Chapter 158 of the main text volume, The Age of Chaos

Next chapter

This matter has long been discussed in the entertainment industry, and everyone is mentally prepared, but it is only a matter of time. ←，

Neither the state-owned film and television production units nor those directors and actors would have thought that this incident would have much impact and change the existing pattern of the Chinese film and television industry.

In the eyes of these state-owned units, even if a private film and television company is established, it must be attached to them.

At present, most of the outstanding talents in the Chinese entertainment industry are concentrated in state-owned units, and private film and television companies must cooperate with them if they want to shoot movies and TV series.

State-owned units also thought that these private film and television companies would dig into the wall and dig up the directors and actors with high salaries.

However, the reason why a state-owned unit is a state-owned unit is because it belongs to the state and has a relationship with the above, and this is the point.

Taking the Beijing Film Studio as an example, the films it shoots can be reviewed and screened in cinemas, while private film and television companies do not have this kind of relationship, so they have to bear all kinds of unknown risks.

Li Hong has this mentality and does not pay much attention to private film and television companies.

The TV dramas of the art center can be broadcast on Huaguo TV easily, but those private film and television companies cannot, and state-owned units have a natural advantage in this regard.

In fact, this is a common phenomenon in China.

In the past few decades, state-owned enterprises have always been the backbone of China's economy, and they are used to being the boss, looking down on those small-scale private enterprises, and there is a sense of superiority in their bones.

Working in a state-owned enterprise is an iron rice bowl, and working in a private enterprise is insecure.

This is a preconceived notion that has been formed for a long time, and it is not easy to change.

Lin Zixuan knows that this is indeed the case in a short period of time, private film and television companies are still very weak, and it is useless to have funds alone, Huaguo is a society that emphasizes human feelings and relationships, and only by relying on state-owned units can it seek development.

However, in the long run, private film and television companies have sufficient funds, flexible business methods, and more development prospects.

It is estimated that it will take at least four or five years for private film and television companies to develop.

With this document of the General Administration, private capital from all parties has entered the market, and in the next few years, it will definitely cause a scuffle, pull the relationship and dig the wall and go through the back door, and in the end it is the giants of the entertainment industry who can survive.

China's film and television industry is about to usher in a chaotic era.

Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang came to see Mr. Shi with the renderings of the film and television base, and Mr. Shi asked this question.

"Xiaolin, you are insiders, I want to ask if it's time to start a film and television company now?" Mr. Shi asked.

"Hasn't Mr. Shi always invested in industry, why are you interested in making films?" Lin Zixuan said strangely.

"Recently, I heard a friend talk about this at dinner, and since I met you, I asked about the situation. Mr. Shi said calmly.

In addition to the pharmaceutical field, the main projects invested in the real estate and automobile industries, including food and restaurants, are all real economy.

"There is a lot of risk, you need to invest a lot of money, you may lose money in the early stage, if you can stick to it, it should be very promising in a few years. Lin Zixuan thought about it and said honestly.

"That's it, forget it, the effect period is too long. Mr. Shi shook his head and said.

He was just curious for a while, and he was not interested in this kind of virtual economy in his heart, and he always felt that it was too empty and difficult to grasp.

The film and television base belongs to the real estate industry, although it is not a building to be sold, but it can also have a good income from renting it to people for filming, which is a long-term business and worth investing.

The two parties reached a preliminary investment intention.

Mr. Shi is going to invest 10 million in this film and television base, for him it is just for fun, Lin Zixuan can't agree to anything for the time being, this involves the reaction of the General Administration, and the final distribution of benefits needs to be discussed slowly.

"Even Mr. Shi wants to meddle in the film and television industry, it seems that this circle is really going to be chaotic. On the way back, Feng Xiaogang sighed.

"They all think that they can make a lot of money by making film and television dramas, but in fact, there are not many who really make money, but there are a lot of people who lose money, and there are only a few that can sell box office and copyrights. Lin Zixuan said unceremoniously.

This is the current reality in the film and television industry.

Of course, it makes money, but only the films made by big directors like Zhang Yimou make money, and the film market in China is sluggish, and Zhang Yimou's films mainly rely on selling overseas copyrights to make a profit.

As long as the film wins an award at a foreign film festival, it can be sold at a good price.

Why does the General Administration allow private capital to come in, to say that it is to prosper China's film and television industry, but in fact, it is because the state-owned units have a rigid system, which has been losing money year after year, and is about to be unable to sustain itself, and it needs fresh blood to supplement it and form an effective competition mechanism.

"What should we do? Do we sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, or do we have a fight?" Feng Xiaogang said eagerly.

Lin Zixuan knew that Feng Xiaogang had always wanted to go it alone, but now was not the time.

They have become famous in the TV circle with "Beijing People in New York", and they have the confidence to go out to attract investment.

Just like Mr. Shi, it is precisely because of the success of "Beijing People in New York" that he has been recognized by Mr. Shi that there is this cooperation with the film and television base.

In other words, only when you continue to succeed can you be recognized by others, and others will be assured to invest in you.

Zhang Yimou was able to pull in an investment of $3 million with a single story, which is due to his many previous successes.

Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang's qualifications are not deep enough, they don't have the kind of appeal that raises their arms and gathers many responders, and Zhang Yimou can't compare with them, and it is too risky to go out now, and it is likely that they will break their heads.

These are chaotic times.

"Wait a little longer, wait for Brother You to finish filming "Alive". Lin Zixuan responded.

"That's fine, let's take a look at the shape first, with Youzi, we're at least half of the success. Feng Xiaogang said with a smile.

Back at the art center, Lin Zixuan unexpectedly received two invitations, one for the Huaguo Golden Bull Award and the other for the Xiangjiang Film Award, both of which were awarded in April.

Golden Bull Award Lin Zixuan can still understand, after all, he is the screenwriter of "The Great Satan", and he is nominated for the best screenplay.

The Academy Awards are a bit inexplicable, Lin Zixuan knew that this was because of the movie "The Story of Ah Lang", and he later found a video tape to watch, and his name only appeared on the story planning.

However, since the invitation letter was sent, it means that the film company in Xiangjiang has not forgotten him, perhaps just out of politeness.

Anyway, I have to go to Huacheng to participate in the Golden Bull Awards, and it is not bad to go to Xiangjiang by the way, Lin Zixuan plans to do so. (To be continued.) )
