[Because in the first half of the year, the China Directors Association failed to achieve its set goals as agreed, the relevant departments will cancel some of the financial support and policy support for the China Directors Association, and temporarily cancel the priority channel!]
[Some directors such as Zhou Yang and Feng Kai of the "Chinese Youth Directors Association" have completed the agreement as required. After discussion with the relevant departments, they unanimously decided to issue the [Director Support Fund] to the Youth Association, reissue some policy support, and discuss opening priority channels.
!]
September 17th.
The Chinese film industry, which was abuzz with "Infernal Affairs", suddenly received an even more important news!
Although this news was not official, it was just a screenshot of an instruction taken by a staff member of the relevant department, but after seeing this news, the entire circle was in an uproar.
The directors headed by Feng Minmin drove towards the relevant departments early in the morning. Facing countless reporters, Vice Chairman Shen Jinsong had gloomy eyes and said nothing.
After waiting for Xu Kangnian's office, Feng Minmin and others rushed over one after another.
"Xu Chu, what does this mean?"
"How do you say it can be canceled if it can be canceled? You can't just start targeting us just because our Chinese films have been impacted by Hollywood this year, right?"
"Our movies are all released in the second half of the year... Shen Jinsong, Director Shen has a martial arts movie "Sword God", a police movie "Darkness" directed by Xiao Bin, "Beast" directed by Zhang Liansong, and the main theme movie "We"
As for "The Country"...these are all blockbusters, and they are ready to attack Hollywood movies in the second half of the year!"
"Yes, our film industry's goal this year is three billion, right? If these movies go wrong or cannot be released as scheduled, how will we get three billion!"
"right……"
Ever since the older generation of leaders retired.
Zhang Jianguo and Xu Kangnian, one became the leader in charge of the television department, and the other became the leader in charge of the film department.
Shen Jinsong and others were quite happy at first. Xu Kangniancheng, who was with them, took charge of their leadership with the power of life and death. Next, the Chinese film industry will continue to prosper under his leadership and their efforts?
In the first half of the year, Zhou Yang really made a lot of noise in the film industry and stole the limelight. Especially towards the second half of the year, not only did Zhou Yang not calm down, but he became more and more violent, offending some capital in the film industry.
, many directors, including many people in the industry, gritted their teeth with hatred.
Even if this happened and Zhou Yang's trip to Venice was met with failure, they would still just post some complaints on the Internet, criticize Zhou Yang, or at most discuss tricking Zhou Yang and Hua Xing behind their backs.
But they just thought that they had not done anything substantial yet. Who would have expected that they would receive a "suspension of support" notice from the relevant departments.
Financial support is secondary. They are not short of hundreds of thousands or millions of funds...
The important thing is the priority channel!
What does priority channel mean?
That is, some movies may not be approved if they go through the normal process, or the approval is very slow. It takes about two months for a script alone, and it may not be approved.
But taking the priority channel will give you certain permissions. Many movie scripts are submitted on the same day, and the scripts are reviewed and approved the next day. When the movie is released, various policy support will also be given, including the "Domestic Film Protection Month"
In a few months, we will focus on protecting its movies so that the movies can attract more box office. In addition, there are also publicity channels, and the key channels are not even limited to official and CCTV channels...
Once this kind of supporting treatment is cancelled, those people from the China Film Association will have no advantage at all except for the back door in script review!
"But you did not meet the requirements of the "Military Order"..." Xu Kangnian faced each director, his face did not show anger, but calmly raised his head and glanced at Feng Ruijin.
"You also suggested that we postpone the release? You said that Hollywood movies are great in the first half of the year, and the second half is a little empty. Otherwise, how could we not reach a box office of 1 billion? Now it is more than 900 million! Don't we all listen to you?
The instructions have been pushed again and again, and now it is almost pushed to October... If not, how could we not get a billion box office?" Shen Jinsong finally couldn't help but say this.
"I'm just doing things as required..." Xu Kangnian frowned slightly, and then he remained silent: "I can't express my personal opinion on this matter. Deputy Chief An will give you an explanation. Well, you can go to the conference room. He will replace the previous one."
Zhang Jianguo, Zhang Ke will contact you about the work..."
There was an uproar in the office again.
Xu Kangnian ignored the uproar and just wrote the report seriously.
After a group of directors saw Xu Kangnian's expression, they didn't dare to say anything and could only walk towards the conference room with gloomy faces.
First half of 2007.
When the "Chinese Young Directors Association" was first established...
Zhou Yang issued a military order in the conference room of the relevant department.
The content of the military order is that in the first half of the year, the "China Young Directors Association" will have a box office of 500 million yuan, while the "China Directors Association" will have to bring in 500 million yuan in box office in order to receive corresponding support from relevant departments.
first half of the year.
Several movies that China Star has invested in, such as "Struggle", "The Guardian", and "Saw", have all been box office hits, and the total box office has already exceeded 500 million.
The directors from the Chinese Directors Association are very embarrassed. They have directed many blockbusters such as "The Golden Armor", "Dragon City", "Night Walker", etc., and the box office is not bad. However, in the end, due to Hollywood's
Due to the impact of blockbusters, they put many movies in the second half of the year, resulting in failure to complete the set tasks and stuck at a box office of more than 900 million...
I originally thought that no one would mention this matter, and it would just go by, after all, with Xu Kangnian’s protection, but who would have thought that the relevant departments would really take this matter seriously.
The directors left the office one after another.
However, Feng Minmin, president of the China Directors Association, stayed...
"Is this really the arrangement?"
"Although gambling is prohibited and is not encouraged, we are still willing to accept defeat. What do you think?"
"I think this is unfair. Xu Chu, if you want to speak for us, no matter how powerful Secretary An is, why can't she listen to you? Can she uproot the entire industry and rebuild the world? Although Zhou Yang is powerful now, but
He can't afford it, and he can't represent Chinese movies... We old people will quit if they quit, but we can't bear your ambition to be wasted... Now Hollywood movies are arrogant..."
"I abide by everything I can abide by. I just feel that I am willing to admit defeat and advise you to be calm. In the business era, the box office is the last word. But as for what you want to do, I... I can only advise..." Xu Kangnian raised his head
He glanced at Feng Ruijin and showed a smile.
After seeing Xu Kangnian's smile, Feng Minji frowned slightly, then relaxed, nodded seriously to him, and then smiled: "We will abide by the law."
Just after Feng Ruimin left, he saw Zhou Yilin walking over.
He frowned.
"Lao Zhou, why are you here so late for this matter? Didn't you inform me?"
"Ahem, cough, there's a traffic jam on the road, are you done with it now? I just came back from Venice and I'm still wet..."
"I asked you to sit in my car, but you won't... Forget it, let's go in and see what tricks An Xiao can do. I really don't believe she can bring down the entire industry..."
"Okay, okay, baby, belly, look at my belly, you guys go in first."
"Okay! Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's just that I may have had a bad stomach from eating yesterday..."
"Okay, then you go ahead."
"Um."
Feng Minmin watched Zhou Yilin suddenly cover his stomach with a very painful expression, and then walked into the conference room speechless.
No one knew that after Feng Ruimin left, Zhou Yilin showed a smile on his face, and then walked towards An Xiao's office while no one was paying attention.
A minute later, Zhou Yilin walked out of An Xiao's office, put the information on the "Support Policy of the Chinese Young Directors Association" into his arms, and walked into the conference room with a grimace.
Looking at the directors who were full of resentment and wanted to bring down the entire conference room, Zhou Yilin began to look a little painful again: "Oh, I'm sorry, I had a bad meal yesterday. Everyone, I'm going to the hospital first. I have a stomachache. Everyone,
No matter how you vote by a show of hands, I agree. Hey, I’m too young, maybe I have appendicitis...it hurts me to death..."
Seeing the concerned people expressing their intention to help, Zhou Yilin quickly shook his head: "No, An Xiao is coming over. Business is important. Business is important. My assistant is outside the conference room. It's okay..."
Zhou Yilin left the conference room with the help of his assistant. After leaving the conference room and getting into the car, Zhou Yilin's brows straightened instantly.
"Director Zhou...you're okay. The driver will turn around and go to the hospital in a moment. Hurry..."
"What the hell, let's go, let's go!"
"ah?"
The assistant looked at Zhou Yilin who looked calm in confusion.
Last second...
He was still sweating profusely, but now he looked like he was fine.
"Remember, don't come into contact with anyone from the "Chinese Directors Association" these days, don't participate in any voting, don't participate in any strikes, directors' strikes, coalitions, etc..."
"Of course, don't offend those people from the Chinese Directors Association. In addition to going on strike, some initiatives still require a symbolic signature..."
"Draw up a case report for appendicitis for me. Just say that I am undergoing surgery. Let's wait and see the limelight first... Remember, I am now the vice president of the Chinese Youth Directors. This must be kept secret and must not be told to anyone.
, let alone take sides, never take sides!”
"By the way, Feng Kai has returned to China, right? Give this document to Feng Kai..."
"..."
Just after Zhou Yilin finished explaining the matter, his cell phone rang.
"Uncle Zhou..."
"Xiao Jiang? What's wrong?"
"Uncle Zhou, I need an investment, can you lend me some money?"
"Um?"
……………………
After returning from Venice, Zhou Yang slept for a long time day and night.
It was the evening of September 17th in the midst of Mimi Lake.
When he got up, he saw the sunset on the horizon.
After going downstairs to eat something, others were still confused.
This is because the jet lag has not reversed and the biological clock is completely messed up.
【Why didn't you go back to the villa?】
Zhou Yang saw a text message on his phone.
Then, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to be "living together" with An Xiao.
He scratched his head, laughed stupidly for a moment, and replied: "Be right back".
After I finished laughing, I quickly replied to the text message with "Oh" and nothing more happened.
"How about the Youth Association develop Xiao Jiang? But he has a special status, and he has a grudge against you, but he doesn't know my current status... In this case, how about getting support funds in other names first, and I will apply for it
Support fund? Will you tell Xiao Jiang the truth after the filming is completed?"
