Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

If you say that time goes fast, you always hate that time is as slow as a snail when you are buried in work every day; but if you say that time goes slow, it seems that in the blink of an eye, another year is coming to an end and the new year is coming.

Su Yun announced this time that she would gradually shift the focus of her career back to Xiangjiang. Not only North America, but even Xiangjiang felt a little "not worth it"-after all, many people make movies to make money, and Hollywood's box office It must be much bigger than the money here in Xiangjiang. If there is no chance to hang out there, then you can only stay in Xiangjiang, but Su Yun obviously has a good chance to hang out there!

But she just wanted to run back, and she didn't know if it was to come back to guard the family property, or... "the world is exhausted"?

However, before people with all kinds of thoughts could find out the real inside story of Su Yun's return, the box office figures of the "Once Upon a Time in Kyushu" series that followed immediately caught their attention with an extremely powerful gesture. stick.

Can such a figure really be achieved by the poor old watch who had to buy something in limited quantities and approved it?

Why can develop so fast!

Just like the changes in the great era back then, they just watched the vicissitudes of life in the mainland go through a series of changes inadvertently, and it has been turned upside down in just a hundred years, making them unable to keep up with this Rhythm of change.

And when they didn't pay attention, the box office revenue on the mainland of China suddenly rose, winning their long-standing ticket warehouse Treasure Island, and even the follow-up Dongying, Hanguo, Southeast Asia and other places can also rely on it. With the advantage of numbers, they overtook them!

When I think of the recent boycott actions such as "local protection policy" in Taiwan, Southeast Asia and other places, they secretly introduced Hollywood blockbusters to them to fight against Hong Kong films... Many of them are engaged in the film industry Or someone who intends to make money from the film industry suddenly becomes uneasy.

However, China Mainland seems to be making money right now, but once it is involved with that side, it is equivalent to voluntarily giving up all the box office of at least Treasure Island - if there is no conflict between the two sides, everyone must be struggling Putting in, you are vying for land to carry out the great cause of market development in Beishang Shenzhou, but it's a pity that you can't have both...

Now it seems that the mainland of China is making more money, but the turmoil of that year is still vivid. Who knows if it will come back after a while?

If they choose the mainland because they are greedy for immediate benefits, if there is any change in the situation above, even if they can withdraw safely, there is no way for Treasure Island to accept them...

That is to say, only Su Yun, who had been "broken off" by Treasure Island long ago, was so broken-hearted, she went straight to the mainland of China without any hesitation, and made a lot of money by relying on the information gap.

That's right, apart from the well-recognized fact that you can't beat Su Yun with special effects, many of Su Yun's films, they think they are just ordinary popcorn commercial films, and I can do it...

Especially after these years of technological advancement, individuals can do the job of transcribing. Video halls are blooming all over the mainland of China. Just relying on secretly transcribing pirated video tapes and dumping them there has already fed them to nothing.

Among them, the best-selling ones are comedy, action, horror, and those with colors. If these elements are mixed in, they can basically meet most people's viewing needs... So, These people who not only engage in piracy but also wear black, can also make movies.

Anyway, there are directors and small third- and fourth-tier artists all over the street, so you don’t need to bother to hire them. If you spend some money, they will post them on their own initiative, and then let those small screenwriters follow the trend and write a few scripts with popular themes. All movies live!

At that time, if you want to make it big, you can spend money or use other methods to get one or two big stars as the main course. If you print it on the cover, you can almost pay back the cost, and if it sells well, you can make a lot of money.

What is this sinking market? !

This is clearly to meet the daily needs of the broad masses of the people!By the way, I can also make money here, a win-win situation!

Of course, the most cost-effective and profitable is to secretly record and transcribe pirated video tapes, directly take the ready-made films made by others, and then start recording with full power, and then dump them out through their respective channels in exchange for a bunch of them. Another pile of banknotes.

Anyway, they don't need to care about the life and death of the film industry. If the film cannot survive in the future, they can still return to their old profession, and the money in the gray area will never be exhausted.

Thinking about it this way, it would be beneficial for Su Yun to return her career focus to Xiangjiang. At least they have another target that can be secretly recorded, and it is the kind that has been verified by the market-as long as Su Yun is not "exhausted".

At this time, the person who was delighted to think that there was another fat sheep that could pluck the wool, didn't expect that Su Yun came back this time and what was the real reason for it.

The fundamental reason why she has devoted so many years of energy to film technology and post-production special effects is that special effects blockbusters and new technologies are currently the only weapons that can resist the impact of piracy.

Because Su Yun has personally experienced the time when piracy hit the film industry to the point of collapse, she understands that in order to revitalize Hong Kong entertainment, in addition to the aforementioned industrial transformation and other measures, there is also a very important point, which is to protect the entire film industry. The film market maintains the long-term development of the industry.

Even if there are people who lose money for filming, how long can they last?

Only by maintaining the long-term development of the industry can we ensure the endless growth and long-term success of Xiangjiang Films.

Xiangjiang is now in the golden age of the film industry at the right time and place, and it is also a key transition point between senior masters and junior talents, and it is also a period of vigorous development when newcomers emerge in large numbers.

Protect it so that it will not be overwhelmed by the interests of piracy and foreign blockbusters. In the future, there is a high probability that it will be based on this, starting from the integration of the entire Xiangjiang area, gradually spreading to the mainland and other regions, and then to gain a firm foothold in Asia. A market with huge development potential, forming an oriental film system that is opposite to but dependent on the western film system.

Now, the time is about to mature, and the things she has buried step by step in these years are finally waiting for the day when they are about to break out of the ground.

Taking advantage of the handover time between the end of the year and the new year, Su Yun started to make big moves both openly and secretly. After spending a lot of time and energy, she finally got a batch of lists for "cooperation" before the arrival of the new year.

She is a person who can tolerate gray in her eyes, but the concentration of these grays also needs to meet her standards and requirements.

Words that are subject to profit, such as piracy and copycats, will never be eradicated in her lifetime, so she can only fight against it as much as possible and in a targeted manner, restrain its expansion, and resist its attack.

On the one hand, it is necessary to use the improvement of production technology to correspondingly increase the cost of piracy and copycats, and curb the proliferation of their numbers; on the other hand, it is also necessary to create a "brand effect" and use better technology to change people's consumption habits from the perspective of thinking. , Cultivate its genuine awareness.

Except for these two major points, there are of course many other supplementary details, but if you can grasp these two key points, you can already win a lot—especially the "brand effect", which can be obtained from the mind. Go up to make people believe that "genuine" is better, and people should strive for "genuine" as much as possible, instead of only using "pirated" as the second best.

Those big brands can break out successfully under the attack of many pirated versions, copycats and low-priced similar products, mainly relying on these two keys.

Undoubtedly, this plan will inevitably offend many people, so after careful selection, Su Yun gathered the strength to realize this plan bit by bit from the political, business and black side.

Compared with those short-sighted groups who only care about the immediate and ignore the consequences, most of the people she selected can understand the correctness and necessity of her plan.

People with a bit of brain and vision know how to choose between fishing out of the pool and long-term success.

And after she pulls up this team, it will be a protracted struggle, especially in the dark and dark areas that cannot be seen on the bright side, and there will be silent and bloody battles one after another.

But in the final analysis, this battle is inevitable, and we must do our best to survive.

A few months later, at the theme meeting of "Discussion on the Future Development of the Hong Kong Film Awards", which used the Hong Kong Film Awards as the basis to integrate the entire regional film industry, and then radiated film selections across Asia, and stood opposite to the Oscars. Su Yun stood up resolutely to the questions of many bigwigs from all walks of life.

"Why do you think it's impossible before you start to act?"

"It's like a long time ago, before the telephone was made, people said it couldn't be done; before movies were made, people said it couldn't be done; Before things came out, people said it was impossible!"

Feeling that she was too excited, Su Yun took a deep breath, looked around the audience again, and said in a deep voice, "But now, so what?"

"We are what we are today because of people who believed they could make the impossible possible."

"If you reject me today, will one day in the future, when looking back on the road of life, regret today's decision?"

"I can say that once this plan is successful, Hong Kong's film industry will turn its disadvantages into advantages, regain its previous prosperity, and create even more prosperous splendor than before!"

"But what if it ... still fails in the end?" The question has always been there, and the meaning has always been the same.

When Su Yun heard this question, she slowly showed a meaningful smile: "Everyone here has the status of today, which one has not gambled with all their wealth?"

"Don't think about failure before you start; don't think about impossible before you try."

"Yes, I can't guarantee that this plan will be successful, but what I can guarantee is that even if this plan will end in failure, when I am old, when I look back on the past, I will never give up for today's decision. Regret."

"And if the plan is successful... all the bosses present and me, a junior, will be the founders of a 'new era' in the future."
