"Xinghua Hotel" is currently the best hotel in the Special Economic Zone, and it is estimated to be three-star. It is located in the middle of the bustling Shennan Avenue, close to the political axe of Shenzhen, and has an excellent geographical location.

As soon as the group entered the door of the hotel, they were already waiting for the people inside to greet them.

The leader is a young man in his twenties, who looks good and has beautiful eyebrows, but with messy hair, a wrinkled suit, and eyes that can't be opened as if he is not awake from a hangover.

This guy walked over with a yawn, shook hands with Hu Jian casually, and said a few words that were not nutritious. When his eyes fell on Yang Lin, he suddenly lit up, as if he was awake in an instant. Coming to Yang Lin with an excited face, his eyes lit up, looking Yang Lin up and down, and his mouth was still slurking.

Yang Lin was inexplicable, and said in his heart that this guy doesn't know either? Could it be that when I saw my jade tree in the wind, I fell in love and thought of this, and I couldn't help but shiver all over my body, wouldn't it?

He was furious in his heart, thinking that he had met a "comrade", but who knew that this guy had a mouth, which made Yang Lin cry and laugh.

"You're wearing a suit, you're the legendary Armani, aren't you?"

Looking at this guy's greedy and envious gaze, Yang Lin even suspected that if it weren't for the public at this time, this person would be able to push him to the ground and pull off this clothes. But it was immediately relieved, after all, this is the 80s, the reform and opening up has just been carried out, and foreign brand-name luxury goods are still very rare, not to mention Yang Lin's latest Armani style this year. In this era, the fanatical pursuit of those world famous brands by Chinese people is absolutely unimaginable without being immersed in the scene and experiencing it personally. That's a symbol of status, a guarantee of connections, a show off of channels, and you can't get money if you have it!

This guy can recognize Armani at a glance, and he can be considered fashionable.

When Hu Jian heard this person's words, his face immediately darkened, and he scolded: "You kid can't be serious? This is a big director in Hong Kong, you kid threw all your face to Hong Kong and Macao compatriots, beware of me pinching your balls! ”

Yang Lin is sweating, this Chairman Hu is really bold, and Yang Lin also has a pain in the egg when he hears it.

When the man heard Hu Jian's words, he was not only not afraid at all, but even more excited, holding Yang Lin's hand and smiling brightly: "From Hong Kong? Okay, buddy, I like to make friends with Hong Kong and Macao compatriots the most, a family! Hehe, if you have time, our buddies will be closer and closer, in this acre and three points of land in the Special Economic Zone, you squeak if you have something! ”

Not only did Hu Jian's face get darker and darker, but Miao Yiyuan couldn't look at it, and coughed dryly: "Han Shao, it's not too early, let's"

Yang Lin looked at Mi Yiyuan in surprise, and then at this Han Shao, his eyes narrowed. With the qualifications of the identity of the one yuan, he actually said it so gently? What is the origin of this Han Shao?

Han Shao slapped his forehead with a sudden realization, and said with a sigh: "Look at you, I like to make friends the most, and seeing this brother is like seeing the ** in my previous life, there is fate!" Delay everyone, I'm sorry, all today's consumption, count it mine, don't save me, whoever saves me money I'm in a hurry! ”

Hu Jian was speechless, so he simply turned around and walked inside by himself. The three or four people who followed behind Han Shao hurriedly followed, and they were probably all Hu Jian's subordinates.

Yang Lin looked at this Han Shao and said with a smile: "I have something to talk about with Chairman Hu today, I'm sorry." Have time to find Han Shao again and have a drink together? Not to mention anything else, I can help my relatives and friends in the mainland with some electronic products or something. ”

In this era, if someone has a relationship overseas and can get a few foreign gadgets, it is not an ordinary face. As for those electronic products or something, they will probably only develop in the next few years, which is very strictly supervised and cannot be brought in at all.

Han Shao's eyes really lit up, and he could see that he was very satisfied with Yang Lin's knowledge, and immediately patted Yang Lin's shoulder again and again, smiling like a flower: "Okay, haha, I am the owner of this 'Xinghua Hotel', no matter when I am free, call the waiter to inform me, and we will have a good chat." ”

got rid of this overly enthusiastic Han Shao, Yang Lin came to the box.

The banquet had already been set up in the box, and a large table was boarded. Hu Jian enthusiastically gave the first place to Yang Lin, where is Yang Lin willing to sit? repeatedly shirked, and in the end, the eldest Miao Yiyuan sat first, Yang Lin sat at the bottom, and Hu Jian matched on the other side.

Those Hu Jian's subordinates probably didn't come to talk about things by Hu Jian, they were just escorts. In those thirty years, Wuliangye took a big cup in one mouth, and a few cups were a bottle, and Yang Lin was dizzy when he saw it. Fortunately, Yang Lin's even the middle and upper ranks are barely maintained, and these people did not pour wine, so Yang Lin was also drunk.

Hu Jian was satisfied, so he laughed and said that Yang Lin's wine was good, and his character was not much worse.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

I don't know when Chinese people developed this problem, they love to talk about it at the wine table when they have something, just like if they don't drink or eat, they can't talk about it. But you also have to admit that the atmosphere is indeed more relaxed when talking about things at the wine table, and serious topics are not too awkward.

Hu Jian handed Yang Lin a cigarette, lit it himself, squinted at Yang Lin and said, "I have also read Mr. Yang's script." To be honest, it's really good, but do you want to invest as much as 15 million? ”

Yang Lin smiled and said: "10 million can be filmed, 5 million can be filmed, even 1 million, and it can be shot in the mainland." ”

What do you mean by that? Hu Jian was a little puzzled: "Then why do you need to invest so much?" You don't know, Lao Tzu's Zhongying is now estimated to be so much profit in a year. ”

Yang Lin sighed, this person really dares to say it, are you still a Chinese film? But this is nothing in the mainland, who calls people to have the final say? He said slowly: "The question is, if you really invest a million, what's the point? "A million films, what am I doing here? Will you still run from the capital city of Baba?

Hu Jian opened his mouth and laughed: "Okay, let's not talk about these vain things." I'm a straight surname, so I'll say it straight if I have anything to say. It is impossible for the film to come up with so much money to buy it, and we don't have that much money. ”

Mi Yiyuan's white eyebrows furrowed, a little unhappy. Hu Jian, you rabbit cub playing with me? You don't have any money, you call me to a fart?

Yang Lin had long expected that Hu Jian would say this, so he smiled and said, "I know, so I don't plan to let you buy it." ”

Miao Yiyuan and Hu Jian were stunned at the same time, Hu Jian smoked a cigarette and said in a deep voice: "Also, it is impossible for us in China Film to let go of the policy of 'unified purchase and underwriting', so that you can share with the box office of the theaters below." Once this opening is opened, you can't do any work in the future, you have to understand. ”

With this policy of "unified purchase and underwriting", China Film is like holding a sword of Shangfang and killing all sides, and I am the only one. If you abolish your martial arts and open the gap, what will you do in the future? You can give the green light to this play, so why can't someone else's play? Shall thou sin against the light of all?

Yang Lin smiled lightly and nodded: "I understand, so this drama still follows the old path of 'unified purchase and underwriting'." ”

Now Hu Jian scratched his head, doesn't this kid understand what "unified purchase and underwriting" means? Go this way, this film will give you a buyout fee of 2 million in the sky, and you will not have to pay death?

The most pitiful thing about "unified purchase and underwriting" is that it is out of touch with the market, not that the more people watch your film, the higher your income. On the contrary, some good films have a good response in the market, but because the production fee given by China Film is too low, you can only watch the theater in vain and draw all the money into your pocket, of course, the benefits of China Film are also indispensable. And some films that are not fart, because the production fee of China Film is very high, they make a lot of money, but they pit the theater. Of course, most of the theaters at this time were state-run, and the country had a big business, so it was not a big deal. Of course, it's good to earn, employees will pay more bonuses, and if they lose, it's nothing, and everyone's salary will be opened.

Therefore, even if Hu Jian really wants to put aside the burden of "unified purchase and underwriting", he can't do it. This burden has formed a complete chain of interests, involving the interests of too many people, and no one can change him on his own.

Hu Jian sat quietly and looked at Yang Lin. This delicate and handsome boy, with those sparkling eyes, what is he thinking?

Yang Lin organized his language and said slowly: "First of all, we have to realize that in fact, this 'unified purchase and underwriting' policy is not beneficial to China Film, right?" ”

Hu Jian nodded very dryly, everyone knows this. China Film seems to have a monopoly on the distribution rights of films, but in fact, the root is held by those provincial film companies: I can only pay this money to buy your films, and I can't afford to buy more, anyway, the movie theater is in my hands, and I say that the box office is as much as the box office. Because there is no box office regulatory system, provincial film companies take the initiative, not only do they wantonly lower prices, but you can't sell them films. As soon as people reported to their superiors, we only have a box office of 100 yuan, and you want to sell us the film for 200 yuan, isn't this driving us to a dead end? Although the superiors know what's going on, they have to act as peacemakers, so let's sell them for fifty yuan, anyway, everyone has to make money.

After coming and going, this has become a conventional rule, and no one can resist it. Do you think China Film doesn't want to be divided by box office? His head hurt when he thought about it. But there is no way, even if you do this, the theaters below will definitely reveal the ** box office, and the result will still be the same when the time comes.

This kind of "industry behavior" is used by almost all state-run theaters, which has created a vicious cycle, causing the mainland film market to completely fall to the bottom, and even push it into the abyss of collapse.

Hu Jian frowned and asked, "What is the solution?" ”

Yang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. Hu Jian asked not the solution for the release of the movie "Assembly", but the final solution for mainland films.

Yang Lin thought for a while and said: "The whole country is reforming, and the film industry must also be reformed. From a planned economy to a market economy, the change of 'unified purchase and underwriting' to independent issuance is the stage that must be passed. ”

"What about the boycott of the theaters below?"

"It's very simple, private theaters are allowed to enter, and the state policy supports it. Finally, the cinema system was strongly promoted. Yang Lin said it very casually, because this is fundamentally the reform trajectory of the original history of mainland films. Despite these drawbacks, mainland films have implemented these reform measures since the 90s, and ten years later, the national box office has risen from less than 900 million to 6 billion. And what about before the reform? In the 80s, there was a box office of 3 billion.

"Cinema system?"

Yang Lin nodded and said: "The cinema system is the only way to go. All theaters across the country must join a cinema chain, and where there is no cinema chain, the supply of imported blockbusters will be stopped. In this way, the plan model of supplying films according to administrative regions and distributing them at the provincial, municipal and county levels can be completely ended, and the distributor will directly distribute the film to the theater, and then the theater will supply the film to its theaters in a unified manner. If there is a violation, the entire theater chain will stop supplying films until the matter is dealt with. ”

Hu Jian was very excited when he heard this, and asked again: "What is an import account sharing blockbuster?" ”

Uh, Yang Lin is a little blind, it's broken, how can you say this while talking? It took about nine years for the "import account-sharing blockbuster" to come out, right?

He licked his lips and flickered: "This is one of my ideas, to import the latest first-class foreign films in the form of internationally accepted box office accounting, and use the distribution income to support the film industry in the old, young, marginal and poor areas." Of course, this number can be stipulated, such as three to five films per year, and the censorship can also be stricter, after all, it is a socialist country, and some films that reflect the achievements of the world's outstanding civilization and show the achievements of contemporary films can be selected and introduced. Of course, this is just an excuse, an excuse to open a gap in the strong barrier. ”

This is the killer feature that he has the confidence to bypass the pit of "unified purchase and underwriting"! However, it seems that the timing of the statement is not quite right, and it is very passive, Yang Lin scratched his head in annoyance, blaming himself for being quick for a while, in order to justify himself, he could only show the hole cards.

I don't know if it will affect the effect.

Hu Jianneng is among the top leaders of domestic film groups, and Miao Yiyuan can be in charge of the overseas distribution rights of a country's films, both of which are the elite of the elite. It's just that due to the limitations of the times or the limitations of the current situation, they can't see their own advantages and disadvantages in an all-round way. And the "import account-sharing blockbuster" is even more amazing. Not to mention foreign movies, the box office of "Shaolin Temple" alone is 100 million. Even if you order the box office, you have to have 50 million, right? According to the internationally accepted box office accounting form, 35% of the producer, 17% of the distributor, and 48% of the projection, then China Film, as the only distributor in the mainland, can get a share of 10,000 yuan! How much did the film in "Shaolin Temple" sell that year? Less than two million! That's a box office of 100 million!

This trick is simply too insidious! The excuse is above board, and no one can refute it. As for saying that you dare to ** the box office? It doesn't matter, we can't keep an eye on the whole country, and we can't keep an eye on one or two provinces? Just catch a chicken and kill it, those monkeys who dare not be obedient? Whoever is not well-behaved, I will not give you a film! This is not one of those small films in the mainland with a national box office of less than one million, as long as it is under the banner of "imported account-sharing blockbusters", it is really a piece of garbage, and it can sell tens of millions! When the film is stopped, no one else will be used, and those movie theaters in this province will be able to tear you apart! How much can you? Can't settle accounts, huh?

Miao Yiyuan touched his chin, looked at Yang Lin with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you kid has more than that, right?" (To be continued.) )
