The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 109 Proposition Composition
Chen Jingxing smiled and listened to the bickering of the two leading actors, and was about to join in, when a field worker ran over and whispered something in his ear.

Chen Jingxing clapped his hands: "Okay, let's finish work early today."

Amid the whistles and cheers of many crew members, they put Lei Jiayin on the shoulders: "Brother Lei, go back today and have a good rest, save your energy, and try to do it again tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he quickly left the studio under Lei Jiayin's white eyes.

The reason why Chen Jingxing quit work early was mainly to meet an important guest, Qin Zhonghe.

The reason why Qin Zhonghe will come is of course that Guoying won the distribution rights of "Signal".

In the box office distribution of domestic movies, the simple distributor can also share nearly [-]% of the revenue.

Huanshi.com and United Cinemas were naturally unwilling, but they had no choice but to compromise for the sake of the National Day file.

China Film is not only one of the largest studios in China, but also the largest film distributor. Not only does it almost monopolize the distribution of sub-account films, but it also occupies a very important share of the distribution of non-self-produced domestic films.

Holding the distribution rights of many movies, this is the biggest bargaining chip of the National Film Festival. Who wouldn't want such a good schedule for the National Day file?Let Guoying's own movies make way for you without paying a price.

In fact, Chen Jingxing didn't suffer a loss, he even took advantage of it. Putting it on other companies and directors meant selling himself to others, and Qin Zhonghe might not be willing to transfer "Heart Blossoming Road" out of the National Day file.

Of course, "Blooming Hearts" will not necessarily affect its box office performance if it is scheduled for the summer vacation.

So Guoying did not suffer a loss, but he was willing to sell Chen Jingxing such a big face, he definitely had to ask for something, and the distribution rights alone could not be exchanged. There are so many domestic films every year, if the distribution rights are handed over to Guoying If you grab a good schedule, it's too simple.

Although Chen Jingxing didn't know what Qin Zhonghe wanted him to do, he had to eat the ready-made sweets. Guoying was not a private enterprise, so could it be to rob his DreamWorks?

National Film has always been the one with a more detached position among the five traditional film studios. When Jianghe, Tianrun and other studios are worried day and night about Internet capital entering the film industry, National Film actually doesn't care much.

After all, people not only make movies, but also hold account-sharing films in their hands. Compared with making domestic films, distributing account-sharing blockbusters can get more benefits.

The foreign producers who split the bills for blockbuster movies can only get a quarter of the domestic box office. After deducting the theater splits, development funds and taxes, the rest is owned by China Film Group.

As the helm of National Film, the reason why Qin Zhonghe has worked so hard to support domestic films and filmmakers these years is his own feelings besides the tasks assigned by the above.

So Chen Jingxing didn't think that Qin Zhonghe and Guoying would do him any harm, and he didn't make banned films.

This time, Qin Zhonghe came to meet Chen Jingxing in the name of the publisher to check on the progress of the production.

"It seems that I came here by accident, there is no need to call it a day for me."

Chen Jingxing shook his head: "It's okay, this time the production cycle is relatively generous. When I went to Hollywood to study, people got off work at the end of eight hours a day, and it didn't affect the production of good movies. It was exhausting. So tired, the actor's condition is not easy to maintain."

Qin Zhonghe also nodded in understanding. This problem cannot be solved overnight, so he asked about the filming progress.

Chen Jingxing replied confidently: "Before August, the first cut will definitely be released."

Qin Zhonghe said with a smile: "Okay, then I will set "Heart Blossom Road" until mid-August. I have to watch your first cut before I can make a final decision. This year's box office task is set at least A 30% increase, I don’t dare to release a movie that can’t support the box office market, so I can’t just put it on the National Day file.”

Chen Jingxing naturally expressed his understanding. After all, if this year's box office target is not achieved, it will not affect him at all. The old man in front of him will probably be criticized.

Qin Zhonghe changed to other topics with a smile, while Chen Jingxing was coping with it, he also had some premonitions in his heart that Mr. Qin might have something to talk about when he came this time.

However, Chen Jingxing felt a little helpless about the Huaguo tradition of making three detours in speaking, but of course he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the boss, so he patiently chatted with Qin Zhonghe.

After exchanging their views on the future development of Huaguo's special effects industry, Qin Zhonghe hesitated for a while and asked, "Xiao Chen, the Ministry of Public Security is planning to make the 10.5 case into a movie. Do you know about this?"

"10.5 case?" Chen Jingxing reacted in a daze: "Mekong River?"

Qin Zhonghe nodded and said, "You also know that the filming of the TV series was finished last year, but the Ministry of Public Security still wants to make a movie version."

A light suddenly flashed in Chen Jingxing's mind, "Operation Mekong"!
In the plane of his previous life, he remembered that the film about this case was originally taken over by Guoying, and then Bona Films proposed another plan, to invest [-] million yuan, to shoot in the direction of Hollywood blockbusters, and was approved by the leadership of the Ministry of Public Security. Favor, cut off this project.

Seeing that Chen Jingxing was frowning and thinking, Qin Zhonghe quickly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I'm not adding to your burden, I know that your two projects are filled up this year, we don't do this kind of propositional composition. Forced."

Often "propositional composition" has to get a high box office. If the director is unwilling to shoot for you, the filming is not good, and the box office reputation is bad, and he can't bear this responsibility.

But generally speaking, if the task is really assigned, no director will really refuse it.

After all, which director hasn't made a bad movie?Which director has never compromised with capital and stars?Unless you are an expert in literary and artistic films, you can bear the demands of capital, and your bones will harden when you come to me. Isn't this nonsense.

And there are still many directors who are eager to write "proposition essays". Qin Zhonghe has been in charge of National Film for so many years, and his reputation in the industry is still quite solid. You have completed the task I entrusted to you, and your benefits will naturally be indispensable in the future.

"However, the leaders of the Ministry of Public Security are not very satisfied with the plan we made. After all, I haven't made a movie for a long time. I want to consult you directors who are active in the front line. I also asked some of your seniors. , but you also know that these old directors naturally have unique skills, but when it comes to grasping the market, I am not very confident in them. After all, the above requires that the film adapted from the 10.5 case should be more commercialized.

The reason why I am under so much pressure this time is mainly because the leaders of the ministry have requirements for the box office this time, saying that they can’t make the same kind of promotional films as before, they have to be down-to-earth, and they want to attract ordinary people to watch in the cinema. "

Speaking of this, Qin Zhonghe sighed in his heart. Although he looks majestic to outsiders, he is still under great pressure every year.

First of all, on the basis of protecting domestic films, it is necessary to complete the annual box office target. I don’t know how many brain cells are consumed every year in order to arrange for split movies and domestic movies. The box office ratio of split movies is too high.

If the annual box office target is not fulfilled due to excessive suppression of sub-account films, he is also the second responsible person besides the Film Bureau.

The second is to write a composition, which is a headache for him as well as satisfying the higher-ups and achieving commercial success.

"When I think about it, I think of you."
