Chapter 311 The twists and turns of the issuance right
April 31st, evening.
Yanjing, Grand Hyatt Oriental Hotel.
Today, as usual, the hotel has welcomed a group of important figures from the political and business circles.
"Mr. West, we have to have a good drink tonight." Zhao Jiangshan led a foreigner into the hotel at a leisurely pace, chatting and laughing happily.
West is as strong as a European, so his body is not shorter than the tall Zhao Jiangshan. Today is probably going well, so he seems to be bold and generous when he speaks: "Haha, of course I have to have a drink and pay tribute to our friendship.
, here’s to a successful career.”
"Yes, respect friendship and career." Zhao Jiangshan laughed.
From generals to generals and subordinates to subordinates, the group of people each found someone to chat with, and walked into the magnificent hall in a harmonious and happy atmosphere.
After drinking for three rounds, West finally talked about this mission again: "Mr. Zhao, I think it is not enough to open 40 accounts and 50 buyout films, so I hope you can discuss and add more
A little more. Our EU side will naturally not be less than China's."
Zhao Jiangshan raised his glass and said calmly: "Mr. West, 40 partial accounts and 50 buyout films are already pretty good. Think about it, the ones in the United States are even less than what you get."
"That's different." West waved his hands repeatedly, "North American movies are too aggressive and harmful to local movies, so they should be restricted. EU movies are different, just like Chinese movies, they are beneficial to both the EU and China.
cultural exchange.”
Zhao Jiangshan listened, curled his lips secretly, and said to himself: "Just try to fool him, the aggressiveness is the same in every movie..."
Seeing that Zhao Jiangshan was unmoved, West put forward another condition: "I hope that the release date restriction on movies can be lifted. 30 days is far from enough to tap a movie's box office potential."
Zhao Jiangshan thought for a while and found that it would not be a big deal to lift the release date restriction, so he said: "There should be no problem, Mr. West, please don't worry. I will report this matter to the leader. Now, let's talk about distribution."
It’s a matter of cooperation.”
"Release? Okay." West nodded. This is also one of his tasks. He must make results and show them to his superiors. This way, his ass, which is not yet hot, can sit firmly.
"We currently have a total of 14 film companies in China with distribution qualifications. The first is China Film Group, which manages 30% of all imported blockbusters in the United States. Other more mature distribution channels include Datang International, Huayi, and Chenghe.
They all have experience in introducing foreign films, and they also have distribution channels and experience in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. As for the remaining 10 companies, they are still a little behind in terms of experience and channels."
Zhao Jiangshan is telling the truth. In his eyes, these film distribution companies are naturally the most suitable to cooperate with the EU and are also in the best interest.
"Mr. Wang heard that there is a film company. Does it have distribution rights?" West suddenly asked.
"Mr. Wang? Which Mr. Wang??"
"That's Mr. Wang from "The Fast and the Furious"!" West's eyes are very bright and serious. West is from England in the European Union, so he is very impressed by the movie "The Fast and the Furious" that was filmed in England.
Moreover, the "Fast and Furious" series has a very high box office and is very good-looking, so he was very impressed by Wang Shang. Before going to China as an ambassador, he specifically checked Wang Shang's information.
""Fast and Furious"...Mr. Wang...you are talking about Mr. Wang Shang, the director of "Apocalypse" and "Transformers", right?"
"Yes, that's him!!" West slapped his thigh. Then he looked at Zhao Jiangshan with an inquiring gaze, "Does his company have distribution rights? I heard that his company is quite powerful."
"His company is called Tianwang Film and Television. Although it has only been established for less than nine years, it is still quite large and its assets are growing rapidly every year. He is also a very talented person, but unfortunately, it has not been released yet.
Rights." Zhao Jiangshan personally still has a good impression of Wang Shangting, and he also saw that the application for the distribution rights of Tianwang Film and Television has been submitted to his desk, waiting for his final approval.
Unfortunately, Zhao Jiangshan was still a little hesitant about whether to agree to the review and approval. At this critical moment in the negotiations with the EU mission, some subordinates were making suggestions that they would not review them for the time being, and then reconsider after the EU mission left. These subordinates sometimes
It also represents the interests of major film companies, so Zhao Jiangshan had to consider it carefully.
"Oh, that's such a pity..." West said disappointedly.
When West and Zhao Jiangshan were talking about Tianwang Film and Television Company, the other accompanying film company directors and radio, film and television bureau executives, although they did not show it on the surface, listened carefully. At this moment, everyone stopped picking up food.
, toast.
And Yang Shou's heartbeat was even faster. During this time, he was contacting other people to propose to Zhao Jiangshan to open the distribution rights to Tianwang Film and Television Company. What he didn't expect was that their joint proposals had little effect, and his heart was almost dying.
.This is related to special effects and 3D technology. The cooked duck is about to fly away, and the flesh hurts~~~
Seeing that the EU envoy mentioned Wang Shang this time, Yang Shou's heart beat even harder, and he thought to himself: "This Wang Shang is so powerful and can talk through the EU envoy. This may be a turning point."
Unfortunately, Zhao Jiangshan did not seem to be loosened up, and the foreign envoy did not continue to pester, leaving Yang Shou disappointed.
Some people were worried, while others were happy. After seeing that the EU envoys no longer bothered Wang Shang, a few people breathed a sigh of relief, then relaxed and started to toast each other.
————————————
Yanjing, a certain high-end community, a certain villa, the Spring Festival Gala organizing and planning team.
The Spring Festival Gala organizing and planning group is not the directing group of the Spring Festival Gala, but the group that selects directors. Its existence has always been relatively mysterious and low-key, and only some people know that such a group exists.
A car drove towards the villa from the dense path of the forest. Sitting behind the car was an old man wearing thick reading glasses. This old man was obviously the old man Yang Shou had met in a small courtyard.
He is Yang Shou's master.
The car entered the villa, the old man got out of the car and walked slowly into the hall. At this time, other people in the hall came out. All of these people were about forty to sixty years old, and any one of them outside had a very special look.
Big influence.
"Team leader, drink some water." A man poured a glass of water and handed it to the old man.
Everyone looked at the old man eagerly.
The old man did not whet his appetite and said directly: "The leader did not agree with the plan we made."
"You don't agree to the plan?" Others couldn't help but feel discouraged.
At this time, the old man said again: "By the way, the leader also gave a reminder, saying that it is better to use the old directors of the Spring Festival Gala as much as possible. Other directors can join, but not too many. They cannot be the chief director. Those Chen Kaige, Xu Ke, Li Chengshu
, Wang Shang and others, the leader agrees that they can be given the status of deputy directors, but the number cannot exceed three."
The Spring Festival Gala plan was rejected, and the Spring Festival Gala organizing and planning team became busy again.
Wang Shang, who was directing "Transformers", soon received a call transferred by his secretary.
"Invite me to be the deputy director of the Spring Festival Gala? This is really embarrassing. You also know that I am directing "Transformers" now. So I may not have time to participate, so I will not delay the preparations for the Spring Festival Gala. Please forgive me."
Wang Shang refused directly and neatly.
After Wang Shang hung up the phone, Zhou Jianguo on the other side of the phone couldn't help but be stunned.
He also admired Wang Shang, a young man, and also liked Wang Shang's movies. Naturally, he very much hoped that Wang Shang could be a director in the Spring Festival Gala. So he called Wang Shang immediately, but he didn't expect that Wang Shang didn't cherish this opportunity.
Rare opportunity.
It’s incredible!!
"Is it because he doesn't know the benefits of being the director of the Spring Festival Gala? Do you want to remind him again??" Zhou Jianguo hesitated, and finally put down the phone, and then said to others, "Wang Shang said he wanted to make "Transformers", so
I won’t attend the Spring Festival Gala.”
When the others heard this, they were stunned, and the whole hall fell silent.
Everyone had mixed expressions, ranging from disdain to admiration to ridicule.
Other film and television directors such as Xu Ke, Chen Kaige, Du Qifeng, Zheng Long, Li Chengshu and others were all very happy when they received calls from the Spring Festival Gala organizing and planning team. One director was even so excited that he cried.
When I arrived at Wang Shang's place, not only was I not overjoyed or overwhelmed with gratitude, I actually refused outright!!!
Is this looking down upon the Spring Festival Gala?
Is this looking down on us?
How arrogant!
I really don’t know how high the sky is!
Some team members were sullen.
Naturally, Wang Shang didn't know that his mere refusal had offended many seniors. If he had known, he would probably have been conceited before refusing. It was an unreasonable disaster.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Shang returned to the director's seat and sat down, watching Michael direct.
The position of director is very particular, because on the set, if you sit in different positions, you will have different angles and see different things.
The movie director's seat has a wider perspective and a wider control of the situation. However, this also requires the director sitting in this position to have a clear enough mind to grasp the direction of the plot, the picture, the actors' performances, and even
Have a clear understanding of various factors such as lighting, positioning, and viewing angles.
"NG!! Come again!!"
"Wang Song (protagonist)!! You haven't had enough to eat!! Run faster and be more nervous!!!"
"NG!!!"
"You have to be embarrassed!! You have to run around!! Also, you have to run according to the drawn route!!"
Michael shouted at the top of his voice and shouted into the speaker.
And Hu Bugui (the protagonist Wang Song) was as tired as a toad at this time, lying on the front cover and refusing to move, his tongue was gasping for air.
It must be said that Michael Bay's blasting and chasing techniques are among the best in the world. Wang Shang learned a lot from observing his directing process.
After thinking about it, Wang Shang said to Michael Bay: "I have thought about it clearly. You will be the one to direct the filming of "Transformers 2"."
Michael was surprised: "Really?"
During this time, he has fallen in love with "Transformers".
Wang Shang smiled: "Of course it's true! I've already contacted the military. I'm the producer. Except for some confidential things that you can't shoot, everything else is up to you."
