Chapter 312 How to get the prize?

Talk about it.

The decline of the Hong Kong film industry can be described as visible to the naked eye.

Repeated police and gangster themes.

A bunch of old actors who turn over and over again.

There are many reasons for the decline, including external political and economic factors, as well as factors such as practitioners in the Hong Kong film industry who were originally too inappropriate and are now being criticized.

Xu Xiyu actually doesn't have much interest in exploring these things.

The main reason why he came over as soon as he received the news was because this meeting was facilitated by Ke Xinying. Zhonghui Group has many industries in Xiangjiang, covering real estate, shipping, culture and finance.

Huiwen Investment, where Ke Xinying was working at this time, was one of the first mainland institutions to establish a joint venture film and television company with Xiangjiang.

The purpose of establishing the joint venture was to attract filmmakers from Hong Kong to the north and promote the development of the mainland film industry.

In less than 20 years, this situation has been turned upside down.

The function of the joint venture has become to promote cooperation between mainland capital, mainland projects and Xiangjiang Films, and to help the distribution of Xiangjiang Films in the Mainland.

In layman's terms, it is to ensure that the Hong Kong film industry does not die so quickly.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Xu Xiyu.

Again, he came because Ke Xinying came. Ever since this sister followed Qin Shangqi and other Huiwentou staff to go on a market tour to get familiar with Huiwentou's properties.

The two rarely meet.

At this time, when we met in Pengcheng, there was naturally a burst of thunder from the sky and fire from the earth, and there was no need to hide it at all. After all, the two of them were serious boyfriend and girlfriend, and if someone knew they were renting a house, it was a legitimate act.

Of course, no one outside knew that Xu Xiyu and Ke Xinying were in Pengcheng at this time.

In the hotel suite, Ke Xinying, who had lost her last bit of strength, lay in Xu Xiyu's arms and said deliberately: "Have you had a good time these days? Are you doing road shows with Lu Qinyao every day, living in the world of two people every day?"


"How can we live in a two-person world with a bunch of people on the road show?"

"Tch~~Are you still afraid of this?"

"No, why is Wu Youjin looking for me?" Xu Xiyu changed the topic directly. He said that Wu Youjin is the boss of "Queen Pictures" in Xiangjiang, and this time he came here to meet him.

Ke Xinying did not continue to worry about Lu Qinyao's topic. She was the one who felt more entangled and uncomfortable.

So, she took advantage of the situation and said: "This matter has to start with me taking over the position of chairman of the supervisory board of Huiwen (Hong Kong) Film and Television Investment Company."

"The supervisor is still responsible for specific affairs?" Xu Xiyu asked confused.

"That's not true. The main reason is that I was in Xiangjiang recently and met with several local film and television company bosses. It just so happened that from last year to now, all six joint-venture films in Xiangjiang that were introduced to the mainland market have been sold out.
< br>

Not only did the joint venture films fail, but they may also be really unlucky, and the films that were jointly produced by pure investment also failed.

Now my boyfriend is like a rocket. Movies and TV series are taking off all at once. Wu Youjin thought about it, wouldn't he have found me? ”

Xu Xiyu couldn't help but laugh when he heard Ke Xinying saying "throw the street" one after another. It’s true that my accent will change when I go to Northeast China, and my Cantonese will come naturally when I go to Xiangjiang.

To be honest, he was not surprised that Hong Kong's joint-venture film was rejected, because Hollywood films were also rejected. The current box office of the movie market is dominated by mainland movies.

So, he said: "So, do they plan to purely invest in my new project, or do they want them to occupy the production position and make a joint venture film?"

"I think they want to make a joint venture film. After all, the reputation is better, and the product is Xiangjiang. However, you may not be able to write a script with Xiangjiang flavor.

It makes no sense to recruit a Xiangjiang screenwriter to save a book and ask you for pure investment. Therefore, I guess I still want to invest in your new project.

Hey, boy, you are really popular now. Do you know how many people are eagerly waiting for your new project? Everyone wants to come in and invest. "Ke Xinying said and patted Xu Xiyu's head.

She wasn't talking nonsense.

Whether it's "Crazy" or "I'm Not the God of Medicine," they are both low-cost and high-yield projects. Especially "I'm Not the God of Medicine", which cost less than 100 million, has now grossed more than 1 billion at the box office, and this is still the first day of its release.

Anyone else would be jealous.

But the investment share of a movie is limited. Everyone knows that Hua Qing and Xiao Moss together account for at least 60% of the share.

China Film Group will take part of the remaining 40%.

There is very little left over to share with everyone.

This is the current situation in the investment world. You may not be able to invest even if you get money for a "famous" project. You have to beg others to get them to invest in you.

As for those that are not "famous", no matter whether the quality is good or bad, most of the people who beg grandpa and grandma for change are ignored.

Thinking of this, Ke Xinying couldn't help but touched Xu Xiyu's dog head and sighed: "How do you think your brain grows? How can you hold so many things?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiyu said deliberately: "What will I do if one day I am exhausted?"

"Have you exhausted your talent? Just exhaust it. By that time, you will have a group of strong men under you. As long as you don't make the wrong direction, they will definitely be able to achieve something in return for you."

"It makes sense." Xu Xiyu nodded when he heard this, and then suddenly thought of something, "Hey, is "I'm Not the God of Medicine" not eligible for the Academy Award?"

"Is this movie funded by Hong Kong?"

"No."

"If you can't apply, you can try the Golden Horse Awards. They will be judged at the end of the year. However, the probability of winning the award is relatively low. They have been a little crazy in the past two years. They might give you a bunch of nominations, and then you won't win even one award. I’m just kidding you if I don’t give it.”

The Hong Kong Film Awards are different from the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards. The Golden Horse Awards select all Chinese-language films.

The Hong Kong Film Awards originally only allowed films led by Hong Kong investors to participate in the competition. Later, it was relaxed to include Hong Kong investors in the film investment structure to be eligible to participate.

Generally speaking, in recent years, whether it is the Golden Horse Awards or the Academy Awards, they are all a bit self-entertaining.

However, in the eyes of many ordinary audiences who do not pay attention to the entertainment industry, especially older audiences, these two awards are still the most valuable awards in the Chinese film market.

This is a kind of thinking inertia.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu sighed and said: "Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers are about to be evaluated, and I don't know how many "I'm Not the God of Medicine" can win."

"Huabiao won't comment this year?" Ke Xinying was startled.

"Didn't this award just be judged last year?" Xu Xiyu said matter-of-factly.

"Oh, I forgot." Ke Xinying responded. The Huabiao Award is held every two years, and the next one will have to wait until next year.

After saying that, she said cheerfully: "What's the matter? It sounds like you want to finish it."

"Of course it would be best if you can finish it." Xu Xiyu said with a smile. In fact, what he wanted most was to help Lu Qinyao win a prize.

It's best to get a few more, so that Lu Qinyao can truly become famous again in the film industry.

Ke Xinying seemed to know what Xu Xiyu was thinking, and said, "Don't even think about Lu Qinyao's prize."

"Why?" Xu Xiyu was puzzled, "She acted so well."

"It has nothing to do with whether she acted well or not. The main thing is that the male actors in "I'm Not the God of Medicine" performed better, whether it was Xu Fengchun or Meng Chengming.

In addition, the awards for outstanding screenplay and outstanding film are probably also awarded to "I'm Not the God of Medicine", judging from the habit of dividing the pie in previous years.

Awards for actresses and even outstanding directors are awarded to other films, but there are definitely nominations. "Ke Xinying explained that as a senior practitioner, she has always been in a top-level position.

Ke Xinying is very aware of these things.

When Xu Xiyu heard this, he couldn't help scratching his chin.

What to do?
