Entertainment, I just like making movies

Not long after, the symposium officially began.

The two big guys walked into the venue surrounded by a group of people, and thousands of people in the audience gave warm applause.

Fang Ziheng stood up and applauded, secretly observing that in addition to the two bosses, there were also the management of various departments.

The deputy and Kang Di are at the end, and depending on the situation, they can also get on the rostrum.

Seeing this, Fang Ziheng subconsciously looked at the three directors of China Film, Moying, and Huaying, wondering why they didn't go up.

Yu Dong on the side noticed his gaze and whispered: "This is an expanded symposium, which is different from the previous annual meeting."

Fang Ziheng understood and withdrew his inquiring gaze.

China Film Group is also a business company. Although Director Han's position is no lower than that of the deputy leader and Kang Wei, he could only sit in the audience at today's meeting.

Um..

Perhaps there is another possibility. This is a precursor for the higher authorities to take back the direct control rights of movies!

After the applause, the venue fell silent and you could hear a pin drop.

On the rostrum, the two big guys sat in the center, directly opposite Fang Ziheng and the others.

In the gaps on both sides, two photography teams came to record today's meeting.

The time came to 9:30, and the meeting kicked off.

The boss spoke first, emphasizing that the superiors attach great importance to culture and film work.

Inherit culture, promote culture, support films, and further demonstrate China’s unique career path through film and television.

After ten years of rapid development, our country's film industry has entered the next stage. How to maintain current achievements and further export cultural characteristics will be the top priority in the future.

Subsequently, the big boss announced that the Film Industry Promotion Law was passed and will come into effect on April 1.

The applause rang out again, especially warmly.

The establishment of the Film Promotion Law means that the film field has reached another level, with rules and regulations to follow. Some bad films and films with unhealthy views will no longer be able to be screened openly.

Film copyright protection has been strengthened, and film splitting has been included in this bill.

To put it bluntly, the emphasis on film development has been put into practical actions, especially the strengthening of review and copyright protection, and the clarification of the accounting system.

This split uniform is the prototype that Hengyu, Huayi, Guangxian, and Bona negotiated with theaters across the country.

Based on the box office of 400 million, after deducting 8.3% of the special film fund and taxes, under the box office of 400 million, theaters account for 57% and producers 43%.

The box office reached 400 million, with theaters accounting for 55% and producers accounting for 45%.

The box office reached 600 million, with theaters accounting for 53% and producers accounting for 47%.

The box office reached 800 million, with theaters accounting for 52% and producers accounting for 48%.

If the total box office in the mainland exceeds 1 billion, a 55-50 split will be implemented, with theaters and producers each accounting for half.

As soon as this system came out, the applause from the venue became even more enthusiastic, and all the filmmakers were overjoyed.

Fang Ziheng, Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian and others all had their hands turned red. They all smiled so brightly that they almost made pig noises.

Then, the head of the Propaganda Department made a speech, affirming the important progress my country has made in the construction of cultural and legal systems in recent years, and affirming the prosperity and development of the film industry.

The head of the Propaganda Department emphasized that we must implement the Film Industry Promotion Law, fully implement the new system in every corner of the film field, vigorously promote the second stage of film development, and embark on the right path of cultural revitalization.

As time passed, the symposium entered a new round of speeches.

Unlike the internal annual meeting, no one dared to make a thorn in the side. In previous years, the tense atmosphere, with people slamming the table and yelling at each other if they disagreed, lived up to its existence.

Everyone in the audience was sitting upright with serious expressions. Sometimes they lowered their heads to write and draw, sometimes they raised their heads as if they had some realization.

The three directors of China Film, Magic Film and China Film made speeches one after another.

Then it was the turn of seniors from major associations, people's arts, Chinese dramas, major colleges and universities, as well as representatives from the three fields of directors, producers, and producers.

Finally, it was the turn of the CEOs of major film and television companies to speak!

“Over the years of reform and opening up, our country’s economic development has achieved world-renowned achievements. Chinese films, which have gone through ups and downs, have also grown vigorously and become one of the banners of the cultural industry. Amidst this great change that has not been seen in three thousand years, the film industry has seen opportunities. Unprecedented, connect with the world, go abroad, and break cultural shackles

The introduction of the legal system not only regulates the film industry, but also allows all colleagues in the film industry to unite their efforts, allowing the film industry to develop rapidly while also better keeping the film ship on track."

In the audience, Fang Ziheng stood straight, holding a report in his hand, and spoke calmly.

Don't sing high-profile, don't sing empty words, but proceed according to the current situation.

Today's meeting, except for the introduction of the Film Promotion Law, is just incidental.

Even if his brain is flawed, he will not put forward any new opinions and views on an occasion like today!

Don't want to die?

After two hours, the symposium ended.

The two big guys stood up and left, waving without a trace of cloud.

Subsequently, the management of various departments, seniors from major associations, and major universities also left.

Finally, it was the turn of the film industry colleagues and representatives from all walks of life present in the back row to leave.

………

The huge venue suddenly became empty.

Thirteen people including Fang Ziheng, Han Dong, Ren Zhong, Fu Ruoqing, Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Song Ge, Fan Luyuan, Fu Meicheng, Jia Yueting, Gong Yu and Chen Wu stayed.

Thirteen people represent thirteen relatively powerful film companies in the industry.

The development of the industry and the rise of the Internet have not shortened the gap in front-line production capabilities between many companies and a few giants, but they have actually given other companies many opportunities in the field of film distribution.

The thirteen people looked at each other, and greeted the beckons of Kang Yi and Zhang Hongsen in front of them, and all came to the second floor of the auditorium.

On the second floor, in a small conference room.

As soon as they entered the door, before everyone could sit down, Zhang Hongsen, who was walking in front with Director Han and Kang Di, turned around and bowed his hands to everyone.

"Dear film bosses, I have just been transferred from the Film Bureau to China Film Co., Ltd. I hope you will support me in my future work!"

"Congratulations to Bureau Zhang for getting things right, congratulations!"

"No, it's time to call me Director Zhang. In the future, with the leadership of you and Director Han, China Film Academy will surely reach a higher level!"

"Dr. Zhang is so polite. From now on, everyone will eat from the same pot and should help each other."

"With Director Zhang joining us, Chinese-language films will surely have a brighter future!"

“Come, let’s all applaud ourselves together for Chinese-language movies!”

Good guys, every one of them here is a fox on the mountain. They answer calls just like they take jobs, setting the place on fire in minutes.

Everyone knew about Zhang Hongsen's transfer at the beginning of the month.

In the previous life, before Director Han left office, Kang Di took over China Film and served as the chairman of China Film Co., Ltd. and then as the chairman of China Film Group after Director Han left.

As soon as he left, deputy director Zhang Hongsen straightened himself up.

In this life, things are different!

Because Chinese-language films have produced several blockbuster movies overseas, Director Han was very pleased with his superiors and allowed him to serve for one more term.

The position under his buttocks did not move, which caused different changes in the positions of Zhang Hongsen and Kang Yu.

First, Kang Xian corrected the situation, and then the higher-ups reorganized China Film Group and transferred Zhang Hongsen to assist Director Han.

Speaking of China Film, you may not know something.

China Film, in addition to China Film Group, there is also China Film Co., Ltd. which is preparing to be listed.

China Film Group controls 93% of the shares of China Film Group, which is exactly the same as Hengyu Interactive Entertainment!

What makes China Film different from Hengyu is that any position above mid-level has a formal level.

In other words, although China Film Group has a firm control over the equity of China Film Co., Ltd., because everyone is at the same level, neither party can do anything about the other.

Director Han, Zhang Hongsen, and Kang Yu are all at the same level at this time, one is in charge of administration, and the other two are in charge of enterprise!

In this reorganization of China Film Group, China Film Group has retained three branches: film import and export, film and television base, and film equipment.

The remaining three companies of production, marketing, and distribution were all spun off and injected into China Film Co., Ltd.

Its six major theater chains are operated independently and are still controlled by China Film Group.

Generally speaking, between Han Dong and Zhang Hongsen, Han Dong is the leader and Zhang Hongsen is the assistant.

China Film Corporation controls production, marketing, and distribution, and is responsible for investing, shooting, and distributing movies. It does specific work.

If we really encounter a major incident, Director Han has to be at the helm. After all, he is supported by six major theater chains and import and export films.

Just like this small meeting, Director Han sat in the middle, Kang Di was on the left, and Zhang Hongsen was sitting on the right.

The meeting was chaired by Zhang Hongsen, who controls distribution and release rights.

"Dear bosses, the summer season is approaching. The purpose of inviting everyone to come together today is mainly to discuss important film schedules in the future, so as to avoid conflicts with the first films, which would hurt both parties."

"Everyone needs to take a breather before the movie is released. There should be a sequence, and the release dates should be spaced apart..."

Zhang Hongsen had a loud voice and talked eloquently. When he said that both sides would lose, he looked at Fang Ziheng specifically.

What the hell!

Look what I do!

Everyone competes fairly, one movie at a time, and there are no group fights, so there will be no harm.

Fang Ziheng looked calm and sat still, as if he didn't see Zhang Hongsen's flying eyes.

In his heart, he knew what Zhang Hongsen was referring to. Wasn't it the Spring Festival show "Tang Detective 2" and "Havoc in Heaven"?

It’s not you, Director Zhang, who is taking the lead in this matter. Why do you care so much about it?

wrong!

It can't be that simple!

In an instant, Fang Ziheng understood the meaning behind the other party's words.

Coming summer season!

Yes, Zhang Hongsen used the Spring Festival stalls as a monster in order to pave the way for summer stalls.

Murphy, will he be in charge of China Film's summer schedule this year?

In the conference room, other people also thought about this, and they all turned from the melon-eating state to the contemplation mode.

No one said a word, and few people were ready to agree, leaving Zhang Hongsen to perform a one-man show.

how to say!

The film and television company is not a charity. A movie must be released for profit. It is impossible to let China Film Corporation have full control.

If you don't have a movie with the potential to be a big hit, you can save face and adjust the schedule to make way for your big brother.

But if you have a movie that you care about, that would be a shame, as a good schedule cannot be given up.

Besides, when competition really gets fierce, the six major theater chains of China Film Group Corporation will have to jump in first.

This is the case during the Spring Festival. Even though China Film had a 40% investment share in "Havoc in Heaven", it still increased the film schedule for "Tang Detective 2".

There is no other reason. "Havoc in Heaven" is invested by China Film Headquarters, and the money earned will not be distributed to the following theater chains.

"Tang Detective 2" has a better attendance rate and is a box office hit, so the theaters naturally receive more revenue than "Havoc in Heaven".

So when discussing the schedule, everyone present didn't take it seriously. It went in one ear and out the other.

Especially Moying Ren Zhong and Huaying Fu Ruoqing, both of them pursed their lips and looked as calm as water. They couldn't help but sneer in their hearts!

Oh shit!

He is really the daughter of a stepmother!

The level of Moying and Huaying is not as high as that of China Film and Television, and their authority is not as big as that of China Film and Television. Even if you want to choose a better schedule for releasing a movie, you have to get your consent?

Get your balls out!

If the big leader just said this, we would still be able to obey. Why are you, Lao Zhang, so official? You really think we are your subordinates!

Just when everyone was silent, Fan Luyuan spoke up and said with a smile: "Harmonious development and common prosperity. Director Zhang is right. With so many movies released every year, the schedule should be discussed in advance."

"You can't, let the four giants take over all the good things, right?"

As he said that, Fan Luyuan glanced at Fang Ziheng, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, and Yu Dong, with an angry expression as if they were monopolizing each other.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the others also showed their thoughts.

Everyone has heard about the alliance between the four giants. Movies from the four companies are released every year, and generally speaking, they rarely have similar schedules.

It was during the Spring Festival at the beginning of this year that Hengyu and Bona came together. Bona made special concessions in the promotion of "Macau" and only started to work ten days after the movie was released.

In previous years, the movies of the four giants would be released at least seven days apart. If they couldn't be separated, they would be released four to five days apart to give each other an opening weekend.

For example, Hengyu and Huayi have been fighting for their lives during the summer, National Day, and New Year holidays in the past two years.

The actual situation is that the films of both companies have taken advantage of each other. While both parties are trying to heat up the market, they are suppressing other films in the same period.

Fang Ziheng and the others looked a little ugly, and glared at Fan Luyuan, secretly scolding him for talking too much and farting.

Yu Dong, who had the hottest temper, couldn't help it anymore. He punched the table with his fist, glared at Fan Luyuan and said, "Dr. Fan, what do you mean by this? What do you mean that our four giants have taken advantage of everything?"

"Last year's Lunar New Year schedule and this year's Spring Festival schedule are there. If Alibaba Pictures is really capable of producing blockbuster movies, it can choose a good schedule. I am an upright person and not afraid of competing with others!"

As soon as Yu Dong opened the door, Wang Zhongjun immediately picked up.

He stared at Fan Luyuan with a straight face and said in a deep voice: "Director Fan, what you said is hurtful. Hua Yi and Alibaba Pictures have done a good job in cooperation. The first two times "To Youth" and "Seven Stars of Lu" were released, Hua Yi As a friendly businessman, I have tried my best to promote the two movies, haven’t you seen it yet?”

The two of them sang together and instantly set Fan Luyuan up!

In particular, Wang Zhongjun's accusation brought the matter of Huayi Gang's promotion of Alibaba Pictures to the surface.

Fan Luyuan's move is tantamount to burning down bridges, which is no different from being assassinated!

As soon as Wang Zhongjun finished speaking, before Fan Luyuan could argue, Wang Changtian spoke up again.

"Haha, Mr. Fan, Lao Wang, I remember that there is no Alibaba Pictures or Enlight Media in this year's Spring Festival. I don't know where you start talking about 'taking up all the good things'?"

After finishing speaking, Wang Changtian pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and stared at Fan Luyuan with narrowed eyes, a gloomy look deep in his eyes.

This guy holds a grudge!

………

The three people spoke out and pointed their guns at Alibaba Pictures and Fan Luyuan in a tacit understanding.

Song Ge and other leaders of the private sector all changed their expressions here, and were confused and confused. For a moment, they didn't know whether to speak out or whether to adjust the atmosphere.

Han Dong, Kang Yu, and Zhang Hongsen were sitting on their arms watching.

Zhang Hongsen also lit a cigarette and smoked it, as if he didn't start the conversation just now.

Only Fan Luyuan's face turned red. He frowned and sneered for a while, and his lungs were filled with anger.

Angry eyes passed over the faces of Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, and Wang Changtian one by one, and they remembered their appearance deeply.

Immediately, Fan Luyuan's eyes suddenly condensed, staring at Fang Ziheng who did not speak.

Come!

come!

The first three are all good, and you, Fang Laoliu, are no exception!

At this moment, Fan Luyuan seemed to be possessed by the God of War, wanting to stand alone in the world and overthrow the four giants' control of the film market.

Needless to say, his strong demeanor really shocked the others.

At this time, everyone realized that something was wrong with Hengyu, Huayi, Bona, and Guangxian. There was something wrong.

At the very least, the four film and television companies have an internal coordination!

Otherwise, Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, and Wang Changtian would not be like a cat stepping on its tail just now.

Now, let’s see what Hengyu says?

In an instant, everyone followed Fan Luyuan and stared at Fang Ziheng's young and handsome face.
