Chapter 329: Nomination for the schedule
Bao Lidong listened to Yu Dong's answer, couldn't help but be furious, and stood up directly: "A few of you have softened at the critical moment, and you deserve to be able to cover the sky with one hand in the past two years." 【】”
At this time, Wang Zhongjun said in a deep voice: "Although we all have contradictions for the schedule, we have the same position on the introduction of films in the United States. ”
Bao Lidong's face changed and he said angrily: "Yes, I just want to fight for a good schedule for "Fuse", what's wrong?" Aren't you guys here making a fuss about your own movie? Mr. Wang, do you dare to say that you didn't bow your head to Han Sanpin because you were in the New Year file for your "Assembly Number"!? And are you Yu Dong worried that your "The Sun Also Rises" can be arranged for a good time? Are you afraid that China Film will line up American films with you? ”
Wang Zhongjun said: "These are all internal contradictions, and we will always fight for our rights and interests with China Film in the association in the future, but Lao Bao, let me ask you, are you a Chinese filmmaker?" ”
"Of course." Bao Zongdao.
Wang Zhongjun said: "Then this time the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television proposed to add 14 more imported films every year, if we don't support it because of Han Sanpin's opposition, it's not us who will suffer in the future, now 20 imported films will make us uncomfortable enough, and if we add 14 more, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep the New Year." ”
Speaking of this, Wang Zhongjun looked around at everyone: "Although China Film is responsible for the arrangement of imported films on the surface, in fact, he Han Sanpin is just a puppet of the Film Bureau, and the share of imported films is directly handed over to the Film Bureau, and they have not gained any benefits from China Film, you see that Han Sanpin has supported Ning Hao and Lu Chuan in recent years, in fact, it is for the development of domestic films, we all have the same position on this point, we support Han Sanpin this time, which is to save ourselves." ”
Bao Lidong was stunned for a while, was silent for a while, and then gritted his teeth and stopped talking, it was not that he didn't understand this truth, but he couldn't get this tone smooth.
Although Chu Qiubai is the number one in the Shanghai Film Group, he is not ranked in the domestic film circle, just listening to it from the side, he can't insert a word, and his face is full of embarrassment.
And Gu Xiaofan sat next to him and listened for a long time, thinking: "Although the two groups of filmmakers in this association have their own conflicts, they both talk about Hollywood's imported films...... No matter who you are, you're afraid that it will be released with a Hollywood blockbuster...... The so-called good schedule is to stagger Hollywood movies...... In this way, the original schedule of "Chinese Partner" in June was full of blockbusters in the United States, and it is undoubtedly the worst schedule, no wonder it passed as soon as it was submitted......"
Although these people have the same hatred for Hollywood movies, Gu Xiaofan looks down on them a little in his heart, looking at those future film works, even if the restrictions on Hollywood movies are not relaxed in China, these people have not made many good movies, which shows that there are not many benefits for movies that are too restricted to introduce Hollywood.
Gu Xiaofan felt in his heart that it would be appropriate to open up more Hollywood movies and promote competition in the domestic market, but if it was not good, it would make domestic films improve faster.
However, Gu Xiaofan also recognized the form at this moment, that is, it is impossible for "Chinese Partner" to get a good schedule this time, the internal forces of the Distribution and Projection Association have been solidified, this is a process of dividing the pie, and it is even more difficult for them, a newcomer in the film industry, to get on the throne.
Although Wanda and Shanghai Film are in a cooperative relationship, but before they have enough strength in Shangying, it is impossible to publicly support them, if you want to gain respect, you must show enough strength, others are afraid of Hollywood movies, he Gu Xiaofan is not afraid, he still wants to compete with Hollywood movies in a dignified manner, if he can't do American movies in China, then how can he go to Hollywood to fight for the filming rights of "The Dark Knight" and "Game of Thrones"?
Everyone chatted for a while, and when they saw that the time was almost up, they collectively got up and prepared to go to the schedule coordination meeting.
Although there are more than 700 representatives of units who come to participate in the schedule coordination meeting, only 27 film companies and theater representatives with director qualifications can really participate in the meeting.
Although Shangying, as a state-owned enterprise, has been in decline for many years, it still has a seat on the board.
However, after Chu Qiubai understood the situation, he could only say with a displeased face: "Director Gu, I don't think we have the need to participate this time, let's go back." He already understood that it was impossible for "Chinese Partner" to change the schedule, and it could only be released in June, and it would be just a waste of time to stay.
The two factions have reached an agreement, and Wanda does not support them, so why bother to be bored?
"Mr. Chu, why don't I attend on behalf of us." Gu Xiaofan blinked and said, "I don't lose our people at my level, right?" ”
Chu Qiubai was stunned for a moment, but he also knew that Gu Xiaofan had always been witty, and it was not bad for him to stir up this stagnant water, so he nodded with a smile: "Then I'll wait for you outside." ”
So Gu Xiaofan, as the representative of Shangying, participated in this meeting alone, and before entering the conference hall, he couldn't help but glance at Gao Yuanyuan, who was entertaining everyone in the main hall.
Seeing that she was toasting to someone at the reception in the main hall, her cheeks were slightly red, obviously she had drunk a lot, Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but feel a little guilty in her heart, if it wasn't for the sake of currying favor with him, Gao Yuanyuan would never have attended this kind of occasion to entertain, right......
Gao Yuanyuan also noticed that he was looking over and winked at him with a smile.
The 27 directors of the association entered the conference room, and after everyone was seated, Director Shen of the Film Bureau began to preside over the meeting and said the opening remarks:
"Thank you for participating in this meeting, on behalf of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, I invite you to participate in this meeting, the purpose is still the same as in previous sessions, mainly to vote and discuss the schedule of each film."
After saying these scenes, Director Shen began to explain the details of the schedule arrangement, the process of arranging the schedule of the film is that each film company nominates its own works, and then chooses to apply for the schedule within the next year, and then everyone votes to see if it is approved.
At first glance, it sounds very fair, in fact, insiders know that in fact, it is simply a process of dividing the pie of major film companies, and basically the film schedules of each company are negotiated before voting, and this meeting voting is just a formality for the outside world to see.
"That's the rule, if you have any nominations, just put them forward, we can discuss them openly, and then vote on them to decide whether to pass them or not."
As soon as Director Shen's voice fell, he heard the directors nominating with their respective lists.
"China Film Company nominated for the release of the focus film production "Lust and Caution" will be released on October 12."
"Siyuan Film and Television Company was nominated, and Siyuan Film and Television Company released "Contract Lover" on August 19."
The nominations were put forward one by one, and everyone voted one by one, and almost all the nominations were passed, which seems to be a coincidence, but in fact, before this, China Film had already compromised with Huayi and reached a mutually acceptable plan, without any stupid self-determination, and no one raised objections, everyone had a tacit understanding with each other.
No one noticed that Gu Xiaofan, who was sitting at the end at the moment, had a flash of light in his eyes, and he looked like he was about to move......
