Chapter 764: We carry the flag

"Can you tell me the specific plan?"
"Hollywood is coming fiercely and the market is about to open. What is the source of your confidence?"
"Are you sure you are the annual box office champion for five years?"
"Why is it five years?"
The press conference became a mess. The representatives of the world pressed their hands down and said: "Quiet and quiet, wait for me to finish. I repeat, it is indeed the five-year box office champion.
In addition to the Lunar New Year film "Fifty First Loves", the new film "The Unknown", directed by Zhang Yimou, will be released next year. This is a unique movie that will definitely make the audience shine.
In addition..."
He paused and said with a smile: "Also, please introduce Wu Dong."
After talking, lean back to indicate the end of the speech.
Wu Mengchen cleared his throat and said: "Okay, let me just say it briefly. As early as the middle of the year, China Film Group and World Film and Television reached a cooperation to jointly create a film project.
Now I will report to the media, audiences, and friends who care about the film industry.
At the time of the new century, the 50th anniversary of Daqing is over, and China's entry into the WTO is expected...We are facing unprecedented changes. All walks of life are preparing, and Chinese films should also open a new chapter.
Recently, there have been many pessimistic remarks, thinking that as soon as Hollywood comes in, domestically produced films will not work. We cannot deny the gap in strength, but we will never sit still.
So today it is announced that we will launch the ‘cross-century five-year film plan’. Starting from this year, at least one medium-cost or large-scale production, with high commercial value and artistic level, will be shot every year.
There is too much theory, and what is needed now is actual combat training. We hope to take this opportunity to ignite the spark of Chinese film innovation..."
Buzzing!
Blow up the pan again.
"In other words, did you make at least five blockbusters?"
"What is the difference between medium cost and large production?"
"You want to use blockbusters to fight blockbuster films?"
"Chinese-style blockbusters have repeatedly failed in recent years. What do you think is the problem?"
"Okay, I will answer together..."
Old Wu waved his hand and said, "The so-called cost is determined by the domestic environment, not by Hollywood. They are all called small productions with 10 million US dollars, and we count it as a sky-high price.
So the medium cost, our concept is more than 40 million. Big production, maybe 100 million or even over 100 million.
At least one every year, and yes, at least five.
Why make a blockbuster? As I said before, actual combat training, and in the current movie market, only blockbuster movies can bring the audience back to the theater..."
He dealt with it, and then said: "This year's first work was shot by China Film Group, World Film and Television, and Forbidden City Pictures. It was directed by Tsui Hark, starring Ge You, Liang Jiahui, and Gong Li. The title is "A World Without Thieves". .
This is a medium cost, with a budget of 60 million. "
In fact, it is 3-4 million, so-called 60 million.
Han Sanping also said: "The movie will start soon, and the opening ceremony will be held at that time. Everyone is welcome to participate. This play is based on the novel, and Teacher Xu Fei has written the script..."
He introduced the summary and finally concluded:
"Everything has two sides, there is a good side and a bad side.
If there is no strong external pressure, we may still be immersed in the glory of the past without knowing the change. It was Hollywood's eye-catching eyes that contributed to this cooperation.
We just want to say that Chinese movies will definitely get rid of their burdens and start again. There is no way back, and it will never go back! "
…………
As soon as the news came out, the two factions immediately spurred each other.
"Look, you see! Mainland directors don't know how to make blockbuster films, don't you have to hire Hong Kong people?"
"Are you blind? Tsui Hark is good at making commercial films, but the lineup is obviously dominated by the mainland."
"Take your time, the education of mainland directors is not close to that of blockbuster films. Don't tolerate outsiders and be harsh on your own people."
"If China Film shoots alone, I'm still worried, it doesn't matter if you add the world."
In the past two years, domestic films have declined, and only Chen Kaige's "Jing Ke Assassinated the King of Qin" was a hit, and it ended up rushing to death. The only effect was to lose confidence in domestic blockbusters.
"A World Without Thieves" is different, Old Monster Xu is famous in the world, and Liang Jiahui is not bad. Needless to say Ge You and Gong Li. Just looking at this lineup, most people are looking forward to it.
And this is the first one, and it's medium cost.
...
A province.
Several good friends are having a meal, and the mood is complicated and exciting.
"You said they would bluff?"
"Do you believe it yourself?"
"Then you have to speak on the basis of quality. Now it's making a lot of noise, and the credibility will be lost if the film is bad."
"The script was made by Xu Fei, and he was also the producer. The investment is all from the mainland, and there is only one Hong Kong actor. Tsui Hark is here to work, and he must be the main one.
When did Xu Fei fail, you won't forget "The Wind"? "
How can "The Wind" be forgotten!
That's a real deal, the guy who robbed the box office of 100 million with his true ability.
"Then what shall we do? Lao Zhang and Lao Wang have already surrendered, but they are so embarrassed."
"Consuming! We need blockbuster movies, don't they need a theater? If you don't talk about it, you can get more benefits."
"Okay, listen to you."
After a meal, several people fell apart.
One of the bosses immediately called: "Hello, Mr. Xu? Huh, remember me... It's okay, I saw the news. You are really brave. You are a big production.
Don't worry about "A World Without Thieves", I will never hold back. You can rest assured that you can do whatever you want to do with the New Year film! "
Hanging up, the boss scolded:
"Bangmaul, do you really listen to you? First express your opinion and eat meat first, and then consume the soup!"
...
Since the successful negotiation, the film industry has unexpectedly become the biggest hit.
Everyone discussed for half a month, news one after another, just as the "Five-Year Plan" was refreshing, Xiangshan also joined in the fun. On the last day of November, Xiangshan Film and Television City released a message:
"From now on, the studios will be exempted from rental fees.
All film and TV drama crews can use various scenic spots to shoot free of charge under unified and coordinated arrangements! "
President Huang also stood up and showed his face, awe-inspiring: "According to our estimation, the implementation of this regulation will reduce our income by nearly 10 million a year.
But as a person in the film and television industry, you can't just focus on immediate benefits. All crews are welcome to come and do their best. We sincerely hope that Chinese film and television will be great. "
For a time, some foreign enemies invaded, feeling like a united state.
…………
Entering December, there are still discussions about the film on the surface, but secretly they are already preparing to go.
It is snowing in the capital.
At the exit of the train station, an electrician with a big brain stood alone on the side of the road, carrying a big bag. Looking at the black and crushing heads in the square in front of the station, I imagined that they were alien species hiding in the human society plotting aggression.
The flow of thought is violent, and real time will pass quickly.
When he was constructing himself to put on a high-tech armor and fight against alien species, a person finally ran over.
"Mr. Liu? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there was an accident in the snow."
"It doesn't matter, your last name?"
"Just call me Xiao Mo, I'll carry it for you."
When the two got into the car, the electrician went back in such a good car, and his buttocks were very restless. Passing through the streets and alleys of the capital, not interesting in the snow, and soon arrived at a hotel.
He was quite nervous, you said, I was a fish-fishing engineer at a power plant, why did he come to the capital and have something to do with the movie?
(and also……)
