China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 210 Discussions go nowhere

On February 2012, 2, the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, He Fang took a few Chinese creatives to bid farewell to several Hollywood stars, and then boarded a plane facing east and west in diametrically opposite directions at the airport.

When he arrived in the capital, He Fang bid farewell to Fan Bingbing, Wu Jing and Hou Yong, then got into the car and returned to his villa in the capital.Since they came back quietly, no reporter got any news, which made their respective schedules easier.

Afterwards, Wang Tiejun, the general manager of Huying, as the representative of Huying's general meeting, came to talk to He Fang about the situation of the next day's meeting. Film groups, representatives from theaters, relevant scholars and professors, and various film and television associations...

He Fang didn't expect such a big momentum from the higher-ups. This is because he attaches great importance to his plan, which is a good thing.

Wang Tiejun didn't bother for too long, he left after the two agreed on a general direction, and he had to revise his speech.

In the evening, He Fang still prepared some materials for the next day's meeting. He made two-handed preparations, wrote a speech, and made a PPT.

Because he doesn't know whether tomorrow's meeting is a retreat or a pragmatic one. If it is a retreat, then read it according to the speech. If it is a pragmatic one, then use the PPT to talk about dry things.

After finishing these two preparations, He Fangfang had a good night's sleep, and got up early the next day to do a set of Tai Chi in the yard. The fight was a little sluggish, which was related to too much energy consumed during this period.

Of course, he also practiced with Tong Weidong some basic skills of "picking flower darts", that is, practicing the skill of swinging his wrists. He also envied Tong Weidong's ability to pick up anything at random and throw it out like a dart to hurt people.

This kind of thing is fun to practice, and it is useless to practice this thing in this modern society.

After practicing the morning exercises, He Fang had breakfast, then asked Tong Weidong to drive to the meeting, and picked up Wang Tiejun at the hotel by the way.

"He Fang, I asked Secretary Hong and said that today's meeting is pragmatic, and he said that you can speak PPT without any problem." Wang Tiejun talked to He Fang about it as soon as he got in the car.

"Ah, thank you Uncle Wang for helping me with the question. Fortunately, I've made two preparations, and it's okay to be pragmatic."

"The new big leader likes to be practical, and now he is doing things pragmatically. So let's talk about practical things later. Secretary Hong asked me to tell you to come up with some dry goods. This time, the boss wants to be serious."

He Fang nodded, took out the cigarette case, and handed one to Wang Tiejun.

"Then I understand, Uncle Wang."

Soon, they came to the compound and were stopped by the security guards. After Wang Tiejun called Secretary Hong, he let them in.

When I came to the conference room, many people arrived, quite a few, forty or fifty.

There are some representatives of the film and television industry, and there are leaders above the director level of various relevant departments, whom no one knows. Some people were introduced by Wang Tiejun, Han Sanping or Yu Dong and others.

At nine o'clock, the leaders of the Ministry and the General Administration arrived at the scene together. After everyone applauded and welcomed, the meeting began.

As the host, the Secretary-General introduced the main idea and process of the meeting.

"...Since the market reform in 93 and the theater chain reform in 01, the film and television industry has achieved remarkable achievements after more than ten years of development. However, the film and television industry has also ushered in new challenges. Comrade He Fang, as a front-line director and practitioner I wrote a report on these challenges to the Ministry, and the Ministry attached great importance to it, so this meeting will mainly discuss the feasibility of Comrade He Fang’s report and some directions and challenges for the development of the film and television industry.”

"Next, let's listen to Comrade He Fang's explanation first, and then listen to everyone's discussion. Comrade He Fang is invited to speak."

"Papa..." The crowd applauded.

Faced with such a meeting, He Fang was still a little unaccustomed to it, it was too serious.

He Fang turned on the microphone in front of his desk, and clicked on the PPT.

"..." After a series of respectful so-and-so, he began to enter the text.

"... At present, my country's film and television industry has encountered huge opportunities and challenges. This opportunity is that with the growth of the domestic economy, the residents' demand for spiritual and cultural life is increasing. Here is a table that lists the The growth curve of our box office, and the growth curve of film and television advertising revenue..."

"According to the forecast of economists, ten years later, my country's economic aggregate will grow to more than 2022 trillion U.S. dollars in 17, and the output value of our film and television industry will reach trillions. The part allocated to the movie box office will Reaching more than 700 billion yuan, the scale of the TV series..."

"Such a large growth market is a great opportunity for our film and television industry in the future. However, how to seize this opportunity and lay a solid foundation for the development of our film and television industry requires a series of policies and systems to protect it."

"Everyone knows that I worked with Huying Group to industrialize the film industry, and it has achieved initial results. But the basis for this initial success was born under a series of new systems, rather than throwing money into the market to grow freely."

"With the popularity of my recently released movie "Pacific Rim", some market capital is gearing up for the development of the film and television industry, and they all want to get a share of the action. Is this a good situation? Of course, and I believe Everyone welcomes it. Because there is no capital injection, many developments are sudden talk.”

"However, if the capital is injected and left alone, it will be a disaster. Here I will give a few examples of Hollywood development..."

Next, He Fang talked about several examples of capital manipulation, power and sex trading, money laundering and tax evasion, financial derivatives, and ideological output and industry monopoly in the development process of Hollywood.

Especially the examples of ideological output and industry monopoly are very detailed, because this situation is still spreading in Hollywood, that is, Hollywood’s political correctness, they promote the legitimacy of the transgender minority, they promote the legality of marijuana and other items, etc. .

"So, if we let the influx of capital in the next big development of the domestic film and television industry go, then in the near future, we will see these chaotic phenomena:"

At this time, He Fang pointed to some of the chaos listed on the PPT.

"One, if someone uses a film and television project to make derivative financial products to collect money from the people, for example, a certain big movie project is divided into 10 yuan by some companies and sold to ordinary people, and then through this illegal fundraising This method can easily collect billions or tens of billions of money, but the box office of a movie can't support billions or tens of billions, let alone profits? So this is a way to use movies to raise funds for other businesses .Once the thunder explodes and the fundraisers run away, it will not only be a major financial event, but will also have a huge impact on the development of the film and television industry.”

"Second, film and television stars have the effect of gathering crowds and attracting money. Some people will use the characteristics of the film and television industry to make money quickly to package some handsome and beautiful artists who are not up to the standard in business ability, making them stars, and then pass Various endorsements, film and television works to realize and collect money.

For example, in order to skyrocket the value of these artists, they develop their own film and television projects, then offer high salaries to these artists to drive up their value, and then buy a large number of fans as support for their popularity, and finally use this value and popularity to grab endorsements, film and television resources, Grabbing commercial activities to achieve the purpose of cashing out money through celebrities.

But these artists are using performances without acting skills to destroy film and television works, and using bad atmosphere to guide fans. How much harm will it do to the film and television industry?How harmful is it to society?This will eventually become an obstacle to the development of the film and television industry. When the public no longer believes in any stars, the industry will decline. "

"Third, when the film and television industry developed, in order to pursue big-name stars to participate in performances, and let the fans of the stars compete for the box office or ratings, would the investors spend 70% or more of the production fee in order to grab star actors? How about paying high stars as film salaries? In order to avoid certain risks, will they sign some yin and yang contracts to so-called reasonable tax avoidance? Or increase star film salaries in disguise?"

"Fourth, if a film and television company wants to go public in the future, it doesn't need to be very rigorous. As long as the most famous stars become shareholders of the company, can they easily make money in the stock market?"

"Fifth, money laundering. There are many film and television professionals here, and they all know that a lot of expenses in the process of film and television production are actually IOUs. And this is precisely the easiest way for some illegals to launder money."

"Sixth, the penetration of ideology. When China's film and television develops, will some ideology, such as Japanese and Korean men's neutralization, penetrate in? Will it affect young people?"

"Seventh, how to unify the standards and reward and punishment systems of various industries? There are some artists whose private life has caused serious adverse social impact, or some artists have taken drugs and made some remarks that hate the country and betray the country. If there is no standard for such vicious incidents No way.

What's more, we also need to have an excellent reward system to make those artists who are truly talented and talented become entertainment stars and become positive publicity. "

"..."

He Fang talked eloquently. After listing these things, some people in the audience couldn't sit still. They had something to say.

It took He Fang more than half an hour to explain the plan he made, and then the audience burst into applause.

"Now we're entering the discussion session. Those who want to speak raise their hands." Just as Secretary Hong finished speaking, someone raised their hand.

"I personally think this is even more extreme than before the film and television industry was marketized. This is retrogression. What is marketization? Marketization is to let the market speak, not so many rules and regulations mentioned by He Fang. The market will naturally choose what it likes. Yes, there is no need to intervene. Whoever lists so many clauses is interfering with marketization, so I oppose it. We can achieve today’s achievements by relying on the marketization route, and I firmly oppose this anti-marketization behavior.”

Before Secretary Hong could speak, He Fang spoke.

"Marketization does not mean letting go. According to what you said, our film development should be market-oriented. Then I can tell you, if the Lake Film Group does not take the initiative to intervene in the market, when will a film like "Pacific Rim" be released? Can it be filmed? When will our Chinese film heavy industry develop?"

"Which company dares to make such a movie before the Chinese film and television market fails to recover the cost of a sci-fi blockbuster? Besides, even if the market grows, the industrialization foundation will not be built in five or eight years. "

"That is to say, according to the marketization you mentioned, it will take at least ten years for us to make a movie like "Pacific Rim". That is to say, the next ten years will definitely allow Hollywood movies to harvest our box office unscrupulously, and then we will leave it alone."

"On the other hand, if the marketization occurs and the chaos I listed before is ignored, right? When old artists are besieged by packaged fresh meat fans one day? When one day celebrity artists publicly slander Don’t we care about our martyrs? When a large number of ordinary people are defrauded of tens of billions by financial fraud one day?”

He Fang asked several times.

"Of course we can't control it. Let the market adjust the market problems. As long as there is enough time, the market will naturally fix these problems." The man resolutely refuted.

"Hmph, haha... I can see that you have been thoroughly brainwashed by the marketization of neoliberalism in Europe and the United States. Europe and the United States persuade neoliberalism in all countries in the world to talk about marketization, which is to let their companies enter Harvest the related industries of other countries, and then let these countries not intervene, they package this as 'free behavior of the market'. You mean that we don't care about anything, and then Hollywood movies come in to harvest the market, and Hollywood's The company swallowed our industry?"

He Fang laughed angrily.

"That's also a market behavior. Only by marketizing our film and television industry can we truly develop, and only by marketizing can we save China." The man still insisted.

"..." He Fang spread his hands and was speechless, "Then I have nothing to say, everyone treat my proposal as a fart, I don't have time to sit here and argue with such a person. If our cultural mouth is full of With this kind of thinking, I dare to guarantee that within ten years, we will cultivate a group of traitors and traitors."

He Fang said and got up to leave.

"Hey, He Fang, sit down." Wang Tiejun quickly pulled He Fang.

"What? Where do you dare to fight against the policy? We have been able to grow our economy so far because we insist on marketization, and we..."

"Okay, shut up." One of the main leaders on the stage patted the table, while the other leaders looked indifferent, as if they were happy to see this kind of disagreement.

"It's not for you to quarrel. You talk so loudly, why don't you industrialize the film industry, why don't you make a "Pacific Rim" and sell it all over the world?"

"..."

The ensuing discussion turned into an ideological dispute, which was simply nonsense. He Fang thought that such a meeting was at best a bureaucratic talk, and then fooled it, or the leader came forward and overwhelmingly supported his plan. He just had to wait. Think about the plan, and then everyone praises it, and the leader makes a decision and it's over.

Who knew it would develop like this?It ended up being a line battle.

The key is does his plan involve routes?No, the plan is very clear, even Hollywood has these rules and regulations, why has it turned into a line dispute when it comes to us?
He Fang glanced at the several leaders sitting on the stage, and he seemed to understand something, there are factions everywhere, obviously there are also here.

Some people are neo-liberal market faction, so it will be so.It is also possible that they used this meeting to block He Fang's proposal in an open and aboveboard manner. After all, He Fang's influence is so great now, if they are completely ignored, it will cause opinions from all walks of life.

But what if it is shelved because of huge internal differences?That's another story.Then it proves that Fang Fang's proposal is not perfect and needs to be discussed further. As for how long this discussion will last, I don't know.

After thinking about it this way, He Fang understood all the joints at once. This is the same as in some places. Opposition groups have been fostered by people, and then they disrupt the policies that are beneficial to your development, so that you cannot develop.

On the stage, Director Wang, Vice Minister Gu, and the leaders who agreed with He Fang's proposal all frowned deeply. It seemed that it was more complicated than they imagined.

As a result, this discussion was fruitless, and most people saw that two factions had formed, and they got along with each other.

"Okay, that's the end of this discussion, let's discuss it next time..." Secretary Hong finished his speech.

"There's no need for a next time. If things go on like this, let alone a hundred times next time, there won't be any results. I'm a director, and I don't have time to waste time with you here. If you object, forget it, and it won't affect you anyway." I make movies to make money." After He Fang finished speaking, he picked up his briefcase and left the scene angrily.

"Hey, what kind of attitude, so many..."

"Shut up, it's against the sky, right?" The leader on the stage pointed at the speaker and cursed angrily. After scolding, the leader glanced at the other leaders, then shook his sleeves and left.

Unexpectedly, in this replacement year, someone would make their differences public.

　At the end of the month, I will ask for a monthly ticket for five consecutive days, and I ask the veterans to support it!
