3q c, the fastest update hunting Hollywood! Anti-theft chapter

Inside the black Mercedes-Benz car, feeling the car slow down, Zhang Guoshi looked up from a speech that he had read many times, and then realized that he had arrived at the Radio and Television Yamen near Fuxingmen in the capital.

The driver communicated with the doorman, the Mercedes-Benz entered, and soon stopped in the parking lot.

Zhang Guoshi put the speech into his satchel, and the driver that Jinshu provided for him had already graciously helped him open the door, got out of the car, and just said politely to the driver, someone came up to greet him.

"Director Zhang, it's really hard to call you back from Gansu so far away."

At the beginning of August, Heroes officially started filming in Dunhuang, Gansu.

The crew was burning money every day. Zhang Guoshi didn't intend to come back to attend this meeting, but the higher-ups demanded that Jinshu not only didn't stop it, but also offered to help coordinate for some reason, so he rushed back temporarily.

Zhang Guoshi recognized that this was the secretary of the head of the yamen. He had met him before, and shook hands with him with a smile: "It should be. I happen to be back to do some things."

The two exchanged polite greetings, and Zhang Guoshi entered an office building with the big secretary.

Today is Wednesday, September 3rd.

In the past few days, the most talked-about news hotspot in China, apart from the somewhat numb financial turmoil in Southeast Asia, is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's box office in North America breaking 100 million.

To be more precise, during the previous weekend from August 29 to August 31, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which was released for the sixth week, earned another $6.65 million at the box office in North America during the three-day weekend, making this Chinese martial arts The cumulative North American box office of the film officially exceeded the US$100 million mark, reaching US$100.31 million.

After opening for so many years, it is not uncommon for Chinese-language movies to win awards in the West. However, it is unprecedented for a pure Chinese-language martial arts movie to win a box office of 100 million US dollars in the world's largest North American film market.

The pride of the country.

It just so happens that the release date of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in China is gradually approaching. When the news comes, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has been detonated by the domestic public opinion that has been closely watched since it was released in North America. The level is hotly debated.

If it weren't for the special situation of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there would be no lack of treatment similar to the Korean film Parasite in the original time and space, which won the Oscar and returned to the Blue House to hold a special celebration banquet. After all, the general trend of opening up, in addition to the opening up of the economy, let the world see China. Culture is equally important.

Not to mention some deep-seated changes that are brewing, Radio and Television responded to the call in time this time, and today specially held an exchange meeting with a very long name. Phenomena Symposium'.

For those with keen intuition, it is not difficult to find some clues in the title of this conference.

In general, some of Simon's original ideas are being realized little by little.

Through Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice's final global box office of 1.938 billion U.S. dollars, the Chinese side realized that movies can make such money. Chinese-language movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon have sold over 100 million yuan at the box office in North America, once again making some people realize that Chinese-language movies can also make money in this way.

In the end, it will indirectly promote the accelerated transformation of the Chinese film industry.

After all, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’s estimated total box office in North America is about 130 million. After conversion, it is no different from the estimated annual box office in China in 1997, not to mention the cultural export factors behind this movie.

The renaissance of Chinese movies in the past, the domestic release of Titanic in 1998 was a node, the North American hit of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in 2000 was another node, and then, joining the WTO was another node. The three nodes, either actively or passively promoted, finally created a prosperous era of Chinese films after the new century.

This time, because of Simon, the big butterfly, everything that was supposed to happen happened a little earlier.

Radio and TV Yamen here.

Zhang Guoshi followed the secretary to a lounge, greeted everyone, and many people arrived one after another. In addition to the high-level officials of the yamen, big names in the domestic circle, Dao Chen, Lao Jiang, Dao Xie and others all arrived. Invited to the list, there are also three main creators who are currently cooperating with the promotion of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in China, director Ang Lee, Fa Ge and Li Youhu.

Another heroine said it was a schedule conflict, so she didn't come.

When everyone is here, the first process is not to hold a meeting immediately, but to watch movies.

After all, it has not been released publicly, and most people at the scene have not seen the movie.

Everyone came to a screening room in the office building. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Zhang Guoshi found that his seat was arranged next to Director Chen. next to the leader.

The two exchanged pleasantries on the surface and sat down together, but inside, sparks flew everywhere.

Because one month before the start of the hero, in July, Jing Ke assassinated the king of Qin in the Jinshu Film and Television City in Suzhou.

Not only that, Zhang Guoshi also heard news recently, probably stimulated by the overseas box office of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, or definitely influenced by Hero’s 30 million US dollars budget, Director Chen, who has already received 70 million RMB investment, was filming while filming. It's raising money again, trying to make it bigger.

I actually read Director Chen's script in private.

Zhang Guoshi only felt that even if he couldn't compare to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, he was still very stable compared to Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin.

First of all, with the backing of Jin Shu, Director Chen couldn't compare with him. Behind Jinshu is Daenerys Entertainment, the owner of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It can even be said that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero are two brothers.

Zhang Guoshi didn't know if Director Chen had watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in advance. On his side, after Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was sold in North America, he just mentioned it a little, and Jinshu sent a copy to him. , Observe and refer at any time, Zhang Guoshi has indeed made some adjustments to the hero's shooting plan according to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon during this period.

It was $30 million after all.

Zhang Guoshi does not lack his own ideas, but he has always been a very tactful person who knows how to adapt.

Watching the movie started at 9:30 in the morning, and it ended at 11:30. We had a decent working meal directly at the Yamen, and the meeting started at 1:00 in the afternoon.

During the free discussion of the previous speech, Zhang Guoshi took out the speech again.

The manuscript was given by Jinshu, which is why he hurried back today, it was just a piece of advice.

Zhang Guoshi doesn't mind speaking out for Jinshu, but he definitely doesn't want to be used as a gunman. He has read it many times in advance and confirmed that there are no problems of principle. He also said that if he thinks there is anything wrong, he can modify it by himself. Since there is no one, take turns. When it came to him, he read the original manuscript directly.

Probably the meaning is very simple.

In order to revive Chinese films, it is necessary to ensure the sound development of the film market, but the core is different, to accelerate the promotion of the theater system and to combat piracy.

Simon's trip to China last year prompted some changes in the Chinese film industry. The main gain is that foreign capital can invest in domestic theaters, and the shareholding cannot exceed half. What's more, China has begun to promote the reform of the theater chain system.

The former is okay. Regarding the reform of the theater chain system, due to various interest disputes, this year can only be described as procrastination.

As for piracy, it is impossible to eradicate it, even after decades. However, if strict measures are taken, the harm caused by piracy can actually be alleviated.

In the manuscript that Zhang Guoshi received, specific measures were proposed to address these two major issues.

For example, forcing domestic theaters to set up or join theaters within a time limit.

For example, in terms of piracy, special personnel will be dispatched to supervise the copies during the film's release, at least to ensure that there is no piracy for a period of time, so as to give space to genuine movies.

These are actually measures taken by the Chinese film industry in the past.

Simon signaled Chen Qing to formulate this proposal to let Zhang Guoshi speak out, also to pave the way for Hero's release in China next year.

It did not mention sensitive topics such as loosening the ties to filmmakers or increasing the degree of opening up to foreign investment, but to strengthen the policies already implemented. Under the general trend created by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the chances of being accepted by the Chinese high-level are very high.
