Chapter 735: May 3
Radio and Television Building.
Xu Fei stepped into it, and many people recognized it and greeted him one after another. When I arrived at Leader Tian's office, the secretary was pouring hot water into the kettle and said with a smile:
"Xiao Xu is here, Director Tian will have a morning meeting temporarily, you wait for a while. ”
"Good. ”
He sat on the sofa and said, "I see that the movement in the bureau is quite big, and I am full of righteous indignation." ”
"No, if it weren't for the rules, we would all want to march. It's a pity that I can't do too much, so I can only ban American films. ”
The secretary didn't see anything outside, and said: "I'm worried about the ban, and now it's all supported by foreign films, what should the market do? Those people will definitely come to make trouble again."
Hey, you've been silent for a year, and you haven't had a film this year?"
"Yes, isn't this a report? ”
"What kind of work do you report? You kid has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace......
Leader Tian entered the house, waved his hand, motioned for the secretary to go out and close the door, and said, "Say, what are you doing?"
"I heard that you visited the United States with a big leader last month, how is the situation?" asked Xu Fei.
"It was going well, but the US side suddenly changed its mind, and even fought a public opinion war with us, announcing a so-called 'list of concessions that China intends to make'.
We immediately clarified that the big leaders had stopped doing anything, and said that if they wanted to talk, they would go to the capital to talk! Originally, it was arranged very quickly, but who knew that the incident of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia would be caused again, and I don't know when the next round of talks would start. ”
November, I know!
Xu Fei muttered in his heart and asked, "What are the terms of the movie?"
"It's a violation!"
"You should just gossip, and I won't talk about it...... Ouch, you still can't believe me, my mouth is tighter than a zipper!"
Leader Tian paused and said in a low voice: "The United States mainly puts forward two requirements, one is to increase the number of films introduced to 40 films per year......
"Why doesn't it rob it?!" Xu Fei also shouted in a low voice.
"Second, they require a 100% wholly-owned company to publish, produce, distribute audio-visual products, as well as wholly-owned cinema chains. ”
"!"
Xu Fei scolded directly, he really didn't know these details and terms, he couldn't die!
"Of course, we have always attached great importance to the Yishi form, and it is impossible to agree. ”
Leader Tian chatted with him for a while and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"It's a debriefing.
I made a movie plan with Lao Wu, and you can see if you can get the official to help promote it. Also, I'd like to ask for a mandate to investigate. ”
"What investigation?"
"Survey of the current situation of film companies and theaters in various regions. ”
“......”
Leader Tian was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.
Xu Fei knew what he was thinking, and persuaded: "It's all this field, the black and white are all rotten to the end, let's stop advancing step by step, let's do it in one step!"
............
West 4th Street Entrance.
The victory, the Red Mansion, and the geological auditorium here stand on three legs, and it has always been a prosperous place for movies in Beijing, but at this time, there are many people. The increasingly hot weather was a bit annoying, and I was sick at noon.
A couple came by bicycle and stopped at the entrance of the Red House Cinema.
"Hey, why is "Rush Hour" gone?"
"It's offline. ”
"It's going offline in a month? I saw it a few days ago and there was a poster!"
The boy ran to the ticket gate and asked, "Hello, is there "Rush Hour"?"
"No, don't let go. ”
"Why don't you let it go, there are a lot of people watching. ”
"Who do you ask, where do I know?"
"Then, does "Mulan" have a ticket?"
"I won't let it go. ”
The boy was depressed, and when he glanced at the side and drew a poster of a hand-drawn domestic film, he was even more depressed.
"Forget it, don't look at it. ”
"Really, why don't you let go of anything?"
Similar scenes take place in various cities, as if overnight, the audience finds that the American film has disappeared.
Most people don't care, I don't watch pirated discs, don't I smoke, drink, and play billiards? But some people who are used to going to theaters, especially those who like imported films, start talking about it on the Internet.
"I've pulled out all of my American films. ”
"I'm also withdrawing. ”
"I heard that there is a policy to ban American films. ”
"It's forbidden, damn Yankee bullies!"
"It's banned, but what if I want to watch a movie? I don't want to pay to watch those themes. ”
"Pirated copies, isn't it good to have four discs for ten yuan?"
"In fact, there are also good-looking domestic films, but the company in the world pretended to be dead and didn't move, and there was not even a Chinese New Year film last year, so it had to go out of business?"
"Let's shift the focus to TV series, after all, the film market is too bad right now. ”
"Alas!"
"Alas!"
Speaking of which, the last sigh.
In these years, the masses basically do not know about the policy documents, because there is no channel to understand them. There was a discussion on the Internet, but there was no official response, and in the eyes of everyone, it was a tacit acquiescence.
Inside the film system, the documents are public.
Woohoo and mourn, gloomy clouds.
"This is our life, we can't show American films, who will come to the cinema?"
"I don't know when it's banned, it's going to be yellow if there is no film in the theater. ”
"Smuggled films can't do it, the audience has more pirated discs in their hands than us!"
"Then you go and say, let the upper head lift the ban?"
"Don't talk nonsense, who's going to say it at this juncture? Damn it, fuck the Yankees!"
............
Magic capital, on the beautiful shadow.
The name alone is a monument that has contracted the childhood of many people.
From the puppet films "Mr. Dongguo", "Midnight Chicken Crow", "The Story of Avanti", to the ink films "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother" and "Shepherd's Flute", and then to the feature-length animation "Hulu Brothers", "Sloppy King", "Shuke and Beta", "Rubik's Cube Mansion", ......
Not to mention the epoch-making, which was first-class in the world at that time, "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", "Nezha in the Sea" and so on.
Shangmei Film has been brilliant for decades, and now, like many studios, is in a big dilemma of restructuring and social transformation.
At this moment, a group of people are in the conference room, studying the release of "Baolian Lantern".
This is the fifth cinema blockbuster in the factory, which took four years to complete, and is regarded as a new attempt by veteran animators and a breakthrough in the market.
"The distribution company has too much sharing, we invest 12 million, and then distribute it to them, how much can we earn?
So I insist on independent distribution, and the film companies around the country are not rejecting cartoons, the boss is easier to talk to, and basically agrees to release it. ”
"But what about publicity? I heard that the current distribution is not only a matter of release, but also that we don't understand publicity, so do we have to spend money?"
"And after the release, how to prevent piracy?"
"I have a suggestion to gather some volunteer college students. Aren't you going to release it in the summer? Just right, let them take the copies back to their hometowns, in pairs.
They take care of the delivery to the local film company and supervise and we reimburse the travel expenses. ”
"Will this work?"
"Why do people work so hard, just for some travel expenses?"
"Young people are still sincere and kind, and if we communicate with them, we may be able to recruit them. ”
Stepping into the 90s, the life of Shangmei Film became more and more difficult, with serious brain drain and shortage of funds. The main thing is that in the face of market changes, I don't know how to operate.
Discussions come and go, and there is a stone in my heart.
As he was talking, someone outside reported: "Director, Acorn's people are visiting." ”
"What acorns?"
"A company under Tianxia Film and Television, specializing in distribution. ”
(The previous chapter went in.) And also...... )
