As for the third import film license, it is actually a provision in the "Sino-US Film Memorandum of Understanding".

The main contents include: first, China will add 14 3D or IMAX movies to the original quota of about 20 American films introduced every year; Second, the U.S. box office share has risen from 13% to 25%; Third, increase the opportunities for Chinese private enterprises to release imported films, and break the monopoly of state-owned companies in the past.

According to statistics, the total box office of imported films last year was close to 6 billion, and last year's account: 50% of theaters, 18% of overseas producers, and the rest belonged to the imported companies.

That is to say, in the whole year of 2011, China Film and Huaxia obtained more than 1 billion yuan from the business of introducing imported films alone.

The net profit of Tianmei Media in 2011 was only 953 million yuan.

It also includes the profits from investing in overseas films!

No way, the main expenditure is too strong, and the Xiangshan government built a photography base together, invested 6 billion, built two 6,000 square meters, five 3,000 square meters studios...

The "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, the "Di Renjie" series, including "The Tales of the Tang Dynasty" and so on, are all filmed here...

Back to the license.

Tianmei Media is the private film and television company with the highest revenue in the mainland, and the second-ranked Huayi Brothers only had a profit of 153 million last year...

This shows how attractive the business of importing films is to other companies in the industry as a whole.

With the resurgence of the number of imported films in the United States and the provisions of the WTO agreement to increase the opportunities for private companies to release imported films, there is also a growing demand in the film industry for the increase in the number of companies with the right to distribute imported films.

Tianmei Media, Bona Films, Huayi Brothers, Wanda Group, and even Shanghai Film Group, which has a national brand background, are all interested in obtaining this "license".

Among them, Wanda's willingness is the strongest - they do not have a strong content production capacity of their own.

As early as last year, Wang Jianlin "implicitly" said that while Wanda Cinemas became bigger and stronger, he also hoped to obtain "foreign film import licenses equal to those of state-owned enterprises".

Then he has now acquired AMC Cinemas, and his chips have increased greatly...

Of course, the so-called third license plate is just rumors...

Shen Xudong knew very well that this thing was not awarded at all, so he just submitted an application...

However, the company did win the rights to several non-English films, two French films "Tracking Masubirami" and "Untouchable", the Russian film "Prince Ivan and the Gray Wolf" and the Italian film "Sunny Fierce"...

Batch films, if they can be released, they will be released, and if they can't win, they will simply be broadcast exclusively on PPTV...

The combined royalties of several films are only $800,000...

……

The original name of "Search" was "The Death of the Net", and later changed to "Please Forgive Me", the author's intention is very good, at least when human flesh search was just emerging, the author calmly discovered the disadvantages of human flesh search, which was very advanced at the time.

There is also a problem, this proposition is too huge, and the author only used such a small space, resulting in the whole article being rushed and bloated, just like a fat man squeezing into a straitjacket, of course, it is not that a small space cannot write a big proposition, obviously the author's skills are not enough.

If the original work only focuses on social issues and only criticizes, it is a mediocre work, and it is as boring as the female journalist in the movie.

And what makes it brilliant is precisely that it sublimates the theme and turns it into forgiveness, which is more than a notch higher.

In the second half, after the heroine died, the boss and her ex-boyfriend avenged her, and the female reporter was forced to the rooftop by the Internet mob, which seemed to be a revenge route, karma and revenge, but the author left a suspense, that is, will the male protagonist who knows the truth come to save the female reporter, and will the ex-boyfriend be moved by his wife's kindness to put down the butcher knife?

After being adapted into a movie, Chen Kaige did not shoot the second half, but made a karma and blamed all the faults on the female reporter...

But in the original work, the ugliest thing portrayed by the author is not a female reporter, but an Internet mob, and it is also the root of the inferiority of every one of our officials.

But it's already his only good movie since the new millennium!

For example, "Daytime Meteor"...

It's hard to imagine that "Daytime Meteor" in "My Motherland and Me" would be his work...

Think about it, among the seven directors, Guan Hu is a typical anti-pretending loyalty, Xue Xiaolu, a female director from a romantic background, and Zhang Yibai can only shoot idol dramas...

Then, Guan Hu, who had to shoot "Eight Hundred" for 70 years, didn't have a problem, Zhang Yibai, a bad movie madman, didn't have a problem, and even Xue Xiaolu didn't drop the chain, and your director Chen Da actually served a bowl of "White Porridge Meteor"...

It's really hard to understand, after all, this is the director who has filmed "Ten Minutes to Get Old", no matter how bad the long things are, he is good at short films!

"Daytime Meteor", up is the universe that is so beautiful that it is invincible, and down is the rural poverty alleviation that makes the impossible possible...

Pinching any point is a terrific story!

It's a whole thing!

Stepping on a horse, detached from the masses, detached from things, making things up, basically every minute in just 20 minutes is a BUG, every minute is a slot...

……

After watching the movie, Shen Xudong chatted with Cao Huayi for a few words:

"I know the work "The Death of the Net", I once inquired about the adaptation rights, and learned that it was taken away by Director Chen..."

“… Do you want to adapt? ”

Shen Xudong nodded: "I'm also very interested in the topic of human flesh search..."

Cao Hua was happy, and then asked: "Do you think this movie can be a blockbuster?" ”

"It's not a big problem to break 100 million, but for the next few Hollywood blockbusters, it will be difficult to have a box office of 200 million!"

“… It doesn't matter, if you break 100 million, you will make money! ”

Cao Huayi's wife Gai Lili is Chen Hong's classmate, Chen Kaige has known Cao Huayi for a long time, and he is also one of Xinli's shareholders...

Therefore, "Search" is the work of Chen Kaige...

"How much does this play cost?"

Cao Huayi didn't hide it: "It didn't cost much, it was basically the money given by the boss in Ningbo..."

“… I said..."

"Searching" was filmed in Ningbo...

Cao Huayi glanced at Shen Xudong, and then said, "By the way, Director Chen and Producer Chen have always wanted to meet you..."

"Okay, where?"

“… It's right in the background..."

"Okay, we'll go together later..."

I'm sure I'll have to go later, but now, of course, let's talk about the movie-watching experience.

Shen Xudong got up and said: "I have read a comment before: She did something bad, we scolded her on the Internet, what happened to her, and she didn't lose a piece of meat." ”

"I didn't think there was anything wrong with this statement before, because I was often scolded and rumored, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with it, celebrities, half of the money was scolded!

But then, I felt wrong, because not everyone is as shameless as me, and not everyone wants to be a celebrity! That... We need to reflect on whether we are doing harmful things under the guise of justice? ”

"The movie "Searching" is very good, I won't talk about the plot, the actors are also very good, and every supporting role is quite plump, this is the quality that a good script, a good director, and a good movie should have."
