It’s the end of the year and everyone is busier than before.

Cheng Yu'an doesn't have to keep an eye on the performance of each movie, but Yu Gong, as the chairman of Yuan Yuan Media Group, has to attend the annual summary report meeting of each department, and the same is true for Yuan Yuan Technology.

Although Tudou's plan to go overseas is progressing slowly, it is also advancing steadily.

Needless to say, South Korea is Tudou's first stop overseas and the one with the best results. Tudou Korea has completed the integration of YC Studio's TV drama department. In the future, YC Studio will slowly be integrated into Tudou Korea.

Yes, I still can’t trust the old Korean people. Now that friendly cooperation has resumed, who knows when these people will fall out.

The Japanese station had a bloody battle with Netflix this year.

With its powerful Hollywood film library, Netflix attracted a huge number of users as soon as it launched in Japan.

But Tudou Japan relied on its first-mover advantage to withstand the first wave of offensive.

In September this year, Netflix launched its first series "Underwear" in Japan, and the response was average.

Tudou was a latecomer, launching its first animated film "One Punch Man" in October.

The network was simulcast on Taiwan and received a very good response. Then in the same month, the live-action series "Hot Street" and "Memories from Kyoko" were launched, which also triggered a viewing frenzy.

But the short-term victory did not make Tudou feel relaxed. Netflix is ​​too rich and too powerful.

Next, in markets such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Bay Island, and Hong Kong Island, Tudou's first-mover advantage will be gone.

It can be said that starting next year, Tudou will really compete with Netflix in the Asian market.

According to reliable information in the industry, next month, Netflix will fully build its website in Bay Island, Hong Kong Island, the Philippines, South Korea, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and other regions and countries.

Tudou’s Southeast Asia headquarters is built in Singapore, and Netflix almost collides with Tudou every step of the way.

Deng Runliang, president of Tudou Southeast Asia (former vice president of Singapore Media Group), had already boasted in a previous interview: "In Southeast Asia, we want Netflix to have no return."

There is no need to worry in South Korea. Remote has been operating in South Korea for more than ten years and is confident of defeating Netflix.

Personally, Cheng Yu'an has to focus on "The Wandering Earth" - which will be launched in two months - and attend various conferences and forums held at the end of the year.

I am a bit busy, but when I get home and make a video call with my wife and children on the other side of the ocean at night, I instantly feel rejuvenated.

Cheng Yu'an couldn't stay with them, so he could only talk to them on video every day and show his face in front of his daughter. Don't go back to China next year. It would be embarrassing if her daughter didn't recognize him as her father.

At the annual meeting of the Producers Association at the end of the year, the association received an important proposal:

"Hong Kong and Taiwan films are required to join the ladder division account."

In the two years since the implementation of the tiered accounting system, the results have not been very good. Ten films are produced every year, with both losses and profits. However, this policy has indeed eased the conflict of interests between theaters and distributors, and both parties have indeed benefited a lot from this policy.

.

However, this policy excludes films from Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as co-productions between the Mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan.

This made Hong Kong and Taiwan film producers very dissatisfied, and they have been clamoring for the same treatment as domestic films since the first year of the policy.

In particular, Hong Kong film producers were so excited after seeing "Monster Hunt" that their own "Monster Hunt" had a box office of over 1 billion, but the film producers only made some hard-earned money.

I am even more dissatisfied with this policy.

After two years of turmoil, the association finally has to face up to this issue.

However, mainland production representatives are almost unanimously opposed to the inclusion of tiered accounting for Hong Kong and Taiwan films.

There are only 10 quotas every year, but I don’t have enough to eat. Every year I fight to the death, and Hong Kong and Taiwan films still want to get a piece of the pie, but there is no way.

It doesn't matter whether the theaters are there, if a movie is released, whose money is not earned?

Taiwan and Hong Kong sent representatives Wen Jun, Jiang Zhiqiang, and Jiao Xiongping to lobby the association.

They argue that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family, and that Chinese-language films do not distinguish between you and me, and we must unite to fight against the invasion of Hollywood.

But one of the biggest problems we face is that currently pure Hong Kong and Taiwan films and co-productions entering the mainland enjoy the same treatment as mainland films - a fixed 43:57 share.

"If Hong Kong and Taiwan films are to be included in the tiered accounts, how do we control the censorship standards? According to the requirements for mainland films, how many Hong Kong and Taiwan films can enter the mainland?" Li Xiaoping, vice president of Guangxian, a representative of mainland producers, asked.

In fact, the mainland production representatives present here have a very real concern.

If Hong Kong and Taiwan films can enjoy tiered distribution, "Along with the Gods," which is currently being produced remotely, will definitely come in.

Yuan Yuan will restart Jiahe again, and who knows what kind of monster movies will be produced by Yuan Yuan at that time to share the cake.

They don't want to see the remote family making too much on this policy.

One question left the Hong Kong and Taiwan representative speechless.

Nowadays, the only advantage Hong Kong and Taiwan films have over mainland films is their scale. The censorship standards for Hong Kong and Taiwan films are relatively loose, which can often bring different sensory stimulations to mainland audiences.

Even if you give them ten courages, they would not dare to say that they are willing to accept the same censorship standards as mainland films.

Not to mention, if Hong Kong's most popular series "The Overheard" series were to be censored by the mainland, this film would not even be approved.

This issue is stuck on this issue.

Cheng Yu'an sat high on the Diaoyutai, smiling as Wen Jun and others were silenced by the mainland producers.

Of course he is aware of the impact of the tiered splitting policy on Hong Kong and Taiwan films. Teams have gone north to make money, and directors and directors staying at home cannot make much money.

Every year I hold my breath, dying but unable to die, living but unable to survive.

If Hong Kong and Taiwan films can really put down their pretensions and fully integrate into the mainland, the political and cultural significance of this will be far greater than a ladder-like division of accounts.

The Hong Kong and Taiwan delegation said they would go back to discuss this issue: "But we will not give up this demand. After all, we are one family and we are facing the same powerful opponent."

The delegation is mainly based on Hong Kong Island. In their eyes, Bay Island does not have the strength to make a blockbuster film that can enter the ladder division.

It has been years since there has been a film in Wandao with an investment of over 100 million. Do you still want to enter the ladder division?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Stupid dreams.

Mainland filmmakers don’t understand this?

Of course they know, that's why they oppose this proposal.

How can it be such a good thing to invest 30 to 50 million yuan and just want to get a step-by-step account split?

We argued at the meeting all day with no results.

Finally, it’s time to enter the arrangements and prospects for the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival stalls.

Cheng Yuan brought the news back to the company.

Colleagues in the company also said that Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers want to eat swan meat.

"Get it when it's cheap."

…………

Wu Ershan took a break from the crew of "Along with the Gods" and started busy promoting "The Secret of the Dragon".

This movie actually doesn't need much effort in publicity. Firstly, there is a huge source of original work, and secondly, the failure of "The Nine-Story Demonic Tower" has already placed a lot of advertising for "The Secret of the Dragon".

But Wu Ershan still explained why he chose Reba, a young newcomer, to play the role of Shirley Yang.

"Reba's body function is very good. I need an actress who dares to do actions and can do them well. Reba meets the requirements of the crew very well, and she is so beautiful and popular, so I chose her."

Reba's previous performance in "The Love of Carat" won the audience's approval, and there was no question about her acting skills at the scene.

Reba thanked Wu Ershan for his trust and boasted on the scene: "I really enjoy the thrill of action scenes. I am also very grateful to Liu Huohua, Brother Bo and Teacher Xia Yu for teaching me on the scene. I learned a lot about acting."

The original author Tian Xia Ba Sing, who has been a strong supporter of "The Secret of the Dragon", lamented that from participating in the screenwriting to the release, "it feels like a dream". He revealed that "The Secret of the Dragon" was written based on the ninth part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"

, and I hope the sequel can continue to be filmed in the future.

Huang Bo said with a smile: "It must be fun to watch us fall bruised and swollen at the scene."

And the results of the movie did not live up to the painstaking efforts of the creators.

It achieved a super good result of 160 million on the first day, which was the best result since the opening of the Lunar New Year season.

Audiences said: "It is a benchmark for domestic fantasy adventure films!"

It is said that Lu Chuan's teeth were broken when he heard the news.
