readx;?“ When the Americans went to the moon, Armstrong famously said, "This is a small step for me, but a big leap for mankind." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" In a teahouse in Causeway Bay, Shen Chong put down the documents in his hand and said: "This draft, if it is implemented, will be similar to the meaning of the domestic film industry. ”

"It is said that Xiao Shen has a long-term vision, and it is true. When I got the draft from thousands of miles away, I could see the key at a glance, and many people at the Beijing conference may still be confused and don't know what the significance of the draft is. Liao Yiyuan took a sip of tea slowly, then put down the teacup and said: "In my life, I have held hundreds of meetings, and I have participated in all the small meetings of the conference, and I have never held a meeting as fiercely as this one." ”

"Oh?" Shen Chong propped up the table with his arms, leaned forward, and asked with interest, "What kind of murder method?" You always tell me about it. ”

"The meeting almost staged a Romance of the Three Kingdoms and engaged in the Red Cliff War." Liao Yiyuan laughed twice, picked up the lighter, lit a cigarette, and then said: "China Film Company is Cao Cao, the input and output company is Sun Quan, the stubborn old man Wang Yang of the Beijing Film Studio is Liu Bei, the three parties are fighting back and forth, and the quarrel is inextricable, especially the old man Wang, I have known him for decades, I know him stubbornly, but I didn't expect him to be so stubborn and completely admit death, he must carry out box office account sharing reform in Shenzhen, no one will listen to him, Minister Huang of the Ministry of Culture personally went out to persuade him, he said on the spot, or he put his director hat off, Otherwise, he will have to be responsible for the interests of Beijing Film Studio. ”

When Shen Chong heard this, he was fascinated and said with a smile: "Next time I go to Beijing, I have to bring some good things for him to extinguish the fire, otherwise Beijing will be burned." ”

"Who's to say it's not." Liao Yiyuan also laughed, and then said; "You know, mainland films are purchased and sold in a unified manner, the national fixed price, 900,000 a movie, at the end of this meeting, China Film Company retreated, and promised to increase the purchase price by 100,000, 1 million a piece, if the box office is good, more than the quota, you can also return 100,000 yuan to the studio in the form of rewards, as soon as this condition comes out, other film studios have died down, only the old man Wang is stubbornly fighting, he must be treated the same as the input and output company, and engage in box office sharing in Shenzhen, you don't know, When the quarrel was fierce, he slapped the table and shouted, saying why can foreign film companies get a share through input and output companies, but not mainland film companies? Engage in differential treatment, are you China Film Company a comprador of foreigners? ”

Shen Chong laughed and said, "This old man, you really dare to say anything."

"I think he's out of the way." Liao Yiyuan took a puff of cigarette and said: "In the past, the country engaged in a planned economy, and no one had anything to say, but now it is different, engaging in reform and opening up, advocating emancipation of the mind, Wang Yang came to Hong Kong twice in a few months, and you gave him a bunch of foreign film materials, after opening his eyes, the 100,000 small favors are not enough to watch." ”

"Old man Wang is a lot older, and his courage to fight is stronger than that of a young man.

"I see, he was bewitched by you." Liao Yiyuan pointed at him with his finger holding a cigarette, and said, "Not only Old Man Wang, but I, Old Man Liao, am not also bewitched by you, and obediently help you charge into battle."

"Old Liao, what you said is like a sinister villain."

Liao Yiyuan looked at him, swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, didn't say a word, and after half a sound, he said: "Xiao Shen, you are not simple, you are not simple, you started to lay out last year, not only to make the bureau seamless, but also to make people willingly enter this bureau, and promote this bureau to move forward, this vision, this thought, is really amazing, no wonder you can start from scratch and become a billionaire in just one year." ”

Shen Chongyu smiled, beckoned the waiter to come over and refill the water, and said, "Where do you start with this, I haven't done anything." ”

"You were in Beijing last year, first giving a speech on commercial films at the Film Academy, and then persuaded me to promote Cantonese films into Guangdong, and then tricked me into writing the box office account into a proposal and submitting it to the Film Bureau, to warm up the leaders above, and then you cooperated with "Popular Film", and opened a column on it to popularize overseas film knowledge to China, if I remember correctly, sixty percent of them are talking about film marketing, there are many doorways in it, even I, an old Jianghu, have never heard of it, this column, you did it yourself, right? Later, when the mainland film delegation came to Hong Kong, you took them to observe the cinemas of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, and before the Academy Awards, you held a seminar for filmmakers from across the Taiwan Strait and three places, and there was a big topic in it, that is, the pros and cons of the development of commercial films in Hong Kong and Taiwan. ”

After Liao Yiyuan listed Shen Chong's various actions in one breath, he said: "These are all on the surface, you also have "Film Times" and "First Film Review", these two publications are now essential magazines for mainland filmmakers, I don't know how much content there is, it is information about the marketization of films, Xiao Shen, Xiao Shen, you have destroyed the thinking of unified purchase and sales in the mainland that has lasted for decades in just one year, the central government has been advocating the emancipation of the mind and breaking the old thinking, I see, the mainland has emancipated the mind the fastest, It's just that when the leaders of other industries in the film industry were still thinking about what the market was, you broke the film market, crumpled it, and pointed it out to them one by one. ”

Although he felt like a confidant, Shen Chong never dared to wear the hat of subverting the rules of an industry in the mainland, he shrugged his shoulders innocently and said: "Old Liao, what you said I am like a reincarnation, how can I be so powerful?" Besides, if the mainland film industry is reformed or not, for me, there is no interest involved, so why bother to deliberately do such a thankless job. ”

Liao Yiyuan smiled, put down the cigarette butt, and said: "Although I don't know what you plan to do, but looking at the current situation in the mainland, sooner or later, the film industry will be market-oriented, free competition, and early reform like Hong Kong, which is also a good thing." ”

"That's what Liao Lao said." Shen Chong said perfunctorily, picked up the document on the table again, and said, "Since there is a lot of noise, how did this draft pass in the end?" ”

"Originally, according to the plan, the meeting was held for three days, but the result was a quarrel, and no consensus was reached after five days of quarrelling, and finally alarmed the highest level

"No wonder." Shen Chong suddenly, he patted the document and said: "I said that this draft, how is it much more radical than the one originally formulated by the Film Research Institute, and it actually allows mainland film studios to build their own cinemas in Shenzhen and distribute and screen them independently. ”

"Radical is a little more radical." Liao Yiyuan was noncommittal, and said: "If it is really implemented, there will still be a lot of practical difficulties, not to mention anything else, just the resistance of the China Film Company, it will not be small, before I left Beijing, I heard that the CEO of the China Film Company spoke, all the studios that build their own cinemas in Shenzhen, the purchase price will be implemented according to last year's standards, or UU million films, not in Shenzhen self-built cinemas, according to this year's new regulations to buy, 1 million starts." ”

"China Film Company is quite ruthless, and it has won over a group of people and suppressed the essence of the united front." Shen Chong smiled slightly and said: "It's simple to build a movie theater, it's not easy to maintain, a movie theater, even if it only screens one movie a month, it needs a year, Beiying is the studio that made the most movies in the mainland last year, and it only produced 7 movies, if the major studios go it alone, they will definitely not be able to survive, and Shenzhen丨 has a limited population and can't afford to raise so many movie theaters, so it is inevitable to take the joint route, but as soon as the policy of China Film Company comes out, there are still those who are determined to come to Shenzhen to take risks, I'm afraid that only Mr. Wang's Beijing Film Studio is left, after all, the difference of 100,000 yuan is not a small amount, and the 100,000 yuan can be taken steadily to build a movie theater in Shenzhen, but there is a risk, if it does not sell out, the loss will be more than 100,000 yuan. ”

"Who's to say it's not." Liao Yiyuan nodded, and then said: "But if Xiao Shen you support, Wang Yang will be able to sit back and relax even if he comes to Shenzhen alone, in this world, there is no one who is better at running movies than you, and 100,000 yuan, hehe, 100,000 yuan for you, you can earn it back in minutes." ”

"Old man Wang and I are old friends, I will not stand idly by." Shen Chong did not hide his intention to intervene, and said: "To be honest, I have applied to the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee to build a modern cinema with 10uu seats in Shekou, and after the cinema is built, if the Beijing Film Studio needs it, I can sublease it to them, and the rent is negotiable." ”

"Xiao Shen, you are so arrogant, you don't lose to Meng Weijun." Liao Yiyuan took the document, tapped it lightly with his fingers, and said with a smile: "In this draft, the Hong Kong branch of the China Film Import and Export Company was merged into Xinlian, and the Ministry of Culture asked us to unite Hong Kong filmmakers, make more movies, and make good movies, but the foundation of Xinlian was consumed in the turmoil, and now I want to film, but I am powerless, can you help me too?" ”

"Old Liao, whether it was in Beijing last year or now in Hong Kong, you have given me a lot of guidance and help, and I regard you as a teacher." Shen Chong raised the teacup and said: "Investment, co-production, borrowing, borrowing, borrowing, it's all fine, in a word, as long as I have something, you can just ask." ”

"In that case, then you're welcome." Liao Yiyuan looked at him and said, "I want to use the South China Theater in Mong Kok as collateral to borrow 10UU of Hong Kong dollars from Xiao Shen." ”

Shen Chong was slightly surprised, the theater line of the Hong Kong leftist film company is also known as the "Shuangnan cinema line", Shuangnan refers to the Nanyang Cinema in Wan Chai and the Nanhua Cinema in Mong Kok, which is the theater with the best geographical location and the highest box office in the cinema line of the leftist film company, but the leftist film company only has the right to operate, not property rights, otherwise, if it is used as collateral, the loan will not be 10uu.

"Old Liao, looking at you like this, it's going to be bigger than one." Shen Chong put down the teacup with a smile and said, "When I go back to the company, I will let the finance go to the new joint to go through the procedures." ”

"Then thank you Xiao Shen." Liao Yiyuan laughed heartily, and then said: "Wang Yang is four or five years older than me, in his sixties, his ambition has not diminished, I was in Hong Kong, the conditions were much more relaxed than him, the new co-production of the film, does not need the approval of the Film Bureau, and can be directly screened in the mainland after filming. ”
