Chapter 464 He Wants Greater Privileges

"The key is to find the common points in human nature, such as the love of parents for their children. Audiences from any country can understand it——·..

In the conference room, Chen Qi was giving his report for the countless times, and Che Zhen was talking back and forth.

"That's all my thoughts, thank you everyone!"

"Whoosh!"

Finally, Chen Qi's speech ended. Ding Qiao presided over the meeting and expressed his thoughts one by one.

Sun Jianmin listened patiently.

The media has high-profile publicity, and the public is very concerned. He wants to take advantage of the Golden Bear Award to make "Life is Beautiful"

Distribution and screening will definitely make a fortune. Every time he thought about this, he would glance at Chen Qi.

"As long as you enjoy your time outside, it's up to us to decide when you come back!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whose turn is it next? Comrade Jianmin, can you talk about it?

"good!"

Soon it was Sun Jianmin's turn, and he started with a cliche: ""Life is Beautiful" brought glory to the country and is destined to be a milestone for Chinese films. To be honest, I am also proud of it——.——."

Everyone is wondering, why is China Film’s position so smooth? There was a huge quarrel at the beginning, and Chen Qi was sent to jail for several days.

""Life is Beautiful" is essentially an art film, and art films have never done well in China—...

Sun Jianmin suddenly changed his voice and said: "Because the film is of such great significance, we can't wait for it to meet the audience. We also hope that the film can break the rules and create a distribution record for art films."

"That's the truth!"

“The audience is looking forward to it!”

There were also representatives from the film company present, who immediately agreed with both hands.

Ding Qiao heard this and asked, "Have you organized the first quarter film viewing party?"

"No, no, we have been waiting for news about this film. We believe that Comrade Chen Qi can return with a great reputation, and as expected, he will live up to expectations!"

Sun Jianmin smiled and praised as if he didn't need money.

There is nothing wrong with this, and everyone thinks it is okay. Chen Qi also glanced at him and said unexpectedly: "I don't agree. It is not appropriate for "Life is Beautiful" to be released in China for the time being!"

Um? ? ?

Everyone was stunned. Sun Jianmin was even more surprised and asked: "Comrade Chen Qi, do you disagree?"

"right!"

"But-"

Ding Qiao pressed his hand and said, "Xiao Chen, tell me what you think?"

“This subject matter is very unique and completely different from previous anti-war films, and the ideology in it is also biased toward the West. In other words, this film requires a certain threshold for viewing, and I don’t think the public can accept it.

If you observe it inside a studio or school, I think it’s okay. If it were screened across the country, we might not get the reputation and results we wanted, and all the previous praise from the media would be like a joke, and it would be embarrassing up and down.

You can screen it in Hong Kong first to see how the audience reacts. "

"Comrade Chen Qi, we need to strike while the iron is hot!"

Sun Jianmin became anxious and said: "You can't hold back such a good film, the audience is so looking forward to it!"

"What does suppression mean? Dongfang Company's films are originally for export, and they cannot be released domestically. It depends on the specific situation --- Minister Ding, was this the rule you gave us at the beginning?"

"Woolen cloth-.-"

Ding Qiao was stuck for a moment, it seemed like this was the rule, but he definitely couldn't say it out at the moment, so he would be going astray.

Chen Qi did not push him, and continued: "In short, I think "Life is Beautiful" should be released in Hong Kong first, and "Tai Chi 3"."

"Absolutely not!"

After listening to "Tai Chi 3", Sun Jianmin became even more confused. "Life is Beautiful" is an art film, and "Tai Chi" is a big IP. The first and second films have sold more than 900 copies, ranking first in the country.

"After China Film raised the price for the acquisition, we lost more than 60 million in three years. We are contributing to the national film industry. Comrade Chen Qi, you can't target China Film just because we had conflicts before!"

Sun Jianmin stopped pretending.

"I acted within the scope allowed by the policy. How can I target you?"

A good symposium suddenly became noisy because of China Film's participation.

Everyone's eyes followed the two of them back and forth. Oops, this is much more interesting than a meeting. The two families are having sex again!

"alright!"

Zhu Muzhi, who had been silent all this time, slapped the table and said angrily: "What does it look like for a general manager of China Film and a head of Dongfang Company to spit in public? Write a review for me!"

Seeing that the two were quiet, he added: "Today is a symposium, not a meeting to discuss issuance. Don't go off topic. We will study this matter later."

He glanced at Ding Qiao, who asked, "Does anyone else have anything to say?"

After such an interruption, no one was too lazy to speak, and the meeting ended in confusion.

They left one after another, and Chen Qi also left.

Sun Jianmin was angry, but at the same time he was very worried that there wouldn't be a few blockbuster movies released in China throughout the year.

80% of them are loss-making, and none of Chen Qi's films has less than 300 copies.

The gross profit from the distribution fee of a film can be tens of millions.

Chen Qi didn't express his position before, and he just released it when it was needed in the country. Why did he suddenly become tougher today?

other side.

Zhu Muzhi and Ding Qiao returned to the office, closed the door, and Zhu Muzhi said: "That boy is very naughty! You said he has a red heart, look at it, he is asking for a reward from us!"

"There is no conflict. He doesn't want it for himself, he must want it for the company!"

"Dongfang Company is free to operate in Hong Kong. This is already a great privilege. Old Ding, you must know that, right? Judging from the behavior of that kid, he wants to do something in China. If we approve, at this critical moment, the studios, China Film, and film companies will all rush in. How can we reform?"

Ding Qiao thought for a while and said, "Xiao Chen is a man of measure and will not be lawless. I think he wants to compete with China Film for distribution? I'll talk to him. I also want to talk to him about reform."

He knew that Zhu Muzhi was not reluctant to give the reward.

It was that this time was sensitive. The Ministry of Culture was going to conduct a reform research. If more privileges were given to Dongfang, what would others think? Would they all reform according to Dongfang?

That would be a mess.

The next day, Ding Qiao called Chen Qi over again.

He told him about the reform brewing in the central government.

"According to the work procedures, today is the reform research, I want to talk to you. You don't have to worry about it, just say what you think, how do you think the film industry should be reformed?"

"This is simple!"

Chen Qi slapped his thigh, and he really didn't worry about it: "First, all the studios will become enterprises, with independent accounting, self-financing, and taxation according to the law. If they are short of money, they will find a way to survive, and they can also borrow money from the bank. Anyway, the state will not allocate funds, so they can survive if they can, and they will close down if they can't.

Secondly, China Film will cancel the unified purchase and sale, and cancel the monopoly of distribution!

Third, all local film companies will be closed, and the distribution rights will be returned to the production units!

Also, private companies are allowed to make movies and allow independent distribution!

Finally, a national cinema chain will be established to break down the barriers to local screenings!"

Ding Qiao was sweating.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Are you kidding, or are you speaking from the heart?"

"I'm speaking from the heart. This is what I think the film industry is like. Of course, it's definitely not going to happen now, and I'm not afraid of throwing cold water on you. This reform will at best only move a little bit."

"How could we not know that?"

Ding Qiao sighed and said, "From ancient times to the present, reforms must be full of thorns. We just need to complete the tasks at this stage. Forget it, I'm asking you too much. You're too radical."

Isn't it radical?

The domestic film industry has actually been changing since the 1980s, and it has been changing until the beginning of the 2000s. It took a full 20 years to complete the entire update. How far is this?

Chen Qi can't control such a large scale, but he can try for some of them.

He asked, "Does this reform include animated films?"
