Chapter 253: Ten Imported Blockbusters
The bright moon hung in the night sky, scattered all over the ground, Chen Qiming and Jackie Chan walked out of the hotel together, said goodbye to each other at the door, and then got into their own cars and left in different directions.
"Do you think Chen Qiming will agree?"
Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Jackie Chan and Tang Jili got into a car.
Tang Jili was in charge of driving, Jackie Chan was in the co-pilot, and Zou and He were in the back seat.
After getting into the car, He Guanchang opened the window and waved goodbye to Chen Qiming not far away, and asked a few people in the car.
"It's hard to say! After all, he is from Baodao, and he has his own network background, so I'm afraid it's unlikely that he will cooperate with us! ”
Zou Wenhuai said with a deep groan.
Hong Kong and Taiwan! Although Hong Kong and Taiwan have always been regarded as a circle.
But the circle between Hong Kong and Treasure Island has always been different.
Chen Qiming was born in Baodao and debuted in Baodao, and the main direction of his record career is also Chinese records.
This makes his background and connections focused on Treasure Island.
There are also film companies on the treasure island that may want to cooperate with Chen Qiming to make movies and distribute them to Europe and the United States.
In this case, it is not easy for Chen Qiming to abandon the film and television company on Treasure Island and cooperate with Golden Harvest instead.
"I don't think so!"
At this time, Jackie Chan in the passenger seat suddenly spoke.
He touched his big nose and said, "He didn't refuse just now, which means that he should have an idea."
Moreover, in terms of production capacity, the strength of our Golden Harvest is obvious to all.
Treasure Island's filmmaking ability, it's not that I'm arrogant.
To be honest, their filmmaking capabilities are more than a cut behind Hong Kong's.
Since Chen Qiming can think of cooperating with Time Warner, he should not be limited to one circle. ”
After a pause, Jackie Chan said with a somewhat firm gaze: "Actually, it doesn't matter if he doesn't agree."
I have a lot of confidence in the drama "Red Fan Zone".
I believe I can break into Hollywood on my own.
With or without the full support of Time Warner, the same is true! ”
……
In the car.
Chen Qiming played with the birthday party invitation given by Zou Wenhuai, and his thoughts were tumbling.
This invitation represents not only a voucher to attend the birthday party, but also an invitation to enter the circle of bigwigs in the Hong Kong film and television industry.
As the price of entering the circle, what Chen Qiming needs to pay is to give up part of the project leadership in cooperation with Time Warner to Golden Harvest.
If Chen Qiming is willing to pay this price, on Zou Wenhuai's birthday, he can take this invitation to attend Zou Wenhuai's 67th birthday banquet.
If he doesn't want to, he naturally doesn't have to go, which means that he will be isolated from this circle.
This is a choice, a choice given to Chen Qiming by a film bigwig.
And now, Chen Qiming is thinking about whether he should agree.
agrees, he may squeeze into the circle of Hong Kong bigwigs.
If you don't agree, you may face the exclusion of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Yes, it's crowding.
It may not be the whole of Hong Kong, but Golden Harvest will definitely squeeze him out.
Don't underestimate Golden Harvest.
As the leader of the current film industry, if they squeeze out Chen Qiming, they will definitely bring a lot of trouble to Chen Qiming.
But......
After playing with the invitation for a while, Chen Qiming shook his head and directly put the invitation on the seat next to him.
He is a young man, and he can't stand this kind of threatening behavior the most.
Zou Wenhuai's obviously threatening way really upset him.
Therefore, he did not plan to attend this banquet.
Well, in this way, it may indeed offend Golden Harvest.
But for Chen Qiming, he really doesn't care too much.
Since his debut, he has intersected with Golden Harvest.
But not much.
His achievements did not depend on Jiahe.
Jiahe's exclusion, to be honest, really didn't have much effect on him.
And, if Chen Qiming is not mistaken.
In the dream, in the next few years, Golden Harvest will begin to continue to decline.
Not only Golden Harvest, but the entire Hong Kong film industry is declining, but it is another market......
Thinking of the mainland market with a box office of billions at every turn in his dream, Chen Qiming couldn't help but have his eyes flashing.
Perhaps, he can directly cross Hong Kong and start operating in the mainland from now on.
In recent years, the mainland has developed quite rapidly, and both the record market and the film market have begun to develop.
In 1993, the radio and television department issued a document to reorganize the film mechanism, and then China Film Group Corporation was responsible for introducing foreign films for public screening, and the task of importing 10 foreign films every year was determined to be the first imported film as "The End of the World" after many consultations with Warner Pictures of the United States.
At present, the film has been confirmed to be introduced, and the release time in the mainland is November 12.
Although this movie has not yet been released, according to the information in the dream, this movie will be Hollywood's first shot to open the mainland market.
Subsequently, next year, Hollywood will have a film called "True Lies" that won a horror box office of 102 million yuan in the mainland in one fell swoop, making the term Hollywood blockbuster a collective term for Hollywood films in the mainland in the next ten years.
Not only "True Lies", but at the end of this year, that is, in January 1995, the "Red Fan District" being produced by Golden Harvest will also be introduced to the mainland.
set a horror box office record of 94 million yuan.
This also indicates that the mainland market has officially begun to gradually replace Hong Kong and Taiwan as the largest film market in the Chinese-language film industry.
In Chen Qiming's view, instead of cooperating with Golden Harvest, it is better to cooperate directly with the mainland.
For example, China Film Group.
In August, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television issued a new regulation that from 1995 onwards, China Film Company will introduce 10 films that meet the two basic standards every year in the form of account-sharing distribution.
That is, the film that "basically reflects the achievements of the world's outstanding civilization and the latest achievements of film art and technology in the world today" was released in China, which was later commonly known as the "Ten Imported Blockbusters".
Referring to the internationally accepted box office accounting form, the revenue sharing ratio of all parties involved in imported blockbusters is 35% for the producer, 17% for the distributor, and 48% for the projection.
And the control of all this will be the responsibility of China Film Group.
This also indirectly makes the status of China Film jump directly and become the object that many companies want to contact.
Chen Qiming is no exception.
However, it is precisely because the status of China Film is different now, and Chen Qiming has not come into contact with anyone over there so far.
However, he has a cooperation with Shanghai Studio, which has a relationship with China Film, and he has asked him to help contact him and make an appointment to meet the people of China Film.
Of course, the reason why this is the case is that Chen Qiming is definitely not only to contact China Film and contact feelings, but also because he is ready to find a way to make the drama "Storm and Storm Dominate the World" into the mainland for release.
Of course, the premise of all this depends on the release of this drama in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places.
If the box office reputation is not good, even if the relationship with China Film is good, I am afraid that it will not be introduced.
After all, at present, only ten films can be imported from the mainland every year.
China Film must choose movies that can make money, or even hit the box office in other regions.
