Chapter 128 Co-production Film Introduction

Compared with Oriental DreamWorks when it only held a press conference for "2012", the momentum of Zhonghuang Entertainment and Pan American Entertainment is much stronger than that of Oriental DreamWorks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bai Chongshi is also a very decisive person, since he has offended the entire Chinese film circle, he simply made the momentum bigger.

Whether it is a TV station or a newspaper media, under the care of Zhonghuang Entertainment's money and Wang Zuotao's use of family relationships, they have created enough momentum for this joint venture film that has not yet started shooting.

History is written by successful people.

As long as this joint venture film can finally achieve amazing results, it is enough to prove that Zhonghuang Entertainment has not gone wrong.

Therefore, now Bai Chongshi is bent on expanding his advantages as much as possible for this joint venture film.

As for Corkley's side, not to mention, after he returned to the United States, he immediately began to publicize his success in the Chinese film market through the media.

Especially when he succeeded in reaching an agreement with Emperor Entertainment this time, when Bob was in charge of Pan Am Entertainment, this plan was not realized, and he Cockley completed it, and the news spread all over Hollywood in a short period of time under the promotion of Corkley.

Cokeley's reputation in Hollywood has never been good, and after he purged Bob from Pan American Entertainment, his reputation in Hollywood was even worse.

Compared with Bob's dedication to Pan Am Entertainment for so many years, Corkley is more like a treacherous businessman who uses Pan Am's value to the extreme.

For this evaluation, Corkley naturally didn't want to accept it, and now that it is rare to have such a good opportunity, he will certainly not give up.

It's a pity that no matter how hard he spends in the face of him, not only Hollywood's opinion of him has not changed at all, but Bob's side has not responded at all.

Even when a reporter ran up to Bob to interview the former Pan Am General Manager for his views on the matter, Bob did not respond positively, just using the sentence "I am no longer the general manager of Pan American Entertainment, and I have no right to express my opinion on this matter." ”

Cockley's smug pride threw a punch that seemed to hit cotton, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Actually, Cockley himself was overthinking, Bob didn't take this matter to heart at all, he was busy with his own business now.

Within two days, the Hollywood branch of Oriental DreamWorks announced the official start of filming of "Hurricane Rescue", but what was surprising was that the director in charge of the film turned out to be a director from France. Bob, a director who is not Hollywood, also attended the press conference of "Hurricane Rescue" and introduced the French director Xavier to all the reporters present.

However, compared with "Die Hard", which Oriental DreamWorks announced some time ago, the production cost of "Hurricane Rescue" is not very high, only 20 million yuan.

In a short period of time, two films in the Hollywood branch of Oriental DreamWorks have announced the start of shooting, which shows that after the acquisition of Lian Lian Pictures and the arrival of Bob at the helm of the company, the development of Oriental DreamWorks in Hollywood has undergone earth-shaking changes.

This also made many Hollywood people look at this film company, which could only be regarded as a third-rate film company before.

It's just that these two films, one with an investment of 30 million meters and the other with an investment of 20 million meters, cannot attract the attention of other Hollywood studios, and it seems that Bob has begun to follow the initial route he used to take when he was at Pan American Entertainment.

First by shooting some blockbuster low-budget movies, earn a lot of box office, improve their own influence, accumulate strength, and then slowly expand.

Although Bob was successful with this model at Pan American Entertainment, many in Hollywood were not optimistic that he could use it to achieve the same success at Oriental DreamWorks.

Because times are different.

After decades of development, the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, and now most of the resources on the market that can be adapted into movies are already in the hands of those giants.

It's so hard for Bob to succeed by the same means he did twenty years ago.

Of course, it's not impossible, if Oriental DreamWorks' Hollywood branch has classic and excellent scripts every year, maybe Bob can be successful again.

But this is not realistic.

Classic movie scripts are not full of cabbage, and if there is such a script, won't other film companies join the competition?

And with the strength of Oriental DreamWorks, it is impossible to beat those movie giants in the competition.

Therefore, even if Bob announced his investment in two movies in a short period of time, not too many people in Hollywood are optimistic about his success at Oriental DreamWorks.

Yanjing.

After Lin Feng and the old dean and Zhao Xu discussed a special edition of the popcorn network, they handed over this task to Ma Yun.

After Ma Yun received the task arranged by Lin Feng, he acted quickly, and within two days, a special version appeared on the popcorn website that could only be uploaded by students of Yenching Film Academy.

Every user who wants to upload their own videos on this special page must be a student of Yenching Film Academy.

Of course, it is impossible for the website to verify the real identity of each student one by one, but when the video is uploaded, you must fill in your own information, so that the video uploaded on this special website will be followed by the name, class, and college information.

It's impossible for you Jinling Academy of Arts students to pretend to be students of Yenching Film Academy to upload videos, right?

Otherwise, the name of Yenching Film Academy will inevitably be hung on the back of the video you upload, and students from other art academies will certainly not want to.

When the popcorn website came up with this special edition, it immediately caused a sensation among all art academies in China.

Originally, various colleges have begun to pay more and more attention to the exercise of their own students on popcorn networks, and once the videos shot by students are successful, it is simply fame and fortune, especially for their students to enter the entertainment industry in the future.

After all, having this kind of successful shooting experience is still helpful for the new students of the director department to enter the entertainment industry and be able to direct quickly.

The domestic colleges did not expect that the popcorn website would make a special edition for the Yenching Film Academy alone, and in just one day, dozens of students from the Yenching Film Academy uploaded their own short films, and all of them achieved good results.

The other art academies couldn't help but see this, and they carefully studied the special edition of Popcorn for the Yenching Film Academy.

Or it can't be said to be a special edition, but when uploading the video, fill in the author's information, about the option of the academy, there is only one option for the Yenching Film Academy, and you have no other choice.

When other art academies in China learned of this, they immediately began to contact the popcorn website, wanting the website to add their respective colleges to this option, but Ma Yun was hinted by Lin Feng, although he immediately agreed to come down at that time, but because the website had just started testing, it would take a few days to add it.

In this way, for 7 days, Ma Yun dragged on for a whole week to add the names of other art schools in China to the options, but at this time, the students of Yenching Film Academy had already established a certain advantage.

Especially in this whole week, there are only videos uploaded by students of Yenching Film Academy in this special edition, which has left a deep impression on the hearts of countless netizens, and indirectly and invisibly improved the status of Yenching Film Academy in the minds of Chinese people.

That's the main thing.

In the past week, he has received many phone calls from old friends, scolding him for his own selfishness, and he is not aware of the future of countless art students across the country.

When the old dean received a call from these old friends, he naturally replied very unceremoniously, who said that your academy did not have a student as demonic as Lin Feng!

In the face of the old dean's strong answer, many people almost choked up all at once, but fortunately, a week later, the popcorn website was also opened and the names of other colleges were added, so that the matter calmed down.

Lin Feng answered Ma Yun's call, and after hearing the results, he didn't take it to heart, and now he is back in the crew and continues to shoot "2012" on the spot.

Tongtong also returned to the crew with Zhou Meiling for a while, this girl almost didn't go crazy these days, but fortunately, after getting along these days, her relationship with Zhou Meiling has become deeper and deeper, which is still helpful for the filming of the movie.

This time the crew re-filmed, Su Su did not return to the crew, her role has come to an end, and the remaining scenes are estimated to start filming a month later.

However, Lin Feng's parents came to the crew to visit the class, of course, they mainly came to see Tongtong.

In order to shoot "2012", Tongtong also took a long leave from school, although taking such a long leave at Tongtong's age would not have much substantial impact on her studies.

But Lin Xiangming and Li Qiumei are still more worried about Tongtong's future.

Therefore, this time the two of them came over, one was to see Tongtong, and the other was to ask his son, will the youngest daughter also enter the entertainment industry in the future?

However, in addition to Lin Xiangming and Li Qiumei, the two of them came to visit the class, and the brother-in-law Li Xingyi, who had just met, also came with them.

"What's so good about the entertainment industry, with Lin Feng's current identity and status, there is no need for Tongtong to enter the entertainment industry in the future. ”

In the café on the second floor of the hotel, Li Xingyi heard his sister's question about Lin Feng and hurriedly said.

Actually, he originally wanted to say that the children of the Li family were too low-grade to mix in the entertainment industry, after all, even if a star was famous, he would not be able to get on the stage in the eyes of a wealthy family, but when he thought of Lin Feng's own demonic nephew, he swallowed the following words.

There is no way, Lin Feng's achievements in just two years are really amazing.

Even, Li Xingyi guessed that his nephew's net worth was no less than that of an ordinary wealthy family.

Lin Feng heard his mother's concerned questioning, thought carefully about Tongtong's situation in the play recently, and said slowly: "Mom, you don't have to worry, Tongtong is still a child, now she likes acting, maybe it's just a temporary interest, but we don't need to change Tongtong's life, let her do whatever she likes!"

He knew that his parents must be because of the chaos in the entertainment industry, and he was more worried that a girl entering the entertainment industry would be affected in the future, thinking of this, Lin Feng continued domineeringly:

"But even if Tongtong likes acting and enters the entertainment industry, with me, no one can bully her, even if she wants to be the first person in the entertainment industry, I can do it for her!"

"Gentlemen!" Li Xingyi heard Lin Feng's words so arrogantly, and gave a thumbs up to praise Lin Feng.

But he doesn't think that what his nephew said is empty words, as the Li family understands Lin Feng more deeply, the more shocked they become, especially some time ago, Lin Feng went to Hollywood in the United States, spent hundreds of millions of yuan to acquire a film company, and then announced the filming of a big production of 500 million Chinese yuan, which was a great shock to the Li family.

Originally, there were some subordinates of the Li family who still had some complaints about handing over the "Guangyue Daily", the most influential resource in the hands of the Li family, to Lin Feng to take charge, but now they were all shocked by the courage that Lin Feng showed during this time.

"Hmm!" Li Qiumei knew that her son was a calm character, so she didn't say anything after thinking about it.

After all, Tongtong is still young now, and it is very normal for children to show interest in something.

After chatting for a while, Lin Xiangming and Li Qiumei went to find Tongtong, and Li Xingyi stayed, it seems that he must have something to say to Lin Feng.

"When will you take Tongtong to see the old man!" Li Xingyi said.

Lin Feng thought for a while when he heard this, and said, "After a while, but in a few days, Tongtong can go over to see his grandfather first." ”

Now the crew is in the midst of intense filming, and he, as the director, is the core figure of the crew, and he can't leave him for a moment, and he can't withdraw for the time being.

"It's okay!" Li Xingyi nodded casually and said, the purpose of his coming today was naturally not this, I saw that he was silent for a while, and then said cautiously: "Is there anything unpleasant between you and the royal family in the capital?"

When Lin Feng heard this, he couldn't help but look at Li Xingyi with a smile on his face and said, "Uncle, what do you say?"

He didn't believe that Wang Zuotao went to the prison cell because of himself, and his uncle didn't know about such a big thing?

Li Xingyi saw the smile on Lin Feng's face, knew that his mind was seen through by his nephew, and secretly scolded the little fox, and then said with a more solemn expression: "Your brother-in-law and I have also stayed in Yanjing for a period of time before, and many people in Yanjing also know each other, the Wang family is not an ordinary family. ”

"Oh?" Lin Feng's expression moved, he knew that the person his uncle knew must be someone in the same circle as Wang Shao, Young Master of the Ye Family, Hua Mingzhi and others, or ****** more appropriate.

It's just that now listening to my uncle's words, is there anything different about the Wang family?

Seeing Lin Feng's eyes, Li Xingyi was no longer subtle, and directly said what he knew.

"Although it is said that the wealthy families in Yanjing have their own bottom line, and generally will not use any unsavory means, but for those who can threaten them, those families will definitely not be soft, after so many years, they must be very good at exploiting loopholes in the law, maybe they can't buy murder, but it is still very possible to ruin your reputation. ”

"When I was in Yanjing before, I knew that a child of the Wang family had made a female college student's belly bigger outside, but that guy was already married, but because the female college student not only didn't want to kill the child, but also wanted to take the opportunity to coerce the child of the Wang family to divorce him and officially marry him. ”

A week later, the female college student was drugged in a bar, and happened to run into the police anti-pornography, which was reported by the media, and at the same time, the news of the female college student's pregnancy was also poked out by the media, and the reputation of the female college student in the school was stinking all of a stinking. In the end, this female college student was infamous for breaking shoes, she couldn't bear the pressure and committed suicide by jumping off the building!"

Li Xingyi said this in one breath, picked up his coffee, and looked at Lin Feng.

After Lin Feng heard Li Xingyi's words, he sighed faintly in his heart, where there is light, there is darkness, although this female college student is also at fault, but the Wang family's approach is too despicable, one corpse and two lives!

However, his mood was not as good as the story of his uncle, but a little fluctuating, and he said lightly: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and one day they will have retribution." ”

Li Xingyi was a little anxious when he heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Lin Feng, you must pay attention to yourself, the Wang family is not a good bird, if you are in a hurry, they can make it out by any means, you must be careful yourself." "Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your sister and brother-in-law!"

"Hmm!" Lin Feng thought of the consequences of his parents' accident because of his own accident, and couldn't help but nod with a solemn expression. "I'll be careful!"

Wang Zuotao entered the cell, although it was because the evidence in Huang Taiji's possession was the most lethal factor, but he was the most direct reason, reconciliation was impossible, and Lin Feng might also apologize, there were no such words in his dictionary at all.

It's just that with Lin Feng's identity and status now, the general methods of the Wang family are definitely useless.

Lin Feng is even very confident that no matter what means Wang Jiaming uses, he can't help himself, but what if he secretly sees unsavory means?

It seems that I will indeed pay attention to it in the future.

After Lin Feng sent his parents and brother-in-law away with a heavy heart, after returning to the crew, he quickly put these thoughts behind him, and when the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, he didn't believe that the Wang family could cover the sky with one hand.

It's just a big deal, the fish is dead, and he has nothing to fear.

The filming of "2012", because of the strength of the actors this time, progressed very quickly, and it is estimated that in two months, the on-site shooting will be almost completed, and the following is the shooting in the blue screen studio.

More than a month later, when the on-location shooting of "2012" was almost off-site, Lin Feng received a call from Bob.

"Release permit?" Lin Feng asked with his mobile phone, "Could it be that the filming of "Die Hard" has already been completed?"

"Well, it's already post-production, and it's almost finished. Bob said.

Lin Feng thinks about it, the story of "Die Hard" itself is confined to a building, and the crew does not need to move at all for filming, except for action scenes and explosion shots, there is basically no difficulty, and the filming progress must be very fast.

However, now that "Die Hard" wants to enter the Chinese film market, it is not very easy to get a public screening license, even if Lin Feng is the boss of this company.

Although the production company of "Die Hard" is Oriental DreamWorks, this Oriental DreamWorks in Hollywood and Oriental DreamWorks in China are not the same company in a legal sense.

Hollywood's Oriental DreamWorks was renamed after Lin Feng's acquisition of Lianlian Film Company, not Oriental DreamWorks was set up in Hollywood as a foreigner.

Both DreamWorks pay taxes to their respective countries and are not legally the same company.

Therefore, when "Die Hard" enters China, it can only be regarded as an imported film, and it must get a public screening license before it can be released and released.

"In this way, I'll let Liu Xinsheng ask first. Lin Feng thought for a while and said. You have to be careful yourself. ”

A few days later, when all the on-site locations of "2012" were filmed, Lin Feng flew back to Yanjing with the crew.

The next day, when he looked at the foreigner who was following Liu Xinsheng in the office, he couldn't help but be stunned, how could this foreigner feel very familiar to him?

Seeing Lin Feng's confused eyes, Liu Xinsheng introduced Lin Feng with a smile: "Ming Shao, this Alva, the former manager of Pan American Entertainment in China. ”

"Huh!" Lin Feng patted his head, and suddenly remembered who this familiar guy was, but he didn't expect Bob to dig him up.

But think about it now that Bob and Corkley have torn their faces, his subordinates who were valued by Pan American Entertainment must have been treated unfavorably by Corckley and the new general manager.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, whether these people were poached by Bob or took the initiative to contact Bob, this is a good thing for Lin Feng and Oriental DreamWorks.

Now that "Die Hard" wants a release permit, Alva, who is more familiar with these processes, was sent over by Bob.

"Lin, Mr. Bob asked me to ask if there is any other way to get a release permit, and it wouldn't be a wonderful thing to get a quota from a few vampires. Alva said with a sad face.

Lin Feng has been clear through Liu Xinsheng in the past few days about Huaxia's policy towards imported films.

Although Huaxia in this world is not as strict in its review of imported films as in its previous life, there are still restrictions on the number of imported films as in its previous life.

Now Hollywood has a total of 20 imported films a year, but I heard that it will be increased in a few years, but this year's quota has long been divided up by Hollywood studios.

Many schedules have already been set, just waiting for release, although they have movie quotas in their hands, but film companies that do not have suitable films are not worried that no one wants the quota in their hands.

Those studios that need quotas can get quotas from these studios at a great cost.

Although Bob has deep connections in Hollywood, he doesn't play much of a role in this regard.

"Die Hard" was released in the United States, and he could also use his deep relationship to let the theater arrange more screens for Oriental DreamWorks, but he was a little powerless in this regard.

Therefore, he wanted Lin Feng to see if there was a channel in Huaxia to get a release permit for "Die Hard".

It's really not good, I can only give up the Chinese film market this year.

"Brother Liu, what's going on over there?" Lin Feng thought for a while and asked Liu Xinsheng.

"It's not easy to operate, the government said that the schedule has been set, and it's not easy to change!" Liu Xinsheng said with a solemn expression.

Lin Feng frowned deeply when he heard this, and he couldn't think of a good way for a while, and he was a little caught off guard by the difference between different systems.

If a Chinese film wants to be released in the United States, there is no such thing as a public screening license, but it also needs to be reviewed, but as long as this kind of review reaches an agreement with the theater company to release it, it is basically a passing scene.

At best, this kind of review is just a classification of films.

However, due to the cultural gap between the East and the West, there are only a handful of films that can succeed in the Chinese film market.

Therefore, the cultural department of the United States does not impose certain restrictions on the number of imported films like Huaxia.

However, if foreign films want to enter the Chinese film market, they need extremely cumbersome procedures, but Lin Feng heard that it is estimated that this restriction will not be too long, and it may disappear in two years, so local filmmakers will be so worried and so strict about Hollywood blockbusters.

"I'll call and ask the old dean to take a look. Lin Feng thought for a moment and said.

Whether it is himself or Oriental DreamWorks, he is a newcomer to the entertainment industry in China, although he has made certain achievements, his qualifications and background are indeed too shallow.

Now he can see if there is any good way through the old dean, after all, the old man's status in the Chinese film industry is indeed very high, and he seems to have heard that the old dean is still the vice chairman of the Huaxia Film Association!

After a while, Lin Feng finished the phone call, put down the phone, and Liu Xinsheng asked anxiously, "How is it?"

"He asked me to find Minister Guo!" Lin Feng said.

Guo Rentao was in a very happy mood during this time, or since the end of last year, his mood has not been bad.

All thanks to the documentary "A Bite of China"!

The top officials want to take advantage of the time when the country is hosting the World Cup to publicize Chinese culture in the world and deepen the understanding of Chinese people around the world.

At that time, the task was entrusted to him.

Several propaganda films have been denied by the above, and his temper has been bad during that time, if in the end, he, the deputy minister in charge of propaganda, really can't come up with a qualified national propaganda film, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to his political career.

This kind of ending makes Guo Rentao, who is in the prime of life, naturally unacceptable.

However, no one expected that in a fortuitous meeting and research, a newly emerged Phoenix TV station would come up with a documentary that made his eyes shine, and after the broadcast, it aroused heated discussions among the whole people and unanimous praise.

And when this documentary was translated into the languages of several countries, with the support of the state, it was screened in various countries, and it also had a great impact.

Especially those overseas Chinese who saw this documentary, were aroused by homesickness, and even cried tears, the traditional Chinese culture contained in the documentary touched the soul of every dragon descendant.

Foreign audiences are also very interested in the practice of Chinese food shown in the documentary "A Bite of China", according to incomplete statistics, wherever the documentary is broadcast, the local Chinese food business is booming all of a sudden, and even at this time, it is much better than when the documentary was not broadcast.

Through the food culture of Huaxia, the attention of Huaxia in the world has increased a lot.

Because of these, Guo Rentao also received a very high evaluation from above, and he learned that it was estimated that in a few days, the word "deputy" in front of him, the minister, would be removed.

Whenever he thought of this, he couldn't help but think of the unusually confident young man, and sometimes he hinted to the young man that if there was anything he needed his help, he must not be polite, but he didn't expect that the young man seemed to have forgotten his hint and never spoke.

Suddenly, the landline in front of him rang, and after looking at the caller ID on it, his face was stunned, this thought Cao Cao, Cao Cao came.

What a coincidence.

"Haha, why did you kid think of calling me today?" Guo Rentao greeted Lin Feng affectionately.

If this young man is just an excellent director, it is not enough for Guo Rentao, who is a high-level state official, to pay so much attention, but he knows that this young man has the wealth of owning a television station and a large regional newspaper, so he has to pay so much attention to it.

In this world, the importance of media is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Especially if he wants to go to the next level in the future, it will be much easier with the cooperation of the media.

"Minister Guo, I heard that you are going to be promoted, so I called in advance to congratulate you. Lin Feng said with a smile, he has always kept in touch with this first high-ranking official he has befriended in this life.

Wu Yuanzhi even walked around on behalf of Lin Feng every holiday, and because of "A Bite of China", the relationship between the two sides is indeed relatively close.

"I don't know you kid yet, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, just say anything directly. Guo Rentao scolded with a smile, because of Lin Feng's age, he has always regarded this young man as a junior, a junior who is very worthy of investment.

Lin Feng smiled when he heard this, so he didn't beat around the bush, and got straight to the point and told the matter about the 'public screening permit'.

In the end, he couldn't help but say: "Minister Guo, look at some film companies that can be released in China without occupying the quota just because of joint venture shooting, this is a pure local investment!"

"Hehe!" Guo Rentao couldn't help but laugh when he heard Lin Feng's complaining words, "You kid don't blame Sang and scold Huai, so let's do it, I'll inquire and give you the answer later." ”

On the phone, Guo Rentao did not give Lin Feng a very positive answer, after all, as a high-level official in the government, even if he was sure of something, he would not take care of it.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Uncle Guo's good news. In the end, Lin Feng couldn't help but pull up the relationship.

"You kid. Guo Rentao smiled and didn't say anything.

Guo Rentao didn't let Lin Feng wait too long, and made a phone call to Lin Feng the next day, asking him to take the contract for the acquisition of Hollywood Film Company at that time and go to the radio and television department.

Lin Feng knew that there was a drama as soon as he heard it, and when he hung up the phone, he took the contract and Liu Xinsheng to the radio and television department for a while.

This is the first time Lin Feng has come to the radio and television department in this life, and he has not been there in his previous life, but compared to his previous life, the functions and power of the radio and television department in this life are much smaller than in his previous life.

In this life, he is a subordinate unit of the National Propaganda Department.

When Lin Feng and Liu Xinsheng walked into the radio and television department, they went upstairs through the elevator to know where the department in charge of film distribution was located by asking the relevant staff.

After Lin Feng and Liu Xinsheng walked into the elevator, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face walked out of the corridor not far away.

"Hey, why did he come here?"

This middle-aged man is Zhao Ziyang, who once made things difficult for Wu Yuanzhi and Lin Feng at the meeting of the national first-line TV station in the National Imperial Garden, of course, he has another identity, that is, the son-in-law of the Wang family.

I don't know why, he walked to the front desk staff that Lin Feng and the two asked just now, and asked, "Who were those two looking for just now?"

"Director Zhao, they are looking for Director Wang of the Film Distribution Department!"

Director Wang? Zhao Ziyang frowned, this guy seems to be in charge of the distribution of imported films.

Then, he sat down in a corner, looking at the elevator on the first floor, and an hour later, when he saw Lin Feng and Liu Xinsheng walking out, he immediately called Director Wang: "Lao Wang!"

Zhao Ziyang hung up the phone, he really didn't expect Lin Feng to come here to apply for a film release permit!

He couldn't help but call Wang Zuotao on the phone.
