At the beginning of March, Good Dream received an invitation letter from the Organizing Committee of the Xiangjiang Film Awards.
Infernal Affairs has received 14 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor, of which Huang Bo has been nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Best Newcomer, and Lin Zixuan has also been nominated for Best Screenplay, becoming the favorite of this year's Academy Awards.
The only thing that can compete with Infernal Affairs is Shaolin football, which has received thirteen nominations.
Thanks to the two big hits Infernal Affairs and Shaolin Football, the Hong Kong Film Market has regained some vitality, giving people the impression of recovery.
The Hong Kong media reported on this year's Academy Awards, listing the major highlights.
Especially for the nomination of Best Actor, there are many stars, Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei, Zhou Xingzhi and Zhang Xueyou, each of whom is a big star, and the competition is particularly fierce.
Huang Bo faced the same problem.
Among the nominees for Best Supporting Actor, there are Zeng Zhiwei and Huang Qiusheng, who also starred in Infernal Affairs, these two are veteran movie stars in Hong Kong and have strong strength.
However, he has a big advantage in the award of Best Newcomer.
Moreover, My Sassy Girlfriend was nominated for Best Asian Film, starring Huang Bo, which means that he has two films shortlisted for this Academy Awards.
Coupled with the publicity of Good Dream Company, some media regard Huang Bo as a representative of the new generation of the mainland film industry.
The Hong Kong Film Awards will open in mid-April, and Lin Zixuan will form a team to go.
He was not nominated for the best screenplay, but to meet with powerful figures in the Hong Kong film industry to exchange views and gain an in-depth understanding of the current situation in the Hong Kong film industry.
Good Dream Company's entry into the Xiangjiang film industry has achieved initial results, and the success of Infernal Affairs has opened a door.
It's just that, as an outsider, I have to pay attention to local forces, especially the Xiangjiang film industry, the situation is complicated, with both a mature production system and the penetration of various external forces.
Capitalists, social groups, film and television companies and entertainers constitute the world of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Lin Zixuan didn't plan to get too deep, he used the Xiangjiang Film Industry as a pedal to communicate with European and American film companies, and at the same time collect talents for my use.
Once besieged by the local forces in Xiangjiang, he can withdraw directly.
Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, for the declining Xiangjiang film industry, there is nothing to be nostalgic for, and the so-called Oriental Hollywood has become a bubble.
Lin Zixuan just wants to harvest the last, whether it is a star or a behind-the-scenes staff.
He had several things to do when he arrived in Xiangjiang.
The second part of Infernal Affairs has been filmed and is scheduled to be released in the summer in May.
Lin Zixuan wants to talk about the third part.
The third part continues to be starred by Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei, and several new roles will be added, and the cost will skyrocket.
The first part invested 25 million Hong Kong dollars, the second part is not much different, and the third part has an investment of more than 60 million, and the increase in actors' salaries is the main reason.
For supporting roles such as Zeng Zhiwei and Huang Qiusheng, the salary offered is two to three times that of the first part.
The same is true for the director and behind-the-scenes staff, the salary is linked to fame, so calculated, the entire crew will be paid more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars alone.
This is a common phenomenon in series films.
Unless the series changes actors and production teams, the production costs will only get higher and higher, but changing actors is a big risk, and the audience may not buy it.
This is the process of the game between the investor and the actor.
Investors want to control costs and reduce risks, and actors have to fight for their own interests.
In the third part of Infernal Affairs, the plot of the mainland was added, Chen Daoming played an undercover agent from the mainland, and Good Dream Company increased its control over the crew.
Lin Zixuan contacted the film company in Hong Kong because a film company wanted to invest in Infernal Affairs.
They have long been eyeing this blockbuster film, there are too few movies in Xiangjiang that can make money every year, except for those big star scenes, it can be said that one film loses one film.
The entire industry is going downhill, and small-budget films are favored by investors, hoping to make a big deal with a small one.
In this case, Xiangjiang's literary films have a tendency to rise.
This is a very interesting phenomenon, with the development of the mainland film market, commercial films have gradually become the mainstream, and literary films have lost their living space.
It can be seen that the role of the market is not without opportunities, but whether it can be seized.
Lin Zixuan doesn't mind accepting the investment of Heung Kong Film Company, with the participation of local forces, the film will sell better, and everyone will make money, of course, he will not agree to too greedy requests.
He has the confidence to do so.
Xiaoxue's big adventure exceeded $700 million at the global box office, and Good Dream has huge potential and has a lot of influence in the mainland, and Xiangjiang's film and television companies have long been outdated in this round of competition.
Besides, he can also put forward his own conditions.
The copyright department of Haomeng Company is in the process of acquiring the online broadcast rights of major film studios and film and television companies in the mainland, and Lin Zixuan hopes to reach an agreement with the film companies and TV stations in Hong Kong to obtain the broadcast rights of Hong Kong film and television dramas on the mainland network.
This is undoubtedly a rich film and television resource.
After all, Xiangjiang has the title of Oriental Hollywood, and has produced countless film and television dramas over the years, some of which caused a sensation when they were broadcast in the mainland.

Even if it's for nostalgia, there will be people watching it on the Internet.
There is another thing related to Liu Dehua.
The infighting in Tianmu Company reached the point of going to court, and Lau Dehua filed a lawsuit with the court, demanding that the company pay him a gratuity of 15 million Hong Kong dollars.
Another shareholder of the company, Mak Shaotang, sued for liquidated damages of HK$150 million from Lau Tak Wah, and applied to prohibit all of Lau Tak Wah's performance activities. even threatened to ban Liu Dehua's acting career.
The lawsuit has caused a lot of trouble.
On the one hand, Lin Zixuan expressed his support for Liu Dehua and could not affect the filming of the sequel to Infernal Affairs because of this incident, and on the other hand, he wanted to talk to Liu Dehua face-to-face.
The dissolution of the canopy is a foregone conclusion, and this is an opportunity for the Good Dream Company to intervene.
He is willing to invest and cooperate with Liu Dehua to set up a film and television company as a stronghold of Good Dream in Xiangjiang.
It is foreseeable that Hong Kong filmmakers will continue to go north to seek a living in the mainland, and there will be more and more opportunities for joint ventures between the two places, and it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be mixed.
Lin Zixuan decided to do some screening work.
Give some help and support to those directors who really want to make films, and those directors who are eager for quick success, fishing in troubled waters, and earning pension checks are blacklisted.
The blacklist is not only implemented in Good Dreams, but also in the film and television companies associated with Good Dreams.
This may not be able to close all the loopholes, but at least it can reduce some of the bad movies. t1706231537:
