    Returning to Li Shaozhi's villa, Xiao Qi found that a guest had arrived.  ¡Ì¨N

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

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

    "This is Director Wang Jingwang. When I first debuted, his father, Mr. Wang, took great care of me. In recent years at TVB, Mr. Wang and Director Wang Jing have also taken great care of me." Li Shaozhi introduced to Xiao Qi softly.  , the words also made it clear what she wanted to express.

    "Hello, Mr. Qi!" Wang Jing, whose hair was a little thin, smiled so hard that his eyes were bent, and he stretched out his hands to shake Xiao Qi's hand.

    "Hello Mr. Jing, I grew up watching your movies, so you don't have to be too polite." Xiao Qi smiled, "It's a pity that all I watched were pirated discs, and I didn't have the opportunity to support the original ones."

    "Haha, the movies I make are all shit, and so few of them like it, that's really an honor for me!" Wang Jing said politely.

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

    Wang Jing didn¡¯t expect Xiao Qi to say that. After being refreshed, he felt a little more proud.

    This is a compliment from the world¡¯s richest man!

    It is definitely a rare honor to have the richest man in the world who is not even matched by the top 100 richest people in Hong Kong. To actually praise yourself so much!

    Seeing that they were chatting happily, Li Shaozhi breathed a sigh of relief and said in a playful voice: "Then you guys talk slowly, I'll go back to the room first."

    "Okay. Zhizhi, have a good rest." Wang Jing greeted with a smile. He and Li Shaozhi have also made movies, and they are relatively familiar with each other due to their relationship with their father.

    Many people think that Wang Jing only makes movies, which is actually wrong. He often goes to TVB to direct TV series.

    For example, the popular "Xiaobao and Kangxi" starring Zhang Weijian as Wei Xiaobao was directed by Wang Jing.  "Xinchu Liuxiang" starring Li Shaozhi was also directed by him.

    This man is truly a prolific and talented director!

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

    Xiao Qi took a sip of the tea brought by the servant, and then asked with a smile, "Master Jing came here to see me today?"

    When talking about business, Wang Jing was a little cautious, "Qi Shao, I'm here today because I want to visit you. If you have time, I also want to talk about my movie."

    Xiao Qi smiled, "Okay, I am also a movie lover anyway. But in the past few years, Mr. Jing, I haven't watched many of your movies."

    "Why?" Wang Jing asked a rare question.

    "Because your movies in the past few years are not interesting at all." Xiao Qi shrugged, "Even if it's shit and pissing, you still have to make people laugh! It's always the same jokes from a few years ago or more than ten years ago.  Of course I can¡¯t laugh!¡±

    "Qi Shao said that I lack new ideas, right?" Wang Jing nodded, "That's right. I've been making these movies all the time in the past few years, and I'm a little upset myself. But the Hong Kong market likes this. It's the only one like me.  Movies can barely make money, and if you switch to anything else, you can only make money on the streets, so I don¡¯t dare to switch randomly.¡±

    Hong Kong¡¯s film market has already entered its twilight period.

    With the exception of Hollywood blockbusters that can make waves in Hong Kong, there are not many Hong Kong-made films that can make money.

    Generally it can exceed 50 million.  Even if it is a super hit movie.

    In comparison, there are dozens of movies with over 100 million yuan in the mainland, including "If You Are the One" with over 300 million yuan. The development is very rapid, and it is expected that the box office will exceed 500 million or more in the future.  It is a completely different contrast to Hong Kong where the sun sets over the mountains.

    Wang Jing didn¡¯t just sigh and complain, in fact, he also expressed other meanings in his words.

    Xiao Qi is no longer the otaku he was in his previous life. As soon as he heard Wang Jing's words and contacted him about his purpose of coming here to establish a relationship today, he immediately understood.

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

    "Yeah, who doesn't want to have a market with a population of 1.5 billion?" Wang Jing said with a smile, "If I have such a strong backing, I don't have to make so many movies a year. I can just make one movie a year like Feng Buck Ya."  How comfortable would it be to earn two to three hundred million and take a relaxing vacation?¡±

    "As far as I know, the review of Hong Kong films has already been opened, right?" Xiao Qi said."Except for the films that are prohibited by the order, all Hong Kong films can be released, right?"

    "You, Mr. Qi, only know one, but not the other."

    Wang Jing didn¡¯t think Xiao Qi was teasing him. After all, Xiao Qi was a businessman and not from the film industry. He didn¡¯t know that things were normal inside.

    After thinking about it for a while, he said in detail: "There are actually many ways to review the film from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. If the film from the mainland has a better relationship, then it can be slightly modified or not modified at all."  They can all be released. However, the film censorship in Hong Kong is very strict. As a result, 50% of Hong Kong films cannot be released in the mainland every year, which makes us feel very depressed.

    ¡° If it¡¯s just like this, that¡¯s fine. After all, the mainland has its own rules. It¡¯s the same as when we targeted the Baodao market. If you want to make other people¡¯s money, you have to abide by their rules. There¡¯s nothing wrong with that.  But the problem is that the troubles we encounter don¡¯t stop there. Even if they pass the review, it¡¯s still very troublesome for many of our Hong Kong films to be released in the mainland!

    Those large and small theater chains either gave us extremely harsh conditions, or they simply ignored us and gave us very few film schedules, so that after the films we worked so hard to shoot and edit passed the review, they were finally released to the public.  There are not many cinemas showing it in the mainland market, and it ended up being miserable!  "

    "That's different!" Xiao Qi said, "Cinema chains also want to make money. If it's a good-quality film, such as "Infernal Affairs" a few years ago, then theater chains of all sizes will definitely be able to give high film schedules! If  It¡¯s an inexplicably bad movie that mainlanders can¡¯t understand, so how can you blame them for not scheduling it?¡±

    After a pause, Xiao Qi continued: "Hong Kong movies don't have any special effects. They used to arouse a lot of repercussions in the mainland. The reason is that the plots are very subtle and the various performances are very good, far exceeding the standards of the mainland.   But after twenty years, not only have you not made any progress, but you have also retreated a lot. The content, plot, and film arrangement quality are a complete mess! With such an attitude towards film arrangement, it¡¯s strange that Hong Kong movies can be promoted!¡±

    Wang Jing was dumbfounded.

    He didn¡¯t expect Xiao Qi to know so much about Hong Kong movies.

    When it comes to the rise and fall of Hong Kong movies, Wang Jing is the one who has experienced it. Of course he himself knows why Hong Kong movies are where they are today.

    The most important thing is to make bad movies just to make money. No one innovates. As soon as a good type of movie comes out, they just rush to make it until it sucks.

    ????????????????????????????????????? Then when a movie like this is crushed by Hollywood¡¯s excellent blockbusters, how can it survive?

    Not only did Hong Kong lose its local market, but also traditional markets such as Taiwan and Southeast Asia. In the end, even such a large emerging market as mainland China was unable to penetrate. This really made Hong Kong's film industry decadent.

    "Actually, I admire your screenwriting skills, Mr. Jing." Xiao Qidao, "Huang Baiming is one of the people in Hong Kong who can write a lot of good scripts, and you are one too! As long as you can calm down and write good jokes  Come on, with a few good actors, are you still 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 did not hesitate to remind Wang Jing, "As long as you have a good book and find a few well-known celebrities in the mainland, I can help you run the audit relationship."  , and on behalf of the Kiwi Cinema Line, I promise you that I will give you the best movie schedule! Is that okay?¡±

    Wang Jing's spirit perked up, and the confused and honest look on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by a shrewd look on his face: "Really?"

    "Really." Xiao Qi nodded.

    "That's just right. I have a great idea here. Qi Shao, can you help me take a look?" Wang Jing immediately took out a stack of manuscripts from the bag next to him, obviously he had been prepared for it.

    Xiao Qi couldn't help but laugh. He had nothing to do anyway, so reading the script was just for fun.

    After taking the script, Xiao Qi looked at it carefully and started laughing after flipping through a few pages.

    Isn¡¯t this the very popular movie "Macau" starring Zhou Runfa that Xiao Qi had before his reincarnation?

    According to some early exposure shots and clips at that time, this is equivalent to the "God of Gamblers" back then - Zhou Runfa is still the gambling king, Xiao Dao has changed from De Hua to Xiao Xie, and the other supporting role has been replaced by a new one.  Idiot guy.

    Some reviews say that if Wang Jing focuses on this kind of nostalgic feelings, coupled with the appeal of Zhou Runfa and Xiao Xie, based on the market situation in 2013, there should be hope that the box office will exceed 500 million in the 2014 Spring Festival.

    "I'm going to let Zhou Run?? will play the God of Gamblers, and Xiao Xie will play the second role.  Wang Jing looked at Xiao Qi and said: "I haven't found an investor for this film yet. I wonder if Dong Qiao, Zhi Zhi and Miss Ke Xin can jointly invest I guarantee that this film will definitely be successful."  Profitable!  "

    He is sharing in the profits.

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

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

    This guy is indeed the most speculative commercial film director. In order to get good results for "Macau", he is really willing to spend money!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!

    PS: Actually, I quite like Fatty Wang. I don¡¯t want to be a bitch. He is not pretentious. Being like this is actually a kind of pride.
