The Golden Age of China Entertainment

By the 80s, Xiangjiang Film Company had begun to cooperate with the Mainland, using its own funds and technological advantages, coupled with the Mainland's rich location resources and relatively cheap Mainland film talents, to achieve complementary advantages.

Under the background of reform and opening up, from to, from, to Xiangjiang TV dramas, etc., which are popular in the mainland, Jianghu, Kung Fu and other themes are deeply loved by mainland audiences, and Kung Fu movies and martial arts movies will be popular in the next few decades. It has always been an important type of Chinese commercial film culture.

The cooperation between the two places brought excellent talents, new aesthetic concepts and production concepts to the mainland in the early stage. With the rapid development of the mainland economy, mainland films gradually gained a foothold, and the role of Hong Kong films in mainland films gradually became a one-way enlightenment. towards mutual integration.

In the 90s, the cooperation between the Hong Kong film industry and the Mainland became increasingly close, and more and more films were produced in cooperation between the two places. The works that combined the talents and funds of the two places gradually took shape. Among them, the most representative film was not only a box office hit, but also It also won the Palme d'Or for best film at the Cannes Film Festival.

Since 1992, the number of co-productions between Xiangjiang Film Company and mainland film studios has gradually increased, such as Zhang Yimou's, Jiang Wen's, etc., which have achieved both word-of-mouth and box office success, and co-productions have become the mainstream of blockbuster films.

After Xiangjiang returned to the motherland in 1997, the connection between the two places in art creation and market became closer. Especially after the agreement was signed in 2003, Xiangjiang films were assured of entering the mainland market, and a large number of Xiangjiang filmmakers also actively went to the mainland to explore development path.

It is a win-win situation to open up the mainland market to Xiangjiang Films, introduce a competition mechanism into the film market, and introduce more good films to the audience.With the acceleration of the reform and opening-up process and the reform of the industrialization of Chinese films, Xiangjiang filmmakers have gone north one after another, becoming participants in the rise of Chinese films.

Cooperation is a win-win situation, and Yi Qing naturally wants to actively promote it. Nowadays, cooperation in the film industry has gradually become more frequent, but the TV industry has lagged behind. So far, there has been no precedent for cooperation other than direct introduction. Mind being the first to eat crabs.

It's just that Yi Qing's ideas are already mature, but Li Hong finds it difficult to accept it for a while. It's not that she doesn't want outsiders to participate, but because of low self-esteem.

That's right, it's self-pity!

In Li Hong's view, compared with Xiangjiang, the production level of TV dramas in the mainland is still relatively backward. For example, Beijing and Taiwan have also introduced this drama. She thought that the wonderful martial arts scenes could not be filmed in the mainland. Don't watch it. She is not from a literary background, and she has only a half-knowledge about the technical issues of filming TV dramas, but she can also see that in terms of certain technical handling, the mainland is obviously not as good as Xiangjiang.

Can others be willing to cooperate?

Li Hong expressed doubts: "Xiao Yi! Are you a little whimsical? What are his conditions, what are our conditions, and he is willing to cooperate with us?"

Before the horoscope is written, I doubt myself first!

Yi Qing was also very helpless about this: "Director, to cooperate with Xiangjiang, what we want is their advanced shooting techniques and technical conditions. Don't rush to talk about it, in fact, we also have advantages."

Have an advantage?

"What advantage?"

"Think about it, Xiangjiang is only a big place. When they want to shoot exterior scenes, they can have the convenience of our inland. Not to mention anything else, as far as our inland mountains and waters are concerned, Xiangjiang does not have them. In addition, our side The labor is cheap!"

When Li Hong heard the words, he also remembered. He had heard people say before that when the filming was done, the staff in the mainland were only given a subsidy of more than ten yuan a month, but the staff from Xiangjiang, even if it was just a low-level There are also hundreds of dollars per month, and even thousands of dollars, which is dozens or hundreds of times the labor cost in the mainland.

Hearing what Yi Qing said, Li Hong was also a little moved. He just cooperated with Xiangjiang in the field of TV drama production. It seems that there has been no policy in this regard. Can it work?

"Xiao Yi, what you said is good, but can the higher-ups agree?"

"Why don't you agree?" Yi Qing asked rhetorically, "This is a good thing. It can let the people in Xiangjiang know about the mainland. Isn't the country always advocating the strengthening of cultural exchanges between the two places? We are responding to the call of the country. I’m afraid the higher-ups are too late to support it, so they can still oppose it? Besides, we can cooperate in making movies, why can’t we cooperate in making TV dramas?”

yes!Why not, it doesn't make sense!

Li Hong was completely moved. If this matter is accomplished, even if it is not a great contribution, it will be regarded as a precedent in a certain field.

"Do you really think this can be done? We have nothing to do with that side!" Li Hong said, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she said, "Xiao Yi! The last time you were able to invite the big star from Xiangjiang, did you have a relationship with that Have you already contacted me!?"

Based on Li Hong's understanding of Yi Qing, this kid never does anything he is not sure about. Now that he has said it, he must be on target. Maybe the last time he went to Xiangjiang, he had already talked about it with him.

Obviously, Li Hong thought too much, but it wasn't too bad. Although Yi Qing didn't mention cooperation when he met Qiu Degen, but thinking about it, Qiu Degen was very happy with this kind of cooperation. What I have seen, after all, Xiangjiang has decided to return to the motherland, and a local snake like him in Xiangjiang, if he does not take advantage of the present to strengthen ties with the mainland, what are he waiting for?

Not to mention that Yi Qing is still a shareholder of ATV. If he wants to operate this matter, Qiu Degen will definitely not object.

However, since Li Hong thought so, Yi Qing did not deny it: "It is true that this matter was mentioned, and the cooperation over there is also very much looking forward to, but they don't understand our situation here. It’s inconvenient to bring it up!”

Ten years of turmoil have caused Xiangjiang to have a deep misunderstanding of the mainland. This is also the main reason why so many Xiangjiang people are eager to immigrate after China and Britain signed the joint statement. They are also afraid!

Li Hong can probably guess what he is worried about: "Okay! Xiaoyi, I will talk to the stage about this matter later, but you are sure that this matter will be successful!"

Yi Qing didn't speak, but nodded very positively.

"That's fine, how about this, you write me a plan first, I will take it to the stage to find Director Wang, as long as he nods, this matter will be considered settled!"

It is said that the production center is now an independent operation unit, and they do not need the consent of the station at all, but in this matter, Li Hong thinks it is better to be cautious. There is also a big one on top of the problem.

Yi Qing understood what the old lady was thinking, so he didn't say anything. He was not worried that Mr. Wang would object. After a few contacts, he also saw that Mr. Wang is a person who likes new things, and he is aggressive in doing things. Son, otherwise, why has no one mentioned that Beijing and Taiwan will also hold the Spring Festival Gala before, and Director Wang made such a big move as soon as he took office.

What he was worried about was that once this incident passed through Taili, Taili would definitely get involved in such a show of face, and there would be more interference on his head.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages, at least in this matter, with the participation of Beijing and Taiwan, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages.

"That's right! What to shoot, do you have an idea now?"

Yi Qing directly took out this book, which he bought when he was in Xiangjiang. In fact, not only this one, Jin Yong, Gu Long, as long as he could buy it, Yi Qing bought a copy.

When he thought of cooperating with ATV, the first thing he thought of was villain martial arts.

These days, there are really too few entertainment items, and it can be regarded as a pastime when there is nothing to watch.

"Just shoot this, a martial arts TV series!"

Chapter 363 The Peerless Twins

Yi Qing didn't choose the adaptation of Master Gu Long's "Peerless Two Pride". After deciding to cooperate with ATV to shoot a TV series, he has been choosing the subject matter.

The first modern drama was excluded by Yi Qing. Mainland audiences may not accept the theme of Xiangjiang, and it does not conform to the guiding spirit of the above. The above encourages cultural exchanges between the mainland and Xiangjiang, in order to let the people of Xiangjiang deepen understanding of the mainland.

If there is a fashion show with Xiangjiang as the background, what will be promoted?

A happy life in Xiangjiang?

It is estimated that as soon as the script is submitted, it will be filmed by Radio and Television.

What a mess!

However, it is not good to shoot modern dramas with the background of the mainland. It is not good if it is too profound, especially like "Plainclothes Police".

Needless to say, historical costume dramas have too much investment. Since it is a cooperation between the two companies, the ATV family cannot be allowed to invest in it. If the investment is too much, Qiu Degen will not agree in the first place.

After choosing and choosing, only martial arts dramas can be filmed. Master Jin Yong’s can’t be selected. The old man said, "The great chivalrous man is for the country and the people". His works basically involve national righteousness, the structure is too large, and the investment Nature is also big.

Since it's a co-production, it can't be as petty as TVB, just put two bricks as a city wall, and pull a plastic film to pretend to be a waterfall. Not worth it.

Written by other famous authors, the influence is too small, and the adaptation is even more inappropriate, so I can only choose Master Gu Long.

However, Yi Qing was a fan of Jin Yong in his previous life, and he didn't read much of Master Gu Long, and the only ones that left a deep impression on him were the "Peerless Twins" and "Chu Liuxiang" series.

The "Chu Liuxiang" series was originally suitable for adaptation, but TVB has already remade it before. Zheng Shaoqiu's handsome and handsome image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

After choosing and choosing, only "Peerless Two Pride" is more suitable. It will not involve sensitive subjects, and audiences in both places can easily accept it, and the scene is not big, so it is the most cost-effective no matter how you look at it.

Li Hong had never read martial arts before, but when Yi Qing handed over a copy, she subconsciously took it and opened it.

"Hey! It's still in traditional characters!"

"The ones brought back from Xiangjiang must be in traditional characters, but the author is from Baodao, and he is no longer there, so the copyright fee can be saved!"
