Chapter 925: Application for Project Initiation
The inaugural Golden Sycamore Award is over.
If you want to say what milestone significance, it's too exaggerated, it's only one term, and word of mouth depends on accumulation.
But the audience is already excited, finally there are no double yolk eggs!
The nomination of the Golden Rooster has also been announced, and in terms of organizational order, star quality, and atmosphere rendering, the Golden Rooster lies flat and does not intend to struggle.
And the discussion on the Internet is in full swing, and the main real bigwigs have made public appearances.
"I didn't know this before, I just went to Sogou Encyclopedia to take a look, and I can only lie in the groove!"
"Lie in the same groove!"
"Just that long list of works, I can only say that Mr. Xu contracted my childhood, and I am willing to sincerely call Xu Baba!"
"Phew! Upstairs is to snatch the family property! Xu Baba, I am your long-lost daughter, I don't want the family property, just give me 10,000 pocket money every month!"
"One thing to say, it turns out that so many awesome films were shot by him. ”
"Yes, I'm stunned too! Even "Virus" is his script, no wonder he can invite Japanese and Korean stars. ”
"Hehe, do you know why so many superstars are on the stage? The water here is very deep, and you naturally understand it. ”
"Then can we expect Leonardo, Tom Cruise, Takuya Kimura, and Kim Hee-sun in the future?"
"It's a must, in the future, celebrities will come to score points, Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, and domestic production. ”
“......”
“......”
"Something is wrong with you!"
The emergence of LSP quickly made everyone crooked.
And immediately after, the real god bubbled: "You are all outdated! Who still looks overseas now? Domestic resources are up, please support local production." ”
So one party appealed, and all parties responded:
"Support the Chinese film industry!"
"Support the Chinese film industry!"
............
Xu Fei said at the ceremony that private capital was liberalized.
At that time, the document had not yet been issued, but the official had already confirmed that there was such a thing, and it was not a violation.
Immediately followed by October, radio and television made a big move, and the policy was announced like snowflakes.
Roughly speaking, private capital can produce films independently, no longer need to cooperate with state-owned units, and at the same time, it can set up a separate distribution company and theater chain.
As a result, six companies, including Beijing Acorn, Shanghai Golden Palm, Guangdong Yamato, Chengdu Eying, Beijing Alliance Entertainment, and China Huayi Audio-Visual Co., Ltd., obtained the first batch of issuance licenses.
It used to be a pilot, but now it's official.
And the original Bona-Yu Dong, and the new picture-Zhang Weiping, have been fanned out.
The second result is that Times Media announced the establishment of its own cinema company, relying on Daduhui, the first batch of 39 first-class cinemas to be launched.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Because the three-year contract has arrived, the second round of theatrical restructuring will be carried out next year. Several powerful state-owned enterprises and private enterprises rushed in, merged vertically and horizontally, and acquired and annexed.
For example, Poly Group announced that it would acquire 51% of the equity of Chongqing Wanhe Cinema Line, and renamed Poly Wanhe after the reorganization. And will invest 40 million to upgrade the theater.
Another example is Wanda, which also announced its entry into the film and television industry. Lao Wang's strength is still small, and he can only make 5 theaters under his umbrella, and it is said that he is studying capital injection with the long cinema line.
Another example is China Film, which is coordinating the merger of Beijing New Film Association and Liaoning North Cinema Line, and the merger of Huaying Southern Cinema into China Film Shinkansen Cinema Line......
Wu Mengchen is the best at doing this, turning clouds and rain in it.
If successful, China Film will hold shares and control 7 theater chains, a real giant!
At the same time, the creative constraints are also relaxed.
Such as the script project.
Except for major revolutionary and historical themes, co-productions, and films with special themes (foreign-related, religious, military, public security, and judicial), the rest of the works do not need to provide a complete script, and an outline of no less than 1,000 words is sufficient.
Look at both sides of everything.
On the one hand, improving efficiency and encouraging filming can indeed enhance enthusiasm.
But when the market reaches a certain level, a lot of stinky fish and rotten shrimp will be produced.
You don't need a complete script for official review, why do I need to film? Get an outline, set up the project, find a few flows, and the funds will naturally come.
As a result, the role of the screenwriter is weakened to the maximum, and the quality of the film is difficult to guarantee.
After the announcement of this policy, the first co-production script received by the Film Bureau was Xu Fei's.
..................
Film Bureau, a certain room.
A full script was on the table.
"Title: Earth Cannon"
"Producer: Times Media, Sunshine Pictures (Hong Kong), Cactus Pictures (United States)"
The person in charge of the review sighed, after the script was sent, he read it twice, and touched it with several colleagues, but he still couldn't make up his mind.
He packed a folder, attached his censorship, and got up to head out.
"Knock knock!"
"Come in!"
"Tong Bureau!"
He handed over the document and said, "We don't have a clue in our office, we have to ask you to decide." ”
"Put this on. ”
Tong Gang answered, continued to be busy with the work at hand, and picked it up at the end.
One saw that it was a script, and then looked at the name and producer, and the spirit suddenly focused. I sat for a long time, until I got off work, and finally finished reading the thick book.
To be honest, he didn't know how to get it either.
It's a sci-fi movie!
As early as 1938, Xinhua Pictures made a "Shanghai Beach Sixty Years Later", China's first science fiction film.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1958, Beijing Film Studio made a "Fantasy of the Ming Tombs Reservoir".
Looking at the title of the film, I thought that the working people worked hard to build the reservoir. No, it predicts laptops, iPads, video calls, and other technologies, crude but creative.
Chinese films, including science fiction films, have always suffered and lacked a long-term and stable period of development.
It was easy to get to the 80s, and the thoughts were stirred and released, and masterpieces such as "Thunderbolt Baby", "Doctor Incognito" and "Death Light on Coral Island" were born.
Immediately after that, he was cut in half by the Changsha Conference.
Until now, it seems that another movie is coming, but very few people want to make science fiction films.
I don't dare to shoot, it's not easy to shoot, and it's difficult to have financial and technical difficulties...... It's all for the reason.
And is there really a lack of sci-fi audiences in China?
No, there are a lot of sci-fi fans out there.
"Whew!"
Tong Gang lit a cigarette, took a few puffs and put it in his hand, and flipped through some pages again.
As soon as science fiction films involve politics, they are prone to thunder.
What "Earth Cannon" is about, he distilled a few words: resource depletion, common development of mankind, inward or outward, Chinese scientists......
The script consciously avoided some minefields, but the stakes were so high that he didn't dare to make arbitrary decisions.
"Knock knock!"
"Please come in!"
The next day, in the office of the leader of Radio and Television Xu, Tong Gang came in: "I can't grasp this film well, I have to ask you to decide." ”
"Let it go. ”
Leader Xu is inexplicable, why did a script still find me?
Then he looked.
Heck, it's a big deal, so I have to find a propaganda outlet to study it.
......
Xu Fei is still waiting.
The script was submitted and a reply was given within 20 working days, but it turned out that it was almost 20 days and there was no movement.
I had to call Tong Gang, it was very complicated over there.
"We are still studying, and some higher-level leaders have heard about it and are also very interested, in short, they are still studying. ”
Hung up in confusion.
Immediately after that, Leader Xu called again: "Otherwise, you can come and explain it face to face." ”
Well?
Teacher Xu shrugged his shoulders and asked Xiao Mo to prepare the car.
"Where are you going?"
"Zhongnanhai. ”
(And ...... )
