Wang Shang finally received the approval from Yanjing--
The application to photograph the Forbidden City... was not approved.
Yes, it was not passed because three heads of state opposed it, while other heads of state neither opposed nor supported it.
"It doesn't seem to work..." Wang Shang couldn't help but smile bitterly. He originally wanted to add a gimmick to "Transformers", but now there is no other way. There is also the imitation "Air Force One" stored in the script library.
It's like a movie script like "White House Down", I don't know when it will be filmed.
At this moment, Yang Shou from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television called: "Haha, Xiao Wang, let me tell you the good news. The distribution rights have been obtained! Oh, we have spent a lot of effort on this matter, and we owe you a lot of money.
What a small favor. I hope Mr. Wang will not disappoint us in the future."
"Really?" Wang Shang's reaction was very dull and he didn't show any surprise.
As if aware that Wang Shang's attitude was wrong, Yang Shou raised his voice a few times: "Xiao Wang, I have obtained the distribution rights for you. You must fulfill the promises you made back then!"
"Boss Yang, although you have done a lot and helped a lot with this distribution right, if I hadn't relied on other connections, how would you have been able to get it, so I have to add a few small conditions."
Wang Shang's attitude was surprisingly tough, which made Yang Shou a little surprised. The fact was exactly as Wang Shang said. In addition to their contribution to persuading the director-general to approve the distribution rights, there were other people who helped in the end.
The director was shaken, but he didn't know who it was yet.
"Does this Wang Shang have other connections? Is the rumor that the chief is paying attention to him true?" Thinking about it, I felt a cold sweat.
Finally, he felt that Wang Shang was not something he could control. Yang Shou's tone couldn't help but become more friendly: "What conditions do you need to add?"
Wang Shang had already thought about the conditions and said: "After the distribution rights are obtained, the most important thing is to win the distribution rights in the EU. Boss Yang needs to take care of this. Of course, I will also do my best."
Then the two argued for a while. Perhaps because he felt that Wang Shang also had a background, Yang Shou changed Xiao Wang's title to Mr. Wang and became more polite. Finally, the two discussed the terms of the transaction. Yang Shou coordinated and promoted Tianwang Film and Television
Obtained EU distribution rights.
After the conditions were negotiated, Yang Shou felt that he had not suffered a loss, so he told Wang Shang that West, the EU mission member, had mentioned Wang Shang during the meal some time ago, and reminded him: "I guess your reputation in Europe is not low.
, this may or may not be a breakthrough.”
The next day, Tianwang Film and Television Company finally received the official document from Yanjing authorizing distribution rights.
Finally he got what he wanted. Wang Shang naturally wanted to celebrate grandly and also invited two reporters, Wu Xuemei and Su Qiang, to interview him.
At noon that day, two media newspapers in Magic City reported the same thing: "The Birth of China's Fifteenth Distribution Company-Tianwang Film and Television": After three years, China has finally added a new distribution company.
--Tianwang Film and Television. This means that an obstacle that restrained Tianwang Film and Television has finally been overcome, and it also means that the influence of Tianwang Film and Television is gradually penetrating into the Chinese film industry. At the critical moment when the EU mission is promoting film cooperation between the two sides, Tianwang Film and Television
The company has obtained distribution rights, which means it has obtained a ticket to enter the EU market."
Some people are happy and some are sad. Wang Shang is happy, but naturally some people are very unhappy.
Yanjing, New Art Film Group.
"Bang~~~" There was a sound of a glass breaking.
"Why can he get the distribution rights??" Zhang Weiqiang, the chairman of the company, looked at the shocking headline in the "China Film News" and was extremely angry. New Art Film Group started to apply three years ago. The result
So far, it has not been approved, and the issuance expenses of dividing profits every year make him feel pain.
In the past, everyone worked so hard together, so the mentality was somewhat balanced. But now, there is a guy who just came in and passed the approval at once, which makes him not angry.
Just when Zhang Weiqiang was so angry that he was cursing, the chairman and general manager of more than a dozen other film companies across the country were also so angry that he threw cups and slapped his face.
"unfair!!"
"Shady!!"

After winning the distribution rights, Tianwang Film and Television's long-decided distribution channel expansion plan began immediately, and the distribution channels expanded at a very rapid rate.
Movie releases, movie DVD burning, and online movie sales... Because of the remarkable achievements Tianwang Film and Television has made in recent years, many channel merchants have come to us without having to go to Tianwang Film and Television. In Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, channel expansion is also very rapid.
However, Wang Shang does not need to take care of this. Bi Han has already prepared a team to take charge of this aspect. In addition to this, Tianwang Film and Television Company has officially completed its reorganization and changed its name to Tianwang Film and Television Group.
The news has attracted the attention of many media, but most of them are exploring the assets of Tianwang Film and Television Group. There are also many venture capital companies at home and abroad who want to invest in Tianwang Film and Television, and the lowest valuation they have given is 50 billion yuan in assets.
The highest value reached an estimated value of RMB 80 billion.
If "Transformers" becomes a big hit, the valuation will be even higher.
After these quotes appeared on the Internet, they quickly caused a huge sensation.
I started from scratch in 9 years, and now I am just one step away from becoming a billionaire.
Worship, worship, envy, jealousy...
Some people are even thinking about whether to rob Wang Shang, kidnap him or something...
In addition to venture capital, there are many well-known companies at home and abroad who want to do an IPO and go public for Tianwang Film and Television. Unfortunately, Wang Shang is very determined and does not want to go public at all, which makes many investors sigh with regret.
At this time, low-priced movies such as "If You Are the One" and "On the Road" were still being released across the country. Although they only received hundreds of thousands of box office tickets every week, they effectively stimulated movie-watching in remote areas.
enthusiasm.
And because of the amazing box office longevity of low-priced movies such as "If You Are the One", other film companies have also released low-priced movies in the past six months. Some movies have sold tens of millions or hundreds of millions, making huge profits.
Not long after the movie was released, it was criticized for being slanderous.
But generally speaking, the market for low-priced movies is still very large. Although the ticket price is low, the market is even bigger. If the movie is of excellent quality, it can get very high box office. This also makes many movie companies change their annual movies midway.
Plan to increase small investment in movies.
On June 10, China and the European Union finally signed a film cooperation statement. Based on the fact that the development levels of the film industries of the two sides are not far apart, China and the EU can introduce 60 part-credit films and 60 buy-out films to each other every year.
The release time has also been extended to 40 days.
On the day the statement was signed, Tianwang Film and Television finally signed a distribution agreement with one of the European Union's film company alliances (a coalition of several film companies belonging to different countries). Both parties strive for distribution channels for each other.
Because the other party had more resources than Tianwang Film and Television, and the other party needed an opportunity to become famous, Wang Shang contributed two scripts, "Slumdog Millionaire" and "The Pianist".
"Slumdog Millionaire" is a movie that may win an Oscar. Unfortunately, it reveals too much darkness and is not suitable for filming in China. It is only suitable for places like India and Brazil where there are slums and religious conflicts, so Wang Shang only
I was able to discard it. And "The Pianist" was also very in line with European humanities, so the other party was very satisfied.
When the other party is satisfied, more resources will be given to Wang Shang, a win-win situation.

On June 11, in the parking lot in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Shanghai, an ordinary car was parked there.
Liu Xi held on to the car door tightly: "I have to get out..."
Wang Shang: "Definitely..."
Liu Xi: "Will there be many people watching?"
Wang Shang: "..."
That's right, Wang Shang and Wang Shang are about to serve wine, but they haven't gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for a marriage certificate yet, so...the two came here because of their parents' complaints...
