"What Director Xie said." Zhang Yimou said this after a long time, he put on such a sentence, which attracted Xie Jin's dissatisfaction.

You kid's combat power is not good!

Zhang Yimou had a fever on his face and lowered his head.

Comrade Sun, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke at this moment, "The comrades said very well. "The Opium War" is a key film for the return. Not only our radio and television department, but also the leaders of ZY attach great importance to it.

He said this with a friendly attitude, "So, I also hope that Comrade Chaoyang, Director Xie, and Director Zhang can understand our good intentions."

Xie Jin smiled all over his face, "Understanding, everyone's high standards and strict requirements for us are also for the sake of better filming and worthy of the expectations of the people."

Comrade Sun nodded and continued, "Comrade Chaoyang just explained and explained the opinions put forward by our radio and television and several other comrades one by one, which is a good idea.

We have reached a consensus on several issues that should be revised--

Comrade Sun's final decision made Xie Jin feel relieved. It seems that this time has been passed today.

Listening to Comrade Sun's speech, the Lin family felt a little disappointed.

Lin Chaoyang shook his head, really unable to understand why they were obsessed with shaping their ancestors into a perfect person?

Thinking of this, his tone slowed down, "Mr. Lin's reputation is left in history, and his unswerving patriotism and his spirit of national integrity do not need to be praised.

When we engage in literary and artistic creation, we may have some repressive actions in shaping characters, but it will never damage the character of our ancestors."

His words were sincere and earnest, and the Lin family could not help but nodded after hearing this.

Comrade Sun laughed and said, "Comrade Chaoyang said it well! With such an awareness, why worry about not being able to make good works!"

The tense atmosphere in the conference room disappeared at the end and was full of joy.

At the end of the meeting, Lin Chaoyang walked with Comrade Liu, the new director of the Film Bureau.

"Next year, you, Lin, of the United States, will have to make more movies, and the wealth will not flow to outsiders."

Since the film reform in mid-1992, the domestic film industry has been constantly moving. Last year, the Film Bureau tightened its policy of co-production, but it turned around and announced that China Film can import 10 blockbusters every year through box office sharing.

The key to the introduction is "a film that basically reflects the world's excellent cultural achievements, contemporary film art and technological achievements."

But in fact, all film practitioners understand that is not just giving the green light to Hollywood blockbusters?

After the document was published, not only the film industry, but also the cultural industry and many veteran cadres expressed their dissatisfaction with the document.

Yanjing Film Company wrote a special letter to Comrade Sun on Radio and Television for this matter, saying that "Let American films occupy our film market and use Chinese box office to fatten foreign film merchants will not be conducive to stabilizing the morale of the entire film industry."

In addition to the dissatisfaction of local film departments, many media such as Drama and Film have also raised questions about this matter. The public opinion storm has not stopped since the beginning of the year, and the current pressure on the film bureau is also very high.

However, the introduction of 10 blockbusters is not something they can decide, a small department-level unit, but to put it bluntly, it is related to the policies of the upper level.

The Film Bureau is actually open to the introduction of 10 blockbusters.

There are two reasons. One is that foreign blockbusters can indeed have a certain catfish effect, which is a little driving force for the domestic film industry that is now stagnant.

The second is in the era of China Film Underwriting, issuing companies in various provinces and cities have long developed the phenomenon of intercepting box office funds, and illegal acts of secretly concealing and underreporting are commonplace.

After implementing the box office split distribution method, foreign film companies and China Film Company will supervise box office recycling, and the above box office chaos will naturally be improved to a certain extent.

In 1995, the 10 blockbusters introduced in China have long been confirmed, namely "Red Fan District", "The True Lie", "The Lion King", "Dallas Buyers Club", "The Unforgettable Dream of the Covered Bridge", "The Game of the Brave", "Broken Arrow", "Toy Story", "Piano Lesson", and "Speed ​​of Life and Death".

Since the previous year, 6 blockbusters have been released.

Including several Hollywood movies released in batches such as "Die Hard 3" and "Jedi Men", the top 20 mainland movies in the box office rankings were almost half of the box office and foreign blockbusters were swept away by more than 400 million.

The only thing that is gratifying is that 4 of these 10 blockbusters were produced by Lin's American, and one of them was produced by Pixar Animation, a subsidiary of Lin's brother's company Bubble Universe.

If you make money from your own people, it won’t be considered a loss.

Lin Chaoyang asked Comrade Liu with a joke, "I can't give us all the 10 quotas, right?"

"It is impossible to have 10 movies. 4 movies a year in the next few years, and 5 movies will not be a problem." Comrade Liu said in a light tone.

"Then I'll let Yushu work harder." Lin Chaoyang said with a smile.

"Not only foreign production, but also domestic production business has to work harder. You have the advantages of technology, creativity, capital and talent, and you also have to lead your domestic peers."

"I said why are you so kind to us? You really are waiting for me here. The old saying goes, teach your disciples and starve the master to death!"

"Isn't the situation small? Your Lin Family Pictures is the light of Chinese films. You must look at the problem from the perspective of the industry!"

After parting with Comrade Liu, Lin Chaoyang complained to Xie Jin, "These leaders are really conscientious. If you are not careful, you will easily get their words!"

"This is kind enough. Has Haolei benefited you again, right?" Xie Jin said.

"If he doesn't give it to us, won't he give it to others? He gives it to anyone."

No matter how much jokes are, in fact, Lin's Film has made not very small contribution to the domestic film industry in recent years. She has made twenty or thirty movies alone.

Unfortunately, these studios have a hard time turning around. It is impossible to solve the problem by relying on a few co-production movies.

After getting in the car, Lin Chaoyang complained about Xie Jin again, "You said you are a member of the ZX Standing Committee. If something happens, I have to charge in the battle. Is it embarrassing to lose it?"

"How old am I? If you let me stand in front, are you so embarrassed?"

"What's wrong with me? Are you going to shoot the movie?"

The two of them had a few words, and Xie Jin said, "The leaders of ZY are concerned about the "Opportune War" and they dare not get stuck in the radio and television industry. Otherwise, you think that your attitude of meetings can be settled in Comrade Sun?"

"What's wrong with my attitude? Have I changed three points?

When they touched their mouths, I had to make trouble for several days. Isn’t I enough to give face?"

Xie Jin snorted, "If you change to another writer, do you want to try it?"

Zhang Yimou fell behind, nodded silently, feeling the same.

That is Teacher Chaoyang.

That was in front of the Shangshu-level leader, Teacher Chaoyang had such a tough attitude at that time, and Zhang Yimou felt that changing someone would not only be criticized.

"Opium War" is valued by the leaders above, and the project will definitely continue, but I am afraid the screenwriter will have to change his person.

Even if you are an investor, it won't work.

"Yimu, don't nod." Xie Jin found someone to share the firepower.

Zhang Yimou lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "With you two here, how can I speak!"

He picked up Lin Chaoyang and Xie Jin with one sentence, which made it difficult for him to criticize him again. Xie Jin smacked his lips, "No need to be able to hold a meeting with such eloquence!"

Half a month later, the script of "Opium War" was officially finalized.

Lin Chaoyang finally took off the burden on his body and felt relaxed, but Xie Jin didn't want him to relax at all. He just held the script in his hand and made a fortune one by one!

I visited Hengdian these days and found that Guangzhou Street there was indeed more in line with the shooting needs of "Opium War" and could save a lot of shooting funds.

But even so, after careful calculations, the investment in the film still reached 100 million yuan.

The emergence of Hengdian Film and Television City left a large amount of money on the set.

But to create visual wonders, the exquisiteness of the costumes, the costumes, the trajectory and the setting must be further improved, and all these have to be paid.

Moreover, according to Lin Chaoyang's opinion, this movie, like "The Battle of Red Cliff", still needs to use a star strategy and use a few Hong Kong stars, and the film pay is a lot of money.

Later movie audiences have long disgraced the stars. As long as they are not good-looking, the king of heaven will fail when he comes, and vice versa.

But the current movie audience still has a strong filter for celebrities, and enabling movie stars is a visibility for the box office.

Xie Jin's investment in "The Battle of Red Cliff" star Ruyun only invested 30 million yuan. Now the production cost of "The Battle of Opium" has soared to 100 million yuan. If others say it, he feels worried.

"This is 100 million!"

In order to shoot "Opium War", Xie Jin specially established a Shanghai Opium War Film and Television Production Co., Ltd., whose shareholders include Lin Chaoyang, Shanghai Hengtong Film and Television Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Film Studio.

Among them, Lin Chaoyang personally invested 86 million yuan as the chief producer, and Hengtong invested 8 million yuan, which was already the limit of Xie Jinneng's raising. In addition, Shanghai Film Studio also invested 6 million yuan.

When Xie Jin looked at the string of "0" in the bank account, he couldn't help but sigh meaninglessly.

"Okay, stop reading. The money has arrived, and I will leave the next thing to you!" Lin Chaoyang said, patting his shoulder.

Xie Jin felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, and his body suddenly lowered.

"Don't worry!" He said firmly, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Chapter completed!
