I'm not just a director

Chapter 292 A small meeting for big things
A week later, Jiang Peian flew back to the capital from Dian Province.

The exchange meeting was held at the Huancheng Hotel in Beijing. As soon as Jiang Peian rushed back to the capital, he was summoned by Han Shanping.

"I'm thinner and darker, but I still look energetic. Yunnan Province has beautiful mountains and clear waters. It's a great place."

Looking at the energetic Jiang Peian, Han Shanping said with a smile.

The two hadn't seen each other for a while. Although their cooperation in "Inception" ended, Jiang Pei'an didn't feel restrained at all when they met again.

"Haha, hey, you are healthier. But, Mr. Han, you are radiant and getting younger and younger."

Jiang Peian said with a smile.

Now that the imported film system in Hong Kong has been abolished, a large number of high-quality films are about to emerge from the mainland. As a top player in the mainland, Han Shanping is naturally overjoyed.

"You have such a mouth, kid. Sit down first. I'm calling you over this time. First of all, we haven't seen each other for a long time to talk.

Secondly, let’s also discuss some issues at the exchange meeting the day after tomorrow. "

Han Shanping pointed to the seat and said with a smile.

This exchange meeting can be said to be the largest since the policy was liberalized. It lasted for three days and was for the purpose of future exchanges on the development of films in the mainland and Hong Kong.

At first, everyone only interacted with each other on a small scale, which always gave people the illusion of being sneaky and ineffective.

Now that China Film and Yindu are taking the lead in endorsing it, it has naturally caused a huge sensation in the industry.

Han Shanping also wanted to use this exchange meeting to convey the authorities’ film concepts.

After hearing Han Shanping's words, Jiang Peian put away the smile on his face and his expression became serious.

The right to reminisce is just a cover, and the content of the exchange meeting is more important.

As the saying goes, big things call for small meetings, and small things call for big meetings.

Han Shanping found Jiang Peian at this juncture, and he must have done more than convey the content of the exchange meeting.

Han Shanping gave Jiang Pei'an a cigarette, then he puffed away the smoke himself and said slowly:
“Although there are some impacts this year, the fact is that so far, the output of film creation this year has increased by 15.00% compared to the same period last year.

And this number is still growing and is expected to increase by around 40.00% by the end of the year.

At the same time, the box office revenue of the movie market in the first quarter increased by nearly 30.00% compared with the same period last year. "

Although these figures are only approximate statistics, they also strongly reflect the huge increase in film creation volume and revenue.

Jiang Pei'an nodded and said:
"The number of movies should have surged since Hong Kong Province's film policy was liberalized, right?"

Han Shanping glanced at Jiang Peian and said:
"Movies with a Hong Kong background account for at least [-] percent."

The remaining 5.00% should be the impact of the boom in the film market in the past two years.

Moreover, the first half of the year is just the beginning, and the National Day and New Year's Day in the second half of the year are the highlights.

Jiang Peian nodded and listened to Han Shanping continue:

"In order to provide a good policy environment for deepening reforms in film.

This year will also see the introduction of the "Interim Provisions on Film Script (Summary) Project Approval and Film Review", "Provisions on the Administration of Sino-Foreign Co-production of Films", and "Interim Provisions on Foreign-Invested Cinemas".

At the same time, a series of documents on the reform of production, distribution, screening and other systems have also been released.

The purpose is to lower the qualification threshold for film production, distribution and screening and attract all powerful social forces to participate in the film industry. "Jiang Peian answered:

“This is a good thing. It not only broadens film financing channels, but also adjusts and improves film financing policies.

At the same time, it can also promote the rapid development of the industry and encourage film product innovation. This is a virtuous circle. "

"Yes, it's a good thing. Director Zhang's "Hero" and your "Inception" both created unprecedented copyright prices in the audio-visual market.

This has triggered a new round of competition for film products in the audio-visual market. Some unreleased films are said to have sold audio-visual copyrights. For example, "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" earned as much as 600 million yuan from this aspect alone. "

Speaking of this, Han Shanping suddenly sighed and said:

"As you said, these are all good things, but there are also many factors that are not conducive to development in this process. Do you know how many movies have been 'banned' as of this year?"

Before Jiang Peian could answer, Han Shanping stretched out his palm and said with a solemn expression:

"There are more than 50 films, and this is only in the first quarter. This number will only double in the next three quarters. There are some excellent films among them, and there are also several films that have won awards abroad, but the content is too much. …Improper thoughts are not conducive to spreading.”

Speaking of this, Jiang Peian suddenly remembered a particularly excellent underground movie, "The Blind Shaft".

"The Blind Shaft" premiered at the Berlin Film Festival in February this year, and defeated films such as Lao Mouzi's "Hero", Yoji Yamada's "Seihebei at Twilight", Alan Parker's "The Life of David Gore" and other films , won the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution.

Of course, "The Blind Shaft" has a reason to be a banned film. JB appears more than 50 times in the dialogue and there are all kinds of naughty words.

Coupled with the extremely sensitive real-life subject matter, it is simply unrealistic to pass the censorship.

In fact, this kind of thing is repeatedly banned, and making banned films has become a "glorious" tradition for sixth-generation directors.

Li Yang, the director of "The Blind Shaft" proposed a three-year "sentence" ban from filming this movie, but people didn't care.

I have already made a lot of money from selling the film rights, not to mention that I have won a grand prize and my reputation has suddenly increased.

In addition to "The Blind Shaft", Jiang Peian understood Han Shanping's worries.

After the liberalization of Hong Kong's film industry, it means that those monsters and monsters will bring more directors and works like Li Yang and "The Blind Shaft" to the mainland...

Strengthening film ideology will probably be the top priority of this exchange meeting!

"So, for this exchange meeting, we not only invited mainstream film directors, but also those directors who have violated the rules. We hope that these directors can return to the mainstream. It's okay to make mistakes, as long as they can correct them."

Han Shan said calmly.

Jiang Pei'an nodded and said:
"I understand what you mean. At the same time, I am giving everyone a vaccination and telling them that the red line must not be touched."

"That's probably what it means. There are also other issues, such as the film classification system proposed at the two sessions, the establishment of China Film Company, territorial censorship, the impact of imported blockbusters on domestic films, etc.

We must try our best to ensure information sharing with film and television creators in Hong Kong and eliminate information gaps.

From a long-term perspective, it is necessary to liberalize Hong Kong films and it will do more good than harm.

But how to guide and how to get through this difficult period is also a test for our mainland creators. "

"Pei'an, you are the representative of domestic young directors and No. 1. I hope you can use this exchange meeting to help me guide them."

　Sorry, sorry, I have been frantically making appointments with decoration companies to look at plans during this period. The new house has been postponed and I just got the key. I definitely don’t have the ability and time to decorate myself, so I made appointments with my wife and several half-package decoration companies. Today I finally got it. After it’s confirmed, the update will be resumed. Thank you all for your support, work hard to update, and work hard to make money!
