Chapter 461: Far Bark
In mid-February, the first message was released:
Shanghai Yongle Film Company signed an agreement with Beijing Film Studio and Qingying Studio to obtain the local distribution rights of the two films "The Lion King" and "The Great Satan".
This is the first reform practice since the abolition of unified purchasing and sales, and it can be called a 'breakthrough in Shanghai'.
It is reported that "The Lion King" is expected to be scheduled for April, and director Tsui Hark and some of the main creators will be invited to come and meet with the audience and friends.
Wu Mengchen, the CEO of Yongle Company, revealed that in order to further expand the film source market, the company will adopt a variety of ways to release fish into the water.
At present, it is in contact with the Fujian Provincial Studio "The Legend of Shaolin Heroes", and a preliminary agreement has been reached to buy out the distribution with 350,000 yuan. ”
Rumble!
As soon as the news came out, the film industry shook.
No one expected that the new deal would be released in such a short period of time, and Leader Tian would find a breakthrough, and there were two parts to talk about.
Especially "The Lion King", the box office will definitely not be low, if the Beijing Film Studio, distribution, and theaters benefit from the tripart, it means that the reform is no longer a paper document, but implemented.
For a time, the studios were boiling, and the provincial companies on the sidelines were restless.
"Wu Mengchen wants to cut off our roots!"
"Ask for merit and reward, shameless!"
"Shall we reach out?"
"Let's wait, I don't believe that any other place is so bold!"
"Light and magic are useless in one place!"
......
"Don't worry, no problem. They came over the other day and didn't talk. ”
"I don't know, okay, feel free to contact. ”
Su Provincial Company, Yang Qingfeng put down the phone, his face gloomy.
Last week, Cheng Zhigu and Xu Fei came to visit and talked for a few days, but they wanted to delay it again. As a result, the two suddenly said goodbye without saying goodbye and disappeared.
They are now like two bombs, causing panic everywhere they go. This year, unlike later generations, it is difficult to find someone, and the news is actually cut off.
"Lao Yang, do you think they will go down to the city?"
"It's possible, but it's okay to go down, the city has to be careful about what we think. ”
Yang Qingfeng was quite calm, and said: "The meaning of Document No. 3 is to stabilize the provincial company, and we still occupy the ...... at present."
"Boom!"
One person slammed the door open, panting, "Yang, Mr. Yang!"
"Where are they?"
"No, not somewhere......"
The man gasped a few times, "The people have finished talking, newspapers, newspapers ......"
"It's coming! It's coming!"
Another person, almost holding a newspaper, ran into the house, "The news is all on the page!"
Yang Qingfeng swished up and grabbed a look, and it was a local newspaper of Blue Whale:
A few days ago, the four cities of Blue Whale, Wuxi, Suzhou, and Nantong jointly signed an agreement with Beijing Film Studio and Qingying Studio to distribute "The Lion King" and "The Great Satan" in the 4 cities in the form of sharing and guaranteeing.
It is reported that the two film studios are communicating with the producers association, intending to facilitate the signing of film distribution rights licensing agreements between 16 studios and four cities across the country. If this is achieved, the studios will no longer supply films to the provincial companies and will directly distribute domestic films to the four cities......"
Syllable!
Yang Qingfeng directly slammed the cup, angry and incredulous, "Who gave them the right? How dare they bypass me to do things?!"
“......”
The subordinates hung their heads and said nothing.
Yang Qingfeng lost his temper and slowly calmed down. He does have talent, otherwise he would not have become a model in the industry, watching the reform break the ice and quickly remedy.
"Are you sure there are only these four cities?"
"It's determined at the moment. ”
"Hmph! It seems that they plan to form a consortium and leave us alone! You immediately contact the seven cities of Xu, Yang, Huai, Yan, Zhen, Lian, and Chang, and ask the managers to come. ”
"Do you want to form another consortium?"
"It's not too late. ”
"Distributable ......"
So far, we can only make profits, and we have taken the initiative to contact the studio, saying that we are very sincere in buying films. It is best to negotiate, and if it can't be negotiated, it can stop them. ”
"Understood!"
......
A few days after the "Shanghai breakthrough", there was another "Jiangsu breakthrough", although it was partial.
I said that I would wait again, but I panicked all of a sudden, and an atmosphere of boiling and obscurity quickly enveloped the film industry.
The essence of it: in the past, it was a monopoly of China Film, but now that China Film has withdrawn, it is natural for provincial companies to want to monopolize themselves.
Some of the unresolute ones began to twist and pinch and take the initiative to negotiate, while the other part of the stubborn ones also began to use all means to fight to the end.
And in this environment, Xu Fei and Cheng Zhigu did not continue to develop, and quietly returned to the capital.
"Bang bang bang!"
As soon as the two of them entered the office, they saw Leader Tian slapping the table hard, and his face was flushed with anger, "The radio and television documents have been issued, and it is ridiculous to openly disobey the orders of the central government!"
"What's going on?"
"See for yourselves!"
Xu Fei took a look at it inexplicably, but he was speechless.
"The cultural department of a certain province and a certain province issued a document, requiring distribution and screening units at all levels in the province to focus on the film industry in their own provinces, cooperate more with their own studios, and show less or no films from studios in other provinces. ”
"The leader of a certain province made a speech and asked companies at all levels in the province not to directly talk to the studio about film distribution. ”
“......”
After reading it, he and Cheng Zhigu glanced at each other, and at the same time two words came out: Absolutely!
Companies at all levels belong to the cultural department, so some go to the cultural department, and some directly ask the competent leaders to adhere to local protection and local monopoly.
"Knock knock!"
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door twice, and people came in by themselves.
The servants all stood up, "Minister Ai!"
Oda ...... Lao Cheng and Xiao Xu are also there? That's right. ”
The person who came was the biggest leader of radio and television, and the deputy station and Li Mu took Xu Fei to visit him, and he also talked about the "Desire" symposium.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I said, you have offended a lot of people! The complaint has been sued to xxx, and it was just transferred to me, you can take a look. ”
When Tian saw it, it was actually a joint letter from three provincial companies, resisting the reform under various groundless pretexts.
"Minister Ai, this ......"
"Hey, don't worry, Comrade XX and I are supportive. ”
After a few words, the family left.
Teacher Xu was dumbfounded, how can a special mother be like this? The local unit is also awesome!!
And Leader Tian calmed down, didn't think about those bad things, and said: "Lao Cheng, Xiao Xu, you have made a great contribution to this trip." If there is no breakthrough in the two places one after another, I don't know how long it will take.
But as you can see, there are still a lot of diehards, and the local protection is serious. ”
He shook the document and sighed, "I'm afraid you won't even be able to get in the door." ”
"That's right, I studied it with the old factory director. There are 11 poor provinces and regions in the country, and we let them buy them out at a price of 50,000 yuan, and we will pay the copy fee, which is equivalent to giving it away for nothing.
And then I just looked at the boycotts, about seven or eight, but we still have a small half of the areas to fight for. Xu Fei said.
"Yes, it's important to talk about it in the major coastal areas. ”
Cheng Zhigu continued, "Even if we can't talk about it at the provincial level, we will target large and medium-sized cities." I have a deep understanding when I go to Suzhou Province, and now the prefecture-level cities are quite powerful, and there is no problem with joint issuance. ”
"Zhejiang Province and Guangdong Province are all big households, and there are Qilu ......"
"Qilu will let it go first, their provincial company owes the most issuance fees, and I have other plans. ”
Leader Tian was very pleased and said: "In this way, "The Lion King" will be released in more than a month, and I will participate in it when the time comes, and I will catch it all the way." Leave the resistance faction alone, the central government supports it, and it is useless to shout, and our reform is not yet over. ”
"So what do you ...... next?"
"There are not only these 16 studios in the country, but also so many units that have more difficulties in surviving, as well as the problem of rural screening, as well as imported films, and so on.
I'm currently talking to Xinying and preparing to turn them into CCTV. ”
The Central News Documentary Film Studio, or New Film for short, specializes in producing documentaries that are shown in theaters. One can imagine how poor their effectiveness is.
"Xinying can't sell films at all now, but there are some interested viewers who can't see it. I wondered if I could turn a movie into a TV format.
If it is assigned to CCTV, a production center can be set up. The employees of Xinying have a place to go, and CCTV has also enriched the content, killing two birds with one stone.
Now that the situation has taken shape, you can talk about it when you need to, and don't worry about anything else. I'm going to go to the United States recently to investigate a section, and I heard that the utilization rate of movies there is very high, do you know?"
"Somewhat understood. They can peel off several layers of skin for a movie, and after the theater comes down, they can also sell it to closed-circuit television, open circuit television, and distribute videotapes, etc. ”
"Yes, that's it, I think we need to learn. When our technology is mature, we can completely run a TV station or channel that specializes in movies. ”
Leader Tian is very confident.
“......”
For a moment, Mr. Xu really thought that the other party was reborn.
The reason why this person has been recorded in the history of Chinese film and is missed by countless colleagues is because he laid the foundation of the entire film industry and let everyone really see the dawn for a period of time.
"By the way, Minister Tian, I have something to ask for. ”
"You speak. ”
"You know that I have run this magazine and want to use this reform process as the inaugural issue, do you think it's okay?"
"Yes. This kind of thing will definitely make a fuss, and I can rest assured that you can do it. ”
"When are you free and I want to do an interview?"
Well?
Leader Tian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "You are a little bit, it's okay, you can do it at any time." ”
(The small group is out again...... )
