After hearing what Xia Tian said, everyone here nodded. .

Indeed, the problem of stealing the Sakaku is very serious everywhere. For example, Taiwan’s so-called “Fourth Channel”, which is an illegal underground cable TV, has many specialized in broadcasting Hong Kong films.

As long as you pay a cable TV fee, you can enjoy the latest and most complete Hong Kong movies without having to buy tickets or videotapes.

During Taiwan's peak period, there were as many as three or four hundred "Second Channel 4", the largest one, with more than 10,000 subscribers. It can be said that the existence of "Second Channel 4" seriously affected the profits of Hong Kong films in Taiwan.

What's even more terrifying is that Taiwanese theater chain dealers and Tuozhang Group were in a mess. After the movie copy was shipped to Taiwan, the movie copy was scolded by Tuozhang Group from the car that left the airport.

The replicas were sold in Taiwan and were also ripped into video tapes, which also brought great losses to Hong Kong film manufacturers.

However, the Taiwanese authorities have not enforced the law effectively and have no restraint on these matters. They allow the Tuozhang Group to be rampant. Illegal cable TV has become rampant, which has also made Hong Kong film merchants hate them and are very dissatisfied with them, but they can do nothing about it.

"Although the mainland's thief is serious, there are still many people watching movies." Xia Tian smiled slightly, "The number of people exceeds 8 billion per year is 160 times the total population of Hong Kong. The total box office of the whole year is 1.45 billion, which is twice the total box office of Hong Kong. If we include the income from celebrity walks, concerts, advertising endorsements, etc., I think all companies can make a lot of money."

The number of moviegoers in the mainland is the most popular, but because the ticket price is relatively low, it can only be watched by a movie for a few cents or even one or two yuan. In comparison, the ticket price in Hong Kong is more than 20 yuan, so the total box office in the mainland is not very high.

However, the performance market in the mainland is still very large. For example, Hong Kong and Taiwan third-rate singers appear on stage in the mainland, and it is not uncommon to get five digits for a song. There are many artists in Tianxia Entertainment who specialize in performing this kind of performance. After two years of release, they all bought buildings.

The performance market in the mainland is very large. Even if you only go to one place once, you will never be able to transfer it in your life. So even if you can’t make money from the movie, you can still make it back through means such as essaying, advertising endorsement, etc.

This is like the mainland music scene in my previous life. Even if it is the king of the sky, the queen of the sky cannot sell much sales. She makes money entirely by making tricks.

The income is also quite good at holding concerts, fan meetings, meetings, bars, bath centers, wedding ceremonies, business celebrations, etc.

...

After listening to Xia Tian’s introduction, everyone here nodded.

The Hong Kong entertainment industry is somewhat different from its previous life.

In the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the previous life, celebrities were all free, and at most they only signed contracts with agency companies, and simply cooperated with production companies. In other words, celebrities are not restricted by production companies and are very similar to Hollywood's "star-centered system". So whoever was popular at that time would use whoever had a higher cost performance.

Moreover, there were so many production companies at that time that anyone with some money could form a production company and film. For example, Hong Jingbao once performed a movie "Five Fortune Stars Crashing the Ghost". It was because a jockey named Hong opened a film company, so they were invited to film.

Jockeys have opened film companies, which shows how chaotic the Hong Kong entertainment industry was in the 1990s. It is precisely because there are too many film companies that each company wants to use Red Star to film, so the pay for celebrities has become higher and higher.

This is a bit like the mainland entertainment industry today. The popularity of popular celebrities is getting higher and higher, and even the income of a drama can exceed 100 million yuan, which is simply scary.

Now, because the summer is implementing a large studio system, we sign stars to support themselves. Other film companies have also followed suit and selected excellent talents to support themselves, so the celebrity agency contracts are signed to the production company.

This limits the pay of celebrities. In the past life, many celebrities had pay of more than HK$30 million. Pure vase actors like Lizhi dared to bid for one million Hong Kong dollars.

But now, everyone's pay is in a relatively reasonable range, generally not more than one million. Only artists like Lin Qingxia, Wang Xian, Cheng Long, and Zhou Runfa who have missed their faces and become famous in the world can get a pay of more than two million Hong Kong dollars.

This "big studio" system, namely the "production company center system", allows production companies to dominate the entertainment industry, effectively manage their artists, and obtain greater benefits.

This kind of advice from summer is very consistent with their requirements, so they are all very satisfied.

...

"But everyone, everyone knows that the mainland market is difficult to enter, and the requirements are relatively strict. To be honest, people are also vigilant with our Hong Kong film industry.

If we want to enter the mainland market, it is best to be able to follow the rules and no one can make mistakes. Otherwise, if one person makes a mistake, it will likely affect all of us." Xia Tian warned again.

Most of Hong Kong film companies are from the Free Association, that is, people from Taiwan. In order to cater to the Taiwan market, they have made many films that satirize the mainland, so the relationship between the mainland and the Hong Kong film industry is not very good.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult to make the mainland accept the "rejection" from the Hong Kong film industry immediately, which requires continuous communication and continuous attempts between the two sides.

During this process, as long as there is a family making trouble, the plan may be ruined and the mainland may close the door to Hong Kong.

Just like in the previous life, the mainland once placed hopes on Hong Kong movies, hoping to win over Hong Kong filmmakers. Therefore, in the 1990s, the mainland co-production market was opened and Hong Kong film companies were allowed to cooperate with the mainland to film.

As a result, some Hong Kong film companies were not in a bad position and made many banned movies when they collaborated with the mainland. As a result, the mainland eventually closed the door to Hong Kong films, and it was not until 2003 that the co-production market was reopened. However, at that time, Hong Kong films were already dead.

Xia Tian knew about this, so he gave you a vaccination first.

When everyone heard this, they nodded.

"Okay, let's start with villains and then gentlemen, and make three rules! First, when entering the mainland market, everyone must abide by the law; second, when entering the mainland market, everyone must respect the review system; third, do not do anything to disrupt cooperative relations, and do not say anything to disrupt cooperative relations." Xia Tian immediately said, "These three are the basics, and people with different opinions can now say it." Xia Tian said again.

Everyone here looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Xia Tian said everything is reasonable, what are they going to refute? Besides, with Xia Tian’s current power in the Hong Kong film industry, who dares to refute it?

All of them are now acquiesced.

"Okay, since there is no different opinion, everyone will abide by it. If anyone is fouled, then I will say ugly things ahead, from film companies to actors, screenwriters, lighting, photography, etc., all of them will be sealed in the industry and will be eliminated!" Xia Tian warned later.
