Chapter 115: Filmmaker

As the boss of the eight major film studios, director Wang Yang is highly respected, in the Chinese film industry, whether it is the director or director, or even a film actor, who doesn't know Wang Yang of Beijing Film.

is also a guest, the same from afar, it stands to reason that the hosts are Zhongying and Shangying, but Wang Yang pulled Xie Tieli to raise a glass frequently at the dinner, promoting Dream of Red Mansions, and of course, introducing Tang Qin.

"The young man is Jia Baoyu from our factory, this Baoyu, we have been selected since 83 years, and we have been selected for five years......"

Oh, a number of famous filmmakers across the country are looking at Tang Qin, and Wu Tianming of Western Film is holding a wine glass, "This is Jia Baoyu?" Isn't this Tang Seng? ”

The rich Northwest accent amused the full room of filmmakers.

With this laughter, Tang Qin knows that in front of the film elders in the country, he is afraid that he can't even rank up as a small character, and he is an unknown movie actor!

"Zhang Yimou."

However, the national teacher beside Wu Tianming smiled shyly, he had already become famous at this time, but in the eyes of outsiders, the rough Northwest man was not on the same channel as the delicate cream Xiaosheng.

"Lao Xie, your Dream of Red Mansions, China Film also gives you 700,000 pieces?" Director Huang Zumo of Shangying is also the director of Lushan Love, and he looks very familiar with Director Xie.

By his side, the director is also surnamed Xie, Xie Jin of the North and South Xie, whether it is the Wrangler he directed, or the Furong Town, or the garland under the high mountain, no matter how many copies are sold in the country, it is also 700,000 copies.

"Is there any mistake, we made the film," oh, a Sichuan accent pulled Tang Qin's thoughts over, this person is very young and has long hair, "It's like we give birth to a child, and the child is sold to China Film...... Turtle Son ......"

Tang Qin didn't know if he was scolding Zhongying or scolding himself for giving the child to Zhongying, he just felt that this person was very familiar.

"This grandson...... Who is it? He whispered to a waiter beside him.

"The deputy director of the Emei factory," the beautiful waiter was expressionless, "Han Sanping." ”

Hey, you say, how do you see this person being so familiar, and he straightened his head in later generations......

"Director Wang, you have six parts and eight episodes, each part of the upper and lower episodes, and also give 700,000?" After all, the film festival is held by others, and children born in eight major studios are used, but Wu Tianming and Han Sanping are not taboo when they talk.

"Fight for 900,000." Director Wang Yang replied.

Wu Tianming slapped the table, "A good film shouldn't be so low, it's too low, what do you do with our studio......"

……

This meal was full of excitement, although it couldn't catch up with the Hongmen banquet, but Tang Qin felt that this was not the atmosphere of the film festival at all, well, it seemed that the princes of the eighteen roads of the country were coming to crusade against Dong Zhuo!

Who is Dong Zhuo? That's naturally Zhongying.

"Interesting, right?" Director Xie Tieli didn't say much, he was as calm as ever, so calm that Tang Qin felt that he didn't have any joys, sorrows, or sorrows, "It seems that tomorrow, the spark of the stars ......"

"It can start a prairie fire." Tang Qin immediately said.

……

Well, I have to say that China Film is really polite to the directors and directors of these studios, this hotel is much better than the hotel where the Dream of Red Mansions crew lives, at least breakfast is served here.

Wang Yang, Xie Tieli, Zhang Hua, the distribution director of Beiying...... and Tang Qin had breakfast and came to the venue early.

Today, the film festival holds a press conference for Chinese and foreign people, and before the reception, China Film and studios across the country will hold a briefing meeting, which is a common practice.

"Director Wang, I just reacted last night, you have invested more than 20 million yuan in Dream of Red Mansions, and you have built a Rongguo Mansion for more than 4.2 million yuan...... Isn't that a loss? The director of Nanjing Film Studio, who is almost sixty years old, sat behind Wang Yang and started talking.

"We don't pay, are they still called Zhongying?" Director Wang Yang said with a smile, throughout the 80s, he and China Film Company had a big fight, for several years, as soon as the meeting was held, he tried to get China Film Company to give away part of the profits, it was really unreasonable, the film was made by the studio, why did China Film take the film away?

Of the more than 20 million films, only 4.2 million were given, and 5.4 million were given for it, and there was still a gap of nearly 150,000 in between.

Well, yes, since 1984, the film industry has been characterized as a public institution and enterprise management, and has begun to account independently and be responsible for its own profits and losses.

The state gives each factory a certain amount of working capital to assist production every year. Among them, the state subsidy received by Beijing Film is 3.8 million yuan, although the average production cost of the film has been jumping every year, but this amount has never increased.

By the end of the 80s, the average cost of each film was close to 1 million yuan, and the difference between the shooting funds required by Beijing Film and the allocated liquidity was nearly 10 million.

Due to the inversion of the profit distribution in the film industry, the studios are losing money every year, they are unable to repay loans, and the banks have a negative attitude, so that the "loan production system" has also encountered a bottleneck.

"We have to pour out this bitter water, and if we don't pour it out, which turtle son knows our suffering." Han Sanping is only thirty-five or sixteen years old, but he is the young Zhuang faction of Chinese films at this time, and today, the director of Eying Studio, who was supposed to attend the meeting, was unable to come due to illness, so Han Sanping, the deputy director, attended the meeting instead.

"Yes, we have to fight for some new policies and subsidies...... "There is no need to agitate, everyone raised their hands in agreement

"If you don't give subsidies, we won't participate in this press conference...... one of Xiaoxiang's directors said loudly, which immediately attracted a chorus.

But when the water in the pot was hot, when it was boiling, the people from Zhongying came in, okay, a group of twenty or thirty people, pressing a large piece, immediately like cold water into the pot, and the boiling water subsided in a blink of an eye.

"Well, today's press conference is external," Liu Erzan, the general manager of China Film, sat down, he is about the same age as Wang Yang, the director of the studio, "The problem between us and the studio is an internal contradiction......

Before the meeting, he heard that the studio was in turmoil, and he was afraid that he couldn't suppress it.

But he is confident, the eight major studios can't make waves, and their necks are pinched in the hands of China Film.

"I know, you have ideas, well, I'll give you a chance to speak, as long as you come up with a concrete plan now...... We can negotiate right away," Liu Erzan was very personable, "but you still said that let China Film come up with some new policies and subsidies, then we will attend the press conference first......"

"How? Lao Wang? Take a head? He looked at Director Wang Yang, "The Dream of Red Mansions 900,000 has already set a precedent, and we still have different opinions internally......

Tang Qin could hear what he said, this was a threat, if Beiying did not agree to attend the press conference, then there would be no 900,000, and there would be 700,000 more.

"What else do you have in mind?"

Director Wang Yang's idea is to let them give up the profits, and they can't take away all the profits from the movie.

You have taken all the profits, and you can't get the script fee sent by Beiying to the director.

"Well, you guys, what else do you have to say? If there is no opinion, I hurried to attend the press conference, and the reporters were in a hurry. Liu Erzan knew that Director Wang Yang was thinking about profits, but there was no other way.

This is not to blame Director Wang Yang, the production of films is still tinged with a planned economy at this time, and he is in this era, so he can't get out of the shadow of the times.

"Well, the directors of the distribution divisions of the factories are also here...... Are you the distribution director of Beiying, you are familiar, tell me, what do you think? On behalf of studios all over the country, if not, that's the end of today. ”

Liu Erzan suddenly pointed at Tang Qin, Director Wang Yang and Director Xie Tieli were stunned, Liu Erzan regarded Tang Qin as the distribution director of Beiying.

Wu Tianming, Wang Xiaotang, Han Sanping, Xie Jin, Zhang Yimou...... They all looked at Tang Qin, "Well, isn't this the cream boy?" Wu Tianming turned his head helplessly, "He is an actor, not the director of distribution, what opinion can he have?" ”

Well, this is a polite appearance, in front of Liu Erzan, I'm afraid I can't speak.
