Chapter 172: Open your eyes wide and take a look (Added by the Lord of the Night)

Even)

"Okay, okay, this will make the noise endless."

The leader had a headache and stopped him: "Don't argue, present the facts and be reasonable. If there is no new statement or new evidence, we..."

"I have something to say!"

Chen Qi raised his hand, looked at the China Film and Television duo, and asked: "There is something I'm very curious about. I won't mention it in the past. In 1976, domestic film production resumed, and you single-handedly took care of domestic and overseas distribution. You kept blaming us, then you

Have they ever exported videos?”

"Of course we exported it!"

“What movies have been exported?”

"Now is the meeting to study your responsibilities, not for you to ask us!"

"..."

Chen Qi turned his attention to the leader and said: "If I have a responsibility, I will definitely bear it. It has not yet been determined. They regard me as a criminal first. Do you think it is appropriate? The question I asked is closely related to this matter. Please understand.

You can make a better judgment on the real situation of this industry, right?"

"It makes sense, just tell me, everyone wants to hear it."

The leader's attitude changed because of the China Youth Daily article. He was shocked. The sales of "Tai Chi" in Hong Kong were 17 million! Out of the sensitivity of a qualified official, he felt that this matter would have repercussions.

change.

"Okay, let me tell you briefly!"

Song Linming reluctantly said: "We have established ties with 63 countries and regions, which means that China Film has so many choices for external distribution. There are two channels: non-commercial and commercial.

The former is provided to Chinese embassies abroad, foreign aid departments, friendly groups, etc., and can send out an average of 130 programs every year. The latter is to connect with overseas film producers, sell copyrights, and sell 162 films every year."

"Does it include short films, scientific and educational films, documentaries, a total of 162 films?"

Chen Qi professionally exposed his shortcomings. Seeing that Song Linming did not answer, he asked again: "How much money did you make from exporting in total?"

"This has nothing to do with you! Stop asking these irrelevant things to divert your attention. Your mistake is clear!"

"If you don't tell me, I'll tell you!"

Chen Qi had been prepared for this moment.

He took out a magazine and said: "This "Film Newsletter" is a professional publication published in the industry. It is generally not open to the public. I found it in the reference room of Beijing Film Studio. There is an article "System Reform and External Publicity" listed on it.

After passing a set of data, I will read it to you..."

He cleared his throat and said: "After the reform and opening up, domestic films have entered the world faster and have achieved certain results. However, in fact, the overseas market and influence of Chinese films are very limited, and exports are basically in deficit.

From 1978 to 1980, the average annual foreign exchange income of domestic films was 60,000 US dollars and 30,000 contract US dollars, equivalent to about 70,000 yuan, but the expenditure was 4.66 million yuan, subtracting revenue and expenditure, resulting in an annual loss of 30,000 yuan.

Mr. Song, is this set of data correct?"

"You don't understand anything at all!"

Song Linming didn't answer at all, as if he had been stabbed in a sore spot, he said loudly: "Overseas distribution is not that simple. Whether it is Japan or Europe, the distribution networks in various countries are deeply rooted and strictly controlled. They are all private. Thinking of those

It is very, very difficult to release it in theaters."

"Is it the same in the United States? Are China and the United States friendly now?"

"The United States is the most difficult! Are Japanese films very famous? Akira Kurosawa's "Rashomon" won an Oscar, but Japanese films cannot often be screened in the United States. To put it bluntly, it is a national-level regional protection!"

Chen Qi stopped arguing today, and just stared at him with a smile. This gesture gave Song Linming a bad feeling, as if it came from an instinct deep in his soul.

So he tried his best to defend China Film, saying: "Last year we organized a delegation to visit the United States. After returning, I wrote a report, and you, the leader, also saw it. This is indeed the truth.

??????55.??????

We can't rush for success and gain weight in one bite, but win with quantity first, so that more foreigners can see domestic films, conduct more cultural exchange activities, and hold film weeks. Of course, now there is another way to participate in film festivals.

.”

"Well said, I have learned a lesson."

Chen Qi nodded and said with a smile: "China Youth Daily published it in the newspaper. "Tai Chi" took 17 million at the box office in Hong Kong. So how much do you think a movie like "Tai Chi" can sell overseas?"

"I don't need to answer you!" Fang Yurong rushed.

"Don't you think I made a mistake? Well, if I leave "Tai Chi" to you for operation, how much can you sell it for?"

"You are older than me, have more experience than me, and are more capable than me. I sincerely ask you for your advice. In the current environment, a movie that has won the box office championship in Hong Kong, how will you operate it, and how much do you think it can sell overseas?

money?"

"The leader has spoken. There will be no quarrel today. If you two can convince us, I will kneel down and admit my mistake. I will punish you as you please!"

"That's right, you can say whatever you want!" Wang Yang interrupted.

"..."

Song Linming and Fang Yurong were brought here.

They looked at each other and Fang Yurong said: "The popularity of "Tai Chi" in Hong Kong does not mean that it is popular in the West, but it is popular in Hong Kong and must be unique... If it were us, we would definitely be able to sell it for at least 300,000 US dollars!"

"

Over the past few years, they have sold 162 short films every year, earning US$90,000 per year, with an average of US$4.75 million per film.

Dare to call out 300,000, which is already a breakthrough.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Wang Yang couldn't help but burst out laughing, his eyebrows and beard trembling with laughter. The old man didn't care about his image at all, holding his stomach and almost sliding under the table. He had been holding his breath for the past few days, and now he wanted to let it out all at once.

Chen Qi was also happy.

He shook his head with joy, then slammed the table, stood up, raised his hand and threw a pile of paper, hitting Fang Yurong in the face.

Fang Yurong was confused and stood up, shouting: "What are you going to do! Not only do you make mistakes, but you also have no education at all. Where is this place? Is it your turn to be wild?"

"No matter what, I am better than you useless, useless wastes! You are a piece of shit yourself, and you treat others like shit. You are incompetent, and you think others are incompetent. Even the monkeys have evolved to be smarter than you!"

Chen Qi pointed at her nose and cursed: "Open your eyes and see how much we sold for!!!"

"you!"

Fang Yurong was about to scream again when he was suddenly interrupted by a sound of gasping. However, Song Linming next to him picked up the thing and glanced at it. His expression immediately changed. He was extremely shocked and looked at Chen Qi in disbelief.

His tongue twitched and he couldn't speak a complete sentence. He could only spit out a few hoarse sounds like a bellows: "You...you...fake...how can you...millions..."

"million?!!!"

The leader lost his voice instantly and stood up excitedly. He felt a rush of heat rushing to his head and his face suddenly turned red. Being in this position, he knew the importance of certain things better.

Regardless of his image, he bumped against the table, passed several people, and snatched it away. He saw the clear empirical information on it, and also attached a list of film purchases:

"20th Century Fox of the United States, North America, Western Europe, and Australian copyright, totaling 3 million US dollars!"

"Exclusive copyright in Japan, 1 million US dollars!"

"Exclusive copyright in South Korea, 300,000 US dollars!"

"Exclusive copyright for Singapore and Malaysia, US$150,000!"

"Myanmar, Thailand, Philippines, Poland, Colombia... more than 20 countries, totaling 350,000 US dollars!"

"The overseas copyright sales of "Tai Chi" totaled US$4.8 million!"

(No more...)
