Cutting the ribbon for the joint venture is just a reason, but in fact, several people from Guangdong TV are eager to see Zhang Shaoping.

As soon as Zhang Shaoping arrived in Suicheng, Deputy Director Liu Chi came to him. Before the others arrived, he shouted, "Zhang Sheng, do you have any objections to our people in Guangdong Province?"

Zhang Shaoping asked in surprise: "How do you say this?"

"We all the people of Guangdong Province are now looking forward to the stars and the moon, just waiting for your TV series to bring in to enrich our spiritual food. You are so good, the old god is here, only the wind is heard but the rain is not seen. You said, "What are you not having any objections to us?"

Zhang Shaoping was puzzled and Liu Chi complained like a machine gun, but he solved his doubts.

"Haha, what is it? It turns out that it's this. I'm busy and can't make any moves for a while. Don't be anxious. I'll stop doing anything else, just stare at this until it's done. Do you think this is OK?" Zhang Shaoping smiled.

"It's better to be quicker! I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you when I say it. TV series is extremely scarce in our mainland. Many TV series are broadcast again and again, and some are disgusted by the audience. In order to fill this gap, we have always adopted excellent TV series imported from abroad. The shortcomings are replaced by movies."

Speaking of this, Liu Chi looked helpless. So far, there is no real talent in China who can produce long TV series.

It has been more than 30 years since the founding of the country, but it was not until last year that the first "domestic" TV series "18 Years of Enemy Camp" was born in amid controversy. It was produced by CCTV. It has only 9 episodes, and the filming and production are rough and not only because of the criticism, but also because of the false plot and monotonous characters, and the whole country is full of criticism.

The second "domestic" TV series is "The Legend of Shrimp Ball" produced by Guangdong TV. This drama is not bad. It created a peak of viewing in mainland TV series with the singing of Cheng Fangyuan's "The Song of the Wandering Son", and received unanimous praise from all over the country. Unfortunately, it only has 8 episodes, and in addition to the ratings, it can only be the second place in other aspects.

Regarding what Liu Chi said, Zhang Shaoping knew very well that mainland TV dramas, whether they are filming, production, equipment, content conception, drama creativity and commercial operation, etc., were far behind the outside world. These disadvantages did not gradually change until 1993. The opportunity for breakthrough was brought by the northbound co-production films and Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television talents. These excellent film and television talents deeply influenced the current situation, market and pattern of film and television in the mainland.

Back then, the film "My Fair Princess" became popular all over the country, and then swept the Hong Kong TV market at a tornado speed, forcing the TV station, which dominated Hong Kong's prime time ratings for many years, was helpless and had to avoid its edge. Not only that, the drama was also popular throughout Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asian countries, and logged into Mongolia, Russia, Ukraine, and even entered the United States, which caused a rating frenzy. It was the highest-rated TV series in Asia, and it was still the record holder until Zhang Shaoping's soul penetrated Hong Kong.

Therefore, co-production and exchange are the most urgent needs of the mainland film and television market at present. It urgently needs a window to open to contact the outside world without suddenly shaking the world in the window. At the same time, the negotiations between China and the UK are already in progress, and the two sides have even reached a consensus to hand over Hong Kong to China. The mainland authorities are therefore stepping up their layout and closely increasing cultural exchanges with Hong Kong and Macao to prepare for a smooth return in the future.

Zhang Shaoping only knew that the mainland TV series was very poor, so he needed to import the series, but he didn't know the various insider considerations of the authorities. This was also because he was lucky and happened to hit the timing.

Since Liu Chi was in a hurry to introduce the drama, Zhang Shaoping didn't dare to delay it. He thought for a while and said, "Deputy Director Liu, let's do it. After participating in the ribbon cutting of the new company, I immediately returned to Hong Kong to start this matter. I should be able to give you a sure letter soon."

Liu Chi nodded and said, "Okay!"

After talking about this, Liu Chi reminisced about the past with Zhang Shaoping and left in a hurry.

After Liu Chi left, Zhang Shaoping was thinking about introducing dramas. He couldn't even raise any interest in the opening of the joint venture. Zhang Shaoping originally wanted to return to Hong Kong immediately, but after the company opened, he would print and publish the first issue of the journals and magazines, which was equally important to him.

"Zhang Sheng, this is the Greater China version of "Movie Times" magazine that was just printed. Do you think it's okay?" Chen Guanzhong handed it to Zhang Shaoping with a joyful look on his face.

This is a magazine that has not been bound yet. It has just been freshly released and emits a faint fragrance of ink.

Zhang Shaoping took it and the cover was a pretty woman with a beautiful appearance and a fresh and natural simplicity that made people look at it and it was unforgettable. In addition to not being fashionable enough in dressing, appearance and temperament are the best choices. Zhang Shaoping sighed that it was not uncommon for the beauty of the mainland in the same era, but because of the background of the times, many people's limelight was covered up.

The cover also annotated the name of this woman, Cong Shan. When I turned to the page, I found out that she had filmed a movie called "The Wrangler". The director is Xie Jin. Xie Jin and Zhang Shaoping have heard of it. It seems that later generations once said that he was a "four and a half generations" director, playing an excessive role in connecting the past and the future.

This is a movie between the main theme and personalization. This film mainly shows the truth, goodness and beauty of ordinary people. Cong Shan was selected to play the heroine Li Xiuzhi with her simple appearance. Although this was her first time acting in a movie, she was not frightened and accurately showed the destruction of women by the feudal ethics of the old Chinese-Chinese.

This is nothing, but the subsequent statistics almost scared Zhang Shaoping. A movie he had never heard of had reached 120 million. What does this mean? If you count the ticket price of a single cent movie, it would be 12 million yuan, which would be nearly 40 million yuan. This data can completely kill the big production, big cast, and big scene movie "Best Partner" with 26 million yuan in Hong Kong's local box office this year. This investment profit ratio is even more unchallenged by "Best Partner" on the Rockets.

"Is this data true or false?" Zhang Shaoping pointed to the numbers published in the magazine and asked Chen Guanzhong unbelievably.

"It shouldn't be fake! This is the statistical data obtained by the Guangdong Provincial Cultural Administration Bureau from above. They said that this is only possible to calculate less and will never calculate more."

When Chen Guanzhong suddenly saw Zhang Shaoping's shocked look, he felt much more balanced. It turned out that it was not that I was not calm enough, but that this data really made people unable to calm down.

I still remember that he was drinking tea when he suddenly saw this. He was shocked and his hands were trembling. The hot tea poured on his thighs, almost losing his life's blessing. He thought that the data had been typed incorrectly, so he quickly asked the editor to review the manuscript, but was dissuaded by the staff in Guangdong Province, saying that the data was like this and it would not be wrong.

"Is this movie very famous? So many people watched it!"

Zhang Shaoping was puzzled about this.

In this era, there were very few cinemas in the mainland, almost all of which were located in famous large and medium-sized cities. Therefore, people who can enter the cinema to watch movies are generally urban residents, while the vast majority of people in the countryside do not enter the cinemas because there will be movie players organized by the government to travel to each production brigade to show movies for everyone to watch for free.

Of course, this is free and will soon become paid.

Chen Guanzhong said seriously: "Zhang Sheng, you didn't read what was written in the magazine: the release of the movie "The Wrangler" brought great shock to the Chinese people.

The Chinese people also fell in love with Cong Shan overnight.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shaoping rolled his eyes and said angrily: "That's an article, written for readers, can it be done accurately?"

After leaving a word, he ignored Chen Guanzhong and continued to flip through the magazine.

Today's mainland films are still mainly based on the main theme, which is really unremarkable. In order to highlight the highlights, they use a lot of words to describe the pride of mainland films "Shaolin Temple". When introducing Hong Kong movies, they focus on the prosperity, maturity and diversity of the Hong Kong film market. Then, using the three movies "Best Partner", "The Dragon Master" and "Traveling to the Angry Sea" as examples to illustrate the blooming of Hong Kong movies.

From beginning to end, Zhang Shaoping looked through it and found that in the magazine, mainland film reports accounted for one-third of the space, and Hong Kong and Taiwan accounted for one-third of the space. The rest were introductions of Chinese films and filmmakers from Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other places.

After thinking about it, Zhang Shaoping said: "This magazine is very good. After it is published, it will definitely be loved by mainland readers. However, there are too many articles in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other places. The next issue should be reduced, and then more content of mainland and Hong Kong co-production films are added. As for the others, you are the general manager, so you can do it."

Zhang Shaoping is an outsider and can't put forward any good opinions, so he dare not say anything. As for whether he can open the market, Zhang Shaoping has never doubted it. The full color printing of the entire magazine alone is enough to sweep the many movies, TV and magazines in the market.

"It seems that Zhang Sheng is very jealous of the huge market in the mainland!" After taking the magazine sample handed back by Zhang Shaoping, Chen Guanzhong joked. Focusing on the filming, anyone with discerning eyes knows that this is for the mainland market.

"Who doesn't care about such a big piece of cake? It's just that we can decide whether we can get the cake."

At this time, Zhang Shaoping thought of Jiang Zhiqiang again. This guy refused his kindness to recruit him, saying that he wanted to build a cinema in the mainland and develop a film market in the mainland. Calculate the day, this guy should leave, right? He said that he would call Zhang Shaoping to go with him when he left, but now, Zhang Shaoping has not received any news.

"He wouldn't have forgotten this matter, right? Hey, it seems that he has to call to remind him after returning to Hong Kong." Zhang Shaoping thought that he had been busy picking up girls and actually forgot such an important matter, which was a shame. If it weren't for the report of "The Wrangler" today, Zhang Shaoping would have never thought of this matter.
Chapter completed!
