Chapter 903 Old Friend?
Gao Jun saw it accurately!
This dispute over the division of accounts was actually led by China Film Distribution Company, but China Film may have felt that the weight in its hand was not enough, so it recruited five other members to work together.
With China Film taking the lead, and the other four companies being strong private production and distribution companies, it is inevitable to underestimate the enemy: last year Zhang Weiping single-handedly conquered all theaters, how can this year's "six-in-one" be invincible?
But Zhang Weiping has full confidence in "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins". Who among these companies has confidence?
The first is that the film studio is not confident in its film, and just hopes to mention two more points to recover the cost as soon as possible;
The second is lack of unity. Everyone is looking at Huayi. If it succeeds, it will take advantage of it. If it fails, forget it...
In addition, the most important thing is the official attitude~
The theaters built in the past one or two years have also begun to suffer losses. If the theaters are given less, no one may invest in the theaters in the future...
But since we can talk...
Shen Xudong immediately said: "Please help me make an appointment with the theater chain bosses, and I will talk to you personally..."
"Then you'd better not ally with them..." Gao Jun thought for a while and persuaded: "I don't think you need to be in the limelight!"
"I'm not trying to show off..."
Gao Jun continued: "I know you are not, but this kind of thing should be done by the competent authorities! Why should private companies compete with each other? When releasing imported blockbusters, private companies will have nothing to do, and we will not be able to make money. , they got us out when they were carrying thunder, why?"
"Too…"
"Let me tell you, in China, whatever you do needs policy support..."
"...Okay, then I'll stick to the original plan...if it works, or if it doesn't, forget it?"
"Um…"
After hanging up the phone, Gao Jun immediately called Zhao Jun and Wu Hehu...
One of these two people is the chairman of Dadi Cinemas, and the other is the deputy general manager of Shanghai United Cinemas...
Gao Jun was previously the vice president of BJ New Film Alliance and is now the general manager of Jiahe Cinema Line.
Together, the three accounted for more than a third of the country's box office revenue.
Similar to Gao Jun's attitude, both of them said they could discuss it. Then when they heard that they were 'not going to talk, they're just sending an announcement', their attitudes immediately changed: "What do you mean? Fa Ge's announcement just wants us to compromise?"
"It's a beautiful idea, but if you don't give us face like this, it will be a dead end!"
…
Lei Jiayin quickly read through the synopsis of the script for "Cohabitation in Time and Space" - the specific script has not been written yet.
This is Su Lun’s project!
The first draft of the script has been released, but it has not yet been finalized - Shen Xudong pointed out many problems, and did not fully consider the most important "butterfly effect" in the time-travel setting. In addition, the rhythm is somewhat unbalanced, with the first half supported by laughter and the second half maintained by sensationalism. In the second half, the transition was too abrupt.
The biggest problem caused by such abruptness is the facial makeup and irrationality of the characters, which is mainly reflected in the heroine.
The metallic nature is too obvious!
The main logic and story skeleton make sense;
It just needs more substantial and appropriate plot filling to make the story more natural and vivid...
Bringing it back, in fact, the script is only one aspect. Not to mention that the script is qualified, even if it is not qualified, Lei Jiayin cannot refuse - would you reject the script given to you by Shen Xudong?
"Boss, who is the heroine?"
"Chen Hao..."
"...When will it be filmed?"
"Contact Su Lun. I estimate it will be around the second half of next year. Ask her for the specific time!"
Lei Jiayin nodded: "Yes."
"Okay..." Shen Xudong was about to let him go back when he suddenly remembered something: "Leizi, what are you filming recently?"
"My Father and Mother" by Director Liu.
"Period drama?"
"Um…"
Director Liu is Liu Huining...
A core figure in the Shaanxi circle, his wife Chen Xiaoyi. His most famous work is also the most representative work. "12.1 Shooting Case" with a score of 9.3 on Douban was filmed in Xi'an and focused on almost all the core figures in the Shaanxi circle. Executive director Zhang Xiaotong, later renamed Zhang Jiayi, has been working with Liu Huining all year round and serves as the male lead;
Li Shaofei, who worked behind the scenes and as a guest star, later filmed "Pi", "The Stage", Jian Chuanqi, and later filmed "Ode to Joy" and "Everything Is Good", and he can be considered his disciple...
Starting in 2009, Liu Huining began to cooperate with Tianmei and Xinli in filming.
"Please Forgive Me", "Ten Years of Love", and "You Are My Brother" are all good quality dramas!
In addition, the heroine of "Ten Years of Love" was replaced by Zeng Li - knowing that something would happen to Dong Bailian, why did you choose her to star?
What did Shen Xudong think of: "Director Liu is still capable. I heard Chen Xi say the other day that Director Liu and Zhang Jiayi wanted to make "White Deer Plain". Do you have any ideas?"
""Bailuyuan"?"
"right!"
"...Then I will definitely do it!"
"Well," Shen Xudong nodded: "I understand, you go out first..."
…
After Lei Jiayin left, Shen Xudong didn't mention "White Deer Plain" casually.
"The Ordinary World", "White Deer Plain", including "Qin Opera" and "Life" are all included in Tianmei's TV drama adaptation plan.
In fact, the risk of making a serious drama is not too great. TV stations are willing to buy serious dramas. What's more, "Life" and "Ordinary World" are both works with broad original works. If they are produced, they will not worry about not being able to sell them!
But then again, "Life" has 25 episodes, "Ordinary World" has 45 episodes, and "White Deer Plain" will take at least seventy or eighty episodes to be complete.
Investment is not a small number!
It's not that Shen Xudong can't afford the money, but he needs to be safe - some time ago, he reached a preliminary cooperation intention with Qujiang Film and Television and Shaanxi Cultural Investment.
Why only preliminary?
Because... Qujiang Film and Television wants to build the Bailuyuan Film and Television Base, which is a comprehensive tourist area that mainly provides film and television shooting services, and also has the functions of sightseeing, cultural entertainment, leisure and vacation...
I want Tianmei to join in!
Tianmei Company has no habit of enclosure, and does not want to be misunderstood by Xiangshan...
There was never any agreement, so "Life" and "Ordinary World" were produced by Tianmei Company themselves!
——Leave them alone and do it yourself. Anyway, the right to adapt is in your own hands.
Then, Qujiang Film and Television and Shaanxi Film Investment were in a hurry...
There's a lot of shit!
If Shen Xudong only needs to review scripts and projects every day, then he... doesn't need to come to the company at all and can directly work remotely.
For example, now, shit is happening again - six distributors, China Film, Huayi, Bona, Star America, Enlight, and Tianmei, jointly issued a "Notice to Adjust the Account Sharing Ratio of Domestic Films" to theaters across the country, requiring the box office accounting ratio to be adjusted from The original 43% increased to 45%.
Well, a notification was sent directly!
This is quite outrageous, and the notice was sent directly without any discussion.
However, this matter has nothing to do with Shen Xudong. He already knows very well that the most important thing in the dispute over the division of accounts is the opinion from above. No matter how well-founded you are, if the above temporarily adds a policy, it will be in vain for a year...
Besides, the one with the greatest pressure is "1942", which will be released on November 29th and will be the first to be released during the Lunar New Year.
The three dramas produced by Tianmei Company, "The Journey to Thailand" will be released on December 9th, "One Shot to the End" will be released on December 22nd, and then there is also "The Lover" to be released on January 9th...
So, get away from it all and go see some old friends tonight...
Brother Xiao Ming and Yang Tianbao...
