Chapter 635: Cooperation with CCTV (Subscription Requested)
and the uncle and eldest brother finalized the matter, and the next day, Han Jin found Ji Fanghua and the three of them and deployed the next work arrangements to them. ↗ Top Novel,
Hearing Han Jin say that the first drama was going to be a war scene, Ji Fanghua and the others couldn't help but be stunned in surprise. They are authentic Hong Kong people, basically have never experienced war, and they do not understand the so-called national ruin, family hatred, and hatred of the country.
"Jin Shao, do we really want to make a war movie?" Huang Jiaxi was embarrassed.
Han Jin nodded, "That's right, this is also the instruction of the leader above." ”
At the banquet, Minister Ai and Minister Zhu both mentioned this matter, and in Han Jin's opinion, this matter must be done.
"But we don't know how to make war movies." Ji Fanghua was difficult.
Hong Kong directors have always made war films, regardless of their kind.
The movie "Shanghai Night", which was also during the Anti-Japanese War, was made into a comedy of love triangles; A "Sword and Horse" during the warlord melee period, I haven't seen how many countries hate family feuds, but the hero and heroine play handsome to their heart's content, and there are a lot of scenes of love and entanglement; "Waiting for the Dawn" during the fall of Hong Kong also turned into a love triangle......
Hong Kong directors like to start from the perspective of small people, through the experience of small people, to see the big from the small, reflecting the changes of the entire era. Such as "Shanghai Night", "Dao Ma Dan", "Huang Feihong", "Sunset Song" and so on.
The little man is completely incapable of resisting in the face of the rolling wheel of history. Even if his martial arts are as strong as Huang Feihong, he may be able to dodge even bullets, but in the face of vicissitudes of life, he can only sigh in vain. reflects the helplessness and sorrow of the people under the changes of the times.
Mainland directors like to look at the overall situation and look down on the changes of the entire history from the perspective of God. Like "Southern Expedition and Northern War", "Armageddon", "Shangganling" and so on. And especially like to create heroic characters, typical characters. Give them the ability to influence the big picture and change history.
Like Wang Cheng in "Children of Heroes", he fought to the point of being a soldier and finally died heroically, but he successfully held the high ground, repelled the enemy's attack, and won the final victory.
In "Southern Expedition and Northern War". The focus was on the senior officials of the two parties who commanded the operation, and they were the key to determining the course of the war. As for what happened to ordinary soldiers and small people, there is not much to be written about.
Even movies such as "Tunnel Warfare", "Mine Warfare", and "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" also played a key role in the protagonists, and in "Tunnel Warfare", the militia company commander Gao Chuanbao read "On Protracted War" at night, invented tunnel warfare, and smashed the sweep of devils; Ga Zi in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" ignited the bunker at a critical moment and disrupted the enemy's position from the inside. Let the villagers enter the city smoothly......
Han Jin also knew this, so when he heard Ji Fanghua say this, he nodded and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, I will discuss with Minister Ai when I look back on this war drama, and invest in filming with CCTV." They will pay for them, and you will just follow and accumulate experience. By the way, discover talents. Filming in Hong Kong and filming with the mainland. are all very different. As soon as I came up, I asked you to tinker with big projects, but I was afraid that something would happen if I didn't have enough experience. ”
Ji Fanghua nodded when he heard him say this.
"By the way, I plan to build a film and television base in the Yimeng Mountains when I go back." Han Jin said again, "This is a big thing, you go back and visit the field." See how it should be built. ”
"Do you want to build a film and television base in the mainland?" Ji Fanghua said in surprise.
"Where is the Yimeng Mountains?" Li Xiaolin asked curiously.
"The Yimeng Mountains are in Luzhong." Han Jin said, "The scale of Shaw Brothers Cinemas in Hong Kong is still too small, and it is impossible to make a movie with a grand scene." But if you want to build a cinema in Hong Kong, the cost of land alone is ridiculously high, not to mention that there may not be such a big place. Case. It's better to come to the mainland to build a movie theater. Land here is very cheap, and the mainland market is much larger than Hong Kong. ”
Huang Jiaxi and Ji Fanghua both nodded, both of them were born in Shaw Brothers, and they knew that although Shaw Brothers Cinemas was known as the No. 1 cinema in Asia, because there were too many movies filmed in it, people had a kind of aesthetic fatigue.
Some veteran fans can even shout when they see the set which movie it has appeared in, and because of this, the Shaw Brothers movie has been criticized, making fans feel cheated. Therefore, this method of filming in the studio was quickly abandoned by Hong Kong directors, and in order to pursue a more realistic feeling, they turned to the suburbs, urban areas and even overseas to shoot on the spot.
Of course, this does not mean that Shaw Brothers Cinemas has been abolished, in fact, in this cinema now, there are still crews filming here every day. Filming in the cinema can be unrestricted, and the price is low, the props are complete, and the service is considerate, which cannot be achieved by live shooting.
Some TV series and low-budget movies still like to shoot in the studio. Like costume films, Republic of China films, science fiction films, etc., can only be filmed in the cinema. Therefore, not only can the cinema not be replaced, but on the contrary, it still plays a great role.
"Jin Shao, how big are we going to build this film and television city?" Ji Fanghua asked curiously.
"Well, the overall plan is at least 30 million square feet." Han Jin thought about it and said, he remembered that Hengdian Film and Television City covered an area of more than 4,000 acres.
"......" Ji Fanghua, Huang Jiaxi and Li Xiaolin were all scared.
Shaw Brothers Cinemas is known as the largest cinema in Asia, covering a total area of only 520,000 square feet, with a total floor area of only 1.1 million square feet.
This studio is thirty times larger than Shaw Brothers Studios, and it feels incredible to think about.
"Jin Shao, do we really want to build such a big cinema?" Ji Fanghua bit her finger and asked tremblingly.
"It's just a long-term goal, and of course the short-term goal is not that big." Han Jin waved his hand and said, "But I hope you can plan in advance and find such a large piece of land first, so as not to find that there is no land when you develop in the future." ”
"Yes." Ji Fanghua nodded hurriedly.
……
Han Jin then took them to CCTV again and met with several leaders over there.
In the future, Kunpeng Film and Television Company will officially open, and it will inevitably have to deal with CCTV.
Now take them there to recognize the door, and in the future they will have to walk around on their own.
"Mr. Han, congratulations, I heard that the new company has been registered. When it opened. Give me a letter, and I'll be there for it. Director Wang said with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you." Han Jin smiled, "It's about to open, but now the company has two or three big cats and kittens, and there is a lack of talents." Leader, do you want to sponsor a few? After introducing Ji Fanghua and others, Han Jin joked.
Director Wang also laughed, "You, digging the foot of the wall and digging into our platform?" In the past, you were digging into the corner of socialism. ”
Han Jin also smiled, "Who let the leader you adjust well, your subordinates are pure and good soldiers, I don't dig from you, where do you dig from." ”
When Director Wang heard him say this, he also laughed. "I don't dare to give it to you by myself, but I also know some good people, and I'll introduce you to them later."
"Thank you for your support." Han Jin nodded, "By the way, in addition to visiting the door this time, there is also something to discuss with the leader." ”
"I know that you have nothing to do but ascend the Three Treasures Palace." Wang Taichang said with a smile.
"Well, that's right, yesterday with Minister Zhu of the Central Noise Department. Minister Ai from the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television had dinner, and they heard that I was going to invest in filmmaking. He suggested that I make a war drama. Han Jin said, "But you also know that our director in Hong Kong doesn't have this ability, let him make martial arts films, and making war movies is purely to catch ducks on the shelves, so I want to ask the station to support it." ”
When Director Wang heard him say this, he couldn't help but smile slightly. "What's the support method?"
"Well, in this way, we will pay for it, and there will be people in the stage. The director, actors, props, cinematography, etc., are all from the stage. We financed the shooting. After filming, the copyright is 19 points, and the income from selling films will be distributed according to this share. Han Jin thought for a moment and said.
"Ninety percent of us?" Director Wang said with a smile.
"......" Han Jin glanced at him depressedly, "Director, you are only a person, we still have to pay a salary, and the income is not small." ”
Director Wang smiled, "One achievement is one success, but we CCTV can broadcast this TV series for free when we turn back." ”
"Well, you can only play it for free once, and you'll have to pay for it later." Han Jin thought for a moment and said.
If it was like "Journey to the West", it would have to be broadcast once every summer vacation, then his loss would be great.
"It's too little to broadcast it for free once, Comrade Xiao Han, you have to be considerate of the difficulties in the station." Director Wang said, "That's it, play it for free for two years." ”
"Uh...... A year, no more. Han Jin said.
"What about a year and a half?" Director Wang thought about it again.
Han Jin was completely convinced, "I said leader, why aren't you atmospheric at all?" ”
"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, I want to be atmospheric, but looking at the little money in the station, how can I be atmospheric." Director Wang explained.
Han Jin nodded, knowing that CCTV's main income is still financial allocation, and advertising revenue now accounts for only a small part. It wasn't until the 90s after the restructuring of CCTV that advertising revenue began to surge. It grew rapidly from less than 270 million in '91 to 4.5 billion in '97.
"Well, a year and a half is a year and a half." Han Jin nodded.
Director Wang became happy at this time.
CCTV's annual filming volume is seriously insufficient, which is far from meeting the needs of the audience, but the station really has no money to film, so Director Wang is also very aggrieved.
If they cooperate with Han Jin now, they will pay for it, and the film can be played for free for a period of time, which will not only revitalize the human resources of the station, solve the problem of idle employees, but also solve the problem of shortage of film sources, which is really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
"In that case, let's settle it." Han Jin nodded.
Director Wang also smiled and nodded.
……
After reaching a cooperation intention with CCTV, Han Jin came to the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television with four copies of the film, wanting them to see if these films could pass the review and be released in China.
"Hello, Minister Ai, meet again." Han Jin said with a smile.
"Are these the four films you brought?" Minister Ai asked with a smile when he saw the pile of movie copies piled up at Han Jin's feet.
Han Jin nodded, "These are all movies produced by our company, I think the quality is not bad, take them and let the ministry review them, if only they could be screened." ”
"Well, your Hong Kong films are indeed much more advanced than our mainland films." Minister Ai smiled and nodded, "But there aren't too many forbidden things in there, right?" ”
Han Jin smiled, listening to Minister Ai say this, he knew that his own scale was still quite lenient, as long as there were not too many prohibited things, he should be able to pass the review.
"Don't worry, Minister Ai, I know in my heart that the selected film is still more suitable." Han Jin said, "You can let the comrades take a look at it first, and if it doesn't work, I'll revise it." ”
Minister Ai nodded, and then the messenger took the copy away for review.
"If you can successfully pass the censorship, I will help you sell these movies." Minister Ai said with a smile, "Now these movie theaters in China are also waiting for good movies to be released." ”
"Then I'll thank the minister." Han Jin said with a smile, with the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television helping him sell films, it seems that it is difficult for him to make money or not. (To be continued......)
