997: The third license
“It’s about variety shows.”
Rodro opened the notebook and put it in front of him, "Didn't you tell me to buy some popular variety shows that can be adapted last year? We bought two days and one night in Korea. I am a singer and wait for the copyright of several programs. You don't let me move, so I don't touch it. In addition, we also inspected many Western variety shows, bought a famous Dutch TV program "thevoiceholland" and changed it to the Chinese version of "The Voice of China". I have been busy with this matter recently. It will be broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV next month. The buyout price they gave was too small, and we didn't agree if we didn't lack this amount of money. We used the American shooting and playback separation system. We are responsible for producing programs, Zhejiang Satellite TV broadcasts and the two sides share the advertising profits together. This is also a star-making program. We held several meetings before finally agreed."
"Well, you guys are doing well, do it well, I will pay attention to it then. Has the TV series that Mr. Zhu is responsible for on the airing?"
"It started broadcasting a long time ago, and the most popular in China is "The Legend of Zhen Huan"! The Internet is popular and the TV is popular. No fans talk about the Legend of Zhen Huan. Mr. Zhu is responsible for the TV series and became very popular in the first shot. Of course, it depends on your eyes, brother." Rodro has lost a lot recently and has a very successful demeanor when wearing glasses. He actually learned to compliment while speaking.
Li Donglai patted him on the shoulder and almost patted him down the tower. "Where are you, when will you have a child?"
"Hehe, it's almost gone. I'm pregnant."
"Okay. When the time comes, I will give you a big villa." Li Donglai said with gratitude. This little fat man who rented a house from Hengdian with him and left Korea. Now he can be considered as the only one. It doesn't matter if his performance doesn't improve much, because Li Donglai often asks him to do trivial matters. Whoever asks the old man to do things is to find trustworthy people.
He called Liu Dehua. He was the general manager of Beijing Phantom Company. Li Donglai was not in China most of the time, so he naturally had to worry more about the follow-up matters. He talked about "To Our Lost Youth" and "Beijing Meets Seattle".
"Since you're optimistic, you're definitely not wrong. I'll pay attention to the contacts later."
Liu Dehua said, and then suddenly heard a baby crying. Li Donglai was immediately happy. He had experienced many such things. "If it is not convenient, I will call him tomorrow?"
"Wait..." Liu Dehua was noisy, probably handing over the child to someone else. After a while, he said: "Chen Kexin wants to make a movie, but the investment is not small, everyone is from Hong Kong. I found the way I want to take the Phantom. I am a little unsure. Can you help me see the situation?"
"Haha, this is a good thing." Li Donglai was very happy. "Before I returned to China, I was worried about what movies the company will make next year. Now I don't need it. The directors come to him. This shows that our Phantom's reputation has been really made. Let's talk to Director Chen Kexin myself, you take care of the child first. I didn't give a gift even if my niece was born. Why don't she give me a gift if she turned one year old?"
"Hey, what gifts are not gifts? As long as you are willing, please pay attention to your email address, I will pass on the script to you and give you Chen Kexin's phone number."
...
Chen Kexin is definitely a big director in the Chinese-speaking circle.
In 1986, the director of "Heroes Without Tears" directed by Wu Yusen officially entered the film industry. In 1991, the director's debut "Two Cities Story" entered the ranks of directors. The works directed or produced so far include "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", "Sweet Honey", "If Love", "The Legend of the Fame", and "October Siege" and other films won multiple film awards. He is hailed as one of the most stylish and literary directors in Hong Kong, and won the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Best Director of the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards. It is only one short of the Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards.
And this time, he also focused on the booming mainland Chinese film market.
The reason why investment is quite large is relative. Compared with Li Donglai, such a little investment is nothing. It’s just that Liu Dehua used to make small fuss and saved money on everything, so he couldn’t make up his mind.
However, it is very easy for a big director like Chen Kexin to invest. He also opened a company himself. The reason why he wanted to find Phantom was to take the co-production route. The mainland investment share must account for a certain proportion, so he just needs to find a mainland film company.
The Chinese name of applau color-pictures, our production company is committed to promoting high-quality pan-Asian co-production films. The pan-Asian co-production film model founded by applau color-pictures is known as a commercial model of Asian films. It has also produced works such as "Late Girl" (2001), "Spring Falling" (2001), "Ghost" series (2002, 2004, 2005), "Three Updates" (2002), "Three Updates 2" (2004), "Golden Rooster" (2002), and "Golden Rooster 2" (2003).
Not unnamed.
People may not necessarily have to do with you.
This idea became even more certain after Li Donglai saw the script.
The big director is the big director, and this time he actually set his sights on mainland China in the 1980s.
It tells the inspirational story of three young people from the 1980s to the early 20th century, from the age of great times, meeting, meeting each other, having the same dream, working together to work hard, co-founding an English training school, and finally realizing their dreams after success. This story almost condenses the growth process of a generation of entrepreneurs, which is amazing.
Such a story cannot be filmed without sufficient investigation and good cultural accumulation. However, I don’t know how good his relationship with New Oriental is. It is a teaching case promotional film from New Oriental, but fortunately the story is pretty good.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence that the movies of Xue Xiaolu, Chen Kexin and Zhao Wei are all in such an era. Seattle’s prenatal version, the gay friend version of Youth, the teaching case of New Oriental; a slap in the face of the American Dream…
Haha, it will be great next year. I wonder if it is another sign that the movie will be a big hit?
Li Donglai is very busy in China. The plot about him in "Die Renjie" will not start shooting significantly before the end of the Olympics. Because time cannot be moved away. In addition to participating in training seriously and familiarizing with the rules of various competitions, the well-known variety show TV stations have invited him, hoping to let him participate in the show. Li Donglai declined one by one, "Sorry, I really can't get the time. There will be no such opportunity before the Olympics."
The Sports Bureau requested ccav5 to shoot documentaries in advance for athletes who may win the championship. Li Donglai is the top priority. But blind training is not his style. He has his own practice habits. It happened that the Chinese Film and Television will hold a gathering of several major theater businessmen and private film companies in China to discuss the introduction of future movies.
This is obviously a discussion to expand the number of imported films.
This meeting must be visited.
Moreover, China Film and China has been monopolizing the introduction of films for so many years, and it is time to break the monopoly. Since November 1994, "The Destiny of the World" starring Harrison Ford was released in China and became the first imported and shared blockbuster in the history of Chinese films. As a leading company in Chinese films, the power to introduce and distribute overseas blockbusters has been in the hands of China Film, making other state-owned or private film companies "envious, jealous and hateful".
In 2003, the second company that enjoys the power to issue imported blockbusters was born. The company was jointly invested by 19 enterprises and institutions, of which China Radio and Film Group, as the largest shareholder, holds 20% of the shares, China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group each hold 11%, Changchun Film Group holds 10%, and the rest is shared by some studios and theater companies with influence in the domestic film system. Since China Film Group holds more than 10%, to put it bluntly, although the two companies compete with each other, they are actually a family.
Since then, China Film and China has been monopolizing the power of import and distribution of imported films to this day. Although many private companies have participated in the distribution of imported film batches in recent years, they all need to apply for "indicators" from China Film Group. In other words, the decision-making power is still in the hands of China Film.
The Phantom's previous introduction of its own movie "The Story of Old Reis" was also the same indicator for applying for. The license allowed to be introduced was finally firmly held in the hands of the country.
It seems that a new license is going to be issued this time, but I don’t know if it’s one or two.
This is a battlefield, a battlefield of money.
In this war, some people fight for something, some people fight for it, some people fight for it, and some people fight for the strength of the film industry.
The Phantom lacks relationships, but when their strength reaches a certain level, any relationship will be crushed.
Li Donglai is looking forward to this.
Before that, "Teddy Bear" far away in North America was still popular. Unfortunately, it was not introduced to China. Because there were too many shit, peeing and farts, even Li Donglai had to review it.
The box office of North America weekend from June 29 to July 1, 2012 was announced in the early morning of July 2, Beijing time. Li Donglai's "Teddy Bear", which "seemingly cute but actually selling himself", unexpectedly showed strong box office potential in the third week of release.
"Magic Mike", which defeated this week's new film "The muscles are so chaotic, and the less clothes are the more kingly", and also defeated last week's champion "Legend of Brave", and finally reversed and reached the championship of this week. 3,539 theaters were released, and on the third weekend, it still achieved a box office of US$39.65 million, a drop of only 35%, shocking Hollywood.
The second-placed "Magic Mike" earned $39.15 million in 2930 theaters, ranking second with a gap of $500,000. "Legend of Brave" ranked third this week at $34.01 million.
Under the offensive of various floods of the R-class legion and being overwhelmed by the backyard, the PG League had to act in a joint defense posture and stare at the opponents one by one to protect the position! This week, the PG-13 new film: "The Witness Protection Plan" was airborne fourth, and "A Crazy Sister Falls from the Sky" starring Chris Pine and Elizabeth Banks repeated the mistakes of last week's "Doomsday Love" and ranked only tenth.
Since big names like Li Donglai are selling cheap without any moral integrity, "Magic Mike" is even more unconventional in selling meat, selling points, and selling lower body. The total market this week has risen by 25.1% again, and the overall revenue is approaching 200 million!
The total box office of "Teddy Bear" in North America has exceeded US$223 million.
Chapter completed!
