It's no wonder that the premiere of the whole people's attention has already attracted all the attention, and naturally countless people are curious about the box office results of "Returning the Pearl" on the first day, why didn't the media put this news in the headlines?
What's more, breaking 100 million on the first day, this is not very common in the history of discourse film and television, and it is naturally worth writing a special book if you can count how many of them are counted on your fingers.
"Hey, we almost broke your record now, do you have a sense of crisis? Hehe. Xinru said to Wu Tian with a smile.
"Good results, congratulations." Wu Tian said with a smile from the old god.
"What, not anxious at all? You're a big Hollywood director, and you've been pressed down by us, so you're not in a hurry at all? Xinru said with a pout.
"You're just trying to fool me into making another blockbuster, aren't you?" Wu Tian said with a smile.
"You...... Can you not be so smart? Xinru sighed in frustration.
"It's not that I'm smart, it's that I have a lot of ears and eyes." Wu Tian said with a smile, "Listening to Pengju, have you been looking for books everywhere recently?" Looks like I've found a good book.。 ”
"Alas, it's boring, there's no suspense at all." Xinru pouted, took out a stack of documents from the briefcase he carried, and handed them to Wu Tiandao, "Na, take a look at it yourself, I feel that this book is not bad." ”
Wu Tian glanced at the three words "Partner" printed on the homepage, and said with a smile: "This book is okay, but I can't shoot it." ”
"Have you read this book?" Xinru said.
"I heard Pengju say two words," Wu Tian said with a smile.
As an international director, Wu Tian naturally knows very well that he can't afford to waste his reputation, so all along, Wu Tian has explained to several large companies under his command, as long as he receives a good book, he must give him a synopsis of the story, and if he is interested, he will take over.
Jiao Pengju has now joined China Film, although he is not nominally the number one, he has completed the actual control of China Film, and it is naturally not difficult to carry out Wu Tian's task of selecting scripts.
"I think this script is very good, and it is very suitable for you to shoot." Xinru said with a smile, "You have never filmed content that reflects the development of the times of Chinese enterprises, this book can just fill your blanks." ”
Wu Tian couldn't help but laugh and said, "When did you start to care about these mainstream public opinion guides?" Are you really ready to be a qualified producer? ”
"What's wrong? In the Chinese film and television industry, don't they all have to be like this? "The heart is like a doubtful way.
"Alas, it seems that when you make a "Returning the Pearl", you have been poisoned a lot by those rules in the circle." Wu Tian shook his head and said, "It's a pity that I've been working hard for so many years to unlock the creation of Chinese film and television, but it doesn't seem to be successful, the people in the entire industry have been brainwashed and solidified their thinking, and if you want to make this industry active again, the difficulty is not ordinary......"
If any behavior pattern is restricted for a long time, even if the pattern itself is wrong, it will form an inherent correct impression, and even after unlocking, it will be difficult to recover in a short time.
Just like now, the ideas of Chinese cultural creators who have been sealed for so many years have already formed a fixed concept, which can no longer be broken so easily.
This is not a situation that Wu Tian wants to see.
In the past few months since the trial implementation of the film classification system, several pilot films have been selected, and all of them have been released, and it will only take a while to wait for the conference in March to officially adopt the trial draft.
It's like if you take out a knife and gun, and if you don't have all the soldiers in Mianyang, how can you fight well?
"We now need a blockbuster event to wake up those in the industry who are still on the fence, so that they can be sure that the plan is really starting to be implemented, and they don't have to worry about repeatedly." Wu Tian said, "But how should this blockbuster event be arranged?" ”
On the golf driving range of Tianrenju, Wu Tian said to Gao Yang and Jiao Pengju while playing.
These two people can be regarded as Wu Tian's most important helpers in the capital, especially Jiao Pengju, although he was born in games, he is a self-proclaimed cultural person, antiques, literature and art are not left behind, and now he has entered China Film, and he can help Wu Tian in this kind of problem.
"Well, it's actually very simple, that is, two B and C films can be released on the big screen of the theater, and everything will be solved by then." Jiao Pengju said.
"I think so too, but the question is, if you look at the movies that are being made in China and waiting to be released, which one is so big that it is rated B?" Wu Tian sighed.
According to the rating system, Grade B films are only allowed to be watched by audiences over the age of thirteen, Grade C is only allowed to be watched by those above the age of eighteen, and the lower level D is not allowed to be released at all!
But at present, in the domestic film and television industry, not to mention C-grade films, there is no B-grade, at most there are some sub-A grades with one or two shots that are out of line, and even the adventure and thriller of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has become the only B-grade film among all the graded pilot films.
"I'm afraid it's too late to shoot it myself now." Jiao Peng frowned and said.
"Actually, it's not like China hasn't made Grade B and Grade C films from time to time." Gao Yang smiled, "But all of them have been banned by the General Administration, hehe......"
Wu Tian and Jiao Peng glanced at each other, and their eyes suddenly lit up, yes, since there is nothing to shoot now, and it is too late to invest in filming by yourself, why don't you think about the way out of those "banned films" in the past?
Since the 90s, the domestic film market has entered the stage of "opening up", and making movies is no longer the patent of those state-owned film studios, and many "oppositional" directors have emerged, making rough dreams at very low costs and under extremely difficult conditions.
However, it is undeniable that these rough films have a full soul, and compared with those regular films produced by state-owned factories, those grassroots directors have made really good works.
However, those works inevitably have difficulty passing the increasingly stringent review on some issues, so many films simply "sneak out" and go to Europe to participate in film festivals, and win back one award after another.
Among these works, there is actually no shortage of fine works, including the works of Lao Mouzi and Jiang Wen, and the works of Xiao Gang as the protagonist, these big names cannot avoid a similar fate, not to mention the masterpieces of those new directors......
In China, it is not easy to admit historical mistakes, and certain inherent thinking makes people think that admitting mistakes will be a shameful thing and will seriously damage the dignity of certain groups. Therefore, except for the old man Fang's leading admission that the ten years were a mistake, there has never been a similar situation of slapping himself in the face, even if there is, it is only a few small things, not enough to affect the overall situation, even if there is, it is only in the form of default, and it is rare to publicly admit mistakes and self-condemnation!
"Well, it's really very difficult to lift the ban on all of them, but it's not impossible to lift the ban on only one or two films, right?" Jiao Pengju said.
Wu Tian nodded and said, "Then you have to think about it, which ones will be lifted......
Gao Yang said: "I'll recommend one, how about "Apple"?" ”
Wu Tian couldn't help but laugh and nodded in agreement with Gao Yang's proposal.
"Apple" can be said to be a recent banned film that has made a lot of trouble, unlike the original "banned films" that went to foreign exhibitions knowing that they could not pass the trial, and even angered the General Administration, "Apple" did not plan to go abroad to participate in the exhibition, and honestly sent it for review, but because of some shots and positions, it was passed by the above, and the filmmaker was angry, so he simply didn't change it, and directly put the film on the Internet, and came to watch it for free for the whole people. So the sad one was not only banned, but also severely punished, as if the relevant personnel were all arrested and reformed.
This film is still starring a big girl, and a full fruit appearance is also one of the reasons why it can't pass the review. And this is in line with Wu Tian's plan to launch a "C-grade" film - of course, if it is just those shots, it can only be regarded as a B downgrade at most, but the film is too "realistic", and it is not a loss to count him as a C-grade.
"Okay, this one counts." Wu Tian said, "Well, let's have another old film, don't have a big-name film for the time being, the impact is too great, how about finding an easy one, such as "Blind Well"?" ”
"Hey, you've also watched "Blind Well"?" Jiao Peng said in surprise.
"I'm also a director, okay?" Wu Tian rolled his eyes and said, "I'll leave this matter to you to deal with, and if you have any difficulties, look for me again." ”
The key to unbanning films is to consider whether the leaders of banned films are now going up or down.
Can't people pinching your hat right now, you just run to expose other people's old bottoms and slap them in the face, right? Then you definitely don't want to mix it up. Therefore, in this system, there is only the mistake of making mistakes, covering up the past, and never revealing the old bottom and making the leaders unable to come to power!
Therefore, Jiao Pengju happily accepted the order and first went to find the producers of the two films, and expressed his willingness to help them put the two films on the big screen, on the condition that they would get half of the box office revenue after the release.
Who can refuse such a good thing? After all, their films have been "banned", and there is no possibility of receiving a penny at the box office, and now someone is willing to contribute money to help you release the film, all you need is to run to the General Administration and submit an application, not to mention half of the box office, even if everyone at the box office is leaving, they will agree, not to mention anything else, as long as it is released, the fame that comes back will be worth a lot of money!
As a result, soon the classification review applications of the two films were submitted to the relevant departments of the General Administration, and soon the news about the classification of the two films spread, and soon set off a big discussion on the Internet.
This time, the two films proposed a rating review, rather than the original release review. According to this rating system, it will be carried out in strict accordance with the rating standards, except for special themes involving sensitive issues such as politics and politics, religion and religion, and general theme films will basically give a suitable rating standard, unless the film is too bloody, violent, sexually pleasing, etc., will be judged to be a D standard, and it is not allowed to be released and distributed, as long as it gets the top three levels of review and evaluation, it can directly enter the theater.
This means that the grading review is equivalent to the original distribution license!
This means that as long as these two films pass the classification review, the ban will be lifted!
Whether these two films can pass the review means that Chinese films have truly entered the era of classification, and it means that the environment suitable for film art creation has arrived......
It is not surprising to say that this review will pass.
No, Wu Tian soon received a call from Second Brother Mu, but Second Brother Mu was very annoyed: "Xiaotian, are you going to be unable to get along with me if you engage in that "Blind Well"?" Brother hasn't messed with you lately, has he? ”
