1413 [King of the Movie World] Next

Inside the conference room—

The atmosphere seemed solemn and serious.

Many celebrities in the film industry gathered together, which is a rare phenomenon in Hong Kong.

Outside the conference room—

Song Zhichao was explaining some things to the people around him. At this time, Hong Kong star Tsang Zhiwei, who acted as the host of the conference, came out and said respectfully to Song Zhichao: "Mr. Song, it's ready inside. Do you think you're going to start?"

Song Zhichao nodded and gave a few instructions to Ruan Jun and Ruan Ling, asking them to wait outside. Then he personally took Jin Jiu, Niu Xiong and other confidants to walk towards the conference hall.

When she arrived at the door, Song Zhichao stopped.

Jin Jiu stepped forward and helped him open the door.

The eyes suddenly became clear, and the huge conference room was filled with people.

Song Zhichao stepped into the conference hall.

"Welcome Mr. Song Zhichao!" As the host, Zeng Zhiwei was the first to applaud.

Suddenly—

More than 300 people looked at Song Zhichao and applauded at the same time.

The applause was shocking and deafening.

Song Zhichao walked to the rostrum calmly and glanced at everyone.

Everyone was looking at him and staring at him at this moment.

Song Zhichao laughed, then said, "I had a dream last night."

Everyone knew that the speech was about to begin, but they were curious about what Song Zhichao's dream was? Is there anything mysterious about the same as the black leader Martin Luther King?

Seeing everyone curious, Song Zhichao continued, "In my dream, I went to another world, and that world also has Hong Kong and Hong Kong movies."

"But unfortunately, the Hong Kong movies there are no longer brilliant. The Hong Kong movies that were originally proud of by countless Hong Kong people and countless Chinese people have fallen to the extreme."

"In that world, only 105 movies have started filming in Hong Kong in a year, and only thirty-five movies can be released!"

Everyone in the audience looked at each other in front of them.

You should know that when Hong Kong movies were at its most glorious, at least five or six hundred films started filming a year, and more than three hundred were released. In the dream world that Song Zhichao mentioned, Hong Kong movies actually fell to that level, which was simply incredible.

Song Zhichao ignored everyone's reaction and continued: "Out of curiosity, I asked the Hong Kong filmmakers in that world, and asked them why Hong Kong films declined? Why would the Hong Kong film industry with outstanding stars like Jackie Chan, Fa Ge, and Jet Li be in a slump? Do you know how they answered?"

Everyone looks at me, and I look at you, no one knows the answer.

Song Zhichao smiled and continued: "They said that the decline of Hong Kong movies comes from many reasons. The first reason-" Song Zhichao raised a finger, "The problem of Hong Kong's star system!"

"As we all know, Hong Kong stars are one of the most profitable people in the world except Hollywood stars. As far as I know, Jackie Chan's salary in Hong Kong is about 10 million, and Fa Ge's salary is about 8 million. This is still the friendship price, because their schedule is very full, and you may not be able to get it even if you have money."

Jackie Chan and Fa Ge smiled awkwardly in the audience.

Song Zhichao: "But, have you calculated that how much investment is in a Hong Kong movie? The highest one may be the "Flying Eagle Plan" filmed by Jackie Chan two years ago, with an investment of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars. Among these investment amounts, Jackie Chan's pay accounted for one-third!"

"Of course, I don't mean to criticize anyone here. My relationship with Jackie Chan is also very good-looking. The reason I say this is because I hope everyone can understand where the key funds that restrict the development of Hong Kong films are consumed?!"

"As a celebrity, it's understandable to make money from filming; but you can't pull Hong Kong movies down abyss because of your high pay! I hope everyone can reflect on this."

Song Zhichao's words came to his feet, and everyone in the audience, especially those big stars, showed their expressions of thinking.

In fact, the "star salary limit order" issued by Song Zhichao in the past has burned all over Xiangjiang.

However, Hong Kong's star system is deeply rooted, and many celebrities cannot accept the suppressed pay, so they collectively "rebelled" to join Kang's Entertainment.

But now, the entire Hong Kong is already the only one in Song Zhichao. Even if they want to revolt, they must have a company that can be surrendered to.

In addition, these stars have actually considered the current situation of Hong Kong movies and understand that if Hong Kong movies are not reformed and acted, they will be finished sooner or later.

Song Zhichao's open and honest remarks today were like a wake-up call, which made them, such big stars, sober up a lot.

"Yes, if you want to save Hong Kong and save Hong Kong movies, you must make sacrifices!" countless people thought so.

...

On the rostrum—

Seeing that everyone was thinking about what he said just now, Song Zhichao tapped the table again and said, "The second reason for the future decline of Hong Kong movies is that Hong Kong filmmakers have not protected the innovative system of Hong Kong movies well and like to follow the trend! - "Mr. Zombie" became popular, everyone went to shoot zombie films; "The Invincible in the East" became popular, everyone went to shoot martial arts films. The market only cares about making dollars, completely ignoring the life and death of Hong Kong movies!"

There were two people in the audience who were deeply touched. One was the "ghost hunter" Lin Zhengying who specialized in filming zombie films, and the other was the great director Tsui Hark, who specialized in filming martial arts films.

For Lin Zhengying, he and Xu Guanying, Qian Xiaohao and others filmed the zombie film "Mr. Zombie", which set a precedent for Hong Kong zombie films and also gave Hong Kong movies a new type, which made the box office of Hong Kong movies that year explode because of this zombie film.

However, just after the popularity of "Mr. Zombie", the entire Hong Kong film market was full of people and they all began to shoot zombie films, such as "Music Zombie", "Zombie Doctor", and many bad movies emerged one after another, and there were even some people who played the blue edge.

An originally very good IP was directly destroyed by these Hong Kong filmmakers. In order to make quick money, everyone finished playing together and sank the ship together.

For the great director Tsui Hark, his feeling is that the director's creativity is often plagiarized by many Hong Kong filmmakers. For example, after the film "Oriental Unbeaten" he directed was sold at the box office in Hong Kong, some unknown directors and some slightly more famous directors began to stir up this bowl of rice, such as "Oriental Unbeaten Resurrection", "The Legend of Fire Clouds", "New Blood Sword", "New Dragon and the Dragon Basketball", etc., all of them flocked out.

As a result, more than 300 similar martial arts films were filmed in one go this year!

The cinema is playing martial arts in the morning and martial arts in the evening. It makes countless viewers feel tired of watching it, and their minds are filled with the "experts" flying around.

Tsui Hark created an era of martial arts, and also watched this era he created with his own hands be plagiarized, flooded and developed and directly destroyed.

Of course, at this moment, except for Lam Zhengying and Tsui Hark, other Hong Kong filmmakers present also had their own feelings.

Song Zhichao paused and continued, "It's okay to make money by making movies! Everyone relies on begging for food! However, in order to make quick money, it kills the creativity that many filmmakers finally burst out. I think this problem is a big deal!"

"If you don't talk about anything else, you can check out the Hollywood film industry model. Do they have such creative plagiarism? Is there any such drama that has become popular and hundreds of dramas have rushed forward? The answer is, no!"

Song Zhichao knocked on the table with his hand, then looked stern and said, "Because Hollywood has very complete rules and regulations, creativity cannot be copied, let alone copied!"

Song Zhichao's voice suddenly became louder and shocking.

Everyone looked at him, as if they suddenly felt the powerful aura emitted by Song Zhichao. They held their breath and did not dare to slack off at all.

"So, if our Hong Kong films want to continue to develop, we must give unlimited respect to those who have creativity! Respect their labor and their efforts!"

Song Zhichao raised his fingers, and this posture attracted everyone's attention. He said: "From today, starting from what I have said - I, Song Zhichao, on behalf of Hong Kong films, and on behalf of all Hong Kong film companies, announced that Hong Kong films must be reformed! And today is a new era of reform!"

It is loud and shocking!

The huge venue was silent for three seconds.

Then—

Wow!!!!

Applause is like thunder!

At this moment—
Chapter completed!
