With the completion of the filming of "Blind Well", the rest of the editing work is Li Yang's business, and Shao Gong and Bao Qiang have returned to Sanyuanli. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Baoqiang also eats as a waiter at a snack bar, Shao Gong still goes to the bar to sing, but the songs he created are all songs that have registered their own copyrights, and he will never write and sing songs that have not obtained his own copyright certificate.

As another two months passed, the capital entered winter again. In this weather, Li Yang called Shaogong and invited him to a hot pot city, saying that he had something to discuss, so that he could bring Baoqiang. But when Shaogong and the two arrived, Li Yang was the only one in the private room.

He beckoned the two to sit down, and then took out several registration forms from his briefcase, asking Shao Gong to fill in his name in the positions of screenwriter and assistant director, while Bao Qiang wanted to fill in his name in the starring role.

As for that, Li Yang has already filled in his name in the director and producer.

Seeing that Shaogong was watching it very seriously, Li Yang got juice for the two of them and said, "Our movie, as we know, was banned by the state." But I'm not going to give up, the world is big! If you ban it here, I'll go elsewhere to find a way. ”

"Director Li, don't we all need state support for our films to participate in exhibitions abroad?" Shao Gong doesn't know about going abroad to participate in exhibitions, he just thinks that a country will always have a few excellent films every year, and those films are valued by the country and will strongly support them to participate in foreign exhibitions, but he doesn't know how to go abroad to participate in independent films to them.

"That's just one of the ways you're talking about. ”

Li Yang took a sip of wine, ate another piece of fat cow, and beckoned the two to chat while eating: "For a long time, the appearance of Chinese films on the international screen mainly depends on the government's preparation of various film festivals overseas, and later with the rise of China's economy, the promotion of such film festivals has increased day by day.

However, this kind of film festival is mutually beneficial, for example, if you launch ten films to the international market this year, you also have to introduce ten films, and then the two exchange with each other, if your film is really good enough, the major film festivals will naturally send you an invitation, and then the country can strongly support you to take the film to the international competition. For example, in the 80s of the last century, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others, who quickly surfaced by relying on international awards, are in this way.

In this day and age, international information is overflowing, especially with the advent of electronic information, and some film festivals have allowed independent films to sign up for the competition in the pioneering spirit of discovering excellent films. The marginality of these films, the individuality of their style, and the unconventional nature of their images have been praised by the judges of individual film festivals, and they have also made many young directors and screenwriters who are interested in filmmaking.

However, compared with these two models, it is the most direct and effective way to enter the mainstream cinemas of overseas countries in accordance with the internationally popular commercial operation model based on co-productions. But this kind of money is needed, a lot of money, and it must be backed by film and television companies.

For our movie, the country is hopeless, and the money is not particularly sufficient, so we can only rely on the second type to sign up for the competition. Speaking of this, Li Yang smiled brightly: "It just so happens that our film is marginalized and stylized, so there should be impressive results." ”

Shao Gong kept flipping through those registration forms, and said while flipping them back: "Treasure Island Golden Horse Film Festival, Berlin International Film Festival, Deauville Asian Film Festival in France, are there just these three??" Then he looked at Li Yang and said: "The Golden Horse Award for Treasure Island Film, the Golden Rooster Award for Chinese Films, and the Hong Kong Film Awards are known as the three major awards for Chinese films in Asia, and the gold content is very high, can our film get that honor?"

"You only know one thing, you don't know the other. ”

Li Yang said: "At present, the three major European film festivals with a long history in the world -- Berlin focus on politics and sociality; Cannes has the largest film market, emphasizing the combination of business and art; and Venice is more fond of eccentrics who go off the rails."

Our film is not a sword, nor is it commercial and artistic, but it is only political and social, so the Berlinale is my first choice. And these awards in Asia, the Hong Kong Film Awards are similar to Cannes and Venice, we like commercial, artistic, and sideways films, we don't have them, the Chinese Golden Rooster Awards, our film is banned, it shows that its problems are the same as Berlin, like politics and sociality, but the Chinese Golden Rooster Awards only love to promote China's history, political stability and social glory of the film, our film is to discredit it, and it is understandable to be banned.

But the reported Golden Horse Awards are not so taboo, it is all-encompassing, history, politics, art, business, and eccentrics who go off the rails, as long as it thinks that your movie is new and helpful, it will give you the honor you deserve. ”

"Help, how can our film help it??"

Regarding this question, Shao Gong pretended to be confused. But Li Yang didn't know that he knew some inside stories, so he still said eloquently: "Baodao has always had problems with the mainland, and our movie is to discredit the mainland, what do you think it will do!!"

"Got it??, but we're not going to get into trouble like this, are we??"

Filmmakers are involved in the political factor, will they still have a good one?

"No, to put it bluntly, this is just a movie, and it also reflects real events, although it has smeared the mainland, but our original intention is to wipe the glass for the country, and want those stains to disappear, not more and more black. ”

Li Yang saw that Shaogong looked a little worried, shook his head and said with a smile: "The affairs between Baodao and the mainland are not something that can be controlled by a movie, this is a problem left over from history, and it is a contest between politics, economy, and military. We don't care about those remarks, I care about the honor I deserve. ”

"Do you deserve the honor??"

Shao Gong raised his wine glass, touched one with Li Yang in the air, and sneered in his heart: "This person is extremely selfish, and his heart is full of personal honors. Thinking of this, Shaogong's belly black energy came up again.

The three of them chatted while eating, Shao Gong and Li Yang chatted enthusiastically, and the words were like brothers, although Bao Qiang interjected some words from time to time, he was silent more often.

During this meal, because Li Yang drank a lot, Bao Qiang took a taxi back, Shao Gong sent Li Yang home, and helped Li Yang's wife arrange him properly, before respectfully saying goodbye to the aunt and taking a taxi back to Sanyuanli.

At this time, Bao Qiang was waiting for him at Shaogong's new residence, and when he got out of the taxi, Bao Qiang stopped Shao Gong at the door and said: "Shaogong, I feel that what Director Li said is not wrong, although we are not famous, but we can't earn fame by discrediting the country, you go and persuade him, don't let him do this, okay??"

"That, I can't be the master, Director Li is an investor and a listed director, I am only an assistant director and screenwriter, recommending Brother Bao to act is already the biggest master I can do, and I have no say in the rest. ”

Seeing Bao Qiang's stubbornness, Shao Gong patted him on the shoulder and said, "If I were to be the main filmmaker in the future, I would naturally not do that." But now we don't have our own strength, we only have a little opportunity to contact this circle under the roof of the host, we are just insignificant little feet, just do our best. The rest, it's not something we can control. ”

After that, Shao Gong watched Bao Qiang leave a little lonely, looked up at the waning moon in the sky, and sighed long: "No wonder after Rihou Baoqiang became popular, he only mentioned the matter of "Blind Well", it turns out that this root has been buried from now on. Then he shook his head with a wry smile, and his eyes showed firmness: "Li Yang, you can only use it, not make deep friends." Then I went to the bar.

The days after that were very peaceful, Shao Gong didn't receive any director's recommendation for him to work in the crew, but he was strong, and I heard that he sent money to his family, and then he worked day after day.

But just when the Chinese New Year was about to begin, a guest came to the entertainment bar and asked to see Shaogong by name. For this person, Ouyang Ke didn't dare to slack off, because that person was accompanied by Sister Jin, so he called Shaogong to come here quickly.

But when Shao Gong saw the visitor, the cheongsam woman was indeed Sister Jin, who became popular in the future by commenting on her poisonous tongue, but the other person was a middle-aged man in his forties with medium stature, slightly fat, and glasses.

"Brother Ke, who are these two??"

Shao Gong looked at Ouyang Ke and asked a little uncertainly, "Who wants to see me!!" Half of his words were for Ouyang Ke, and the other half was for Sister Jin and the middle-aged man.

Upon hearing this, Sister Jin sneered and said, "Xiao Shaogong, we want to see you." And I've seen you a long time ago, it's just that you don't know. Ouyang Ke also smiled and introduced: "This is the symbol of our Chinese modern dancers, Ms. Jin Hao." Then he looked at the middle-aged man and said, "This is Liu Yi from the CCTV TV Drama Production Center, Director Liu, I came this time to buy the production copyright of the second TV series of "Liu Laogen" with you." ”

Seeing Shaogong's surprised expression gradually opening his mouth wide, Liu Yi smiled and said: "After the first part of "Liu Laogen" was filmed and released, it received a great response, and the audience loved this TV series to the extreme. Therefore, the leaders of the CCTV production center considered asking Benshan to make a sequel, but Benshan Film and Television Group did not have the copyright of this drama, so they introduced Ms. Jin Yi over, saying that the script was originally given to him by Ms. Jin Hao, so today we took the liberty to visit, as for the copyright fee, you say a price, as long as it is not a lion with a big mouth, I can give you a clap here. ”

"It's no problem to shoot TV series, but I have registered the copyright of "Liu Laogen", and I can only sell the copyright of the TV series to you, as for the commercial copyright, I will not sell it. ”

Shao Gong looked at Liu Yi and said with a serious expression: "The second part of "Liu Laogen" is twenty-two episodes, and the copyright fee for the first eighteen episodes is 100,000, but now its value has risen after it is released, so the copyright fee should be increased accordingly, I think 300,000 is enough." In addition, CCTV has permanent film and television shooting bases in Zhuozhou, Wuxi, and the South China Sea, and I want CCTV to give me a permanent written certificate of preferential policies. As soon as the words of 300,000 came out, Jin Yu and Ouyang Ke's faces suddenly changed. But when he heard that he wanted to make another request, he froze a little.

Hearing this price code, Liu Yi laughed, and immediately clapped his head and said: "What we want is the copyright of the TV series, as for the commercial copyright, anyway, I don't see what commercial value it has, you want 300,000 no problem, and there is no problem with the preferential written proof of the filming policy of the film and television base, so it's decided." As he spoke, he was slightly stunned: "When will the script be given to me!"

"Ten minutes later. ”

After Shao Gong finished speaking, he immediately turned around and ran out, then went to the house in his new residence to take out the script, ran back in a few minutes, and looked at Liu Yi breathlessly as soon as he entered the door: "I have already written the script of this second part." After speaking, he showed it to Liu Yi.

"Well, yes, yes, your script is not a big problem, and the content is connected to the previous one, and the content reflected is also a theme that the people like. Liu Yi nodded with satisfaction: "That, is your passbook deposited for settlement?" If so, tell me the passbook number, and after the center leaders see it and decide to invest in filming, we will directly pay the copyright fee into your fold. "In today's society, there are two types of passbooks without bank cards: "savings passbook" and "settlement passbook". Among them, the "settlement passbook" can accept remittances, but the "savings passbook" cannot.

After Shaogong signed the distribution copyright of the physical book of "Zhu Xian" with Sanmin Publishing House, he made a settlement passbook, but he did not expect that the money for the physical book of Zhu Xian had not yet arrived, and the copyright fee for the second part of "Liu Laogen" would arrive first.

After the two parties signed the contract, Liu Yi walked out with the script, Jin Yi hurriedly went out to send it off, and Ouyang Ke was a little surprised by Sister Jin's surprised expression just now. A few minutes later, Sister Jin went back upstairs, watched Shaogong drinking a drink, and said with some hatred: "Xiao Shaogong, the CCTV leaders attach great importance to the script of the second part of "Liu Laogen", I have inside information, saying that people plan to use 500,000 yuan to buy the copyright of this second part, you can do it, the export is only 300,000, which can make Liu Yi's guy earn 200,000 yuan nonsensically, you say you are not stupid! We kept giving you a look just now, you can't see it!"

"Really, I sold it cheaply!!"

Shao Gong looked at her with some surprise, and then thought for a while: "But the preferential policy I want is not something that can be measured by 200,000 yuan." In order to attract the crew to come to filming, it claims that there is no charge for the scenes, but the more popular scenes in it will be charged. In addition, the film and television city also has props rental, extras rental, and a series of rentals linked to filming, all of which are side businesses of the film and television city.

Shaogong had heard a small piece of news in his previous life, saying that CCTV's film and television base has a preferential policy, and there are two kinds of written documents, permanent and limited, which are called internal documents. For those crews who don't have documents, the film and television city dares to charge them 500 a day, but for the crews with documents, the film and television city only dares to charge 100, which is five times the difference between up and down, and this is only a written proof of the number of years.

The permanent written certificate has more favorable conditions than the written certificate with a certain number of years, and the price is only half of the cost of the crew with a limited number of years, and the film and television city must give full support to the crew with a permanent written certificate, even if the two crews need this kind of props at the same time, the film and television city must first let the crew with privileges complete the shooting, and then the crew with an unlimited number of years and ordinary crews will be considered.
