Therefore, the news of Wu Jianye's meeting with Ai Be and the content of the conversation spread quickly. Some pure filmmakers outside the agency were very envious of Wu Jianye's ability to directly meet Ai Be and discuss issues.
Some people within the organization, as well as people from China Film and Television Studios, got a lot of ideas from the chat between Wu Jianye and Ai Bu.
When you reach Aibe's position, it is impossible for you to change your mind by a director's words, but you can find useful opinions for yourself in these conversations and use them.
For example, what Wu Jianye said is, don't simply and roughly brush aside China Film.
After China Film heard about this, it was relatively satisfied. After all, many studios are now clamoring for China Film to give up the right to travel.
As for the studios, Wu Jianye's remarks are actually beneficial to them, that is, Wu Jianye at least put forward an opinion on reforming the existing system, which is already a very big progress.
Therefore, Wu Jianye's words not only received excellent impression points from Aibu, but also received a lot of impression points from China Film and the studio.
.......
"Senior brother, let me worship you today!"
Today Wu Jianye came to China Film Studio and found Liu Jianshe. Naturally, he came here for Xiying Film Studio's "The King of Children".
After Liu Jianshe met Wu Jianye, he laughed and said: "You are so old, but you are still not in full shape."
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "How old are you? You are also my senior brother!"
"Come on, you are not going to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, and with this attitude, you are definitely up to no good!" Liu Jianshe didn't follow Wu Jianye's tactics at all.
"Tell me, why did this happen? But let's agree in advance. If you can help me with this matter, I will naturally help you. If you can't help me, don't say that I, my senior brother, don't share the same kinship!"
"Hey, this is just a small matter, just a word from you, senior brother!" Wu Jianye said with a smile, and then handed Liu Jianshe a cigarette.
After Liu Jianshe lit his cigarette, he smiled and said, "You can talk directly to Bu Ai and Bu Zhao. How can it be a trivial matter?"
"It's such a small thing." Wu Jianye said confidently.
"Say it."
"Actually, it's like this. Isn't our China Film Festival about to hold the first Chinese Film Festival? I have a good movie that I recommend to my senior brother. I hope that my senior brother can put this film in the film festival!"
"So that's the thing, that's no problem." Liu Jianshe nodded indifferently, and then asked curiously: "No, your company doesn't seem to have any plans to shoot a movie recently. Which one are you talking about?"
ah?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Actually, it is also a movie made by our fellow disciples, Chen Kaige, you know, he is a director from Class 78. Didn't he make a movie "The King of Children" last year? This movie was made in our hall
The post-production of the cultural work has now been completed. I have seen it and it is really good, but I heard that I did not make it in time for the registration time for this film festival..."
Liu Jianshe's expression gradually became serious and asked: "When did you have a relationship with Xiying Film Studio? Haven't you always had a good cooperation with Yan Film Studio?"
"Don't worry about this movie. You must also know the reason for this. Some people in the company don't like some of Wu Tianming's practices, so they thought of taking this opportunity..."
Liu Jianshe didn't say the rest, but Wu Jianye also knew what it meant.
However, since Wu Tianming and Chen Kaige have been agreed to, this matter still needs to be worked hard.
"Senior brother, fists are most intimidating only when they are not punched. Once punched, no matter how powerful it is, others will no longer be afraid. China Film Shows its fists and accumulates power. I believe that producers across the country
No one in the studio would be willing to be the first to be beaten. China Film's majesty has been established invisibly. However, if China Film takes action against Xi Film Studio, no matter how ruthless the method is, in the heart of the studio,
China Film Academy is just like this, others have lost their fear, and this move is really inferior...This is just my humble knowledge, junior brother, and it makes senior brother laugh!"
Liu Jianshe listened quietly to Wu Jianye's words, a strange color gradually appeared in his eyes, and suddenly laughed loudly and said: "I finally understand why so many big shots like you. But if we don't do anything, those who control
Aren’t the studios even more unscrupulous?”
Wu Jianye sighed, knowing that it would not be so easy to convince, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, how can things be so simple? Besides, even if China Film does not allow Xiying Studio to participate in this film festival this time, Xiying Studio
There is nothing we can do over there.”
Liu Jianshe looked slightly stunned and asked: "We won't let them participate, what else can they do?"
Wu Jianye said: "When the time comes, Xi Film Studio will make its own brand, find one or two familiar studios, and borrow their booths, and it will still have the effect of publicity. When the time comes, China Film Studio will also
If we can send people to drive them out, wouldn’t it be a joke for foreigners?”
"But if China Film allows this film to participate in the film festival, then the problem will be different. This will not only show China Film's big heart, but also create some deterrent effect to other studios. Now the studio and China Film have no screening rights.
Things are already tense, and by doing this, China Film can also release some goodwill to the studio. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
After Liu Jianshe listened, he suddenly asked: "I know your conversation in Aibu. I would like to ask, what do you think of China Film's future development?"
Wu Jianye was slightly startled: "Brother, I shouldn't talk about this kind of thing, right?"
Liu Jianshe smiled and said: "Don't worry, today is a conversation between you and my senior brother. No third person will know about it outside this door."
I believed you as a ghost......
However, Wu Jianye still smiled and said: "Actually, it's very simple. Previously, China Film was only responsible for screening, so after jointly making requests to the studios, it seemed a bit stretched. So in this case, why not China Film personally invest in the filming?
What about movies? As for the regulations, I think China Film should also have a way to solve them, right?"
Liu Jianshe's eyes lit up. China Film Group had been struggling with the screening of movies before, but it had ignored the fundamentals of movies. The fundamentals of movies are the movies themselves.
If China Film could shoot its own movies, then many things would be solved.
"Like the original "The Last Emperor"?" Liu Jianshe asked.
"Absolutely, but "The Last Emperor" was originally an investment by China Film. In fact, China Film can also use its own good directors to shoot films that belong to China Film's copyright. I think that will also be a good choice for China Film in the future."
In fact, even if Wu Jianye doesn't mention it, after China Film went through reforms, it also has its own films invested in and shot.
Now Wu Jianye just announced China Film's future decisions in advance.
"But if this is the case, will China Film lose its uniqueness?" Liu Jianshe continued to ask.
Wu Jianye explained: "How could it be? Brother, you think that with the progress of reform and opening up, the country's regulations on the introduction of overseas films will definitely become more relaxed. By then, China Film will have its own distribution network and be responsible for the distribution of overseas films.
And China Film’s special identity...”
Needless to say, Liu Jianshe already understood what Wu Jianye meant.
"Junior brother, I can help you discuss this with the general manager, but senior brother has a favor here, do you have to help me too?" Liu Jianshe said with a smile.
Wu Jianye was slightly stunned. It seemed that he had dug a hole for himself.
"Senior brother, you said that as long as this matter is within the scope of my ability, I will definitely not even blink an eye!" Wu Jianye took the lead in preparing a way out for himself.
"Haha, don't worry, it must be a matter of your words." Liu Jianshe laughed first, and then continued: "Look at our previous cooperation on the movie "The Last Emperor", which has always been going very well. Now that you
You have pointed out a good path for us at China Film. Can we continue to cooperate with you on the next film "New Dragon Gate Inn"?"
Wu Jianye smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, that's not what you said. The filming of "New Dragon Inn" was funded by Fengge Entertainment and Tangting Culture, and also had the cooperation of Xiaoying Factory. If you rashly join China Film, even if I agree, Feng
The shareholders of Song Entertainment will definitely also have opinions."
Liu Jianshe smiled and said: "Don't worry, our participation in this matter is not in vain. I can introduce you to some CEOs of provincial and municipal companies! What do you think of this condition?"
Wu Jianye showed an expression of surprise. What is the biggest conflict between China Film and the studio? It is OK. Now China Film is willing to introduce the bosses of provincial and municipal projection companies to him. This is... heaven
What a waste.
"Brother, this is no joke." Wu Jianye said seriously.
"I know what you are worried about. In fact, film reform has been a general trend for a long time. Even if it is not now, there will definitely be action in the next few years. In this case, we at China Film are also willing to make some attempts, but there are still
One condition."
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I knew it would be impossible for such a good thing to happen. Please tell me what conditions you have, senior brother, in one go."
Liu Jianshe smiled and said: "For this cooperation, China Film requires full involvement in the overseas business of "New Dragon Inn"..."
"This won't work!" Wu Jianye said immediately.
"Don't worry, just listen to what I have to say. China Film's intervention is not a request to have a say in overseas release, but an opportunity to learn. As you said, if overseas films want to enter the domestic market, they need to go through China Film.
Although China Film now has an input and output company, you know that even now, in the international market, China Film has no reliable partners. Many times it is the foreigners who say how much money they pay.
Understand the rules of overseas markets.”
"This time I have people following you, one is to shut up those who have complaints, and the other is that China Film also wants to see what is going on in overseas capital operations." Liu Jianshe explained.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Brother, I'm afraid there is also a problem of supervising the flow of funds, right?"
"Haha, you are a good comrade when you see things through but don't tell them!" Liu Jianshe said with a smile.
Wu Jianye thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I can make the decision on this matter!"
There is really no harm to Wu Jianye from China Film's joining. Just the fact that China Film helps Wu Jianye introduce domestic provincial and municipal projection companies is enough to make Wu Jianye tempted.
The real reform of the domestic film market will actually take place in 1993. At that time, private capital will be officially allowed to enter the domestic film industry. If Wu Jianye can rely on the cooperation with the provincial and municipal industries in recent years.
The screening company got in touch, and by 1993, they could rely on this relationship to form their own theater chain.
It was against this background that the first theater chain in China, ‘Yangzi Cinema Line’, was established.
As for China Film's participation in the overseas tour of "New Dragon Inn", there is no problem for Wu Jianye. As Liu Jianshe said, China Film is just going to learn from experience, and Wu Jianye has never thought about winning at the box office.
Playing tricks, this is a good choice for both Wu Jianye and China Film.
And Wu Jianye also saw another advantage in Liu Jianshe, that is, far-sightedness. In fact, many people say that people in this era lack long-term vision. It is just that the world they are exposed to is not big enough. If they can
Let them see the whole world, and their vision will not be a problem.
Of course, there must be a lot of old-fashioned people out there, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
After coming out of China Film Academy, Wu Jianye returned directly to Tangting Culture.
Chen Kaige had been waiting there early.
"how's it going?"
After seeing Wu Jianye, Chen Kaige asked with some anxiety.
"Call Director Wu, there should be no problem!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
"Awesome!" Chen Kaige happily waved his fist.
Then Chen Kaige solemnly thanked Wu Jianye: "Old Wu, thank you this time!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Then Chen Kaige excitedly picked up the phone in Wu Jianye's office and called Wu Tianming to explain the matter clearly. Wu Tianming thanked him profusely after hearing this.
A few days later, news came from Jiang Xi that Director Xie Jin and the Shanghai Film Studio had indeed great influence, and the matter of "Furong Town" participating in the film festival had been approved.
The film has also been qualified for national screening, and director Xie Jin has decided to hold a screening in Shanghai!
Hearing this news, Wu Jianye also lamented that although the number of moviegoers in the domestic film industry has been declining year by year, the development of the film industry is slowly advancing. If it were not for the rampant bad films and repeated systems in the following years, the domestic film industry would
There will be no detours.
Pity!
Then Director Xie Jin also invited Wu Jianye to attend the screening in Shanghai. Wu Jianye thought that he would go to Hong Kong to attend the Academy Awards in a while, and he would be able to travel in Shanghai, so he agreed to Xie Jinye
