Chapter 883 The second place

A few days later, the movie work conference was held.

Chen Qi ran to the radio and television early in the morning and entered a conference room. The participants arrived one after another, not many people, only the heads of various studios, provincial film companies, and China Film Academy, less than a hundred people.

The leaders of the Ministry of Truth, Radio, Film and Television and Culture all attended.

Chen Qi found a place in the Truth Ministry, and when he looked around, he basically knew them all.

The meeting started with the main theme, and Leader Wang made a speech, which was the general idea: This year, the slogan of "highlighting the main theme and promoting diversity" was officially put forward, and studios were encouraged to shoot more, and they were studying funding plans for major films.

Simply put: the country will allocate funds to shoot this type of film!

Of course, there will be funds, otherwise where will the studio be motivated?

Subsequently, Ding Qiao's new position was announced and he officially became the leader of the "Leading Group on Major Themes of Revolutionary History". He was 63 years old this year and was transferred from the Deputy Department of Culture to the Deputy Department of Radio and Television. He did not take long to do it.

"Oh, I'll back another one!"

Chen Qi sat down and shrew, his life was so strong that many old leaders left. Speaking of which, his first leader should be Aunt Wang from the street, and he also stepped down from the previous two years and got to the point.

The specific plan for the reform began to be discussed, and the three parties of China Film, film companies and studios were quarreling. Chen Qi was drowsy when he heard this, and this matter had nothing to do with him.

In the end, we barely reached an agreement:

"In the past, China Film settled by copy and acquired by unified company. It will be different in the future. The studio can discuss with China Film in detail, using agency issuance, one-time buyout, proportional share, etc.."

The studios present were very happy and they always wanted the distribution rights. Although they had not yet directly connected with the market, they had already relaxed too much.

What a good thing!

I was ready to make money, but I was beaten by reality one by one.

First of all, in the past, China Film Acquisition had a guaranteed price, with the lowest price of 900,000 yuan. Whether it is a literary film or a garbage film,

At least they can be sold for 900,000 yuan. Now the guarantee is gone. Zhongying thinks that if you don’t sell this movie, you will definitely try hard to lower the price. Why are you still spoiled?

Secondly, if you choose an agent and share the accounts, you must enter the deep waters of local film companies.

The box office is concealed!

So after this reform, the studio not only did not make money, but instead suffered even more losses. The new policy has been implemented for two years.

In 1989, it was changed back to copy settlement.

"ha!"

Chen Qi secretly yawned and was bored in a daze at the meeting.

And when this issue passed and it was the next issue's turn, he felt a little spiritual.

"Last year, Hong Kong films entered Guangdong and achieved good results. Some local film bureaus and film companies hope to introduce Hong Kong films, including Shanghai, Guangxi, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and others.

Minister Ai of Radio and Television said: "Hong Kong films entering Guangdong are a pilot project. Whether they can be expanded or not, they must be carefully considered. Today, I took this matter to the meeting and talked about it, and everyone will discuss it."

Chen Qi searched and found Wu Mengchen. Wu Mengchen happened to be looking at him and blinked.

Immediately afterwards, Minister Ai directly named: "Comrade Chen Qi is an expert in this area, please tell me first!"

"Wow!"

Amid the applause, a microphone was sent to Chen Qi. He coughed and said, "I'm a little scared,

I can't talk about any expert, I just have some experience. Minister Ai asked me to say it, so I'll just say a few words."

Mr. Chen, who is powerful outside, has become a well-behaved Xiao Chen.

"First of all, I oppose the expansion of Hong Kong films!"

As soon as this statement was spoken, many people disagree, thinking that he advocated letting Hong Kong films come in.

Chen Qi said: "Why am I against it? First, Hong Kong films were banned by Taiwan. We opened a window out of support for Hong Kong films. Hong Kong is about to return, but it is a family after all.

Second, then again, Hong Kong has not returned yet. Strictly speaking, Hong Kong films are considered imported films, and are not suitable for large-scale introduction.

Third, when talking about reform just now, I saw that the studio representatives were ready to do a big fight.

If Hong Kong films are allowed to enter in large quantities now, it will be detrimental to the development of our own film industry."

After hearing this, the studio representative nodded and praised. Hong Kong films were their biggest competitors.

The representatives of the film company were furious. Is that a matter of whether to return or not? That was a matter of money! Last year, a Guangdong family was full of oil. How many box offices did 20 Hong Kong films earn?

"Comrade Chen Qi, what you said is wrong!"

"Why can't Guangdong open? We can't open it?"

"We are also a big movie player in Jiangsu, with many theaters, high attendance rates, eager viewing of the movies, and good atmosphere. We can definitely catch Hong Kong movies!"

"We can do it in Henan too!"

"We Hubei/Zhejiang/Sichuan/Liaoning—"

"Quiet quiet, don't make noise!"

Minister Ai maintained order and said, "Xiao Chen, would you please tell me your opinions in detail?"

"I don't think it's better to open too much. It's enough to come to another province. First, try it for two or three years, and adjust it in time according to industry changes. It will be expanded all of a sudden, and it will be difficult to adjust in the future!"

The leaders unanimously agreed that the characteristic of the 1980s was to carry out experimental fields and various pilot projects, which was easy to remedy.

Chen Qi continued: "Guangdong did a good job because it ensured the film market environment!"

"The Hong Kong films can be divided by 35%, and they can really take them away before they are willing to invest the money back. Otherwise, do you think Hong Kong people are fools? They can't match the accounts and are willing to invest in Guangdong?"

This is very straightforward.

Chen Qi ignored their faces and said, "Everyone said that they can do it, it's better to do this. We just want to reform,

Studios can talk about agency and share accounts. Then we will limit this year, including one-stop promotion, distribution, release, and settlement. It depends on whoever does the best, and who will give the quota next year!"

ha!

As soon as these words were spoken, the leaders were happy.

If you come to sleep, hand over a pillow.

What they are most worried about is that local film companies deceive superiors and subordinates and intercept box offices. Now, if film companies want quotas, they have to manage the market well. If they don’t want it, there is no way to do it. No matter what, it will promote reform.

So they said, "Comrade Chen Qi's proposal is very good!"

"It's fair to compare this way, everyone depends on their ability!"

"Yes! Whoever does the best will give you the second Hong Kong movie quota!"

Wu Mengchen also looked at Chen Qi, which was different from the previous private talks. Wu Mengchen meant to use Hong Kong films as an experiment, but Chen Qi wanted to use the entire reform as an experiment. But this did not affect the fundamental nature, but compared to the market environment of each province.

He responded first: "I think it's OK, our Shanghai company is confident!"

"We have it in Jiangsu, too!"

"There are also in Zhejiang!"

Some big box office provinces have called out, while some old, border and poor areas are not competitive and will not participate.

What I worry most is the middle group, who is unwilling to accept it without fighting, and cannot fight, and is very entangled.

Therefore, this conference is of great significance and two major events were initially determined: reform, the second Hong Kong film quota!

Chen Qi has a tendency towards Shanghai, and may help him privately, but it is mainly based on Wu Mengchen's strength to build the platform.

Lao Wu is now the general manager of Shanghai company and is in charge. Later, he became the boss of China Film and Television, hosting the introduction of Hollywood blockbusters, and then China Film and Television became China Film and Television Group, Han Sanping took over, etc.
