Chapter 927: I can’t help myself

After giving Zhang Yuan a lesson, Huang Jianxin saw that this matter was almost done, and quickly said: "Ye Ming, you have listened to some of everyone's opinions, and you have seen the material clearly. So on such an issue? Can you tell me your opinion?"

Ye Ming was silent for a moment. It was impossible for him to remain neutral on this matter. The result of remaining neutral would be to offend both parties. It's not good to do this, it's very bad.

Therefore, Ye Ming looked at both sides of the struggle and said: "We will implement what the leaders have decided. I think everyone here is also very clear about this. No matter what the outcome of our meeting here is, Twenty movies have to be completed no matter what, and there is nothing we can do to change this. I think you all know it better than me."

Twenty movies is the general trend, and no one can stop it. Anyone in the entertainment industry who dares to stop this will be completely crushed. Zhang Yimou and Brother Chen Kai are also very clear about this.

Therefore, Zhang Yimou snorted and said: "We cannot allow this matter to develop like this. We must express our own views and express this matter to the leaders to express a need of us filmmakers."

This is the area where directors struggle the most. Regarding a matter like this, Ye Ming himself did not say much, but said with certainty: "The key is here, what we provide is our own opinion, and the opinion is What, it is just a reference for the leaders, then things will come out. If this is the case, then on such an issue, what should we do here to argue about it.

Dear colleagues, we don’t need to worry about the issue of twenty films or not. It is an unchangeable historical trend. It is the general trend and no one can stop it. "

In fact, everyone knows this, but when it comes to such an issue, some people are unhappy. Brother Chen Kai is also dissatisfied and said: "Then we will allow Hollywood blockbusters to come in? Let our film market let Hollywood blockbusters come in?" Occupy?

This will still have a huge impact on our Chinese film market. If we don’t protect our film market, who will protect it? I heard that the Korean people almost had a falling out with their leaders because of this. Director Ye also supported them in doing this, but when it comes to us, why would Director Ye say If so? "

This is what Zhu Xin said. Ye Ming's stance must be correct. There is no room for bargaining when it comes to stance issues. This time Brother Chen Kai really caught Ye Ming's negligence.

But Ye Ming almost said that he didn't take such a thing to heart, and said with a smile: "Director Chen is talking about the bald head movement, right? In fact, it is just a small thing in South Korea. South Korea can compete with our Chinese market Compare?

How many viewers do they have? How many viewers do we have? Besides, I am also against rising prices. If you want to promote the bald head movement, you can do it in China. If Director Chen dares to be the first to do it, I guarantee that he will be the second to do the demonstrations. If Director Chen If you dare to take the lead, I promise to carry the flag for Director Chen. "

This is the general. There are differences in different places. In Korea, you dare to go bareheaded, but in China, try it. Sometimes, you have to keep your head down.

Brother Chen Kai stopped talking now. He doesn't have the courage. The leader decides everything. This is our characteristic. If you dare to go against the leader, do you still want to make a movie? If Brother Chen Kai dares to shave his head in protest over this matter, he won’t have to mess around anymore.

Therefore, when he heard what Ye Ming said, Brother Chen Kai was speechless. He didn't have the courage. If Ye Ming could be stupid enough to say such things, he would never get into such trouble.

Therefore, Brother Chen Kai snorted and expressed his dissatisfaction, but did not say anything else.

At a time like this, Zhang Yimou secretly thought to himself, Ye Ming is just trying to find someone to attack, but he didn't expect you to come to him on your own initiative. For an angry young guy like Ye Ming, he can readily agree to this matter. That's strange.

Among the many directors, the two more angry young directors that Zhang Yimou knows are Feng Xiaogang and Ye Ming. These two people are sometimes hot-headed. Otherwise, they would not follow him and compete with the Radio, Film and Television Bureau for the share of the film. .

If you offend Ye Ming, you deserve to be contradicted. Ye Ming saw that Director Chen was speechless, so he immediately took over and said: "I have my own thoughts on this matter. Twenty movies will not change it, but how to use these twenty movies needs to be carefully considered. One is to introduce some Hollywood movies. It is one thing to introduce their blockbusters, and it is also the same thing to introduce their bad movies.

In Hollywood, there are not only large-scale productions costing hundreds of millions, but also low-cost movies costing hundreds of thousands or millions. If we follow the contract and introduce a few Hollywood movies like this, they won't be able to say anything about it.

Therefore, the key to this matter is the issue of introduction, how to introduce it, and what movies to introduce. We can definitely introduce millions of small-production movies without giving face to the eight major Hollywood groups. They just need to be dealt with.

Therefore, as long as the work of introducing movies is done, we don’t have to worry about any threats. Even if there are some movies, such as Harry Potter, if we are worried about them impacting our movies, they can be screened abroad for half a year or even Isn’t it too late to introduce it after one year? After it is introduced, don’t we have the final say on when it will be released? "

These words completely woke everyone up. Yes, so many directors were worried for nothing. Currently, there is only one company in the country that has the right to introduce foreign films, and that is Han Shan Ping Sanye's Film Group. Therefore, there are particularities in what movies to introduce, how to introduce them, and how to screen them after they are introduced.

For example, it is said that the New Year is a Lunar New Year period, but Hollywood movies are not given a schedule, and they are not given a schedule during the summer vacation. This is entirely the third master's decision.

Therefore, as Ye Ming said, Hollywood movies are actually not that terrible.

Also, if a movie has been released abroad for a year and a half, it would be strange if it was screened again in China and had a lot of box office. Under such a situation, this matter can be adjusted internally.

Feng Xiaogang nodded and said, "That's a good idea. Anyway, spring and autumn are not good times. Isn't it very necessary to arrange Hollywood movie screenings at this time to fill in the gaps?"

At this time, many directors strongly agree with this approach. Being able to not refute the leader's intention, and not touch the cake of the Chinese film market, naturally means that this matter can be strongly supported. Ye Ming, this kid, really has a lot of attention from Gui. But Huang Jianxin immediately said: "You have thought about this problem, and the leaders have also thought about it. There are also fools in Hollywood. Do you think the leaders above are really willing to open up the film market? Don't be too naive. Leaders are leaders, leaders Even if they are far-sighted, the leaders are unwilling to agree to increase the number of imported films to twenty." At this time, the directors below were dumbfounded, and even the few directors such as Ye Ming, who knew better, were also very surprised. Under such a situation, the reason why twenty films were introduced was because of China's accession to the WTO. Therefore, at this time, everyone knew that this matter could not be changed. But the leader also disagreed, so this matter became interesting. And everyone is confused. Even the leaders don’t agree with it, so why are you playing? Feng Xiaogang was even more convinced and said: "If the leader doesn't want to agree to this matter, what else are we going to discuss? Can we just follow the leader and refuse?" Huang Jianxin said with a smile: "This matter is not for you and me, you can participate Yes, anyway, twenty parts cannot be left out. We all agreed to this when we joined the WTO. Therefore, even if this matter started early, it would be impossible if our leaders did not agree. Therefore, in a situation like this Next. The leader has also communicated with the people over there. Both parties want to conduct an experiment on the Chinese film market. Everyone knows about the movie Pearl Harbor, right?" Although this movie is said to have not been screened in China, But it is said to be quite good. At this time, Ye Ming said unhurriedly: "The production cost of a Hollywood blockbuster should be 160 million U.S. dollars. It is an A-level movie in Hollywood. No Hollywood blockbuster has more investment than this one." More." No one can deny one thing: Pearl Harbor is indeed a blockbuster. Huang Jianxin nodded and said: "That's right, it's a big Hollywood production. The leader greeted those people and said that this year's matter will start from Pearl Harbor, right? Our Chinese film will really compete with Pearl Harbor. Hollywood movies If we are talking about winning the championship, this year, the film market will open up to 20 films. But our country is saying that we have won, so what should we do in the future? There is no need for 20 imported films." This is very important now. For a director, it is still a good challenge. Huang Jianxin looked at everyone who was silent. No one spoke. So let's talk about our own opinions on such a matter. Who will complete this task? "This is the key issue, but when it comes to who is going to complete such a thing, in such a situation, everyone is more wise to protect themselves.

Is it that easy to make a movie? And this time it’s a Hollywood blockbuster, a big production worth 160 million US dollars. Do you confront them at this time? Only a fool would do this. Therefore, almost all directors pretend to record something seriously. Being silent like this is the happiest thing.

Brother Chen Kai said without thinking: "I see there is no big problem in this matter, but the key point is time. We need time. If we are shooting a movie now, it is probably more appropriate to wait until the Spring Festival, so At a time like this, I think Director Ye's film is the most suitable. I heard that the filming is almost complete and post-production will be done soon, so he should be able to bear this honor."

These words suddenly pushed Ye Ming to the forefront. In such a situation, Ye Ming must do such a thing well. That is to be wise and wise to protect yourself, because this is a way of saying that a dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist.

Ye Ming also said immediately: "I'm afraid this question means that it can't be done like this. Otherwise, there will be too many things involved, and the post-production on my side will be quite troublesome. After all, I am a candidate for an Oscar." Movies, I want to copy them all.

But how can I apply for an Oscar under this? "

Ye Ming simply told the facts and reasoned directly. My film is an Oscar contender, so post-production is obviously a top priority.

Seeing everyone's faces, they believe you are shameless. Ye Ming suddenly became more prestigious, right? But Ye Ming ignored this matter at all. This is a big pit, a big depressing pit.

Therefore, he was unwilling to get involved in this matter. But at a time like this, there are some things that you either don’t want to do or that you can’t do. There are some things that must be done by you.

For example, for other movies, the leaders above are worried. , If it is a film by a small director, it is difficult to say clearly whether this is worth looking forward to.

Therefore, this director must be a director that everyone is more convinced of.

And Ye Ming happened to do a key thing at this critical moment. Slumdog Millionaire is a movie that is competing for Oscars. If Ye Ming was not certain, he would not dare to shout such a slogan. Maybe there is almost no time left to find a movie like this.

There are so many directors in China, and the films they shoot are relatively casual, and it’s hard to say whether the quality can be guaranteed. Zhang Yuan dared to raise money while filming. Sometimes if there was no money, it would not be impossible for the crew to stop directly.

How can a movie like this compete with Hollywood blockbusters? This matter completely broke out at this moment. If you want to find a substitute, it will not be an easy task.

Therefore, it would be strange for Ye Ming not to be pushed out on this issue. This is in line with the requirements of the leadership and the needs of the market. More importantly, under such a situation, to block Hollywood, Ye Ming He is relatively experienced. If the director doesn't let him take part, who would be qualified to take part?

Sometimes the logic of people in the entertainment industry is really hard to figure out. (To be continued)
