April in the magic capital has already warmed up, but the rainy season lingers and is annoying.

Early this morning, there was a long queue at the door of the Great Light Cinema. Most of them are young people, holding umbrellas and talking and laughing in the drizzle, and the little couples are not shy to hold hands and hug.

"Is "The Lion King" good?"

"It's good-looking, Huang Feihong! The one I watched in the video hall one day. ”

"Then why don't you go to the video hall? Movie tickets have gone up. ”

"I heard that a Hong Kong star is coming today, is Jet Li coming?"

"It was Guan Zhilin. ”

It's bustling outside, but it's quiet inside.

In the lounge of the theater, Leader Tian was chatting with Wu Mengchen and Wu Siyuan, Guan Damei was accompanied, and Xu Laowei was dragged by Shi Nansheng and forcibly participated.

Today, "The Lion King" premiered in the mainland, and Wu Siyuan took a few people to cheer on the stage. It was said that it took a lot of work, but he didn't know and wasn't interested.

The film system in the mainland is too rigid, and you have to talk to the leaders about everything. He doesn't understand, why do you have to talk to the leader to make a movie?

In another twenty minutes, there's going to be a press conference, and then there's going to be a meet-and-greet with the audience, and then there's going to be a premiere.

Xu Lao Wei was bored and waiting, holding a teacup and touching around, and suddenly saw a few magazines on the table, so he got up and took a look at the cover:

At the heart are two movie posters. Wong Fei Hung is on the top left, posing in his signature starting pose, which is called "spreading hands and hanging horses". The other is in the lower right, where two actors stroll along Ginkgo Tree Street.

First of all, the tones are distinct, one is intense, and the other is cold. Secondly, the composition is ingenious, and the two movies are in such a row, like friends and foes.

In addition, a few lines are diagonally printed:

"Chinese Film Earthquake!"

"Exclusive Secrets!"

Interview with Leader XXX Tian: The first year of Chinese film reform. ”

""The Great Satan", "The Lion King", ice-breaking tasks!"

"Exclusive visit to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the years of burning passion. ”

The name of the magazine "New Film and Television" is printed on the top, and there is a big "inaugural issue"!

Xu Lao Wei was a little interested, and opened it casually, the first few pages were color pages, stills and shooting tidbits of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Happy Marriage", and "Addictive".

At the end, when I looked at the topic, I was stunned again.

Books and newspapers in these years were deeply influenced by the old era, with strange layouts, laborious reading, and vertical text was not uncommon. Even an article looked at it, and suddenly it was gone, inserting another article in the middle, and then connecting it below.

But this magazine, with clear layout and well-written paragraphs, has a very good first impression - just like reading an online article, encountering the kind of hundreds of words without paragraphs, no matter how good it is, you can't stand it.

"Exclusive Secret of Chinese Film Reform!"

Most of the simplified characters are recognized, and Xu Laowei tried to take a look, but he was relished at a glance. The article is not short, and it clearly explains the causes and consequences of Chinese films and the reform process, of course, it is too sensitive.

The style of writing is rigorous and calm, and it is lively and lively, and the author uses a pen name: sleeping will turn white.

"Director Xu?"

"Director Xu?"

Suddenly, Wu Mengchen greeted him, Shi Nansheng patted him, and he came back to his senses.

"I went to the press conference. ”

"Oooh. ”

Old Monster Xu stood up and shook the magazine, "Mr. Wu, can you give me this book?" ”

"Of course, we put it there for people to see. ”

Shi Nansheng is strange, take it and take a look, mainland magazines?

......

The film market, which had been deserted for three months, finally lit a fire in April.

Under the joint promotion of Beijing Film Studio and Yongle, the box office of "The Lion King" broke 1 million in the first week. Cheng Zhigu almost committed a heart attack, one million box office, 500,000 for distribution, 60%, 300,000 for himself.

300,000 is equivalent to selling 30 copies. And this is only the first week of the magic capital.

Immediately after, the exciting news kept coming out.

The four cities of Blue Whale, Suzhou, Wuxi and Nantong in Jiangsu Province officially signed contracts with 16 studios and established a "film service center" in Suzhou to act as an agent for the distribution of domestic films in the four cities.

The provincial company united with 7 other cities to establish a distribution alliance. At this point, the film market in Sioux Province was divided into two.

Other provinces crossed the river in bulk, raising prices to stabilize studios, and at the same time co-opting city and county companies to form an alliance of interests.

At the same time, Qingying Studio released the news: "The Great Satan" will premiere in the magic capital in June, and a premiere ceremony will be held at that time. A summary of the ceremony will be released in the next issue of "New Film and Television".

That's right, "New Film and Television".

With the release of "The Lion King" in various places, this magazine has also become popular for some reason. And it does not follow the usual path, and it is more popular within the system than outside the system.

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

""The Lion King" is off to a great start, and you have contributed a lot!"

In the hotel, Leader Tian replaced wine with tea and toasted Wu Mengchen.

Wu Mengchen hurriedly expressed his modesty and said: "Where, where is the film, the quality of the film is good, the publicity is in place, and the box office is naturally high." Thanks to everyone, I have only done a small job. ”

"What do you think of the final result of this film?"

"I originally estimated it to be 3 million, but now I look smaller. According to their algorithm, at the end of the first round, it will be around 4 million. After that, it will be dispersed to small theaters, and the second round can also collect 100-2 million. ”

In other words, the final box office will be 5 million to 6 million. In this way, the theater earns half of it, and the Beijing Film Studio makes a profit of more than one million, which is the volume of more than 100 copies in one place, which I couldn't think of before.

Hey, it's a lot thanks to you taking the initiative to make profits. ”

He admired the other party extremely much, and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Wu, what did you think about the matter I mentioned to you?"

"Minister Tian, I won't tell you anything. I have been working in the local area, and I was transferred to the capital to host China Film, and I am really afraid that I will not be able to do it. Moreover, my family is all in the local area, and it is not convenient to separate the two places. ”

"When employing people now, you have the talent, the ideas, and the idea of reform coincides with me. Zhongying needs to be reorganized, and you are the leader. You think about it again. ”

"Okay. ”

Wu Mengchen saw that the other party insisted, so he had no choice but to respond.

The magic capital is an important film town, with 28 major screening units in the city alone, and the density of theaters is extremely high.

Huang Feihong took the lead first, and Leader Tian was happy and said: "Let's look at Xiao Xu below, speaking of which, his magazine is not bad." ”

"I watched it too, and it's really good. It was the provincial counterparts who complained that this kid forcibly tied up. But it's been good lately, and I've heard that it's all being updated. Yongle ordered 500 copies, and I plan to ask the Film Bureau to order 20 copies. ”

"Hah!"

Leader Tian laughed and said: "There are 500,000 troops in the national distribution and projection system, plus the film bureau, studios, and TV stations, how many potential readers are counted?"

""New Film and Television" has a certain reading threshold, and his trick is really good. ”

Wu Mengchen was also very convinced, and praised: "My peers always say that I am like a businessman, but in fact, this is called a real businessman." ”

......

China TV Drama Production Center, Editing Studio.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has five sub-directors, responsible for specific shooting, and the chief director Wang Fulin controls the overall situation. The tapes that were filmed below had to be sent to him for trial, and those who felt that it was not good were returned to reshoot.

At this moment, the old man was nesting in the small dark room again to divide the battle, and suddenly heard a knock on the door outside.

As soon as the door opened, Ren Dahui came in.

"Is there something wrong?"

"I'll send you this magazine, Xiao Xu. ”

Ren Dahui looked at his state and persuaded: "You also rest from time to time, you are not young." ”

"I'm full of enthusiasm, I can't stop. ”

Wang Fulin faced his old friend, paused for a while, and went outside to smoke a cigarette. Flipping through the magazine, I was not interested in movies, so I found the Three Kingdoms part directly.

Inside is the story of Xu Fei and Yu Jiajia visiting the class, and five hundred naked men going into the water.

Fun and passionate. Wang Fulin looked at it and said: "Zhang Shaolin sent the tape over, and I said, I always thought that women's nudity was very beautiful, but I didn't expect that men's nudity is also very attractive!"

Alas, it's well written!"

"Yes, they have been with Zhang Shaolin for several days and have experienced everyone's hard work. It's a pity that there are too few people who write about the Three Kingdoms, how about I mention it to the director and let him order a few copies?"

"Anyway, the unit has to subscribe to periodicals every year, so it's better to order some good ones. ”

Wang Fulin finished smoking, waved his hand, and went into the editing room again.

......

In Su Province, Yang Qingfeng is also watching, and he has watched it over and over again.

"I see!"

He covered his scrolls and pondered, and suddenly had a sense of abruptness, which explained the reform very thoroughly, and introduced the film systems of Hong Kong and the United States, and the effect was even more obvious when compared.

He wasn't an activist, but he was a smart man who understood the irreversibility of the situation. Next, Leader Tian must have another move.

"Xiao Wang!"

"Mr. Yang!"

The assistant ran in.

"The provincial company and the 7 city systems all subscribe to "New Film and Television", you calculate how many copies, and then run to the post office. ”

"Okay, Mr. Yang!"

......

Qilu TV.

A few people were also chatting.

"Lao Yue said that Xu Fei made this magazine and intended to let us subscribe to it, what do you think?"

"I watched it, and the content was good. ”

"The typography is exceptional, it's clear at a glance. ”

"Unlike those previous magazines, I have written a brush on TV dramas and have deep digging. ”

"Hey, do you know what's going on in the next issue?"

Lao Yue said to introduce "White Eyebrow Hero". ”

"Order!"
