Chapter 670: Timing

Because of the Golden Globe Awards in the United States, Lin Zixuan was not idle on Chinese New Year's Eve and received a lot of calls. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There are Li Yu's, Jiang Zhiqiang's, as well as the media and friends in the circle.

He thinks it's nothing, but everyone else is very excited, it is difficult for Chinese films to open the North American market, and they can still win mainstream awards in the United States, which is a feeling of making history.

Especially the Best Director Award for Li Yu, which is a recognition of him by the mainstream American film industry.

Everyone was eagerly discussing the announcement of the Oscar nominations on February 13 on the phone, predicting how many awards "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" would be nominated for.

This nomination has something to do with Lin Zixuan, and the American film company applied for a best adapted screenplay for him.

If you are nominated for an Oscar, it is also an honor.

Hanging up the phone, he came out of the study and came to the living room.

Mu Zhiyuan and Li Hong were there, everyone was chatting, and Lin Zixuan sat down to accompany them.

"Finished calling? The result? Is it possible for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film? Li Hong asked.

Li Hong is a person in the film and television industry, and he pays more attention to the news in this regard.

"It's not clear yet, but depending on the situation, there is a lot of hope, this year's competition for foreign language films is not too fierce, and the PR team in the United States is working hard." Lin Zixuan responded.

After Lin Zixuan came over, the topic naturally turned to him.

"At this year's two sessions, your anti-piracy proposal can be handed in." Mu Zhiyuan reminded.

The two sessions are usually held in March, and deputies to the National People's Congress and members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) put forward their own proposals, covering all aspects of social and economic development.

Lin Zixuan was elected as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference this year and has the qualifications to submit a bill.

The harm of piracy to the film and television industry is self-evident, but there are no better prevention and control measures at present.

Lin Zixuan tried to send people to keep an eye on the copy in major cities, and achieved certain results, but it could cure the symptoms but not the root cause.

Think about it, there will be hundreds of copies of a movie after a big production is released, and you can't send hundreds of people to stare at it.

He was going to try something else.

The company will pay for the organization of the team and the relevant management agencies to cooperate in the joint crackdown on piracy, such as spending 2 million yuan to cooperate with the public security organs to clean up the piracy market nationwide.

Strive to ensure that there are no pirated DVDs sold in major cities across the country during the release of the film.

This can only be done for a certain film, and it will be effective in the short term.

It is impossible for film and television companies to clean up the market with two million per film, and funds and manpower are limited.

In fact, the Ministry of Culture and the Press and Publication Administration have done a lot of work, and they have set up an appraisal center in Huacheng that can read the production line of pirated CDs based on their decoding.

As long as the production line is established in the mainland, it needs to be registered with the local industrial and commercial department.

In this way, piracy can be detected at the source of production and factories that produce pirated DVDs can be shut down.

However, the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high.

New pirated devices quickly entered the market, making it cheaper to burn a movie in a matter of minutes, without any identification code, and without finding the source.

As the CEO of a film company, for his own interests, Lin Zixuan also has to prevent and control pirated CDs.

However, there is a question of timing, and this is not a matter of one company.

Piracy also exists in Western countries, but they are more strictly regulated, with the government involved in managing and legislating.

Films first made their way to cinemas, then the distribution of videotapes and pay-TV broadcasts, and finally the broadcast of free-to-air television, in which film companies were able to make money.

The audiovisual market in the United States is divided into two phases, the first of which is leasing.

The videotapes can only be rented for two months after the film's release, and the audio-visual company and the producer adopt a separate account system.

After a certain period of time, the videotapes will be put on the shelves for sale, and the reproduction of the videotapes rented and sold is strictly prohibited.

If you are found to have copied a videotape or CD, you are guilty of an offence and will be sentenced to prison.

There are several reasons why piracy is rampant in China.

The main reason is that the departments at all levels do not pay attention to it, and moreover, the legislation is not perfect, there are no severe punishment standards, the cost of crime is low, and the pirates do not care.

Lin Zixuan's proposal has no new content, which is to call for improving legal provisions and increasing penalties.

Mu Zhiyuan reminded him at this time because the time had come.

China's accession to the World Trade Organization is a foregone conclusion, and the domestic crackdown on piracy will gradually increase.

Lin Zixuan is ready to join forces with a number of film and television companies and audio-visual companies to jointly launch a large-scale anti-piracy campaign.

It has also set up an anti-piracy fund to work out a set of effective prevention and control measures in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture, the Film Bureau, the Press and Publication Administration, the National Copyright Administration and other relevant units.

In the next few years, blockbusters produced by Good Dreams will be released one after another.

Series of films such as "Hero", "Infernal Affairs" and "Xiaoxue's Adventure" are all films that have the potential to get high box office, and they can't be dismal at the box office because of piracy.

"My Sassy Girlfriend" is about to be released, and Lin Zixuan plans to give it a try.

Good Dream has reached cooperation agreements with other film and television companies, and they have social connections in major cities.

Lin Zixuan contributed funds and used their connections to cooperate with law enforcement agencies to clean up pirated CDs on the market.

Even if a pirate produces a CD, it will not be able to sell it on the market, although it will not eliminate piracy, but it should have a certain effect.

The fight against piracy is a long-term process.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the family watched the Spring Festival Gala together.

On TV, Zhao Benshan tried his best to fool Fan Weimai, causing the audience to laugh, and the year passed in this laughter.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan got up early.

Lin Zixuan put out the prepared peanuts and melon seeds, made a pot of tea, and waited for the guests who came to pay New Year's greetings, Mu Shanshan woke up her daughter and put on new clothes.

Seeing Xiaoxue get up, the four old men took out red envelopes and teased the children.

"Grandpa, grandma, grandpa, grandma, happy new year." In order to press the New Year's money, Xiaoxue greeted the New Year one by one.

Xiaoxue had just taken the New Year's money in her hand, and before she was happy for a while, she was taken away by Mu Shanshan.

"Mom will save it for you first, and the interest will be long." Mu Shanshan said.

Xiaoxue had no choice but to show an aggrieved look, trying to arouse the sympathy of adults, but unfortunately the effect was not good.

Lin Xiaoling took her niece out and went to the temple fair to play, which made Xiaoxue happy.

Throughout the morning, the guests at home came and went.

There are those who are looking for Mu Zhiyuan and Li Hong, there are also familiar neighbors, and there are also those who are looking for Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan.

The two greeted each other, said auspicious words for the New Year, and then sent the guests away.

In the middle, I also received a lot of calls to greet the New Year, and at noon, after lunch, they were free, they cleaned up, sat on the sofa, and chatted casually about some irrelevant days.
