Chapter 112: My Fruit Is Delicious

(The last two paragraphs of the previous chapter have been cut to make the plot more fluid and reasonable, and to remove overly frivolous dialogue.) )

The old beauty of the nineties is in full swing, and whoever flirts is unlucky.

As a cultural officer stationed abroad, Melulan Dora has a role to play in protecting the interests of the cultural industry of her citizens and companies.

There is a moth between an important Hollywood production company and a Chinese director, and the business can be turned into a small one, but the government cannot turn a blind eye, and it must be revealed, and Melulan Dora has no reason to fade out of this matter.

It seems that David Landau is still experienced, and he understands that this matter is not so easy to end, and the relevant parties may not let it go easily, which is what worries him the most.

Su Changqing could only say that he was not afraid, as long as there was no evidence, no matter how high-sounding the stick was, he would not be able to hit him on the head, but he undoubtedly had to be careful of the stick, he had already been beaten once.

What if it can't be done?

In order to fight in one breath, the fish is really dead and the net is broken, and the copyright war is openly fought?

Su Changqing didn't know who would support him in his struggle, failure would only become a laughing stock, and no one would say that he was a warrior.

So you have to rely on yourself, you have to be in awe, and you have to deal with this matter as if you were walking on thin ice.

You have to understand that you are just a small director, and Lao Mei is the chief director of this world, able to project power to every corner.

Hollywood, as the world's most powerful propaganda machine, is unimaginable without government intervention and support.

For example, it is common for Hollywood movies to use the military, and they can be used as they say, from helicopters to aircraft carriers, at least dozens of films a year, how can it be possible without government support and coordination.

The lesson for Su Changqing from this incident is not to copy blindly, you have to pay attention to other people's copyright registration information, and if something similar happens, you may eat peanuts.

David Landau won't come until five days later, and it is impossible to stop working and wait for him, Su Changqing planned how to negotiate while filming.

Don't do it, don't covet other people's box office, it will be incompatible.

However, reasonable copyright fees must be required, and if you are cowardly, there will be ghosts, and if there are ghosts, you will be unlucky, and Melulan Dora is waiting to catch the ghosts.

For Su Changqing, a more ideal approach would be to take advantage of David Landau's best opportunity to speak up, give up some of the economic requirements, and seek a win-win cooperation.

For example, in some way, let the distribution company of Siwei cooperate with the other party's distribution company, and then find a way to distribute Su Changqing's works.

This is obviously more whimsical than the lion opening his mouth to ask for money, Hollywood can't watch mainland movies at all, and the distribution will lose money, and no one will play this with you.

But it's not impossible, isn't the meaning of rebirth to challenge the impossible?

Although Europe and the United States occupy the top of the pyramid of the cultural market and are strategically suppressed, it is not legally forbidden for others to climb up.

Since '92, the mainland's accession to the WTO has entered the stage of substantive negotiations, and one of the most important issues of disagreement is the opening up of the cultural industry.

The US insists on opening up the cultural market in an all-round way and allowing each other free access to capital and products, while China firmly opposes it on the grounds of protecting vulnerable industries.

The result of the negotiation was the introduction of Hollywood blockbusters by the mainland quota, and the first "The End of the World" in 93 was a great success, so last year David Landau came with "True Lies", and finally made a lot of money, but he was also unlucky to meet Su Changqing.

After that, the quota for imports increased year by year, and after more than 20 years, the mainland could release more than 30 foreign films every year, basically Hollywood, and it is said that because of the trade war, it will be further liberalized in exchange for concessions from the US side in other aspects.

So the market is gradually opening up, so what has the mainland film and television industry done, and is it a reciprocal output?

Of course not, weak industries are still weak.

We don't have good content, no one likes to watch it, and we don't have good distribution, so we can't get into other people's channels.

It's like an old farmer in the deep mountains, whose fruit is not tasty, and has not yet been transported out.

Or it can also be understood as the Football World Cup, no one won't let you participate, but you just can't qualify.

The most critical crux is, of course, the content, the distribution needs to be promoted, and the broadcast time of other people is also to be paid, and the content can't produce benefits, and the harder you work, the more you lose money.

The first overseas distribution company in China was established a few years later by Zhongyi Company, and the first film to be released was Xiao Gang's "Big Shot", which is said to have earned back US dollars, but paid more RMB.

Su Changqing feels that the fruits he has grown and are about to grow are very delicious, and his level as an athlete is also good, and now he needs to find a way to go out and create results, and he also has the ability to pay for promotion.

Can David Landau agree to cooperate?

It depends on whether it is more cost-effective to pay a sum of money for the copyright or whether it is more cost-effective to co-distribute the movie.

If it is cheaper for David Landau and the company he represents to pay Su Changqing a sum of money and agree to some form of cooperation between the two issuing companies, then there is no reason not to agree, not to mention that the two already need to cooperate on the issue of confidentiality.

This of course involves negotiation skills, but in the end it is the interests that make the difference.

This is also the reason why Su Changqing kept recalling and thinking about what movies he would make in the future during this time, and he had to come up with a good plan before he could talk to others.

At present, only Mu Mu fully understands this copyright dispute, and she is a little worried: "People are aggressive, the embassy has come forward, should we report it to the relevant departments?"

Su Changqing shook his head: "Who to report? If the report is made, I may have to write a report first to explain why such a dispute arises, so forget it." ”

"We're too weak. ”

"If some of us find out about this, I'll be even weaker. ”

Mu Mu has been playing soy sauce and filming advertisements for half a year, and it is not good to continue, so he has to start a new drama.

However, it is not a good choice to continue to make the same type of film or to transform.

Jun Ji-hyun was stereotyped for a long time after acting in "My Sassy Girlfriend", and all the other scenes he filmed hit the streets, almost becoming box office poison.

Su Changqing remembered that she also went to the mainland to shoot a non-trivial film, which was also killed.

Later, he switched to making TV series, but with "My Love from the Star", he became popular again, even surpassing before.

Of course, Mu Mu has to learn a lesson, and if someone like her is stereotyped in movies, it is best to switch to TV series in the future, serve different audiences, and develop her career benignly.

Su Changqing said his plan, but Mu Mu was absent-minded: "I'm still worried about the negotiation in front of you, you actually have the heart to think about these future things." ”

"The so-called future was history for me," Su Changqing looked at the zombies who were entering the state and preparing to start filming, and did not speak: "My future is to create history." ”

On Monday, the recommended votes refreshed the rankings, and the votes were bowed and worshipped.
