Chapter 67 Subsidies
Chapter 67 Subsidy Film
I know this very well!
Allen blinked, how can it be related to Hong Kong when it comes to subsidy films?
"I know it's there, but I've never been there."
"Overseas colonies like this, above"
Patrice pointed upward and continued somewhat vaguely: "Every year, a large amount of specially-approved funds are used to produce subsidized films. The content of this type of film is very complicated, but the purpose is very simple."
Allen frowned. He didn't quite understand what Patrice said, but he didn't want to ask in detail and motioned for Patrice to continue.
"Master, have you seen the movies in Xiangjiang, older movies?"
"Yeah, I think I've seen it, but not much. What's wrong?"
Patrice had a smile on his face and whispered: "Actually, their old movies were all in a language they call Mandarin, but then they were asked to shoot in dialects. If they didn't obey, they would be shot at the box office.
or crack down on them through the review process!”
"???"
Although Patrice's expression was a bit vague, he understood it. The general meaning was that in the old movies in Xiangjiang, the actors in the dialogues used Mandarin, but later they gradually changed to Cantonese.
The British are really a troublemaker, they do this everywhere, and they actually have subsidies secretly!
It’s so damn yin.
Seeing Allen's confusion, Patrice continued: "Master, this is the essence of subsidy films. They need to use movies as a publicity channel to slowly change their culture, or..."
Last month, he was filming during the day and personally coaching Meryl's acting skills at night. How could he have time to care about whether a corrupt Hong Kong governor was dead or not?!
Huh? Wait a minute
Allen suddenly realized that it was a good thing that there was no Hong Kong governor now.
Now if he is asked to do this secretly, he will not be able to overcome this hurdle in his heart.
Looking at Patrice who looked confused, combined with the time, last month?
In this way, if I invest in five or six movies in a year, I can save almost one million pounds!
This is no longer small money.
"The governor is in charge! Sometimes, the country will send commissioners to assist in management."
Sure enough, having an old man in the family is like a treasure. As soon as this old guy Patrice came here, he revealed this secret to Allen.
Speaking of Xiangjiang, since that place is far away from Daying and is a special place with a governor, if he wants to go there and recruit people, he can directly contact the Hong Kong Governor, which is much more convenient than bringing people there directly.
"ah?"
Damn it
Allen's eyes widened slightly. This was the first time he heard about this thing.
Although Cantonese is considered one of the dialects, the area where Cantonese is distributed is limited.
"???"
"Okay. I understand this matter. Patrice, when you think about the problem in the future, don't think about it from the previous perspective. Let's talk about the subsidy film later. But in Xiangjiang, we can recruit some professionals in a while.
Talent, that’s right.”
It is so easy to then apply for a subsidy, falsely report accounts, and then apply for a subsidy of two to three hundred thousand pounds.
"There is no more Governor? Where has the Governor gone?"
“Who is the current governor of Hong Kong?”
But in his heart, he still had his own ideas. He used to want to wait until he had enough funds to go back and make some investments, build a factory or something, not to make more money, but to at least make some contributions.
If it were an ordinary film and television producer, how would he know these things?
"Then the direction you said we can take in the future is that you want me to go to Xiangjiang to make a movie? Make this so-called subsidized movie?"
His right hand formed a knife, and he made a chopping gesture downwards.
"Master, there is no Hong Kong governor in Hong Kong now."
What does this have to do with subsidies?
Allen was a little confused.
But there are too many people who have dealt with such things as cheating on subsidies. Once exposed, it will be a big loss for him!
"!!!"
"No, no, Master, you have misunderstood. I watched your film and found that the production team is very rough, but Hong Kong is full of film talents. If you need it, you can recruit a group of people there and then invest in a film and television project.
Project, if you manipulate the accounts, with your status, you will definitely be able to apply for a large amount of subsidy funds."
"Just like the English spoken by Americans, and the English spoken by us, the pronunciation of many phrases is different. This is deliberately caused by the Americans. This is to create distance and create artificial barriers."
Allen didn't expect that the little old man in front of him had such a dark heart.
Isn't this just deliberately creating regional barriers?
"Who is responsible for this in each region?"
At that time, he would rather engage in a black duck plan. Although such a plan may not be on the table, at least it is a serious business!
Secondly
In Patrice's view, such a subsidy is not a small amount, but when it comes to Allen, he is a hereditary earl, and he needs to use this kind of deception to make money?
At this moment, Allen even wondered if he was in 1987 now.
first
Emotionally, he can't do it. Although he has not been back since time travel, as time goes by, his appearance becomes more and more in line with the thoughts of the British aristocracy.
Patrice watched Allen change from interested to uninterested in the blink of an eye. Before he understood what went wrong with his plan, he heard what Allen said next.
but
I am afraid that Tesla will be limited by his identity and perspective, so this can only be his personal idea.
Allen definitely can't do this.
"The above-mentioned films that create differences in language or cultural concepts in various places are to safeguard our local rule and regional stability. Such films are considered subsidized films and have no clear purpose.
It’s a title, but secretly, there are subsidies!”
That's probably what it means.
According to his operating model, he went to Xiangjiang to recruit a few teams and invested about 100,000 pounds to make a so-called subsidized film.
Patrice raised his eyebrows and said: "As long as the language barrier is slowly formed, it will not happen overnight if we want to get closer. Once a tradition is formed, it will be difficult to change it!"
"!!!"
I underestimated you, Patrice.
"The Governor of Hong Kong died of illness last month. The Queen has not yet issued an edict for the new Governor of Hong Kong, so it is currently vacant. Don't you know?"
Although I don’t want to work on subsidy films.
But he can work hard in other aspects. How can he make money without making money?
The appointment of the new Hong Kong Governor will not take too long. With Great Britain's work efficiency, it can be delayed by three or four months?
In other words, the new Governor of Hong Kong will appear in April at the latest. When a new governor takes office in a region, he will definitely need to deal with a lot of relationships and things. In other words, if the prestige is unstable, there will be many changes.
.
But what if Allen personally went to give a platform to this unknown new governor?
By then, his new movie will almost be released, and domestic public opinion will be somewhat critical. He can take the opportunity to go out and hide, just like going on a trip.
A hereditary earl from the British mainland personally supported the Hong Kong Governor. Even if he had no rights, as long as Allen appeared in Hong Kong, he could help the new Hong Kong Governor solve many invisible troubles.
After helping you so much, it makes sense for me, Alan, to make a few pounds along the way, right?
