Chapter 444: Tucao Meeting

Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommended ticket!

Of course, the software support of this system developed for the Pentagon is only one aspect, and it is associated with a lot of hardware, otherwise the other party would not be able to pay so much money for just software.

Zheng Rongxuan spent fifteen minutes to give the prime minister a general lecture on the defense capability of this system, and the prime minister was also a little foggy, after all, he really didn't know many of the professional words in it, and fortunately Secretary Li didn't go out and was able to help remember it, otherwise he didn't know if he would be able to go out and relay it again.

wanted to record this matter, but neither the prime minister nor Zheng Rongxuan mentioned it again, everyone just knew it, Zheng Rongxuan could understand that his memory was not as good as before, so he didn't plan to worry about this with him, otherwise he wouldn't have said it.

Although Zheng Rongxuan said something general, the prime minister can still understand that the Pentagon's new system has been upgraded by several notches compared with before. However, Secretary Li on the side was already a little speechless and complaining in his heart, it seemed that Zheng Rongxuan said a lot, but it was all introductory, and the specific content was not mentioned.

Of course, Zheng Rongxuan can't tell the real and confidential things, then who dares to buy their own things in the future, everyone is worried about whether the seller will leak the buyer's secrets, Zheng Rongxuan will not sue the prime minister about the secrets of the United States, and he will not casually say the secrets related to China, which is the most basic professional ethics.

After chatting with the prime minister for more than half an hour, he was informed by the secretary outside that the person in charge of the Ministry of Culture and related industries had arrived, and the prime minister said: "Xiao Zheng, the main reason for inviting you here this time is that the comrades on the cultural front want to hear your opinions on domestic films and television, so I will occupy your time to talk to them for a while." ”、

Zheng Rongxuan said with a little crying and laughing: "Prime Minister, do you still need to call in person, just let them make an appointment with my agent." ”

Secretary Li couldn't help but complain in his heart: It's not that they didn't make an appointment, but that your big secretary said that you were busy getting married and didn't have time to come over!

Zheng Rongxuan knew that the prime minister was able to find time to convene these people urgently, and he must have adjusted other schedules, so it was better to play with Kim Hee-sun. Naturally, he can't save the prime minister's face, anyway, he and Kim Hee-sun have time at night, and they will fly back to India tomorrow.

Originally, Zheng Rongxuan really shouldn't have been asked for this matter, after all, he is world-renowned as a technology and writer, screenwriter, and songwriter, but no one can ignore his contribution to the increasingly prosperous Korean film industry, more than half of South Korea's films are invested and shot by CGV every year, as for the profits, it seems that in addition to the films of the CGV Group, there are really few companies, so there are fewer and fewer companies in South Korea that dare to invest in films, and they can't afford to lose.

But as a country, I don't seem to care about this problem. Anyway, most of them are state-owned capital, and even if they lose money, there is no punishment, private capital like CGV China and Huayi still invest more in TV dramas every year, although there is also investment in movies, but only a dozen or twenty films a year.

After coming to the conference room with the prime minister, Zheng Rongxuan met several leaders of the Ministry of Culture and the Propaganda Department, as well as the heads of several cultural industry groups, including Han Sanping and Lu Qing's apprentices, and of course, Wang Zhongjun was not missing.

After listening for a while, Zheng Rongxuan was speechless at the kung fu of this group of people. Almost all of them are fake and empty, only a few heads of cultural industry groups still said something dry, and the rest are thriving, and the specific reason is that Zheng Rongxuan doesn't want to pay attention to it. There's no need to pay attention to it, Zheng Rongxuan doesn't care if they really think like this, or they don't dare to mention it if they have ideas.

Originally, Zheng Rongxuan didn't want to say anything when he saw this, but the prime minister listened for a while. He directly blocked them and said, "If it's really so good, then today's meeting will be unnecessary." Okay, in the face of facts, you must seek truth from facts, Xiao Zheng is not an outsider, and you don't need to hide it. Xiao Zheng, you also know a little bit about the situation in China, just tell me what you think, tell the truth, what you have to say, even if you say it wrong, it doesn't matter if it's not suitable for them. ”

Zheng Rongxuan dismissed the prime minister just now, this time he was really embarrassed not to let him get his wish, and after thinking for a while, he nodded slightly and said: "That's okay, Prime Minister, leaders and friends, I will share some of my thoughts with you." ”

"Benefiting from the good policy of domestic reform and opening up for 30 years, the domestic cultural industry has also made great progress, but we must see the gap between us and other countries, first of all, there are too many deficiencies in the general environment, the biggest point is that piracy is strict, how many years of piracy I think you know better than me, the movie has just been filmed and edited for review, and even the other end has come out to pirate, and the box office of the direct director zhì has almost become empty talk. Although there has been some improvement in recent years, the legislation on piracy is still too lacking, and the cost of piracy can be risked by them, anyway, it is to fine some money, so it is hoped that the punishment will be increased in terms of legislation, so that every link in the piracy industry chain does not dare to violate the law.

My second point of view is that the salary of artists has risen too fast, take a movie as an example, an investment of 30 million, almost half of it is taken up by the artist's salary, although the salary of unknown or well-known actors will be lower, but the investor is worried about whether the investment can be recovered, as far as I know, domestic films, screenwriters complain that the actors' salaries have risen too fast is not once or twice, which is why our CGV China company will be said to be the cradle of newcomers, not that we don't want to use big names, but we can't afford to use them, The investment is not cost-effective.

For the same first-line actors, the investment of US$10 million accounts for half or more of the salary of actors in China, 41% in India, 38% in Japan, 35% in Thailand, 33% in Malaysia, and less than 30% in South Korea.

So don't see CGV booming in South Korea and other countries, but also analyze why this is happening, because our investment will be more focused on improving the quality of the film, rather than into the pockets of the actors.

On this issue, I hope that the competent authorities can introduce a policy to limit the rapid rise of artists' salaries, adjust the investment distribution ratio of a film and TV series to an appropriate proportion, and allow more investment to be used to improve quality.

The third point is that the subject matter is too limited! ”

If you say the first two points of view, everyone agrees with them very much, as soon as Zheng Rongxuan said this, it immediately aroused everyone's high vigilance, they really didn't dare to say this kind of nonsense, Lu Qing even began to beat a little drum in his heart, and he wouldn't turn back because of Zheng Rongxuan's words to put on small shoes for himself.

Seeing that everyone who originally agreed very much, suddenly all shrank their heads and lowered their eyes, Zheng Rongxuan was suddenly a little speechless, but he still couldn't help but complain: "Prime Minister, you let me tell the truth, then I will really say it." ”

The prime minister seemed to be aware of what Zheng Rongxuan wanted to say, but he still wanted to hear it, even if it was a sensitive topic: "It's okay, just say it, I also want to hear your real thoughts." “

Zheng Rongxuan nodded slightly, and continued: "There are too many restrictions on domestic themes, and it is indeed necessary to promote the positive and positive image of the party and the country, which I also agree, but we can't always live in the past, but we also have to look at the reality and the future, so the diversification of the subject matter can meet the higher and higher needs of the audience."

Or take the film as an example, when we think about CGV China, we are often able to recover the investment first, and then consider the profit, and this is only the case for Chinese companies, and none of the other branches does not put profit first.

Why? In addition to the above-mentioned piracy and investment in the proportion of actors, it is the limitation of the subject matter, and everyone in China is swarming to shoot action, comedy, love, anti-Japanese war, and ancient costumes.

For another example, why I used Korea as the main battlefield when I first wrote the novel in "Dragon War", in fact, it is a pure Chinese mythological story from the root, because I know that it will be almost impossible to shoot in China in the future, while in Korea I can express it without any worries.

In the movie, almost half of Seoul was destroyed, and Frog Terrace was bombed, which could not be approved in China, not to mention that I had to seconded the army to BJ City to shoot, so I didn't think about it from the beginning.

I know this kind of thing has to be done step by step, but we have to start somewhere, so I suggested that it would be better for a few film companies here to test the water and relax the review criteria for other genres. “

Zheng Rongxuan's complaints still didn't come out in the end, just point it out appropriately due to time constraints, everyone is a smart person, I believe they should all be able to understand, of course, if you pretend to be confused, there is no way.

This spit is not completely without effect, in addition to strengthening the crackdown on piracy, and in the next two sessions began to legislate, in the media also began to hype up the income of all artists, as well as screenwriters, directors, investors have complained about the high salaries of artists, it is difficult to improve the quality of film and television, and finally after nearly a year of fierce media war, in 09 years the state issued the highest price limit of the text, and asked the society to supervise the income of artists, Artists who have been reported for violating the rules will be severely fined according to the violation process, and the maximum fine may be hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan, which finally cools down the artists' excessively rapid salaries.

There has also been a slight breakthrough in the theme of film and television, but this is a long-term process, and after more than half a year of discussion, Shangying, Huayi, and CGV China were selected as pilots. (To be continued......)
