Chapter 238: Proposal and Approval (3/5)
The deputy director began, and the others could only speak enthusiastically.
It's almost the same routine, in addition to showing loyalty, by the way, he praised the leader's foresight, and at the same time vaguely said his achievements.
Indeed, the reason why Chinese films have been able to develop by leaps and bounds, in addition to the rapid economic development, is mainly due to the dividends of cultural system reform!
Especially after the promulgation of the "Film Promotion Law", a number of listed entertainment companies were born.
Why is hot money flowing into the film industry?
It's not because the policy supports the development of the cultural industry!
Zhang Junsheng is in the media industry, but also because of the dividend effect of the film industry...
But what is being discussed now is 'solving the problem of WTO films'!
The main target is, of course, Hollywood's share of imported films, what about batch films?
How many units?
What are the new rules for co-productions?
Also, the filmmaker's study plan in the United States, should the country pay attention to science fiction films, and let a group of young directors with feelings go to Hollywood to visit and learn about their film industry?
Just thinking about it, the eyes of the future No. 1 leader fell on Zhang Junsheng: "Xiao Zhang, talk about your opinion!"
Zhang Junsheng cleared his throat: "Then I'll say something different..."
"It's okay, everyone can talk freely!"
“… First, I don't think our regulations on co-productions are a bit inappropriate? Our co-productions are actually equivalent to foreign film tax rebate systems, and the difference between 25 percent and 45 percent is 20 percent, as far as I know, some European countries, their tax rebate system requires the employment of at least one-third of local staff, and does not require actors or funds to enter, I think from the perspective of cultivating filmmakers, should we revise this regulation a little?"
"Second, in addition to Hollywood, can the films of some other countries, such as India, Spain, Thailand, South Korea, and Japan, be imported into China?
"Third, the domestic film protection month... During the period from June 10th to July 10th (or July to August) every year, the introduction of overseas blockbusters is not encouraged, so can this time period be extended a little? There is a clear rule? South Korea's film quota system requires that each screening hall must screen 146 days of local films, and Japan directly delays more than 80% of Hollywood blockbusters for 1~3 months... I think we can all learn from it!"
"Fourth, about film genre censorship..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Junsheng glanced at Zhang Hongsen, who was expressionless, Zhang Junsheng gritted his teeth and continued: "I think the country should slightly relax the review standards in the genres of science fiction, magic, and action blockbusters, at least they should enjoy the same treatment as imported films, imported films can be released "Resident Evil", but we can't shoot it, two months ago, we wrote a few doomsday-themed scripts, and all of them were beaten back... Is Hollywood more expensive than our gold? I can't say it!"
"Is there such a thing?"
The future No. 1 chief frowned, looked at Zhang Hongsen, and Tong Gang...
Zhang Hongsen hurriedly explained: "Chief, it's not that we don't let the movie happen, in fact, I personally like the "Songjiang Xing" submitted by Yamen, and I think that if it can be filmed, then we will also broaden the genre of zombie movies, and that story is very touching... But that story involves soldiers, and according to the regulations, the General Political Department will be judged, and in addition, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Police... We can't help it!"
“… Leadership, that's the movie, nothing else..."
The future No. 1 leader probably understood what was going on, and looked at Zhang Junsheng: "When it comes to soldiers, it's right to be cautious!"
Zhang Junsheng's heart was cold, and he saw Zhang Junsheng's expression and smiled: "However, Hollywood can shoot, of course we can shoot too, is there a market for this piece?"
"Yes, the year before last, we spent $300 million to buy out the copyright of "Resident Evil", and in two years, we earned back the cost at the box office and DVD sales alone, and the follow-up game copyrights around us sold more than $200 million, among them, we sold more than 200 million dollars of dolls in China alone, of course, most of them were pirated... The game licensing has also earned tens of millions, but we saw that there is market potential, so we decided to make the same type of film!"
"Okay, as long as there is a market!"
The future No. 1 leader nodded, and then looked at Zhang Hongsen: "On the premise of not involving laws and policies, we can also do it if I look at a piece!"
Move!
nodded loudly, which means that making this type of film in the future is equivalent to getting a holy decree!
"Anything else?"
“… No, that's my little rough opinion!"
Da nodded again, glanced at the people sitting below, and said with a smile: "Movies are very special commodities, and the management departments must do a good job of controlling them, managing the places that should be managed, and relaxing the places that should be placed, and they must not become an obstacle to the development of the film industry! Those who do content must strive to produce works that not only conform to the positive energy of socialism, but also serve the people, and make film works that are rooted in the people and worthy of the times!"
"Only when there is righteousness in the chest, the people in the heart, and the responsibility on the shoulders can there be a lot of success in the pen. ”
……
At the end of the meeting, Zhang Junsheng followed Han Shanping out of the conference room.
“… I thought you'd ask about the third plate!"
"Don't think about the third license, from next year, I will concentrate on staying in China, I always firmly believe that our own people's creativity is no worse than Hollywood!"
"Yes, let's go, I'll invite you to dinner!"
"Mr. Han invited me to dinner, I can't ask for it!"
The two got into the car and went to the headquarters of China Film.
Han Shanping is a native of Shuchuan, and the two eat Sichuan cuisine.
"You want to do a film festival?"
“… I don't want to, it's too much trouble to do a film festival, so I'd better do a film festival and the whole film trading market by the way!
In 05, the Propaganda Department promulgated the "Measures for the Administration of National Literary and Art Press and Publication Awards", which focused on the rectification of national awards, requiring the reduction or prohibition of various award activities in the film industry.
After the document was issued, many film awards were canceled, and even the Directors Guild Award was gone, and later it was changed to the Directors Guild Commendation Conference...
The original annual Huabiao Awards were also forced to be held once every two years, and before the new policy came out, the General Administration did not dare to easily issue approval documents for film awards.
After the establishment of Suzhou * Zhou Film and Television City, according to Zhang Qinian's plan, of course, it is a whole awesome film festival, just like Lao Wang, after the launch of Qingdao Film City, it is ready to apply for the film festival, and the name is 'Wanda Qingdao International Film Festival', and strive to create a film festival that affects the world, and then what?
Approval failed...
Nonsense, I've given you approval, what should I do with the Shanghai Film Festival and the Northern Film Festival?
Han Shanping changed the subject: "The batch of films you just mentioned should have a quota of 30 films per year, what's the matter?"
"No, you don't know, the current batch of films is too expensive, the price has increased tenfold, the gambling is too big, I'm not interested!"
“… Then why do you ask this?"
"I asked for a friend!"
Han Shanping sighed: "The Expendables" won 200 million at the box office, surpassing the vast majority of imported films, and now many people are scolding me for being blind..."
