"Mr. Lei, may I ask what is the theme of your next movie, is it a horror movie like "Ghost Shadows"?"

"I will make two movies next, the same theme as "Nightclub" and "Ghost Shadow", a comedy movie and a horror movie, and horror movies are mainly aimed at horror fans in the European and American markets!"

"Is a horror movie a pseudo-documentary like "Ghost Shadows"!" a reporter continued to ask.

"It's not decided yet, interested friends can go over and take a look at it when the time comes!" Lei Weidong changed the topic with a smile.

"Smack!"

With the soft sound of the remote control!

Lei Weidong's laughter disappeared on TV.

"What do you think!" asked the big guy sitting at the front of the conference room of a group in Beijing.

The news that Lei Weidong's film is selling well in Toronto is a distant thing for people living on the other side of the Pacific, and most people don't know about it at all, and they don't care about it.

But for film practitioners, this news will not be missed in any way.

Front-line reporters quickly sent the information back to headquarters.

As the largest film group, China Film naturally received the news.

The overseas copyright of a Chinese-language film has sold a record of millions of dollars, and he is still a rookie director, which immediately attracted the attention of the leaders above!

Ask where this Lei Weidong came from!

So we have today's meeting!

"Very good!" The later big boss in the film and television industry, Jin Sanye smiled, "This shows that foreigners still like our movies, in the past, movies were not popular because those directors didn't find a selling point, this young man is very good, he hit the point of Americans, and a movie sold millions of dollars!"

As for this Lei Weidong is a student majoring in financial management at Jinling Normal University, during the summer vacation, he didn't know what was going on, and he fooled people to invest and drum up two movies in the magic capital, and they became an instant hit at the Toronto Film Festival!"

"Lao Jin, are you sure that this Lei Weidong is a student of Normal University and not a student of Chinese opera!" Jin Sanye's words made the big guy stunned, this cross-line is too powerful, as a teacher, he went to be a director!

"It's a student of Jinling Normal University, or a college entrance examination student this year!" Jin Sanye said in an affirmative tone,

"The director looks at talent rather than professionalism, many big directors in Hong Kong and the United States are not from professional backgrounds, just like James Cameron, the director of "Titanic", is a truck driver, Hong Kong director Liu Zhenwei is a financial manager, and Lao Mouzi is also a photographer. ”

"It doesn't matter what background you have, and your age doesn't matter, the key is that his movies have earned honor for the country!" The big guy smiled, "When will those two movies be released in China, if they are released, let those directors learn and see how other people's movies are made!"

"Because "Ghost Shadow" is a horror film involving ghosts and ghosts, it is difficult to release it with domestic policies, so they did not apply to the General Administration, and the "Nightclub" was blocked back if it failed to pass the review. ”

In the United States, there is a committee dedicated to rating films!

It's up to this committee to decide what level the film is!

The right is big and scary!

Because for those family movies, moving a little one notch, there may be a gap of tens of millions of dollars at the box office!

The six major Hollywood companies used this rating committee to make DreamWorks play to death, and it was miserable!

And at home!

There is a special film review committee, which is in the General Administration of Films

The Committee has a total of 37 members. Mainly responsible for the review of films. After each film is made, it is up to them to decide whether it can be staged or not. It can be said that he has the power of life and death in movies.

Say you can do it, you can do it, say you can't do it, you can't do it.

These people have a lot of backs, from all walks of life.

In addition to government departments, there are also scholars from Communication University, Beijing Film and other departments, as well as film directors, etc.

Because there are too many people, of course!

Everyone has their own business!

It's impossible to put 37 people together to review a movie!

In that case, there are so many movies in the Celestial Empire every year, even if you divide people in half, you can't come.

Under normal circumstances, when reviewing a movie, there may be seven or eight, or more than a dozen, anyway, the number of people is not fixed each time, and the reviewers are not fixed.

"It's blocked back, is there a place where the film has a line!" Hearing that the movie was not censored, the big guy frowned, is there something wrong with Lei Weidong's thinking.

"No!" Jin Sanye shook his head, "Although "Nightclub" is a comedy, the general direction is still positive, and the main reason for blocking it back is that the starring role is Chen Xiaoer, and the person who sent it for review is also Chen Xiaoer!"

"Chen Xiaoer, no wonder!" Hearing this name, the big guy also smiled.

That lawsuit was so bad, and the big guy also heard about it.

Many people say that Chen Xiaoer won the lawsuit and lost the future!

Although Radio and Television did not speak!

But offended the radio and television system, and everyone naturally started a relationship with Chen Xiaoer.

Movies and TV are not separated!

Now that the lawsuit has not been long in coming, the people in the committee naturally have some concerns, if the film starring Chen Xiaoer wants to pass the review, it is estimated that there will be no drama in a few years, unless a big man comes out to speak.

"Why did Lei Weidong ask Chen Xiaoer to play the leading role, he should have known that he would encounter this situation!" the big guy asked with some curiosity.

"I've talked to Chen Xiaoer about this!" Jin Sanye said with a smile, "The main reason is that Chen Xiaoer is cheap, has good acting skills, and has a great reputation, and it only costs 20,000 yuan to ask him to play the leading role!"

"Twenty thousand yuan, the little second bastard is really miserable!" the big guy sighed.

For the average person, 20,000 yuan is already a huge number!

But for a nationally renowned comedy star like Chen Xiaoer, 20,000 yuan is not enough for him to spend a cup of tea before.

Of course, the big guy didn't say anything about Chen Xiaoer's encounter, because this is the price of challenging the rules!

"Lao Jin, after all, "Nightclub" is famous abroad, you tell the film review committee, ask them to act in strict accordance with the rules and regulations, and don't think about it! It's not easy for a new director to make a movie without funds!

"Understood, I'll do it!" Jin Sanye said.

The leader did not say it explicitly in the first place!

But what he means is very clear to Jin Sanye, since the movie is no problem, it is to give Lei Weidong a chance to enter the theater and let everyone see what is going on.

------

"Little Er, haven't you passed the review yet?"

Wang Yanling, who had just returned from taking care of the fruit trees in the mountains, saw Chen Xiaoer sitting on the sofa with a sad face, smoking a cigarette as soon as she entered the house!

Knowing that things were not going well, he opened the window to ventilate the room, stepped forward and gently pressed her husband's shoulder, and said softly.

"Nope!"

Chen Xiaoer Yaoyao, "Those people just said that the movie can't be passed, and it can't be passed, but there is no hint at all about what can't be passed!"

"I'm afraid the reason why it can't be passed is not because of the content of the movie, but because of the lawsuit!" Wang Yanling's EQ is much higher than that of her husband, and she immediately thought that the movie could not pass the review not because the content was not good, but because of external reasons.

"I guess this is also the reason, it's just that Mr. Li and Xiaolei put all the money on this movie, if I can't release the movie because of me, how can I explain to them, I just wouldn't have fought that lawsuit back then!"

"It's already like this, let's find a way to solve it, or you can find your former friends and see what they can do!"

"I found it, it didn't work, so Jin Sanye spoke politely, when the others heard that I was coming, most of them hid and disappeared, and even if they did, they said that there was no way to do it!" Chen Xiaoer sighed.

"There is no endless road, Lei Weidong is so talented, he must have thought of the current situation when he chose you as the leading actor, and the reason why he is still looking for you shows that he has the certainty of breaking the game!" Wang Yanling comforted.

"Now I can only hope that Xiao Lei, Mr. Li has a miracle!" Chen Xiaoer sighed helplessly, lit another cigarette and smoked.

Ding Ding Ding!

Chen Xiaoer's phone rang.

"Jin Sanye, what are you looking for me!"

"Come to your office tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll be on time tomorrow at half past eight!"

"What is Jin Sanye looking for you?"

Seeing her husband put down the phone, Wang Yanling asked with concern.

"I don't know, but seeing me at this time can only be a movie thing, I hope things will turn around!" Chen Xiaoer looked out the window, and he began to pray silently in his heart, who never worshipped God.

"Xiao Er is here!" Looking at Chen Xiaoer's restrained appearance in front of him, Jin Sanye smiled.

A lot of people are like that, they don't hit the south wall and don't look back!

Chen Xiaoer's lawsuit cannot be said to be wrong, but it cannot be said to be right!

The core reason for this is that the state does not pay attention to copyright.

If in Europe and the United States, Hong Kong these capitalist countries!

Before the actor takes the stage!

The copyright problem was solved.

Hong Kong TVB, so many popular programs.

All the profits were made by the TV station, and the actors got some leftovers, and they couldn't have any opinions.

Whoever puts forward an opinion will be banned!

Andy, one of the Four Heavenly Kings!

Just because I didn't want to sign a long-term contract, I was directly blocked!

In order to live, I finally went to the cinema to sell tickets.

The famous Liang Wuzhi was banned by the Wanwan authorities because of a movie.

The dignified Academy Award actor was downcast and set up a stall on the street!

And what can I say!

They later mixed up, and everyone learned about these hardships!

And those actors who ended up in obscurity because they were banned don't know how many!

Whom do they talk to?

"Brother Jin!" Chen Xiaoer shouted respectfully.

"You, this temper should have changed, otherwise how could it be mixed up in today's situation!" Jin Sanye said with some regret.

"Brother Jin, I'm in my forties now, and after half a lifetime, this temper can't be changed!" Chen Xiaoer sighed, "I know that my temper is like a stone in that latrine, smelly and hard, but what can be done, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change!"

"Well, this is the Chen Xiaoer I know, if you still have the attitude just now, I doubt that your head was touched by a stone and you have amnesia!"

"Brother Jin said that he was joking! I don't know how many people I have offended and how many people I have hurt with my temper! If it weren't for me, I wouldn't have a clue why "Nightclub" would have been clueless until now!

"So you Chen Xiaoer are lucky, you met a noble person when you were the most down, although this noble person is a little young!" Jin Sanye patted Chen Xiaoer's shoulder and comforted.

"What do you think of Lei Weidong and Li Yan?"

"Li Yan is relatively simple!" Chen Xiaoer said, "Her family is wealthy, her father is a famous real estate developer in the magic capital, and he has a very large real estate company, so he can say that his life is worry-free, otherwise he can't take out millions of dollars to make a movie for Lei Weidong, so that Lei Weidong !!"

Chen Xiaoer pondered for a while and said, "He is a very talented person, otherwise he would not be able to make movies independently before the age of twenty and be able to speak, but in the process of dating, I feel that his character is a little cowardly, and he doesn't like to talk very much!"

In addition, the family conditions are average, and he has developed a more frugal style of doing things, and he usually eats box lunches with everyone, and there is nothing special about living in the cheapest hotel!

Li Yan gave him 250,000 yuan for the director, except for 30,000 yuan for his family, the rest were put in the bank, he is a person who can live, except for being a little lustful!

When filming movies, the attention is always on the beauties such as Li Bin and Fan Bin!"

"Young people have the shortcoming of being lustful!" Jin Sanye half-jokingly. "Xiao Er, you have a high opinion of this Lei Weidong, do you want to recruit him as your son-in-law!"

"How is it possible, my daughter is still young, can I tell Lei Weidong, Xiao Lei, you get married later, wait for your wife, she is still in elementary school. Because everyone is very familiar with each other, Chen Xiaoer did not get angry at Jin Sanye's joke, but ridiculed him.

"Brother Jin, listening to your tone, it seems that "Nightclub" has been reviewed!"

"Otherwise, how can you say that Lei Weidong is your nobleman!" Jin Sanye said with a smile, "The film you shot caused a sensation at the Toronto Film Festival, won honor for the country, and made the faces of the leaders above also shine, I came to you this time to talk about the release of "Nightclub".

Do you go with the same share model as before, or do you just buy it out at a fixed price?"

"Buy it out!" Chen Xiaoer smiled bitterly: "I know how ugly the movie theaters below are, stealing the box office is too powerful, it is better to buy out, you can make more money, Brother Jin, you can make a price, if you can, I will report to Mr. Li, and sign the contract." ”

"Little Er, you are really much more mature!" Jin Sanye nodded.

"Now the market is not good, I can't give you too high a price, last year's highest-grossing domestic film was Feng Gangcang's "See You or Leave", with a box office of 40 million, the box office of "Nightclub" can't be calculated like this, although it caused a sensation abroad, Lei Weidong's popularity in the film industry is too low.

I'll give you a discount, count it as 20 million box office!

According to the market situation, the film company can generally get a 30% box office share, that is, 6 million!

But this is a theoretical value, in practice it is likely that there is no such a high profit, after all, you still have to pay taxes, I will press a price with you, five million, okay, if you can, sign the contract and pay!"

"Five million!"

Hear the numbers!

Chen Xiaoer was a little uncertain!

In terms of investment, it is definitely a big profit to be able to recover 5 million "Nightclub"!

But according to the market!

Jin Sanye paid such a high price, obviously his profit was greater, if he insisted on it, the money in hand would definitely exceed five million.

But is it appropriate to offend the leaders of China Film Group for the sake of just one or two million?

Don't look at Jin Sanye is only the vice president now, but according to his age and qualifications, the upper position is inevitable.

In addition, when Lei Weidong went abroad, he told himself that as long as the price of the mainland screening is more than 3 million, he can agree to it, and now he has bid 5 million, so he should accept it when he sees it!

"Yes, Brother Jin, the mainland screening rights of "Nightclub" are bought out, at a fixed price, five million!"

"You agreed, don't you have to report to Lei Weidong and Li Yan?"

"No, Brother Jin, Lei Weidong specially explained before going abroad, as long as the price is right, I can make a decision, no need to ask for instructions!"

"Okay, you draft the agreement, and we'll sign the contract!"
