The leaders of the Film Bureau expressed a warm welcome and sincere greetings to Tang En's arrival, expressed great concern for strengthening cooperation between China and the United States, and made long-term arrangements for deepening the friendship between the two sides.

In short, Don received a lot of courtesy.

As an international friend, I also participated in a film industry seminar with a lot of specifications.

At the seminar, the filmmakers paid more attention to the "Film Promotion Law," which is related to their vital interests, and the leaders paid more attention to the affairs of the World Chinese Film Festival, which was related to their official achievements.

Don didn't care, of course, in his opinion, both things were very unremarkable.

It's just a void and a snake.

In the end, it was the leaders who had more right to speak, and in Tang En's limited time, he was more expected to put forward valuable opinions on the establishment of the "World Chinese Film Festival".

Tang En didn't need to hide his secrets, so he said very seriously: "If you want to run a good film festival, especially a world-class film festival, you must have an accurate founding idea." For example, among the three major film festivals in Europe, the Berlin Film Festival is characterized by being more serious and political; the Venice Film Festival pays attention to the avant-garde nature of film and encourages film experimentation and innovation; and the Cannes Film Festival likes masters and humanities. ”

"The emperor has to hold a film festival, first of all, we must have a clear positioning. Is it a A-category film, a B-category film festival, or a C-category film festival? There are thousands of film festivals around the world, and there are 11 A-category film festivals. There is no need to look good, and ridiculous and ridiculous film festivals like the 'Rome Chinese Film Festival' will not only not promote Chinese films in the slightest, but will become a laughing stock. ”

Don is a foreigner, so he doesn't need to be scrupulous when he speaks.

Lao Mouzi's complaint at the dinner table yesterday can be said through his mouth.

What is the significance of the Chinese Film Festival in Rome?

Specially went abroad to give awards to the films made by the leaders of the film academy?

Brush up on international prestige?

What is the basis for evaluating job titles?

Miss Zhang's complaint is not unreasonable, Tang En wants to donate, it is really necessary to donate to the Academy of Drama.

The leaders were very serious, holding a small notebook and trying to record something, and finally the big leader spoke: "If we want to do it, we will hold an A-level film festival!

Tang En had already guessed it, but shook his head and said, "It's difficult! In my opinion, it's more reliable to hold a C-class film festival." In addition to the three major European film festivals, including 8 A-class film festivals such as Tokyo and Montreal, they have all been reduced to second-rate, and they can only drink soup behind the butts of the three major film festivals and pick some of the leftovers. Even if the Chinese-language film festival will also be oriented to foreign-language films, it started too late and has lost the opportunity to compete for the market. ”

A leader said: "We have a market!"

A leader said: "We have a policy!"

Another leader said: "We have 1.3 billion people!"

Another leader said: "We have the fastest GDP growth rate in the world!"

Donn was speechless.

The filmmakers present also said: "Actually, it's good to hold a C-category film festival, which is mainly screened and does not award awards." If we can attract enough excellent films to participate in the exhibition, or even come to premiere, then the fame of our Chinese film festival will be hit. ”

Another filmmaker said: "Indeed, C-category film festivals are not necessarily worse than A-category film festivals." In the past few years, in addition to the three major film festivals in Europe, the most popular film festival is not the remaining eight A-category film festivals, but the C-category Toronto Film Festival! ”

Donn laughed and said, "That's true, why is the Toronto Film Festival so strong? Because Toronto is backed by North America, the world's largest film market. In the same way, the Cannes Film Festival is so powerful because Cannes is the largest film trading platform in Europe. Running a film festival is the same as opening a hypermarket, and it is enough to be able to exhibit and sell money!"

The leader was satisfied, "Mr. Walker, you mean...... The mainland market is completely comparable to the North American film market and the European film market?"

As long as the market-oriented reform is firm enough and the power is delegated to the maximum extent on the basis of reasonable supervision, the film market can be allowed to flourish and grow rapidly. After all, it has the world's largest population base and the fastest growing economy. ”

China's film reform has had two major changes before.

The first is the cancellation of unified sales and purchase in 93, and the second is the theater reform in 02.

But in fact, the policy has been issued, and it is not implemented at all.

If it weren't for the birth of "Hero" and the formation of an industrial promotion policy, Chinese films would still be lifeless.

The leader said very seriously: "Resolutely implementing the reform of the film market is our unshakable basic policy for the next step!"

The filmmakers were all excited, as if they had seen the arrival of spring in Chinese films.

began to offer ideas one after another.

"As long as the reform policy is put in place, our film market can take off quickly!"

"It's so easy to get a film festival. Our film market is getting bigger and more important, which will inevitably attract the attention of foreign film companies. As long as the Chinese Film Festival introduces a policy, only the films that come here to participate in the exhibition can be distributed in China!

"Yes, yes, yes! When the time comes, those foreign films will have to rush to participate in the exhibition in order to be released in our country, even if they are Hollywood stars, they will have to come in batches!"

"Haha, maybe it's crying and shouting to come to the imperial capital for the premiere!"

……

Don was a little dumbfounded.

looked at this group of laughing filmmakers in a daze, and a word came to mind - mental retardation!

What kind of bad idea is this?

The problem of Chinese films seems to be far more than just a problem of leadership!

It's a fool everywhere.

Including Lao Mouzi, they all think that this way of promoting the World Discourse Film Festival through the method of "exhibition can be released" is very feasible.

In contrast, it was the leaders who were more prescient.

"Nonsense! Now is a market economy, how can we use policies to forcibly intervene?" The big leader who presided over the meeting immediately interrupted the group of filmmakers, and glanced at Don carefully, and said with a smile, "We will definitely abide by the trade agreement of TO and welcome Hollywood's excellent films with a free and open mind." ”

Tang En smiled slightly, "I understand!"

At present, the national policy is centered on economic development.

To put it bluntly, it is to make a fortune in a muffled voice.

TO is free trade, which is aimed at both sides. As a result, the other party opened the market and accepted everything, but it was too much for his side to use administrative intervention!

Even if you use administrative intervention, you have to keep a low profile, right? Quietly don't be caught in real hands, right?

Hold a film festival, and then tell the world in a high-profile manner that we in China just don't abide by the TO agreement, what do you love!

This is crazy, right?

It was not until 2012 that the United States signed a memorandum of understanding with China on resolving issues related to TO films in response to TO's film default. If you dare to make such a moth now, not to mention that the leaders of the film bureau will step down, the overall economic situation of the country's thriving economy will be deeply affected.

Don has seen the devastating power of a trade war.

Sensitive topic, did not continue.

The leader cleverly changed the topic and said some other relatively easy proposals.

Tang En also said in a timely manner, saying that he attaches great importance to the Chinese film market, and will deepen the cooperation between New Universal and Chinese films in the future, and in the next two years, there will be two blockbuster movies with Chinese elements released around the world, one is the animated film "Kung Fu Panda" and the other is the live-action movie "Mulan".

In this way, we will further bring Chinese temperament to the world.

This naturally attracted a burst of surprises from the leaders.

This kind of image project is very important, especially Hollywood movies, which have too much influence! It is much stronger than investing heavily in building Confucius Institutes abroad to fool foreigners and show the strength of a great country.

Next, Tang En naturally mentioned the real estate project of the magic capital, expressing his willingness to deepen the cooperation between the two sides and derive more peripheral industries through movies.

In short, there are many benefits!

The leaders were delighted.

When Tang En said that he planned to donate 100 million yuan to the Academy of Drama to help China's film industry, the leaders were even happier.
