Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 245 Ten Imported Movies
The bright moon was hanging in the night sky, and silver flowers were scattered all over the ground. Chen Qiming and Jackie Chan walked out of the hotel together, said goodbye to each other at the door, and then got into their own cars and left in different directions.

"Do you think Chen Qiming will agree?"

Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Jackie Chan and Tang Jili got into a car.

Tang Jili was in charge of driving, Jackie Chan was in the co-driver, and Zou and He were in the back seat.

After getting in the car, He Guanchang opened the window and waved goodbye to Chen Qiming who was not far away, while asking several people in the car.

"It's hard to say! After all, he is from Baodao, and he has his own background. I'm afraid it's unlikely to cooperate with us!"

Zou Wenhuai pondered for a while and said.

Hong Kong and Taiwan!Although Hong Kong and Taiwan have always been regarded as a circle.

But the circles in Hong Kong and Taiwan are always different.

Chen Qiming was born in Taiwan and made his debut in Taiwan. The main direction of his record business is also Mandarin records.

This makes his background contacts are concentrated in Baodao.

And there are also film companies on Baodao that may want to cooperate with Chen Qiming to make films and distribute them in Europe and the United States.

Under such circumstances, it is not an easy task for Chen Qiming to abandon the film and television company in Baodao and cooperate with Golden Harvest instead.

"I don't think so!"

At this time, Jackie Chan in the co-driver suddenly made a sound.

He touched his big nose and said, "He didn't refuse just now, which means he should have an idea.

Moreover, in terms of production ability, our Golden Harvest's strength is obvious to all.

I'm not crazy about Baodao's film production ability.

To be honest, their film production ability is more than a step behind that of Hong Kong.

Since Chen Qiming can think of cooperating with Time Warner, it should not be limited to one circle. "

After a pause, Jackie Chan said with some firm eyes: "Actually, it doesn't matter even if he disagrees.

I am very confident in the movie "Red Fan District".

I believe I can break into Hollywood on my own.

It's the same with or without the full support of Time Warner! "

……

In the car.

Chen Qiming played with the birthday party invitation letter given by Zou Wenhuai, and his thoughts kept rolling.

This invitation letter represents not only a certificate to attend the birthday party, but also an invitation letter to enter the circle of Hong Kong film and television industry tycoons.

As the price for entering the circle, what Chen Qiming needs to pay is to give up a part of the project leadership with Time Warner to Golden Harvest.

If Chen Qiming is willing to pay this price, on Zou Wenhuai's birthday, he can take this invitation letter to attend Zou Wenhuai's 67th birthday party.

If he doesn't want to, he naturally doesn't have to go, which means he will be cut off from this circle.

This is a choice, a choice given to Chen Qiming by a film industry boss.

But now, Chen Qiming was considering whether he should agree or not.

Agree, I may be squeezed into the circle of Hong Kong bigwigs.

If you disagree, you may face exclusion from the Hong Kong show business circle.

Yes, it is exclusion.

It may not be the whole of Hong Kong, but Golden Harvest will definitely crowd him out.

Don't underestimate Jiahe.

As the leaders of the current film industry, if they squeezed out Chen Qiming, they would definitely bring Chen Qiming a lot of trouble.

but……

After playing with the invitation letter for a while, Chen Qiming shook his head and put the invitation letter on the seat next to him.

He is a young man, and he can't bear this kind of threatening behavior.

Zou Wenhuai's obvious threatening approach really made him very upset.

Therefore, he does not plan to attend this banquet.

Well, in this way, Jiahe might indeed be offended.

But for Chen Qiming, he really didn't care too much.

Since his debut, he has intersected with Golden Harvest.

But not much.

His achievements did not rely on Jiahe either.

To be honest, Jiahe's ostracism had little effect on him.

And, if Chen Qiming remembers correctly.

In the dream, Golden Harvest will continue to decline in the next few years.

It's not just Golden Harvest, the entire Hong Kong movie industry is in decline, but it's another market...

Chen Qiming couldn't help but flicker his eyes when he thought of the billions of dollars in the mainland market in his dream.

Perhaps, he could just skip Hong Kong and start operating in the Mainland from now on.

In the past few years, the mainland has developed quite rapidly. Both the record market and the movie market have begun to develop.

In 1993, the radio and television department issued a document to reorganize the film mechanism, and then China Film Group Corporation was responsible for introducing foreign films for public release. The task of importing 10 foreign films per year, after many negotiations with Warner Pictures of the United States, determined that the first imported film was "The End of the World".

At present, the film has been confirmed to be introduced, and it will be released in the mainland on November 11.

Although this movie has not yet been released, according to the information in the dream, this movie will be Hollywood's first shot to open up the mainland market.

Then, next year, there will be a Hollywood film called "True Lies" which won a terrifying box office of 1.02 million RMB in one fell swoop in the mainland. Since then, the term Hollywood blockbuster has become the collective name for Hollywood movies in the mainland in the next ten years.

Not only "True Lies", but at the end of this year, that is, in January 1995, "Red Fan District", which Golden Harvest is currently producing, will also be introduced to the mainland.

A box office record of 9400 million yuan was set.

This also marks that the mainland market has officially begun to gradually replace Hong Kong and Taiwan, becoming the largest film market in the Chinese film industry.

In Chen Qiming's view, instead of cooperating with Golden Harvest, he might as well cooperate directly with the mainland.

Such as China Film Group.

In August, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television issued new regulations. From 8, China Film Corporation will introduce 1995 films that meet the two basic requirements every year in the form of split distribution.

That is to say, films that "basically reflect the outstanding achievements of the world's civilization and the latest achievements in film art and technology in the world today" are released in China, which is later commonly known as the "Ten Imported Blockbusters".

Referring to the internationally accepted form of box office accounting, the income sharing ratio of all parties involved in imported blockbuster films is 35% for the producer, 17% for the distributor, and 48% for the exhibitor.

The control of all this will be in the charge of China Film Group.

This also indirectly made China Film Group's status jump, and it became the object that many companies wanted to contact.

Chen Qiming is no exception.

However, it is precisely because China Film Group's status is different now that Chen Qiming has not yet contacted anyone there.

However, he has a cooperation with the Shanghai Film Studio, which has a relationship with China Film Group. He has already asked the company to contact them and make an appointment to meet the people from China Film Group.

Of course, the reason for this is that Chen Qiming must not only be in contact with China Film to connect with him, but another reason is that he is going to find a way to get the drama "The Wind and Cloud Heroes" released in the mainland.

Of course, the premise of all this depends on the release of this film in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places.

If the box office reputation is not good, no matter how good the relationship with China Film Group is, I am afraid that they will not introduce it.

After all, currently the mainland can only import ten films a year.

China Film must choose movies that can make money, or even hit the box office in other regions.
