Chapter 240: Review the Levels

"The Ministry of Culture rejected our conditions, claiming that it would be difficult for censorship to be opened up again!"

Overrule! It turned out to be a dismissal! Xiao Ran only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and his face had already changed several times, if it weren't for his excellent calmness, he was afraid that he would show it immediately. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info His heart was gloomy, and he still refused their request, and he was still unwilling to open the most critical ones!

Xiao Ran expected this result, but he still had a glimmer of hope and hoped to pass. However, now he refuses. Xiao Ran smiled miserably, unable to imagine that all his efforts in the past eight years had turned into a river of spring water.

After barely greeting the others, he took the phone and kicked the sand on the beach and walked off into the distance. The others didn't notice Xiao Ran's expression, but how could Lin Qingxia not see it, so she also greeted her and followed.

After taking a few steps, Xiao Ran's frantic mood gradually calmed down. If it weren't for the fact that everything was at stake, he would never have been so flustered, but fortunately, the good composure he had practiced allowed him to calm down quickly. Wei Dongling, who was on the other end of the phone, understood Xiao Ran's mood very well, and did not continue to say anything, but quietly waited for Xiao Ran to speak.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ran slowly settled down, quickly thinking that this matter might not have a turnaround, and immediately asked in a deep voice: "What is the reason for their refusal?" This is important! ”

"They think that the grading system is not suitable for the introduction at present, and they think that our request is not suitable for the national conditions of the mainland, so they refuse!" Wei Dongling smiled bitterly, he has been partnered with Xiao Ran for so long, and he can be said to be the person who knows Xiao Ran's ideals best except for Lin Qingxia. Unexpectedly, now it was just a sentence, and it immediately sealed their ideals.

Xiao Ran's heart sank again, these reasons actually did not completely block the expansion of Hong Kong films, but at least in the short term, there will be no further progress, and Xiao Ran will know about the national situation when it moves out.

Next, Wei Dongling described the incident again. This was an official phone call from Huang Qun, who told him that there had been quite a lot of controversy within the political axe about it, and the chief did not say anything about it. In the end, this trick was used to temporarily seal it.

"Moreover, Huang Qun told me in his capacity as vice minister of culture!" Wei Dongling's tone became even more bitter: "The mainland will send a recall message to all filmmakers who are from mainland exchange students, let us make all preparations!" ”

Xiao Ran trembled slightly, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes. At present, film talents from the mainland account for at least 30% of Hong Kong's main creative personnel, and if it is recalled, it will mean nothing!

But why do you do that? Countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Ran's mind, and suddenly his face changed suddenly, and he spit out word by word: "They plan to abandon us to make movies on our own and make Chinese movies by ourselves!" ”

Wei Dongling had already felt miserable on the other side of the phone, and he quickly realized this as soon as he heard this. What he doesn't understand is that he didn't see how much harm this would bring to Hong Kong films? In terms of talent, Phantom even opened up such a key company as infinite special effects to exchange students to learn, and it was really chilling to think that this hand would come suddenly.

Xiao Ran didn't have the energy to smile bitterly anymore, he just laughed miserably: "They make movies? What to do? Have the money or the equipment, or are there still enough means? What would they do without us! I don't believe that mainland film studios can make any movies. ”

"Thankfully, they are not forced to recall. Instead, only exchange students who are still receiving salaries in the film studio are recalled, and as for others who have already taken root in the local area, they will go back if they want to. This is what Huang Qun told me! It was because of this sentence that Wei Dongling kept this breath to talk to Xiao Ran, otherwise his first sentence would have made Xiao Ran give up the movie completely.

If even the country doesn't support itself, then it will be a dead end to continue to do it. Xiao Ran's heart immediately became active, if there is such a mystery, it means that the political axe has not given up on Hong Kong films, and there will naturally be a great chance to maneuver in the future.

Lin Qingxia chased after her, stayed quietly behind Xiao Ran, and then asked softly, "What's wrong?" Tell me, don't always take it alone! ”

"Ah, when did you come!" Xiao Ran realized that he must be in a very chaotic mood, so chaotic that he didn't even know that Lin Qingxia came behind him. He sighed heavily and told Lin Qingxia everything.

Lin Qingxia only thought about it for a moment, and then her face changed greatly: "The censorship system is stuck, and now it is going to be recalled, so you might as well give up!" ”

"Don't get in the way, if I give up because of such a trivial matter, I'm afraid you won't marry me!" Xiao Ran tried his best to be calm, not wanting his wife to be too worried, and smiled coldly: "Mainland film studios, give them money, equipment and talents, they can't shoot anything decent!" We'll see! ”

Xiao Ran has always looked down on mainland movies, just like he looks down on men's football. Before the formation of a market for commercialization, the mainland could never afford to invest tens of millions of dollars in large-scale productions, not because there was no money to invest, but because if it did, it would definitely lose money.

That night, Wei Dongling went to Xiao Ran's house, and they felt the cool breath next to the swimming pool, while sighing deeply. It's no wonder that the current situation is not very good for them. If Wei Dongling didn't know Xiao Ran's ideals, he would definitely persuade Xiao Ran to stop the film business.

Lin Qingxia came to them with Xiao Ling'er in her arms and sat down beside Xiao Ran. The little guy was originally fine, but as soon as he saw Xiao Ran, he immediately stretched out his little hand and grabbed it, but he couldn't catch it, and he immediately cried. Lin Qingxia was very depressed, and jealously gave Xiao Ling'er a hug to Xiao Ran: "Don't let her see you in the future, otherwise when I see you, I want you to hug me again!" ”

Xiao Ran shaved the little guy's small nose lovingly, and the little guy immediately stopped crying, and glanced at his mother proudly, and then focused his eyes on Xiao Ran's face, as if there were flowers on Xiao Ran's face.

Holding Xiao Ling'er, Xiao Ran fell into deep thought, it was difficult to describe the whole thing. However, he still thinks that all this is not the worst ending, and it may not be without a chance to save: "I think that the political axe wants to get its own film industry, but mainland films have not been competitive, which makes them turn their attention to us!" ”

"After a few years, there are more and more exchange students, and we have cultivated more and more film talents. At this time, we propose further liberalization of censorship, which I am afraid is difficult for them to accept. Therefore, they think it is still necessary to grasp it themselves. It's just that their confidence in this point should not be very sufficient, after all, marketization cannot be formed in a moment! So, it's not like we don't have a chance. ”

Wei Dongling sighed, he knew that he couldn't hide it from Xiao Ran. However, the Phantom is now so big, it will not be easy to suddenly transform. If it is really completely blocked by the mainland, then if the Phantom wants to seek the best development plan, the best way is to march into Hollywood. It's just that in this way, the Phantom's base was transferred to North America.

"Things are not as bad as we thought......" Wei Dong quickly sorted out everything and pondered: "Except for these two points, everything else has been opened. China Film no longer has a monopoly distribution position, and the proportion of cinema investment can reach up to 51%. I think in this way, they are a quid pro quo for us. ”

Xiao Ran shook his head, this matter is not necessarily wonderful, no matter how talented people return, the key is that this censorship system is stuck. As long as this can be opened, plus distribution and cinemas, then Xiao Ran will have enough courage to enter the mainland market.

Interestingly, at least 30 or 40 Hong Kong films can enter mainland theaters every year. And the basis before the film bureau's review is interesting, simply funny. First of all, they excluded it according to Hong Kong's classification system, and they very definitely excluded the third-level films, which basically do not need to be censored.

Therefore, the film bureau's review often focuses on the two levels of 2A and 2B. is still a little relaxed on the second A, there is always most of it that can be passed, and only a small part of the second B can pass the pass. And the people in charge of mainland distribution under the big four companies often complain that it is better to make a classification system themselves.

"I've thought about it, and with the current situation, we can quickly talk about entering the mainland market." Xiao Ran thought about it for a while, investing in the theater is a matter of filming. In terms of issuance, the four giants have all set up branches in the mainland, and they can set up issuing companies at any time.

"However, in terms of censorship, we can't deliberately change our creative thinking in order to take this into account, simply put, we can't have any less, and we would rather not release it in the mainland!" Xiao Ran's tone was very categorical, and he waved his hand fiercely.

Now, he doesn't care about anything anymore, and the Phantom can't afford to lose money. If you lose your unique charm in order to cater to it, you don't need to be impacted by others at that time, and you will soften and lose your competitiveness.

"...... like this" Wei Dongling sometimes doesn't know whether to say that Xiao Ran is stupid or persistent, other businessmen are in pursuit of profits, and Xiao Ran is certainly pursuing profits in other industries, but it is for movies: "It's okay, I think I don't have you a say in this regard!" ”

"There is one more thing, tomorrow it will be announced that the industry will immediately raise wages by 20%!" Xiao Ran smiled coldly: "Now working in the Hong Kong film industry is one of the best professions, so I'll give them another push and see who can challenge the status of Hong Kong films." I'd like to see if the exchange students want to go back......"

With Xiao Ran's reminder, Wei Dongling remembered one thing: "The estimate report came out, this time I returned, I believe that the only people who left were still receiving salaries in the film studio were basically the only ones who left, and this number was only two groups of people in the past year, accounting for about 35 percent." I believe that others will not choose to leave Hong Kong, so the loss of this repatriation is not particularly large for us. ”

Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, at present, there are as many as 30,000 Hong Kong film employees, and the main creators account for about one-twentieth of them. If there is no mainland market and the number of films produced does not increase, it will basically reach saturation. This does not go much, and it leaves a certain amount of room for relaxation.

Lin Qingxia listened to their discussion while staring at Xiao Ling'er in Xiao Ran's arms. Xiao Ling'er, who was still in the swaddling clothes, seemed to feel very comfortable in her father's arms, and after listening to Xiao Ran and them talk for a while, she stretched out her little hand, closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep.

Xiao Ran glanced at Lin Qingxia's eyes, and when she saw that the little girl was asleep, she also showed a faint smile of relief, men who have children are very different. Seeing the couple's expressions, Wei Dongling sighed: "Don't irritate me, okay, I have no wife and no children, and sooner or later I will be angry with you!" ”

"Haven't you proposed to Li Jiaxin yet? Or is she unwilling to marry you? Lin Qingxia smiled, and she also needed a little gadget to adjust her nervous work: "Mr. Wei is a super rich man with a net worth of almost tens of billions!" ”

Speaking of this, Wei Dongling was depressed, he didn't want to propose too plainly, if only it could be as romantic as Xiao Ran's proposal to Lin Qingxia. However, it seems that it is not easy to do this, after all, it is praised as the most romantic proposal of the century. As long as it can reach three or four quarters, then he is embarrassed to propose.

"Ah Ran, you can help me think of a romantic marriage proposal!" Angry, Wei Dongling immediately shouted and tried to solve his life's major affairs: "Otherwise, I will still pester you in my next life, Ge Wenqiu's kid and An Yuxuan are separated and married, you can do it yourself!" ”

Lin Qingxia suddenly ate and laughed, Xiao Ran was very depressed, what did his Wei Dongling's marriage proposal have to do with him, and he actually asked him to design it: "It's better like this, when you win the best film next year, you can propose to her." ”

"Isn't this trick too old-fashioned, the whole world is learning from you, I'm still learning, that's too much!" Of course Wei Dongling didn't do it, since Xiao Ran came like this, many women asked their boyfriends to make some romantic proposals, which made Xiao Ran resentful of men all over the world.

"Ok, I'm scared of you!" Xiao Ran raised his head in frustration and took a sip of water before saying, "You will publish an advertisement in the newspapers of Hong Kong tomorrow and propose to her with this, this should be romantic enough!" ”

After thinking about it, Wei Dongling glared at Xiao Ran and shook his head, such a move was still not romantic enough. Xiao Ran thought about it, if Wei Dongling was an actor, it would be easy to do, and he could take the opportunity of filming to propose, which would not be bad. After thinking about it carefully, he immediately smiled weirdly: "It's better to be like this, you pretend to be shot and propose to her before pretending to be dead!" ”

Wei Dongling wanted to beat Xiao Ran now, so he punched him hard: "Are you helping me or destroying me?" Forget it, I'll figure it out myself, let's get down to business! ”
