Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

The active performance of Xu Cun and a group of celebrities in Xiangjiang in this East China flood disaster has made everyone in China see that the same blood is thicker than water!

At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared - "The mainland should be completely open to Xiangjiang, at least Xiangjiang films."

This voice is naturally not Xu Cun's - Xu Cun, who has already obtained the qualification to release movies in the Mainland, does not need to make such a voice.

As for who made the sound, Xu Cun could guess with his big toe.

Since the 1990s, the structure of the world's film market has undergone great changes, and the foreign film market of Xiangjiang Films, which excludes DreamWorks Films, has become smaller and smaller.

Prior to this, the foreign film markets of Xiangjiang Films, excluding DreamWorks films, were mainly in Southeast Asian countries and Taiwan. Occasionally, a few films with outstanding box office results could be distributed to Japan and South Korea.

However, since two years ago, countries in Southeast Asia have gradually introduced national film protection laws—from the Philippines, to Thailand, and then to Indonesia, it has become increasingly difficult for Xiangjiang films, which exclude DreamWorks films, to enter the Nanyang film market. In one or two years, Xiangjiang Films, which eliminated DreamWorks Films, seemed to have lost the Nanyang Film Market. The Nanyang Film Market, which was previously known as the back garden of Hong Kong films, now seems to have built a circle of tall, strong and The wall is covered with thorns, and it is more and more difficult for Xiangjiang Films who have removed DreamWorks Films to enter it!

Although Taiwan has not issued a local film protection act, it is impossible for Hong Kong to become an ally with Taiwan as it is getting closer and closer to the mainland. Therefore, the loose policies that Taiwan gave Xiangjiang films earlier will naturally gradually disappear. With the competition between Hollywood films and DreamWorks Films, the situation of Xiangjiang Films, which excludes DreamWorks Films, is not as good as before in Taiwan.

As for Japan and South Korea - in recent years, more and more Japanese and Korean audiences are tired of the routines of Xiangjiang movies other than DreamWorks movies, and instead pursue the special effects of Hollywood movies and DreamWorks movies So much so that even Golden Harvest, who owns Cheng Long, a box office superstar who has considerable box office appeal in Japan and South Korea, has not had a movie that has created brilliance in Japan and South Korea like it did earlier in the past few years.

certainly!

It is not to say that Xiangjiang Films, which excludes DreamWorks Films, has really embarked on the road of decline like the previous life. After more than ten years of layout and management, Xu Cun has established a network covering more than a dozen major films in the world. The super-large theater circuit in the market, and Xu Cun will give some high-quality Xiangjiang movies some places in this super-large theater circuit every year, so how can Xiangjiang movies go down the road of decline like the previous life?

But then again, at present, Xiangjiang Films produces more than 200 films a year, even if DreamWorks' 15 to 20 films are excluded, there are still nearly 200 films. Nearly two hundred movie points?

The most important thing is that these three or five places Xu Cun will generally only give to the big productions jointly produced by Golden Harvest, New Art City, New Times and DreamWorks with an investment of hundreds of millions, and those investments are only tens of millions or even only a few million. Therefore, for those movies with an investment of only tens of millions or even a few million, having this super theater circuit is almost the same as not having this super theater circuit.

Let's look at the mainland again.

Different from the previous generation when mainland movies were not valued because the ticket price was too low, in this life, under the development and cultivation of Xu Cun, the strength and potential of the mainland movie market is seen by every Xiangjiang filmmaker—— According to relevant statistics, in the early 1980s in the Mainland, the average number of viewers for each film was about 208 million (including government agencies and rural projection teams). In the mid-to-late 1980s, due to the blossoming of video theaters nationwide, the number of movie viewers in the mainland was close to 200 million.

Each movie has 200 million people watching, even if only one percent of it is converted into box office, it is enough for most Xiangjiang movies to make a lot of money. Therefore, it is inevitable that those who exclude DreamWorks movies Xiangjiang Films wants to open up the mainland film market.

Moreover, this is not the wishful thinking of Xiangjiang Films, which excludes DreamWorks movies. The large number of state-owned movie theaters in the mainland also have this urgent expectation after seeing DreamWorks theaters making a lot of money!

In addition, the two groups also found a very appropriate timing.

Therefore, as soon as the voice that "the mainland should be completely open to Xiangjiang, at least Xiangjiang films" appeared, it attracted the attention of the central government.

On a path in Shek O Manor.

Ji Pengfei admired the excellent environment around him with fascination, and said, "A Cun, the people from the Propaganda Department asked me to ask you, what is your attitude towards the mainland's complete opening to Xiangjiang films?"

Xu Cun smiled and said, "Oh? Can I still express my opinion on this matter?"

Ji Pengfei said unequivocally: "Your attitude is very important. I can tell you with certainty that if you, A Cun, object, no matter how much they dance, this matter will never pass!"

Xu Cun was surprised: "My attitude is so important?"

Ji Pengfei said: "We are not fools, we know who our real friends are."

Hearing Ji Pengfei's words, Xu Cun pondered for a while, and then said: "I have no objection to the complete opening up of Xiangjiang Films in the Mainland. This should be a good thing for both parties. Xiangjiang has completely returned to the embrace of China."

After hearing Xu Cun's answer, and looking at Xu Cun's unrestrained expression, Ji Pengfei said with relief, "Mr. It is for your own benefit!"

Xu Cun smiled noncommittally—neither did he accept the high hat Ji Pengfei gave him, nor did he deny that he loved the country and the party.

Seeing that Xu Cun didn't take his high hat, Ji Pengfei said calmly, "Your environment is really good. Living here, I can live at least ten years longer!"

Xu Cun said with a smile: "Mr. Ji, if you like it, I'll build you a hut here."

Ji Pengfei said with a wry smile: "I really want to retire with you, but unfortunately... I'm afraid I won't have this chance in my life!"

From the time of Premier Zhou to the present, Ji Pengfei has been assisting Premier Zhou and Mr. Deng in dealing with foreign affairs. There are too many diplomatic affairs that Ji Pengfei has to do. How could he retire for retirement, even though he is already 81 this year.

Xu Cun was clear about the importance of Ji Pengfei in diplomacy, so Xu Cun said again: "When you are not busy, you can come and stay with me for two days. It should be fine, right?"

Ji Pengfei smiled and said: "I accept your wish, as long as you can always support my work, it will be better than anything else."

Xu Cun said with a bitter face on purpose: "Mr. Ji, don't I support your job?"

Ji Pengfei put away his smile, then looked at Xu Cun solemnly and said, "What I'm talking about is always...you are about to found a country soon, can you still support my work as much as before?"
