Where to discuss with the bigwigs in the industry, it must not be based on the theme of confrontation with Hollywood, because this kind of thing can't be said, what if you say it, someone inside tells Hollywood all the domestic plans for the sake of profit?

Second, this meeting should not be initiated by anyone, otherwise it will become the target of public criticism and the target of foreign competitors in the future.

Third, this conference should not be initiated by the most official radio and television broadcasters, otherwise it will become something that the official wants to do that is not conducive to Hollywood, which will cause vigilance and suppression on the part of the United States.

Therefore, this is a 'China Film and Television Internationalization Development Forum' led by China Film Group, Lake Film Group and Shanghai Film Group, and jointly organized by outstanding domestic film and television production, distribution, cinemas, websites and other private companies.

This forum only discusses one topic: 'How Chinese film and television can go global'.

See, ours is spontaneously organized for discussion, there is no official call, and there is no call from anywhere.

In addition, we did not discuss any competition with third parties, we discussed the words of Chinese film and television going out.

So, who can say anything? Who can criticize what?

However, in fact, what will happen to Chinese film and television after it goes out? The result is to compete with the current international film and television works.

Therefore, the actual significance of this forum is not to officially announce to the outside world that China's film and television industry is going to enter international competition.

This is the way the Chinese do things, in a different form, and everyone doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, even foreigners don't think there's a problem.

This is Chinese wisdom.

This forum is actually more like an industry summit, but it is more clearly oriented than the industry summit, that is, it points to 'international development'.

The forum is divided into four days, the opening ceremony of the first day, the situation and trend of film and television internationalization, the first day is mainly to open first, and then to ask a wave of questions about the situation and trend of the international market of the film and television industry.

The second day was the International Film Production Forum and the International TV Drama Production Forum, where they discussed in groups what problems they have, what are the gaps with international works, and how to solve these gaps.

The third day is the International Cinema Forum and the International Publicity and Distribution Forum, mainly to discuss how to internationalize cinemas, how to distribute Chinese films, and how to promote Chinese films well.

The fourth day is the International Film and Television Cooperation Policy and Culture Forum, which discusses and deliberates the results of the forum, mainly discussing how film and television works should go out and how to land in different policies and cultural countries, and the other is to review the results of the discussions of each forum in groups to form the conclusion of this forum.

The fifth day was the closing session, which was the presentation of the report of the Forum.

Doesn't this kind of forum organization sound familiar? It's very familiar, and this kind of discussion happens many times a year in China, from the small to the big country.

And this kind of discussion is very efficient and easy to produce results. This has been summed up through years of experience, and it is by no means something of retreat.

So how did this forum come about?

Of course, He Fang planned it at the beginning of the film's release, and finally reached the result after repeated discussions with several bigwigs in the industry and the leaders in charge.

The specially established organizing committee of the forum is recommended by several major group companies, and the chairman of the forum is Fu Ruoqing, deputy general manager of China Film.

The vice chairman is a vice president elected by each of the six major film groups, and Tian Liang is promoted by Huying.

On the evening of his arrival in Beijing, he will attend a banquet organized by the forum, which will be held at the Yanqi Lake International Convention and Exhibition Center, which will also be the meeting place of the forum in the coming days.

Zhang Qian drove to Yanqi Lake International Convention and Exhibition Center with He Fang, this place is in Huairou, and it is also an important art district in Beijing in the future, the base of China Film Beijing, Nortel's new campus, etc., He Fang has not been to this China Film base, nor has he been to this new campus of Nortel.

Poor Nortel, I guess I want to curse, right? All of a sudden, the Third Ring Road moved outside the Sixth Ring Road and then to an inaccessible place, I really don't know what the planners thought.

"Where, how about we say we have a film academy in Changsha?" Zhang Qian asked suddenly.

"Huh? Doing a film school? "He Fang didn't think about it, he was still a little stunned when Zhang Qian asked him like this." Who told you about the idea? ”

"No one came up with an idea, it just came to me suddenly. Just now we weren't discussing Nortel's move to Huairou, I was wondering, will this school be lonely, we have been cooperating with the California Institute of the Arts in the past few days, can we directly set up a special film and television school in Changsha. After all, Lake Film Group and Mango Channel, the two major units in the entertainment industry, also have a place for talents. Zhang Qian said.

"Oh, I'm thinking too much about this. It's better to build a film academy than to build a Hunan Mass Media Institute, isn't that ready-made? It's just that their school doesn't have a film school related majors, so you can cooperate with them to set up the missing majors such as photography, art, animation, directing, literature, production, acting, and recording. Why do you have to start a new school?

No, why do you suddenly talk about this? There is no shortage of film and television professionals in China. Every year, the film academy trains a lot of talents every year, but they are not easy to employ, and we still go to ...... Forget it, why are you talking about this, think about how to let Chinese film and television go out, you also run abroad every day. As the head of a well-known production company in the industry, you're going to speak. ”

He Fang was confused by Zhang Qian.

"Ahem, this thing...... I have a spectrum in my heart, that is, how to circumvent the encirclement and suppression of the United States and the West. We have been operating for a few years since you said last time about taking shortcuts, and we have also figured out some ......"

Zhang Qian really wanted to continue, and then He Fang patted the center console of the car.

"Stop, stop." He Fang immediately stopped, Zhang Qian was still confused, and he didn't understand what was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Qian asked.

"You stupid, you tell your true way? You're afraid that the Yankees don't know, right? This method should be done quietly. By the way, go and discuss cooperation with Maoyan, Maoyan's new video website is online, and they will acquire domestic film and television copyrights, and then we will get genuine resources from them.

You get the rest, right? The money will be laundered to Maoyan through Maoyan International's advertising revenue, and then distributed to major companies. Remember, we can't compete with the United States in the legal way, so use the illegal way.

Are you sure you want to talk about this at this forum? You're not afraid of dying fast enough, aren't you? He Fang spat out his cigarette.

Zhang Qian gave a thumbs up, "You are awesome, I thought it was just what you said about using this method for publicity, but I didn't expect it...... Fortunately, over the years, we have experience in pirating Chinese film and television websites abroad. ”

He Fang nodded.

"To be a little more experienced, learn from RARBG, they are the world's largest piracy site, they have all kinds of resources, but people just can't find where they are.

So, we also have to be extremely hidden. When we go back, we will mobilize domestic film and television companies to sue our pirated websites, don't let them find out as soon as they check it, and then they will arrest their own people? ”

"Poof, can you really fool the Americans with so many twists and turns?" Zhang Qian said with a smile.

"If they can be blindfolded for as long as they can't, even if they can't be blinded, they won't be able to do anything. They can't help our Chinese film and television industry to fight piracy, right? He Fang said with a smile.

"Haha, too. If we can't do it positively, then we'll make it dark. It's a pity that we already have a RARBG website, otherwise we could have made a website dedicated to pirating Hollywood, which is more profitable, and we don't have to return it to them. Zhang Qian said.

"Do you think Hollywood really can't catch them? Do you know a well-known station in China? There is a serious piracy of books in there. Do you think they can't handle piracy? The world needs sunlight, but it also needs darkness.

Where does no piracy bring the traffic that spreads? There will be a threshold for the spread of any film. For example, the box office of the target movie with the highest box office in the world cannot exceed $3 billion, so should audiences outside the $3 billion box office watch this movie?

If according to the high price and strict copyright fees of the Americans, Africans can afford to watch "Avatar"? How can some countries in the Middle East that don't allow "Avatar" to be screened let their people see "Avatar"? ”

He Fang's series of rhetorical questions made Zhang Qian nod thoughtfully, "Therefore, piracy can allow audiences outside the box office of 3 billion to see this movie, and it will not affect them to continue to sell high-priced copyrights."

Because it's legal for them to sell high-priced copyrights, and piracy is illegal, and they've been cracking down on illegal piracy, it seems like the two sides are on the opposite side. But in fact, the two sides are interdependent, the genuine earns the money that the genuine version can make, and the pirated version earns the money that the genuine version cannot earn. Even if there is no piracy, it is impossible for the genuine copy to earn the box office in African countries and some countries in the Middle East where the doctrine is inconsistent. ”

Zhang Qian added.

He Fang took a puff of cigarette and gave Zhang Qian a thumbs up.

"Got it?"

"Hey, this kind of thing, just by picking a corner, you can basically think of the general situation. Now I'm worried, since I can't talk about what I thought before, what should I talk about on the forum? Zhang Qian also has a big head.

"Hey, take your time." He Fang looked like he was watching a play, he didn't want to think about everything for Zhang Qian, he was not a nanny.

After driving north from the capital for about an hour and a half, they arrived at the Yanqi Lake International Convention and Exhibition Center, where the chairman of the forum and several vice chairmen were receiving them.

As soon as Fu Ruoqing saw He Fang, he immediately shook hands enthusiastically.

"Yo, Director He is here, welcome, Mr. Zhang, welcome."

"Chairman Fu has worked hard, and he is still doing reception here, this specification is a bit high." He's playing haha.

"Hey, there's no way, it's the first time I've done this activity, and I'm still doing my best. Besides, all the bigwigs who came here should be here to receive them. ”

……

Next, He Fang shook hands and greeted several vice chairmen one by one, and then was led by the staff to check in, and then went to the room to rest first.

He Fang looked at the itinerary, and the dinner officially started at half past seven in the evening, so he took a bath in the room first.

At 7:20, Zhang Qian called him to make an appointment.

When they arrived at the banquet hall, there were six or seven film group leaders including Chairman Wang of Huying, Chairman La of China Film, and Chairman Ren of Shanghai Film, as well as Huayi, Bona, Guangguang, Pony Galloping, Xingmei, Wanda...... and other executives of private companies.

In the face of these bigwigs, everyone was in a cold noise.

It was almost time for everyone to arrive, and then Fu Ruoqing, chairman of the forum, came to the stage to announce the official start of the banquet and invited Director Cai of the General Administration to speak on stage.

Although this is not an official event, it is also officially supported, so it is normal for the relevant leaders to come and have a talk.

It is impossible to shrink the activity in order to avoid suspicion, then it really seems that there is a ghost in the heart.

Director Cai, huh...... Although he is not from a film background, he is also from a propaganda background, which is already a relative professional match.

Think of another guy with the surname Cai, right? People who play table tennis don't affect the management of football, and there is also a surname Chen, who can also manage football as a dock worker.

Therefore, the management of film and television engaged in propaganda is already quite a professional counterpart, so his speech is also very professional.

Of course, this was just a dinner speech, and Director Cai only spoke a few words, talking about the importance of this forum, saying that the General Administration of support for the forum, and wishing the forum a successful convening and a successful conclusion.

At the same time, I also hope that all participants will spend five meaningful days here, five days of harvest, and five days of great contribution to the development of the industry.

After Director Cai finished speaking, no one else spoke, and Chairman Fu Ruoqing announced the start of the dinner.

He Fang sat at the main table, sitting with Director Cai, some officials, and the chairmen of several film groups.

No way, he has this qualification.

"Director He, it's really rare, this is what I've seen you appear in such a public place for so many years." Shangying Ren always pulled He Fang and said with a smile.

"Alas, haven't you been busy all these years, busy laying some foundations, busy earning some international status. Now our film and television industry is developing well, but there are also some problems. No matter how busy I am this time, I have to respond to everyone's call and discuss the future development plan with you. I hope that under the guidance of Director Cai, we can find a new way."

He Fang said a few words that were not very qualified, and everyone nodded and smiled.

Director Cai smiled kindly, "Director He, then you have to contribute your whimsical ideas, I know, you have a lot of whimsical ideas in the film and television industry over the years......"

"Yes, yes, yes, Director He, we all want to hear your ideas." The crowd agreed.
