Chapter 692 To apologize to the people of the whole country
The symposium went on calmly.
Unlike when it was confirmed that Kang Pei would succeed Han Sanping as chairman of China Film Co., Ltd., an internal meeting was the same.
At the beginning, everyone was on the same level. They were all CEOs of several top companies in the domestic entertainment industry. They competed with each other and had constant friction. The words spoken at the meeting were somewhat inconsistent.
But now, half of the people present are middle-level people in various ministries and commissions. Although they are not publicity mouths, they have a lot to do with the entertainment industry.
Vice Chairman Chang Wei of the National People's Congress was also present in person, and no one from the deputy national level dared to speak nonsense.
Moreover, this was a semi-public meeting. There were dedicated people recording the meeting and some people were filming it.
The process can no longer be official. Mei had to carefully consider every word she said, and she always smiled from beginning to end.
The boss first summarized some of the main regulations of the Film Industry Promotion Law, and then each spoke.
The most important thing about this film industry promotion law is about film censorship.
It stipulates that the film administrative department of the State Council shall formulate and improve specific standards and procedures for film review and announce them to the public.
Standards should be formulated to openly solicit opinions from the public and organize experts to conduct demonstrations. The regulations closely follow the concerns of the industry and society and contribute to the scientific and consistent management of film content. In terms of administrative power constraints, not only the regulatory responsibilities are clarified, but also regulations are formulated
disciplinary measures were taken.
In the past, censorship of movies was just censorship. They would not tell you where there was a problem, and they would make the cuts themselves.
It’s just that some people with high energy know what the problem is.
Now the Film Promotion Law requires the disclosure of censorship standards, which means specific red lines will be marked for you.
But it will definitely not have much effect. If this is the case, the power of the review committee will be greatly reduced.
And the published standards will certainly not be too detailed, such as requiring no pornography, but I won’t tell you the specific standards.
But it’s somewhat useful, and it’s better than before?
Representatives of various ministries and commissions, Kang Pei and Fu Ruoqing, spoke one by one.
It's Tang An's turn, "Under the dual effects of economic globalization and the rapid development of the Internet industry, Chinese films, which have gone through ups and downs, are facing the most complex and critical development period in a century, with unprecedented opportunities and endless challenges.
The timely introduction of the Film Industry Promotion Law will encourage Chinese filmmakers to unite and standardize the film industry. When the industry is developing at a rapid pace, it will enable the Chinese film train to move quickly and steadily..."
In a normal scene, the meeting is just a formality. It would be foolish to put forward any opinions and suggestions that are outside of the Film Promotion Law at this time.
I don’t know how many similar meetings were held in Tang An. Some were organized by the Xuanxun Ministry, and some were led by the Congress and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.
There won't be anything substantive, and it won't be their turn to have a meeting.
After the symposium, the bosses and representatives from various ministries and commissions left. The two principals, screenwriter representative Liu Zhenyun and actor representative Xu Fan said hello and left.
There were only nine people left at the scene: Kang Pei, Fu Ruoqing, Tang An, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, Yu Dong, Fan Luyuan, Ye Nian and Huang Jianxin.
After being silent for less than two seconds, Kang Pei laughed and said, "Boss, I just took office this month. I hope you can help me more in the future."
"It must be true, Director Kang is serious."
"Everyone helps each other, all for the sake of Chinese movies."
Everyone was talking with smiles.
Kang Peidao said, "The Spring Festival is about to start. Basically, everyone here has a movie released. This year, the country has promulgated the Film Industry Promotion Law. Wade is to make our country's film industry develop more harmoniously and stably, so the next Spring Festival
The same goes for me. Everyone should compete fairly. Don’t hurt the harmony by competing for the box office, and don’t affect the overall market..."
Maybe it was because the big boss was here just now, Kang Pei didn't have enough to say, so now he started talking in the same way.
Tang An shook his head secretly. The bureaucracy in Kangpei was much worse than that in Han Sanping. He really thought this was a meeting with his subordinates, and all he said was some meaningless, high-sounding words.
When the competition really gets fierce, it's strange that Kangpei can only compete with others in order to have a smooth start.
When China Film Group Corporation's six major theater chains are showing off, it's better not to arrange films fairly based on attendance, but rather to not buy box office tickets.
Everyone didn't take it seriously. Who is not the CEO of a large company? It's okay for the top leaders to show off. Why do you, Kang Pei, use the official tone?
Especially Wang Zhongjun, Huayi's market value is close to 40 billion, which is not a small number in any industry. Now Wang Zhongjun is even more satisfied.
And because the Spring Festival Gala is getting worse year by year, the leader of the Xuan Yun Department, who is also the director of CCTV, named Feng Xiaogang as the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala. This is the only thing a scorpion can do.
Moreover, the actor representative for this symposium is Xu Fan. Obviously, because she is Feng Xiaogang's wife, she came on his behalf because Feng Xiaogang was busy with the Spring Festival Gala.
No business can be done without the support of the government, especially the corresponding departments. As long as Feng Xiaogang manages the Spring Festival Gala and the leaders of the Xuanxun Department are satisfied, and even the top leaders above are satisfied, it will be better for Huayi than a movie.
Movies still have their uses.
Kang Pei was speaking in official style, and everyone was coping with it.
Tang An chuckled and said, "Only river crabs can develop together. Director Kang is right. So Mr. Ye and Director Kang please don't favor one over the other when it comes to arranging films."
The first-day schedules of several Spring Festival movies have basically been confirmed, with "Havoc in Heaven" accounting for the highest 32%, followed by "Omen" with 25%, and then "Where Are We Going, Dad" and "The Return of the Great Sage" accounting for 20% each?
%,16%.
As the most popular movie during the Spring Festival, with the strongest lineup and the highest pre-sales, "Havoc in Heaven" undoubtedly occupies the highest ranking.
It’s not surprising that “Omen” ranks second. “Where Are We Going, Dad?” is a movie version of a phenomenal variety show, and is very suitable for family fun, and the pre-sales are not low.
The film schedule is quite reasonable, but the theater chains related to the major distributors will be somewhat biased towards their own.
Tang An also did not ask Wuzhou Distribution and the other five theaters to schedule "The Return of the Great Sage" at 70 or 80 points, and they all scheduled the movies normally.
Judging from the current pre-sales on the first day, it is impossible to reach the box office of 40 million.
On the second and third days, the film schedule will be increased on a large scale. In this way, when the reputation is very good, if the audience sees the box office soaring compared to the first day, it will further stimulate the audience's desire to welcome it.
When the time comes, we will see more than 40 million on the first day, 60 to 70 million on the second day, and nearly 100 million on the third day. Coupled with the high reputation, audiences who did not pay attention to this movie will not be able to help but go to the cinema.
check it out.
Even if the trends of other movies are relatively stable, they will become nothing compared to the soaring momentum of "The Return of the Monkey King".
Tang An is referring to the film schedule after the release. Once word of mouth explodes, no matter how many films are scheduled, it can be digested.
However, in Kangpei, Ye Nian and Wang Zhongjun heard that Tang An was dissatisfied with "The Return of the Great Sage", a 3D blockbuster with an investment of 100 million, which only received 16% of the film schedule.
Tang An was unhappy, but Kang Pei was happy. He immediately laughed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Tang, the film schedule must be based on market feedback. We can't just care about ourselves. Pre-sales reflect the popularity of the movie, which is mainly based on pre-sales."
For sale mainly.”
Ye Xuan adjusted his glasses and said, "Theaters should arrange films strictly according to the audience's preferences. The audience can arrange whatever they want to see."
What you say is better than what you sing. Let's see if you still remember what you said now.
Tang An said, "What you two are saying is that the Spring Festival stalls will start soon. I hope this year's Spring Festival stalls can surpass last year's record and make a good start for 2014."
Wang Zhongjun laughed and said, "Last year there was a Journey to the West themed movie "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" which was a box office hit. This year there are two more Journey to the West themed movies. I don't know which one can reach last year's box office."
It's none of your business. Huayi is not involved in the Spring Festival, so there is so much talk.
Tang An glanced at him, "I think Director Wang should be concerned about the situation of the Spring Festival Gala now. After all, the leaders have high expectations this year. If such an important thing is not done well, he will have to apologize to the people of the whole country."
Tang An accidentally said another "famous saying" and blurted it out. He didn't know why he remembered this sentence.
Apologize?
Wang Zhongjun's face looked a little ugly. Tang An was not cursing his mother. If Feng Xiaogang messed up and made the boss unhappy, it would really be the end of the world.
As for apologizing to the people of the whole country...what a big deal, I haven't been scolded for the Spring Festival Gala before.
Besides, apologizing is not a big deal. In ancient times, emperors even issued edicts to offend themselves.
Wang Zhongjun is not worried that Feng Xiaogang will mess around, and he is not stupid.
Moreover, all the program content of the Spring Festival Gala has been reviewed by the leaders, so there will be no problems.
But isn't it about the Spring Festival? Why did Tang An get the topic askew again?
