Free screenings? This is a violation of the rules!

The news was published, and the entire film and television industry was fried for a while, and those film and television production companies all scolded.

"This is destroying the ecology of the industry and will seriously damage the development of the entire film and television industry!"

"Jiudu Space Film and Television Company is a spoiler without a sense of responsibility in the industry, and the Chinese film and television industry will be completely disrupted by him!"

"I don't believe they will release it for free, they are hype of Chiguoguo, and in the end, they will make money at the box office through theatrical releases to recover the cost of investment!"

"I can't help but think of the leak of the source of "Absolute Love", and Director Li Mu seems to have tasted the sweetness of piracy......"

"Such a person should get out of the film and television industry!"

TV, newspapers, the Internet, all kinds of headlines, all of a sudden hyped Li Mu's new film "The Last Days" to the top.

However, compared with the various slanders in the film and television industry, netizens are jubilant.

"Free distribution? Awesome, movie tickets can be cheaper in the future. ”

"Dream upstairs, it's no wonder that the movie theater is willing to lower the price for you!"

"Director Li is mighty, he can't afford to go to the cinema, so he expects you to continue to release free film sources!"

"Director Li is a good director who is dedicated to netizens, and a good director who really understands art, rather than getting into the eyes of money!"

"Rich and willful Director Li, please take my knee ......"

Soon, a big discussion about the free distribution of movies intensified, and the film and television companies and the audience stood on opposite sides and quarreled, but Li Mu, a firefighter, began to take the hastily prepared crew to start "shooting" in the Hong Kong Island studio.

In this hot land, it is too easy to form a crew, maybe the person who rents it out on the street was once the main creator of a well-known film. After Zhou Xiao issued a crew recruitment, many unemployed crew members soon came to apply.

Li Mu selected two assistant directors, two photographers, a sound recordist, and several assistants, and assigned them the task of accumulating materials. The work is very boring, which is to use the camera and the expression animation capture system to record the actors' facial expressions.

The actors are all some unpopular young actors, or even not actors at all, let them wear special action and expression capture equipment, perform various simulated scenes in front of the camera, play at will, or cooperate with multiple people to perform actions, including fights, kisses and other interactive scenes, and the collected data is stored in the computer in different categories.

Li Mu arranged the work here, explained to Zhou Xiao, and flew back to the capital.

Li Mu was originally going to prepare for the press conference on the G system when he returned to Beijing after the film press conference, but he didn't want to receive an invitation from the Film Association to "drink tea" as soon as he arrived in Beijing.

Li Mu pursed his lips, showing that those film companies that thought they had been impacted had found the official family to speak.

In fact, to be precise, the Film Association is not an official organization, and its name is only in Beijing, which belongs to a non-governmental organization, but its energy is not small, it is like a semi-official nature, and many things that are not suitable for radio and television to speak directly are made by the association. At the same time, several large-scale film and television companies have a strong voice in it.

Li Mu thought for a while, the association invited, and he couldn't help but go, so he drove Bentayga straight to the association.

As expected, the association's meaning is very clear, it is not that it cannot destroy the film market, and Li Mu is required to publicly clarify the issue of free distribution, which must operate according to the normal market model.

"There's no point in you talking to me about this," Li Mu said, "I'm just a director, although the Hong Kong Island company was established in my name, but I am only one of the shareholders, I don't speak properly, and the other shareholders insist on free distribution, what can I do?" ”

"You...... Then you should do someone else's work. The deputy secretary general of the association said in an official tone, "Director Li, you are a young and promising new director, I think as a filmmaker, you must also want to see the domestic film industry become more and more prosperous, right?" For the sake of the future of Chinese films, you can't be a spoiler, you have to maintain the stable development of the market......"

"I'm sorry, I'm just a director, my task is to make my own movies, and I can't control the company's operations." Li Mu did not enter the road of oil and salt.

"You have to think about it, if you insist on going your own way, your film will not get distribution rights at all!" Deputy Secretary-General.

"Oh...... That's none of my business. Li Mu looked innocent.

Issuance rights? It doesn't matter, it's nothing more than the right to distribute in China, otherwise if Lao Tzu is reviewed, then Lao Tzu will be released in China? Anyway, buddy didn't expect to make money at the box office, but he only counted on the online version to be on demand.

"Director Li, you're still very young," said a guy who is the CEO of a film and television company and a director of the association, "but I can see that you are a person who loves movies very much, and it would be a pity if you can't make movies in the future." ”

Threat?

People are threats, what can you do? It's not easy to block individuals in the circle? Don't say that you, a young director who has only made a movie that has not been released, even a big name like Wen Jiang can still be banned!

You don't even need to use the power of the General Administration to deal with you, and the CEOs of several film and television companies here can handle it!

"I heard that you also have a film and television company in the capital?"

"By the way, your "Absolute Love" is about to be released, right?"

"I heard that your company is planning to cooperate with other companies to invest in films?"

Li Mu looked at the aggressive appearance of a group of guys, Li Mu smiled in his heart, but made a worried look on his face, and said: "Yes, teachers, bosses, let's be honest, I'm just hyping it up." Free distribution? Then I can't pay for death? I'm definitely going to make money, but I'm going to make it in a different way. ”

"What do you mean?" The CEOs shouted.

"Well, I'm going to take on ads to make money." Li Mu said, "I will insert a few hard advertisements into the movie, and I will ask all theaters to ensure that these ads are not deleted if they want to show my movie for free." ”

"Heh, with your abacus, you make money from advertising, you don't share the box office, can the theater chain give you more films? What will we do then? A film company boss said.

"You can't say that," a theater company boss said with a smile, "Although our theater life is very hard, it is also principled, and when the time comes, we must look at the quality of the film to arrange the film." ”

Fart! Can you believe what the theater company says? If you really want to let them distribute it for free, they are afraid that they will want to get the film scheduling rate to 100%!

For a while, the CEOs of cinema companies and film and television production companies pinched again......
