Chapter 447 Storm
[Because the Huaxia Directors Association did not complete the set goals as agreed in the first half of the year, the relevant departments will cancel part of the financial support and policy support for the Huaxia Directors Association, and temporarily cancel the priority channel! 】
[Some directors such as Zhou Yang and Feng Kai of “China Youth Directors Association” have completed the agreement as required. After consultation with relevant departments, it has been unanimously decided to issue the [Director Support Fund] to the Youth Association, and reissue some policy support, and discuss the opening of priority channels. ! 】
September 17th.
The Chinese film circle, which was so much troubled by “Infernal Affairs”, suddenly ushered in a more important news!
Although this news is not official, but the staff of the relevant department took a screenshot of an instruction, but after seeing this news, the whole circle was in an uproar.
The directors headed by Feng Minrui drove towards the relevant departments early in the morning. Facing countless reporters, Vice President Shen Jinsong had gloomy eyes and said nothing.
After arriving at Xu Kangnian’s office, Feng Minrui and others rushed over.
“Xu Chu, what does this mean?”
“How can we cancel it if we can cancel it? We can’t start targeting us just because our Chinese movies have been impacted by Hollywood this year, right?”
“Our films are all released in the second half of the year…Shen Jinsong, director Shen has a martial arts movie “Sword God”, a police and bandit movie “Darkness” directed by Xiao Bin, and “The Beast” directed by Zhang Liansong, and the main theme movie “Our “Country”… These are blockbusters, and they are going to snipe Hollywood movies in the second half of the year!”
“Yeah, the goal of our film industry this year is 3 billion, right? If these films go wrong or cannot be released as scheduled, how can we get 3 billion!”
“right…”
Since the older generation of leaders stepped down.
Zhang Jianguo and Xu Kangnian, one became the leader in charge of the TV department, and the other became the leader in charge of the film department.
Shen Jinsong and others were quite happy at first, and Xu Kangnian, who was with them along the way, became the leader of their life and death power, and then the Chinese film industry must not continue to steam up under his leadership and their efforts?
In the first half of the year, Zhou Yang was really angry and resentful in the film circle, and he also took the limelight. Especially when the second half of the year was approaching, Zhou Yang not only did not stop, but became more and more violent, offending some capital in the film industry. , Many directors, including many people in the industry, hate it.
Even if it became like this, Zhou Yang’s trip to Venice was cold, they still just complained on the Internet, criticized Zhou Yang, and at most discussed getting Zhou Yang and Hua Xing behind their backs.
But they just thought, they haven’t done anything substantive, who would have expected to receive a notification from the relevant departments [suspending support].
Funding is second, they don’t lack these hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars…
Important is the priority channel!
What does priority channel mean?
means that if some movies pass the normal process, they may not be approved, or the approval is very slow. It takes about two months for a single script, and it may not be approved.
However, taking the priority channel will give certain permissions. Many movie scripts are declared on the same day, and the scripts will be reviewed and approved the next day, and when the movie is released, it will also be supported by various policies, including the “Domestic Movie Protection Month”. In a few months, it will focus on protecting its movies so that the movies can attract more box office. In addition, there are publicity channels, and the key channels are not even limited to the official and CCTV channels…
Once this kind of support treatment is cancelled, those people in the Huaxia Film Association will have no advantage at all except for the script review to go through the back door!
“But you didn’t meet the requirements of the “military order”…” Xu Kangnian did not show anger when facing each director, but looked up at Feng Minrui calmly.
“It was also your suggestion that we postponed the release? You said that Hollywood movies were great in the first half of the year, and the second half of the year was a little empty. Otherwise, how could we have missed the one billion box office? Now it’s over 900 million! We don’t all listen to your instructions, Push and push, and now it’s almost October… If not, can we not get one billion box office?” Shen Jinsong finally couldn’t help but say this sentence.
“I’m just doing things according to the requirements…” Xu Kangnian frowned slightly, and then he was still indifferent: “I can’t express my personal opinion on this matter. Deputy An will explain it to you. Well, you can go to the conference room, and he will replace the previous Zhang Jianguo. , Zhang Ke’s work is in touch with you…”
There was another uproar in the office.
Xu Kangnian didn’t care about the uproar, he just wrote the report seriously on his own.
A group of directors didn’t dare to say anything after seeing Xu Kangnian’s expression, so they could only walk towards the conference room with a gloomy face.
The first half of 2007.
When the “China Youth Directors Association” was first established…
Zhou Yang issued a military order in the conference room of the relevant department.
The content of the military order is that in the first half of the year, “China Youth Directors Association” will take out 500 million yuan at the box office, while “Huaxia Directors Association” will have to take out 500 million box office in order to get corresponding support from relevant departments.
The first half of the year.
Several films invested by Huaxing, such as “Struggling”, “Jin Yiwei”, “The Chainsaw” and other films, have all hit the box office, and the total box office has already exceeded 500 million.
The directors of the Huaxia Directors Association are very embarrassed. They have participated in many blockbusters such as “Golden Armor”, “Dragon City”, “Night Walker”, etc. The box office is not bad, but in the end because of the Hollywood blockbuster in the first half of the year. Shock, they put many movies in the second half of the year, resulting in not completing the established tasks and stuck at the box office of more than 900 million…
Originally thought that this matter was not mentioned by everyone, and it just passed by. After all, there was Xu Kangnian’s shelter, but who would have thought that the relevant departments would really take this matter seriously.
The directors left the office one after another.
Feng Minrui, president of the Huaxia Directors Association, stayed…
“Is this really arranged?”
“Although gambling is prohibited and not encouraged, but you are willing to admit defeat, what do you think?”
“I don’t think it’s fair, Xu Chu, you have to speak for us. No matter how powerful Secretary An is, she won’t listen to you? Can she uproot the entire industry and remake the world? Don’t look at Zhou Yang’s greatness now, but He can’t support it, and he can’t represent Huaxia Movies… We old people will retire when we retire, but we can’t bear your ambitions to be wiped out… Now Hollywood movies are arrogant…”
“I abide by everything that can be followed. I just feel that I am willing to admit defeat and advise you to be calm. In the commercial era, the box office is the last word, but as for what you are going to do, I…I can only persuade…” Xu Kangnian looked up. A glance at Feng Minrui revealed a smile.
After seeing Xu Kangnian’s smile, Feng Minrui frowned slightly, then stretched out, nodded earnestly at him, and smiled: “We will abide by the law.”
Just after Feng Minrui left, he saw Zhou Yilin come over.
He frowned.
“Old Zhou, why did you come so late for this matter? Didn’t you tell me?”
“Cough, cough, there is a traffic jam on the road, are you done with it now? I just came back from Venice, and people are muddy…”
“I’ll let you take my car, you don’t… Forget it, let’s go in and see what An Xiao can do, I really don’t believe she can make the whole industry collapse…”
“Well, oh, belly, look at my belly, you go first.”
“Okay! Are you all right?”
“It’s okay, it’s just that I probably had a bad stomach yesterday…”
“Okay, then you go first.”
“Um.”
Feng Minrui looked at Zhou Yilin suddenly covering his stomach with a very painful expression, and then walked into the conference room speechlessly.
No one knew that after Feng Minrui left, Zhou Yilin had a smile on his face, and then walked towards An Xiao’s office while no one was paying attention.
After a minute, Zhou Yilin walked out of An Xiao’s office, put the information on “China Youth Directors Association Support Policy” into his arms, and walked into the conference room with a bitter face.
Looking at the directors who were full of resentment and wanted to turn the whole conference room over, Zhou Yilin’s expression began to feel a little painful again: “Oh, I’m sorry, I ate bad yesterday, everyone, I’ll go to the hospital first, my stomach hurts, everyone, How do you raise your hands to vote, I agree, oh no, maybe appendicitis… It hurts me…”
When everyone who was concerned expressed their desire to go up to help, Zhou Yilin quickly shook his head: “No, An Xiao is coming over, business is important, business is important, my assistant is outside the conference room, it’s okay…”
Zhou Yilin left the conference room with the help of his assistant. After leaving the conference room and getting into the car, Zhou Yilin’s brows instantly stretched.
“Director Zhou… You’re okay, wait a minute, the driver turns around and goes to the hospital, hurry up…”
“Shut up, go away!”
“what?”
Assistant looked at Zhou Yilin with a calm face.
Last second…
He was still sweating profusely, but now he seems to be nothing.
“Remember, don’t contact anyone in the “China Directors Association” these days, don’t participate in any voting, don’t participate in any strikes, director strikes, alliances, etc…”
“Of course, don’t offend those people in the Huaxia Directors Association. In addition to strikes, some initiatives still have to be signed symbolically…”
“Help me draw up a case report of appendicitis, just say I’m in surgery, let’s see the limelight first… Remember, I must keep the matter of being the vice president of Huaxia Youth Director a secret, and don’t tell anyone, Don’t stand in line, don’t stand in line!”
“By the way, this kid Feng Kai has returned to China? Give this document to Feng Kai…”
“…”
Just after Zhou Yilin explained the matter, his cell phone rang.
“Uncle Zhou…”
“Little Jiang? What’s wrong?”
“Uncle Zhou, I need an investment, can you lend me some money?”
“Um?”
…………
After returning from Venice, Zhou Yang slept day and night for a long time.
In a daze, it was the evening of September 17th.
When he got up, he saw the sunset on the horizon.
After went downstairs to eat something, others were still confused.
This is a relationship where the jet lag is not reversed and the biological clock is completely confused.
【Why didn’t you go back to the villa? 】
Zhou Yang saw a text message on his phone.
Then, in a trance, he remembered that he seemed to be “living together” with An Xiao now.
He scratched his head, and for a while he laughed foolishly, and replied: [Come back soon].
After finished laughing, the text message quickly replied [oh], and there was no further text.
Just at this time…
Zhou Yang heard the phone ring.
The call was from Zhou Yilin.
“Xiao Zhou, I’ve read Xiao Jiang’s script, it’s pretty good…”
“Um?”
“Would the Youth Association develop Xiao Jiang? But he has a special status and has a lot of grudge against you, but he doesn’t know my current status… In this way, first, I should get support funds in other names, and I will apply for support. Fund? After the filming is over, tell Xiao Jiang the truth?”
“This…”
