Chapter 530 A very young old man

At this time, Zhang Guoshi, who is in the Xi'an Film Studio, is serving as a photographer.
"Old Zhang, Lao Zhang... is here to live, come to live!" When Master Zhang was squatting by the pool to wash his socks, a colleague suddenly ran over and shouted loudly.
"What kind of work? Could it be that guy who is going out for fun again? Lend us Lao Zhang out as a photo master!" By the edge of the pool, other colleagues came over with a smile and said.
"By the way, Lao Zhang. The unit you went to take photos last time, I saw the photos you washed out, and there were two girls who were really beautiful.
Can you introduce me to me? If this happens, I will treat you to a meal for a few days in the future." Some people are full of work, but some people are full of thinking about finding a partner.
Although Lao Zhang is playing with film cameras, his main job is to shoot movies.
However, when other units asked to come and wanted to borrow a photographer to help everyone take photos as a souvenir, Xi'an Film Studio could only actively cooperate.
However, all of this is not affected by the work.
"Isn't that girl wearing yellow clothes and two braids?
They already have a master of famous flowers, although the two did not take a photo when taking photos.
But based on my observation that day, I felt that this girl was constantly flirting with another man.
Perhaps it was not until the public was made that the two of them did not confess all this to their colleagues.
Since the little girl has a partner, you should give up your heart!" Mr. Zhang did not respond to his colleague's shouting to come to work. At this time, for Mr. Zhang, his first reaction was that he wanted to go to other units to play a guest appearance as a photographer.
I clearly learned photography, but I haven’t made many movies, but I have taken many photos for people in Xi’an.
The good times cannot do serious business. They follow others behind the back like a follower every day. Such a job is both boring and boring, and Master Zhang has long been a little impatient.
So when colleagues shouted and shouted that there was work to do, Master Zhang did not respond immediately.
Instead, he teased the colleague beside him who wanted to pursue a beautiful girl.
Seeing that Master Zhang ignored him, his colleague who had just called for work to put away his anxious expression on his face, but instead turned on the faucet and washed his face slowly.
"You think our factory can make a few movies this year? We are still a film studio after all. As the year is about to pass, we have set up a project all year round.
And this project was decided two years ago.
In order to make the money to run this movie, our factory leaders' hair is going to turn white.
Now that the movie has been filmed and is being edited, I believe it will be released in all cinemas in Xi'an during the Chinese New Year.
But this movie wasted two or three years, and I don’t know when the next movie will be.” When I said this, this person kept looking at the people around me.
"It's different from the past. At least every year there was a gift film.
But with the pace of reform, I heard that in the future, film studios like us will also make a living.
It sounds like a good thing, I raise funds and shoot what I want to shoot.
If the superior leader makes arrangements, funds will be arranged for shooting.
When you don’t have a task on weekdays, you rely solely on your own to make a living.
Raise money to make movies, raise money to make copies, and then get the screening in the cinema to collect tickets.
Although it is just a legend now, it has not been completely implemented in our factory.
But when you read what is said in the newspaper, you probably will make a living in the next two or three years.
There seem to be thirty-five film studios across the country. If you want to support one, you have to take out at least two or three movies a year.
In this way, more than 100 movies will be released nationwide every year.
On average, a movie will meet the common people in two or three days.
If the tickets are not sold well, I am afraid that the cost will not be recovered." When it comes to making a living in the future, some people are very worried about their eyes being blind.
"If we really make a living in the future, will all the cinemas in Xi'an show the films of our Xi'an film studio?
In addition, our entire province will also provide protection.
But what I am more worried about is that if every province adopts such a protection policy.
Every place shoots the videos themselves and then takes them to the cinemas in their own provinces for screening. No matter how good we shoot, we may not be able to enter other areas." Some people are prescient and worried that the places are too protected, and even if they are well-shooted, it will be difficult for other areas to harvest box offices.
However, this worry didn't last for two seconds. Suddenly someone said, "Now the cinema is not under the jurisdiction of the local government. Don't you know this? It's written in the newspaper that you don't read it?
Tens of thousands of cinemas across the country have all been merged into one company called a film screening company.
Among them, 51% of the shares of the company were sold to the big capitalist Lin Ping.
Now that I want to release the movie, I can only try to make Lin Ping have the final say.
But there are both good and bad things in this matter. Let’s not talk about the bad things, just talk about the good side.
If a movie is taken by Lin Ping, it will be released in tens of thousands of theaters across the country.
At that time, the box office will probably not be a small amount. Even if cinemas account for 90% of the revenue, our film studios only account for 10% of the revenue.
As long as two or three movies are broadcast in theaters every year, I guess I can earn millions every year.”
When people think of a movie that can be screened at the same time in tens of thousands of theaters across the country, as film practitioners, people feel goosebumps all over their bodies boiling.
After all, as a professional film studio staff, the most copied and produced videos in Xi'an Film Studio have only been more than 300 copies in history.
More than 300 copies are only supported to be screened at 300 cinemas at the same time.
Even if you look around the country, it is extremely rare to make 1,000 copies of a video at the same time.
If a movie can produce tens of thousands of copies and is played in tens of thousands of cinemas across the country at the same time, it will make people feel excited when thinking about it.
"If Lin Ping didn't let our film studio release the films, wouldn't our Xi'an film studio never be able to enter the theater again?
Do leaders ignore them?
How can a capitalist have the final say in this kind of thing?
If all 35 film studios across the country were not allowed to be released, wouldn’t our country’s film industry be completely over?
No, I want to write a letter to the leader to seriously reflect this disadvantage." Someone suddenly lost the mood to wash clothes and wanted to write a letter of complaint immediately to give feedback on how serious the persecution of capital on film culture is.
"Get it done!" Someone saw his colleague's reaction and directly pushed him with a smile.
"You can't even think of anything your leader can think of?
Are you the smartest in the country?
Since the leader has made a decision, there must be the intention of the leader.
Besides, everything you just said is just speculation.
Who can guarantee whether there are relevant regulations when both parties sign the contract?
With such a big loophole here, leaders will definitely restrict the contract.
Moreover, Lin Ping is a capitalist, and the essence of a capitalist is to make money.
As long as the movies you shoot are good enough, what reason does he have to prevent these movies from being released?
Just wash your clothes honestly and don’t cause trouble for your leaders.
Just your little cleverness is so hard to chase a girl.” After saying something, everyone laughed.
"Then what do you mean when you were yelling just now?" Master Zhang suddenly seemed to think of something in his mind when he heard this, so he quickly put down the socks in his hand and asked.
"Ouch! You know how to ask me now? It's a little late!
It's getting late now, so I'll talk to you to dinner in the evening." Seeing Master Zhang seemingly recalled, the person who was still screaming just now became arrogant.
"Isn't it just a meal? I'll invite you, just ask.
Don’t delay your work, please tell me quickly.” Master Zhang asked in a hurry.
"Our factory received a call that Lin Ping, the big capitalist, wanted to invest in a hundred movies. Now he has joined forces with Shanghai Theatre, Beijing Theatre, Central Theatre, and Military Arts to prepare these movies.
Among them, the Military Arts has full support from the Bayi Film Studio, and they will produce twenty-five movies completely independently.
Although the other three academies can also make movies independently, it is obviously difficult to start work in large quantities.
For this reason, these three colleges and universities called all film studios across the country for help. This includes our Xi'an Film Studio!
The factory manager said that we should quickly select backbone forces and go to Beijing to get in touch with the Central Academy of Drama Beijing Film Academy.
As for the Shanghai Theater, I can only give up temporarily.
After all, our factory has limited funds and concentrated limited funds to go to Beijing.
Our factory is too poor, and we really can't afford to spend two allocations of funds to let two groups of people go to Beijing and Shanghai in batches." Hearing Master Zhang promised to treat guests to dinner in the evening, the visitor said slowly.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and find the leader to make a quota." Before Master Zhang could speak, there were already people around him who couldn't wait.
He ignored the clothes, and even the foam on his hands was not washed, and he wiped two handfuls of his pants, rushing towards the factory director's office like wind.
Someone took the lead, and Mr. Zhang followed the people in front of him toward the factory director's office like a wild horse that broke away from the border.
Watching the two of them rush away, the man shouted from behind, "Don't forget to treat them tonight!"
"Don't worry! I will ask you tonight. By the way, I'll help me take back my clothes..." When Master Zhang said this, he didn't even look back and rushed into the office building far away.
When Mr. Zhang followed his colleagues to the floor where the factory leaders were, it was already crowded.
Everyone wants to participate in this co-production plan with colleges and universities.
For everyone, this work is not only about making movies, but also about a major turning point that can change life.
Although many people in the office corridor have expressed various versions of rumors, the news here is true and false.
But there is one thing that everyone can be sure of, that is, the three colleges and universities have a large number of movies that need to be filmed.
Such a large-scale work is enough for everyone to get rid of the boring life now and become a real filmmaker.
The corridors were bustling, and it was obvious that this was no longer a place to talk about.
Soon, at the call of the factory director, the radio in the factory began to be broadcast.
"All employees are invited to the auditorium for a meeting immediately, and all employees are asked to the auditorium for a meeting immediately..."
Half an hour later, the auditorium was filled with more than 300 people.
"Comrades may have heard the news..." After seeing everyone sitting down, the factory director spoke to the microphone on the stage.
"The three colleges and universities did call, and I hope we can cooperate with them in filming the movie.
This time, we are a working person.
All the main creators of the film are hosted by three colleges and universities.
However, I had asked my superiors carefully just now.
The leader said it very clearly and hoped that we would cooperate well.
We will strive to achieve outstanding results, and strive to cooperate with the national theaters acquired by Lin Ping in the name of Xi'an Film Studio in the future.
This time, Lin Ping gave a budget of 3 million per movie, which can be made 10 movies at such a price.
Comrades, your era has arrived.
Think about it, if our Xi'an Film Studio gets a contract for 5 movies, it will be 15 million yuan.
If we had this money, we would probably be able to make dozens of movies in our factory, and we would not have to worry about money anymore in the next 5 to 8 years." The factory director has been working for so many years and is so excited for the first time. After all, such an opportunity is too rare.
The factory manager in his 60s talked a lot, but after more than half an hour, the conversation suddenly changed.
"Comrades, we will send two working groups this time to strive to win two colleges and universities. In the next two days, the factory will conduct talent selection.
All workstations, whether it is photography, lighting, recording, props, or art, must undergo the strictest examinations.
This time, no matter whether you are a master or a young man, I promise to give you the fairest opportunity.
If there is a master who is not selected this time, don’t complain.
This opportunity is related to the future of our factory.
If you do not seize this opportunity, you may be abandoned by your peers in the future.
There are now 35 film studios across the country, and people will definitely be eliminated at that time, especially after the full implementation of the city economy.
So, I won't give anyone face.
No one can use me to go through the back door. We only look at technology and your abilities.
If I give you favors and end up hurting our factory, how can I explain to everyone present in the future?” The factory director said seriously to everyone present.
When the young people at the scene heard this, flames rose in their hearts.
What they worry most is qualifications.
If everything depends on qualifications, then these young people will not have any chance.
Although the film industry is very technical, most people are not much different in technology.
Newcomers who have worked for 5 years do not have much technical differences compared to masters who have been working for more than ten years.
This leads to that if the qualifications determine everything, then they will just watch it this time.
Chapter completed!
