Chapter 303: Surprised
A lot happened in March, at least for Wang Shang.
The king's father told him that the wedding date was set on May 16, 2009, the twenty-second Saturday of April (small), according to the king's father, this was the best wedding day after inviting a master in Xiangjiang to calculate according to Wang Shang and Liu Xi's eight characters, and then Chong Ji Ji You or Xi or something, Wang Shang did not understand.
And the marriage naturally doesn't have to worry about Wang Shang, there are already parents on both sides and Liu Xi to handle it. And Wang Shang didn't want to invite many people, nor did he think about turning the wedding into a drinking party to make friends, just invite good friends.
Subsequently, Huaxia's "Fast and Furious 2" and "Biochemical Apocalypse 2" were invited to participate in the Oscars, and the nominees were dubbing, editing, and photography......
In addition to two things, there was a shocking news in Europe -
On 20 March, the European Union () was formally established. This time it was established no longer just that trade, agriculture, finance, and other aspects were close to unification, but now it has completed the merger in other aspects such as internal affairs, national defense, and foreign affairs, and has become another federal power after the United States.
Although the formal establishment of the European Union is a natural and natural thing, it is not surprising that its combined national power has made the whole world tremble.
Its establishment may have been the result of the last resort based on the strength of China and the United States.
Since then, the world pattern has once again undergone turmoil, from the original China and the United States to the three major superpowers of China, the United States and the European Union.
After World War II, the name of the center of world power began to shift to North America, controlled by the United States, and European countries became followers of the United States. Whether it is economic, technological, or military, all aspects are constrained by the United States. The master becomes a younger brother. The younger brother has become the master, which can be described as extremely aggrieved.
Therefore, after the establishment of the European Union, it is natural that it will start to change its role. Take ownership again. The economy must be re-planned, and the military must be taken to a higher level. Technology must evolve strongly.
As a result, the EU began to reform in a big way.
For a time, the European Union frequently appeared around the world, and Huaxia also ushered in the visit of the EU mission.
"Huaxia Film" reported: "The EU mission wants to open up the distribution channels of both sides with Huaxia. â
Wang Shang, who was filming in the crew, watched this entertainment news, and his heart jumped suddenly.
The EU mission to China originally belonged to a high-level existence and had nothing to do with Wang Shang at all, but now. It's related.
For a long time, the movies imported by China that can be released are from Hollywood, and they are currently divided into 30 films and 20 buyout films. And other films abroad. It can only appear on the Internet, it is completely impossible to be shown in movie theaters, and it is impossible for DVDs to appear.
For Chinese films, unless they are added by American studios (such as "Fast and Thrill"), films released through American distribution channels can be released outside of Europe. Other films were only released in a few small European countries, and they were all bought out at low prices.
Therefore, there is a fault line between the European film market and the Chinese film market.
At this time, the European Union sent a delegation over to discuss the opening of the film channel between the two sides, which obviously made Wang Shang very happy. Some time ago, Wang Shang was still thinking about waiting for the issuance right to be approved. Find a way to go to the United States and acquire a company with a European distribution channel to enter Europe. Now as soon as the EU mission comes, this step is simply omitted.
"God help me!!" Wang Shang pinched his fist and made a powerful movement.
"The right to issue cannot be delayed any longer, so as not to cause extraneous complications." Thinking of this, Wang Shang hurriedly called General Manager Bi Han. Because if you want to establish a distribution channel in Europe, you must have the distribution qualification in China, which is a reasonable condition put forward by the EU mission.
Wang Shang made two phone calls to get through, and General Manager Bi Han was busy with the company's organizational structure upgrade at this time, and he was already busy. After Wang Shang explained, he took the crew to shoot "Transformers" with peace of mind.
The plot of the whole Transformers is basically the same as the original, but Wang Shang added more Transformers to it, and at the same time enriched the fights. In order to shoot the International Financial Center Building in the magic capital, Wang Shang set the final battlefield in the magic capital, so the location of the fire must be placed near the magic capital.
When the script was originally set, Wang Shang set the location of the fire and the frozen Megatron in the sea near the magic capital, which happened to be a small island in the sea near the magic capital in reality, which is a small military base, a point of the coastal defense line of Huaxia, a military forbidden area, and no one can approach.
So Wang Shang changed the location of the fire storage and the location of the frozen Megatron from the 'Hoover Dam' to this small island military base, although it is a bit ridiculous, but the movie itself is nonsense, so don't care about these details.
ââââââââââ
On March 25, the teams of "Biochemical Apocalypse 2" and "Fast and Furious 2" came back to the United States, still accompanying the prince to study, and did not win any trophies. And Wang Shang also knew from foreign media that the EU's film trip to the Oscars was also to accompany the prince to study, and I don't know if it was because the establishment of the European Union made the United States uncomfortable.
On March 27, Wang Shang received an invitation from the China Film Association to participate in the 2014 Huaxia Film Awards as a guest on April 2. However, Wang Shang was rushing to rehearse "Transformers", so naturally he didn't have time to participate in the Academy Awards, so he refused.
"Mr. Wang, are you sure you won't go??" When Wang Shang replied by email that he would not go, the other party called, very sincerely.
"It's strange, I didn't go in the past few years, they didn't have such good sincerity, what's wrong this year? I even called to ask? Wang Shang wondered in his heart
In order not to give the other party the impression that he is proud of his talents, Wang Shang explained: "I'm sorry, now I'm filming "Transformers", I can't leave at all, and now I have to hurry up with the schedule." â
After hearing this, the other party was silent for a moment and said, "The people above want to see you." Then he hung up, as if to remind him secretly.
"The people above? What do you mean? Wang Shang was at a loss in his heart, "Could it be those bigwigs, or leaders?" â
The so-called bigwigs are those seniors of the older generation, they have been growing up with Huaxia Film and Television since they were born, and they are all over the world, and most of the filmmakers in the country are related to them.
As soon as you stomp your feet, the film and television industry will shake three times.
And Wang Shang is only a director and a boss with good grades, but in terms of real connections, it is still far behind.
And these bigwigs, there are ten recognized in Huaxia, although they are retired, their disciples all have deep connections in Chinese film and politics, and their influence is top. However, they usually rarely show their faces, but sometimes they show their hands to make the people below remember them as legendary figures.
And when the Chinese United States negotiated with the United States, it involved film policy, and they also had their shadows.
An Pingshi, the president of Modu Film and Television University, is just an apprentice, and Ruan Jie, the vice chairman of the Huaxia Television Artists Association, who was awarded the Best Screenwriter Award by Wang Shang at the 2002 TV Drama Golden Eagle Award Ceremony, is just one of the big guys, not a high-ranking and low-ranking apprentice. It can be seen how deep the background of these bigwigs is.
"The big guy shouldn't be looking for me, but those leaders of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau will, but for what?" Wang Shang thought about it, and Wang Shang didn't need to present the award at all, "Is it because of the recent EU mission?" â
But no matter what, Wang Shang had to go there.
And at this moment, Wang Shang's phone rang.
"Boss, the matter of the approval of the issuance right, in the last approval, someone said something and was suppressed."
"Crushed??"
"Yes......"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Shang was silent, and Bi Han naturally wouldn't talk nonsense, that is to say, someone really did something, but who would it be? It doesn't seem to have offended anyone during this time, right?
This distribution right is related to the development of channels in the European film market, and cannot be sloppy.
Just when Wang Shang thought of this, he received another phone call, which was from Tang Zongshi.
"Ashan, that 3D technology, can it be shared??"
â3dīŧīŧâ Wang Shang directly refused, "Brother Tang, it's not that you don't know that this thing has signed an agreement with a foreign country, and if it is shared, it must be a breach of contract." â
"Oh, okay." Tang Zongshi didn't say much, and hung up directly.
Wang Shang listened to the busy voice on the other side, and wondered in his heart: "It's strange, how do you feel that his purpose is not to ask me for 3D technology but to have other purposes?" âã
