Chapter 947 What Do You Want?
Such a Chinese cultural craze that spread rapidly to the entire Western world in less than 24 hours was actually noticed by the domestic people in the morning of the same day in China. With the escalation of cultural craze in the western world, more and more eastern countries have discovered this unusual social hotspot in the western world, and have subsequently reported on it.
And in the middle of the night in the Eastern Time of the United States, that is, at 11:30 in the morning of China time, Li Qian, who was in New York and had just fallen asleep at that time, received a call from China on the other side of the ocean.
He is most afraid of this, so he usually turns off his phone when he sleeps at night, but this time he had fun in the afternoon, and everyone got together to drink and celebrate at night, so he forgot to turn off his phone.
Then, he was woken up with a splitting headache.
It was Zhao Sicun.
"Hello."
"Hey, Qian'er, are you asleep? Let me tell you, I know you should be asleep. I don't want to make this call. Even if I do, I will definitely wait a few more hours and guess what time you should wake up over there." I'll fight again when it's over. But, I can't do without it! Brother, what you've done is awesome!"
"Well, what's the matter? There are news from the domestic side?"
Zhao Sicun on the opposite side laughed softly twice, and said: "It's not just news, it's too big, and it will definitely be broadcast on the news network tonight. I just came out from the meeting and didn't come back to us in the car." In the Bureau, the big leader named and praised him, saying that this is what an excellent artist should do! According to the news I received, the big leader suddenly asked you about the acquisition of Columbia, so it is estimated that in the past few days, I'm going to start meeting everywhere, and this time, the preferential treatment given to you by the superiors is definitely not bad!"
"Can it be higher than before? Can you give me some support?"
On the opposite side, Zhao Sicun smiled, "When the big leader speaks, the strength is incomparable to the level of a small office meeting before!" Even if it was not easy, it must be done now! Even if you suddenly don’t want to do this and feel that it can’t be done, relevant departments, such as our most direct, ****, have to help you with this matter It's done!"
Li Qian gradually came to his senses.
So, he said, "Wait for me!", and then simply sat up, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and turned around to comfort Zhou Mo, signaling to let her continue to sleep, then put on his pajamas, opened the door and walked out of the room Go, sit down in the living room, and then said: "So, can you give me another batch of interest-free loans?"
Zhao Sicun laughed again when he heard the words, "Isn't the money for this matter already enough? What's the use of you asking for so many loans? Even if there is no interest, you need to repay it! It's not for nothing, so, for other things, Think about it, you need some policies and other support, at this time, just ask what you want!"
Li Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and soon he completely understood what Zhao Sicun meant-the series of meetings he was going to hold next, in fact, to put it bluntly, when the big leader spoke, the people below were afraid If this matter can't be done, I quickly arranged for Zhao Sicun to ask Li Qian, what do you need? Whatever you want, just say it, as long as you get things done and the big leader is happy, we will help you with your business.
This is rare!
When encountering this kind of thing, Zhao Sicun’s words hit the point—asking for money becomes a trivial matter, and asking for money seems a bit silly, and the more important thing is to ask for policies!
So, Li Qian thought for a while, and said, "Our company is preparing to declare recently, we want to obtain the qualification to introduce and distribute foreign films, and we also want to get a small channel quota of a few films per year..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Sicun couldn't help interrupting him, and said directly: "I said you are a bit promising, okay? Brother, just for this matter, even if you didn't buy the Columbia business, you wouldn't have it this time." This big event that was worked out, that is, the communication between our Film Bureau and the Ministry of Culture, I can help you if you can't reach the sky. It's too wasteful to ask for this at a time like this. You can think about other things ..."
Hearing what he said, Li Qian was suddenly a little stunned.
For a long time, under his auspices, no matter which path Minghu Culture takes for its development, music, TV dramas, market performances, movies, and the most recent theaters, it has actually taken a particularly prudent path—because Li Qian I know that I just need to walk in a down-to-earth manner, relying on my own advantages, I don't need any opportunism, I don't need any crooked ways, and I can still succeed.
So in this way, going steadily will ensure that Minghu Culture has developed along the way, with almost no obvious disadvantages, no conspicuous shortcomings, and basically no official, policy, etc. The little problem, the pigtail.
What's more, because it has been going all the way in such a smooth and stable way, no matter what it does for so many years, Minghu Culture has basically not encountered blockages and challenges from major peers——Last year "Huang Feihong" "Being stepped down by "The Gate of Life and Death" is a very serious rebound and suppression of the rise of Minghu culture by the film and television industry, but it still can't touch the root of Minghu culture at all, and it can't stop or influence Minghu culture at all. In this year's high-speed rise!
This matter developed after the release of "Huang Feihong: A Man Should Be Self-improving" this year, because the movies produced by Minghu Culture have exploded three times in a row this year. At this time, when people in the circle carefully examine Minghu Culture , I found that this company has been walking too steadily in recent years. In the face of its rapid growth, everyone almost unanimously found that there was nothing to do.
Therefore, whether Zhou Yanghua's Dongfang Media Group or Hu Fei's Huafei Film and Television, as the industry's bigwigs and giants, they changed the direction of the wind almost at the same time, and began to shift from last year's confrontation to the pursuit of various aspects of Minghu culture. This kind of cooperation - even at the expense of self-worth!
So under such circumstances, Li Qian never expected to get any special treatment or any policy support from the beginning to the end.
The advantage of going very steadily from the beginning is that you are not afraid of any opponent or situation you encounter, because you are well prepared, but the disadvantage is that the country suddenly thinks you are good, and wants to give you some small privileges and support. Oh, Li Qian couldn't think of what kind of support he should ask for!
Because as long as Minghu Culture continues to follow these steps, it can achieve the final result Li Qian wants without any special support from the state at all!
Other companies will expect extravagantly what the country can give, and Minghu Culture basically takes care of everything within the scope of the law. Were the taxes paid for the concubine certificate refunded?
A lot of money!
But before he could think about it, he beat this sentence to death in his mind!
If you open your mouth about this, it would be too embarrassing!
You yourself are romantic and passionate, or you are greedy and lustful, and you have a romantic debt. You have no choice but to marry one by one, so you have the nerve to ask the country for policies? Return your money?
What are you thinking!
You know, in recent years, there have been various big discussions in China, and various meetings in the country, discussing the complete abolition of concubine system!
After thinking for a long time, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Li Qian's mind, and he really thought of one.
So, after not speaking for a long time, he suddenly said: "Brother Zhao, when you said that, I suddenly thought of something. It is said that the two theaters directly managed by your film bureau have been operating poorly for the past few years. So, it is said that you have been discussing internally, hoping to introduce some partners or managers?"
On the other side of the phone, Zhao Sicun suddenly burst out laughing.
After laughing, he said: "I just guessed that you had to make up your mind about this!"
After a pause, he said: "Didn't you invest a lot of money yourself, and have been buying land, renting land, building new buildings, or buying, renovating and expanding? The last time President Qi came to the bureau to file, I think the scale is quite large. , Why, you still have an appetite, can you swallow it?"
There is no need to think about this question, Li Qian replied directly: "The more the better! No matter how much I can swallow!"
Hearing these words in Zhao Sicun's ears, he was a little surprised!
Over the years, since domestic films have liberalized the commercial film market, the overall tone has of course been developing greatly, but almost every few years, there will be a wave of huge market shocks.
At that time in 1997 and 1998, the market almost fell off a cliff. This year, except for the films of Minghu Culture, which are thriving, the productions of other domestic film companies have suffered disastrous market failures, including Qin Wei and Du Weiyun. It has not been spared, and the market of the domestic film market, after Minghu Culture has produced three blockbuster films with a box office of 500 to 600 million, now it can only be maintained at the same level as last year—that is, if The three films without Minghu Culture are going to fall this year!
So, what is the future development of the film market?
The overall trend is definitely going to rise. As long as the country's large economic development environment remains unchanged, once so many people in the country become rich, the film market will expand, which is the most normal and simple thing.
But the question is, what kind of rising method? What will be the magnitude and frequency of the increase? Can the quality of domestic films improve? In addition to the Minghu culture, can there be more Li Qian, Zhao He, Feng Bicheng and more "Huang Feihong" and "Big Wrist"? To what extent will the domestic film market eventually develop in the future?
No one dares to say it!
Even if Zhao Si has been in the Ministry of Culture for more than ten years, he has always been specialized in the management and scheduling of domestic culture and art. The market has been studied in depth, and he still has no idea.
Because no one has a pair of eyes that can see through the future.
Perhaps in the current world, there is only one Li Qian, who has full confidence in the development of the Chinese film market from beginning to end, and is full of confidence, and has never been affected by any market fluctuations, shocks or landslides. Expectations have waned in the slightest.
He has always firmly believed that the Chinese film market in the future will definitely be a super big plate. Even if we take a long-term view, in the next thirty years, with the development of the economy, the Chinese film market will surely surpass the North American region and become The world's largest single film market!
Therefore, at this time, when he proposes two state-owned theater lines, facing Zhao Sicun's question, he can express without hesitation: his appetite is almost unlimited!
Zhao Sicun was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and said: "That's it. If you want the small one, I don't think it's a big problem. One is that the management has indeed been poor in recent years, and the theaters are aging and in urgent need of renovation. My son, the money cannot be approved, so in principle, packaging and selling is an idea that the above has been considering. Now if you ask for it, it should be discussed. But the big one, I advise you Don't think about it, even if you continue to lose money, at the national level, it is impossible for the film bureau to agree to the overall sale."
After a pause, he emphasized: "The government must have such a theater in its hands! Even if it loses money to operate!"
Li Qian nodded slowly when he heard the words, "No problem, as far as I know, there are two to three hundred movie theaters in the small one, and five or six hundred canvases, it's big enough!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sicun let out an "um" and asked, "Then, that's it?"
Li Qian tried his best to use his brain, hesitated for a while, and said: "The government stipulates that private ownership of shares shall not exceed 50% of any TV station. I don't know if this can be..."
Before Li Qian finished speaking, Zhao Sicun said decisively: "Don't even think about it! TV stations are different from movies and movie theaters. It is impossible for any TV station with a license to allow private ownership of more than 50%. This is a dead rule! Like HUNAN, the Tan family jointly holds 49.5% of the shares, and now Tan Dezhang has almost all the management rights, which is already the bottom line acceptable to the government!"
Li Qian nodded when he heard the words, sighed, and said, "Okay, I understand. That's it!"
Zhao Sicun gave another "hmm" and said: "I will help you fight for what you should fight for. Later, you can call Lao Zou. He will definitely represent you and Mr. Qi in the near future, and he will follow me to hold meetings everywhere. You can mention all these requirements to him, and you can talk about the reasons and ideas. Even if I don’t think it’s okay, you can say the same. First reject a few things, and the latter one will be easier to pass, right? !"
Li Qian smiled when he heard this, and said, "That's fine, I know. I'll call Lao Zou later."
After the phone conversation was over, Li Qian hung up the phone, called Zou Wenhuai again, told the things to explain one by one, hung up the phone, threw the phone on the sofa, and sat alone on the big sofa in the living room He sat on the bed for a while, then got up and went back, ready to continue sleeping.
