China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 700: Oscar

Redividing the film and television revenue sharing is not as simple as it sounds.

It involves interests from all sides.

If you say that you are giving him more money and making the pie bigger, then it's good for you, me and everyone else, but if you are taking money out of his pocket, then I'm sorry, I don't know you.

China Film Group?

China Film Group Corporation is not working either.

Not to mention that they are now just a company. Even if some local governments with administrative powers want to touch this kind of cake, they must be prepared for a protracted war.

All aspects must be taken care of before it can be implemented thoroughly.

Mr. Han’s research and analysis is just a proposal and is not binding at all.

Look at these cinema companies, which one of them is not backed by a large group?

Putting aside Star Media International Cinemas under China Film Group and Star Cinemas under Star Entertainment, the remaining ones, Wanda Cinemas, Shanghai United, Beijing New Film Association, and Guangzhou Jinyi, all of them have powerful owners behind them.

Those who run cinemas are inevitably linked to real estate.

And everyone who works in real estate is a gangster.

There is no need to talk about Wanda, the biggest one. Look at his eldest son, he is almost becoming the disciplinary committee member of the entertainment industry.

Shanghai United is not deeply involved in real estate, but Shanghai Film Group is different from China Film. Its main income comes from theater distribution and copyright transactions, which has nothing to do with production.

Although Mr. Ren is also working on improving the production capabilities of Shanghai Film Group, for example, the in-depth cooperation with Star Sky on "Only You" is an active attempt by Shanghai Film Group.

But at present, the production business still does not account for the majority, and the possibility of agreeing to this agreement is very slim.

As for the remaining three companies, although the financial backers behind them are not large national groups, they are all well-known and powerful local companies.

How is it possible that people would just agree to an initiative issued by China Film Group?

Anyway, Sun Yi was not very optimistic about the proposal to modify the profit sharing.

Even though President Han said that the first step only requires a 4 percentage point increase, half of which is a bargaining amount for the theater chain, that is to say, his ultimate goal is for the producer to enjoy a % share of the movie box office after tax.

But Sun Yi still feels that the theaters will not give in.

Last year's national box office revenue exceeded 10 billion yuan, and this year's expected increase is expected to reach 130%.

A change of these two points would mean a difference of hundreds of millions. Who can let it go easily?

Even if this can be accomplished, it will probably take a year or two to study it.

Anyway, Xingkong will just sign it, which is also a way to give face to President Han.

After dealing with this matter, Sun Yi still failed to leave and waited for another day.

The reason was that Liu Yifei wouldn't let him leave, and insisted that he must catch up with her weekend break to see Sun Yi off.

Capital International Airport, business jet terminal.

Ever since experiencing the convenience of a business jet during the Chinese New Year, Sun Yi has fallen in love with this service.

Not only is it highly private, it is also convenient and fast.

In fact, real big stars usually travel by business jets. Taking ordinary flights is usually for special circumstances, such as missing out on a business jet reservation or having a temporary trip and no crew, so they can only take ordinary flights.

In later generations, those young handsome men were seen going in and out of airport terminals, accompanied by a team of bodyguards. It was not a trip at all, but they were there specifically to create topics that became trending searches.

Like Liu Yifei taking a plane to attend an event, unless it is necessary, there are usually only a few people.

This time, Sun Yi was also accompanied by Sheng He as his driver and bodyguard. After landing, he was picked up by staff from North American Sky.

"When can you come back?"

They hadn't seen each other for more than ten days, and now they had to separate again as soon as they met. Liu Yifei was reluctant to leave and wiped away her tears.

"I'm just going to attend the Oscars. It's not a big event. It'll only take a few days. I guess you'll be able to see me after you finish your astronaut training."

Sun Yi felt very proud and happy about Liu Yifei's reluctance to let her go.

"How many days will it take?"

"Well, it will take at least three to five days. The round trip will take two days."

Seeing that the girl looked like she had something to say, Sun Yi thought that she was upset about his running around. His heart softened, and he was about to say a few words of comfort to her, but he was choked back by her.

"If you have three or five days~~~Brother, you can go and see our plane when you have time."

"!!!!"

I am truly myself!
Outside the Kodak Theatre, Hollywood, Los Angeles.

A long red carpet has been laid out.

It is said that this red carpet is very valuable and requires a team of 20 people and a whole day to lay it out.

And it's not reusable, it's a disposable item and will be destroyed after tonight.

I can only say that Hollywood is worthy of its extravagant and decadent lifestyle, and it is generous when it comes to spending money.

At this time, on both sides of the red carpet, there were thousands of media reporters from all over the world gathered. Like the fans behind them, they were all looking at the end of the red carpet with anticipation, waiting for the arrival of the limousines.

Among the group of reporters, there was a small group of reporters gathered together. They were different from their colleagues around them and were very eye-catching in the crowd.

Because their skin color is all yellow, and they don’t speak English, but authentic Mandarin.

"Will Director Sun walk the red carpet?"

"Of course! Both 'The Vanishing Guest' and 'Pacific Rim' have been nominated for awards. How can Director Sun not walk the red carpet?"

"Pay attention for a while, get the angle right, and start filming as soon as Director Sun arrives. The first thing you need to do is grab the front page headlines."

"I don't know if Director Sun can win the award tonight."

"Although I also hope so, to be honest, it's a bit uncertain. It's probably just a passing fad. Think about it, no mainland filmmaker has won a major Oscar yet."

"I don't think so. Pacific Rim is fine, but the old stubborn people in the Oscars have always disliked science fiction movies. Even Avatar didn't get nominated for many awards. But The Invisible Guest is a suspense film, and it's also an authentic English film. Maybe it has a chance to win an award?"

"If you put it that way, it's possible, but the hope is slim. The opponents this year are too strong."

"Yeah, I can tell that The King's Speech is going for an Oscar, as well as Natalie Portman's Black Swan, The Social Network, True Grit, The Fighter, and A Mistake. Oh my god, my goodness, after all this calculation, my hope is even slimmer."

"Come on, get ready, the red carpet ceremony is about to begin. Sun Yi is only in his twenties, it's already impressive to be nominated, what else do you want? I believe he will definitely win the Oscar for Best Director in the future!"

"Uh-huh."

The Chinese reporters gathered together, fiddling with their cameras and chatting animatedly. They lamented the fierce competition at this year's Oscars, but at the same time hoped that Sun Yi would stand out and win a round of awards. They were extremely conflicted.

Although if Sun Yi wins the award, it will most likely be for "The Invisible Guest" rather than a Chinese-language film like "Pacific Rim", but after all, he is a Chinese with a good family background, and winning the award is an honor.

In previous media publicity, this year's Oscars was once considered to be the most competitive one in the past three years.

It can be said that there are many excellent films.

It can be seen from just one point that Inception, which is the most familiar film to domestic movie fans and has excellent box office and word-of-mouth, has no obvious advantage in this year's Oscar nominations. Even in the predictions of professional film critics, it is not very optimistic.

This shows how fierce the competition is this year.

In the red carpet waiting area, Leo had already started chatting with Sun Yi.

“Leon, how did you manage to get back to this figure in just three months?”

Sun Yi asked while patting his belly.

She had lost a lot of weight during the filming of "Ladas Buyers Club", but this time she not only recovered to her original size, but even exceeded it.

We’re almost there with that classic “water gun” photo.

Leonardo shrugged slightly embarrassedly and replied to Sun Yi:
"My friend, after filming Dallas Buyers Club, I realized that life is so wonderful, so of course we should enjoy it while we can. That way, we can make the most of our life."

Leonardo certainly didn't say this exactly, but that's roughly what he meant.

Sun Yi was a little helpless.

This movie is made to give you enlightenment.

Or maybe the fact that this year's "The Lost Tomb" wasn't even nominated for Best Actor allowed you to completely let yourself go?

"Leon, 'Dallas Buyers Club' will be released in June. Do you have time to participate in the promotion?"

Back to business, Leonardo was obviously more serious.

He now places all his hopes on this movie, waiting to avenge his previous defeat next year.

"Don't worry, I will definitely make time for it."

"Ah That's good."

"By the way, I heard that you came here by yourself this time and Crystal didn't come with you. Do you want me to take you to experience the American party culture in depth?"

You see, this person is so clever as to speak.

They were talking about serious matters one second and started talking nonsense the next.

Although the girl did not accompany him on this trip to North America, Sun Yi still has his own principles.

"Call me in advance on that day."

At 16:83 pm Los Angeles time, the red carpet ceremony of the rd Academy Awards officially began.

On the red carpet, group after group of guest crews arrived and took photos for the reporters and fans on both sides.

The enthusiastic media reporters around were taking pictures crazily, with flashes flashing non-stop.

After many big names walked by, a black limousine drove to the end of the red carpet. Sun Yi, dressed in a suit and tie, got out of the car with Chris Evans and Elizabeth Olsen.

The Chinese press corps, who had been silent for the entire afternoon, immediately went crazy.

"Director Sun Yi! Look over here!"

"Director Sun, do you think we can win an award at tonight's awards ceremony?"

"Director Sun, here, smile!"

Not only the Chinese reporters, but also the blond-haired and blue-eyed foreign reporters pointed their cameras at him.

Among the three of them, Chris Evans is still known as box office poison. Once someone is labeled as such in Hollywood, he is basically hated by everyone. Elizabeth Olsen is basically a newcomer. She was able to participate this time just to see the world.

Only Sun Yi is worth filming.

Originally, there were not many Chinese people in Hollywood, and only a few of them could stand out.

For example, Li An, Brother Cheng Long, Brother Lianjie and so on.

But all of them have worked in Hollywood for many years. There are very few, or to be more precise, no one like Sun Yi who is as young as he is and has already enjoyed a certain degree of fame in Hollywood.

Especially for those fans who like suspense and science fiction films.

"Sun, look at me!"

"Come here!"

At this moment, in China, countless movie fans are leaning over their computer screens to watch the live broadcast of this year's Oscars.

When Sun Yi came on stage, he was wearing a well-fitting suit, with his back straight, a smile on his face, and a steady pace as he walked across the red carpet while waving. His temperament was perfectly in place.

When it comes to appearance, Sun Yi has some debates with those handsome male stars. After all, different people have different tastes, and there are always people who like different types.

But if he is put among a group of directors, it would be a real blow to his dimensionality, and he would look like a typical oriental handsome guy.

In the live broadcast room, following Sun Yi's footsteps, barrages of comments were flying all over the sky.

"Walking onto the red carpet is the crew of The Invisible Guest, led by a Chinese face who is the famous young Chinese director Sun Yi."

"Are you attending a sports meet? And you're walking towards me."

"You tell me, who on Earth doesn't know Sun Yi?"

"Quick, quick, guess whether he can win the prize or not."

"Don't mess around, this is a green live broadcast room, and the promotion of gambling and drugs is prohibited."

"Upstairs, you didn't mention the yellow word at all!"

"Off topic, off topic, Fairy Sister posted on Weibo, go check it out."

At this time, Liu Yifei was also paying attention to this year's Oscars. Although she could not be there to accompany Sun Yi, it did not affect her cheering for Sun Yiyun at all.

Look, the red carpet ceremony hasn't even ended yet, but she's already celebrating in advance.

Liu Yifei: "Congratulations to my brother for winning an Oscar. Don't ask me which one it is, just take whichever one it is!"

Sun Yi was specifically mentioned below.

Liu Yifei acted like a funny person. Even though she knew Sun Yi couldn't see her at the moment, she still did it.

The main focus is support!
On the other hand, in North America, Sun Yi had already entered the theater lobby. Not long after he sat down, the 83rd Academy Awards ceremony officially began.

The process is no different from that in China.

Although there was no so-called leadership speech.

But there were also various Hollywood celebrities who came on stage to talk.

Basically the same.

The host is quite different from previous years.

For the first time, the show abandoned the convention of having comedians as hosts and hired a pair of young actors, 32-year-old James Franco and 28-year-old Anne Hathaway.

I thought it would be a famous scene where men and women teamed up and the work was not tiring, but I didn't expect it to almost turn into a live broadcast accident.
