Wang Zuotao hung up the phone with a cold face, he really didn't expect that Lin Feng would also get the quota for film import discovery at this time and obtain a public screening license. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

What made him feel the most annoyed was that he insisted on taking the joint venture shooting of Zhonghuang Entertainment and Pan American Entertainment as an example.

National policy stipulates that as long as it is a film jointly produced by China and the United States, it does not need to occupy the film import quota, but now that Oriental DreamWorks has directly acquired a film company in Hollywood, how can this be calculated?

In order to promote this joint venture between China and the United States, Wang Zuotao used some of the family's resources in the government, but he didn't expect that he would take great pains to finally let Oriental DreamWorks also occupy it.

This made Wang Zuotao feel a kind of aggrieved and depressed discomfort.

But it's not good for him to make a big deal about this kind of thing, after all, he is using family resources to achieve this cooperation, and during the period, in order to bypass the policy's restrictions on joint venture shooting, he has made a lot of shady means.

After the matter is big, although the dream of Oriental DreamWorks can be disappointed, then Zhonghuang Entertainment and Pan American Entertainment will definitely not feel good.

Thinking of this, Wang Zuotao slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground.

"Lin Feng!"

He actually made a wedding dress for this guy, and he felt aggrieved when he thought about it.

It's just that Lin Feng didn't know all this, with Guo Rentao's greeting, he and Liu Xinsheng quickly got the release license.

In fact, the government has relaxed a lot of restrictions in this regard, and the director Wang revealed just now that this kind of restriction will disappear soon, after all, China is the most powerful country in the world market economy, and this kind of foreign protection policy cannot last long.

It is only because of the particularity of the cultural market that the state has made some restrictions, and it is estimated that these restrictions will be lifted soon under the general trend.

Therefore, Lin Feng and the others got the public screening license so easily.

Of course, without Minister Guo's help in arranging, it would not be very easy for ordinary people to get it.

It can be seen why a movie will have two different box office figures if it is distributed to two different film companies.

Film distribution companies that are older, have strong backgrounds and connections, use much more resources than ordinary distribution companies.

Whether it is the classification of movies or the number of theatrical screen releases, these veteran film distribution companies are not comparable to ordinary film companies.

For Oriental DreamWorks, the weakest link is undoubtedly film distribution.

Huaxia is a little better, Lin Feng acquired the Academy Cinema Line, and mastered most of the shares of the Donghai Cinema Line, local film distribution, he doesn't have too much to worry about, and now that Bob has joined the United States, I believe he will also use his connections and connections to strengthen the distribution ability of Hollywood Oriental DreamWorks.

However, tall buildings cannot be built in a day, and they need to be built slowly.

If it weren't for the fact that all the funds in Lin Feng's hands had been spent, otherwise he would definitely have to buy a cinema company in the United States, and only what was in his hands would really belong to him.

After Lin Feng dealt with the release permit of "Die Hard", he asked Alva to go back and report to Bob, and when the time came, as long as the film was sent to the Film Review Committee for classification.

After finishing this matter, he began to take the crew to continue filming in the blue screen studio, but the progress was much slower than the previous on-site shooting.

After all, in the blue screen, there is no scene, it all depends on the imagination of the actors, and the emotional actions of the performance are required to match the scenes in the synthesized picture, which is undoubtedly a challenge to the actors' experience and performance skills.

Lin Feng also experienced this kind of shooting scene for the first time, but fortunately, with Roland on the side, the crew did not have too much chaos.

He also congratulated himself on his decision to let Bob find himself an assistant director who had seen big scenes in Hollywood.

Half a month later, Lin Feng received another call from Bob, this time Bob asked him if he would come to the premiere of "Die Hard".

He thought about it and refused, now "2012" is being filmed intensively, if it is delayed any longer, maybe it will really not be able to catch up with the Spring Festival schedule.

Especially now the joint venture film between Zhonghuang Entertainment and Pan American Entertainment shows an aggressive momentum, and the media, I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, and often compares these two movies.

The production cost of blockbusters is more than 500 million, and it is announced that the start of shooting will start in about the same time.

How can this not get those media excited.

And recently, the momentum of this comparison has become more and more intense, and Lin Feng even wondered if someone was deliberately manipulating it behind it.

Lin Feng didn't expect that he had just refused Bob's side to attend the premiere of "Die Hard", and Zheng Wen and Mr. Lan of the Major League of Basketball also came over.

"The premiere of "Road to Glory", you must be there!" Mr. Lan sent a warm invitation to Lin Feng.

Mr. Lan's approach made Lin Feng a little suspicious that "Road to Glory" was not filmed by Oriental DreamWorks, but by other film companies.

"This?" Lin Feng hesitantly glanced at the camera not far away, and didn't know what to say.

During this time, he basically didn't go to the company, basically everything was handled by Liu Xinsheng, if there was anything he couldn't call the shots, he would report it by phone, so that Lin Feng could make up his mind, if it wasn't for Mr. Lan and Zheng Wen both finding the studio today, he really forgot that his company's latest movie was about to be released!

"Lin Feng, don't tell me you still have to shoot at night!" Zheng Wen said with a smile, with inexplicable excitement on his face.

He has to say that the script that Lin Feng gave him is really fantastic, although he has not made a movie about sports, but through this movie, he really felt the unusual charm of the script that Lin Feng gave him.

Especially the sub-shots given by Lin Feng benefited him, the former Golden Dragon Award winner, a lot.

Therefore, he is very eager to hope that Lin Feng can attend the premiere of "Road to Glory".

Seeing the solemnity on Mr. Lan's face and the hint of expectation revealed by Zheng Wen, Lin Feng couldn't push it back, so he nodded and agreed.

Fortunately, the premiere of "Road to Glory" is Yanjing, he doesn't need to travel, he doesn't need to fly, and he doesn't need to change the jet lag, which is more convenient.

Seeing Lin Feng nodding and agreeing to participate in the premiere of "Road to Glory", Mr. Lan couldn't help laughing happily, patted Lin Feng on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Lin, the guests on the scene will definitely not let you down!"

Lin Feng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Mr. Lan, you won't make the scene too big, right?"

"You'll know when the time comes. Mr. Lan smiled mysteriously and refused to reveal his tone.

The premiere of "Road to Glory" is still the luxury cinema of the old Donghai Cinema Line in Yanjing, and now this cinema is basically the designated premiere location of Oriental DreamWorks.

Lin Feng saw Mr. Lan's mysterious smile, and couldn't help but be a little curious about which guests would attend the premiere of "Road to Glory" at that time.

The publicity before the premiere of "Road to Glory" has already begun, and advertisements for "Road to Glory" can be seen everywhere in the media and on the Internet.

After 2 years of development, Oriental DreamWorks is no longer the situation when it first entered the entertainment industry, without any background, and let others knead it, the outstanding achievements of Oriental DreamWorks in the past two years have surprised everyone, coupled with other resources in Lin Feng's hands, it can be said that the entire entertainment industry does not dare to peep at the energy of Oriental DreamWorks.

Under the instructions of Mr. Lan, the Major League also cooperated with the promotion of "Road to Glory", and even in order to expand its influence, when the Chinese professional men's basketball game is now in a fierce competition, the trailer of "Road to Glory" will be broadcast on the live TV of the live stadium.

It can be seen that Mr. Lan has spent a lot of money in order to promote basketball in China.

On the night of the premiere of "Road to Glory", the red carpet had already been rolled out at the door of Yenching Cinema of Donghai Cinema, and countless media reporters and fans were waiting at the door.

After a while, guests from all walks of life came, causing countless people to scream.

"Wow, it's Zhao Xiaojian, I didn't expect him to come back from the United States to participate in the premiere of a movie, it seems that his Lakers team has already made the playoffs, right?"

"Look, look, that's Zhang Ming, I didn't expect him to come too. ”

"It seems that there are more than that, Tao Yuanming, Huang Xiaobo, Zheng Tianqi, etc. are here, it seems that the entire basketball national team is here. ”

.。。

While the reporters made an exclamatory sound, they immediately frantically pressed the shutter of the camera in their hands, and the flashing lights at the entrance of the cinema illuminated the entire starry sky for a while.

Basketball fans screamed incessantly, and several fans broke through the security guards, rushed to several basketball stars, handed over the notebooks and pens that had been prepared, and asked the idols they worshiped for autographs.

Faced with this situation, all the bigwigs on the basketball court signed their names to every fan with a smile on their faces.

Soon, the security guards took the fans who asked for autographs outside.

This time, the guests who greeted the guests at the gate of the studio were Zheng Wen, the director of the movie "Road to Glory", and a big man in the Major League of Basketball, Lin Feng has not come over yet.

It didn't take long for a luxurious car to slowly stop at the gate of the studio.

Lin Feng and Ariel Lin walked down, and Ariel Lin attended the premiere of "Bright Road" as Lin Feng's female companion tonight.

The reporters saw that Lin Feng, who had disappeared for several months, suddenly appeared in front of them, and did not react for a while, and after a while, they immediately pointed their cameras at Lin Feng and Lin Yichen, who were like golden boys and girls in front of them, and pressed the shutter frantically.

They really didn't expect Lin Feng to appear tonight, but thinking that he is not only the screenwriter of this movie, but also that this movie is also produced and distributed by Oriental DreamWorks, he can't say that he, the boss, will not show up to cheer.

Ariel Lin took Lin Feng's arm, the two waved their hands to thank the fans who kept shouting, and walked to the gate of the studio, Lin Feng and Zheng Wen hugged hard, feeling Zheng Wen's excited and excited mentality, patted Zheng Wen's shoulder, signaling that he didn't need to be so excited.

Lin Feng can understand Zheng Wen's feelings, ten years ago, he won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director, at the peak of his life and career, but it was also the beginning of his tragedy.

Not only did every film he directed in the future lose money, but it was also difficult for him to get film investment, so that he was hidden by Polaroid and it was difficult to get the opportunity to take charge of the microphone again.

From the peak to the ordinary all of a sudden, this kind of life has ups and downs, and not everyone can bear it.

It can be said that Zheng Wen has been in pain and entanglement for the past ten years, and this "Road to Glory" is his work that announces his return to the public.

"Huh, Lin Feng?"

Suddenly, an old voice interrupted Lin Feng's thoughts.

Lin Feng turned his head and felt that the old man in front of him was very familiar, but for a while, he didn't think about it.

"Hello, hello!" he said with a modest greeting.

"Hehe!" The old man shook Lin Feng's hand with a smile, he seemed to see that Lin Feng didn't recognize who he was, but he didn't get angry, but said kindly: "I also attended the premiere of your own movie, well, and wrote a movie review." ”

Hearing this prompt, Lin Feng patted his head and immediately remembered who the old man in front of him was, Meng Su, the most well-known film critic in the Chinese film industry.

So he said with annoyance and self-blame: "I'm sorry, Mr. Meng, look at my memory, I've been busy with new films lately. ”

Meng Su didn't show any expression of blaming Lin Feng, he heard Lin Feng's words, chuckled and asked curiously: "Oh, it's "2012", right?

Lin Feng was stunned, but he soon remembered that this movie was the movie co-produced by Zhonghuang Entertainment and Pan American Entertainment, and his heart was tired for a while, but he still said with a flat expression: "Thank you Mr. Meng for your concern!"

The prior media promotion of "2012" has revealed that this is a movie about the end of the world, and the theme of the movie must be the destruction of the earth, but he really didn't expect that the joint venture film of Zhonghuang Entertainment and Pan American Entertainment is a movie focusing on protecting the earth.

That's too targeted, isn't it?

Even if you want to make a movie for yourself, you won't start from the moment you select the movie, it's too petty.

Lin Feng didn't know whether the other party was intentional or unintentional, he himself hoped that the other party was deliberately targeted, if a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars could be so capricious, he was not optimistic about the effect of the final movie after it was made.

"Don't forget to send me an invitation to the premiere of this old man!" Meng Su didn't say much, and said a word of advice, and then took his leave and went to his seat.

"Definitely, definitely. Lin Feng said politely.

After saying goodbye to Meng Su, Lin Feng and Ariel Lin also came to their seats and sat down.

"When will "2012" be completed?" Hearing the conversation between Lin Feng and Meng Su just now, Ariel Lin couldn't help but ask with concern.

Lin Feng calculated in his heart and said: "It is estimated that it will be the Spring Festival, and the production of the main special effects is too laborious, and now Zhang Kaile and they basically have no holidays off." ”

"Oh!" Ariel Lin nodded, and then she didn't know what she thought, and said, "By the way, the snow made me ask you when you will write a script so that both of us can act." ”

Lin Feng's heart trembled when he heard this, what is the situation with this Nima, he couldn't help but look at Ariel Lin's eyes, and he didn't find anything unusual.

However, he and Ariel Lin have grown up together since childhood, and they can still see a trace of tension in the depths of Ariel Lin's eyes.

Kind girl.

He was silent for a moment and said, "Let's talk about this later." ”

After a long time, almost all the guests have arrived.

At this time, Zheng Wen and Mr. Lan successively took the stage to deliver speeches, thanking all the guests who came to cheer, after speaking, the lights dimmed, and everyone knew that the movie had officially started to be screened.

A little girl sits on the moon and fishes at the beginning of the film, appearing in front of everyone, and everyone's spirits are lifted.

Now the title of Oriental Dreamworks, which is full of imagination and allegorical meaning, has spread all over the world with the big sales of several movies, and has a certain influence.

The movie began to play in the surging rock songs, during which there were some pictures of famous events since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the flashing black figures made most people in the theater stunned.

Why does a sports-themed movie with basketball as the theme appear in this picture?

Lin Feng saw this familiar and unfamiliar picture, and slowly turned his attention to the screen in front of him, looking at "The Road of Glory", which is very different in this world.

As the plot unfolded and saw the picture on the screen, he had to sigh in his heart Zheng Wen's skills, the Golden Dragon Award-level director's control of the plot does have his own unique ideas.

Although the "Road of Glory" in front of him, which obviously has Zheng Wen's personal style, is not only very different from the previous version, but Zheng Wen did not shoot all of them according to the script given by Lin Feng.

It can be seen that there are many shots, and he has given an interpretation in his own way of understanding.

Lin Feng saw that there were at least a few places that were completely different from those in his memory, but I have to say that the plot that had been adjusted by Zheng Wen had the effect quite good.

After all, if he wanted the previous life version of "The Road of Glory" to be made into "The Road of Glory" that conforms to the historical background of today's China, Lin Feng had to admit in his heart that Zheng Wen did better than he imagined.

Compared with Lin Feng's sigh in his heart, the reactions of other people in the theater were much more intense than him.

From time to time, there were exclamations and applause in the theater, and several film critics who were invited to come over kept writing and drawing in the notebooks they carried, and then they also showed a thoughtful look.

More than 1 hour passed, and "The Road to Glory" was also put to the end, and when the last text appeared on the screen, the theater suddenly lit up.

After a while, there was a warm applause in the theater, which showed that the film was approved by everyone.

When the movie began to end, when Lin Feng took Ariel Lin all the way to Zheng Wen, he could still hear people discussing the deep meaning of the lens in "The Road to Glory" from time to time.

"Lao Zheng, you have been sharpening a sword for ten years, and if you don't make a sound, it's just a blockbuster!"

"It's just that I didn't expect a sports-themed movie to make a flower for you. ”

When Lin Feng approached Zheng Wen, he saw that Zheng Wen was talking around him.

Zheng Wen looked up and saw Lin Feng and Ariel Lin coming over, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "You don't want to pour me ** soup all at once, the script of this movie was given to me by the boss of our company, if there was no script given by him, this movie would not have appeared." ”

After finishing speaking, Zheng Wen pointed to Lin Feng to introduce the two sides.

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

After Lin Feng listened to Zheng Wen's introduction, he didn't expect that among the people in front of him, a middle-aged man who was not amazing was Jing Yongchang, whom he had heard of before, and he didn't expect that Zheng Wen and this well-known comedy director would have a deep personal relationship.

"I didn't expect to see Director Jing here, I've watched your "Happy Wine" many times. Lin Feng smiled heartily.

At this time, the other people around Zheng Wen saw Lin Feng and Jing Yongchang greetings, so they didn't stop long and followed Zheng Wen outside.

Jing Yongchang heard Lin Feng mention his proud work, although he pretended to be indifferent, but his eyes still showed a little smugness.

"Hehe, Mr. Lin has won the award, the "Journey to the West" that you directed and starred in not long ago has made our Chinese film industry raise its eyebrows!"

Although Lin Feng looked like a young man from the outside, Jing Yongchang didn't dare to despise this young man at all.

Not to mention the various media resources that Lin Feng now has in his hands, Lin Feng's achievements and talent in movies alone are enough for everyone not to dare to ignore this demonic young man.

Lin Feng and Jing Yongchang walked outside while saying polite words, and Ariel Lin followed Lin Feng quietly, showing gentleness and tranquility.

Walking out of the theater, he shook hands with Jing Yongchang and said goodbye.

"Director Jing, there is a chance for us to cooperate in the future!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Okay, definitely, hehe!" Jing Yongchang also responded politely.

As for whether the two of them took their words to heart, that is something that no one knows.

Looking at the back of Jing Yongchang leaving, Lin Feng smiled inexplicably, and Ariel Lin saw it next to him, and couldn't help but say: "Are you doing something bad again? In the past, as long as you had any bad ideas, it was this smile." ”

"Huh!" Lin Feng smiled and whispered in Ariel Lin's ear.

Ariel Lin was surprised: "No, right, he is the director of Zhonghuang Entertainment!"

"Who knows what will happen in the future?" said Lin Feng with a shrug of his shoulders.

Yes, what he just said to Ariel Lin is that he will have the opportunity to poach Jing Yongchang in the future.

However, Jing Yongchang is now a person from Zhonghuang Entertainment, but the contract between the entertainment company and the director, compared with the actor's agency contract, is not so harsh, and there is a lot of room for operation.

But with Jing Yongchang's talent in comedy films, Zhonghuang Entertainment will definitely look at this director who can keep every film profitable, and will not leave too much room for other film companies to poach.

Lin Feng and Ariel Lin returned home for a while, and "Road to Glory" also began to be screened across the country tonight.

Early the next morning, various media made news reports on "The Road to Glory", which premiered last night, and basically reported positively, and several media outlets were not stingy with layout and made large reports.

"Road to Glory is a rare sports-themed film, and the gripping scenes of the game are not the only plot shown. The film is much better than 1998's "Basketball Coach". The strength of the film lies in the integration of social consciousness into the sports genre. - "Yanjing Daily"!

"Typical Lin Feng's works, although this movie was shot by director Zheng Wen, but the screenwriter of this movie is still the young man who is known for his demons, the plot of "The Road to Glory" is completely the commercial film model routine that Lin Feng often uses, the lens stimulates your eyeballs, the plot seduces your **, plus a little thinking, this is the final routine of this movie. - Movie Weekly!

"Overall, the film is very inspirational and uplifting. Although there is not much ink to be written, the personality traits of each player, especially the seven black players, have come to life on the screen. On the contrary, in addition to the worry about his wife and children when he received the threatening letter, the coach's mental journey is a little weaker!"

"Path of Glory" is on fire!

Today's Huaxia is undoubtedly the most powerful country in the world, and Lin Feng feels in all aspects that because of the difference in history, every corner of society is very different from the previous life.

The integration of nationalities is one of the issues that he feels most deeply.

In the previous life, although there were many ethnic minorities in Huaxia, their skin color was the same, and these ethnic minorities have been members of Huaxia since ancient times.

But this world is different.

In the first year of the first day of the history of today's China, there was a deviation, and since then China has embarked on the road of prosperity and rejuvenation.

Or it can be said that from the moment when the great man overthrew the Manchu Qing and unified the whole of China, China itself never experienced the trauma of war again.

During this period, China also experienced World War I and World War II, but the wars all took place outside the country, and truly kept the enemy out of the country, especially in the Second World War, which was famous for its cruelty, and the flames of war did not even burn to the Chinese mainland, which is really unimaginable.

In the whole world, except for the United States, only Huaxia has done this.

Therefore, in World War II, in order to escape the war, countless families, countless people, and countless elites in Europe have emigrated to China and the United States, transferring assets, which greatly stimulated the economic development of the two countries.

However, compared with the predominantly white national society in the United States, there was no problem on the Chinese side at the beginning, but after decades and the development of one or two generations, the problem of ethnic integration emerged.

Especially in recent years, the problem of the integration of various ethnic groups has been very acute.

There has been a saying in China since ancient times: If you are not of my race, your heart will be different!

This sentence verifies the development history of white and black people of different colors in China, and the white people are treated relatively better in China, after all, in order to develop its own science and technology, China has not spent much effort on the white elite of Europe.

It can be said that white people in China are basically concentrated on scientific research.

As for blacks, they are relatively poorly treated, and they are basically at the bottom of society.

Although these two races of different colors immigrated to China and became one of them, they basically did not have any rights in terms of political treatment, but because of the tolerant ethnic characteristics of China, there was not much discrimination against white and black immigrants.

Unlike the frequent conflicts between whites and blacks in the United States, this is simply not possible in China.

The Chinese nation's 5,000-year-old history of inclusiveness is definitely one of the most hospitable nations in the world.

However, there are some things that can only be done and cannot be said, but now in the final moment of "Road to Glory", when five blacks or whites were used, a very sensitive national topic was suddenly detonated and caused an uproar in society.

In contrast to the fierce two-level confrontation between the people, the media and the film industry are surprisingly unanimous.

Especially after Meng Su's film review was published, it pushed the popularity of "Glorious Road" to a climax.

"The focus of "Path of Glory" is not all on the field, but more about the inequality between us Chinese and the colored races at that time (there are a lot of chilling scenes in the film), but when the coach decided to use five black or white people as the first to try to win the championship before the finals, I can conclude that this will be a good movie. ”

"There are not many basketball-themed movies, and most of them are inspirational, and most of them are friendships, and there is no doubt that "Road to Glory" is the most simple one. The stars in the work are not famous and play big names like most subjects, because at the time, even if they played well, they would not be respected, just because of the color of their skin. ”

Mr. Meng's comments in the previous paragraph are okay, only limited to the movie and basketball itself, but in the later comments, he seriously criticized the officials of the national sports department, especially for the selection mechanism of various national team sports, which is even more incisive!

"In recent years, when it comes to white or black national teams in various sports, state sports officials have been completely different systems of selecting the right athletes, relaxed for Chinese and extremely strict for white or black. ”

However, it is also understandable that I can imagine that those veteran cadres of the Sports Bureau are all from the forties and fifties! There is no doubt that their thinking is solidified! It is difficult for them to accept a person who does not have the color of his skin to represent China in a game! In today's globalization. Resting on one's laurels is tantamount to backwardness! China's sports are still closed to the rest of the country. ”

"Aren't those outstanding white and black athletes Chinese nationals? Aren't they Chinese people? They were born and raised in China, and even their parents are the same, I don't understand why those national sports officials make such shameful selections!"

Mr. Meng's comment was like a spark falling into an oil pot, and with a bang, the whole of China became popular, especially the outside media also turned their attention to Huaxia, paying attention to the problem of ethnic integration that suddenly caused by the movie "Road to Glory".

This problem became more and more intense, and when a few days later, Lin Feng flipped through the newspaper from the studio, a little stunned, he really didn't expect that he would adapt the classic "Road of Glory" in his previous life into the Chinese version of "The Road of Glory" in the present world, and it would achieve such a sensational effect.

He was a little unsettled, and hurriedly called Liu Xinsheng and Zheng Wen respectively to inquire about the situation, and when he finished calling and put down his mobile phone, he was even more surprised in his heart.

After the screening of "Road to Glory", it ignited a heated discussion on the issue of national integration in the entire Chinese society, not only the topic became more and more popular, but the box office of this film also became more popular, sweeping all domestic and foreign films in the same schedule.

A blockbuster that Hollywood has high hopes for, and everyone thinks that it will be the box office hegemon of this schedule, is unexpectedly pressed by a sports-themed movie, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger.

In just five days, less than a week, the box office performance of "Road to Glory" has reached more than 50 million, which has simply blinded the eyes of all filmmakers.

Nima, when did sports-themed movies become so popular?

A basketball-themed sports movie came out, and now it's making such an amazing box office.

This makes all the other film companies in the entertainment industry unable to sit still.

Especially those film companies that are having their own movies released and competing with "Road to Glory" for the box office are even more anxious, no way, the momentum of "Road to Glory" is too fierce.

Especially after "The Road of Glory" aroused heated discussions among all strata of Chinese society on the acute issue of ethnic integration, this movie became even more popular.
