Countless filmmakers want to isolate film from politics and economics, but unfortunately, it has inevitably been linked to these elements from the day it was born. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hollywood has used the power of the state to force other countries to open up their markets, not once or twice. The most typical examples are Taiwan and South Korea.

Wanwan could not withstand the pressure of the United States, stripped the local market to the brim, and then was embezzled by outsiders. In the 70s, in order to protect local films, the government mandated that theaters must show 146 days of local films in each hall every year; Television stations must also broadcast a certain percentage of domestic films.

Coupled with the fact that at the end of the 90s, censorship was replaced by a grading system and creativity was liberated, and Korean films finally soared.

But in fact, there have been two large-scale mutual analities between the people and the government. One was in '98, in protest against the government's reduction of film quotas, almost all Korean filmmakers went out to shave their heads to demonstrate, and finally forced the government to back down.

First, in 2006, the Roh Moo-hyun government said it would reduce the film quota from 146 days to 73 days. A large number of filmmakers gathered again to protest in a sit-in, but the government took a hard line and imposed a 73-day quota.

What is rare is that Korean films did not slump, but fought to catch up. Take 2013 as an example, nine of the top 10 films of the year are local films, comedy films such as "Hidden and Great", costume films such as "Looks", political themes such as "Berlin", horror and suspense "Hide and Seek", and pure love such as "The Gift of Room 7".

It's a very interesting thing, the government compromises, and the people don't compromise. The filmmakers are competitive, and the audience is also supportive, and only one of the top ten box office in Korean film history is a foreign film. Wanwan and South Korea are both dominated by the terror of the United States, but the results are diametrically opposed.

TALKING ABOUT OURSELVES, MANY PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT A QUESTION, IF THE MARKET IS FURTHER OPENED TO HOLLYWOOD, WILL DOMESTIC FILMS BE ABLE TO HOLD?

Let's not talk about this first, let's talk about domestic attitudes first.

After the announcement of the "Memorandum of Understanding between China and the United States", the theater high-fived each other because it could make more money. Large companies are worried on the surface, but in fact they are running to tell each other, because there are more industrial channels. Movie fans are more hilarious because they can see more blockbusters.

In the eyes of large companies, this is not pressure, but opportunity, an opportunity to break into the global market. Since 2012, several major American giants have set up offices in China, and there are more and more Chinese faces in the blockbuster, and American big names are running more and more frequently in China.

Hollywood is full of Chinese looking for projects, and China is also crowded with Hollywood businessmen looking for funding. Ali invested in "Mission Impossible 5", LeTV and Legend filmed "The Great Wall", Huayi joined hands with STX, and 18 films will be made in 3 years; Television and radio media teamed up with Lionsgate to sign a three-year $1.5 billion deal, which will invest in 50 films of the other party and participate in the global box office according to the proportion of investment.

We have capital, Hollywood has channels, just like in "Big Names": We can make Yankees, no, make money from fans all over the world!

Of course, Hollywood does not pay attention to Chinese capital, but the market in the final analysis. However, those people are not worried about being embezzled, because the country is not a serious market, it is centralized control.

The introduction, scheduling, and distribution of foreign films are almost all in the hands of China Film. If you don't like it, you will arrange for it to be released on the first day after the long holiday, and several imported blockbusters will be released in a bunch and postponed...... If you want to hit the box office, you can arrange to release it on weekends, as well as domestic film protection months, etc.

This kind of control is hated by many people, but from another point of view, it has indeed dealt a blow to overseas invasions.

So who is really hurt?

It is a small and medium-sized company in China, as well as a domestic film with a small and medium-sized cost. The plate of the Chinese film market is getting bigger and bigger, but the quality is getting more and more scummy, and it will be like this for a long time before the audience's aesthetics do not reach the point of picking up the "fake big empty" by themselves:

The giants of China and the United States joined forces to eat meat, and the rest of the people drank soup collectively, but the really sincere films were forced to survive, and even died quietly.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to exchange the Chinese market for the internationalization of Chinese films, which is a strategic issue. But what I am most afraid of is that all parties only care about money, but the overall level of the movie has not improved, and it is the audience who is fooled.

……

Surprisingly, the biggest gain from this visit to the United States is not the Oscars, but some new information and ideas. Chu Qing faintly guessed a few points, and he was worried at first, but if he figured it out, it would be no problem.

From China-Hong Kong co-production to Sino-US co-production, it is the general trend of industrialization development, and those who have the ability and foresight can go further, and those who are conservative and backward can only be eliminated.

Of course, what he does is different from others, while strengthening cooperation, he still has a lot of energy to spend on the support of domestic films, doesn't the Beijing Film Festival do this?

So the two discussed all night, and then established a new direction for the company: to focus on the batch of films, including good films in the United States and around the world. It is best to make money, and what cannot be made should be seen by domestic fans in theaters, such as "A Farewell", which just shined at the Berlin Film Festival.

After Chu Qing decided, he immediately called Han Sanping, and he gave him more face, and gave two batch of film indicators at once.

And he picked and chose from the many trailers provided by the peak, and he also won one in truth, buying out the domestic copyright for 500,000 US dollars, this film is called "Source Code".

……

In the blink of an eye, it was March, early spring.

"Guanyin Mountain" and "The Piano of Steel" were released one after another within ten days, and March was the off-season, which became a paradise for literary films and leftovers. At a glance, no one is an opponent, because they can't be sold.

The original "Piano of Steel" was a big hit, with a box office of only 6.41 million. "Guanyin Mountain" has the gimmick of Fan Xiaoye's Tokyo actress, coupled with the strong publicity, it won nearly 70 million box office.

is different now, she loves and hates this film, and her heart is all on "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart". The company's strategy is a small operation, and only some hard radio and media pages have been launched, so the word of mouth is popular, but it is certain that it will hit the street.

There is hope for winning the award, both films have signed up for this year's Golden Rooster Awards, especially Wang Qianyuan, Tokyo was lost once, and he is full of expectations.

As the Beijing Film Festival is getting closer and closer, Chu Qing is so busy that he doesn't touch the ground, holding meetings all day long, sometimes at the Film Bureau, sometimes at the General Bureau, and sometimes at the city government. Fan Xiaoye was not idle, "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" was launched at the end of the month, and she went to Wu * Han to experience life in a serious way.

Morning, Hankow.

In the reception room of a large company, the boss personally accompanies him, and from time to time, employees deliberately pass by and glance inside. Today's guest is Fan Xiaoye, she has run through the company's commercial performances, and the relationship is still successful.

The two chatted for a while, someone came to report, and after a while, a short middle-aged man was brought in.

"This is Wang Hao, I don't need to introduce this one. Okay, let's talk about it first. ”

The boss said, pacing slowly to the side to look at the scenery. Wang Hao looked very nervous and stammered: "Fan, Fan, Fan......"

"Brother Wang, don't see outside, come and sit."

Fan Xiaoye took the initiative to greet and asked, "I heard that you are quite familiar with Hanzheng Street?" ”

"Ah, it's okay."

The guy nodded awkwardly, Ya was a small head of the local forces, and he was suddenly brought over as a tour guide, and when he saw it, he wiped it! Fan Bingbing!

Lao Tzu believes in you!

"Then I'll say it bluntly, I'm going to make a drama and play a girl. I don't know much about this, so I want to experience it, and I would like to ask you to help. Fan Xiaoye said.

"Uh......"

He didn't respond directly, asking, "How do you want to experience it?" ”

"I'll be what I'm like. You'd better find a girl, and I'll eat, live and work with her. ”

"Poof!"

Wang Hao was almost scared to death, sister, do you know what life Bian Dan lived? You always have to do something, you say Hanzheng Street, all the martial arts * Han have to be beaten hard!

He turned his head to look at the boss, but the boss didn't say anything, so he had to say: "Miss Fan, you may not know very well, the flat burden is really hard and tired, you estimate, estimate ......"

"Yo, you're afraid I won't be able to stand it! In that case, you can show me first, and then we'll talk about it when it's over. ”

"Uh, well, when are you available?"

"Now!"

Fan Xiaoye turned to the boss and said with a smile: "Brother Ang, then I'll go first, thank you for this trip." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

The boss personally sent him downstairs, and signaled to the buddy that he must take care of it.

Fan Xiaoye wore a mask and sunglasses, and under Wang Hao's posture of serving Lafayette, he got into a broken modern car. Soon after the turn and turn, the scenery on both sides is obviously different, the streets are narrower, the shopping malls are lined up, and the crowds are increasing...... Looking up, an old archway is stamped not far away, and it reads: Hanzheng Street Small Commodity Market.

The car did not go in, continued to walk inside, and finally stopped at No. 19 Huai'an Yili. Here is a small alley, a simple bungalow with a water, in a dilapidated appearance.

"This is the flat house, built by others and rented out, two yuan a day."

The three of them got out of the car, and Wang Hao led the way to introduce them, looking at the window from time to time. Fan Xiaoye followed with a shallow foot, and saw him knock on the door of a certain household, and a swarthy woman appeared.

The two spoke a few words in dialect, and Wang Hao beckoned them in, and the woman stood at the door in a daze.

"Vomit ......"

As soon as Fan Xiaoye took a step, he felt a sour smell mixed with a musty smell, and it was thick and thick. She couldn't help her stomach rolling, Lin Leyi's face was also very stinky, looking inside and out.

The room is less than 10 square meters, with wooden beds, bunk beds, and the walls are no longer visible in their original color, and the top of the head is half-rotten wooden beams. There were also very few things, a washbasin, a kettle, and a rice jar with paint off.

"Just her living by herself?" Fan Xiaoye asked.

"There used to be a fellow villager who died a while ago."

"Huh?" She was startled.

"I didn't get up on the truck after pulling the goods, and I died suddenly!" And rightfully so.

“……”

Fan Xiaoye didn't say anything, and walked two steps in the house, and the heels of his shoes were stuck on the uneven brick floor. Wang Hao's eyes flickered, and he asked carefully, "What do you think?"

“……”

Still not.

He did it on purpose, and he didn't want to take this trouble, so he deliberately found a bitter place, hoping that the other party would retreat from the difficulty, and said: "Miss Fan, I don't know much, but I think that experiencing life doesn't necessarily have to be tried in person." You talk to them, have more contact, don't you count as ......"

As he was talking, he was suddenly interrupted by the other party: "Okay, I'll live here!" (To be continued.) )
