Chapter 103 Confession and Leniency~
On January 93, 1, the inland "Tax Collection and Management Law" was officially implemented.

At this time, Xia Tian, ​​who was in Hong Kong, was trying the Six-Syllable Mantra.

First, recite it silently and quietly feel the changes - there is something different, as if something is filling the surroundings and attaching to the surrounding objects or people.

Like a smell? Or a heat? A glow?
That kind of thing is indescribable because it is not one of the five senses, but the sixth sense!
It was perceived by the sixth sense brought by Xia Tian's 17-point perception attribute.

The last time I had such a strong "sixth sense" was when I went to the United States at the end of 91.

At that time, the hotel that little Pai Luo found was a "century-old hotel". In the summer, he felt uncomfortable even if he was only a few dozen meters away from it. Something was very wrong.

After asking someone, I found out that this was the site of several famous unsolved wrongful convictions.

Then there's the summer when I see antiques I've "dug" out of the ground, and I feel a sense of disgust, especially when they're freshly unearthed.

So he basically doesn't touch funerary objects.

But now this feeling is completely the opposite, making people feel peaceful and warm, relaxed and quiet, and comfortable all over!

Like taking a hot bath in your sleep?

Then I tried chanting again in the summer, and the effect was even more obvious.

Moreover, Xia Tian felt that when he chanted, he could control this "thing" to a certain extent and attach it to someone or something.

Similar to "blessing"?
But time is limited, and like hot water slowly cooling down, it will gradually dissipate. However, there will always be a little "residue" left...

Then comes writing. Xia Tian doesn't have any brushes or rice paper here, and he doesn't write calligraphy very often in Hong Kong.

But here we have oil painting canvases, brushes, paints and so on.

Xia Tian picked a golden color to blend, and then wrote "Om Mani Padme Hum~" on a long canvas.

This time the feeling has changed again, as if this "word" will continuously emanate a sense of peace.

This is much more lasting than the "blessing" you receive by silently reciting or chanting.

"Okay! Let's hang this calligraphy in the hall. I'll buy a frame for it tomorrow..."

I plan to put the calligraphy next to a few paintings in the summer as decoration for my house.
Although I don't know how effective this "blessing" is, but even a little bit is better than nothing~
"Stop studying and eat~" Sister Yun called him over to eat.

Xia Tian walked over and stared at the "words" and said, "Don't move this calligraphy from now on. Just hang it on that wall."

That place is right in front of the door and is a feng shui location, so it can be used to ward off evil spirits.

……

However, just as they were enjoying a wonderful dinner in the summer, they were planning to have some deep spiritual and physical communication.

Something happened in Hong Kong!

There is an L-shaped street in Central, which is a mid- to high-end consumption area with bars and restaurants of all sizes. It is called Lan Kwai Fong.

The name is derived from the meaning of "the fragrance of orchid and osmanthus" - which comes from "Youxue Qionglin" by Cheng Dengji in the Ming Dynasty, and is a metaphor for descendants being noble and famous.

It is a famous nightlife area.

But tonight on New Year's Eve, there was a T-stepping accident...

They didn't know about this in the summer and were concentrating on in-depth discussions. They only found out about it when they read the newspaper the next day.

The newspaper said 21 people were killed and 62 were injured...

This isn't a good start to the year.

I spent a few days "resting" in Hong Kong this summer, mainly studying the Six-Syllable Mantra - I also gave Mei Gu and A Rong some jewelry engraved with the Six-Syllable Mantra, and then flew back to Yanjing.

This time he will return to Yanjing first, and then after a while, Sister Yun, Wang Fei and Aying will all go to Yanjing.

I mentioned "civilian exchanges" before - everyone goes there in the summer, so some people have to come here too.

And Sister Yun is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate.

She and Wang Fei are going to be on this year's Spring Festival Gala...

When Xia Tian thought about the scene of Milan, Sister Yun and the other six people meeting on the plane, his scalp went numb!
The ultimate Shura field!

Xia Tian: Huh~ Mr. Mi, it’s up to you!

……

Xia Tian landed at the Capital Airport, and Brother Yong and bodyguard Xiao Chen were already waiting in the car.

Xiao Chen was driving, Brother Yong was sitting in the passenger seat, and handed Xia Tian a stack of newspapers in the back seat, which were several newspapers for today.

Xia Tian casually flipped through the articles and found some discussing tax law, some discussing business development, and some discussing the efficiency of state-owned enterprises...

And one of the messages is more related to summer.

Yesterday, January 1, the Ministry of Finance issued a notice on "Several Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Film Industry Mechanism at Present", announcing 5 important decisions that will have a far-reaching impact on the Chinese film industry.

Xia Tian took a quick look at the list, which included: in principle, liberalizing movie ticket prices, reducing staffing, actively participating in cable TV film supply, strengthening the production of videotapes and VCDs, and gradually abolishing the unified purchase and sale policy. The first few items, such as movie ticket prices, were not very important.

The current ticket price has increased from 50 cents to 1 yuan ten years ago to 3 or 4 yuan.

For example, the ticket price for last year's "Farewell My Concubine" in mainland China was only 4 yuan.

However, prices have risen sharply in recent years, and ticket prices have not kept pace, making the entire system very profitable.

Moreover, the mainland film industry has begun to decline in recent years, with the total box office declining year by year.

That’s why we had this G change - no matter when, G changes will only happen when we are forced into a desperate situation.

As for reducing the staff, that's impossible. How can you reduce it these days? Who are you going to fire?
However, the strengthening of VCD production may have something to do with Xia Tian, ​​and we need to contact more relevant agencies on this matter.

As the absolute leader in VCD players in the mainland, it must actively respond to policies. At the end of last year, Weixidi Company finalized several contracts to provide decoding chips and integrated circuit boards to other factories. Now three new VCD player brands have been established and they plan to start formal production and sales this year.

The final, gradual abolition of unified purchase and sale is the most significant change.

The mainland film market has begun to shrink, which has a lot to do with this model of just shooting without buying - there are indicators for shooting movies, and they are sold directly to China Film after shooting, and the box office does not matter.

This model was very necessary in the past, but its drawbacks are gradually becoming apparent now.

The so-called "If you renew yourself every day, you will renew yourself day by day."

There is no eternal system in this world. The only constant is change itself.

So, now the higher-ups are planning to make some changes.

In fact, Xia Tian knew this matter very clearly because he was the one pushing it behind the scenes.

At Xia Tian's suggestion, Han San Ge made several suggestions to China Film Group and went to meet with his superiors with his leaders. Now he has been transferred from Emei Film Studio to Beijing Film Studio as director.

Many of these points were proposed by Xia Tian after discussing with him.

Now that we have entered the market economy, the cultural industry must also change.

The unified purchase and sale system will be gradually abolished, that is, it was announced that from this year onwards, domestic feature films will no longer be distributed by China Film Corporation, but will instead be distributed and screened directly to the film market by the film studios themselves.

In one word - be responsible for your own profits and losses!
Films that were previously distributed uniformly by China Film Corporation will now be negotiated directly between each studio and local distribution unit.

Imported films are uniformly distributed by China Film Corporation to companies in provinces, cities and autonomous regions.

This is also the "monopoly" of imported films that has been criticized ever since.

Xia Tian couldn't help but laugh when he saw the article in the newspaper.

Sure enough, this matter was indispensable in the discussion.

In fact, the factories had no problem with being responsible for their own profits and losses - after all, in the past they felt that the superiors were too controlling, and sometimes the indicators were not enough.

Now that I'm responsible for my own profits and losses, I have more power in my hands. How can I not be dissatisfied?
However, some regions have complaints about the fact that imported films are firmly controlled by China Film Group Corporation... Well, let me be frank, it's Shanghai!

Naturally, the only institution in the country that can compete with Yanjing is Shanghai.

The country of Shanghai has its own national conditions and its own ideas.

But if you have some ideas, you should keep them to yourself and never give them this right.

Otherwise, everyone has to "magicize" in advance~
However, although the various studios are excited and eager to make a big move, what awaits them is probably being beaten up.
In the past, the authorities allocated funds for film production according to the annual plans of each studio, but in the future, no one will give money anymore.

In the future, they will have to learn to survive in the market by making their own plans, raising their own funds, and being responsible for their own profits and losses.

Of course, the higher-ups still gave the film studios some loopholes and left them a way out, allowing them to use co-productions to attract private capital and Hong Kong and Taiwan capital into film production.

This led to the popularity of Hong Kong and Taiwan co-productions.

In the original time and space, many of Li Lianjie's films were co-produced with Yanjing at this time - in 93 alone, three of the four studios of Yanjing Film Studio were shooting Hong Kong action movies starring him.

In contrast, state-owned film studios, which had no experience in surviving in the market, were almost on the verge of running out of money.

Typical I can do it too~
……

After returning home, Xia Tian was warmly welcomed.

Milan and the other two did not go to work and were waiting at home.

Xia Tian hugged and kissed each of them, and took out all the gifts he had brought and presented them to them.

However, the three of them were not so easily fooled.

Xiao Xu held a jade plaque in his palm against the sunlight coming through the window, muttering to himself, "If someone is being too attentive without any reason, they are either a traitor or a thief. He's being so attentive, could he have done something to wrong us?"

Zhang Li also put down the gold bracelet in her hand. She had already discovered the six-syllable mantra engraved inside the bracelet.

She glanced at Xia Tian and said with a smile, "Could it be that he met another beautiful woman who made his heart flutter? But which female celebrity on the island?"

Xiao Xu stared at Xia Tian and asked, "Could it be Xiao Qiang?"
