Night, suite.

Leader Tian sat on the sofa in the small living room, looking through a document by the light that was not too bright. It is densely packed with a list of films that have been filmed in the past year, but have not been released.

He looked at it for a while, picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Hey, Lao Cheng, come over here." ”

Not long after, a man knocked on the door and entered the house, but it was the director of the Beijing Film Studio, called Cheng Zhigu.

The two are familiar with each other, and they are not polite, so Leader Tian asked: "Lao Cheng, how are the preparations for "The Lion King"?"

"Everything is going well, filming will start soon. ”

"How long?"

"For a month or two, Hong Kong people are fast at making movies, but Tsui Hark is slow. They are also released quickly, and after filming this month, they will be released next month. ”

"One or two months ......"

Leader Tian pondered and said, "That is, it will be released early next year." What do you estimate the quality?"

"Good, sure!"

Cheng Zhigu said bluntly, "I heard Wu Siyuan tell me about this theme, and then I looked at those preparations and props, I felt good." And the Wong Fei Hung series is guaranteed, and Tsui Hark has never missed it. ”

In the mid-80s, the Hong Kong film delegation came to the mainland once, headed by Xu Guanwen and deputy head Wu Siyuan. Discussions with the competent authorities in the mainland have since started relatively frequent cooperation.

"The Lion King" is one of them, and the partner is Beijing Film Studio.

Leader Tian learned some about the situation, sent Cheng Zhigu away, and continued to look through the information. looked at it and suddenly frowned, stopped in one place, and then made another call.

After a while, Li Ning, the director of Qingying Studio, came in.

"Xiao Li, sit down. ”

Leader Tian pointed to a list and asked, "What's going on with this "The Great Satan"? Xu Fei is the producer?"

Qingying Factory is a place used by Nortel teachers and students for internship, and there is no production task, so it is a factory logo at a glance. Li Ning didn't hide it, and told the story again.

"How much to invest?"

"That's 1.4 million. ”

"How much?"

"One million and four hundred thousand. ”

"He invests alone?"

"It should be. ”

Li Ning observed the other party's expression and explained: "Before Xiao Xu left, he was in business, and after he left, I heard that he had started several more companies, and he was very strong financially. ”

Well?

Leader Tian was surprised, he really didn't pay attention to this, and paused: "This movie was filmed at the beginning of the year, why hasn't it been released yet?"

"At the beginning, I said that I wanted to pursue the standard, and then I did it for a few months. You know, after we finish filming, we have to invite people from China Film to come and organize a viewing party.

Xia Gang and I reminded me a few times, but Xiao Xu didn't care about it, so he kept putting it on hold anyway. When the news of the reform came out, we talked again, and he said that he would wait to see the results. ”

“......”

Leader Tian pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think of this person, I mean in film and television." ”

mentioned this, Li Ningte had something to say: "Well, I know all TV dramas." My strange thing is that he has never been in the film industry, but he is very knowledgeable.

He doesn't understand some of our internal regulations, but Hong Kong, Taiwan, overseas stars, and film companies are talking about the truth. ”

At the end, he also emphasized, "No exaggeration!"

............

"Tango is tango and tango walking, three steps and one inch......"

"What's the inch? That's called three steps and one run, two, two turns, ......."

In the bedroom, the old lady pulled Xu Fei away and went into battle in person, "Five steps to the waist, six steps to beckon, and then you tango and tango away, this is called tango!"

"Hahaha!"

Yu Jiajia and Ding Jiali laughed stupidly, slapped the table and said, "Ouch, ouch, your demeanor has not diminished, it's a pity not to go to the Spring Festival Gala this year." ”

"I can't get up, my body can't go. ”

Zhao's mother returned to the bed and gasped: "After filming "New Year", I was seriously ill, and I fell into emphysema, and I was more tired to do some work. Last year, the Spring Festival Gala was busy for half a year, and the pressure was great, waiting for me to obliquely. ”

"Yo, you're tired, you still make movies, give a lot of money?" Xu Fei said with a smile.

"Hey, you say you kid ......"

The old lady was a little anxious, and pointed to him and said: "Sha called to give money to take it? The difference is the gongfu ↗, the Spring Festival Gala is busy for half a year, and the movie is two months...... Just your mouth, your mouth ......"

"Okay, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'll pay you compensation. ”

Teacher Xu bowed, and the old lady sat cross-legged and turned her head away.

This movie is Chen Xiaoer's "Filial Sons and Grandsons Waiting", which also includes Ding Jiali, who plays her daughter.

In the original script, the protagonist is an old man, prepared for Chen Qiang. Chen Qiang has been in poor health in recent years, and he still insists on acting, but Chen Xiaoer changed to an old lady as soon as he had an idea.

The old lady of the special mother is not in good health!

This film is still amusing to watch now. Especially at the climax, the old lady jumped out of the coffin and beat the current N comedies.

"Knock knock!"

A room full of people was happy, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, and when I opened it, it was Li Ning.

Xu Fei went outside to chat for a few words, and came back to put on his coat, "I'll go out, Minister Tian is looking for me." ”

"What are you looking for?" Yu Jiajia bulingbuling flashed with gossip.

"Ask something, and I'll be here in a minute. ”

The two of them walked down the long corridor, greeting a colleague from time to time, taking the elevator upstairs and knocking on a certain door.

"Xiao Xu is here, sit down. ”

Leader Tian didn't talk nonsense as usual, and said with a smile: "Listen to Xiao Li, you know a lot about foreign film systems, and there are some things you want to ask." ”

"Oh, don't you dare, just ask. ”

"How much do you know about box office sharing?"

"Uh......"

Xu Fei organized the language a little and said: "This is more complicated, the environment is different in different places, and the system is also different. For example, in the United States, since the rise of Hollywood, big film companies are the leaders, occupying a dominant position in all aspects.

Their account sharing is stepped.

80% or 90% of the box office of a movie's premiere week belongs to the filmmaker, and the revenue of the theater chain mainly comes from popcorn and drinks.

In the weeks that follow, this ratio will change. Usually in the fourth week, the film share drops to 50% and the theater rises to 48%.

Therefore, the United States attaches great importance to premiere week, and for this reason, a supporting industry has been derived, publicity.

For example, a low-budget bad movie, if the promotion is creative, the audience will be fooled in the first week. Even if it dives in a straight line in the second week, that piece will earn.

Therefore, the cost of a film in the United States consists of two parts: production costs and publicity costs. ”

"Isn't it very difficult for the theater to survive?" asked Leader Tian.

"Yes, the current situation is that the big film companies are over-squeezing the theater chain. It's okay to hold on, but if you can't hold on, you can only go out of business, and the system may change at that time.

After all, no matter how well the movie is made, it is useless to have no theaters. ”

"What about the rest of the region?" Li Ning was also in high spirits.

"Another example is Hong Kong, where the environment is even more special. They are owned by big movie companies and have their own cinema chains.

Like in the early 80s, there were three cinema lines: Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and Golden Princess, and in 85 Shaw Brothers withdrew, Pan Disheng established Debao, and in 87 Chen Rongmei established Xinbao.

The big boss of the film side and the theater chain is a person, with his left hand and his right hand......"

Joke!

Mr. Xu is a senior lover of entertainment literature, and he did this in his previous life.

He knew the other party's intentions, slowed down, and said, "If you talk about China, I also have a little immature opinion. In the current environment, it is not possible to make detailed provisions for account sharing.

I suggest openness and freedom of play.

When a movie is released, first of all, how much the theater will take, this is a big account.

The rest of the money is divided between the producer and the distributor, which is a small split in a variety of ways. For example, if I have a movie and hand it over to a distribution company, no matter what you do, I only need a percentage of the profit.

Or if we sign a guarantee, if the box office does not reach 1 million, 37 points, and the part that exceeds 1 million points is 46 points.

Or you can just give me 1 million, and divide the excess into it.

There is no way to unify these methods, as long as both parties abide by the contract, they can be divided in any way. ”

“......”

Leader Tian listened very carefully and said: "You are talking about production, distribution, and screening, but in fact, we still have two, China Film and Copy Printing Factory. Five got it together ......"

He didn't continue, and said with a smile: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, and you will gain a lot." ”

"You have won the award, I am also a literary and artistic worker who loves movies, and I am willing to contribute my modest efforts. ”

After sitting for a while, Xu Fei and Li Ning said goodbye.

When he was about to go out, he turned around and met the gaze of Leader Tian, his eyes touched, and he had his own thoughts.

(And ...... ）
