At the meeting, there were also fierce discussions and arguments, which were very lively.

Some people were waiting and watching, shouting, "It would be useless to increase the quota and not let go of the review." "Will the review and inspection system of film creation be loosened accordingly? Otherwise, a group of film colleagues were shackled and fought with American special forces armed to their teeth. Imagine this tragic scene, which is quite a bit of American blockbusters!", "If you don't make corresponding reforms in the censorship system and hierarchical system, Chinese movies should not die too quickly! Don't look at the recent popularity of "Painted Skin 2" and "The Four Famous Captains" and cannot save China by using costume films..."

The following was noisy and the leaders were bothered.

The quota has indeed increased, but how to introduce and how to arrange the schedule is a headache.

Some people even shouted indignantly, "Who has the country protected the month of production, and they have protected all Hollywood blockbusters."

This is indeed a serious mistake in execution. These big guys are all so rich that they can't care about the face of being an official. There are many people who should scold them. So that they know that Feng Xiaogang is not the only one who can curse people.

The leader was irritated and suddenly saw Li Donglai who was listening to him, so he just grabbed the bag, "How does director Li Donglai think about introducing this? As we all know, your movie has been screened all over the world."

Li Donglai was stunned, but he didn't expect to answer the question with a name.

The field suddenly became quiet, and all his eyes looked at Li Donglai.

"Ahem," Li Donglai moistened his throat, took a glass of water handed over by Maisha, took a sip and said: "Since the agreement has taken effect, it is useless for everyone to express their indignation about the number of 34 movies. I agree with the introduction of 34 movies..."

"Of course you agree, all the screenings are from your Phantom." I don't know who it was, but I got used to the big mouth. I used to it.

Li Donglai's face remained unchanged at all, and he smiled and said, "This is wrong. Even the Phantom movies are not all introduced. We all follow the process. Just like my blockbuster movie "Hangover" has won more than 700 million yuan in the world, and "Teddy Bear" has exceeded 600 million yuan in the box office, and we still will not be introduced. We have no complaints. Since the rules cannot be changed, we can only follow the rules."

People below are even more disdainful. "Your film market has already spread to the world, so naturally I don't care about the box office in the mainland."

"This idea is wrong. Even DreamWorks is eager to start a company in China. How could we not care about us? "Li Donglai retorted without hesitation. "The total box office this year may exceed 15 billion, and next year it will exceed 20 billion. Now the domestic film market is getting bigger and bigger. One day, when domestic films have a single film that exceeds 1 billion yuan. Even 1 billion is nothing. The 2 billion yuan box office is not far away. The person who says such words is obviously an outsider. I suggest that he should not engage in film-related jobs in the future."

His words were merciless, and it also made people know that he was not just a young man, but he would still scold people if he was angry. No matter who answered the words just now, he was not interested in knowing them.

The scene paused for a while, and it was rare that no one answered, and even the person who was directly despised by Li Donglai just now remained silent.

Li Donglai smiled and continued: "Let's go back to the topic."

"I think the quota of 34 movies is not a big problem. It's just that you need to think more about the types. Are all Hollywood box office blockbusters introduced? Actually, it's not. We have many choices. We don't have to focus on high-box movies. Introduce more genre films and art films, and give such good movies a certain quota, so that the audience can enjoy the movie. Just like the movie "Super Out of Control" released at the beginning of this year, who dared to shoot pseudo-documentary films in the past? We did it and filled the gap in pseudo-documentary films for domestic movies. What's the result? The box office is not very good, which proves that everyone doesn't necessarily have to watch blockbusters. Especially for some viewers who don't like blockbusters, if you watch too many foreign art films and genre films, you can also increase the interest of niche movie viewers in the movie. In this way, domestic directors will not shoot small-cost works in the future, and will not have a box office of tens of thousands a day, and will eventually fail."

As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent for a long time. Many people nodded and agreed with Li Donglai's suggestion.

Li Donglai seemed to be talking, and he couldn't stop as soon as he opened his mouth. Even the leader on the stage was about to speak, but Li Donglai shouted and was blocked back, so he couldn't save face.

He continued to speak freely and said, "Of course, the increase in the number of films introduced is a good thing for the theater owners. To be honest, our Phantom Cinemas are all stepping up the construction of theaters, at least the theaters are not open yet. Do theaters want to give up production? No, even Wanda has started producing, who is willing to give up and play movies for others. I think that only by always adhering to local culture and local movies, Chinese films will have a day of rise. Of course, we cannot work behind closed doors. There are many places that should be learned from Hollywood. China will never be able to make blockbusters recognized by the world. And this period is not too far away, right in front of us..."

Speaking of this, he started to be cynical again, with a smile on his face, stood up and bowed to the four sides and said, "My brother, the first Mandarin science fiction film directed by me, "Gravity", starring King Liu Dehua and Queen Maggie Cheung, will be released globally in October next year. I bowed to you and thanked the bosses of the theater. The movie is guaranteed to be absolutely good. At that time, it is necessary to join forces, at least not to make the box office in the mainland lower than North America. We should also let Hollywood see the charm of our domestic blockbusters. I will go out and explore the way first. When the Americans recognize the faces of Chinese actors, it will be much smoother for everyone to go out in the future."

Wang Jianlin gave face and said with a smile: "In October next year, Wanda Cinema will leave you a gap."

Li Donglai laughed again, "Then thank you brother, I'll invite you to drink...I'll drink juice."

"Haha." Many people burst into laughter.

Li Donglai started his business on the spot, which made the leaders on the stage cough, "Director Li Donglai, we are still discussing in the meeting."

"Oh, OK. I'm off the topic. I'll forgive you."

...

After discussion, Li Donglai's proposal was finally recognized.

The increase in the number of art films and genre films is to ensure that such films will be released every year. This result made a lot of filmmakers sigh, who said that Jiang is old and famous? He can become famous at a young age and start from scratch to his current wealth, but it is indeed not because of luck.

Anyway, this agreement made Hollywood crazy.

The passage of the agreement also quickly received positive responses from many Hollywood film companies.

Walt Disney CEO Bob Igor and DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Kazanberg said that the passage of this agreement will significantly break the ice between China and the United States' film exchanges, and is a new initiative with great positive effect.

In addition, US media analyzed that the passage of this agreement will bring a revenue increase of hundreds of millions of dollars to the US film industry every year. After the share share ratio increases by 12%, each Hollywood movie is expected to receive an additional $20 to 40 million in China, and 3D production movies and imax movies will also receive higher returns in China.

The chairman and executive president of the MPAA, the industry association with the most influential in the American film industry, shouted "This is a landmark agreement! This is definitely a huge news for the American film industry and those who serve the American entertainment industry!"

The reports of these news are definitely spreading salt to the wounds of Chinese filmmakers.

The facts have come true, they can only catch up with them, and there is no other way.

However, the entire meeting was still very secretive about the third license, and even denied it. But the news would not appear for no reason, and there would be no waves. Someone must be prying open the wall.

Among them, the most fierce competition is still a state-owned enterprise, China Culture, Arts and Arts Co., Ltd.

They are in the state-owned enterprise, and in the Ministry of Culture, the National Political Association, the Propaganda Department and the General Administration of the Guangzhou Government. They look down on private enterprises at all when they compete. They are simply a biting a dog, showing their ugly appearance.

Li Donglai also understood it clearly. It is a dream for civil-operated enterprises to obtain the right to introduce and issue.

At least the Phantom is not strong enough to influence Chinese films. If the films in the mainland are firmly occupying the top five in the box office list every year like South Korea, everything is easy to say. Now we can only wait for the Phantom’s large-scale movie release next year before seeing if there is a turning point.

Looking at the first half of this year, overseas media (actually mainly American media) began to "think about" the Chinese market. First, they reported that the number of places to introduce blockbusters may increase by 10, and then they reported that the power to introduce and distribute imported films will be relaxed, causing chaos in the domestic media, constantly asking for verification from the Film and Film Bureau, and then they were denied one by one.

The essence behind this is actually that overseas companies are eager to further open up the Chinese market. After all, China is now the second largest film market in the world, so overseas media naturally follow the flames and constantly put pressure on China, striking indirectly, and making a fuss about whether there are dates or not.

Another industry insider said that the amount of 34 blockbusters introduced every year was discussed by a major leader in the United States. However, the relevant policies for introducing films were not decided separately by the national news, publication, broadcasting, radio, and general bureau leaders touched their heads. It involves the cultural strategy of the entire country, so how could it be so easy to let go?
