Chapter 4: Luc Besson (part 2 of 8)

In the weekly issue of "Southern Weekly", Zhang Junsheng really appeared on the cover, with the title of 'The New Leader of Domestic Films'!

This title is not insignificant!

New Navigator!

Who is the old one?

Have you asked them for their opinions?

However, in the eyes of a group of fans, Zhang Junsheng does represent the hope of Chinese films!

And the purchasing power of this group of fans is very strong!

As a result, the 500,000 copies printed by Southern Weekly were sold out immediately after they were launched, and as a last resort, 500,000 copies were reprinted, and in just two days, they were sold out again...

Directly refreshed the sales of "Southern Weekly"...

At the beginning, the sales of the issue of "The Four Great Flowers" were only 600,000 copies...

Zhang Junsheng's ability to bring goods is so powerful that it is awe-inspiring!

It's a pity that Zhang Junsheng rarely accepts interviews, and even if he does, he also gives "Sanlian"...

There are many voices of discussion on the Internet, some are discussing the monopoly of Chinese films, and some are discussing literary and commercial films.

"The monopoly of China Film is indisputable and has reached the truth, and it is more firm than the family planning policy!"

"China Film Group has established 7 cinema lines through equity participation, signed more than 400 cinema franchises, and the box office accounts for about half of the national market share..."

"They still have movie channels!"

"Dongyang Media's masterpieces, "1942" and "Mobile Phone 2" are all lent to China Film for distribution, which shows that China Film Group has reached the point where no one can compete with it in the Chinese film market, and no one can not ally with it.

Zhang Junsheng dared to go against China Film, I admire his courage, although I don't like this person, but I have to say that Zhang Junsheng is an indispensable figure in the Chinese film industry!"

"The market has to compete fairly, and if you have the ability, you can make more money, how can you rely on policy support?"

"Film is an art, and simply using the box office to measure the quality will be scolded by colleagues for being too coppery, but under the current conditions of China's film market, attaching importance to the box office and the feelings of ordinary audiences is really more valuable than talking about art, because over the years, countless film experts have almost 'talked' Chinese films to death, and art has become the best excuse for directors who do not want to be responsible for the audience to excuse their incompetence. ”

"The new century is about to be the tenth year, and the number of young directors who are good at 'talking about art' is increasing unabated, and in a vicious circle with no market reference, most of these young directors are becoming less and less able to make movies, and will only rely on some 'soul-touching' petty fights to gamble!"

In fact, the narrative level of Chinese genre films is still at the level of the 60s of the last century, and a single thinking runs through from the beginning to the end, which cannot arouse the audience's interest at all. "Crazy Stone" proves that many Chinese directors are still playing with commercial films, and the younger generation is finally willing to tell stories honestly!"

"At the moment, China does need blockbuster movies like 'Crazy Stone.' But a good box office does not mean a good movie, and a really good movie will think about it after watching it. But what can you think about after watching "Crazy Stone"? No! I'm sure that such a commercial film is just a passing moment, and you won't remember anything after you go crazy!"

"Upstairs, the appraisal is complete!"

"Pen +1..."

"If there is a problem, the movie still has to make people think, why don't you say that cross talk and sketches also make people think?

The media and the Internet have quarreled all kindly, but the initiator Zhang Junsheng has never spoken out, and even his Weibo news has not been updated for three days...

Many people speculate that Zhang Junsheng should not be interviewed, right?

It wasn't until noon that Zhang Junsheng released the latest news 'and Luc Besson at Europa Film Studio!'

……

Zhang Junsheng visited France and was personally received by Luc Besson.

The two came to Europa Cinema City...

Luc Besson's greatest contribution to French cinema!

Cité du Cinématheque is located in the northern suburbs of Paris, near the Carrefour Pleyel metro station.

Covering an area of 60,000 square meters, 15,000 square meters of office space and 12,000 square meters of comprehensive space, including: temporary on-site production office, actors' lounge, art props studio, storage room, photography equipment rental company, lighting equipment rental company, post-production company, restaurant and café, etc.

The 10,000-square-metre soundproof studio is equipped with air-conditioning and a work canopy covering the entire stage. Five of the studios are equipped with a 3-metre-deep pool for underwater shooting.

It has hosted numerous films, commercials, TV shows and musicals.

"There has never been a big film and television city in Europe, and five years ago, I contracted a disused factory of the former EDF company to transform it into the largest film and television city in Europe. ”

"Our goal is to host crews from all over the world to shoot in France!"

"In five years, it is almost ready for use! The biggest feature of the cinema is that the studio and other supporting facilities of the cinema are completely synergistic. ”

Luc Besson's assistant gave an enthusiastic introduction as he walked.

"Today, we have the Lumière National Film Institute, Euromedia Group, Europa Films, Von der Lin Konta Media Group in our area, and we have nine sound stages!"

Zhang Junsheng visited with great interest...

Since it is necessary to acquire media companies with the ability to distribute throughout Europe, there are not many options in fact, and the film industry in Europe has long since ceased to be the last century under the impact of Hollywood, and most of the remaining film companies in various countries are independent film production companies, relying on the support of the state, barely failing...

Baidai Film Company and Gaomeng Film Company are no longer the avant-garde in the film industry of the year!

In France, or in Europe, the two largest film companies were Gaumont and EMI, and the history of their two companies is almost the history of early French cinema and even the entire European cinema.

In contrast, EMI is better, they shoot and show films together, and not only based on the fierce competition in France, they put a considerable part of their money and energy into the United States, through cooperation with Hollywood companies, EMI is still the largest film company in France.

But the Gaumont company is different, its business is now tightened, its control over the French film market is declining year by year, especially giving up film shooting and only focusing on the production of film-related equipment, and they do not know how to cooperate with advanced companies, which makes them always in an extremely disadvantageous position in the process of competing with Baidai.

Coupled with the rise of Europa Films, Gaumont has long been in debt!

Zhang Junsheng's goal at the beginning was Gao Meng, and after some investigation, he gave up directly...

The sloppy stepped on the horse, and actually regarded Zhang Junsheng as a Kaizi, not only opened his mouth to offer 800 million euros, but also demanded that the Chinese side could not participate in the management.

Look at you proud, so awesome, for Mao to put yourself bankrupt?

As for Baidai, their prices also exceeded Zhang Junsheng's expectations...

I didn't plan to have anything to do with Luc Besson, but now Europa Films seems to be the only option...

As for MK2, it's a thriving company with no shortage of money!

……

Luc Besson has long inquired about Zhang Junsheng's goal - overseas sales channels!

So, as soon as he came up, he said, "We have the ability to distribute globally!"

“… I'm trying to set up my own distribution channel, not an agency!"

Zhang Junsheng didn't think about it, and directly rejected Luc Besson...

The strength of Europa Films, he saw, and then what?

Become a minority shareholder and give them your own film for distribution?

Sick?

Any of the Big Six in Hollywood has such an ability!

"I regret that day, Zhang..."

Luc Besson only coveted Zhang Junsheng's funds, and he didn't have the idea of hand-building Europa Films!

"Still, we can work together on a couple of films!"

"Oh, how do you cooperate?"
