Age of Dreams

Back in Li Shaozhi's villa, Xiao Qi found that a guest had arrived.

Li Shaozhi, who can already wander around the house, is putting on his coat, sitting on the sofa and chatting with the guests with a smile.

Seeing Xiao Qi coming back, Li Shaozhi stood up and greeted Xiao Qi sweetly, and also introduced a middle-aged short fat man who stood up across the sofa.

"This is Director Wang Jing Wang. When I first debuted, his father Wang Lao took care of me very much. In the past few years in wireless, Wang Lao and Wang Jing also care about me very much." Li Shaozhi softly introduced Xiao Qi. , The words also made it clear what she wanted to express.

"Hello, Shao Qi!" Wang Jing, with a little thin hair, smiled so that his eyes were bent, stretched out his hands and shook hands with Xiao Qi.

"Hello, Jingye, but I grew up watching your movie, so you don't need to be too polite." Xiao Qi smiled, "Unfortunately, all I watched were pirated discs, and I didn't have the opportunity to support the original."

"Hehe, the movies I made are all **** and piss, it's really an honor for me to like it!" Wang Jing said politely.

"That can't be said!" Xiao Qi shook his head, "Anything that can be liked by the audience is a good movie! Although there are some Jingye your movies that I can't understand, there are also many classics that are enough to show your talent and status. "

Wang Jing didn't expect Xiao Qi to say this, but he was more proud than he was refreshed.

↙,.. This is a compliment from the richest man in the world!

It is definitely a rare honor to have the world's richest man, who can't even compare to the top 100 richest people in Hong Kong, to admire himself so much!

Seeing that they were talking very happily, Li Shaozhi sighed in relief and said softly: "Then you guys talk slowly, I'll go back to the room first."

"Okay. Zhizhi, take a good rest." Wang Jing greeted with a smile. He and Li Shaozhi had also made movies, and coupled with the relationship between his father, they were considered relatively familiar.

Many people think that Wang Jing only makes movies, which is actually wrong. He often directs TV dramas over the air.

For example, the popular Zhang Weijian played Wei Xiaobao's "Xiaobao and Kangxi" was directed by Wang Jing. "Xin Chu Liuxiang" starring Li Shaozhi was also directed by him.

This man is really a prolific and very talented director!

When Li Shaozhi returned to the room, Wang Jing and Xiao Qi sat down on the sofa.

Xiao Qi took a sip of the new tea brought by the servant, and then smiled and asked, "Master Jing came here today, is it looking for me?"

Talking about business matters, Wang Jing was a little cautious, "Little Qi, I am here today to visit you. If you have time. By the way, I would also like to talk about my movies."

Xiao Qi smiled, "Okay, I'm also a movie lover anyway. However, I haven't watched much of Jingye's movies in the past few years."

"Why?" Wang Jing asked a rare question.

"Because you haven't seen any movies in the past few years." Xiao Qi shrugged and said, "Even if it's shit, it must be laughable! It's always a joke from a few years ago or more than a decade ago. Of course I can’t laugh!"

"Qi Shao is saying that I lack new ideas?" Wang Jing nodded, "Yes. I have been making these movies for several years, and I am a little upset. But the Hong Kong market likes this. It's only me. Movies can barely make money, and I can only change other things, so I don’t dare to change them randomly.

Hong Kong's film market has already entered the twilight period.

In addition to Hollywood blockbusters that can be used in Hong Kong, there is not much money to be made in Hong Kong's local movies.

Generally can exceed 50 million. Even if it’s a super selling movie.

In contrast, there are now dozens of films with more than 100 million in the mainland, and there are also more than 300 million films in "If You Are The One". The development is very rapid, and the future box office of 500 million or more is also in the tone. And Hong Kong in the sunset Xishan just became two completely different contrasts.

However, Wang Jing not only sighed and complained, but actually expressed other meanings in his words.

Xiao Qi is no longer an otaku in his previous life. Hearing what Wang Jing said, and then contacting him for his intention to come here for a relationship today, he immediately understood it.

"Jing Ye, do you mean that you want to enter the mainland market?" Xiao Qi asked directly.

"Yeah, who wouldn't want to have a market of 1.5 billion people?" Wang Jing smiled and said, "If there is such a strong backing, I don't need to make so many movies a year, just like Feng Yanya, one time a year. How comfortable is it to earn two or three hundred million and take a relaxing vacation?"

"As far as I know, Hong Kong films have already been approved for review, right?" Xiao Qi said, "Except for films that are prohibited by orders, general Hong Kong films can be released, right?"

"Qiao Shao, you only know one, but you don't know the second."

Wang Jing didn't think Xiao Qi was teasing him. After all, Xiao Qi was a businessman, not a member of the movie circle. He didn't know that the doors inside were normal.

After pondering for a while, he said in detail: "The SARFT's review process actually has a lot of ways. If the film in the mainland is more relevant, then it should be modified slightly, or there is no need to modify the film. They can all be released. But our Hong Kong films are very strict. As a result, 50% of Hong Kong’s films every year cannot be released in the Mainland. This makes us very depressed.

If this is the case, it would be fine. After all, there are mainland rules in the Mainland, which is the same as when we targeted the Treasure Island market. If we want to make money, we must abide by other people's rules. There is nothing wrong with it. But the problem is that the trouble we encountered is not limited to this. Even if we pass the review, many of our Hong Kong films are still very troublesome to be released in the Mainland!

Those large and small theaters either gave us extremely harsh conditions, or simply ignored us, gave us very few films, let us work hard to shoot movies, and after hard work of editing, they passed the review, but in the end There were not many movie theaters showing in the mainland market in China, and it ended in a miserable situation! "

"That's not the same!" Xiao Qi said, "The cinema chain also wants to make money. If it is a good-quality film, such as "Infernal Affairs" a few years ago, then the large and small theaters will definitely be able to give a very high row of movies! It's a bad film that was made inexplicably, and the mainland people can't understand it at all. How can you blame it for not arranging the film?"

After a pause, Xiao Qi said again: "Hong Kong movies don't have any special effects. They used to cause a lot of repercussions in the mainland. The reason is that the plot is very delicate and the various performances are very good, far exceeding the level of the mainland... But after these two decades, you have not only made no progress, but you have also retreated a lot. The content plot and the quality of the film arrangement are completely messed up! With such an attitude of film arrangement, it is strange that Hong Kong films can be boosted!"

Wang Jing was stunned.

He didn't think Xiao Qi knew so much about Hong Kong movies.

Regarding the rise and fall of Hong Kong movies, Wang Jing was the one who experienced it. Of course, he himself knows why Hong Kong movies have fallen to where they are today.

The most important thing is to make bad movies in order to cheat money. Everyone doesn't innovate. Once they have a good type of movie, they just rushed to make bad movies.

Then, when such a movie is crushed by excellent Hollywood blockbusters, how can it be undefeated?

Not only did the local market in Hong Kong fall, but also the traditional markets such as the treasure island and Southeast Asia. In the end, there was no way to penetrate into the emerging market as large as Mainland China. This really made Hong Kong's film industry decadent.

"Actually, I still admire Jingye for your screenwriting talents." Xiao Qidao, "Hong Kong can write a large number of scripts, Huang Baiming is one, and you are one too! As long as you can calm down and write good scripts Come on, with a few good actors, are you afraid that you won’t be able to re-enter the mainland market?"

"Can I?" Wang Jing asked thoughtfully.

Xiao Qi smiled. He knew that Wang Jing was pretending to be stupid at this time, but he didn't hesitate to wake up Wang Jing, "As long as you have a good book, find a few well-known celebrities in the mainland, I can help you run the review relationship. , And on behalf of the Kiwi Cinemas line, promised you that they will definitely give you the best film arrangement! Is this OK?"

Wang Jing's spirits lifted, and the confused and honest look immediately disappeared from his face. Instead, his face was shrewd: "Really?"

"Really." Xiao Qi nodded and said.

"That's right, I have a brilliant idea here, Qi Shao, can you help me see it?" Wang Jing immediately took out a pile of manuscripts from the leather bag next to him, obviously he had prepared it long ago.

Xiao Qi didn't realize that he laughed blankly, he was fine anyway, and reading the script was equivalent to amusement.

After accepting the script, Xiao Qi took a closer look and laughed after turning a few pages.

Isn't this the "Macao Wind and Cloud" starring Zhou Runfa that was highly publicized before Xiao Qi's reincarnation?

According to some of the early exposure shots and clips at that time, this is equivalent to the former "God of Gamblers" Zhou Runfa is still the king of gambling, the knife has changed from Dehua to Xiao Xie, and the other supporting role has been replaced by a more idiot. Guys.

Some reviews say ~www.readwn.com~ If Wang Jing’s nostalgic feelings are the mainstay, coupled with the appeal of Zhou Runfa and Xiao Xie, based on the 2013 market, there should be hope to break 5 in the 2014 Spring Festival. Billion at the box office.

"I'm going to send Zhou Run to play God of Gamblers and Xiao Xie to play No. 2." Wang Jing said while looking at Xiao Qi: "I haven't found investors for this film yet. I wonder if I can let Qiao Dong and Zhi Zhi and Ms. Kexin came to jointly invest...I promise this film will definitely make money!"

He is dipping into profit sharing.

Xiao Qi laughed, "There is no problem with investment, but if you are willing to give up a few roles, I think the hope of success will be greater."

Wang Jing smiled knowingly, "No problem, I only need to guarantee Zhou Runfa, and you can decide on the rest!"

This guy is worthy of being the most speculative commercial film director. In order to get good results in "Macao Fengyun", he is really willing to pay for it! (To be continued...)

ps: Actually, I really like Fatty Wang. It's not cheap. People are not hypocritical. It's actually a kind of pride to be able to do this.
