Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1309 The Future of Cold Country Movies

"If it's convenient for Ms. Yang, can I take another car? I have something I want to talk to Mr. Lin alone."

Lin Quanze looked at Lin Daoqiu and Michelle Yeoh very sincerely.

Michelle Yeoh didn't think too much about this, since the other party had something to say to Lin Daoqiu alone, she naturally wouldn't force herself to be a light bulb.

Lin Daoqiu can probably guess what Lin Quanze wants to talk to him about. Although he can't help the other party, Lin Daoqiu doesn't want to reject this director who has dedicated his life to Han Guo movies.

After seeing Lin Daoqiu nodded, Lin Quanze immediately showed a happy expression, and then quickly invited Lin Daoqiu into the car.

For this conversation, Lin Quanze made a special trip to find a translator who is proficient in Chinese.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think the future of Cold Country movies will be?"

As soon as Lin Daoqiu got into the car and just sat down, Lin Quanze asked a big question.

Lin Daoqiu doesn't need to care about the future of Han Country movies, and he won't care about the future of Han Country movies either.

According to Lin Daoqiu's memory, the box office revenue of Han Guo movies in foreign countries basically fluctuates around 6000 to [-] million US dollars a year.

Of course, this is talking about 20 or 30 years later. At this time, the cold country movies are almost unable to hold their own.

"Of course it's bright."

Lin Daoqiu gave a very optimistic answer.

After hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Lin Quanze's face immediately pulled down.

"Mr. Lin is not kidding me, right? Over the years, the box office of Han Country's local films has been surpassed by foreign films, and the ratio is even getting higher and higher. You actually said that the future of Han Country's films is bright?"

Lin Quanze was very angry, he felt that Lin Daoqiu was just perfunctory him.

Unless the other party can give him a convincing reason, Lin Quanze will think that Lin Daoqiu doesn't care about him and Han Guo Movie at all.

"As far as I know, the box office of Han Country's movies has been steadily increasing in recent years. Doesn't this prove that Han Country's movies have a bright future?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Lin Quanze and asked with a smile.

It's good not to mention this incident, Lin Daoqiu's words made Lin Quanze even more annoyed.

Since the 80s, almost all of the top ten films with the highest box office revenue in Han Country have been included by foreign films, and very few local films have entered the list.

And the release of "Godzilla" this year broke the box office record of Korean historical movies, five times more than last year's No.1 movie.

Although the box office revenue of movies has repeatedly hit new highs, it is not the local movies in the cold country that have set these records, all of them are foreign movies.

"Since Mr. Lin knows something about Han Country movies, you should know that Han Country has been dominated by imported movies these years. Is this a good thing for us?"

The more Lin Quanze talked, the more angry he became. He felt that if this continues, the local movies in the cold country will become more and more miserable.

But for Lin Daoqiu, this must be a good thing. Hanguo is a big ticket store for Xiangjiang. If the rise of local movies in Hanguo weakens Xiangjiang movies, this is definitely not what Lin Daoqiu wants to see. of.

"It's a matter of course that the audience only watch the movies they want to see. As for the fact that imported movies account for the majority of the box office, isn't this a spur to the filmmakers in Han Country?"

Lin Quanze also knew that judging from the production level of Xiangjiang and Hollywood at this time, the production level of Han Country's local films was still far behind.

But even so, Lin Quanze feels that since he is a native of the Han country, he should strongly support the local films of the Han country, and they are even trying to extend the protection period of the local films.

With the efforts of Lin Quanze and other filmmakers, the protection period of local films in Han Country will be increased to 140 six days.

"Mr. Lin is right. In fact, I came to you today because I hope that Mr. Lin can help Han Guo Movies and help us improve the quality of movies."

In fact, Lin Quanze did not intend to discuss with Lin Daoqiu about the issue of Han Guo movies in depth. After all, the imported movies involved here include Xiangjiang movies.

Regarding the future of Han Country movies, Lin Quanze believes that the most important thing is to improve the quality of local movies. Only in this way can audiences be attracted to watch instead of using policies to force audiences to buy tickets.

"Director Lin thinks highly of me. As you may know, the job I'm best at is writing scripts. Ask me to help improve the quality of Han Country movies. I can't do this kind of thing at all."

Lin Daoqiu shook his head and refused without even thinking about it. After all, it would not be a good thing for Xiangjiang to help Han Country improve their local film production level.

"The magic studio in the hands of Mr. Lin is world-renowned. As long as you are willing to open a branch in Hanguo, it will be of great help to Hanguo movies. Please promise me."

Asking Lin Daoqiu to help write the script, Lin Quanze never thought about such a thing, he wanted far more than Lin Daoqiu thought.

As long as the magic studio sets up a branch in Han Country, they will send people to learn the production of special effects for movies, so that they can serve the local movies in Han Country.

After all, the future is the world of special effects movies. After watching "Godzilla", Lin Quanze is even more firm in this idea.

"I'm sorry Director Lin, I can't promise you this matter."

Lin Daoqiu directly shook his head and rejected Lin Quanze's idea of ​​inviting him to set up a branch in Han Country.

"why?"

Lin Quanze didn't understand why Lin Daoqiu refused, was it because of money or other reasons?
"Director Lin, there are very few people in the world who know special effects technology. Magic Studio has been recruiting people but with little success. The work pressure is already high. How could it be possible to set up branches in other places?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't fool the other party. Since Pan Disheng and Zou Wenhuai poached some people from the magic studio, it is obviously impossible for the magic studio to say that it has no influence.

The current Magic Studio can complete the work at hand is already very remarkable, how can there be spare power to send people to set up branches in other places.

And at this time, the special effects technology of Hanguo movies is almost zero, so it is of no benefit to Lin Daoqiu to set up a branch here.

What Lin Quanze was thinking Lin Daoqiu knew very well, he just wanted to learn advanced special effects technology through Magic Studio.

But he was embarrassed to say it, so he said such nonsense that he asked him to help improve the quality of Han Country movies.

"In this case, can Mr. Lin allow us to send some people to the Magic Studio to study?"

Lin Quanze chose the next best thing, since Lin Daoqiu is unwilling to set up a branch in Han Country, then they can send someone to learn.

Regarding Lin Quanze's request, Lin Daoqiu just smiled, but he didn't say anything.
