Chapter 658 Three fires when the new official takes office! Four thousand words chapter
"Chinese films have now entered the fast lane and reached the highest growth rate in the world. Compared with the North American market, which has not made significant progress for many years, it is clear that it will catch up with the North American market and become the world's largest film market in the future.
Target."
Tang An was talking eloquently on the stage. This kind of topic was already familiar to him and could no longer be familiar with it.
Then he agreed with the speeches of several leaders, "However, as Director Han, Director Kang, and Director Wang just said, we cannot rest on our laurels and enjoy ourselves behind closed doors. We must spread our country's culture to the world.
Every corner, this is the mission of our generation of cultural media workers."
As soon as these relatively official words were spoken, Han Sanping and Director Wang of Jingcheng Optoelectronics nodded frequently.
Han Sanping glanced at Kang Pei out of the corner of his eye and saw that he had no reaction, so he shook his head secretly.
Tang An continued to speak.
"If our culture wants to take the initiative to go abroad, we must first let foreign audiences see our movies before they can understand the Chinese culture contained in the movies."
"Every movie contains different cultures. For example, "囧囧" directed by Xu Zheng has promoted the development of national tourism. At the beginning, we also talked with a travel agency about the "囧囧" tourist route.
Because the local government cooperates with the filming locations, it is more convenient for us to communicate with the local government and set the travel route throughout the film."
Everyone knows that "Thailand" has promoted the tourism industry in the country. It is not a little bit. It can even be said to be the peak of the tourism industry in the country in recent years, and the popularity has not dropped much yet.
However, he boasted in this seminar, which made some people scold him.
Tang An then said with some regret, "But because the relevant person in charge was slow to respond, he did not agree to the plan. After the film was released, this person was also dismissed from his position by their company."
"There are many such movies, such as "Ben Ming Nian" directed by Xie Fei. After watching it, I yearned for the Beijing of that era in the work. The quiet life in the bungalows and alleys can only be seen in the images.
Not only in China, but also in South Korea, a TV series "Winter Sonata" that is familiar to Chinese people is the same. When the male and female protagonists are photographed going out for an outing, they will show some famous South Korean attractions such as Jeju Island and Gangwon Province. Jeju Island is now also
Become a famous tourist city in South Korea."
"Through a movie, a city, a country, and a culture can be introduced to the world. Li Xiaolong is called a legend in the United States, and the word "kungfu" appears in the English dictionary.
In addition to the box office, the films of Cheng Long and Li Lianhe have sold more than 10 billion yuan worldwide through genuine video tapes, DVDs, and video on demand channels, and are well known to audiences around the world.
Brag one by one, finish bragging about Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and then brag about Zhang Yimou.
Cheng Long's movies may not be so obvious, more about daring to fight, but several of Li Lianlian's movies are full of strong patriotism and nationalism.
It is undeniable that the two of them were undoubtedly world superstars at their peak.
When Cheng Long was filming "Who Am I" in Rotterdam, he was personally accompanied by the local mayor. When passing by a 21-story building, Cheng Long casually said that the building could be used to shoot the jumping scene.
The mayor said: That building is not open to the public, but if you film it in your movie, I will immediately apply to open it to the crew.
The script that Cheng Long went back to revise completed the pinnacle of his personal film action and became the focus of controversy among many movie fans at home and abroad.
That scene directly caused the local government to close roads and mobilize a large number of police and even the army, which is a testament to Cheng Long's influence.
Some people say that Li Xiaolong makes movies for the lives of his opponents, Cheng Long wants his own reputation for making movies, and Xiao Xianrou costs the lives of the audience for making movies.
That year in "Red Zone", there was no protective measures in the balcony jumping scene, and he became famous instantly.
Spielberg later asked him how he danced in that scene, and Cheng Long said he just danced.
Then Cheng Long asked Spielberg how he made the dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park", and Spielberg said he just kept pressing the keyboard.
There is no doubt that their popularity and influence around the world were at their peak, but not many people remember them now, and some even say that they went to Hollywood to make low-budget movies to make a living.
Everyone who is internationally famous has praised me, and of course I am one of them.
"In previous Hollywood blockbusters, Americans saved the world. Over time, audiences around the world have become accustomed to this plot, while movies from other countries are not popular around the world, which leads to the same plot.
You will get different feedback.
Let me give you an example. When "Edge of Tomorrow" was released overseas, it was constantly questioned because it was us Chinese who saved the world. "Wolf Warrior" was released on a large scale overseas a few days ago. Wu Jing spelled out "Chinese"
However, when "Wolf Warrior" was released abroad, many foreigners said: Chinese people are not so powerful, right?
This is the power of movies. It subtly affects our thinking. Even our domestic audiences have a lot of doubts about "Wolf Warrior"'s excessive display of personal heroism and its lack of "reality".
But when a Hollywood blockbuster with the same personal hero is released in China, these audiences will naturally ignore the "reality" and instead become addicted to it.
This is the responsibility of us filmmakers. The cultural industry is an invisible war, and we failed to defend our position."
Tang An said with a slightly helpless tone the current situation that everyone knew.
"but!"
Changing his tone, Tang An looked serious, "Now that our country's film industry is becoming more and more mature, it's time to fully go abroad. I know that "Wolf Warrior" will not be a big hit abroad, and it still costs a lot of money.
At a cost, this movie has been released on a large scale in more than 60 countries and regions around the world!"
"Even if it only lasts the first weekend and then most of the film schedule is cut off due to attendance issues, it is still worth it. At least the first week has attracted some audiences from all over the world to the cinema. No matter how small the number is, it is still worth it.
.”
"If one movie doesn't work, then ten, a hundred, or a thousand. If you don't make small steps, you won't reach a thousand miles. It took Hollywood thousands of movies and more than ten years to make our country's audience accept the idea of Americans saving the world."
Behavior!"
"This is the responsibility of our contemporary filmmakers and the goal we strive for throughout our lives. North American Kailu Pictures, a subsidiary of Hantang Media, will be committed to distributing domestic films to North America, not only in theaters, but also on DVDs and TV on demand.
Online on-demand and other channels.”
"Wanda Group has acquired AMC Cinemas, and more domestic films will be launched in mainstream cinemas around the world. I believe we are not the first batch, and more filmmakers will invest in this cause in the future!"
"Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah"
Tang An's hand holding the microphone slowly moved downwards, then dropped naturally, holding the microphone tightly.
With a determined, passionate face, he looked sincerely at the audience, looking at the hundreds of film workers, reporters, and photographers in the audience.
The applause of hundreds of people gathered together, enough to drown out all sounds.
The atmosphere in the huge screening room reached a climax, and several leaders on the podium also applauded vigorously.
"Tang An said it well. I used to think that he was just a stinky director who would only shoot things without meaning."
"This is the drive that young people should have!"
"Oh, why is the domestic market like this now? My eldest grandson bought a lot of toys after watching "Transformers", tied a sheet around his neck after watching "Superman", and once watched something like that "Captain America", come back and throw the pot lid around."
Some of the older generation were deeply moved by the movie, and some of the younger ones were very excited, but most of them were excited on the surface and had no emotions in their hearts.
He is not a young man in his early twenties, so he can be easily moved.
A large part of the reason for the eighteen Arhats that Ma Yun deceived back then was that those eighteen people were young. If they were in their thirties or forties, if Ma Yun tried to deceive them again, he would definitely get spit on his face.
But I have to admit that these words were well said, otherwise the applause this time would not have been much warmer than before.
However, after the first round of negotiations with Legend Entertainment ended, Ye Nian, who had returned to the capital, was secretly complaining.
"I just said it myself, bring Wanda with you. If domestic films are released in North America and are not listed in mainstream theaters, then it cannot be said that Wanda does not support domestic films."
Insidious and cunning.
Ye Xuan gave Tang Anduo another label in his heart.
The meeting will continue, and then Kangpei announced several new laws and regulations, involving various industries of film and television culture.
"Copyright Law Implementation Regulations."
"Regulations on the Protection of Information Network Communication Rights."
"Notice of the National Film Funding Office on the review of applications for special film funds for new theaters to be collected first and then returned."
“Supplementary Notice from the State Film Special Fund Office on (Notice on Subsidies for Installing Chinese Giant Screen Projection Equipment in Cinemas).”
"Supplementary notice on the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Computerized Ticket Sales in Theater Company Cinemas"."
"Guiding Opinions on Financial Support for the Revitalization, Development and Prosperity of Cultural Industries."
"Notice of the General Office of the State Council on the issuance of two regulations on the transformation of commercial cultural institutions into enterprises and further support for the development of cultural enterprises in the reform of the cultural system!"
There are supplements and new ones. There are subsidies for theaters to install Chinese giant screens. Compared with the imax screen itself, it is much cheaper. Subsidies are also given, and there is no need to pay a large amount of copyright fees every year.
It is foreseeable that starting from the second half of the year, new theaters and theaters that are already in operation will be replaced with Chinese giant screens on a large scale.
That’s double the fare, no fool would change it!
There are also subsidies for new theaters, and the state is constantly promoting the film market.
The notice to strengthen theater ticket sales management is probably a warning against box office fraud.
The notification of the financial industry supporting the cultural industry is also inevitable and can promote the development of the market, as long as it is legal.
There are also film and television-related public institutions that have been reformed into enterprises. It is inevitable that some of them will be acquired by large companies or acquired by capital.
In any industry, you must keep in mind the changes in laws and regulations, and keep up with changes in various trends in external channels, otherwise you will be left behind.
The meeting passed with constant speeches, and Tang An was also looking for some useful information from these articles.
After the general meeting, there will be a small meeting.
Compared with that conference, the following small meeting with less than twenty people participating was the real focus.
Power is always in the hands of a few people!
Kang Peihe and a director represented the film bureau, while Han Sanping and current China Film Vice Chairman Jiao Canfen, current China Film Co., Ltd. Vice Chairman Han Xiaoli, and Moying Group Ren Zhonglun represented state-owned enterprises.
Ten people including Tang An, Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Qin Hong, Ye Nian, Zhang Zhao, Li Ming, Fan Luyuan and Ren Yuse represented the production and distribution company.
Ah, it makes sense for Li to come, after all, it has produced three movies this year, and it is still an Internet giant.
Why did Tengxun get involved? Since its establishment, it has only been engaged in animation, web dramas, and web dramas. It has not even made a single movie or TV series.
As for theater companies, Hantang and Wanda are two of the top ten in the country, as are China Film and Movie Films.
After a few pleasantries, we started directly.
This small gathering just started last year, and this is the second time we have gathered together like this.
There are more and more big companies, and Internet giants have come in. Let’s meet and talk first.
In fact, no matter what special circumstances, we just go through the process, coordinate the next schedule, arrange the film and so on.
But everything has variables, and this is not certain.
The rise of guaranteed issuance this year has disrupted many plans.
"Judging from the first half of this year, the domestic market has reached another big step. With this momentum, it is only a matter of time before it surpasses North America and becomes the world's largest film market."
Kang Pei said some more topical remarks, then changed the subject and went straight to the point.
"Beyond North America, we need everyone here to work together to avoid unnecessary competition, which will lead to lose-lose situations. I think the blockbusters released by everyone in the future can be discussed together and not bump into each other. There will always be a suitable one 12 months a year.
It’s the schedule.”
Kang Pei said with a slight smile and glanced at everyone, "What do you think?"
Before he finished speaking, everyone frowned slightly.
This seems to be a bit different from last year. Although last year it was discussed, but for example, there were films from the Han and Tang Dynasties that collided with Huayi, and they were all of the same genre, so let's discuss it.
But usually the movies that need to be negotiated are large and medium-sized investments, and they are aimed at popular schedules. If there is no way to negotiate, no one will let it go.
But in this tone, we still put it out there for discussion.
Is it possible that everyone throws out all the movies and lets you arrange them?
There are three things that a new official should do when he takes office. Unexpectedly, in just half a year, the first thing is ready to be started.
wrong.
Tang An then thought about it, no matter how lustful he was for power, he couldn't be arrogant enough to manipulate major companies.
Without wasting any more time, Tang An's mind was racing, and there were only a few possibilities left for Kang Pei to do this.
