"It's the rating system. I think this system is a very suitable thing for the Hong Kong film industry. With this thing, although some movies will lose some viewers, the audience base will not be too large. But there are also With this, some previously banned films can now be filmed legally, and new interests have emerged. Generally speaking, this is a great benefit to our joint cinema chain and the Hong Kong film market. If such a system is implemented, the public opinion community will have fewer opportunities to make irresponsible remarks about our film industry, and we will not have to worry about some of the pressure that has been placed on us because of the classification system. You can answer a lot of questions," Li Mingbao said seriously. Regarding this issue, Li Mingbao has wanted to complain for a long time, but it is a pity that there was no such opportunity before, but now it is just right. These things are definitely a new idea for Uncle Liu and the others, and they are worth operating. You should know that the Hong Kong comics industry served as a forerunner of the Japanese comics industry at certain times, and many of the good rules of Hong Kong comics were later integrated into the Japanese comics industry. But because the system of the Hong Kong comics industry is unclear and the style of painting is outstanding, public opinion and the government jointly suppressed it. After that, Hong Kong comics slowly withered. Although some good works appeared, the prosperous period was over. It's over. Just like two thousand years later, the Hong Kong film market is in a slump. Although it has produced a movie like "Infernal Affairs" that was well-received and popular, it still cannot save the future of the Hong Kong market. In the end, Hong Kong's local artists are still famous. You can go to the mainland to make money, and with the platform of the mainland, you can also go to Hollywood to hang out. The masters behind the scenes either go to Hollywood or to the mainland. Even Hong Kong directors, who are most outstanding in their local area, are making salty and wet films. Only by going abroad can they really have a future. Hong Kong's comics industry actually has this kind of problem. Even if Huang Zhenglong is capable, won't he have to make false accounts in the future? How could he do such a thing if comics were in a good year? Things in the Hong Kong comics industry are very complicated, because when they were prosperous, the industry was actually not very large, let alone compared with the film industry. In addition, the main readers of Hong Kong comics are actually teenagers, and the Xiaoshou channel terminals of comics are basically places like newsstands. It is basically impossible to implement a grading system to revive the comics industry. Hong Kong English The government authorities have not come up with any system that is beneficial to the comics industry. Unlike Japan, although the comics industry has not become their pillar industry, it still takes care of this group and has formulated many laws and regulations that are beneficial to the comics industry. Therefore, the rise of Japanese comics is inevitable and irresistible. The Hong Kong comics industry does not have many talents. Coupled with the previous turmoil and the disregard of the British Hong Kong government, its decline is inevitable. This is not an outcome that can be changed by some awesome practitioner. Anyway, the local development of any industry is inseparable from support. Without these things, the industry itself will not see much improvement. The same is true for Hong Kong movies. If the tax rate for Hong Kong movies is very high, the laws are strict, and the control is strong, even if the profits are high, there will be no madness behind it, because the high-profit industries in Hong Kong are not just movies. The road can be walked. Instead of struggling in this industry, it would be easier for those investors to make money in other industries. It is the Hong Kong government's loose regulatory measures on the film industry that caused the abnormal prosperity of the film industry later. Li Mingbao associated it with the Hong Kong film industry and the comics industry, so after he finished speaking, he fell silent for a while. At this time, Uncle Liu also said: "The grading system sounds good, but I don't know what the British Hong Kong government thinks about this matter. This matter cannot be solved in a day or two. If you want to give this system A lot of work still needs to be done to get it done. "What they think is of no practical significance to us. I also stayed in Hollywood for a while. After returning to Hong Kong, I made a special trip to ask some questions. Regarding the legal issues in this area, I discovered a very surprising fact, that is, the current Censorship Bureau is not a legal department in the first place. To put it bluntly, they have no qualifications to manage the distribution of our films. So they only need public opinion. With proper control, it is not impossible for us to implement such a system. It can only be said that the most important thing for us is not how to get them to pass such regulations, but how we do it. Seize the power to formulate regulations. Only a grading system that suits our interests will benefit us. If we let outsiders make such rules, it would be better to do so secretly. So before that, we must first get rid of the grading system. When the content is produced, it should be in line with our interests as much as possible, andWe will not allow the British Hong Kong government to seize the situation. Finally, Uncle Liu will clear things up. Then this matter will really be our internal matter and no outsiders will interfere randomly. "Li Mingbao expressed his thoughts. "Is the Electrical Inspection Bureau illegal? How can it be? "After Uncle Liu heard what Li Mingbao said, he was immediately stunned. He didn't expect that the competent department that had existed for so many years was actually an illegal department, which made Uncle Liu a little bit unacceptable. "It is indeed illegal. If Uncle Liu, you If you are interested, you can check the relevant laws and regulations. I believe that with your ability, Uncle Liu, it will be easy to know the results. "Li Mingbao answered without hesitation, because on this issue, Li Mingbao really did not lie to Uncle Six and the others, and there was no need to lie to them. "When the British ruled Hong Kong, many things were handled very sloppily, even at the beginning. At that time, they did not have the local Chinese in Hong Kong as their subjects at all. They could plunder as much as they wanted. It was only later that the British Hong Kong government decided to improve the treatment of the Chinese in a limited way, and only then did they have Chinese lawyers. , Chinese politicians, but there are quite a lot of loopholes left by previous carelessness. As long as the old Hong Kong people are aware of these things, Hong Kong will definitely return, and the British Hong Kong government only pretends to do so for political purposes. Act like good people, as if the British have always been elegant gentlemen. Although this will not deceive the old Hong Kong people, when the new generation of Hong Kong people grow up, there will be many who are deceived, and later they will cause more trouble than the old Hong Kong people. It¡¯s not surprising that this is a stupid thing. ¡°If this is the case, then there is a lot of room for us to operate in this classification system. At that time, many marginal things will not be a big problem. "Uncle Six is ??worthy of being a successful old fox. Things that ruined his outlook just like that just made him surprised for a moment, and then he began to think about how much they can manipulate. "The original chutai of Hong Kong's classification system in history, Although there were people in the film industry who put in a lot of effort, it was a pity that the power of Hong Kong filmmakers was not integrated at that time. Therefore, although the chutai classification system was still very beneficial to the film industry, the benefits were not maximized, unlike those in the United States. Compared with other grading systems, they are completely different concepts. But after Li Mingbao raises this issue, he is also looking forward to how much potential the Hong Kong film industry can explode. You know, the film industry at this time. Da Na, even if Li Mingbao does not need to come forward, there are still Liushu, Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, as well as other bosses of small and medium-sized film companies. Their abilities are quite extraordinary, and Liushu's relationship with the British Hong Kong government is quite good. Li Mingbao really has no idea what kind of good conditions he can get. Anyway, Li Mingbao knows that this rating system is really going to change. The restrictions on movies are definitely much smaller than the historical rating system. "About. Let¡¯s talk about the grading system first. I think there is another issue that urgently needs to be discussed today. That is about the screening of theatrical movies. Although Uncle Six also called me before and told me how to arrange it, in fact, that was quite broad, and as a rule, it was not very strict. Taking advantage of everyone¡¯s free time now, we will first draft the rules and regulations for movie screenings in theaters, and they can be implemented immediately after the ribbon-cutting of theaters is completed. There is no rule without rules. The current United Cinemas basically assumes more than 95% of the tasks of the Hong Kong film market. Although the profits are considerable, the responsibilities are also not small. If the rules are not followed well, a large number of people will be offended. Although all of us sitting here are people with big families and big businesses, if we can¡¯t bear it, if there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant. If the rules really cause public outrage in the industry, the impact on United Cinemas will be quite bad. "Li Mingbao continued. "This problem does need to be handled properly. Nowadays, the joint cinema chain is indeed much more profitable than before, but it is also a lot of trouble. In the past, we did not have to consider the issue of film scheduling, but now we have to consider it because of the current commercial market of Hong Kong movies. , only our United Cinemas can afford such a responsibility. In addition to our film companies, there are also other film companies in Hong Kong. The movies they make must be released in United Cinemas. The timing of the film schedule will affect the performance of a movie. If you are too selfish, you are guaranteed to have other ideas. Therefore, even if we cannot be completely fair on this issue, we cannot be too biased. "As an old fox, Uncle Six naturally understands that you can't eat all the cake by yourself. If you don't leave room for others, others will not leave room for you in the future. "I think this issue of film arrangement can be roughly divided into two parts. , aThe problem is the timing of good and bad movies. Another problem lies in the film arrangement of other companies outside our internal company. What we need to do now is to solve these two problems in a broad framework. "Li Mingbao said.
