1010: Giants Meeting
In addition, the movie "Beijing Meets Seattle" written and directed by director Xue Xiaolu has been officially confirmed to be starring Tang Wei, Wu Xiubo and Hai Qing. The filming will start soon, and several starring staff were invited to attend that day.
There is also the new movie "Chinese Partners" by the great director Chen Kexin will also be co-produced by his "Our Production Company" and "Phantom", starring Huang Xiaoming, Deng Ao and Tong Xiao-Tong, three first-line male stars. It will officially start filming and the movie is expected to be released next year.
On the day of the press conference, the big stars gathered together, and they were shining with stars.
Phantom's actions in China have always been very low-key in recent years. It is rare for many celebrities to gather together for big scenes like today. Chinese people like to do that kind of thing. Phantom actually did not deliberately accumulate stars, but it just happened.
After all, this year, in addition to the upcoming domestic film "Lost in Thailand" and the Hong Kong film "Cold War" that brings together a number of movie hero-level casts, there are not many domestic films this year.
But next year will be a little scary all of a sudden.
"Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons", "To Our Youth That Will Departure", "Di Renjie's God Capital Dragon King", "Chinese Partners", "Beijing Meets Seattle", etc., it is not ruled out that new plans will be added in the second half of the year.
Li Donglai took the time to attend the boss party initiated by radio and television.
The sake is red and the money is touching.
Seeing the Phantom snatching box office like crazy, the world is 2.1 billion, 1.8 billion, 1.1 billion... Often, the surrounding area quickly leverages more than five times the leverage, and Li Donglai's personal wealth is also snowballing and accumulating more and more. Some people can't sit still.
So this party was not as smooth as expected.
Li Donglai has developed too rapidly, which has led to the tendency of state-owned private companies to hold up and fight.
Huayi has no influence on Phantom overseas. Only when the production volume in China is slightly larger than Phantom, but that is also the case when Phantom has no force. Others such as Light and Bona are even left behind by Phantom, the rising star.
Even the TV series industry shocked the industry as soon as it took action. "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was premiered simultaneously on four stars, and the full broadcast was all popular. After watching this TV station, it changed to another one to continue watching. The number of broadcasts on the Internet has continued to rise, and it has almost reached 5 billion people. Not to mention "The Voice of China" that has become popular all over the country.
The blueprint of the Phantom Entertainment Empire is gradually unfolding, and only major companies are left to start grabbing territory and sharing the cake. In the past, they were the bosses, but now they have to work hard to grab the edges and corners, and no one can do it.
Therefore, we will also pay more attention to the competition for this introduction license.
Li Donglai also participated in such a meeting led by a corrupt department for the first time. He brought several assistants, some proficient in law and some proficient in domestic markets, and of course his private accounting, Maisieha is indispensable.
As a result, when I entered the venue, I found that I had the biggest show. However, it seemed too artificial to quit at this time. I simply confirmed the big name.
He pinched his nose and greeted the big guys.
He is looking at the new, and others look at the new. It doesn’t matter if there are too many assistants, but who is really a big name? Wanda boss Wang Jianlin and Zhongying boss Han Sanshu and other acquaintances greet each other warmly.
"Brother, you have a big show. There is also a foreign assistant." Wang Jianlin teased.
Li Donglai waved his hand straight, "I feel ashamed. I don't know what the meeting said, so I have to be prepared for it. I will make everyone laugh."
Uncle Han San knew that Li Donglai really didn't know. So he explained to him, "This time it was mainly about ventilation. Even if you really wanted to compete, it would not be implemented in public at the meeting. This is the official rule, and they always have 'private time'. You will slowly understand it in the future."
Maisieha is proficient in Chinese, and after hearing his words, he couldn't help but say, "It's too inefficient to do this, and it's useless to waste everyone's time. It's easy to breed **."
Li Donglai quickly covered the woman's mouth, and she almost bit her hard. He smiled and said, "I laughed at you, and I don't know the national conditions. If you forgive me, I will be fine."
He was a big shot and was humble and had no airs, and there was nothing to say. Anyway, he was the youngest.
But those who are interested listen to Mai Siha's words and seek to use this to make small moves, which may become a bargaining chip to defeat the Phantom. Others who know some news also pay attention to Mai Sihalai. They all know that Li Donglai's acquisition of Amc TV station was really a sensation.
If the domestic private TV station quota is open, Li Donglai will definitely rush to grab it without hesitation. Even if it is far away from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the acquisition of Amc TV station will be a major event that shocked the whole country. Among them, it is involved in billions of high loans, which are said to be completed by this Middle East lady.
The Middle East has a concept of the whole world, and is so rich. They also began to guess Maisha's identity. Why is Li Donglai so lucky? There are always people around him with such great energy to help.
Wang Jianlin was the most direct person, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Ms. Maisieha." They had met several times when they were talking about business. Maisieha smiled and shook hands with him kindly.
Uncle Han San knew no one next to him, so he asked Wang Jianlin. Wang Jianlin smiled and introduced: "This is not an ordinary person. He is a private financial expert from Donglai. It is said to be related to the royal family of a certain country in the Middle East, but he is truly talented and knowledgeable and is also famous on Wall Street."
"Oh." Several big bosses suddenly became eager, wondering if it was appropriate to ask if she could accept other financial funds. Apart from movies, she was the one who made money in Li Donglai.
Everyone exchanged greetings for a while, and they didn't feel like they were wasting time when eating and drinking.
The meeting finally began. As soon as it came, the Radio and Television Bureau gave the boss a warning. They reiterated an incident that had been rumored and confirmed that China and the United States had reached some agreements on issues related to film industry exchanges and film culture development.
The main content includes: China will add 14 US imported blockbusters every year, mainly imax and 3D movies, which are called special account sharing blockbusters. That is to say, the quota for account sharing movies has increased from the original 20 (the Hollywood movies of these 20 must not exceed 80%) to 34.
In addition, the proportion of split-parts and split-parts will also increase from 13% to 25%.
The previous 13% share ratio was very small, so most of the profits of imported films were acquired by Zhongying and Huaxia, while the 25% ratio was relatively close to the international level. In this way, the profits of Hollywood blockbusters in the mainland doubled, and the attractiveness of the mainland market to Hollywood film manufacturers will be further enhanced. At the same time, it also means that Chinese-language films will face more cruel competition and severe tests.
The third article is the focus of this meeting: to increase the chances of Chinese private enterprises releasing imported films and break the situation of state-owned companies dominance in the past.
At the same time, American DreamWorks also announced that it would jointly establish an animation company with a total assets of US$330 million in Shanghai with three Chinese companies to build an "Oriental DreamWorks". China will hold a majority 55% stake, while American DreamWorks holds 45%.
The situation in 2012 is indeed a bit nervous for Chinese-language filmmakers, because more Hollywood blockbusters will be released simultaneously in the mainland this year, and the pressure is very high. Some people have begun to lobby for radio, television and China Film, hoping to seek a good schedule and try to avoid Hollywood blockbusters.
But there are also people who are eager to confront Hollywood blockbusters head-on, such as Li Donglai.
Even though he has a Hollywood company, he still regards the mainland Chinese market as a back garden and cannot tolerate others' involvement.
This is a mentality of a child being stolen from his favorite toys, and what he has in his own hands will never be as good as what others have.
If Chinese-language films want to establish a high-quality impression in the hearts of local audiences, they must have this kind of courage. We may not be able to do it well at the beginning, but with the increase in investment and the development of technology, the quality of Chinese-language films will gradually narrow the gap with Hollywood blockbusters.
The number of movies introduced every year will increase from 20 to 34.
Some people think that "the wolf is really here" this time, but some people think that it is not necessarily a bad thing for Chinese movies. They also give examples: "Didn't Taiwan movies be reborn after being destroyed by Hollywood for so many years?"
This news is of course a good thing for movie fans, but for domestic movies, it may be hit hard.
Wang Zhe, chairman of Starlight International Media, said on the spot: "The future of domestic film companies is even more difficult." Zhang Fan, head of mainland propaganda at Hong Kong Yindu Agency, said that this may "directly destroy half of the current Chinese film production industry. I hope everyone can unite and work hard to make their products. The actors will all report their pay rationally. If the film industry collapses, no one will be spared."
Some directors also think it is "a good thing".
Gao Qunshu said: "The opening of the Chinese film market to the United States is the destruction of filmmakers who rely on luck, so-called star lineup, rely on old capital, and rely on malicious hands to operate the market to achieve some kind of success. It is only a blessing for producers who improve the overall production level of Chinese films and comply with the rules of film. Although Chinese films are temporarily painful, it is a good thing in the long run." He Ping, director who once had in-depth cooperation with Columbia, said that the current test of Chinese films is the persistence of Chinese films.
Yin Hong, executive vice president of the School of Journalism and Communication at Tsinghua University, also said: "The big names in the film industry say it is worth looking forward to, and the people are even happier. To be honest, China's reforms are often forced by external forces, and movies are the same. This is called a Jedi survival."
"What's there to be afraid of?"
