my time as a director

The optoelectronic systems in various provinces in China are actually different. There is a group system. For example, Moduguang Group, Shonan Optoelectronics Group, Jiangning Optoelectronics Group, and its film groups and TV stations are all under the control of the group.

There are also some such as Ludong, where the main station system is established. Shanying Group and Ludong TV Station are both under the jurisdiction of the Ludong Radio and Television Headquarters.

There is also Shenzhen, which is also a different system, and there is also a separation of television and radio.

The General Administration has tried various systems across the country. In 01, it merged many state-owned enterprises such as CCTV and China Film Group into the China Broadcasting Group, and produced the same production as Shanghai.

China Film belongs to China Canton, and Moying belongs to Canton.

However, Zhongguang was disbanded a few years ago, and China Film Group was directly managed by Optoelectronics.

With this wide-ranging reform, it is estimated that the Moying Group can also become independent, without having another leader on top.

And it might be able to gain some benefits. You must know that Guangzhou Media Group is the largest media group in China after the disbandment of Zhongguang Group. Its nine subsidiaries have a market value of 440 billion.

At such a critical moment, Li Qian suspects that Ren Zhonglun has put in all his heart and soul for more than a week, and has been more busy than Li Qian, just trying to gain political capital for himself through the big sale of I am Legend.

As for the film group, the film business must be the main one.

Li Qian's guess is correct, the entire media system of Shanghai Magic City is running up and down for splitting and reorganization, and it is imperative for Moying Group to become independent from Guangxi, but Ren Zhonglun also hopes that during the reorganization, Moying Group can get more.

All the joints were opened up, Ren Zhonglun also seemed very happy, and had another drink with Li Qian.

"Then Director Li, I wish our cooperation will be smooth and the movie will be a big hit."

"Thanks to Director Ren for helping."

"By the way, Director Li, I wonder if you have time to come to the opening ceremony of the Shanghai International Film Festival next month."

"No problem, I still have time a few days before the start-up, so I must come."

This little matter, Li Qian readily agreed, although he is not interested in the Shanghai Film Festival.

As the only international A-category film festival in the country, it is even higher than the Golden Statue and Golden Horse in terms of level, but its influence is really not enough. It is not as good as the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, and even the college student film festival is a little more lively.

......

However, one month later, on May 5th, the opening ceremony of the Shanghai Film Festival, Li Qian, who thought he was here to make soy sauce, was exhausted all day.

In order to enhance the influence of the Shanghai Film Festival, Optoelectronics, China Film, and Shanghai Magic City, most of them are specially organized, and various meetings are held continuously.

In the evening, after a busy day, Li Qian received another call from Han Sanping.

"Alright Director Han, see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Li Qian was a little puzzled, what did Han Sanping ask him to do.

I am not familiar with Han Sanping, and I have no contact with him, and I have the opportunity to talk about things during the day at various meetings.

Probably not a good thing.

Chapter 231 Shooting is about to start

"Han Dong, you mean that I squeezed the living space of several major companies including Huayang and Bernard by myself?"

Li Qian seemed to have heard some big joke.

Han Sanping was not annoyed, and smiled and said, "Director Li misunderstood, of course it didn't mean that, but last year's Lunar New Year holiday, you personally shot and produced three films that spanned the entire Lunar New Year holiday, but it caused other companies to suffer a lot. , the box office is not as good as expected."

This is true. Hua Mulan, Ciling, and Fengyun 2 did not cost a lot at the box office, and Three Guns and October Siege also fell short of expectations.

But what does it matter to me?

Other people's movies can't sell at the box office, and the audience is unwilling to spend money to go to the cinema, so blame him?

Could it be that he pointed a gun at the audience and forbade them to watch it!

It's really hard for Li Qian to understand Han Sanping's brain circuit, but he doesn't want to entangle this topic with him.

"Han Dong, what do you mean?"

"Actually, you can cooperate with each other to avoid unnecessary competition. You can cast a few films at once and absorb the resources of other companies. It's a win-win choice, and after you cooperate with each other, you don't have to squeeze in a bunch of schedules. , It can be discussed completely, and it will not benefit you if you make a fuss, it is your loss, and it is also the loss of the Huaguo film market."

"Cooperation?"

Li Qian smiled again, "Mr. Han, I'm not a person who eats alone. Jiangning, Western Sichuan, Northern Hubei, and Southern Henan Provinces all participated in the investment of my films."

"Hehe, Director Li misunderstood."

Han Sanping smiled, "In the past ten years, it has not been easy for Chinese-language films to reach the current situation. I just don't want domestic films to kill each other, and cooperation with each other for mutual benefit is the right way."

During the five-month Lunar New Year holiday last year, all domestic blockbusters ended in disastrous failure.

Except for Three Shots, none of the costume blockbusters can recoup their costs at the domestic box office, and even if they sell various copyrights at home and abroad, there are only a few that can recoup their costs.

Han Sanping has blockbuster complex and ambition, blockbuster project is also his top priority to revive Chinese film.

In the past few years, everything went smoothly, and all the costume blockbusters topped the annual box office list.

But in the past two years, some ancient costume blockbusters suddenly stopped working.

Last year's Lunar New Year stalls were even more obvious. From November to March this year, almost all the troops were wiped out.

The competition is too great.

In November 11, it turned out that there was also a big dark horse living together in time and space.

Not to mention in December, Perfect World dominates the entire December movie market.

I met Avatar in January, and sold 1 million people on Journey in February. Even Dabing, Jinyiwei and Jinyiwei were no match.

Except for Avatar, all the blockbuster domestic costumes are in Li Qian's hands.

Li Qian also almost understood it, and still blamed the failure of several domestic blockbusters in the New Year's Eve file on the big sales of his own movies, and planned to persuade himself not to crowd out another bunch in the second half of the year.

I really don't understand why Han Sanping is so blindly obsessed with blockbuster movies.

"Mr. Han, each era should have its own characteristics. In the past ten years, the feature of domestic films has been blockbusters in costumes, but in the new decade, the market and audience tastes have changed. We should not blindly believe in blockbusters. But to discover more new directors.

Our audience is getting younger and younger. Only directors with newer, younger thinking and creativity can keep up with the audience. Su Lun’s cohabitation in time and space, and Xu Zheng’s people in Journey have never been seen in China. The genre is very creative and mainly based on the plot. This is a movie that the new generation of audiences want to watch, not the ancient costume blockbusters of yesterday's dusk. Not many people like it anymore. "

Hearing Li Qian's direct denial of the costume blockbuster, Han Sanping's expression turned a little ugly.

Han Sanping went to Hollywood more than ten years ago, saw Disney and Warner's studios, and watched the filming of modern and industrialized Hollywood blockbusters. Everything hit his eyes and made him feel sad and happy. Tragic feeling.

It was from then on that I had the dream of blockbuster movies, and I wanted to realize the revival of domestic movies through blockbuster blockbusters.

Even though the costume blockbusters have failed one after another in the past two years, he has not given up on this idea. It is not all the fault of Li Qian, but he just wants to let various companies discuss the Lunar New Year schedule in the future, try to stagger the release time, don't mess it up. Like last year's Lunar New Year file, five major productions were released in 15 days.
