"Mr. Wu is early!"

"Mr. Wu is good!"

On the morning of November, cloudy, Wu Mengchen walked into the China Film Compound wrapped in frost, with a hint of melancholy on his white and fat face.

I didn't go upstairs, but I found someone to explain my work, "I'll go to the XX department, call me if I have something." ”

"Okay. ”

He immediately went out and got into the car and ran to West Chang'an Street.

Close to the red wall, next to the right side of the house, there is a compound, the vehicle is checked at the door, and the certificate is slowly driven in. Wu Mengchen came to an office, waited for a while, and finally saw the leader, surnamed Ding.

"I had a meeting just now, sit down, what do you drink?"

"Tea is fine. ”

"Xiao Wu is from Shanghai, right? Make some green tea, I like to drink black tea. ”

The leader poured tea with his own hands, sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "I have heard of your name, but I have never had a chance to talk." You are a smart person, and I don't beat around the bush, mainly in recent times, I have received a lot of feedback below, and I want to hear what you have to say. ”

"Well, I don't know where to start. ”

"Then start with the reform, I just have a brush. ”

"Okay. ”

Wu Mengchen pondered for a while and said: "The main purpose of film reform is to turn the planned economy into a market economy. In fact, just like the reform of state-owned enterprises and factories, their problems and difficulties are similar to us, and there is nothing mysterious.

Since 1993, we have successively canceled the overall purchase and co-ordination, broken the monopoly of provincial companies, relaxed shooting qualifications, merged New Film and CCTV, took over Children's Film by China Film, and introduced ten foreign films.

In the past, the distribution and screening were chaotic, and the rights and responsibilities were unclear. We handed over the distribution rights to the studios, and the theaters the selection of screenings, and the next step was to take back the management rights, that is, to take the studios back from the cultural port to the broadcast system.

In this way, the rights and responsibilities are clear and the relationship is clear, which helps to catalyze the market. ”

"Well, go ahead. The leader nodded.

"The so-called film marketization simply means to let more people make movies, more people show movies, and more people watch movies.

Our current step is to gradually liberalize the filming qualifications, and then the distribution and screening qualifications. Let all walks of life capital participate, you can set up a distribution company and set up a theater chain. ”

"Tell me about the introduction of films. ”

"The introduction of films is mainly to stimulate the market, broaden horizons, and stimulate domestic literary and artistic workers to improve and progress. ”

"The original intention is good, but there are many problems. ”

The leader held a cigarette and said, "You are thinking too one-sidedly and not taking into account the practical difficulties. This year, it is expected to produce 146 feature films, but they are all occupied by these films, what "Red Fan Zone" and "True Lies".

The studio invested money, but they couldn't even recover the cost, and their life was already difficult, and if you do this, it will make it even worse. ”

"But we don't have no good films, the sun is shining more than 60 million, and two more are breaking 40 million. We can make our own blockbusters!"

Wu Mengchen was a little excited.

"I know, I know, it's not like I haven't examined ......"

The leader signaled him to calm down and said seriously: "The studio generally reflects that the filming funds are difficult and the administrative burden is too heavy. Like Changying Studio, there are many employees and retirees, and they are all old comrades.

If you invest 1 million in filming, you will have to take 400,000 administrative expenses. You say that in such a situation, how can you make a blockbuster?"

"So we're liberalizing qualifications and encouraging studios and private enterprises to cooperate. There are also theater ......"

The cinema line is what Wu Mengchen wants to do the most, and said: "Multiplex theaters must be the standard configuration in the future, now one hall, one film, if there are seven halls, you can put seven films."

There is nowhere to show the studio's films, so it would be nice if we expanded the platform, and more than a hundred films a year can be fully loaded. ”

"No, no, you're fundamentally wrong. ”

The leader obviously disagreed, and said: "Xiao Wu, how did the chief emphasize at the meeting? Leading cadres must stress politics.

No wonder some people say that your businessman habits are too heavy! Carry forward the main theme and advocate diversification, and this is the general tone of the Ninth Five-Year Plan period.

The studio has made great contributions in the past, and we can't give up easily, we must encourage and help them make more good works, especially excellent works that carry forward the main theme. ”

"But the cinema chain is really the focus of reform......

"Hey, even if you build the theater chain, the introduction of films is still conquering, and the studio is still losing money, so what do you say?"

"This is the audience's choice, can we force the audience to like anything? And the reform is not overnight, it is bound to go through labor pains, and when we slowly accumulate it, we will definitely be able to catch up." ”

"So, the roots are still in their own homes. Protect domestic films and improve quality, so it doesn't conflict with what you said!"

The leader stopped him and said, "Okay, our primary goal is to produce more movies with the main theme and reduce the burden on the studio." With policy support, output and quality will naturally come up.

That's all for today, you go back first, it's better to study the spirit of the meeting, and talk about politics. ”

“......”

Wu Mengchen somehow walked out of the office, and when he got outside, he exhaled a breath of white air, and the sun had not yet come out.

"Go to the radio and television. ”

He commanded, and the vehicle drove out of the compound and came to Radio and Television again.

Seeing Leader Tian and talking about the matter, Leader Tian was also excited, and said: "I also talked to the leader once, and I don't agree with his thoughts.

As long as there is film reform, anyone will have to change it like this, unless it is not reformed!

There are also those who use the topic to play, although the imported films are popular, the number of audiences and the box office of domestic films have also increased?

Of course I know the difficulties of the studios, but don't they also introduce policies for them to slowly transform? Isn't there also a next step in the policy to continue to promote......

vented, "Xiao Wu, you go back first, and then I'll have an in-depth chat with him." ”

"Good. ”

......

The film industry has suddenly changed, and there are countless rumors.

It is said that Leader Tian and Leader Ding had several long talks, but they did not reach an agreement, and they slapped the table on the spot.

It is said that Wu Mengchen was called to give several lectures, and he was disgraced, and his measures were completely denied by the superiors.

"Drama and Film News" published "Where is the road for Hollywood Films to seize the beach in a big way?" and carried out a series of blames and criticisms.

The report letter and suggestion letter flew into the XX part like a snowflake, all of which were played by borrowing the topic, rendering the difficult situation of domestic feature films.

This statement easily received a lot of support, and for a while, all the spearheads were pointed at Wu Mengchen.

Clearly refers to him, but actually refers to Minister Tian behind him.

One day not long after, Wu Mengchen was called to the XX department again.

The leader didn't say anything more, only handed over some letters, and the words were shocking:

"Let American films occupy our market, and use Chinese ticket money to feed foreign filmmakers. Excuse me, is such a person a newborn foreign comprador or not?"

"It's time for life and death, and imported blockbusters will bring disaster to national films!"

“......”

Murder and heart, but that's it. Wu Mengchen didn't say anything, sat on the sofa and waited silently.

After that, the leader of Aida also came, and after reading the letter, he said: "The introduction of the film cannot be abolished, we are applying to join the WTO, and this must be one of the contents." ”

"I know. We've talked about this many times, and I'm sticking to my thoughts. ”

The leader nodded and said: "After the Spring Festival next year, I will hold a film work conference, and I will personally grasp the preparatory work, and some policies will be announced at that time."

Okay, let's not go out beforehand. ”
