Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 969
No matter where you are, the cost of making movies is extremely high. Therefore, any method that can increase revenue is worth trying. Any possible selling market must never be lost.
For the vast majority of Hong Kong film companies, the Taiwan market is the biggest reliance on their survival.
This is why the original space-time Liang Jiahui will be rejected by all the film companies in Hong Kong even if he won the Golden Award winner after shooting the curtain in the Mainland.
Because Taiwan has banned him, his films cannot enter the Taiwan market.
Without the Taiwan market, there are too few movies that can make money back on the Hong Kong market alone.
Therefore, even companies such as Jiahe, Shaw Brothers and New Art City that have opened up the Southeast Asian market dare not use him.
Not to bet,
Besides, I won’t have trouble with money.
This was the case in the early 1980s. In the past two years, as the cost of production has increased day by day, especially as the pay of actors has been steadily rising, the pressure of making a film has become so much that the cost of making a movie has become endless. The dependence on the Taiwan market is even greater.
And it is precisely because of this huge dependence that the Hong Kong films of the original time and space will soon decline after losing the Taiwan market.
It can be said that the collapse of the Taiwan market led to the decline of Hong Kong films.
Since the annual box office champions of Hong Kong films in the early years have risen almost every year, various foreign capitals have swarmed into the Hong Kong film market to grab food.
The largest group of foreign investors is Taiwanese capital.
All have seen Hong Kong movies make money, so all kinds of capitals with black backgrounds in Taiwan have crazily poured into the Hong Kong film market.
This is also where Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong, who fell out with Lei Juekun because of the formation of Longteng Cinemas, have the courage to challenge Longteng Cinemas to form a new treasure cinema.
Because they don't worry that there is nowhere to sell the film.
Among other things, first of all, there is no problem in the Taiwan market.
However, the chaotic entry of capital has led to the production of a large number of film professionals with uneven quality, especially in the case of Longteng Cinemas and Jiahe, Shaw Brothers, Xinyicheng and other film personnel and resources. Xinbaoyuan The movies made by the small companies controlled by the line and the capital behind are worse than one.
During that time, the films shown on Xinbao Cinema were really bad.
Then the result is obvious, Xinbao Cinema Line has long been part of Longteng Cinema Line.
However, the failure of Xinbao Cinemas cannot extinguish the desire of Taiwanese capital for the huge benefits of Hong Kong films.
Because of the boycott of several major local film companies and theaters, I can’t invest in filming in Hong Kong, right?
You are great, we really can't provoke you hordes.
But we have money.
If you have money, don't worry that we have no money to make.
It doesn’t matter if we can’t invest in movies, we can invest in cinema chains.
We can’t invest in Hong Kong, we can invest in Taiwan.
For this reason, Taiwan has five major theaters this year.
These capitals have spent large sums of money to import movies from Hong Kong to be shown on their own theaters.
It is nothing to say that investment theaters are.
There are more exaggerated things.
For example, these people can directly buy the Taiwanese distribution rights of a verbal film with an undecided script, an undecided actor, and no final because of an idea of a major director.
Wang Jing has encountered many such situations. He once sold the Taiwanese distribution rights of a film in ten words.
Which ten words? "The action movie Liu Dehua and Liang Jiahui."
It is said that Hong Kong movies are crazy these years.
It's true that Hong Kong movies are crazy.
But the driving force behind the madness of Hong Kong movies is definitely the capital of Taiwan, which has long gone mad.
The madness of the Taiwan market has caused the Hong Kong film market to eat too fatty.
Just selling the money from Taiwanese filmmakers is enough to pay back, or almost pay back.
Then the remaining local box office and other foreign income are purely earned.
This situation is good or not, of course it is good. There is such a market where you can make a lot of money, so fools don’t want it.
Therefore, under the frenzied import of the Taiwan market, even the visionary film companies in Hong Kong, such as Jiahe, can't help but open a large number of dramas.
And even if Jiahe doesn't open the drama indiscriminately, you keep improving in Jiahe's own drama, but you can't control the satellite company underneath to make money.
If you make your own money, let people eat meat too. In this kind of market environment, it is absolutely impossible to just let people drink soup.
Therefore, it is inevitable for Jiahe to be like this, not to mention that the Yongsheng of the Xiang brothers has long been scattered in the sand, and those in the new art city are in their own hands.
At this time, the entire Hong Kong filmmakers are crazy. The film company ignores its financial situation and ability to return to capital. If they are crazy, they have to borrow money.
As for the actors and staff, they are all alone.
However, these people did not find the huge crisis hidden in the excessive prosperity.
That is the Taiwan market.
Hong Kong movies can now be said to be demanding from the Taiwan market. When you say how much they will sell, Taiwan’s capital often agrees to the offer without thinking about it.
Because no matter how much money you spend, you can make a profit.
Moreover, even if there is some loss, it is just a small production, and it is not relevant.
In the production of large-scale production, large-scale production, all can make money.
But, if you don’t make money.
If you don’t make money, you lose too much.
Could it be possible that Taiwan's capital at that time was still able to give and take as it is now, and could the Taiwan market be as open to Hong Kong movies as it is now?
No one thought about it, never thought about it.
But this is the main reason for the decline of Hong Kong movies.
Because one day, a Taiwanese filmmaker and Taiwanese capital lost their hands. They paid a lot of money to buy movies that they thought they could make a profit, but they lost money.
What kind of movie is this that can actually become the fuse of the decline of Hong Kong movies?
Monk.
This movie is called Jigong.
Master Xing, Jigong Zhou Xingchi.
Super luxurious lineup,
The director is Du Qifeng, the starring is the golden combination of Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda, and there are also actresses such as Maggie Cheung and Anita Mui.
As a result, this movie caused filmmakers everywhere to pay blood.
Then the bubble was burst.
Taiwanese filmmaker Wang Yingxiang spent 30 million to buy Jigong, but in the end he lost the misery and vomited blood.
Then the painful lessons made Taiwanese filmmakers come to realize that there is such a big risk of emotional investment in Hong Kong films.
This Nima can't do it, and the risk can't be all against us.
As a result, a group of filmmakers united to negotiate with all the film companies in Hong Kong, saying that they would set up a ceiling, which means that a film can be sold for as much as possible.
and then.
The Hong Kong film company naturally disagrees.
You guys who rely on us to make money, dare to negotiate terms with us, and you get bored.
I want to be beautiful, I ignore you.
See what you can do with Lao Tzu.
Well, the Hong Kong Film Company is hard-hearted.
It's just the back, so hehe.
