Xiao Qian was called to the capital by Li Jianguo the next day.
It was impossible for Han Siping not to report such a big matter.
"What's the matter, do you still want to dominate the world?"
Seeing the old god Xiao Qian there, Li Jianguo became furious.
He asked Han Siping to find Xiao Qian for help. Unexpectedly, Xiao Qian actually proposed such an ambitious plan.
The domestic network of relationships is so complicated that even he, a high-ranking minister, cannot resolve it in one fell swoop. Xiao Qian actually wants to unify the film industry.
Li Jianguo decided to let him sober up, otherwise he would have to make a big mistake.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qian knew that Li Jianguo had misunderstood.
"Dad, that's not what happened."
Of course, Li Jianguo couldn't just rebuke him regardless of what he did before.
Now that Xiao Qian's status and energy are there, the most important thing is that he has always been reliable in doing things. You can't just not listen to other people's opinions just because he is your own son.
"Tell me, let me see, what do you think?"
Xiao Qian was naturally prepared.
"The current domestic film industry is too general, but not three-dimensional enough. If everyone follows the example of Dongying, they will inevitably end up working in their own way, and in the end, they will disperse their strength. The idea of Mr. Han and I is that in leading companies,
On the basis of this, we will establish downward extension channels to expand the influence of the film industry and maximize its exploration."
Li Jianguo laughed angrily.
"Oh, you and China Film Group have controlled the biggest part and only let others drink the soup. Do you think they can agree to it?"
Xiao Qian scratched his hair.
"What we gave you wasn't meat soup, nor was it vegetable soup."
Li Jianguo stared angrily.
"Speak carefully, I want a strong reason."
Okay, it's not like Xiao Qian doesn't have good reasons.
"With the development of the market economy and the country's gradual opening of the film market, the current domestic film landscape has undergone major changes. With the entry of private capital, the original operations based on major state-owned film studios
The model is changing towards competition for capital
What is certain is that in the near future, those with the right to speak in the film market will definitely be business groups with strong capital. Those film studios will only decline and eventually become vassals. Under such circumstances, in the future film market
Resources will inevitably tend to be concentrated.”
He gave a ready example.
"Even if American movies are as powerful as the United States, there is only one Hollywood. I have never heard of American movies blooming in all 50 states, each occupying its own area. Therefore, in the future, domestic movies will only be concentrated in the capital and Shanghai."
Li Jianguo's expression changed, he was no longer as arbitrary as before, and he pursued, "You continue."
Xiao Qian put forward his conclusion.
"There is actually no difference between the film market and other commercial markets. Whoever controls the means of production has the dominant power. With the concentration of the film and television industry, other provinces, cities and regions will inevitably become dumping grounds for films.
Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are controlled by Dongfang Film and Television, and are controlled by China Film.
The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region will rely on products to determine the order of the film market. Under such circumstances, even without state intervention, other regions can only become secondary markets and cannot have dominance in the film industry.
Otherwise, the market will be in chaos."
In previous generations, the development of the Chinese film market was gradually centralized.
Several major film companies are concentrated in a certain area, but they affect more than 80% of the domestic film market.
But the bad thing about the movie market in the previous life was that the movie reform was not complete. Every place set up its own theater chain and distribution, and each company had its own plans.
As a result, after the movie was produced, the production company had to take the movie from place to place, and negotiate with one distribution company after another.
This has resulted in a huge consumption of costs, leaving major film and television companies struggling.
Unfortunately, these distribution and theater companies control the markets in various places and are very aggressive in asking prices. In the end, the most tired production companies have the least income, which is almost the same as before the reform.
It was after seeing this that Xiao Qian made a new plan.
There is no need for so many distribution companies and theater companies in China. The two leading companies, East Film and China Film, are enough. The rest can be allowed to form small regional companies, but they cannot have a say.
Now Xiao Qian is not afraid of opposition from people everywhere, because the production of film products is in the hands of Dongying, China Film and Starlight.
The output and quality of other film and television companies cannot be compared with these three.
In particular, East Film and China Film still have the power to introduce films. It is basically a matter of one word to decide who will be filmed and who will not be filmed.
If local film and television companies do not allow Dongfang Film and China Film to inject capital into their management, they will have no hope of making good films.
Without movies to show, what else can these companies do except close down?
Of course, things must not come to this point. Otherwise, if those who have lost everything start making trouble, Xiao Qian will not be able to bear the consequences.
That's why he came up with the settings for the primary market and the secondary market.
Although those people do not have the right to speak in the primary market, they can rely on the secondary market to reach deeper and deeper, and they can still make their mouths water.
China's film market has always been a mess. It's fine in cities of a certain size, but down below, it's really easy to take things as they come.
In Xiao Qian's memory, in his hometown in Northeast China, a county with more than 300,000 people, there was not even a movie theater.
In his childhood, he had no memory of going to the cinema to watch movies. But isn’t a county with a population of 300,000 people worthy of having a cinema?
This is an area that currently cannot be reached by domestic films. The original film practitioners are too impatient and have to work hard.
Now, Xiao Qian wants to force them to continue the market.
Starlight Film and Television conducted a nationwide survey last year, and the target group was people in remote areas.
As a result, in the survey, more than 80% of the respondents expressed the hope of having a place to watch movies.
What does this mean?
This shows that the current public is willing to consume movies, but they suffer from the lack of places to consume.
After the decline of the original old state-owned cinemas, new cinemas have not yet been launched, which has created a huge vacancy in the film market.
"Last year we conducted a survey and found that there are currently 2,700 movie theaters in operation in China. Compared with our land area and population, this number is obviously far insufficient. In North America, it is 5,770.
One hundred and twenty-four theaters, including 349 drive-in theaters. Dad, we still have big gaps and deficiencies in the construction of theater chains."
If Li Jianguo thought Xiao Qian was fanciful when he talked about establishing a film classification market just now, then in front of the real data, Li Jianguo was finally shocked.
The insufficient number of movie theaters in the country means that the potential of Chinese films has not been fully developed.
Under such circumstances, in-depth cultivation is obviously the best thing to do.
"Eastern Film and China Film must become bigger and stronger. They can serve as the leading force in the domestic film industry and lead the rapid development of the entire industry. At the same time, they must withstand the pressure of external peers. When East Film and China Film put aside external pressure
When blocked, can other companies take advantage of this opportunity to thrive?”
Nowadays, Hollywood movies are conquering the world, and many countries and regions have become the hunting grounds for Hollywood movies.
China is such a big market, so Hollywood movies cannot let it go.
Especially the power of "Titanic" released last year can scare the domestic film industry. As the leader, Li Jianguo is even more worried.
He thought Xiao Qian's statement was unrealistic before. But now, he began to think more about the three-dimensional and hierarchical development plan proposed by Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian has said everything that needs to be said. As for what can be done in the end, that is beyond his control.
However, what is certain is that China Film’s cinema chain reform in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is a done deal.
Even if his later expectations come true, with China Film and Dongying controlling the two largest film and television bases in China, the entire Chinese film industry will not be afraid of going astray.
Full of confidence, Xiao Qian returned to the Magic City and devoted herself to the production of "Shaolin Temple".
This big-budget movie from Starlight Pictures has high hopes.
"Hey, only after reading this can my soul be soothed."
Looking at the wonderful fighting scenes on the screen, Xiao Qian was filled with emotion.
"The one in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is also pretty good. Everyone praises it."
Xiao Qian doesn’t give face to his own works.
"Who do you have to compare yourself with? Compared with other martial arts dramas, of course they are good. But compared with action movies like Shaolin Temple, they are not worthy of lifting shoes."
If his words were heard by the audience who deeply loved "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", their jaws would definitely drop.
