Sun Dahai can actually get VIP tickets for the premiere.
Although the two parties agreed during the co-production that China Film Co., Ltd. would be solely responsible for the domestic release, and all box office revenue would belong to China Film Co., Ltd., there would be nothing to do with Youlian.
However, there will be crew members from Youlian at the premiere, so it won't be a problem for Sun Dahai to get tickets.
But as a large-scale co-production with an investment of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, the premiere will definitely be chaotic. There will be a group of leaders, big and small, standing in line to speak.
Sun Dahai didn't want to suffer that foreign crime, so he should just stay down and be an ordinary audience member and just watch movies. As for the speeches of the leaders, whoever wants to listen can listen to them.
Hu Jing and Hu Xiao are Hu Cheng's two younger sisters. They moved to the capital with their family two years ago and are currently studying at Yingcai School.
Her sister Hu Jing is three years older than Sun Dahai and is in her third year of high school this year. Although the college entrance examination is approaching, she is still enjoying herself. As a true academic master, she feels no pressure about the upcoming college entrance examination.
In the words of her class teacher, as long as her performance in the college entrance examination is normal, she can choose any open-enrollment university or major in the country.
My younger sisters, Hu Xiao and Sun Dahai, were also assigned to the same class. Her grades were enough to look down on most of her classmates. Anyway, her total score had never been among the top five in the class or among the top ten in age.
Hu Cheng was suddenly sent to Russia by Sun Dahai. In order to prevent accidents, he would not come back in the next few years.
Therefore, Sun Dahai consciously took care of Hu Cheng's family during the period when Hu Cheng was away. Over the past year, he would call the Hu sisters for many activities.
Soon after Hu Cheng's family moved to the capital, they caught up with the welfare housing allocation in the third phase of Baiwangyuan. Hu's father worked as a project supervisor in Zhuangdeng Life, and Hu's mother was an accountant, and she joined the Yingcai Education Fund.
In addition, Hu Cheng is a veteran and serves as Sun Dahai's assistant. His rank and working experience score are very high, which makes his family's housing points very high.
Hu Cheng's family finally bought two apartments, one with four bedrooms, where Hu's father and mother Hu lived with their two daughters. Next to it was a three-bedroom and two-living room, which was reserved for Hu Cheng's new house.
There are only three phases of Baiwang Court. After the third phase, there will be no free land around it. If Shiweitian builds another dormitory building in the future, it will need to find another land.
Now this once-urban-rural fringe is now lined with high-rise buildings, all of which are new-style residential complexes, and the street environment is also very clean. It is much easier to plan on a complete blank land than to demolish and rebuild old residential areas.
In two or three months, the Jiayi International Capital Hotel next to Baiwangyuan Community will be officially put into use.
The hotel is currently undergoing interior decoration. The overall interior decoration plan made by Gianni Versace is beautiful, but the construction period is taking too long.
But there is no way around it. Slow work will bring out the best. Everyone knows this. But seeing the big workers from Europe and Hong Kong coming in and out of the construction site every day, Sun Dahai couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
, these people are all paid by the hour, and they are paid in US dollars.
Several people got into the Grand Voyager, and that day they got off the bus and took everyone to the Capital Cinema in Liubukou.
Although the capital has developed rapidly in recent years, investment in public cultural facilities is slightly insufficient.
Currently, the best theater open to the public in the capital is still the Capital Cinema, which is barely enough to satisfy Sun Dahai's appetite. Other outdated theaters that still use folding wooden seats really make him lose his desire to watch movies.
Originally, in the design plan for the third phase of Baiwang Court, there was a plan to build a modern multi-hall new cinema.
However, when the staff inquired later, they found out that this area is strictly controlled by the state. It is difficult for ordinary state-owned funds to enter this field, let alone foreign capital.
Sun Dahai, who didn't understand what was going on, complained at home, but was given a lecture by Li Cuifeng.
Only then did he realize that at this time, the country believed that movie theaters (theater chains) were also propaganda platforms, and their importance was similar to that of news media such as newspapers, radio stations, and television stations.
Forget it, after Sun Dahai found out, he stopped thinking about it. He originally had a plan to build this cinema in the name of Food for Heaven Auditorium.
Since the country attaches so much importance to this area, Sun Dahai will not resist the temptation. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing if he does not get enough copies after the theater is built.
However, this regret soon disappeared. The conference center attached to the Jiayi International Capital Hotel (Jiayi International Capital Conference Center) itself has two multi-functional staircase halls, one large and one small.
The hall can accommodate 400 people, and the small hall can accommodate 100 people. Both are equipped with supporting audio and video equipment, including a movie projector.
As a top external conference, teaching and training venue, Jiayi International Conference Center naturally has the right to film and television broadcasts since it was approved.
Leaving aside those audio-visual works that are stored on video tapes or laser discs, just talking about movie copies, Jiayi International Conference Center has three ways to obtain and screen them.
The first way is to get it from Huaxia Film Company just like ordinary theaters.
Of course, Jiayi International Conference Center is not directly affiliated with Huaxia Film Company, so it requires money to purchase movie copies. It cannot be settled internally like other state-owned cinemas. This is the so-called cinema chain model.
The films obtained in this way are mainly domestic films and overseas films uniformly introduced by the country, which are synchronized with the release plans of other theaters.
The second way is to purchase movie copies from various copyright units (major film production companies) and Huaxia Film Company.
These films are all old films that have been approved by the state for release but have now expired. The Jiayi International Convention Center purchased and screened them without any problems.
The last part is the movies purchased directly by the Jiayi International Convention Center without a release license. Currently, there are no such movies in China, and it is impossible for unqualified movies to leave the film studio.
This is mainly for overseas films. Even if the ideological and content violations are not taken into account, the small number of domestic introduction quotas every year cannot cover the outstanding films produced by various countries every year.
Of course, such films still have certain management requirements and can only be used for research and academic analysis and cannot be shown to the public.
In this era, society is not open enough, and the country has relatively strict restrictions on the public in many fields.
Take the Art and Crafts Store in Wangfujing as an example. In this era, if you want to buy an art book on sketching or oil painting (nude), money alone is not enough. You must have a certificate issued by a professional art school or related unit.
A letter of introduction is enough.
Of course, such restrictions are not strict, and there are countless ways to circumvent them.
