Huaguo Film Association, many fans know something.

The Film Classification Committee, under the Film Association, has received little attention.

But in the industry, especially for producers and distributors, this is a very familiar institution.

As you can see from the name, this is an agency responsible for formulating the rating standards and rules for Chinese films, as well as giving specific ratings to films.

The Film Classification Committee has nine permanent members, of which one seat is fixed by the official, one seat is basically occupied by the Big Five, and the remaining three seats are selected from the industry, which is generally rotated every three years.

Obviously, this is both an athlete and a referee.

But everybody takes it for granted.

In general, the entire industry is the five leading to become bigger, and they can best represent the interests of the industry, and will naturally occupy the right to speak in an important position.

Moreover, there can be three rotating seats, compared to the Hollywood rating agency, which is completely monopolized by the five majors, it can be regarded as having domestic characteristics.

Rotating seats are generally nominated by film associations who can convince the public from among the industry's representatives, and then voted on by the committee.

Dunhuang used to be the industry representative with the longest holding seat in the non-five major committees of the grading committee, but unfortunately after Wang Chuanqi took over Dunhuang, he was squeezed out.

Now that he has been nominated again, it is no wonder that Lao Wang is ecstatic.

It's not just a matter of honor, it's about tangible benefits.

Although the standards and rules of the rating committee are clearly laid out, even the Big Five, which has held the seats for a long time, can only make many moves that can only be sidelined.

However, when the text is associated with the film image, the judging criteria are not as clear as imagined.

In this case, as long as you play a marginal game, the rating of a movie may be one level higher, such as from the general limit of ordinary restrictions -18 to the restricted level, which means millions or even tens of millions of yuan in losses.

It's okay to say that Dunhuang is a company with a bit of strength, but for independent films, it basically means it's over.

So, even if you get a seat, you can't be arbitrary, but as long as you can stop others from playing on you, this position is worth it.

Lao Wang shouted, "What is lost, he will get it back with his own hands", and then flew to the headquarters of the Film Association in Shanghai.

……

As soon as Wang Chuanqi stepped into the location of the grading committee, he was enthusiastically touted.

"One of the biggest winners of the summer season is here!"

"It's been the fourth week of "Genius Gunman", and the market heat is still at a high level, which is really envious of us."

"The key is to invest small, others say to make money with a small Boda, but Dunhuang's with a small Boda is not an ordinary money, but ten times or even more than ten times the big profit!"

"I don't even know what to say, when will the film industry be so profitable?"

In the face of the praise surrounding him, Wang Chuanqi smiled at Yan Yan: "You guys, you have all forgotten the fiasco of Dunhuang for several consecutive years, this year is just a little luckier, and you just won a bet." ”

"I heard that Dunhuang has just successfully raised a huge amount of money from overseas, I see, Mr. Wang's chances of winning the bet in the future are still high?" A short, middle-aged man had a bit of envy on his face.

When everyone heard this, they collectively showed envious expressions and praised them even more energetically.

Wang Chuanqi took a look, he was a person he knew, Hou Mai, the boss of Eastern Films.

Eastern Pictures, a second-tier studio that has gained momentum in recent years, was also nominated for the classification committee.

Competitors, it's right if it's not yin or yang.

However, his information is a little too well-informed.

Wang Chuanqi narrowed his eyes.

Although there are no secrets in the circle most of the time, Dunhuang's front foot has just successfully financed, and Hou Mai's back foot knows it, which can only show that he is keeping an eye on Dunhuang very closely.

Hou Mai continued to smile and flatter: "If you want to say that Dunhuang returns to the grading committee, it is what everyone expects. has a background, there is a genius director like Wang Wei, and now that the ammunition is sufficient, Dunhuang will recover its former momentum, or even go further, is just around the corner. ”

The corners of Wang Chuanqi's mouth hooked up a sneer.

This provocation method is a little low-level.

"Mr. Hou is really joking, I don't have that much ambition or ability, Dunhuang is just a small company, and it is enough to make a little money between large companies."

Who wouldn't open their eyes and tell nonsense?

……

On the other side, not far away, there is also a circle that is not too big and small, watching this side.

Standing behind him, one of the oldest judges of Tang Yu Media, asked: "Dunhuang is now qualified to enter the grading committee?" ”

The representative of China Television smiled slightly: "Since you have been nominated, you are qualified." ”

The agent of Pearl Pictures added: "Dunhuang still has a relationship in the Film Association, and director Wang Tingdong's connections are not bragged. ”

"Humph!" The first judge shook his head and said: "Those who can enter the grading committee should be industry representatives, Dunhuang has enough qualifications, but the strength is far from enough." ”

"In recent years, it should be said that there has been a momentum, but it is difficult to say how big the luck component is." The representative of China Television glanced at Wang Chuanqi in the crowd and said with a smile.

The agent of Pearl Pictures also nodded slowly: "I think the members of the classification committee still have to be more serious, the two people in Dunhuang are young people under the age of thirty, who knows if the company will go bankrupt one day, you can't let a bankrupt company become a representative of the industry." ”

Several people glanced at each other and tacitly looked away.

Dunhuang once approached the momentum of the Big Five, and no one has forgotten it.

At the time of its decline, it was enough to see the fear that everyone tacitly fell into the well and kicked it out of the influential classification committee.

Now it's just a slight momentum, and some people are shouting for it, and this kind of background is even more daring to take lightly.

There doesn't even need to be much deliberation, and when it's time to press, everyone knows it.

Of course, Wang Chuanqi didn't know about this.

While dealing with the praise with ulterior motives, he was smiling stiffly at the quiet inquiry.

By the time of the official selection, his stiff smile had turned into a cold face.

Dunhuang has been brushed down!

This time, a seat was vacated, and the nominees were Dunhuang Pictures and Eastern Films, both of which are leaders in the second tier.

When Dunhuang first joined the classification committee, the eastern film industry had not yet appeared, and in terms of qualifications, it was crushing level;

In terms of strength, although the number of films made in Dunhuang in the past two years is far inferior to that of Eastern Films, the quality is also crushing - "Peking Holiday" was the biggest dark horse last year; "Genius Gunman" is one of the biggest winners of this year's summer file, and it has also set off a huge public opinion momentum...... At least it's on par.

However, the official representatives abstained from voting as usual, and with seven votes left, Dunhuang only got one, and Eastern Pictures rejected Dunhuang by a crushing advantage.

Wang Chuanqi's face was naturally very ugly.

Especially Hou Mai, who stepped on his shoulders and stepped on the upper position, came over to comfort with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Wang, I really didn't expect it...... It's all luck, but you don't have to be discouraged, with Dunhuang's current momentum, it will be a matter of time before you return to the grading committee! ”

Wang Chuanqi looked at his smiling face, faded away from his cold face, and said with a smile: "That's really going to accept your auspicious words!" ”

……

Come with the excitement and return with the defeat.

When Wang Chuanqi returned to the Dunhuang headquarters in the capital, it was already late at night.

Wang Wei, who already knew the result, was waiting for him in the office.

didn't talk about being suppressed, ridiculed, or comforted, the two stood side by side in front of the bright floor-to-ceiling windows that captured the bright night scene, and stood quietly for a long time.

"I'm sorry, we're still too weak." Lao Wang's voice broke the silence without a hint of anger.

Wang Wei looked at the illusory and flashy scene of the big city through the window, and said lightly: "There's nothing to be sorry for, choose to become stronger." ”

His tone was like a discussion about what breakfast to eat tomorrow.
