Chapter 141: New Year's Schedule
End of December, China, Guangying Department.
"Dragon Gate Flying Armor...... The Great Sage of Love......" A middle-aged man with glasses flipped through the timetable, a playful look on his face.
"Can the box office be predicted?" This is the minister's office of the Ministry of Broadcasting and Film, Wang Guohui asked leisurely.
"It's hard to say." The middle-aged man frowned slightly, "The great sage of madness has the addition of Nicholas Tse, the new generation of Hong Kong's super popular king, and Huayi Company has also made a lot of money, TWINS, the addition of Fan Binbin will undoubtedly make this film a lot more gimmicks......"
"But......" he looked at the timetable, a wistful look on his face, "this Dragon Gate Flying Armor...... But the script written by Lin Xiao ...... Starring: Li Hao, Chen Kun. Needless to say, Li Hao has a good relationship with Lin Xiao, this role should be tailor-made for him, the other party has been pressing Li Hao for several years, and finally gave him a big-budget script......"
"You mean, the beginning is to let him accumulate? Just let him explode now? ”
"From what I understand him, it should be so." The man nodded, "Chen Kun also has some works, although they are not top-notch, but they are not bad......"
"The key is that this film has Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei starring at the same time...... "He sighed" The names of these two people are now guaranteed at the box office in China...... Especially...... The script was still written by him...... His momentum in China, no one can stop him......"
Wang Guohui sighed, "There is an artist who dominates the film and television industry...... I don't know if it's good or bad...... He has been gone for almost a year, and the domestic film and television industry is still under his influence...... A mystery of chivalrous films, which has been sought after by major domestic media, is like the second Cheng Long, speaking of which, the Chinese film industry should be proud of him......"
"But this will stifle the development of other artists, do you mean that?" The man asked.
Wang Guohui didn't answer, and said for a long time, "Actually, what he does is not limited to artists...... The first goodwill ambassador, and the proposal of micro-films, how much impact did it have on the development of films? We all know in our hearts that in the second half of this year, the number of video uploads in Dawning China increased by one-third, and most of them were made by some directors themselves. All major film and television colleges adopt micro-film assessment, and this proposal alone is worthy of being remembered by the film and television industry. ”
"The most important thing is that his influence in Taiwan and the international community has made the film department have to treat him as an image." After he finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Why don't you invite him to the Guangying Department to be named?" ”
"Think again!" The man hurriedly spoke, "Minister, there is no precedent for artists to enter the Guangying Department, most of them are behind-the-scenes personnel, and artists are not good." ”
"That's another artist, do you dare to say that he doesn't have enough influence?"
The man didn't answer, and after a long time, Wang Guohui waved his hand, "Forget it, I'll think about it again." ”
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Wang Guohui's secretary walked in with a serious expression, bowing slightly, "Minister Wang, the list of all foreign language movies for this year's New Year schedule has come out, please take a look." ”
Wang Guohui pressed his temples with a headache, at this time, it was the most headache, he should have rejected foreign films, but some movies, once refused, I am afraid that they will cause complaints.
This black cauldron naturally has to be carried by the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television, cutting out some classic shots to make the movie not so good-looking, and making everyone pay attention to their own films, which is something that every country's censorship agency will do.
For example, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in the first line in his hand.
"It's this disgusting kid again." Wang Guohui couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "Sometimes I really don't want to let him in!" ”
"There's no way around it, otherwise the publishers might be furious." The man laughed.
Harry Potter, King Kong ...... Fortunately, Wang Guohui turned two pages and focused on Hollywood, there are only two films, and there are exactly two in China, so he should be able to bear it.
Suddenly, his hand stopped.
Han River Monster, starring: Lin Xiao.
Seeing Wang Guohui's surprised look, the man hurriedly glanced at it, and was also stunned, "Lin Xiao's new film?" ”
"Korean Cinema." Wang Guohui's expression is very serious, it is definitely not a trivial matter for Chinese movies to pull each other's names, starting from the fact that there are no thieves in the world, singing triumphant songs all the way, the results are outrageous, and everyone has set a Lin Xiao production, which must be a high-quality inertial thinking.
Almost without thinking about it, Wang Guohui immediately said to the secretary, "What about copying?" Immediately invite Deputy Director Gou of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and Director Xu of the China Film Department to watch the movie together. ”
"Minister Wang!" The secretary's expression became weird, and he whispered, "I suggest you take another look." ”
Wang Guohui glanced at the other party suspiciously, and took a closer look, but he stood up with a "Huo" and his lips slightly open.
"What's wrong?! Minister? The middle-aged man asked suspiciously.
"See for yourself." Wang Guohui calmed down and handed over the information.
The man only looked at it once, and was immediately stunned.
On the distribution company, it is the name of Dawn!
It stands to reason that private companies can indeed distribute, and now it is not the time when Lin Xiao was reborn in 00, and only China Film has the right to distribute any foreign language film, since the accession to the WTO in 01, the China Film Department began to slowly delegate power, which is why in 03 Huaxia, a private company with a certain foreign language film distribution right, appeared.
However, everyone in the film and television industry understands the truth inside.
Huaxia was originally not big, but it was able to become the second foreign language publisher in the country, and Huayi, which is stronger than him, did not apply for the emperor, why? Quite simply, that is, China does not want to let go of the distribution of foreign language films at all, because the developing Chinese film industry cannot withstand such a strong impact, so in order to let the world understand that China is still very humane, it supported a puppet company Huaxia.
Behind Huaxia, there are Guangying, Radio and Television, China Film, the three major departments, Huayi, and Emperor These old companies understand this very well, and they will not insist on releasing it.
It is impossible for Lin Xiao not to know this truth, this is an open secret in the Chinese film and television industry, and he is now acting as an agent for the release of the Hanjiang Monster?
"This is snatching food from the front of the three major departments! This is a provocation! The middle-aged man slammed the information on the table and said angrily, "We won't allow this to happen!" With a dawn, there will be Huayi, and there will be the emperor to follow! We can't start with this! ”
Wang Guohui didn't speak, waved his hand to the secretary, and the other party went out in a funny way. He said lightly, "You think too simply, Lin Xiao's identity is very complicated now, and it can even be said that he is one of the faces of the Chinese film industry in the world." ”
"Who else is the face? It's Zhang Yimou. Not to mention Li An and Wu Yusen, they are all non-mainlanders, and others don't refute it, but they don't know what to think in their hearts. What really represents China is the film and television people who go out from the mainland. ”
"And...... Have you forgotten about the rallying number? Wang Guohui pointed to the top of his head, and the middle-aged man's face suddenly changed.
"That'...... The ...... who can't possibly still have a connection with him"
Talking about the one in the rallying call, he didn't dare to mention it.
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, if there is still a connection, who will take this responsibility?" Wang Guohui groaned, "In this way, I am a little determined to absorb him into the three major departments." ”
"There is no precedent for this ......"
"Precedent? Aren't precedents set by man? Mr. Lu Xun said that there is no road in the world, and when there are more people walking, there will be a road. Wang Guohui glanced at him and said calmly, "The most important thing is that Lin Xiao's current identity is really difficult to refute his face, such as Cheng Long, his own film and television company said that it would be released, and we will still let it go." ”
"How can he compare with Cheng Long? The difference in pay is five times ......"
"He has this potential!" Wang Guohui said categorically this time, "Cheng Long is the older generation, when he made a name, the world was obsessed with Chinese kung fu, and it took decades to struggle to Hollywood." ”
"And what about Lin Xiao? China has made a breakthrough in the situation of being besieged by foreign language films, and for this alone, I personally recommend that he be given this preferential treatment. ”
"And once he is absorbed into the three major ministries, it will be convenient to communicate in the future, if he wants to get involved in distribution, the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television has reviewed it, and it is nothing to hand it over to him for distribution." Wang Guohui looked at the man and said in a deep voice, "Remember, China's film and television industry is developing, now is not the time to fight for one's own selfish desires, Lin Xiao has a reputation in the world, this is a great thing, no one can say which step he can go, we should do a good job of backing up, in case he really goes to Cheng Long's step, the entire mainland film and television industry will be honored." ”
The man pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, call China Film, Radio and Television, if there is no problem with this film, it is not a big problem to hand it over to Dawn for distribution, judging from the past history of Dawn, they have been working hard to promote the development of China's film and television industry, which actually coincides with our approach."
Three days later, New Year's Day.
All theaters have received a notice that Lin Xiao's new film, Hanjiang Monster, a foreign language film, will be released by Dawn!
When Wang Zhongjun and the others saw this news, their mouths couldn't close in surprise, and the dawn actually made the three major departments nod! Dabbled in foreign language distribution!
And even more excited is Lin Xiao's fans, on the same day his official website, the official website of the star with the largest number of Chinese, built a tall building, and said that he would definitely go to watch the movie.
Other forums, large and small, have also played the same title.
"The New Year schedule is coming, Longmen Flying Armor, the Great Sage of Love, the Monster of the Han River, the Three Kingdoms Battle! Who will win the first place in the New Year's slot?! ”
"Lin Xiao's first foreign blockbuster, with an investment of 10 billion won, wait and see!"
Of course, many people have a hint of curiosity.
What will happen to this first blockbuster after Lin Xiao went abroad? Will it continue its glory, or will it fall off the altar?
Everything was set a week later, and the New Film Federation is said to have won the premiere of the Han River Monster "at great cost".
"We think it's worth it." In an interview, the head of the distribution department of the New Film Association said, "His name is a guarantee, and I believe that the Han River monster will never let us down." ”
