Chapter 423: Fire, fire again!(1/2)
Not long after, the symposium officially began.
The two elders walked into the venue surrounded by a group of people, and thousands of people in the audience gave warm applause.
Fang Ziheng stood up and applauded, and secretly looked at the two elders, as well as the management of various departments.
The deputy and Kang Di are at the end, and depending on the situation, they can also get on the rostrum.
Seeing this, Fang Ziheng subconsciously looked at the three directors of China Film, Moying, and Huaying, wondering why they didn't go up.
Yu Dong on the side noticed his gaze and whispered: "This is an expanded symposium, which is different from the previous annual meeting."
Fang Ziheng understood and withdrew his inquiring gaze.
China Film Group is also a business company. Although Director Han's position is no lower than that of the deputy leader and Kang Wei, he could only sit in the audience at today's meeting.
Um
Perhaps there is another possibility: this is a precursor for the higher authorities to take back the direct control rights of movies!
After the applause, the venue fell silent and you could hear a pin drop.
On the rostrum, the two elders sat in the center, directly opposite Fang Ziheng and the others.
In the gaps on both sides, two photography teams came to record today's meeting.
The time came to 9:30, and the meeting kicked off.
The elder spoke first, emphasizing that the superiors attach great importance to culture and film work.
Inherit culture, promote culture, support films, and further demonstrate China’s unique career path through film and television.
After ten years of rapid development, our country's film industry has entered the next stage. How to maintain current achievements and further export cultural characteristics is the top priority for future work.
Subsequently, the Da Laoxuan Film Industry Promotion Law was passed and came into effect on April 1.
The applause rang out again, especially warmly.
The establishment of the Film Promotion Law means that the film field has reached another level. There are rules to follow, and some bad films and films with incorrect views can no longer be shown in theaters openly.
Film copyrights have been strengthened, and film splitting has been included in this law.
To put it bluntly, it means that the emphasis on film development has been put into practical actions, especially the review and copyright protection have been strengthened, and the account sharing system has been clarified.
This split uniform is the prototype that Hengyu, Huayi, Guangxian, and Bona negotiated with theaters across the country.
Based on the box office of 400 million, after deducting 3% of the special film fund and taxes, under the box office of 400 million, theaters account for 57% and producers 43%.
The box office reached 400 million, with theaters accounting for 55% and producers accounting for 45%.
The box office reached 600 million, with theaters accounting for 53% and producers accounting for 47%.
The box office reached 800 million, with theaters accounting for 52% and producers accounting for 48%.
If the total box office in the mainland exceeds 1 billion, a 55-50 split will be implemented, with theaters and producers each accounting for half.
As soon as this system came out, the applause from the venue became even more enthusiastic, and all the filmmakers were overjoyed.
Fang Ziheng, Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian and others all had their hands turned red, and they all smiled so brightly that they almost made pig noises.
Then, the head of the Propaganda Department made a speech, affirming the important progress my country has made in the construction of cultural and legal systems in recent years, and affirming the prosperity and development of the film industry.
The head of the Propaganda Department emphasized that we must implement the Film Industry Promotion Law, fully implement the new system in every corner of the film field, vigorously promote the second stage of film development, and embark on the right path of cultural revitalization.
As time passed, the symposium entered a new round of speeches.
Different from the internal annual meeting, no one dared to make a thorn in the side. In previous years, the tense atmosphere, with shouting matches and shouting at each other, is worthy of its existence.
Everyone in the audience was sitting upright with serious expressions. Sometimes they lowered their heads to write and draw, sometimes they raised their heads as if they had some realization.
The three directors of China Film, Moying and Huaying made speeches one after another.
Then it was the turn of seniors from major associations, people's arts, Chinese dramas, major colleges and universities, and representatives from the three fields of directors, producers, and producers.
Finally, it was the turn of the CEOs of major film and television companies to speak!
"Over the years of reform and opening up, our country's economic development has achieved remarkable results that have attracted worldwide attention. Chinese films, which have gone through ups and downs, have also grown vigorously and become one of the banners of the cultural industry. Amidst this great change that has not been seen in three thousand years, the film industry has seen opportunities.
Unprecedented, connect with the world, go abroad, and break cultural shackles
The introduction of the legal system not only regulates the film industry, but also allows all colleagues in the film industry to unite their efforts, allowing the film industry to develop rapidly while also better keeping the film ship on track."
Under the stage, Fang Ziheng stood straight, holding a report in his hand, and spoke calmly.
Don't sing high-pitched words, don't sing empty words, just proceed according to the current situation.
Today's meeting, except for the introduction of the Film Promotion Law, the rest is just incidental.
Even if his brain is flawed, he will not put forward any new opinions or views on an occasion like today!
Don't want to die?
After two hours, the symposium ended.
The two elders stood up and left, waving without a trace of cloud.
Subsequently, the management of various departments, seniors from major associations, and major universities also left.
Finally, it was the turn of the film industry colleagues and representatives from all walks of life present in the back row to leave.
………
The huge venue suddenly became empty.
Thirteen people including Fang Ziheng, Han Dong, Ren Zhong, Fu Ruoqing, Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Song Ge, Fan Luyuan, Fu Meicheng, Jia Yueting, Gong Yu and Chen Wu stayed on.
Thirteen people represent thirteen relatively powerful film companies in the industry.
The development of the industry and the rise of the Internet have not shortened the gap in front-line production capabilities between many companies and a few giants, but they have actually given other companies many opportunities in the field of film distribution.
The thirteen people looked at each other and greeted Kang Xi and Zhang Hongsen in front of them, waving their hands and arriving on the second floor of the auditorium.
On the second floor, in a small conference room.
As soon as they entered the door, before everyone could sit down, Zhang Hongsen, who was walking in front with Director Han and Kang Di, turned around and bowed his hands to everyone.
"Dear film bosses, I have just been transferred from the Film Bureau to China Film Co., Ltd. I hope you will support me in my future work!"
"Congratulations to Director Zhang for getting things right, congratulations!"
"No, it's time to call me Director Zhang. In the future, with the leadership of you and Director Han, China Film will definitely reach a higher level!"
"Dr. Zhang is so polite. From now on, everyone will eat from the same pot and should help each other."
"With Director Zhang joining us, Chinese-language films will surely have a brighter future!"
“Come, let’s all applaud ourselves together for Chinese-language movies!”
Good guys, every one of them here is a fox on the mountain. They answer calls just like they take jobs, setting the place on fire in minutes.
Everyone knew about Zhang Hongsen's transfer at the beginning of the month.
In the previous life, before Director Han left office, Kang Di took over China Film and first served as the chairman of China Film Co., Ltd., and after the departure of Director Han, he served as the chairman of China Film Group.
As soon as he left, deputy director Zhang Hongsen straightened him up.
In this life, things are different!
Because Chinese-language films have produced several blockbuster movies overseas, Director Han was very pleased with his superiors and allowed him to serve for one more term.
The position under his buttocks did not move, causing different changes in the positions of Zhang Hongsen and Kang Yan.
First, Kang Xian strengthened the situation, and then the higher-ups reorganized China Film Group and transferred Zhang Hongsen to assist Director Han.
Speaking of China Film, you may not know something.
China Film, in addition to China Film Group, there is also China Film Co., Ltd. which is preparing to be listed.
China Film Group controls 93% of the shares of China Film Group Corporation, which is exactly the same as Hengyu Interactive Entertainment!
What makes China Film different from Hengyu is that any position above mid-level has a formal level.
In other words, although China Film Group has a firm control over the equity of China Film Co., Ltd., because everyone has the same level, neither party can do anything about the other.
Director Han, Zhang Hongsen, and Kang Yu are all at the same level at this time, one is in charge of administration, and the other two are in charge of enterprise!
In this reorganization of China Film Group, China Film Group has retained three branches: film import and export, film and television base, and film equipment.
The remaining three companies, production, marketing, and distribution, were all spun off and injected into China Film Co., Ltd.
Its six major theater chains are operated independently and are still controlled by China Film Group.
Generally speaking, between Han Dong and Zhang Hongsen, Han Dong is the leader and Zhang Hongsen is the assistant.
China Film Corporation controls production, marketing, and distribution, and is responsible for investing, shooting, and distributing movies. It does specific work.
If we really encounter a major incident, Director Han has to be at the helm. After all, he has six major theater chains and import and export films to support it.
Just like this small meeting, Director Han sat in the middle, Kang Di was on the left, and Zhang Hongsen was sitting on the right.
The meeting was chaired by Zhang Hongsen, who controls the distribution and release rights.
"Dear bosses, the summer vacation is coming soon. The purpose of inviting everyone to come together today is mainly to discuss the future important film schedules and avoid conflicts with the first films, which will hurt both parties."
"Everyone needs to take a breather before the movie is released. There should be a sequence and the release dates should be spaced apart."
