Chapter 1072 The Mainland Market
Siyuan Films is also at the forefront in Xiangjiang, second only to Jiayi, Golden Harvest, New Art City, and Disson, Yongsheng, and Asia Films are at the same level, but it is lower than these few in terms of capital.

As for what Li Guangyu said about investing in blockbuster films, he hopes to maintain Xiangjiang's position in the film market. He knows that this is feasible, but only the rich can do it. The dozens of film companies like them can't do this. A loss in one can bankrupt them.

He said aloud: "The biggest difficulty for our Xiangjiang film industry at present is the lack of its own market. If we want to support so many film companies, it is impossible without a huge market. What we need now is to find one that can provide us with stable support. market, so that we can talk about future development.”

After hearing this, the bosses of the small and medium-sized film companies present fell silent. Jiayi and Jiahe are powerful, and the Xiangjiang films released in Japan every year are basically produced by several top film companies. They have no hope at all. If there is no stable external market, just the small pond of Xiangjiang, countless companies will be waiting to go bankrupt.

Looking at the silent people in the venue, Run Run Shaw said aloud: "Everyone, sir, the biggest losses in the Japanese market are a few large film and television companies, and few of your small and medium film companies can be released in Japan every year. You are nothing more than I am worried that this policy will be introduced one after another in various places, such as South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and other places.

Now the public opinion in these places is quite high, and many local film companies are suggesting to learn from the Japanese government and impose restrictions on our Xiangjiang films. "

What Run Run Shaw said was what they were worried about. If the quantity restrictions were implemented in various places, these small and medium-sized film companies would have no overseas market at all.

Cheng Long, general manager of Veyron Films, said: "Uncle Liu, Uncle Huai, Li Sheng, Lei Sheng, Lin Sheng, now our Xiangjiang film industry is at a critical point of life and death, what do you think?"

Over the years, Cheng Long has become more and more famous. Last year, he founded a film company by himself, in which Golden Harvest holds 60% of the shares, and he personally holds 40% of the shares. At present, the development of this film company is not bad , one has produced two films, and relying on his fame, he has won a considerable box office.

As a top action superstar in Asia, he obviously doesn't want Xiangjiang to lose overseas markets, which will be a great blow to him personally and the company.

He also knows that if there is anyone among them who can help the Xiangjiang film industry to tide over the difficulties, then only Li Guangyu, and only the Li's consortium has such a great influence in Baodao and Southeast Asia, so as to prevent their films from being affected in these areas. limit.

Li Guangyu saw that everyone focused on himself again. After thinking for a while, he said: "As for our other markets in Asia, we must try our best to hold on. Actors from other regions are also used as much as possible, which will also help our film enter these regions.

In addition, I hope that our film industry association can set up a delegation to visit the capital, so that our films can be directly entered the mainland as much as possible. A market of one billion people.

Although their current economy is not too rich, the mainland economy is developing very fast. As long as we have a huge market in the mainland, our Hong Kong film and television industry will be invincible. "

At present, Xiangjiang Films can only enter the mainland through Yindu. This is not what Li Guangyu wants. He hopes that the films of these companies can enter by themselves. Not bad at the box office.

Now even if they sell their films to Yindu, they can't sell much money. So far, Jiayi Group has not sold a single film to Yindu organization. Li Guangyu has always hoped that he can avoid Yindu organization and directly enter the mainland. market.

Some small companies listened to Li Guangyu's suggestion but remained surprisingly silent. They had a kind of worry in their hearts. Now Japan has restricted them. If they do this, I am afraid that Baodao will respond immediately and restrict their release. .

The Li’s consortium has a great business, and the Li’s consortium has a great influence in Baodao. Even if Jiayi does this, the Baodao government will treat it as invisible, just like the continuous investment of the Li’s consortium in the mainland. , Baodao has never been indifferent, and the development of Jiayi Group there has not been affected in any way.

They are different. If they dare to jump like this, the Baodao government doesn’t mind giving them an example. Now that there is no Japanese market, Baodao is the largest overseas ticket store in the Xiangjiang film industry. If it is also lost here, they will develop. will be more difficult.

Wu Siyuan quite agrees with Li Guangyu's words. He was born in Shanghai and came to Xiangjiang at the age of 13. In his heart, the three regions are one family. He has always hoped that filmmakers from the three regions can form an association to promote the vigorous development of Chinese-language films.

Not long after Li Guangyu's words fell, he said: "I personally agree with Li Sheng's opinion, the mainland is a very broad market, everyone should be aware of the amazing box office achieved by the Shaolin Temple movie a few years ago.

In the past few years, the mainland's economic level has further improved, and the market will only grow bigger. As long as we can enter the mainland market, as long as we negotiate the distribution of benefits with the mainland, I believe that with the support of the mainland market, we will definitely be able to compete with Hollywood. "

Some of the bosses present also expressed their concerns. Such worries are common, even Lei Juekun and Zou Wenhuai have this concern in their hearts.

One is the uncertainty of the mainland market. They don't know whether the other party will agree to Li Guangyu's proposal. If not, they will suffer heavy losses. Formosa will definitely not be indifferent to this.

The chances of the mainland agreeing with them really make them uncertain. First of all, they have moved the interests of Yindu. Originally, Yindu specializes in this aspect. If they want to bypass Yindu, I am afraid that they will face many obstacles in this regard. .

They didn't know what Yinhui's attitude would be, but they thought of themselves and others. If there was a group that wanted to grab their own interests, they would definitely try their best to stop it.

The second is the issue of film review. Due to the differences in regional values ​​and cultures, they estimate that many of their films that can be released in Hong Kong will not pass the review in the Mainland, and films suitable for the Mainland will fail in Hong Kong and overseas.

There are too many problems involved, and at the same time, the risks are too great. It is very likely that if you are not careful, you will face bankruptcy. This is why most members of the association choose to remain silent.

Li Guangyu said: "Everyone, I know everyone's concerns, but now it's time for us to make a choice. Now we still have a chance to enter the mainland. When the door to the mainland is closed in the future, we can really do it." We have lost everything, and the Xiangjiang market cannot support us.

And do you think Formosa will not introduce policies to protect their own businesses?Not only Taiwan will be held, but Southeast Asian countries will also be held. Our Xiangjiang will return to the mainland in 1997. We belong to the same country. As long as we enter now, we will gain opportunities in the future. "
