

For a moment, the conference room was very noisy, and Chen Qi signaled to Jingjing and said: "Last year, the total box office nationwide was about 500 million yuan. Guangdong was a major box office center, accounting for nearly 10%. Our ticket price was only 20 cents, and you know what the concept of 100 million yuan is.

Don’t think that the market is open, everything must be progressive step by step. If the response is good, deepen it. For example, if the co-production films are considered quotas? How to divide the accounts? You can do negotiations again.

As for box office supervision, this matter needs to be discussed with relevant departments in Guangdong. If the negotiation is completed, all parties will naturally work together to establish the first province to divide the account in China.

You won’t think about doing nothing, right? You’ll get a share of the money in vain?”

With the leader here, Chen Qi speaks a little more implicitly, otherwise he will scold him: How much does Hong Kong films have to bribe the Freedom Association and the News Bureau every year? Go to the mainland to pick and choose for free?

“…”

The leaders all lowered their heads to cover up their expressions. They were not easy to say anything to their Hong Kong compatriots, so every time they saw Chen Qi's speech, they felt extremely strange and a little refreshing.

The delegation frowned.

At first they thought of talking to the mainland, and naturally they set their sights on the vast market of 1 billion people, so they had a lot of thoughts and would not make any profits in the future. As a result, they found that there were many obstacles in the system here.

Even the box office is not counted clearly, and now I am only given one Guangdong...

Chen Qi said this at the meeting, so he naturally reported to the leader first.

If the agreement fails, there are alternatives.

Of course, he does not want to use alternative solutions, because Guangdong is too suitable for pilot projects, which can lead to many additional industries, such as cinemas, film and television cities, and Zhuzhou Film Studio.

Hong Kong does not need to have too high independent status in culture. Guangdong is connected with Hong Kong, has a common culture, and is born with soil. It can subtly turn Hong Kong films into dependents of Guangdong, and there will be Macau in the future.

This is called the Greater Bay Area!

Chen Qi put forward his opinions, everyone continued to discuss and then discuss.

After a break, the delegation grabbed him and asked various questions.

They understand that this is to use Guangdong to fill in Taiwan’s vacancies, not to make more money, but to be comparable to the previous ones. Just like Cheng Long, the copyright of a film can be sold in Taiwan for several million Hong Kong dollars, can it remain the same in Guangdong?

"You can get a ticket of 20 cents, how much does it take to get a box office of millions?"

Read the original text in Six#9@book/bar!

"This year there are policies, and ticket prices can float. If Guangdong succeeds, there will be a breakthrough. Other provinces will inevitably be jealous. We can talk about it. Including theaters, we can invest in building theaters to accelerate the transformation of audience groups..."

"But how much can you get for the split account?"

Tsk!

Seeing that they were still staring at the share of the money, Chen Qi simply said, "Please take a long-term perspective. This is equivalent to giving you a market with a population of 50 million to develop or not? Guangdong's population is 56.7 million, twice as much as Taiwan. You can make money to the extent of development!"

Development is difficult!

He Guanchang asked: "Mr. Chen, is there any other plan?"

"Yes! You go out to sea with me, kill Hollywood, or you wait for Taiwan to reopen, and we will have another fight."

"Well……"

Everyone was embarrassed and dared not fight again.

Historically, in 1987, the national film market shrank more and more, with one-third of the distribution units in the country suffering losses, and many cinemas began to do other businesses. For example, changing the second floor into a small screening hall, specializing in videotapes, or selling beer, selling cooked food, renting the venue, etc.

In response to this situation, the country has implemented a policy of combining agency issuance, buyout and account division to stimulate the industry.

As a result, I persisted for two years and couldn't play around. In 1989, I turned into copy settlement again.

In other words, the country wanted to make a complete reform in the 1980s, but it failed! Then it delayed and stagnated until the beginning of the new century.

Chen Qi’s current goal is not to reform the mainland, but to stabilize Hong Kong, and the mainland is always taking advantage of it.

In short, whether they wanted to or not, the trip finally came up with something, but the two sides did not agree. The delegation stated that they would go to Guangdong for on-site inspection, and this matter would be subject to the approval of the local government.

The delegation stayed in Beijing for a week and was complicated.

It is difficult to enter the mainland, and Taiwan is sealed again, but it cannot be beaten. How can there be the arrogant and domineering nature of the original time and space? They are all very miserable.
Chapter completed!
