Chapter 328: This Era
February 19, General Directorate.
Tong Gang arrived early and was sitting in the small conference room, waiting for others to come.
As the new head of the Film Bureau, he has been more anxious recently, because everything happened very suddenly, almost without warning, and he conquered Berlin at once, and the people were boiling at once, coupled with the help of the media to add fuel to the fire, he was suddenly forked on the shelf.
Heart congestion, the mess of my predecessor, clean up for me?
Don't look at the party as just a small actor, but when it comes to the line of public opinion, how many people are waiting for the official verdict. He didn't dare to call the shots, so he reported to the General Bureau, and he came to the meeting today.
About five minutes later, the door was pushed open, and six people came in turn, the first five were colleagues from the General Administration, a standing second-in-command, one in charge of propaganda, one in charge of TV dramas, one in charge of media organizations, and one was the director of the newly established Network Audiovisual Management Department. These are just that, but the sixth person was unexpected, it was a certain big name in the propaganda department.
When Tong Gang saw it, he immediately got up to greet him, and at the same time speculated in his heart, I am afraid that there is a big event to convey, otherwise just based on the little bad things in the media, please don't move this master.
Sure enough, the big coffee sat down and immediately sent a few copies of the text, which everyone passed on.
Tong Gang took the opportunity to look at several colleagues, and seeing that their expressions were the same as his own, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. I picked up the text and flipped through it, and as soon as I glanced at it twice, my heart suddenly sudden, and I looked up at the main seat.
The others were not much better, and Qi brushed his face gloomy.
"This is the instruction I just received. I don't need to say more, everyone knows the severity of this matter. ā
The man slowly glanced around and said, "But I still have to come here myself." In order to tell a few more words, we must do a good job of the media, especially the Internet, the information is spread too fast, too wide and too uncertain, and it is easy to cause panic, so I am choked to death. ā
"Understood, understood!" The director nodded hurriedly.
"There are also film and television dramas, and the recent review should also be noted. There is no discussion about the theme of movies and TV series that are related to the content or easy to cause associations. Take it directly! ā
The man knocked on the table and emphatically said, "Comrades, you must know that in front of this matter. Any problem is not a problem! ā
Everyone is not stupid, this is a life-threatening thing, so they have expressed their stance and promised to take care of their own stall.
The man gave him a few more words of encouragement, and then the meeting was adjourned.
Tong Gang wanted to stop the second-in-command of the General Bureau, but hesitated, he originally came to deal with Chu Qing's matter, who would have thought about it, and was shocked by a big news. I don't know if I should ask.
Fortunately, the second-in-command saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and his heart was clear. deliberately left a trail and said: "Lao Tong, now that the policies are open, do what you want to do boldly, don't be afraid." ā
As he spoke, he patted him on the shoulder and continued: "As the saying goes, there are three fires for a new official to take office. I know you have pressure, but you are also a capable and experienced old comrade. If your predecessor has a mistake, you will correct it, and if you have an advantage, you will inherit it, as long as you don't violate the big policy, I absolutely support you! ā
That's it!
A big stone in Tong Gang's heart fell to the ground instantly, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, what you said is true, but on the media side, I still have to help you knock and knock." ā
"Well, I have a number."
The one looked very helpless and said: "Those people in the south will add to the chaos, and when there is a disturbance, make sure that the first one jumps out." How do they know what is wrong with us? ā
ā¦ā¦
Beijing, Huayi.
"We have determined that Poly is planning two mergers and acquisitions, targeting Huayi and Bona, which are expected to start in the second half of the year. Judging from the nature of these two companies, the positioning after the merger and acquisition, Huayi should focus on the system, and Bona should mainly promote the issuance. ā
An executive clicked the mouse, and the PPT on the screen showed a pyramid-shaped graph of numbers.
"Everyone knows that the entertainment industry is a big cake in the future, and state-owned enterprises can't bear it anymore and have taken action to seize resources. I won't talk about it at the capital level, just talk about artist management and production, and those who have obtained film and television licenses and are qualified to compete are Huayi, Bona, New Picture, Hairun, and us. In terms of funds and channels, we are relatively weak, but in terms of market acceptance, we are the most popular, because there are Feng Dao and You Ge ......"
That buddy talked in the vernacular for a long time, introducing the current situation changes and his own advantages and disadvantages, in short, it is still the same thing: the quality of the company's stars is not enough, and he only relies on one brother and one director to support the field.
After listening to this, Wang Zhonglei turned his pen for a long time, and suddenly asked: "How is Fan Bingbing's contact?" ā
"The two of them haven't returned to China yet, and the studio always refuses to meet and discuss with us on the pretext that no one is in charge." A subordinate said.
Tut!
He frowned, rather sad.
The so-called pulling a trigger and moving the whole body, Chu Qing won the Berlin Best Actor, which directly or indirectly affected not only the high-level game, but also the competition between the film and television industry.
As long as there are ambitions to sit in the village, they are in full swing of preparations, vertical and horizontal, digging deep into resources, and expanding contacts, in order to quickly establish the right to speak after the curtain opens.
The wealth of state-owned enterprises is huge, Huayi can't compare with it at all, their advantages are obvious, and they are fighting for works and stars. If you want to stay ahead of the curve, you must strengthen your strengths and make up for your shortcomings.
Therefore, the two masters in the studio, Huayi is determined to win.
"Keep an eye on me, as soon as they come back, they will send people to contact them, and the conditions can be appropriately relaxed. By the way, where are they stuck now? Wang Zhonglei asked.
"Well, they don't want to accept our capital injection, they want to maintain absolute independence." The subordinate replied.
āā¦ā¦ā
Brother Xiao Lei really wants to lift the table!
If Chu Qing hadn't won the actor, Huayi would still have the initiative, but now, people can not hang you at all, as long as you let out the wind, you must have a lot of companies to post it.
Men's brushes are forced, women's brushes are marketed, and it's a family of two, buy one get one free, who doesn't want it?
"Otherwise, talk to them according to the treatment of Director Feng's studio?"
After a long silence, a female executive said carefully.
"No way!"
Wang Zhonglei denied it without thinking about it, but then paused, and sighed: "I'll think about it again." ā
ā¦ā¦
Hong Kong, Media Asia.
Among these people, the most worried should be Lin Jianle.
First of all, the overseas distribution of "Infernal Affairs" has not yet landed, and it can't get much money back just by relying on the local box office. Then there is the prequel to the upcoming filming, and we have not yet found a suitable mainland investor.
When filming the first part, Lin Jianle wanted to make this movie a co-production, but because the script was not up to par and the identity of a certain guy, he had to give up.
When it was the turn of the second part, his mind moved again, there was no way, the cost was too high, and he couldn't stand the pressure.
The vision was beautiful, but it was crushed by Liu Weiqiang with a stick, saying that you should save it, with the three necessary conditions for the current co-production: the story is related to the mainland; There are a considerable number of mainland actors in it; It needs to be filmed in the mainland.
"Infernal Affairs 2" does not match any of them!
The purpose of making a co-production is to facilitate its release in the mainland, otherwise it will have to be subject to quota restrictions as an imported film, and there are many rules and regulations.
Theoretically, no mainland investor would throw money at a non-co-production film, but Lin Jianle had to try.
Because the second part is a prequel, without Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei, without these two people, the box office will drop by at least half. And the cost didn't go down, it was still above 20 million, and he didn't dare to take risks.
Following the trend and making sequels in a hurry is the characteristic of Hong Kong films, but "Infernal Affairs 2" was born out of the expectations of the whole Hong Kong, and he can't shoot it.
At first, Lin Jianle felt a sense of accomplishment as a savior, but when he looked back later, he realized that he was difficult to ride a tiger.
What's more, people are now panicking, not long ago, an old professor from Guangdong Province came to Hong Kong to visit relatives, infected all seven passengers in the hotel, and is trying to treat them.
In this shadow, most people have lost confidence in the investment environment.
In the first part, there was Chu Qing to help share the risk, but in the second part, he couldn't count on it. Lin Jianle called him personally and asked if he had any intention of cooperating, but the other party simply refused neatly, and the reason was very good: there is no money!
There must be no money!
The three films "Blind Well", "Uniform", and "Incense", plus the cost of spending so many days in Berlin, have already been spent.
This reason choked Boss Lin to death, and he couldn't force others.
In fact, Chu Qing is also worried, "Infernal Affairs" is like only breaking the stock and trapping himself. You know that you can't make any profits, and you have to work hard to fight for it, otherwise it's a loss.
Of course, he still has a conscience and agrees to help find it in the mainland to see if any companies that lack the heart are willing to pay money.
ā¦ā¦
On February 20, the wind was calm.
The print media and netizens who were waiting for the official reaction all felt like they were punching cotton.
Nandu fired such a big mouth cannon, and the opponent actually coaxed it, without making any announcement, only a piece of gossip circulated: there is a punishment, called Yuan Lei's internal review.
I cĒo čččč!
When the control was the strictest, a reporter was asked to write a check after only mentioning the word "Jiang Wen", and it was not profound to write once, and it had to be rewritten!
And now, Nandu's blatant provocation is only exchanged for an internal review?
The handsome man has woken up, the ugly man is still asleep, in short, everyone knows that the day is almost dawn......
It was also on the same day, under the sincere or false expectation that Chu Qing finally returned to Beijing with Fan Xiaoye.
