It's March, the atmosphere of the New Year has come to a complete end, and the New Year's stalls have come to an end.

More than a month after its release, "Time Planning Bureau" finally drew a successful end to the Spring Festival with a box office of 517 million.

As for other movies, "New Shaolin Temple" is in the early 200 million, and "Carry on Love to the End" broke out on Valentine's Day, and the box office also fell rapidly, and finally it was only one step away from 200 million.

The box office of the controversial "Green Hornet" is only 150 million, and as for several other small-budget comedies, they are all around 40 or 50 million, failing to reproduce the grand occasion of two or three small-budget comedies breaking 100 million last year.

To put it mildly, the audience is not so easy to deceive, it is not a comedy on the festive day of family reunion in the Spring Festival, and the audience will buy it.

Hollywood blockbusters have been released since March, and the next few months will basically be dominated by Hollywood blockbusters.

However, during this time, entertainment news is quite lively, and there will be some major entertainment news at this time of year, which is particularly coincidental, just in time for the unpopular schedule of film and television dramas, which can be regarded as filling the gap in entertainment news.

Yao Chen, known as the "Queen of Weibo", is divorced, and her ex-husband Ling Xiaosu was scolded by netizens on Weibo.

On the third anniversary of the door incident, the divorce rumors of Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizi spread again.

As soon as I went online, it seemed that there were divorces everywhere, and there was no one who got married.

These should be a lively look, and the newly promulgated entertainment restriction order of optoelectronics has something to do with the inside page.

All satellite TV channels are required to broadcast no more than two entertainment programs per week in the prime time of the evening, and must set up moral construction programs and strictly control the number of talent shows.

restricts variety shows, and there will be more schedules for TV dramas.

However, for TV series, optoelectronics also has requirements.

TV series are not Li Qian's focus, but Optoelectronics once again issued a "tobacco control order", which has something to do with Li Qian.

Li Qian, who has been perfecting the storyboard script at home, also came to the company and chatted with Du Yang.

"What's the situation, how many times has this been?"

Li Qian was a little inexplicable, and after careful calculation, it seemed that the photoelectric had issued four tobacco control orders in a row in the past few years.

Du Yang said, "I asked, it was proposed by the Tobacco Control Association, and this time it was also brought up by the Disease Control and Prevention Association, but it is not a ban, it is only forbidden to have minors smoking, buying cigarettes, and smoking in front of minors, and tobacco brands cannot appear in the camera." ”

"That's right. ”

Li Qian is clear, the focus is on the latter, and the Tobacco Control Association and the Tobacco Bureau are on the bar again.

It is not surprising that two naturally opposing institutions raise the bar against each other year after year.

Previously, the Tobacco Control Association also urged the Civil Affairs Bureau to cancel the "China Charity Award" for six tobacco companies, so that the Modu World Expo returned 200 million yuan in donations from several tobacco companies, and the National Games also returned all sponsorships of tobacco companies.

Not only did not allow others to accept tobacco donations, but also demanded a ban on tobacco advertising, this time it finally burned to the film and television industry, and the film and television industry receives a lot of advertisements from the Tobacco Bureau every year.

The Tobacco Control Association has also been scolded, and last year it seems that the Tobacco Bureau has been scolded, saying that the association has received a lot of foreign aid in recent years, especially mainly from the United States.

Anyway, it's a mutual scolding.

Li Qian thought about it, there are a lot of smoking scenes in "I Am Not the God of Medicine", after all, it is necessary to show the character's mood of being depressed, thinking about problems, etc.

If you don't smoke, with Cheng Yong, a figure at the bottom of society, there is no better way.

"It doesn't matter much, it's just that there are no tobacco brands. ”

However, Director Li, the document also said that for movies and TV series with more smoking scenes, they will not be included in the various film and TV series evaluation activities held by the General Administration. ”

Du Yang raised a concern, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is a realistic movie, although it is a commercial film, but this theme is also relatively easy to win awards, in terms of qualifications, Li Qian is definitely enough.

Li Qian shook his head, "It doesn't matter if the award is awarded or not, besides, this means that it is not included in the evaluation activities held by the General Administration, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers are all sponsored by the Film Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, how to define it is not a matter of optoelectronics." ”

The Federation of Literary and Art Circles can not belong to the photocell, and the competent unit is the Propaganda Department.

It doesn't make much sense whether you win the award or not, and it's not about the movie itself.

"The Wind", a classic spy war film with the main theme, only Su Youpeng won the Best Supporting Actor at the Hundred Flowers Award last year, and the two heroines were not even nominated for a queen.

You must know that even Fan Binbin in "October Siege" and Shu Qi in "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" have been nominated for actresses.

This year's Golden Rooster Award is also enough, and there is a high probability of returning empty-handed.

The relationship in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles is actually more important than the movie itself.

Don't look at Ma Xiaogang being scolded by people in the literary and art circles every year, in fact, people who have connections in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles have long joined the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, is a national member of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and participates in various activities every year.

All kinds of domestic films, operas, and even the Golden Eagle Award are sponsored by the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

Li Qian didn't have time to join the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, it was unnecessary, it was not beneficial, and he was too lazy to go into the camp.

"Yes. Du Yang nodded, she has been in the industry for many years, she knows the golden rooster and flowers very well, and now it has completely changed its taste.

"By the way, the film and television copyright of "Celebrating More Than Years" has been taken down, and "Ghost Blows the Lamp" may be a little troublesome there. ”

"What? How much does Shengda Literature cost?"

"That's not, Shengda Literature's statement is that the first four parts of this series, that is, the full copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 1" was indeed bought out by Shengda Literature at a price of 100,000, and it didn't take long for the author to transfer the full copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2" to Shengda Literature at a price of 1.5 million, and the author will receive 40% of the remuneration for film and television adaptation. ”

“40%？”

Li Qian looked surprised, how can there be this reason, no matter how big-name the author is, it is impossible to have 40% of the income, even if it is 40% after removing the cost, there is no precedent for this in China.

Shengda Literature is a coin, who will buy it.

Not to mention the author, even the biggest international directors are unlikely to take a 40% share.

Du Yang smiled bitterly, "So I'm also surprised, I stopped the negotiation first, and asked the legal department to study the contract between the two of them." ”

"Show me the original text of this clause. ”

Li Qian looked at the original text of this clause, that is, the author transferred the full copyright of the last four parts to Shengda Literature at a price of 1.5 million, and if the work sells the film and television rights, the author will receive 40% of the adaptation remuneration.

The key lies in the 40%.

"However, this is obvious, 40% refers to the income from the sale of film and television copyrights, not the income created by the film, right?" Li Qian asked with some uncertainty, and he didn't know much about the law.

"On the surface, it's like this, but in order to prevent future ruffles, it's better to figure it out. Zhong Lifang said.

At this time, someone from the legal department came and reported their analysis of the contract.

It is indeed 40% of the income from the sale of film and television copyrights by Shengda Literature, not 40% of the income generated by film and television dramas.

In other words, Shengda Literature sells film and television copyrights to other companies, and the copyright fee obtained must be given to the author 40%, which has nothing to do with the producer who buys film and television copyrights and turns them into films.

In this way, the second half of the film will be sold for 2.5 million, and Shengda Literature will be able to get 1.5 million, without losing money, and if it sells 10 million, it can only take 6 million.

However, it has nothing to do with Li Qian, as long as you make sure that there is no dispute over the copyright.

"That's okay, let's continue to talk, how is the person in charge of the theater looking for?" Li Qian asked again.

Huang Yan is in contact with Gao Jun, vice president of the New Film Federation, and there seems to be expectations over there, wanting to see if the management system will be adjusted because of the plummeting market share in recent years. Du Yang probably talked about the situation.

"Take your time. Li Qian nodded.

There is an idea is basically stable, just restructured from the industry boss to the fifth, although changing the management and changing the administrative management system is the best choice, but this does not mean that the above did wrong before?

This is impossible, sometimes I would rather make a mistake to the end, and I am not far from admitting my mistakes, anyway, it is the public that loses.

"Okay, it's nothing, I'll go first, Mr. Du, you're busy. ”

Such a little thing, another morning passed.

However, when Li Qian was about to leave, Tenghua Tao came.

The two sides have already confirmed the cooperation of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", and Teng Huatao saw that Li Qian was a little embarrassed at this time.

Of course, it wasn't because of Li Qian, but two days ago I told Wang Jinghua that she had replaced the role of her actor Bai Baihe, and Wang Jinghua asked him out that night.

Originally, he was responsible for his own losses, and the roles he said were replaced, and the two of them have been friends for many years, so Teng Huatao didn't mention how embarrassing it was after meeting.

This led to an inexplicable embarrassment when I saw Li Qian.

However, for Li Qian, a director who created a box office record of 800 million, Teng Huatao, who wants to enter the big screen, still has a very low attitude.

"Hello Director Li. Teng Huatao hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, this was the first time they had spoken, and Du Yang had been talking to him before.

"Director Teng, please sit down, how is the preparation of the movie, just ask Mr. Du if you have any questions. Li Qian smiled and asked him to sit down.

Teng Huatao sat down upright, compared to the casualness in front of Huang Zhongjun, it was much more formal now, after all, he was not familiar with Li Qian.

Moreover, after so many years of relationship, his father's connections have helped Huayang so much, and he has also filmed a phenomenal TV series, but he still refuses to give more than 10 million investments.

People's hearts, Tenghua Tao can be regarded as seeing through, don't mix feelings when talking about business.

He smiled, "Director Li, rest assured, I have been preparing for "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" for more than half a year, and it is already very perfect, there is no problem with the release on November 11, and Lao Zhang has also begun to help me choose the location." ”

It's a bit ridiculous to say, this is obviously not Huayang's film, but the producer is Du Yang, Huayang's former colleague, who helped him prepare the film is the production director Zhang Jun, Huayang's vice president of production, who also does this in Huayang, and the other supporting roles are Zong Shuai, who is also a colleague and friend in Huayang.

Teng Huatao has a feeling that he is still making films for the Huang brothers.

"By the way, Hua Tao, do you want Director Li to put up the name of a producer and help you publicize it when the time comes?" Du Yang suddenly asked.

This one...

If Li Qian is named as a producer, he will definitely focus on Li Qian's name before the release, and the audience will probably be easy to ignore as a director.

Several movies produced by Li Qian, from the time they were promoted before the release to the release of the movie, a considerable part of the news about the movie will appear Li Qian's name, and those who don't know still think that this is Li Qian's film.

There were no media and audiences who suspected that it was actually Li Qian's film, and the director was just a tool man.

Although there are more movies produced by the producer, Su Lun's two consecutive movies are big hits, and this kind of voice is gone.

knowledge, after the movie is a big hit, his limelight will definitely be taken away by Li Qian.

However, after Li Qian became a producer, it was the best publicity and the biggest box office guarantee, and from that moment on, countless audiences would be waiting for this movie.

If it was in Huayang before, Huang Zhongjun asked him if he wanted Ma Xiaogang to hang a producer name, Teng Huatao would 100% refuse, this is his movie, and he can only have his name.

However, the Huang brothers are not optimistic about themselves, and in the past three months, they and Wang Jinghua have run more than a dozen companies, and the less than 20 million investment that is buckled and squeezed cannot be made.

As Huayang's contracted director, Huayang doesn't give money, and other companies naturally subconsciously think that Huang Zhongjun is not optimistic about his project.

It's like the same entrepreneurial idea, Ma Qingyang said that there is no future, so other investors will be more or less affected.

And the cost of 20 million is not a small amount, if it is 5 million, it will be more than the company's investment.

This period of time also hit him, and the reality gave him a blow to the head as a genius director, and also made him put away the arrogance in his heart.

For him, the success of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" is the most important thing, and he wants to prove to those who are not optimistic about him, including the Huang brothers, that he is still the genius director who made "Snail House", even if he moves to the big screen, he will still succeed!

Instead of running back to shoot a TV series after failure and letting others watch jokes, Teng Huatao can't accept the possibility of failure.

Teng Hua pondered for a moment, but still nodded, "Then it's troublesome Director Li." ”

Li Qian smiled, "There's nothing troublesome, I just attract the audience into the cinema, and it depends on what the result is." ”

In fact, Li Qian can't understand what Huang Zhongjun is thinking in his head, such a genius director, even if it is the first time to make a movie, he is also a director who has made a phenomenal TV series, and "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" is a popular romantic comedy now, there is no reason not to invest.

Huayang also made an H plan, found ten directors to prepare a bunch of mindless projects, and would rather find outsiders than invest in their own contracted directors, and there is no one, it is estimated that the brain suddenly short-circuited and was demoted.

"By the way, Director Li, I don't know if you have time, I want to talk to you about my script, I've finished the storyboard, imagine you can ask for advice. Teng Hua Tao lowered his posture and said.

？？？

This is a famous director who is more than ten years older than himself, and he looks like a junior to seek guidance, Li Qian is a little unaccustomed to it.

Suddenly became a senior?
