Chapter 18 Submission of Films
Tuesday, April 28, this is a very memorable day for Zhengdong Film Company, and it is a very memorable day for Zhou Yi.
Because on this day, after the former Aurora Company was acquired, the first feature film renamed Zhengdong Pictures, and the first film "Five Poison Gate" in Zhou Yi's life, finally completed all the post-production procedures, and the packaging and packaging work was officially completed.
This is the final release of the film, and all the sound and picture subtitles are packed in.
When these works were done, it was already late, almost late at night.
Everyone is working overtime to get the job done.
Nowadays, the digital source master tape and the digital cinema distribution master are completed, and various models of digital versions are readily available.
If you outsource these jobs, it will take at least 3 working days, but the company has relevant video encoders and audio encoders, as well as code flow meters, which can be done by yourself.
At this time, everyone did not seem to feel tired at all, and their spirits were very high.
No one was resting, and the company's top executives and crew members all gathered in the screening room of the company's headquarters, ready to watch the finished film.
This is not only a sneak peek, but also the last step before the film is submitted for review, the company's internal technical review.
So all the top executives of the company have arrived, and none of them are bad.
Zhou Yi, as the boss, naturally watched it with everyone.
When I watched the finished film, everyone was very excited, and the finished film was very good.
Previously edited dailies are completely incomparable.
This is a digital theatrical release with special effects, soundtrack, re-recording, subtitles, and color grading, which is indeed quite exquisite.
Seeing that the film works so well, Zhou Yi is very happy.
The company's top executives and crew members celebrated.
Gao Song and Zheng Zilong, the main artists signed by the company, also received the notice and invitation from Manager Zheng, the director of the artist department, and came to the scene to watch the film and watched the public version of the film together, which was also very happy.
This film is indeed very well made. The picture is exquisite, the style is weird, the actors are powerful, and the play is exciting. The post-production effect is absolutely top-notch.
The actors were all relieved and completely relieved.
The new boss's pioneering work is expected to be a great success.
Everyone has the experience of making successful small-budget films, and they have some predictions about the future prospects of the film, so they are naturally extremely satisfied.
The film's final act unsurprisingly led to a technical review within the company.
Next. The film entered the submission process.
As long as the content review of the first instance of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is preceded by the Dragon Label of the "Film Release Permit", and then the technical review of the second instance by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, you can enter the screening process of the digital cinema.
At this point, everyone in the company felt very comfortable and relaxed.
The more than month-long filming and post-production zuò finally came to an end.
The behind-the-scenes personnel who are engaged in post-production zuò can breathe a sigh of relief.
The rest of the work is none of their business, and they can take a good vacation.
The company's publicity, distribution, marketing and other departments should be thoroughly busy.
After that, the review work was mainly led by the assistant director of the crew. On behalf of the production department, he will work together with the company's publicity and marketing department to complete the review and rating of the film.
Deputy director Liao Zhenyu is proficient in business and has strong communication skills, and is fully capable of these public relations work submitted for review.
The bottom line given by the company is: In any case, the minimum film rating of the tutoring level 12 must be obtained.
No matter how bad the rating is, it will have a great impact on the box office of the film.
At previous high-level meetings of the company, these tasks had already been decided.
Zhou Yi knew it in his heart.
In fact, the work of submitting the film for review is quite cumbersome, and it must be completed by a team of these professionals of the company, involving all aspects of material declaration and public relations planning, and there must be no negligence, so as to get the Dragon Mark license as much as possible and not slow down the progress. affects the schedule of the film's final release.
However, Zhou Yi didn't need to worry about these specific tasks, and he could easily come down for the time being.
The company is very experienced in submitting for review and does not need the boss's enthusiastic involvement.
Zhou Yi won't help everyone by adding to the mess.
Originally, he couldn't help much.
According to Manager Zheng, the review and rating of the film will be completed in about a week to two weeks.
The work efficiency of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television today is much higher than that of the previous life.
Nowadays, the film and television industry is so developed. It's not efficient, it's definitely not good.
If it is a day or two slower, there will definitely be a lot of backlog of films waiting for review.
The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has several review teams reviewing films at the same time, and they also have to work in shifts and overtime during holidays.
Under normal circumstances, it takes a week for a film to be submitted for review. Qualified films will be sent to the Dragon Mark and the film review decision, and the unqualified ones will be sent back to the production unit for revision, and the specific opinions will be written in the film review decision.
Of course, if you encounter a popular schedule and there are too many films submitted for review, the review and rating will be completed within two weeks at the latest.
Such a review time is completely acceptable.
If the progress of the film goes smoothly, the first trial rating of the film will definitely be completed before Mother's Day next month.
As for the second technical review, it is very simple, and it can be done in a day or two.
The technical review is nothing more than taking it for screening, and it will pass on the spot without any problem, and almost 99% of the films will be directly reviewed.
This level usually won't get you stuck.
In this way, in early May, the company will be able to complete the review and rating work, and the progress of the work will definitely be much earlier.
If a small number of digital copies are urgently made, the company can strive for a small-scale test screening and screening in Yanjing in mid-May.
If the film has a good reputation, it may be able to expand the scale of the film in late May, and it is likely to avoid the fierce competition in the summer season.
It's really not good, in late May, the company will definitely be able to start the work of film test screening and screening.
This is the company's current work arrangement.
In fact, the submission for review will begin on Wednesday, and at the same time, the publicity department can expand the publicity momentum, and the propaganda department has been prepared for this for a long time.
The official trailer of the first version and more exciting tidbits will be brought out for fans to enjoy in advance and create momentum.
Some media public relations and propaganda should also be carried out simultaneously.
There is also a movie viewing meeting for the theater manager, which will also be gradually launched. We can do it in the near future.
These tasks are done by various functional departments of the company, and Zhou Yi does not need to worry too much.
Next, it depends on the business capabilities of the company's top executives.
On Wednesday morning, the company had prepared a set of high-definition digital programming tapes needed for digital film submission. The front and side of each tape and box are labeled with the title and the producer.
These are not only the standards for review, but also the company's fixed procedures, which are responsible for the inspection and inspection.
Moreover, the company has prepared a variety of detailed and complete materials for review in strict accordance with the list for review, mainly the "Domestic Film Review and Approval Form" and "Main Creative Personnel Registration Form" in triplicate and stamped with the company's official seal. All come with electronic documents.
The domestic film review and approval form mainly fills in the title, film type, cost budget, translation name, number, length, production unit, film production unit, legal representative, screen width, sound system, color, screenwriter, director, photography, composition, recording, artist, editor, production director, male and female leading actors, and story synopsis. If you don't have it, you don't need to fill it in, such as the female lead.
If there is no plan for foreign distribution for the time being, the translation can also be ignored.
At present, Zhengdong Company does not have the ability to issue abroad, and can only cooperate with large companies in this regard.
In today's China, the film and television production company and the distribution company can be the same, as long as the cinema company is not involved. This is different from some of the rules and regulations of Hollywood in the United States in the previous life, but these are trivial and irrelevant.
As for the registration form of the main creator, it is mainly filled in the title, production unit, as well as the name, gender, date of birth, current work unit and position, and representative works of the screenwriter, director, photographer, producer, composer, recording, artist, and editor.
It's funny. Zhuo Qinglian did not participate in the specific shooting of the film, but in the end, her name was still written in the production column.
The legal representative also writes her name.
Zhou Yi is hidden behind the scenes, and he will not stand in the front desk at present, and he will not appear on the stage, so he naturally will not write his name.
Zhuo Qinglian's work unit is naturally Zhengdong Pictures, not the Military Statistics Survey Bureau.
Writing about military commanders is a joke.
Her official position is not assistant to the chairman, but the company's president, legal representative, project manager and producer, and she wears a variety of titles. Anyway, it's all written blindly, whatever she makes up. She has the final say, can people still check her?
As for Zhou Yi. Only the screenwriter and starring columns have his name.
His profile is very simple, with only his name, gender, and date of birth, and no representative works.
He works for Zhengdong Pictures, and his job title is actor and screenwriter.
In fact, these registration information cannot be concealed from those who have a heart. Even if a discerning person doesn't know the inside story, he can see something according to the clues.
It's just that this kind of thing is very common in the circle, and everyone tacitly knows it and will not deliberately expose it.
In addition to the above main information, the company also needs to submit the electronic file of the completed script.
and a copy of the "Film Production Permit (Single Film)" and the "Film Script (Synopsis) Filing Receipt".
In addition, the handler receives the authorization letter with the company's official seal for the opening of the film.
As for the English translation report. Not at the moment. If you need it in the future, you can make a written declaration at that time, and there is no need to prepare it now.
With all these things ready, the relevant personnel can officially take them to the Film Censorship Committee of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for review and rating.
These things were basically done by noon.
Zhou Yi got the news at the company's headquarters and breathed a sigh of relief, and then, he just needed to wait patiently.
At present, this movie has not been released yet, so there is no need to rush to prepare for the next movie for the time being, after all, the director and others must also participate in the publicity work appropriately. Everyone's usual work is still very busy. As for the script of the TV series, the company's screenwriting team is still continuing to write, and it has not been completed for the time being, Zhou Yi can only wait patiently, and there is no need to rush to prepare the crew now.
But no matter what, after the college entrance examination, the script of this TV series can be completed no matter what you say.
According to Zhou Yi's plan, during the summer vacation, this TV series must be filmed in a hurry.
It shouldn't be difficult for everyone to work overtime.
Before I went to college, I had to get this TV series done. (To be continued.) )
