Chapter 561: Everything is ready
Hong Kong's new film support policy, that is, the Heung Kong Film Revitalization Support Plan, was released in 16 years. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The core of this policy is to "create 100 excellent Hong Kong films and restore the prosperity of the film and television industry", for which the Hong Kong government has formulated a special budget and reached a cooperation agreement with the relevant domestic departments to recommend 20 Hong Kong-made films (including China-Hong Kong co-productions) to be recommended for screening in the mainland every year.
This is the so-called green channel for Hong Kong films, according to the agreement reached between the two parties, in addition to enjoying preferential policies in terms of box office sharing and taxation, the recommended Hong Kong films also have a basic guarantee for the film scheduling rate.
At present, the domestic film market has become the world's second largest box office producer after the United States, the competition is naturally fierce, and the pattern of competing for hegemony has long been established.
If you don't want to become a subsidiary of the former and be exploited, you can only take new media channels and make so-called online movie online dramas.
Xiangjiang's new film support policy is equivalent to priing a crack in the big market that has been carved up.
Therefore, as soon as the news came out, many film and television organizations went to Hong Kong to seek opportunities, and even some powerful large film companies joined hands with their local counterparts on Hong Kong Island to shoot new films.
In the end, 178 Hong Kong-made (co-production) films applied to the Hong Kong Film Association, the review agency designated by the Hong Kong government, for a quota of policy quotas, of which 120 passed the preliminary review.
120 films compete for 20 places, the ratio is 6:1, the competition can be described as cruel!
But no matter how cruel it is, "A Chinese Ghost Story", which has the best box office performance and the best reputation in Hong Kong at the beginning of 2017, has firmly locked a place, even if the final list has not yet been officially released, and the industry in the circle basically has no objection to this.
The reason couldn't be simpler, if "A Chinese Ghost Story" is not qualified, then which movie is more qualified, if the Xiangjiang Film Association really blocks "A Chinese Ghost Story" from the door, then the so-called new policy is a joke!
Of course, Lu Chen will not get carried away because of this, he will do the work or public relations that should be done, and then put the focus of his work back to China.
Getting a quota does not mean that everything is fine, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is released in China, and there is still a lot of work to be done, such as the most critical cinema chain, when and what time the film is scheduled to be released is an important factor affecting the box office, as well as publicity and marketing.
For example, according to the agreement, Hong Kong films released in major domestic theaters through the green channel must ensure a 10% shooting rate in the first week, but there is no specific date and time period, and there are a lot of cats to play.
Some theaters that don't pay attention to it will even steal the box office.
Therefore, after the celebration party, Lu Chen entrusted the work of Xiangjiang Studio to Wan Xiaoquan and Chen Wenqiang to take charge, and flew back to China with Chen Feier to preside over the overall situation.
The domestic market is the main battlefield of "A Chinese Ghost Story"!
However, on the flight on March 1, the two did not go back to the capital directly, but flew to Hangzhou first.
"I've been looking forward to it, and I've finally got you two here!"
It was Tian Tian who picked up the airport at Hangzhou International Airport, and as soon as he saw Lu Chen and Chen Feier coming out of the VIP channel, the former beautiful host of Zhedong TV complained: "You two, don't you want friends anymore?"
Chen Fei'er was amused by her resentful appearance, hugged Tian Tian and said with a smile: "Aren't we here now?
"To die!"
Tian Tianqiao pinched Chen Fei'er with a red face, and secretly glanced at Lu Chen next to her.
The two hadn't seen each other for a while, and when they met, it seemed like they had endless words.
Lu Chen carried a large bag and a small bag, and said with a wry smile: "Two beauties, can we go back and talk again?"
It was Tian Tian who drove the car herself, first went back to her home in Hangzhou to settle down, and after lunch, they came to Tian Tian's media company together.
The full name of Tian Tian's media company is Star Factory Media Co., Ltd., and the name "Star Factory" was given by Lu Chen, in fact, the establishment of this media company also came from his suggestion.
In addition, Star Factory has a share investment in Lu Chen and Chen Feier, and this company is co-founded by three people.
It's just that Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er don't have time to manage the operation at all, that is, they invest money in the early stage of the company's grass-roots creation, registration, site selection, recruitment of employees, preparation of projects, etc., Tian Tian is completely busy in Zhang Luo alone.
And the first project of Star Factory is called "The Voice of China"!
Tian Tian had the idea to resign and start a business in May last year, and Lu Chen provided her with the idea of "The Voice of China" in May, but Star Factory Media was not officially established until July.
Then Tian Tian began to recruit troops to set up a project team, because it was the first time to start a business, and there was the investment of two friends, Lu Chen and Chen Feier, so she walked very steadily step by step, and it can even be said that she was cautious, so it was not until now that she entered the actual operation of the project.
With such a long cycle, the star factory led by Tian Tian is of course extremely well prepared, not only forming a team with rich draft experience, but also reaching a cooperation agreement with Zhedong Satellite TV.
"The Voice of China" is planned and produced by Star Factory Media, and is scheduled to be broadcast in the prime time of Zhedong Satellite TV, and the two sides signed not a common buyout agreement, but a rare advertising share based on ratings.
On the way to the company, Tian Tian briefly introduced the situation to the two shareholders in the past six months.
Although she complained about how hard it was to start a business alone, and wanted to give up several times when she encountered difficulties, it could be seen that she really wanted to break out of a new world of her own and enjoy it.
"Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed..."
The full set of planning and copywriting for "The Voice of China" has already been completed, the program team is complete, the cooperation agreement is signed, and the official production can be started at any time, which can be said to be all ready.
There is only one problem, and that is that the list of the four judges has not yet been confirmed!
This question is not big or small, in fact, Tian Tian communicated with Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er two months ago, but it has never really been decided.
When it came to this issue, Tian Tian, who was already in a hurry, turned into a domineering president: "Don't think about running either, you two must help, otherwise don't blame me for turning your face!"
"Also, you have to help me invite two more big names in the circle, they must be at the level of the king and queen of heaven!"
