Chapter 65: Twin Lines
The next day, Paul's School.
As soon as Xu Jing's car stopped, Lin Qingqing, who was behind, opened the car door, got out of the car, and didn't say a word to Xu Jing. In fact, not only in the car, but also from the morning to breakfast, there is no 'good morning' in the past, and there is no 'goodbye' when he leaves, as if he does not exist.
"Big barley, don't be late again in the afternoon. Zhou Xiaoxun looked at Lin Qingqing in front of him, turned around and said goodbye, and then got out of the car and chased after him: "Hey, Qingqing, wait for me!"
After the figures of the two disappeared from sight, Xu Jing leaned his head back on the seat and closed his eyes for a while, and only exhaled deeply for a while, then started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove towards the company.
"What's wrong? When he came to the company, before he started working, Zhao Xiaojun found out that he was strange today, he didn't have the spirit of the past at all, he seemed to be preoccupied, and he couldn't help but be a little concerned.
"It's fine. Xu Jing raised his head and said, "Is there something wrong?"
"Have you read the news?" Zhao Xiaojun saw that he didn't want to say more, and he didn't ask more, just handed over a newspaper and said.
Xu Jing took the newspaper and quickly swept his eyes, his brows couldn't help frowning.
"This Golden Princess and Debao are engaged in a two-line joint screening, I'm afraid they are not targeting us again, right?" Zhao Xiaojun said.
"Not exactly, don't forget that Huang Baiming from Xinyi City is filming for Golden Harvest, and they are afraid that they only want to stabilize the hearts of the insiders and curb us at the same time. Xu Jing said.
"So what are we going to do? I've been pressed by them like this, but I'm afraid that no one will want to make films for us in the future. ”
"I'll figure it out. After pondering for a moment, Xu Jing said.
Zhao Xiaojun's worries are not unreasonable, a large number of Taiwan Island funds have poured into the Xiangjiang film circle since the beginning of this year, and there is no shortage of actors with a little strength and fame, in contrast, Xiangjiang actors are more willing to open the largest Chinese film market on Taiwan Island.
If you are always pressed by Princess Jin, not to mention your own grievances, it will inevitably be looked down upon when you cooperate with other Xiangjiang actors. After all, at present, Jiuzhou Company cannot really rely only on actors from the mainland to make films.
When Zhao Xiaojun left, Xu Jing did not devote himself to the editing room as yesterday, but sat in the office and thought for a while, until half past nine, when Lin Jianguo came over, Xu Jing got up and rushed to attend the meeting of the electrical inspection office with Lin Jianguo.
At this time, the initial classification of Xiangjiang films was not as mature and perfect as a few years later, and was only divided into three levels: I., II., III.
Class I is an all-age film that is suitable for anyone of any age. Grade II. is an inappropriate film for children and is of an exhortatory nature, and parents are encouraged to accompany and guide their children to watch it. Class III is the most restrictive and cannot be sold to persons aged 18 or below to enter cinemas.
When it comes to Class III films, many people have the misconception that Class III films are se-level films, but this is not the case. It also includes very violent or bloody films, but the majority of them are serotic films.
In the original time and space, the Xiangjiang film classification system greatly stimulated the development of Xiangjiang films, and the annual output of films surged. Because the cost of grade III films is low, only a beautiful woman needs to take off her clothes to attract balls, and it can also sell overseas copyrights, so the production of grade III films is particularly prosperous. In the early 90s, there was even a phenomenon that Grade III films accounted for more than half of the annual production of films.
Although "King Haibian" has a very violent aesthetic style and some foul language, it is far from reaching the level of Level III., and it is basically certain that it will be classified as Level II., although it will lose some young audiences, but it will not have much impact on the box office, in fact, the films of Zhou Xingchi and Cheng Long in the original time and space are basically classified as Level II.
So Xu Jing is not too worried about the box office of "King Haibian", but since he is here, Xu Jing hopes to promote another thing.
"Mr. Zou, please. In a tea restaurant in Causeway Bay, Xu Jing stood up and said.
Opposite him is an old man with a thin body, pale hair, and a pair of black-framed glasses, who looks polite and bookish, and is none other than Zou Wenhuai, the predator of Xiangjiang movies and the founder of Golden Harvest.
"Sure enough, the hero is a young man, Mr. Xu can break into this family business at such a young age, it seems that we are really old. Zou Wenhuai sat down and said, "But I don't know what Mr. Xu invited me to come this time?"
"Mr. Zou is overrated. Xu Jing said: "The main reason for coming this time is one thing, I hope that "Haibian King" can be released in theaters under Golden Harvest." ”
