When Uncle Lin asked what the conditions were, Cao Zhiqiang immediately took a deep breath, and his expression became serious.

"Uncle Lin, the other party proposed that we hope that we can let go of some control in some areas, at least to open an opening, no longer completely monopolized by state organs, but to truly follow the market economy.

In this way, they can also take the opportunity to spend the RMB they have in China and use these openings to spend them in China, so as to obtain enough benefits.

They see it as a win-win.

Not only will they benefit from this, but so will we.

Because they say that although monopolistic control is lifted and the market economy is completely followed, they will accept our scrutiny and will never do anything that endangers the interests of our country, government, and people.

They just want money, a way out, and they don't want to change our political system, or ideology, or anything.

If we say yes, they will step up their dealings with us.

But if we don't say yes, they have something good and they have to restrict the trade.

I don't dare to promise the other party, I can only say help to tell me, depending on what you mean. ”

Uncle Lin frowned, and his expression became solemn.

After all, what Cao Zhiqiang said seems to be very low-profile, but the things contained in it are not simple.

After thinking about it, Uncle Lin asked, "What fields do they want us to open up?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but said on the surface: "They said that they were not greedy at the beginning, and they hoped that we would first let go of the monopoly operation in three aspects.

They are the film industry, the automobile manufacturing industry, and the aircraft manufacturing industry.

These three industries, they hope to cooperate with our country, or state-owned enterprises, one by one, to carry out a modernization and market-oriented reform that is supervised by us, but does not directly intervene in the operation.

After we gradually liberalize these three industries, and try the sweetness of cooperation with them, and are willing to carry out deeper cooperation, we will talk about the second stage of cooperation. ”

Uncle Lin raised his eyebrows: "Oh? It's kind of interesting, let's talk about it in detail. ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Then, I'll talk about the film industry first."

They said that in China's current film industry, film companies make films, and then hand them over to the China Film Company for distribution, and the China Film Company then takes the films to various movie theaters for broadcast.

In this case, China Film Company is equivalent to monopolizing the biggest cake in the film industry.

After all, the movie theater, or the movie will share the account with the China Film Company after the movie is originally played, and the China Film Company, no matter how much money it makes, is only a fixed part of the buyout fee for the film production company.

It is equivalent to saying that China Film Company has the least workload, but it earns the most.

The film production company does the most, but earns the least, after all, it can't participate in the theater sharing, so naturally there is no motivation to carefully study the real needs of the masses.

In this case, what kind of movie to make often depends on the head of some leaders, or on the personal preferences of some directors, and what is filmed may not really be what the masses like to watch.

And this is not the case in the outside world.

For example, Xiangjiang and Japan, of course, Hollywood, and even France and other mainstream countries in the world, their film system is not like this.

Film production companies in these countries, after making a movie, have to participate in the film share of the movie, so they pay special attention to the box office.

It is this kind of attention to the box office that leads them to care about the real needs of the people, and they are willing to seek new changes.

In this way, if the movie is well shot and the box office is good, the film production company will make more money, after all, it will be divided more.

It's like the movie I released in Japan.

Because that movie was well received in the Japanese market, I made a lot of money because of it, and Japanese related companies also liked me very much, which was the main reason why everything went smoothly during my time in the Japanese entertainment industry.

However, if my movie is released in China, because it can only be sold to China Film, I will get a lump sum of money from China Film, so even if I know that this movie will be particularly popular in the mainland, most of it will be taken by China Film, and I, as a filmmaker, will not make much money.

In the same situation, there are also previous popular movies such as "Shaolin Temple" and "Wrangler".

Those movies were all popular all over the country at the beginning, but those who made movies, including screenwriters, directors, and actors, actually didn't get much practical benefit except for some fame.

The real big head was all taken away by Zhongying.

If China Film takes the lion's head, will it be good for the country?

I don't think so.

Uncle Lin, in this position, you must know more about some things than me.

Then you should know that Zhongying seems to belong to the state, but after they make money, they may not all hand it over to the state.

As for where the middle part of the money went, hehe, I don't know, you know it or not, I don't know.

However, even if China Film hands over all the money to the state, in fact, it is a loss for the country. ”

"Oh? Why? Uncle Lin asked subconsciously.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "I also asked at the time, and the other party told me that because of Zhongying's practice, it is to kill chickens and eggs, suppress consumption, and of course, inhibit people's subjective initiative, inhibit the development of related science and technology, and economic flow." ”

Uncle Lin frowned: "Tell me in detail." ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "He said at the time that the specific situation is more complicated, and I may not understand it if I talk too much, so he will use the simplest method with me to make a long story short."

He said that China Film's monopolistic approach, because it gets the maximum profits, will seriously restrict the flow of funds of film production companies, and also seriously inhibit the enthusiasm of film production companies.

If you want to make a good movie, on the whole, you must increase investment.

With money, there are good talents, as well as good technology, and only then can we seek innovation and change and produce better movies.

Only with better movies will people be more willing to pay to go to the cinema.

In this way, the film production company will get stronger and stronger, and the movies will be better and better.

Ordinary people are also willing to spend money on movies and are more willing to go to the movies.

Naturally, cinemas will also earn more as a result.

In this way, the people's money is spent, which is equivalent to the flow of money.

Money is such a thing, saving is dead money, and only when it flows can it produce power and stimulate the economy.

In other words, as long as the monopoly of China Film Company is cut, the entire film market, from film production to the bottom cinema chain, will come alive, just like the current Xiangjiang movie, which will create huge profits.

If taxes are collected from this, such as directly from movie theaters, and a certain amount of tax is collected, then the government will receive much more taxes than the money paid by China Film Company.

The reason is that without the suppression of monopoly companies, the entire market will be revitalized, the market will be larger, the scale of the economy will be larger, and the relative tax revenue will increase.

This is evident in overseas countries, such as developed countries in Europe and the United States.

Not to mention, this will also stimulate the further development of our film industry, so that it will not become green and yellow, and it will get worse and worse.

To put it bluntly, it's the same economic reform we're doing right now.

It is necessary to put aside the original big pot of rice and introduce market competition.

Of course, the man also said that it is inappropriate to let go all of a sudden, not only will we not be adapted, but it will also not be in their interests.

Therefore, film reform, like our current economic reform, should first carry out some pilots.

For example, first use my Hongguang Film Factory as a pilot.

Specifically, the movies produced by my Hongguang Film Studio are no longer purchased and sold by China Film Company, but let our film studio directly connect with the following movie theaters and share them with the movie theaters and relevant governments around the world.

Here's an example.

For example, the movie "Love in the Rain", which I gave priority to release in Japan, is called "Love in the Ancient Pavilion" in China.

This film, we can try not to sell it to China Film Company, but we can directly negotiate with the governments of various provinces and municipalities directly under the central government, so that this film can be directly shown in all their cinemas.

According to a certain proportion, the box office revenue after the screening will be divided by our Hongguang Film Studio, local cinemas, and of course, our central tax bureau, as well as China Film Company.

In terms of specificity, cinemas, as movie viewing providers, take the largest box office, such as forty percent.

The local government, as the top boss of the local cinema, will definitely get benefits from it, so there is no need to give them a share.

The tax authorities of our central government, as well as China Film Company, as the tax department and the top management and audit party, of course, also have a piece of the pie, and these two parties can each share one percent, a total of two percent.

The remaining forty percent is owned by our film production company, that is, Hongguang Film Studio.

Of course, this is only my preliminary opinion, and the specific situation will be discussed in detail.

However, Hongguang Film Studio, as the producer, cannot participate in the box office sharing, and it cannot be less than 30% of the box office share.

If it's too low, it's not cost-effective and will seriously discourage enthusiasm.

After all, under the sharing model, if the box office is not satisfactory and the score is too low, there is a risk of losing money.

When the time comes, you can try to see if this mode will be a win-win situation for everyone.

If everyone is satisfied, we can continue to try this system.

From now on, as long as it is filmed by our Red Light Film Company, or co-distributed by the film, it will be according to this sharing model.

Once this is done, overseas excellent films, as well as overseas funds, will be optimistic about our Hongguang Film Studio.

For example, if overseas films want to maximize profits in our country, there is a high probability that they will cooperate with us for domestic distribution, after all, they can be shared, and they earn more.

In the same way, overseas funds are also willing to invest in us for Sino-foreign joint venture shooting, which is equivalent to attracting foreign capital to enter our domestic film market.

In the same way, the relevant organizations of the fog will also take this opportunity to invest in our Hongguang Film Studio in a certain way, and in this way, spend the funds in our country.

For example, in the form of a joint venture, we cooperated with our Hongguang Film Studio to build movie cities in various places with the gimmick of shooting movies, so as to smoothly invest funds in real estate.

Or, engage in technology research and development, such as research and development of related shooting equipment, etc.

In this way, they invest their money and are less sensitive, after all, it is only a pure business cooperation.

Do you think this situation is good? ”

Uncle Lin smiled: "Okay, of course it's good, but China Film Company may not be happy." After all, the method you mentioned is equivalent to taking out the profits of China Film Company and distributing them to everyone, especially to your Hongguang Factory. ”

Cao Zhiqiang also laughed: "That's right, this is the essence." But don't you think that's bad? After all, it's better for many people to share together than to eat alone.

And China Film Company basically doesn't do anything, just sit there and review and collect money, and you can make the most money, what is the difference between this and foreign monopoly capitalists?

Although China Film belongs to the state and has to hand over profits to the state, you know how serious the waste of funds is during this period and how serious the bureaucracy is during this period.

It can be said that China Film Company has become an obstacle to China's film industry.

Although there are many reasons why our film industry is stagnant, the monopoly and hegemony of China Film Company is undoubtedly the biggest factor.

It is precisely because of the monopoly distribution of China Film Company that foreign investors dare not invest more in China's film and television industry, which means that we have lost a huge overseas investment channel.

You must know that the film industry is no better than others, which is actually a big pool of money.

This point can be seen by looking at the foreign film industry.

China is now in dire need of foreign exchange, but our country is now unable to sell too many good things to foreign countries for foreign exchange, so we have to sell a large amount of grain out when there is a shortage of grain, just to exchange some foreign exchange.

In this case, why not first open up an opening in the film industry and use market-oriented behavior to attract foreign investment?

For example, the Mist Organization has a lot of money in its hands, as well as the materials, equipment and technology that we continue to provide, but if the cooperation with us does not bring them benefits, then they are probably not willing to take risks all day long and continue to cooperate with us.

After all, their cooperation with us does not have any political conditions, and they can also give us good things that we cannot get through formal channels.

Now people just hope that they can spend the RMB and treasury bonds they get from us in the form of commercial investment in China through formal channels, so as to get some real monetary benefits.

With all due respect, if we can't meet this request, then I'm afraid this cooperation will not last long.

Besides, the requirements are not harsh, not to mention that we should cancel all the unified purchase and sales of China Film.

They just said that with my Hongguang Film Studio as a pilot, we will first conduct a pilot experiment, and there are ready-made experimental subjects, which is my popular movie "Love in the Rain" in Japan.

To be honest, I have already gotten super returns through the Japanese market, and other countries and regions, such as the United States, France, Southeast Asian countries, as well as Xiangjiang and South Korea, are trying to negotiate with me about the introduction of copyright.

That is to say, even if I don't release this movie in China, it doesn't matter.

I've already gained fame and fortune.

However, I am willing to use this film as an opportunity to try our film industry reform.

For this reason, even if I will be under great pressure because of this reform, I will not hesitate to do so!

Even if it's just to work better with the Mist, we should try it, don't you think that's the truth? ”

After hearing this, Uncle Lin touched his chin and nodded: "I will report this matter to the leadership, I think, if it is just a pilot project of Hongguang Film Factory, it should not be a big problem." ”
