Ace Hollywood

.When Daniel walked into the familiar office of Radio and Television, he really had a lot of emotion in his heart. (Baidu search network updates the fastest and most stable)

When he was still in China, he had been summoned with different sixth-generation directors--a summons would be appropriate. Many of his previous works are difficult to define whether they are right or wrong, whether they are real or to meet international needs, but at least one point, a large part of them are not popular with radio and television.

It seems that around this time, China made a slight adjustment to the film policy, which cannot be called liberalization, because the relaxation in some places has brought more stringent implementation standards. It can be said that the scale of making movies in the past can be 60 or 80, and you get 50 points of criticism. Then after the change, you scale 60 will not be criticized, but scale 80 will be criticized will be 100 points. For some less "stubborn" people, like Jia Zhangke, that's a good thing, but for more intense directors, it's tantamount to murder.

In Daniel's vague Chinese memory, it is not easy to leave some pictures in this office, and it can also explain the deep impression it left on him.

After shaking his head a little, Daniel quickly replied after Sally's reminder.

The person who came forward was a deputy director of Pan, who was an acquaintance of Daniel in the previous life. Both China Film and Huaying were the bosses. Before coming back, Daniel admired them for a long time. They should have heard about Daniel, but the two sides lacked cooperation.

"Congratulations."

Deputy Director Pan's first sentence made Kusa, Sally, and others a little confused, but Daniel understood the thinking of these bureaucrats: secrecy can show their unpredictable and supernatural powers. This trip to China, the part that deserves congratulations, is definitely not the foundation - those are basically giving money to give technology. Their conversation with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology last night basically determined an investment framework for them in the fields of Internet and communications. Apparently, one night. Deputy Bureau Pan was aware of this achievement.

"We seek cooperation with sincerity, and I believe everyone feels this sincerity."

Daniel looked at him gently.

Obviously, Daniel's sophistication surprised Deputy Bureau Pan. The two sides talked nonsense for about an hour, and then President Han of China Film opened his mouth to point the theme.

"Mr. Sandler. We are actually very willing to cooperate with Hollywood. After all, Hollywood's film industry has a history of nearly 100 years and is very complete and developed, while the development of contemporary Chinese films has only been less than 20 years, and commercial films are even more advanced. It only started in the past few years. If we are not afraid of your jokes, we are all puzzled, what is there to cooperate with you. After all, cooperation is always for both parties. "

"Of course, cooperation is of course both parties. I would like to give a very simple example. I am here this time. We signed a cooperation agreement with the Rongcheng Giant Panda Base. Regarding our production of a Chinese-style animation "Kung Fu Panda", we Trying to help shape the image of A Bao, the protagonist panda in the movie, by observing the behavior of real giant pandas, this is a good demonstration of cooperation. China has a lot of material, and Hollywood has also made films such as "Mulan" ", "The Last Emperor" and other movies. Bruce Lee's kung fu is well-known in North America, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has also been highly praised, Chinese elements and Chinese style have more and more fans in the world . Hollywood has good technology. The developed film industry, if the two can be combined. This is beneficial to both parties.

Moreover, dd Pictures will also produce some local film products for the Chinese market. We will introduce the core competitiveness of the Hollywood film industry to China, how we make commercial blockbusters that make the world go crazy, and the superb services provided by our special effects technology company can also be provided to Chinese film companies. We attach great importance to the Chinese market. Chinese audiences should also watch more good works. "

Daniel did not mention the topic of the Chinese market - this problem is impossible to achieve a breakthrough at their level. Daniel wouldn't count on his own words to allow Deputy Bureau Pan and the two bosses to tell the Chinese leaders, let's open up more American films.

"We want to be more direct. Will the gap between the Chinese and American film industries be what some people worry about? Our market and industry will be impacted to pieces. If your dd film industry comes China, with the same policies as us, I quite doubt whether this competition is acceptable? Will we lose room to survive?"

Huaying's President Fu is very direct.

But Daniel laughed, "You are too modest, China is very unique. You know very little about the world and the United States, but at the same time, we know very little about China. Chinese film companies understand China far better than Hollywood. What does the audience want. Maybe you see some Hollywood commercial films have achieved good box office results in China, it does not mean that our competitiveness here is better than that of the local Chinese film industry. Even I think that if the Chinese film industry can Learning a more mature way in terms of technology, concept, and operation mechanism will be more effective than limiting the number of split accounts.

I think there is one thing you will agree with me. Learning is much faster than groping on your own. dd will bring the Hollywood mechanism to China, I think this is the most convenient way for you to learn. "

Daniel didn't expect these big figures to look down on Chinese movies so much - far more serious than what they said in the news.

So he changed tactics, trying to convince them by helping the Chinese film industry grow.

The effect looks good.

The conversation turned to how Chinese films should benefit from Hollywood.

During this period, Daniel also threw out his own chips, such as promoting Chinese-language films in North America, co-producing some works showing Chinese elements and the development of modern China, and how to help the Chinese film industry to improve its status in the global film industry etc.

The conversation was quite pleasant, and Daniel's "can talk about anything" way of thinking similar to that of the Chinese made Deputy Bureau Pan and the others very comfortable - this is relatively rare in communication with foreigners. At this stage, foreigners will list one, two, three, four, which is relatively rigid. That is the American way of communication. One request will not be implemented in half, and the other half will be left. Most of the work is to make the government fully accept it. this requirement.

Kusa and Sally didn't say anything during today's conversation.

Just talking about some Hollywood topics, Cusa said a few words, Sally didn't say anything at all, basically Daniel communicated directly with them. This is completely different from the previous plan of the two. In their opinion, the massive data they have prepared - box office results, peripheral development system, a series of authoritative rankings, these should be important materials in the talks, which can make China In terms of fully aware of the capabilities of dd film industry, both in production and market control, it is worth learning from the Chinese film industry.

Unfortunately, from the beginning to the end, the conversations between Daniel and these Chinese officials were all specious, and there was no concrete data to support them. The two sides have come and gone, and many of them are macro topics, which are for the future prospects - or utopian.

But in the end it did achieve good results. ,

Because when Deputy Bureau Pan spoke at the end, although he did not express his support, he still implicitly said that the SARFT expects the local industry to learn more useful things from Hollywood, so as to realize the great development of Chinese film culture. In the Chinese context, this is basically equivalent to support.

"This is indeed a very inexplicable country." Kusa shook his head. "A completely different civilization does make other countries feel unreasonably threatened. Daniel, is this a success? dd China can start working ?"

What Kusa said about dd China is an independent Chinese company invested by dd Pictures—that is, an upgraded version of the current dd Pictures China office. It is registered in Beijing, China, and belongs to a joint venture. The next series of plans , must wait until the relationship between all parties is opened before starting.

"It's not that easy, there are still many things to do." Daniel shook his head, "We have to choose a company to cooperate with, and it is impossible for China Film to directly invest in dd China."

In China, access to the media industry is a key area. In 2004, China made regulations on the access of foreign capital in this field. Foreign capital is not allowed to enter the distribution field, but it can enter the production field in a joint venture with Chinese capital - it should be noted that foreign capital cannot control, and cannot exceed 49% of the equity at most. There is no way to do this, and it will still be this policy ten years later.

...

Daniel, who flew from the capital to Shanghai, basically ended the main work of this trip to China. Next, the Shanghai International Film Festival will support the scene and industry exchanges.

He also knows that several private film companies in China are now very wary of his arrival. Because China has always had a very bizarre situation - it is better to give to foreign thieves than to domestic slaves, that is, to give foreigners ~www.novelmt.com~ rather than private enterprises. This existed in many industries at the end of the last century. Because of the lack of technology, state-owned enterprises would rather let foreign companies earn most of the money and directly purchase them for assembly, but do not allow private companies to enter related industries. Of course, the situation is much better now, but it does not rule out the possibility of China Film and Radio and Television going crazy.

Huayi Brothers and Weinstein Pictures have a cooperative relationship. When they learned that Daniel was visiting China, they also considered whether to seek cooperation with him.

The reason why Daniel went straight to the top level, but never thought of cooperating with private companies, is one of the reasons why these companies are vigilant. Otherwise, the current policies and laws in China do not actually limit foreign investment to state-owned enterprises or to cooperate with private enterprises. In terms of mastering the initiative, it is more suitable to cooperate with private enterprises, but dd Pictures intends to be a "shun people" in China, so it only needs to have professional authority in the joint venture company, and Daniel feels that he accepts everything else. within the range.

On June 17, the 9th Shanghai International Film Festival officially opened.

Hundreds of media from Europe, North America, Asian countries and China have brought this "international" film festival to life. (To be continued..).
