Since 1983

Chapter 923 Application for Project Approval

The first Golden Wutong Awards are over.

It is too exaggerated to talk about milestone significance. It is only one year, and word of mouth is based on accumulation.

But the audience is already very excited, finally there are no double yolk eggs!

The nominations of the Golden Rooster have also been announced. In terms of organizational order, star quality, and atmosphere, the Golden Rooster is not going to struggle.

And the discussion on the Internet is in full swing, and the main real boss has made an public appearance.

"I didn't know this one before, I just went to Sogou Encyclopedia to look it up, shit! I can only shit!"

"Damn it!"

"As far as the long list of works is concerned, I can only say that Mr. Xu has contracted my childhood. I would like to call Xu Baba sincerely!"

"Bah! The upstairs is to seize the family property! Xu Baba, I am your long-lost daughter. I don't want the family property. Just give me 10,000 pocket money every month!"

"One thing to say, it turns out that he is the one who casts so many awesome films."

"Yeah, I was shocked too! Even "Virus" is his script, no wonder he can invite Japanese and Korean stars."

"Hey, do you know why there are so many superstars cheering? The water here is very deep, so it's natural to understand."

"Then can we look forward to Leonardo, Tom Cruise, Kimura Takuya, Kim Hee Sun in the future?"

"It is necessary. In the future, stars will score divisions when they come over, such as Europe, America, Japan, South Korea, and domestic production."

"..."

"There's something wrong with you!"

The emergence of LSP quickly made everyone crooked.

Immediately afterwards, the real master erupted: "You are all outdated! Who still watches overseas now? Domestic resources are on the rise, please support local productions."

"The Great God is right, support the local industry!"

So one party appealed, and all parties responded:

"Support the Chinese film industry!"

…………

Xu Fei said at the ceremony that private funding will be released.

At that time, the document had not yet been issued, but the official had confirmed that this was the case, and it was not considered a violation.

Immediately after October, radio and television made a big move, and policies were announced like snowflakes.

It roughly means: private capital can produce films independently, and there is no need to cooperate with state-owned units; at the same time, distribution companies and theaters can be established independently.

Following the first result, six companies, BJ Acorn, Shanghai Palme d'Or, Guangdong Yamato, Chengdu Eying, BJ Alliance Entertainment, and China Huayi Audiovisual, obtained the first batch of distribution licenses.

It used to be a pilot, but now it's official.

The original Bona-Yu Dong and the new picture-Zhang Weiping have been slapped away.

The second result is that Times Media announced the establishment of its own theater chain company, relying on Daduhui, the first batch of 39 first-class theaters to go online.

A stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Because the three-year contract has come to an end, next year there will be a second round of theater restructuring. Several powerful state-owned enterprises and private enterprises rushed in, merged vertically and horizontally, acquired and merged.

For example, Poly Group announced that it will acquire a 51% stake in Chongqing Wanhe Cinemas, which will be renamed Poly Wanhe after the reorganization. And will invest 40 million to upgrade the theater.

Another example is Wanda, which also announced its entry into the film and television industry. Lao Wang's strength is still small, and he can only produce 5 theaters under his banner. It is said that he is studying capital injection with the Chang Cinema Line.

Another example is China Film Group, which is leading the merger of BJ New Film Federation and Liaoning Northern Cinemas, and the merger of Huaying Southern Cinemas into China Film Shinkansen Cinemas...

Wu Mengchen is best at doing this, turning clouds and rains inside.

If successful, there will be 7 theater chains in which China Film Group holds shares and controlling shares, truly giants!

At the same time, the creation is also loosened.

Such as script project.

Except for major revolutionary and historical themes, co-productions, and special-themed films (foreign-related, religious, military, public security, judicial), other works do not need to provide a complete script, but an outline of no less than 1,000 words is sufficient.

Look at both sides of everything.

On the one hand, improving efficiency and encouraging filming can indeed increase enthusiasm.

But when the market reaches a certain level, there will be a lot of rotten fish and shrimp.

You don't even need a complete script for the official trial, why do I need it for filming? Get an outline, set up the project, and find a few traffic, and the funds will come naturally.

The result is: the role of the screenwriter is greatly weakened, and the quality of the film is difficult to guarantee.

After this policy was announced, the first co-production script received by the Film Bureau was Xu Fei's.

………………

Film Bureau, a certain room.

There is a complete script on the table.

"Title: "Cannon Earth""

"Producer: China Film, Times Media, Sunshine Films (Hong Kong), Cactus Films (US)"

The person in charge of the review sighed. After the script was delivered, he read it twice and touched it with several colleagues, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

He packed a folder, attached his review, and got up to leave.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in!"

"Ju Tong!"

He handed over the documents and said, "Our office has no clue, and I have to ask you to decide."

"Leave it here."

Tong Gang responded, continued to work on the task at hand, and picked it up at the end.

At first glance, it was a script, and then at the name and producer, I immediately focused. Sitting for a long time, until I got off work, I finally finished reading the thick book.

To be honest, he didn't know how to do it either.

This is science fiction!

As early as 1938, Xinhua Films made "Shanghai Beach Sixty Years Later", China's first science fiction film.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1958, Beijing Film Studio made a "Fantasy of the Ming Tombs Reservoir".

Looking at the title of the film, I thought it was the hard work of the working people to build the reservoir. No, it predicted technologies such as laptops, iPads, and video calls, crude but creative.

Chinese films, including sci-fi films, have always suffered and lacked a long and stable period of development.

Finally, in the 1980s, the thoughts were agitated and released to the fullest, and excellent works such as "Thunderbolt Beibei", "The Invisible Doctor" and "Dead Light on Coral Island" were born.

Then he was cut in half by the Changsha meeting.

Until now, it seems that another movie dawn has come, but very few people want to make science fiction films.

I dare not shoot, it is not easy to shoot, financial and technical difficulties... are all reasons.

And is there really a lack of sci-fi audiences in China?

No, on the contrary, there are a lot of sci-fi fans.

"call!"

Tong Gang lit a cigarette, took a few puffs and held it in his hand, and flipped through certain pages again.

When science fiction films involve politics, it is easy to touch mines.

What "Earth Cannon" talked about, he extracted a few words: resource exhaustion, common development of mankind, inward or outward, Chinese scientists...

The script consciously avoids some minefields, but the matter is too big for him to make arbitrarily decisive decisions.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in!"

The next day, Tong Gang entered the office of Director Xu of Radio and Television, and said, "I'm not sure about this film, so I have to ask you to decide."

"Leave it alone."

Leader Xu is baffled, how did a script find me?

Then he looked.

Oops, this is a big matter, so I have to find a propaganda outlet to study it.

...

Xu Fei is still waiting.

The script was submitted, and it took 20 working days to reply, but it was almost 20 days, and there was no movement.

I had to call Tong Gang, it was very complicated there.

"We are still studying it. Some superiors have heard about it and are very interested. Anyway, we are still studying it."

Hang up in a daze.

Immediately after, Leader Xu called again: "If not, why don't you come over and explain it face to face."

Um?
