Chapter 296: The Film Agreement
In February, the embroidered spring knife was about to end, Zhou Lin had already returned to Hangzhou, and Liu Sisi took Liu's father to decorate her small bar.
Lin Gengxing left the group and returned to the magic capital, and under Zhou Jin's persuasion, he still accepted Xuanyuan Jian's play.
Even if he wants to flip the table, he doesn't have that confidence now.
Zhou Jin took the time to go back to the imperial capital in addition to busy shooting, and he really didn't understand on the phone, he only knew that Ning Hao was in a hurry.
I haven't been here for more than two months, and the good monkey has basically not changed, but after the end of the year, the face of the girl at the front desk has become round.
"Brother Jin, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you miss me?" the girl at the front desk asked with a smile when she saw Zhou Jin.
"I think, you're fat again," Zhou Jin didn't have the heart to play with her, so he rushed into Ning Hao's office with a sentence.
As soon as I pushed the door open, I smelled a choking smell of smoke, and the five big men inside, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Chen Er, and Guan Hu, each had a cigarette in their hands, swallowing clouds and spitting fog there, and the atmosphere was a little thick.
"What are you talking about?" Zhou Jin pulled a sofa and sat next to Huang Bo.
Huang Bo said in a low voice: "You still don't know? The capital is all in a hurry, and the letter I just got this morning is that the Sino-US film agreement has been announced." ”
"I know the agreement, what is the specific content?"
"See for yourself," Huang Bo handed over a piece of printer paper, which looked like a review article on a certain website, and explained the whole thing clearly.
It turned out that the Celestial Empire joined the WTO in 2001 and ushered in an economic take-off, but it also had to open up the film market.
At that time, the Celestial Empire film was still in its infancy, competing with the mature Hollywood film industry, and there was almost no advantage.
Therefore, on the one hand, the state supports the film industry, and on the other hand, it negotiates with the US imperialists to limit the number of quotas and the proportion of accounts for imported films.
At that time, China and the United States signed a "bilateral agreement" to allow the import of 20 US imperialist blockbusters in the form of account sharing every year, with a 13% account sharing ratio and a validity period of 10 years.
And now, this agreement has expired, and in the face of WTO arbitration, the Celestial Empire has to open up the market and allow more US imperialist blockbusters to enter the country.
In February, negotiations on a film agreement between China and the United States resumed, and a new agreement was introduced.
The agreement stipulates that on the basis of the original agreement, the quota of 14 special (3D, IMAX) account-sharing films will be increased every year, for a total of 34 films, and the account sharing ratio will also be increased to 25%.
In addition, Sino-US co-productions will enjoy the same treatment as China-Hong Kong co-productions, and will not be subject to the quota of imported films for screening in the mainland.
In this way, Hollywood's large-scale entry into the Celestial Empire film market is almost a foregone conclusion.
Xu Zheng is very optimistic about this, "Don't be discouraged, if you want me to say that this is not all bad, Hollywood has come in, and the country will definitely strengthen the fight against piracy, and we can also make a profit." ”
Not to mention anything else, the pirated resources of "People in Embarrassment" are still flying all over the sky, and they, the investors, have not received a penny.
Zhou Jin was choked by the smoke, coughed a few times and said: "I think Lao Xu is right, there are more good movies, and the audience will know that it is good or bad, which is a good thing in the long run." ”
"Look, Zhou Jin also thinks the same way," Xu Zheng said with a smile: "Sure enough, the vision of our young people is still very consistent. ”
"What about the audit?" Chen Er ignored them and asked coldly.
Ning Hao saw that Zhou Jin was choked, so he opened the window casually, turned his head and said: "After the trial, the standards are not all the same, Hollywood can shoot it, it makes no sense that we can't shoot it." ”
"You're thinking too much," a cold wind blew in, and Guan Hu pulled his collar, "Did you release that no man's land?"
He is also an old cannon in the imperial capital, and he has been dealing with the General Administration all the year round, and his sense of smell is much better than Ning Hao's.
Ning Hao said: "I've already found someone to go to the event, and I haven't waited for Xin'er yet, it is estimated that there is a door." ”
"Difficult!" Guan Hu poured cold water on him, obviously not very optimistic about the Celestial Empire's review system.
Under this system, filmmakers seem to dance with shackles, thinking that if the shackles are not opened, how can they compete with Hollywood?
Zhou Jin didn't bother to listen to them talk about these topics, so he turned his head and whispered to Huang Bo, "Did Master Xing contact you?
Huang Bodao: "It should be soon, anyway, the summer vacation will definitely start filming, it is estimated that it will be settled on this date, hey, how is your bar?"
"Sisi is looking for someone to decorate, making it look like it was in the Ming Dynasty, antique. ”
"Hey, are you still going to find a resident singer to sing rock in the Jinyiwei lobby?"
"According to me, I just invite a few people to talk about cross talk, I know Mr. Yu of Deyun Club, but Sisi has to invite a singer to come, when it opens, do you want to come and present a song?"
"I'll ...... if the drinks are free"
"If you want to come, it must be free......"
The two of them were chatting happily, and Xu Zheng was bored to death sitting on the other end.
He really can't talk to Wen Qing like Chen Er, an old cannon like Guan Hu, and a Virgo hooligan like Ning Hao.
Every day, I talk about the audit, make a comedy, amuse the audience, and take the box office myself, I don't know how good it is.
He found a vacancy and pulled a chair and sneaked over, "What are you talking about?"
Zhou Jin looked at his big bald head and said with a smile: "On the day of the opening of the bar, we discussed whether to cook a few more braised eggs and share them with everyone." ”
"What kind of boiled egg, how good it is to divide big ingots," Xu Zheng straightened his hairstyle, "Look at how smart I am." ”
Huang Bo reached out and touched it, "Shui Ling didn't see it, but your foundation hit the back of the head, right?"
Zhou Jin also said: "Are you done in the later stage of "Thai Embarrassment", and now you are very happy, and even want to play a sea scenery?"
"I'm tired of the scenery on the sea, I like the feelings of ladies now, the kind of swimsuits, hey, have you tried the ladies of the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhou Jin looked at him vigilantly, "Don't make up your mind, I'm a serious bar." ”
"I didn't say that it was not serious, do you want to walk in Sanlitun at night? There are a lot of girls who want to be actors, all of them are white-skinned and beautiful with long legs, and they can be pushed by a maid, Lao Zhou, you are so famous, it's a pity not to go to a nightclub. ”
"Forget it, it's not a good thing to be popular," Zhou Jin was still quite distressed, "I have to be fully armed when I go out now, for fear of being secretly photographed." ”
"Are you afraid of being told the unspoken rules? It's okay, some girls can push without giving the role, and you can sign someone in the past......"
Zhou Jin still shook his head, he cherished feathers very much, and he didn't do such a thing as powder.
Huang Bo silently raised his hand on the side, "The Golden Horse actor I just won." ”
"Don't make trouble," Xu Zheng refused without even thinking about it, "Who knows who you are, Ge Erdan?" I'm sorry, other girls don't like to watch Ge Erdan, they love to watch our eighth elder brother." ”
Zhou Jin swore that he didn't refuse Xu Zheng because he still had a scene to shoot at night, and he said very resolutely: "Having said so much, don't you go the same by yourself?
Xu Zheng was embarrassed, "It was okay before, but now it's ...... It's hard to say. ”
"," Huang Bo immediately understood, this grandson was probably in that place, and his character was ruined, so he came to bewitch Zhou Jin.
On this side, an old driver takes a rookie and tempts new ones.
On the other side, Ning Hao, Guan Hu, and Chen Er were entangled for a long time, and only summarized it into one sentence: In the future, making literary films is looking for death, and if you want the box office, you have to make commercial films.
"Zhou Jin, Da Dudu, do you still have a schedule after the embroidered spring knife is finished?" Guan Hu suddenly shouted.
"What do you say first......" Zhou Jin was busy copying the phone number from Xu Zheng's mobile phone, and answered casually.
Guan Hu said: "I got a new book, called Hu Liela, I want to ask you to ......"
"Tiger what?"
"Tiger Lyra, which means cholera in Japanese, is also called plague. ”
"What are you talking about?"
"It's just a cook, a play, and a story of a ruffian who resists Japan......"
"Wait a while," before he finished speaking, Zhou Jin stopped, "Brother Hu, I'm really not available, I can't act, I got a new play." ”
He casually took a copy of the script from Ning Hao's table, and didn't even read the name, "Look, the book has been sent." ”
Guan Hu: "......"
I didn't even say when the filming would start, you're too perfunctory, and is that book for you?
In the past, Zhou Jin was a good actor with good acting skills, cheap prices, and hard work, so whenever there was something missing, Guan Hu thought of him.
But this guy became popular when he inexplicably acted in an idol drama, not to mention being a household name, there are still a lot of female fans.
When Guan Hu was editing "Killing" at the time, he was still worried about whether the audience would feel like a drama when they saw the eighth elder brother.
But now, if they want to make a commercial film, they have to find a popular actor with good acting skills, and Zhou Jin is simply the first choice.
As a result, Zhou Jin quit himself.
"Huang Bo also shoots, it's still the two of you partners, this time you are the male number one," he followed and seduced.
Huang Bo: ......
When did I say yes to you?
Zhou Jin didn't bird either, but still shook his head.
It's not that he dislikes Guan Hu, it's purely that when he watched "Kitchen Drama Ruffian" in his previous life, he felt too embarrassed, and quit halfway through it.
In Zhou Jin's heart, if Guan Hu's works are ranked, "Kitchen Drama Ruffian" will be counted down.
But it's not good to refuse directly, he thought about it and said with a smile: "How dare I rob Brother Bo of a man, I'll still match, don't worry, I will definitely take time out of the schedule." ”
Speaking of which, Guan Hu is not good at insisting, and it is not much of a problem to change to a man, it is nothing more than a matter of spending more money.
"Your notebook ......" Ning Hao pointed to the script in Zhou Jin's hand, and stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Jin had time to turn over the script and glanced at the cover, "Funeral coffin?"
What a broken name, it's really unlucky.
"Who is this director, I really don't know how to choose a name, this broken name can't pass the trial at first glance," Zhou Jin complained ruthlessly.
The review of the Celestial Empire is actually quite strange, and the movie name is not allowed to bring "coffin", nor is it allowed to bring "funeral", but this book is all occupied.
"Forget it, you can take it back and take a look," Ning Hao smiled weirdly and didn't say anything more.
He promised that after Zhou Jin finished reading this broken book, he should not be able to sleep at night.
