There are no secrets in the agency.

So the news of Wu Jianye's meeting with Ai Bu and the content of the conversation quickly spread. Some pure filmmakers outside the agency expressed their envy for Wu Jianye's ability to directly meet with Ai Bu and discuss issues.

And some people in the agency, as well as people from China Film and Studios, got a lot of ideas from the content of Wu Jianye's chat with Ai Bu.

In the position of Aibu, it is impossible to be changed by a director's words, but he can find useful opinions in these conversations and use them.

For example, what Wu Jianye said is, don't simply and rudely put aside China Film.

After China Film Group heard about this content, it was quite satisfied. After all, many studios are now clamoring for China Film Group to give up the distribution rights.

As far as the studio is concerned, Wu Jianye's rhetoric is actually beneficial to them, that is, Wu Jianye has at least put forward an idea to reform the existing system, which is already a very big progress.

So Wu Jianye's remarks not only got excellent impression points from Aibu, but also got a lot of impression points from China Film and the studio.

"Brother, let me worship you today!"

Today Wu Jianye came to China Film Group and found Liu Jianshe. Naturally, he came here for the "Kid King" of Xiying Studio.

After Liu Jianshe saw Wu Jianye, he smiled and said, "How old are you, and you're not in shape yet."

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "How old are you, you are also my senior brother!"

"Come on, you don't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and with this attitude, there must be nothing good!" Liu Jianshe didn't like Wu Jianye at all.

"Let's talk about why this happened, but let's talk about it in advance. If this matter can help me, I will naturally help. If you can't help, don't say that my brother doesn't care about fellowship!"

"Hey, it's just a trivial matter, senior brother!" Wu Jianye smiled, and then handed Liu Jianshe a cigarette.

After Liu Jianshe lit a cigarette, he said with a smile, "You can even talk to Bu Ai and Bu Zhao directly, so can it be a trivial matter?"

"It's really a trivial matter." Wu Jianye said firmly.

"Go ahead."

"It's actually like this. Isn't our China Film Festival going to hold the first Huaxia Film Festival soon? I have a good movie to recommend to my brother. I hope my brother can put this film in the film festival!"

"So it's about this matter, that's okay." Liu Jianshe nodded indifferently, and then asked curiously: "No, your company doesn't seem to have any plans to make a movie recently, which movie you're talking about ah?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Actually, it's also a movie of our fellow students. You know, Chen Kaige, he came from the director department of Class 78. Didn't he make a movie called "The King of Children" last year? The later stage of the cultural work has been completed now, I have seen it, and the filming is really good, but it seems that I heard that I did not catch up with the registration time for this film festival.”

Liu Jianshe's expression slowly became serious, and he asked, "Since when did you have a relationship with Xiying Film Studio? Haven't you always cooperated well with Yan Film Studio?"

"Don't worry about this movie. You must know the reason. Some people in the company don't like some of Wu Tianming's actions, so they want to take this opportunity."

Liu Jianshe didn't say what happened next, but Wu Jianye also knew what it meant.

But since Wu Tianming and Chen Kaige agreed, this matter still needs to be worked hard.

"Senior brother, fists are the most deterrent only when they are not punched out. Once punched out, no matter how powerful they are, others will no longer be afraid. Zhongying showed his fists and stored his strength without sending them out. I believe in the national system. No one in the studio would be willing to be the first person to be beaten, and the majesty of China Film Group has been erected invisibly. , Zhongying is nothing more than that, others have lost their fear, and this move is inferior. This is just my junior brother's shallow knowledge, let the senior brother laugh at me!"

Liu Jianshe listened quietly to Wu Jianye's words, his eyes gradually showed a strange color, and suddenly he laughed and said, "I finally know why so many big shots like you. But if we don't do anything, those who make Aren't the studios even more unscrupulous?"

Wu Jianye sighed, knowing that it was impossible to persuade so easily, and said with a wry smile: "Senior Brother, the matter is not so simple, besides, even if China Film Group does not let Xiying Film Studio participate in this film festival this time, Xiying Film Studio There is no way out there.”

Liu Jianshe was slightly taken aback, and asked, "We won't let them participate, what else can they do?"

Wu Jianye said: "At that time, Xiying Film Studio will make its own brand, find one or two familiar studios, and borrow their booths. At that time, it will still have the effect of publicity. If you can send people to drive them out, it won’t work, wouldn’t that be a joke for foreigners!”

"However, if China Film Group allows this film to participate in the film festival, then the problem will be different. This will not only show China Film Group's big mind, but also create some shock to other studios. Things are already tense, and China Film can also show some goodwill to the studio by doing this, isn't this the best of both worlds!"

After Liu Jianshe finished listening, he suddenly asked: "I know where you had the conversation in the Ministry of Ai. I would like to ask, what do you think of the future development of China Film?"

Wu Jianye was slightly taken aback: "Brother, I shouldn't talk too much about this kind of thing, right?"

Liu Jianshe said with a smile: "Don't worry, today is the conversation between you and my senior brother. If we leave this door, no third person will know."

i believed you idiot
However, Wu Jianye still smiled and said: "It's actually very simple. China Film was only responsible for distribution and screening before, so it seemed a bit stretched after the studio united to make a request, so why not invest in the filming in person in this case? What about movies? As for the regulations, I think China Film should have a solution, right?"

Liu Jianshe's eyes lit up. China Film had been obsessed with the distribution and screening of movies before, but it ignored the root of the movie. The root of the movie is the movie itself.

If China Film can shoot its own movies, then many things will be solved.

"Like "The Last Emperor" back then?" Liu Jianshe asked.

"Almost, but "The Last Emperor" was an investment by China Film Group. In fact, China Film Group can also develop a well-developed director to shoot a film that belongs to China Film Group. I think that will be a good choice for China Film Group in the future."

In fact, even if Wu Jianye didn't say anything, after China Film Group went through reforms, it still has its own investment and production of films.

Now Wu Jianye is just announcing China Film Group's future decisions in advance.

"But if this is the case, will China Film Group lose its uniqueness?" Liu Jianshe continued to ask.

Wu Jianye explained: "How could it be, brother, you think that with the reform and opening up, the country's regulations on the introduction of overseas films will become more and more relaxed. At that time, China Film will not only have its own distribution network but also be responsible for the distribution of overseas films. And China Film's special identity."

Needless to say, Liu Jianshe already understood what Wu Jianye meant.

"Brother, I can discuss this with the general manager for you, but I have a favor here, do you have to help me too!" Liu Jianshe said with a smile.

Wu Jianye was slightly taken aback, as if he had dug a hole for himself.

"Senior brother, tell me, as long as this matter is within the scope of my junior brother's ability, I will definitely not even blink an eye!" Wu Jianye took the lead in preparing a way out for himself.

"Haha, don't worry, it must be a matter of your words." Liu Jianshe smiled first, and then continued: "You see, our previous cooperation on the movie "The Last Emperor" has been going very well. Now that you Pointed out a good way for us in China Film, and can we continue to cooperate on the "New Dragon Inn" you are going to shoot next!"

Wu Jianye smiled wryly and said: "Brother, that's not what you said. The filming of "New Dragon Gate Inn" was funded by Fengge Entertainment and Tangting Culture, and cooperated with Xiaoying Studio. If you rashly join China Film, even if I agree, Feng Those shareholders of Song Entertainment will definitely have opinions."

Liu Jianshe said with a smile: "Don't worry, China Film and Television will not join in this matter for nothing. I can introduce some bosses of provincial and municipal distribution companies to you! What do you think of this condition?"

Wu Jianye showed a surprised expression. What is the biggest conflict between China Film and the studio, which is distribution. Now China Film is willing to introduce the boss of the provincial and municipal projection company to himself.

"Brother, this is not a joke." Wu Jianye said seriously.

"I know what you are worried about. In fact, the film reform has long been the trend of the times. Even if it is not now, there will definitely be actions in the next few years. In this case, we in China Film are willing to make some attempts, but there are still some problems. One condition."

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I knew it was impossible for such a good thing to happen, so you can finish it all at once if you have any conditions, brother."

Liu Jianshe said with a smile: "For this cooperation, China Film has requested to be fully involved in the overseas distribution of "New Dragon Inn"."

"This won't work!" Wu Jianye said immediately.

"Don't worry, just listen to what I have to say. China Film's intervention is not a requirement to have the right to speak in overseas releases, but an opportunity to learn. As you said, if overseas films want to enter the domestic market, they need to go through China Film. Although China Film has an import and export company, you also know that even now, in the international market, China Film does not have a reliable partner. In many cases, it is those foreigners who say how much money is how much money, we don’t Understand the laws of overseas markets.”

"This time, let people follow you, one is to shut up those who have criticisms, and the other is that China Film also wants to see what is going on with overseas capital operations." Liu Jianshe explained.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Brother, I'm afraid there is also a problem of monitoring the flow of funds here?"

"Haha, are you a good comrade if you don't tell the truth!" Liu Jianshe said with a smile.

Wu Jianye thought for a while and said, "Okay, I can decide this matter!"

For Wu Jianye, there is really no harm to the joining of China Film Group. Just because China Film Group helped Wu Jianye introduce domestic provincial and municipal projection companies, it is enough to make Wu Jianye tempted.

The real reform of the domestic film market will actually take place in 1993. At that time, private capital will be allowed to officially enter the distribution and screening of the domestic film industry. If Wu Jianye can rely on the provincial and municipal distribution in the past few years The projection company got in touch, and by 1993, they could rely on this relationship to form their own theater chain.

The first cinema chain in China, 'Yangzi Cinema Line', was established under such a background.

As for China Film to participate in the overseas distribution of "New Dragon Inn", there is no problem for Wu Jianye. As Liu Jianshe said, China Film is just learning experience, and Wu Jianye has never thought about making money at the box office. This is a good choice for both Wu Jianye and China Film Group.

And Wu Jianye also saw another advantage in Liu Jianshe, that is far-sightedness. In fact, many people say that people in this era lack long-term vision. It is just that the world they come into contact with is not big enough. Let them see the whole world, vision is not a problem.

Of course, there must be plenty of old-fashioned people, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

After China Film came out, Wu Jianye returned directly to Tangting Culture.

Chen Kaige had been waiting there early.

"How's it going?"

After seeing Wu Jianye, Chen Kaige asked a little nervously.

"Call Factory Director Wu, there should be no problem!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

"Great!" Chen Kaige waved his fist happily.

Then Chen Kaige solemnly thanked Wu Jianye: "Old Wu, thank you this time!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "You're welcome."

Then it was Chen Kaige who excitedly picked up the phone in Wu Jianye's office, called Wu Tianming, and explained the matter clearly. Wu Tianming also thanked him repeatedly after listening.

A few days later, there was also news from Jiang Yun that director Xie Jin and the Shanghai Film Studio were indeed influential enough, and the matter of "Furong Town" participating in the film festival had also passed.

The film has also obtained the qualification for national release, and director Xie Jin even decided to hold a premiere in Shanghai!

Hearing this news, Wu Jianye also lamented that although the number of movie viewers in the domestic film industry is declining year by year, the development of the film industry is slowly advancing. There will be no detours.

Pity!
Later, director Xie Jin also invited Wu Jianye to participate in the premiere in Shanghai. Wu Jianye thought that he would go to Xiangjiang to participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards in a while, so he could travel in Shanghai, so he agreed to thank him. Director Jin's invitation.
