China Entertainment 1981: Starting from Journey to the West

It was already dark, and the meeting, which lasted for more than four hours, was finally over.

But this is only the first meeting. It takes time and effort to gather people from all over the country during the first month of the year. It is definitely impossible to end in just one meeting.

In the next three days, two meetings will be held every day to discuss different issues.

When Gu Bei came out of the gate of the Beijing Hotel, anyone who saw him knew that he must be in a very good mood at the moment.

When the meeting just started, when it came to the free discussion period, someone stood up and attacked Gu Bei and his Mingqian Pictures. At first, it was just a few clicks, but as the number of speakers increased, more and more people spoke. The more people spoke, the more intense the atmosphere became, and the number of attacks on Gu Bei and Mingqian Pictures increased.

The main thing people say is that Mingqian Pictures' works have good schedules and a high production volume, which has seriously affected the survival of other film production companies.

Some people also said that Mingqian Pictures received special care and constantly suppressed its peers.

Gu Bei just sat calmly at first, taking note of everyone who jumped up.

Several of the production companies represented by these people have cooperated with Mingqian Pictures in the past, and they are considered to be the ones who have benefited from it, but now they are turning around and scolding them.

Originally, Gu Bei thought that since they were all colleagues, he could just complain and not take it seriously.

But when a representative of a certain company stood up and directly accused Gu Bei of wanting to create a monopoly in the country, Gu Bei really couldn't stand it anymore.

He wanted to refute, but Mr. Han kept his eyes firmly locked on him.

Got it!

If you don’t say it, don’t say it. See you later.

Gu Bei stopped talking, but those people became more and more energetic, and the range of their attacks became wider and wider.

While talking, I don’t know whether a certain representative’s head is being squeezed by the door, kicked by the donkey, or broken by bullshit.

He even jumped up and openly accused China Radio and Television and China Film Group of charging too high production fees, special film funds, and film support funds, leaving production units with no profit margins.

This can be regarded as stabbing a hornet's nest.

You know, since the establishment of China Film Group, many departments above have relied on this money to support themselves, but now someone actually dares to make use of this money.

Hey?

You are used to living a good life, you are so lost!

After the representative finished speaking, his face was full of pride, with a posture of "You don't dare, but I dare."

But he didn't notice that the representatives who were standing on the same front as him just now moved a little to both sides.

You're going to blow yourself up, but don't hurt us!

Gu Bei also watched happily, but soon he felt that the way Mr. Han looked at him was a little different. Just now it was a gag order, but now it turned into...

Fight him to death!
How could it be so unreasonable!

When Gu Bei was attacked just now, Mr. Han didn't let him speak in order to stabilize the unity. Now, seeing someone trying to touch the China Film Group's cake, he was about to let the tiger down the mountain.

Got it!

Who let Mr. Han be his backer!

Gu Bei slowly stood up, first explained one by one how the fees deducted from the box office by China Radio and Television and China Film Group were used, and then he caught the representative's speech and refuted them point by point in a particularly despicable way.

Halfway through, Gu Beiqing clearly saw that the representative took out a small maroon gourd from his pocket.

After helping Mr. Han out of the siege, it was his turn.

Each and every one of them has the same stuff!

Continue to fight!
There are prescribed procedures for arranging the schedule of each movie. Although there will be favors involved, no one will be stupid enough to make it clear.

what?

Are the leaders so unworthy in your eyes? Are they all fake and self-serving?
Or did you see with your own eyes that a certain leader accepted the gift?

As for the number of films made, this is easier to explain. After a movie is released and performs well, the number of films filmed will naturally increase. Everyone is here to make money. Don’t those movie theaters just want to make money and wait to drink the northwest wind?
Movies that make money will naturally have more screenings. Movies that don't make money will just stay there for as long as they can.

If you are picky about the small number of productions of your own movies, then work hard to improve the quality of your own works and don't act blindly here.

Gu Bei responded with a gun and a stick. Although he couldn't really quote scriptures like Zhuge Liang, when it came to talking, he really wasn't afraid of anyone.

One sentence can make people angry to death.

Wang Zhongjun, who was sitting in his seat, looked at Gu Bei with all his firepower and was secretly glad.Fortunately, he was smart and took Gu Bei's side in advance and didn't listen to other colleagues' nonsense. Otherwise, being scolded by Gu Bei would be shameful.

In the end, it was Han Sanye and other leaders who came out to clean up the mess and quell everyone's grievances.

But Mr. Han himself was also angry. When he spoke, he also beat some people hard.

The next time you open your mouth, put a lock under your nose, and spray everything out together.

A bunch of delegates at the conference hated the guy who said nothing, and they had already agreed that this time the target would be Mingqian Film and Television.

Although they all know that they are not reasonable at all, if they don't hum, how can they still hang out in the circle in the future?
Even if he started later than Mingqian, the gap is not so big!
Showing off the pitiful appearance of a wronged little man, the leaders above must consider what to do!
Got it!

This time it was settled, as I caught up with a big talker and directly offended the leader.

Isn't this bad luck?
The first round had just ended. What was supposed to be a warm-up turned into the final battle.

In the next few days of meetings, they basically had nothing to do, just watching others having fun.

But what they never expected was that as soon as the meeting started the next day, Gu Bei took the lead in firing!

Anyone who is involved in such circles in China knows that as a means of publicity, film review and supervision have always been very strong.

Moreover, although this industry has been liberalized, it only involves the production link. Production, distribution, and theaters have always been controlled by national brands, and private enterprises have no way to get involved.

As a result, Gu Bei not only proposed hierarchical review at the meeting, but also requested that private capital be allowed to enter theater construction.

"With reform, everyone here is an experiencer, participant, and at the same time a vested interest. Through reform, the country's economy has achieved leapfrog development. However, I believe everyone here is still aware of some of the circumstances of that year. I still remember clearly that I have a food processing factory under my name, and I believe everyone has heard of it, Xiaoxue Food Co., Ltd."

What?
Is Xiaoxue also Gu Bei's asset?
"This was a state-owned factory at the beginning, but due to poor management and lack of market competitiveness, it was eventually on the verge of bankruptcy. After being acquired by me and realizing a public-private partnership, I don't need to stress what Xiaoxue Food Co., Ltd. is now, right?"

What on earth are you going to say?

Why don't you understand a little bit?

"What I want to say is, cinema!!"

These two words came out of Gu Bei's mouth and immediately set off the scene. Everyone was stunned.

Yesterday, the person who owed money only mentioned the production fee and various special funds, and was severely criticized by Mr. Han in front of him.

What Gu Bei wants to touch now is not just the cake on top, he is planning to steal the boss's pot!
crazy!

This guy is crazy!

My guts are definitely hairy.

Gu Bei's opinion is actually very simple. The domestic cinema chain system should also introduce private capital. This will not only speed up the construction of domestic cinema chains, but also achieve healthy competition within the industry.

"As a filmmaker, I often go to cinemas to watch movies. However, I discovered a problem. Not only do the staff in many cinemas have extremely poor service attitudes, but the environment in the screening halls is also not good. Many cinemas are in disrepair. , not only is the screening room dirty and messy, but the supporting facilities are also in a mess. We always complain that the audience does not go to the cinema and is only willing to buy pirated copies. Should we also reflect on it, not only the colleagues from the production company who came to the conference today? We need to reflect on the production level of movies, and at the same time, I also implore leaders to go to the cinema and see it in person to see if the audience is still willing to go in in such an environment!"

Gu Bei's words not only shocked the representatives present, but also created a desire in their hearts.

Who can afford to watch movies, and who is short of money? !
But even if there is no shortage of money, who would dislike making money?

But the problem now is that production costs are getting higher and higher, but the share ratio has never increased. If things go on like this, who will continue to spend money in this industry.

If some rigid regulations cannot be changed, liberalizing theater chains and allowing private capital to participate in construction will undoubtedly open up another new path for everyone.

Even if you can't afford theaters, building a few cinemas in some second- and third-tier cities is not a problem at all!
But is it possible?

If the cake is not allowed to be touched, how can the pot be shared with everyone?
Representatives from some companies were gloating and watching the excitement, waiting for Gu Bei to be criticized.

Let you old boy bluster, now it's better, just wait for the bad luck!
But after waiting for a while, the leaders did not speak. Instead, they exchanged opinions in a low voice.

After a while, a radio and television leader stood up.

But it’s not to criticize Gu Bei, but...

"The suggestions put forward by Comrade Gu Bei are very pertinent. Whether it is the proposal of grading review or the proposal of liberalizing theater chains and allowing private capital to participate in construction, they are all to make our Chinese films better and better. Regarding these two proposals, we After the meeting, it will be compiled into a document and discussed and studied.”

What?
Still discussing?Research? ?
Shouldn't he point his finger at Gu Bei's nose and scold him?
crazy! !
All crazy!

but……

If it really works, the benefits will be for everyone!
Thinking of this, many people looked at Gu Bei.

It's so fierce!
