After entering the new year, the United States has also begun various film and television awards months. Due to the impact of the financial crisis, the grand prize presentation show seems to have become much shabby, and even the sponsors of the Golden Globe Awards have been reduced by half...

What makes movie fans even more intrigued is that in 2008, Li Xiaole was absent from the film industry, and Hollywood seemed to have lost its previous prosperity. There were no decent films that were both well-known and popular throughout the year. Only one cartoon "Robot Wall Li" barely scored high.

On February 22, on Los Angeles Avenue, the Chinese Theater still held its annual film event. The 81st Oscars opened here. The rather wonderful ceremony ended after a few tense hours. In the end, the art film "Reading Life and Death" won five awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, and became the biggest winner of this Oscar...

However, movie fans seem to have no attention to this Oscar. Their enthusiasm seems to have been drained by last year's movie New Year, which makes the organizers helpless. Compared with the excellent films of "The Young Pi", "The Dark Knight", "Rejuvenation", "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Bloody" last year, the participating movies can only be described as shabby.

Moreover, because of the economic crisis across the United States, the scale of this award ceremony was much smaller than last year, and the ratings were reduced by nearly 23.5%, becoming the worst session in recent years. When Li Xiaole, the devil in Hollywood, was disrupting the situation in Hollywood, everyone in the Hollywood industry hated him. When he was really not here, everyone began to miss him again...

When will this big director who has just entered the marriage hall return with his movie? You should know that there are many global blockbusters that have been confirmed to be released in this summer, including the first part of the finale of Michael Bay's "Transformers 2" and "Harry Potter", and the comic adaptation of "Special Forces"...

Of course... everyone thinks that the King of the summer season will be the movie "Avengers" that brings the Black Pearl Company to a superhero collection. This is very interesting. If Li Xiaole will definitely shoot the movie after filming a drama, his new work will likely join the Hollywood summer season war for the first time. At that time, the opponents he will face in addition to the six majors, also have the top strong films of his own company. Will this Jesuit Lee suffer the first defeat in his directorial career? This is the topic that everyone is most interested in.

Just when the movie fans were discussing when Li Xiaole would come back, Li Xiaole, who had been in the honeymoon period since getting married, finally appeared in people's sight after disappearing for a month~

On February 28, 2009, the National People's Political Consultative Conference was about to be held. As a representative of the new CPPCC cultural group, Li Xiaole's figure naturally appeared in the Great Hall of the People, which made the global media move.

Due to the explosive development of the Chinese film market in recent years, many Chinese filmmakers have also appeared in this National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. The emergence of big names such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Li Xiaole, Cheng Long, and Zhang Guoli has also triggered the siege of reporters. During the CPPCC meeting, the reporters wanted to interview them in various ways, and they all wanted to know what proposals the cultural group would put forward this time.

Then he caught Zhang Yimou in the parking lot and asked, "What kind of proposal did Director Zhang prepare this time?" Zhang Yimou just waved his hand and said that he could not say it.

Like Zhang Yimou, most of the CPPCC members remained silent, saying that they were just here to "study" and did not prepare specific proposals. To a greater extent, the CPPCC members of the cultural group only played a propaganda role, and the proposals were prepared by a functional department. They proposed that the stars were just spokespersons. They did not have the ability and could not influence the direction of the cultural industry.

At this time, the disappointed media put their hopes on Li Xiaole. This young director who has always been a high-profile young director can never be as inaction as others. Since he can attend the CPPCC meeting, he will naturally have his own purpose.

In the face of the outside world's sensation, the discussions before the National Political Consultative Conference were also in full swing. The discussions of the Cultural Group had officially begun. The leaders of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, the Ministry of Culture and Film Bureau presided over the meeting, and Han Sanpin brought Li Xiaole and other CPPCC members from the literary and artistic circles to take the seat.

With a simple ceremony, the discussion meeting officially began. After more than an hour of speeches from leaders, the meeting was considered to be the main topic. This time, the integration was mainly to discuss the topics that the cultural group had to raise at the CPPCC meeting. Each participant present had a button in front of it, and he could speak freely. After Xu Wenzhao, the Minister of Culture of the Ministry of Culture who supported the meeting, read out a series of rules, everyone started various discussions.

People in the film and television industry basically discuss topics and are old topics. Brother Chen Kai and Feng Xiaogang spoke separately, and they are still replaying the old tunes such as preventing and controlling piracy and developing derivative products of the film and television industry. There are no strategic proposals. Moreover, although there are many people speaking, everyone is accustomed to pushing the burden to the government departments, hoping that the government will invest in cracking down on piracy and developing the film and television industry, but they are not willing to do anything and have few specific opinions on implementation. They can only talk big.

This made the leaders of the Ministry of Culture who were in charge of the discussion look disappointed. These cultural people are always like this. Although they have ambitions, they have no practical experience. The proposals proposed are always meaningless. It seems that the cultural group cannot discuss anything again...

At this time, when the discussion was in a deadlock, it was finally Li Xiaole's turn to stand up. He also proposed a proposal that everyone had expected long ago: "3D movies will be the future trend. Our domestic theaters should start to spend a lot of effort to build more 3D screens from now on, so as to gain an advantage in the future 3D wave..."

This proposal makes sense, but in fact it is very risky. At the meeting, Xu Wenzhao, Minister of Culture of the Ministry of Culture, asked Li Xiaole:

"We all know that 3D is the future trend, but this year, next year, or five years later? This is not accurate. Before American theaters have undergone major standardized updates, if our Ministry of Culture issues a mobilization policy to vigorously build a 3D screen, will it be suspected of writing some blind action...?"

This question is obviously something that everyone is concerned about. Hollywood is the leader of this industry. How could China Film Industry first move with the industry leaders? As long as we need to update the current screen, it is a huge amount of money. If 2D movies can make money, why should we change it to 3D screen? In fact, if Hollywood, the movie kingdom of film, does not produce so many good 3D movies and has no plan to reform theaters, then Chinese theaters do not need to follow this trend.

Wang Huaian, deputy director of the Film Bureau, also spoke and reminded Li Xiaole: "Director Li, indeed, we all know that your 3D TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is very successful and has successfully opened up the North American market. This is an industrial contribution, but movies are different from TV. This is not one or several companies. This is the planning of the entire industry. Whether 3D movies can truly surpass 2D movies will really take time to test, after all, there are still many flaws in new technologies."

Everyone knows that Li Xiaole is about to shoot a 3D movie, and it is understandable that the theater paves the way for him, but are you too anxious to get closer?

"In fact," Li Xiaole interrupted Xu Wenzhao and said: "This year will be the year for the reform of American theaters."

"What does it mean?" Xu Wenzhao frowned unhappily and said, "Director Li, I know that your Black Pearl Cinema Alliance is very influential, but you only have less than 10,000 screens, accounting for only one-fourth of the market in North America. There are many old theater companies with rigid funds. I doubt how you are sure that American theaters will have a major change." Li Xiaole said this. Black Pearl is the top three film and television group in North America, but it is not enough to affect the American theater industry, right?

"It's very simple." Li Xiaole answered very simply: "Because we, Black Pearl Group, will soon acquire the second American theater AMC theater." As he said that, Li Xiaole asked the secretary to take out the materials and handed them over to several leaders who presided over the meeting: "Here, I hope that all leaders can support us to pass the approval of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce of China and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, which is also my proposal at the CPPCC meeting this time."

As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned and then opened their mouths slightly. What does it mean? Black Pearl Company is going to acquire the American AMC theater chain? Black Pearl Company is going to build its own theater chain in the United States!?

In this era, it is still an era when American companies acquire small and medium-sized enterprises in China. Everyone is accustomed to American business giants invading China. They never thought that Chinese companies would dare to acquire American companies... What's more, the second largest theater chain in the United States. You should know that AMC is the second in the United States, but has nearly 6,000 screens, which is almost the same as the largest Emperor Entertainment Cinema Group...
