Chapter 1255 Policy Restrictions
Oriental DreamWorks Hollywood Division. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
From time to time, there was a hearty laugh from Bobble's office, and every employee who passed by could clearly hear it, and they all smiled knowingly.
The young Chinese boss's new film was once again a box office hit in the rice film market, and Mr. Barber was naturally in a good mood.
In the office, Bobble was holding a fax with a smile on his face and laughing.
And Smith and Alva sat on the side, both beaming.
The recent box office statistics of the United States Film Association have come out, and the box office data of "Fast and Furious" in the United States has reached more than 800 million yuan in the United States, once again refreshing the box office record of Chinese films in the United States.
Even Hollywood's homegrown blockbusters are missing from box office performance like "Fast and Furious".
In the past few years, under the management of Bobber, the Hollywood branch of Oriental DreamWorks has been thriving, with the support of Yang Ming's endless blockbuster scripts in his previous life, as well as Barber's contacts in Hollywood for many years, under the vertical and horizontal alliance, Oriental DreamWorks' fame can be described as in the limelight in Hollywood.
This made many Hollywood filmmakers who chose to join Oriental DreamWorks also breathe a sigh of relief, and they are glad for the wise decision they made.
Alva is one of them.
Previously, he was the head of business for Pan American Entertainment in China, but unfortunately after Barber left Pan American Entertainment, he was not treated well by Corkley.
So in a fit of rage, he chose to resign, defected to Barber, and joined Oriental DreamWorks.
In the past few years, he has watched Oriental DreamWorks grow step by step to the point where it is today, while Pan American Entertainment on the other side has been weakening, and his heart is really happy.
He longed to know immediately if the face of the councillor was as gloomy as ever.
Thinking of this, Alva's heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but say: "Mr. Bobble, there seems to be something wrong with Pan American Entertainment, I heard that Cockley went to CAA today and came back, his face was very ugly, and then he called the people from the legal department and the finance department over for a meeting, and it was reported that the box office revenue of their "Speed Drift" would not be shared with CAA. ”
Barber, who was holding a cigar and laughing happily, suddenly heard Alva's words, his smile slowly retracted, and then he glanced at Alva with great meaning, and said, "As far as you know, why would Corkley do such a thing regardless of his identity?"
"They're out of the chain!" replied Alva confidently.
After saying this, he looked at Bobble even more with burning eyes, and Alva believed that no one understood what he meant better than Bobble.
Pan Am Entertainment!
Although Barber's heart has become extremely hard no matter how many ups and downs he has experienced, every time he hears this name, which has put so much effort into it, he always feels a heartache in his heart.
He really didn't expect that just a few years later, Pan Am's financial situation would reach this point.
Corkley is no ordinary incompetent.
Barber couldn't help but feel a sad thought.
Pan Am Entertainment, as one of the six giants of Hollywood, can be said to be as long as it develops steadily, even if a few movies lose money every year, it will not hurt the overall situation.
No film company can guarantee that all the films shot every year will be a big hit.
Nor can God have such luck.
With Barber laying the foundation for Pan Am Entertainment for so many years, as long as Corkley doesn't mess around, Pan Am Entertainment's position in Hollywood will not be shaken for at least ten years, and there will be no crisis in its operations.
But now that Pan American Entertainment is in a financial crisis, it is obvious that Corkley is incompetent to the extreme.
Watching Pan American Entertainment, which has stepped into the Hollywood giant step by step in his hands, now degenerate to such a point, it is impossible to say that Barber is not sad.
Alva is not Bobble, and does not understand Bobble's inner love for Pan American Entertainment.
Although Barber was swept out of Pan American Entertainment by Corkley, and his heart must be full of complaints about Cokeley, this does not mean that he has the same thoughts about Pan American Entertainment.
Unlike Alva, there are also those who have been purged out of Pan Amuse's door because of the Barber brand on their bodies, they are full of hatred for Pan Amic Entertainment in their hearts, and they wish Pan Am Entertainment could close its doors now.
They can't stand this ruthless purge.
Otherwise, Alva would not have cared so much about Pan Am Entertainment's every move, and even inquired about various news through various previous relationships in Pan America.
If this kind of thing spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar, and a bad Oriental DreamWorks may cause legal trouble.
This shows how much Alva hates Corkley and Pan American Entertainment in his heart.
There are not a few people like Alva who joined Oriental DreamWorks after leaving Pan American Entertainment.
There is no way for Alva alone to find out the first-hand inside story of Pan American Entertainment in such a short period of time, and there must be other people behind him.
Bobble couldn't help but close his eyes slightly, and a trace of pain flashed in his heart.
Pan Am Entertainment.
This is a place where he gave his youth.
From the brink of bankruptcy that year, he spent a lot of effort to recover the defeat, and then through decades of operation, he slowly restored the glory of Pan American Entertainment.
But all this has been done useless in the face of the power of capital.
In Mr. Corkley's eyes, Pan Am Entertainment was just an ATM and a tool to fuel his personal fame.
And not his career.
A glimmer of sharpness flashed in the depths of Bobble's eyes, since Pan American Entertainment was destined to sink, then it could only be handled by him himself.
After making a decision in his heart, the whole person seemed to be much more relaxed, and muttered, "It's time to get back everything that once belonged to me." ”
Although his voice was not high, Alva heard it, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, and no one knew Bobble's influence in Pan American Entertainment better than him.
Especially now, with Pan Am Entertainment's successive stupid losses, there are more and more people within Pan Am Entertainment who miss Bobble.
An old man who used to be at the helm of Pan Am Entertainment has an influence in Pan Am Entertainment that no one else can imagine.
Meanwhile, in an elegant secluded café in Hollywood.
Harrison was chatting and laughing with a man in a suit.
Spencer Moore, a middle-level official at the Film Association of the United States, looked at Harrison sitting across from him, although he was smiling, but he was quite surprised in his heart, and kept thinking about whether the other party suddenly asked him out today, was it just to sit here and drink a cup of coffee and then say some innocuous jokes?
You must know that the other party is a giant in Hollywood, and time should not be free to this point!
At this moment, Harrison took a sip of coffee, then elegantly put down the cup in his hand, and said casually: "Spencer, I don't mean to interfere with the work of the Film Association, but I don't understand why Chinese-language films can be released for a month at the United States Film Market?"
- Knock knock.
Speaking of this, Harrison's fingers flicked the coffee cup a few times, making a crisp sound, staring at Spencer with deep meaning: "You must know that our Hollywood films are not only limited by the number of imported films in China now, but also the release time must not exceed one month, and the transaction should be based on fairness, I don't think the film association wants to see this kind of thing!"
Spencer suddenly heard Harrison's words, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, and at the same time, a thought popped up in his heart: It seems that the movie of that Chinese young man has finally made some people in Hollywood jealous, and they are going to target and restrict each other.
But his brow furrowed, and he felt powerless.
Can this kind of thing be decided by him? Not to mention him, even the film association feels very powerless.
Huaxia's market development is targeted.
Not only the United States, but also including Europe, which national team is not deeply hated by the Huaxia government's decision-making?
Especially the unreasonable Ministry of Commerce, it is simply the style of the military hawks to the end, whether it is the United States or Europe, which country has not suffered from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce?
At the beginning, China and the United States decided to develop each other's cultural markets.
The film industry is just one of them.
The United States said that Chinese-language films can be released in the United States film market unconditionally, and only the theater companies in the United States can buy it, and the Film Association will never interfere in this kind of economic behavior.
At the same time, the United States also hopes that China will completely relax the restrictions on the cultural industry and the two sides will compete freely.
But after some investigation, the Ministry of Commerce of Huaxia overturned the request of the government of the United States, no!
They don't care what the film market is like in the United States, but if Hollywood films want to enter the Chinese film market, they must accept quantitative restrictions, and the release time is also very limited.
When the Mi government heard that the Ministry of Commerce of China had made such a domineering negotiation request, it was so angry that it almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood.
This is simply the style of bandits.
But what can the government of the United States do?
The decision made by the Huaxia government is to represent the will of all countries in the entire Greater East Asian Greater Chinese Cultural Circle, and if Huaxia decides not to open the cultural market, then the entire East Asian cultural market will also not be open.
Obviously, the Chinese government realizes that once the cultural market is completely opened, the local cultural industry will definitely be greatly impacted.
In this way, the Chinese government naturally hopes to avoid this, but market development is the trend of the times, so the Ministry of Commerce has definitely made restrictive development decisions, on the one hand, to maintain the image of free competition in China, and on the other hand, it can play a stimulating role in the local cultural industry.
It is hoped that the local cultural industry can catch up under this stimulus, and until one day it can fully compete with the impact of Hollywood blockbusters, Huaxia will consider completely lifting restrictions on the cultural industry.
It's just that the Huaxia government didn't expect to stimulate it for more than ten years, and these domestic uncles are entangled in the battle of commercial art all day long, and they don't have the hard work of the top management at all.
The Ministry of Commerce, which can make the trade negotiations between the United States and the West angry, is almost not so angry that the domestic masters vomit blood.
It's too uncompetitive.
In the past few years, a Yang Ming has suddenly appeared, this young man has risen like a comet in the entertainment industry, and entered the international market in one fell swoop, repeatedly breaking various records, and washing away all kinds of shame suffered by Chinese films abroad, which made the Ministry of Commerce a little relieved.
Finally a decent talent has come out.
What really makes the Ministry of Commerce happy is that under the leadership of Yang Ming, many domestic film companies have also changed their views, imitated Yang Ming's success, and began to shoot and produce films, which gradually opened up the situation in the international market.
Although it is powerless to resist the impact of Hollywood blockbusters for the time being, it at least gives people hope.
In order to allow the domestic film industry to have a better room for growth, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Culture have joined hands to resist a lot of pressure from the government of the United States, and have never agreed to completely open up the cultural market.
It's just that there is all the relaxation in the number of films introduced and the commercial time.
From 10 a year, to 15, 20 a year, and now 35 a year.
From half a month after its release, to 18 days, 20 days, and now a month!
It can be said that the regression of the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Culture in the development of the film industry market is simply like squeezing toothpaste, developing the market little by little.
But there was nothing they could do.
Huaxia is too strong in this world.
Because China is not only China, but the foreign policies of all countries in the entire Greater Chinese Cultural Circle in East Asia are keeping up with the pace of China.
Huaxia says yes, then it does, Huaxia says open, then open, Huaxia says restriction, then restrict.
Unless the United States wants to completely abandon the entire East Asian film market, they will have to bear the unreasonable and domineering demands of the Chinese side.
But now that Yang Ming's movies are selling at the box office in the United States, Hollywood didn't take it to heart, thinking that this Chinese genius was just a flash in the pan.
But now this young Chinese genius has not only repeatedly broken Hollywood's box office records, but also taken the lead in breaking the single-day box office record of breaking 100 million yuan that even Hollywood has not broken, and it has touched Hollywood's sensitive nerves at once.
In particular, the increasingly strong performance of Yang Ming's films in the rice film market has completely made many Hollywood film companies feel threatened.
Harrison is one of them.
So, he asked Spencer out today, and said something like this.
Hollywood films are not only limited in terms of quantity, but also in terms of release time, which is simply an unequal commercial cooperation treaty.
As long as Chinese films are connected in the United States cinema line, as long as there is box office revenue, they will not be limited by the number and time at all.
Originally, the poor box office performance of Chinese films in the United States film market made Hollywood not interested in this, and if it is not restricted, it is good that it is not restricted, anyway, Chinese films in the United States are almost all unadaptable reactions, even if there are a few films that can achieve a good box office, it is only a very few.
But now there is Yang Ming, the demon, whose performance in the rice film market has swept the box office, made Harrison and some people deeply feel jealous.
Even if this is just an isolated phenomenon, Yang Ming is the only one in the Chinese film industry who has done this, which is enough to make Harrison and others feel a great threat.
Be sure to limit the growth of the other person.
Harrison thought about the government level, and today I want to talk about Spencer's tone, whether the film association can come forward, and Dimei Pictures will continue to hide behind.
