China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 139 China Film Investment [[-]-in-[-]]

Beijing, China Film Group, morning.

Wang Bo walked into the general manager's office holding a stack of documents and reports.

"Han Dong!"

When Han Sanping heard this title, he glared at Wang Bo, then waved his hands slightly and said slightly seriously:

"The official appointment and dismissal notice from the organization has not been issued yet, so don't talk nonsense."

However, the wrinkles jumping at the corners of his eyes gave him away. It was obvious that Han Sanping was still in a good mood at the moment.

In 1999, China Film Group Corporation was established. As the deputy director of Beijing Film Studio, Han Sanping served as the group's vice chairman and deputy general manager. He was responsible for the group's production link and was tasked with allowing China Film to carry out business restructuring and development in accordance with the development requirements of the corporate system. Asset integration and reform of the property rights system.

Since the new century, under his leadership, the Chinese film industry has quickly followed the pulse of the times, launched commercial operations, and cultivated "Hero", "Big Bowl", "New Police Story", "Myth", " "The Promise" and other large-scale commercial films.

Regardless of the film's evaluation, these films have indeed made an indelible contribution to the entire Chinese film market.

It has greatly enriched the people's spiritual entertainment life.

In 2007, the eighth year since the establishment of China Film Group, in order to continue to deepen the market-oriented operation of China's film industry, China's largest film and television production company began a change of leadership team.

Various internal news circulated, among which the most mainstream voice was that Han Sanping would be the head of the group and lead the China Film Group to continue their efforts, which would accelerate the entry of Chinese films into the era of mature blockbusters.

As the saying goes, "there is no smoke without fire".

Rumors of leadership changes within the system always come faster than formal announcements of resignation.

Ultimately, no one knows where the news comes from.

But often the final result is always surprisingly consistent with the rumors.

The office secretaries, as the "prophet of spring water heating ducks", are more sensitive to this kind of news. Obviously Wang Bo has already determined that Han Sanping will make further progress.

At present, Han Sanping just scolded him softly and did not refuse.

Obviously, this matter is already a done deal.

Wang Bo smiled modestly, but did not change his words.

"Director Han, here are the movie release plans for the next two months of this year. Please take a look."

Han Sanping glanced at Wang Bo and said nothing. Instead, he took the document very naturally and started reading it.

Wang Bo was secretly happy and introduced:

"Director Han, in the next two months, most of the movies will be imported movies from Europe and the United States, including "007: Casino Royale", "Fighter", "Night at the Museum", "The Devil Wears Prada" and the Korean hit film "The Monster from the Han River". "

"There are only two domestic films that can be considered serious commercial productions, namely "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" and "Love Call Transfer."

After the introduction, Wang Bo sat up straight and stopped talking.

Han Sanping remained calm and continued to read the reports.

After a while, he raised his head and sighed slightly.

Wang Bo looked at Han Sanping and raised his hand to gently rub his eyebrows, with his eyes closed tightly, looking sad. Although he understood roughly in his heart, he still pretended not to understand and asked:
"Director Han, are you worried about something?"

When a person is sad, he will express his troubles and misfortunes with great urgency.Leaders are also human beings. At this time, they need someone willing to listen.

Han Sanping sighed with emotion.

"Tsk, there's still a long way to go."

"You mean?"

Wang Bo followed up in a timely manner, not only expressing his own thinking, but also not interrupting the leader's opportunity to speak.

"Well, imported Hollywood films are coming one after another, and the commercial production of Chinese-language films is far from keeping up. I can hardly defend my own home."

Wang Bo nodded deeply.

"It's true, not only the quantity can't keep up, not to mention the quality, I see those directors in their early years, none of them understand the above intention, blindly live in their own world, and rely on literary and artistic films Not letting go, not willing to take half a step forward.”

After hearing this, Han Sanping frowned slightly, shook his head slowly and said:

"It can't be so extreme. Literary films are also part of film art. However, under the current situation, literary films cannot withstand the impact of Hollywood commercial films. Film marketization can only rely on commercial production. Now we place our hope on the younger generation. director."

Wang Bo's mind changed slightly and he asked tentatively.

"Director Han, do you still remember Sun Yi?"

"Ok?"

"He submitted a new project before, and it has just been approved by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television."

"Oh? What project?"

Han Sanping was a little curious.

"Wait a moment, I'll get the backup file."

"Ah."

After that, Wang Bo stood up and walked out of the office, and returned after a moment.

It can be seen that it has obviously been prepared in advance.

Han Sanping took the script file and opened it gently.

""The Human Comedy""

Generally speaking, the initial review of a movie script is not difficult, and it does not require a final version. As long as there is a complete story framework, a background introduction to the main characters, and a summary of the main plot in the script, it is basically fine. Passed the review.

Usually what we mean by failing to pass the review is the finished film review, that is to say, after the entire film is shot, it is submitted to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for review again.

This is the most difficult level.

In about twenty minutes, Han finished reading the three screens, turned back to the first page of the script, and chuckled.

"Humph, "Human Comedy"? Throughout the whole story, none of it is a happy event, all are tragic stories, but it's just covered in a comedy skin. This guy is pretty good at packaging it."

Wang Bo also laughed and said:

"Yes, Director Han, when I first read it, I thought the name didn't quite fit, but I think the story is pretty good."

Han Sanping thought about it for a moment, nodded and said:
"Well, the story is good. It focuses on the joys and sorrows of the little people. According to the label, we are also planning to use multi-line narrative filming, adding elements of dialect and black humor. This guy is going to compete with "Crazy Stone", a youth-themed movie, which will be released soon. Even if you change your style, you won’t be afraid of showing off your waist.”

"What Director Han said is that the style change is really big."

Han Sanping rubbed his chin and started thinking.

He was thinking whether to give this young man Sun Yi a chance.

After thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly became firm, he raised his finger and pointed at Wang Bo, and said slowly:

"We still need to give him some support to see how good this kid is." After saying this, he paused, and then said decisively:

"In this way, you go ahead and tell him that the name should be changed to one that better fits the storyline. China Film Group can participate in the investment, and it should not be less than 30.00%. If he can film it and release it within this year, I will make the decision and give it to him. Reduce it by five points, only ten percent."

"I understand, Director Han."

Wang Bo was very surprised after hearing this. He was impressed by Han Dong's courage. He stood up and bowed slightly before turning and leaving.

Han Sanping stared at the script on the table with sharp eyes, his mind lost in thoughts.

Boy, the opportunity is given to you, let’s see if you can seize it.

Deshengmennei Street, Sun Yi Film and Television Culture Studio.

Sun Yi was lying comfortably on the sofa in the rest area, boasting about everything he had with the studio's copyright assistant, Liu Heng.

Yang Fan was sitting in the corner, texting with a mean smile on his face.

There was a sour smell of love in the air.

Disgusting!

Sun Yi and Yang Fan chatted for a long time in the morning, and it was already 1 p.m. before they finished lunch.Everyone is digesting food.

Only Sheng He couldn't stop himself. He had cleaned the first floor in the morning and even wiped Sun Yi's car spontaneously.Now he started cleaning the second floor again. Sun Yi couldn't persuade him no matter how hard he tried, so he simply let it go.

"Xiao Yi, do you know "Zhu Xian"?"

"I know this too well. Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as stupid dogs. How classic."

"Zhu Xian" is known as the "Three Wonderful Books on the Internet" along with "Journey to Piao Miao" and "Legend of Xiao Bing", and is also called "the martial arts bible of the post-Jin Yong era."

"It's over, I think we should keep the copyright."

"Okay, Senior Brother Liu, I trust your vision. Take it and enrich the studio's copyright library first, and then wait and see the situation for production later."

If you encounter something you must win, there is no reason to miss it.

Liu Heng nodded silently, and he was very grateful for Sun Yi's support.

He is now completely focused on his work. He goes to various literary forums and magazines every day to collect stories that he thinks are great.

"By the way, Xiaoyi, I think our studio can't just hoard this kind of future copyrighted works, like "Zhu Xian" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". Such works are difficult to produce in the current film and television environment. .”

"I think we should also pay attention to the various problems faced by young people in their lives today. This type of subject matter is also very popular. The recently popular "Struggle" is of this type, and the overall ratings are very high."

"We can keep up with the current times. For example, houses everywhere are rising rapidly, and the speed of saving money can never keep up with the increase in house prices. We can combine young people's views on mate selection and marriage to create a realistic-themed movie work."

After hearing this, Sun Yi agreed very much.

Senior Brother Liu has always had a keen eye and is very capable of catching current hot topics.

I definitely don't have time to copy this type of script, and given the current scale of the studio, it's not appropriate to expand and recruit a group of full-time screenwriters in a short period of time.

But screenwriting can be outsourced.

"Senior Brother Liu, you can contact some teachers or other senior brothers and sisters. We will come up with the theme and requirements and ask them to customize the script. Then we will accept it."

Liu Heng's eyes lit up after hearing this.

is a way.

There are so many talented screenwriters in China, but those who can make it through are really rare. It’s not that they don’t have the ability, but that they don’t have the opportunity. Therefore, many competent screenwriters usually take on popular jobs.

While discussing with Senior Brother Liu, suddenly a burst of pleasant music sounded.

"If I could do it all over again, I would choose Li Bai,
At least I can still write poems to express my excitement and amuse the girls.
If I could do it all over again, I would choose Li Bai,
Creation can reach such a high level and be admired by so many people.”

It's Sun Yi's cell phone ringtone.

Sun Yi took it out and saw that Director Wang of China Film Group quickly made a silent gesture and pressed answer.

"Hello, Director Wang, why did you remember to call me today?"

"Oh, that's what I said. Don't bother me. No matter how busy I am, I will answer your call."

"Yes, yes."

"Hey, we haven't started the specific preparations yet. Currently we only have the first version of the script."

"Hmm~, yes, I'm going to direct it myself."

Sun Yi frowned slightly, wondering what Director Wang Bo of China Film Group meant by calling him. He asked about the situation of "Human Comedy" for a long time, but the next words made him widen his eyes.

"Well, China Film Investment? Distribution"

After hearing what Sun Yi said about China Film Investment and Distribution, Yang Fan stopped sending text messages, put down his phone and stared at Sun Yi intently.

"Well, okay, I understand. Let's speed up and start preparations immediately."

"Well, thank you very much, Director Wang. Okay, see you later."

As soon as Sun Yi put down the phone, Yang Fan came over.

"What's the matter, what's the situation?"

Sun Yi pretended to be profound and said with emotion:
"We still have some reputation. China Film has taken a fancy to our project and is prepared to invest 30.00%. If we step up production and release it within the year, China Film will be fully responsible for the schedule and production, and the distribution share will be five times lower than that of "Those Years" One percent, just ten percent.”

"Damn, there's such a good thing."

The excitement on Yang Fan's face was beyond words.

Even though China Film Group asked for 30.00% of the investment share, these days, at least 10 or 7 of the 8 movies must be money-losers. Before the movie is released, anyone who dares to be sure will make money. China Film Group dares to invest, which shows that it has great influence on Sun. The entire team at Yi Studio is very optimistic.

So Yang Fan was very happy to hear the news.

And Sun Yi was also very happy.

Although he believes that more than 90.00% of this film will make money, there is still [-]%, just in case, right?

Besides, he didn’t have the tiger skins of Beijing Film Academy and Youth Film Studio to cover this movie. He had to go to the southwest for casting, and he was really unfamiliar with the place there.

If anything goes wrong, the losses will be huge.

Things are different now. With the endorsement of China Film Group, film and television cities and related units in various places, and even local governments, have to give some support and cooperate. This has solved a big problem invisibly.

"Brother Fan, are everyone from the production team here?"

"It's all there."

"Hurry up and let everyone prepare. In half an hour, there will be a project preparatory meeting in the multi-functional conference room. We have to speed up."

"Okay, I'll call someone right now."

The studio is not big, just downstairs. After a while, everyone was notified. After a while, they came to the multi-functional conference room on the second floor with script-related materials and notebooks one after another.

When the time was almost up, Sun Yi stood up and wrote four big characters on the small blackboard behind him.

"The Unknown"

"Xiao Yi, isn't it "Human Comedy"?"

Yang Fan was a little confused and asked directly.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. For the previous "Human Comedy", China Film Group meant that the name was not appropriate to the overall story content, so I just thought of a new name, and the story turned out to be about a group of all kinds of people. Little guy, let’s call it ‘Nobody’.”

That's right, Sun Yi chose the story of the later classic movie "The Unknown Man". The original script of this story was called "Human Comedy". Sun Yi felt that it had a contrasting black sense of humor, so he chose this name.

Moreover, when a film project is reviewed for the first time, for various reasons, a name will be given that is different from the final release version.

Unexpectedly, before I even came to make urgent changes, I was rejected by China Film.

If this is the case, then let’s call it “The Unknown Man”.

Yang Fan recited the name silently twice in his mind, and then blurted out:

"Yes, this is very good and very appropriate."

Everyone in the conference room nodded in agreement.

"Okay then, this movie will be our studio's only next movie project. Today we will directly hold a project preparation meeting, seize the time, and try to use the last more than a month of the year to complete the preparation work. After the year, we will directly Start shooting."

"Next, let me talk about the prospecting situation first."

Just as Sun Yi was talking enthusiastically, there was a sudden knock on the door of the conference room.

Assistant Xiaoting walked in a little awkwardly and said softly:

"Brother Yi, someone is looking for you downstairs."

"Who is looking for me?"

"Uh, it seems to be Liu Yifei."

"Who?!"

　Ask for recommendations, ask for monthly tickets, ask for subscriptions.

　　Thank you!
