Chapter 315: What Should Be Done

Sage?

Li Lin feels that today's Fan Weiping is a little inexplicable, but no matter how inexplicable he is, he is also a minister-level figure in the film and television department, holding the lifeblood of these film and television companies in his hands.

"I'm not a saint."

How can a saint not be tempted in front of half a billion dollars? Fan Weiping slandered in his heart and said, "I'll tell you that it's about national affairs." ”

"Entertainment paradise cannot be in the hands of Japanese, no, I should say foreigners."

Fan Weiping said: "You should know that Entertainment Paradise has created a de facto monopoly in Huaxia, and if it weren't for the fact that Huaxia does not have an anti-monopoly law, Entertainment Paradise will inevitably be split." ”

Rockefeller, Microsoft, are all split, and compared to them, Entertainment Heaven is just a small role, but essentially the same.

"This kind of channel, for Huaxia's film and television companies, the influence is fatal, if foreigners master it, they can rely on this channel to conquer Huaxia's entertainment industry."

"Then you will be a sinner in Huaxia."

If it weren't for the kind of high-tech enterprise that Entertainment Paradise is not the kind of enterprise that is related to the livelihood and strategy of the people, he would have mentioned that the country is in his own hands, and he would have to sign an agreement at the worst.

It's a pity that the film and television department doesn't have so much power, and the entertainment industry is not that important.

Therefore, he can only speak in the name of righteousness, and he does not know what effect it can have.

In fact, he has not only talked to Li Lin alone in this kind of chat, but also discussed with the theater chain, and those people in the theater chain patted their chests on their faces and promised that they would not let Hollywood blockbusters get good schedules and good theaters, but behind their backs they broke their promises. Secretly arrange the schedule and the theater line.

Fortunately, the film and television department still has a deterrent effect in the theaters, and these theaters still know how to do things secretly, and the film and television department turns a blind eye. After all, cinemas are not like film and television production companies, which need to rely on the snort of the film and television department.

"You have to remember that you are a Chinese person, and you should guard the defense line of Huaxia."

Fan Weiping has no confidence, 400 million US dollars can be ignored, 500 million US dollars can be refused, but 600 million. What about 700 million? Now it's just the Japanese Ibex Group and Genesys Studio, and what about the Hollywood giants coming over in the future?

With the rapid development of the film industry, sooner or later, the Chinese market will attract the attention of Hollywood giants.

From the time when the movie has a box office of more than 10 million to the time when the movie has a box office of more than 100 million. They already knew about it, and they had set up a line of defense.

The first line of defense is the introduction of restrictions, and the introduction of ten films per year ensures that the Chinese market does not become a dumping ground like Japanese films.

But this cinema chain is under pressure from home and abroad, and China is the China Film that has the right to introduce it. Overseas are foreign film companies that want to enter the Chinese market.

Although Hollywood people don't look down on the current Chinese market. But it also cultivates the Chinese market as a potential market, but Japan, South Korea and Bollywood have been peeking at the Chinese market, hoping to let their own films enter China, use the Chinese market to absorb nutrients, and cultivate their own film production.

The second line of defense is scissorhands, ensuring that the gap between Hollywood movies and Chinese movies will not be too big, at least in front of Chinese audiences.

However, despite the popularity of entertainment video sites, this restriction has gradually lost its effect. Because on entertainment video sites, Hollywood blockbusters are all uncut. There are even quite a few director's cuts.

The so-called director's cut is the director's cut work.

In Hollywood, movie editing is not in the hands of the director, but in the film editor, generally speaking, the movie theater plays the edited version of the editor.

However, as a director, how can the hard-earned film be edited by others, although the director cannot resist the request of the investor, the director will also edit the film himself.

In the past, these director's cuts would only be stored as directors' collections, but with the development of online entertainment video sites, director's cuts gradually have a new place, and many directors don't want to see their edited movies moldy in their hands, so they upload them.

There are also directors who upload film cuts to the Internet because of the failure of the film to prove that it is not their fault, but the fault of the editor.

Of course, there are also edited versions that are purely for money.

Like the director's cut version of "Alien" released by Fox, it is to make money.

At that time, Fox asked director Ridley. Scott cut out another version. Scott complied, but he confessed in the director's review track that he still preferred the original version in the theater. There was no need for this so-called "director's cut" to be born at all.

The third line of defense is the cinema chain, which restricts Hollywood blockbusters in accordance with the requirements of the film and television department, so that Hollywood blockbusters do not have high-quality schedules and theater releases, and the box office of movies is greatly affected.

But this line of defense is not stable, the theaters are all interest animals, and today they may be guaranteed well in front of the film and television department, and in the blink of an eye, they will cooperate with Hollywood film companies to provide high-quality theaters and schedules for Hollywood film companies.

The fourth line of defense is the film production company.

It is the rule of the business world to instruct the film production company to let domestic blockbusters and foreign blockbusters collide and crush each other, but judging from the current level of film production in China, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to want domestic film companies to compete with Hollywood blockbusters, so there is no difference between this line of defense and not having zĂ i.

One of the four lines of defense is basically paralyzed, one may collapse at any time, another exists in name only, and the last one is under a lot of pressure.

However, if it is like Japan and hands over its own film market to foreign films, even if the film and television department justifies itself, it will not be able to run away from an incompetent name, and maybe it will exist in name only, lose the power of adjustment, and completely become a puppet department, as Japan did.

"I know." Li Lin listened carefully.

He knows very well the truth that the skin does not have hair, Huaxia and Hollywood are two circles, in Hollywood, foreign artists are notoriously difficult to mix, not to mention that he is a yellow race.

In Hollywood, no one dares to say that racial discrimination is blatant, but it is secretly everywhere, especially the main force of American movies is the white audience, and those people's ability to accept the yellow race is quite poor, and Hollywood movies affected by the market naturally reject the yellow race.

Cheng Long, Jet Li, which one didn't land in Hollywood with a huge limelight, but the result? One by one, Cheng Long is okay, with the name of a kung fu artist, he has starred in several blockbuster movies, one of which is still a series, which basically established his identity as a Hollywood first-line movie star.

Jet Li is miserable.

Although Jet Li is also a kung fu artist, kung fu movies were no longer popular when he entered Hollywood, and he had no choice but to play supporting roles in Hollywood.

Chow Yun-fat also suffered the same as him, but Chow Yun-fat is better than him, at least Chow Yun-fat also has a "Pirates of the Caribbean" as the foundation, although it is also a supporting role.

Mummies and Pirates of the Caribbean are not a heavyweight at all.

If the Chinese market is conquered by Hollywood movies, he can only go to Hollywood to compete with those movie stars, without the support of a country's market, he doesn't think he will be much better than Chow Yun-fat and Jet Li, even if he is a reborn - he knows which movie is a big seller and people will not want you to act.

So he will try his best to maintain this market, at least until he absorbs enough nutrients in this market and grows into a towering tree, he hopes that this market can withstand the onslaught of Hollywood movies.

And this idea is also what the film companies in every country want, but some have done it, and some have not done it.

In Japan, film directors have protested more than once against the invasion of Hollywood and Chinese films, but whenever the Japanese government is ready to take action, the United States obstructs it, so the ideas of film directors are completely shattered.

The same is true in South Korea, where the United States has forced South Korea to open its market more than once, and for this reason, the South Korean government and the United States government have engaged in one tug-of-war after another, and finally fall step by step.

As far as he knows, in 06, the United States will attack South Korea's film industry, forcing the South Korean government not to provide funds for the film industry, and this impact, so that the Korean market completely opened the door to Hollywood, although the Korean film industry will join forces with all South Korean film production companies, South Korea's many movie stars to protest against the government, but still can not resist the pressure of the United States, and gradually open the market.

For this reason, Korean films and Hollywood films are waging war after war, and although the Korean film market is still booming, Korean films are bleeding and weakening step by step.

"It's good that you have this idea." Fan Weiping looked at Li Lin with his eyes, wanting to see if Li Lin was the kind of person who agreed openly but hooked up with foreign capital behind his back.

However, looking at it, he still didn't see an extra expression on Li Lin's face.

"We can sign a secret agreement." Fan Weiping asked tentatively, "The agreement stipulates that if you want to sell your entertainment paradise, you must give priority to domestic companies. ”

He originally intended to restrict Li Lin's sale to foreign capital, but he was afraid that Li Lin would rebound, so he changed his mind and gave priority.

"Yes." Li Lin added, "But there should be a premise, that is, under equal conditions." ”

Without the premise of equal conditions, if a foreign investment of 500 million US dollars and a domestic investment of 100 million Chinese dollars, he still has to sell the company in his hand to a Chinese enterprise, then he is called crazy.

"Also, I need your help." Li Lin said.

"What's the matter?"

"Loans." (To be continued......)
