Entertainment Empire System

There are three directors in charge of reviewing films at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television this time, a deputy director named Fang and a deputy director named Wang. These two represent the leadership of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. As for why they are all deputy directors, how can a director have time to spend all day in movies?

Although we only see about 20 movies every year, including imported movies, in fact, the number of movies shot nationwide every year is conservatively estimated to be around 200 to 300 movies. This is still around 2,000 years old, basically. Of the approximately two to three hundred films on the Internet, more than a hundred will be sent to the General Administration for review and approval.

The number of feature films approved by the Radio, Film and Television Bureau in 2000 is 82, which means that about a dozen films are reviewed every month.

Eighty-two films were selected that are allowed to be screened. Of course, the only ones that can be screened are about 20.

Anyway, reviewing a movie is the same as watching a movie. You have to be very careful, like sitting in a movie theater and watching a movie. This is possible. Sometimes every detail must be taken into consideration.

If something goes wrong, the person who reviewed it is responsible.

Therefore, reviewing movies may not actually be a good job. Naturally, it is the deputy director who does this.

Another person is Han Shanping. As the boss of China Film Group, Han Shanping naturally has the right to speak. He is here to represent China Film Group.

Before Han Shanping came, at this time, Director Fang said with an unfinished expression: "Director Chen is still interesting, and we had a lot of fun yesterday. To say that the grudge between Director Chen and Ye Ming is indeed somewhat complicated. Dramatization, you are talking about an international director, what can you do if you can't get along with a young actor?"

Director Wang said very seriously: "Ye Ming is not a small actor now. However, last time a small-cost comedy like [Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin], which had never been invested in Chinese movies, was made by Ye Ming's small-cost comedy [ Crazy Stone] was killed. Everyone is a little angry about this. It is normal for two people to have conflicts. I just didn’t expect that Ye Ming, this kid, became famous very quickly. Now he has reached the level of Emperor Superstar. His status has been reached, and there are very few actors in China who can suppress him."

This is true. If it is said that there are still a few actors who can suppress Ye Ming based on their acting skills, but if it is said based on their overall strength, then the actor who can suppress Ye Ming in this situation is really Very few.

There is no such thing among the younger generation anyway. It took Ye Ming more than two years to go through a road that others may not go through in their lifetime.

Director Fang said with emotion: "Who said it was right? I was involved in the review of Crazy Stone. I thought it was funny when I saw it, but I didn't expect the box office to be that high. This time Director Chen and Ye Ming went on to Yes, Director Chen was cruel this time. He invited a big-name star to make a comeback. He also tried to find connections to kill Ye Ming's film, but he was allowed to pass. I think this time he He is determined to suppress Ye Ming. Some departments are easy to handle. "

This department is easy to handle, which makes Director Wang very helpless. He nodded and said: "That's right. Director Chen entertained the wrong department yesterday. We can make things difficult for the Infernal Affairs movie, but you say, if it's really Is it possible to ban Infernal Affairs?"

There is nothing wrong with killing Ye Ming's movies, but Ye Ming is also a fuel-efficient lamp. Generally, directors will ban it if they ban it. They can throw the film into the warehouse for any reason, but if it is said that Ye Ming's , they are really in trouble.

Director Fang shook his head and said: "I think this department is easy. Han Shanping has always been very supportive of Ye Ming. If he wants to ban Ye Ming's movies at this level, there is no sufficient reason." No matter what is possible, I will offend Han Shanping just for the little friendship I have with Director Chen."

Han Shanping also has a very wide network of contacts in the circle, so it would be difficult for the two of them to offend Han Shanping.

Director Wang subconsciously thought of something, nodded and said: "That's true, let's see, Han Shanping will be here soon, let's see what he says then, anyway, we will just go with the flow. Even if it is The ministry prohibits Infernal Affairs, what dare Brother Chen Kai do to us?"

This is the confidence of the two directors, and the international director is also talking about it for nothing. Not long after, Han Shanping walked over firmly and said, "Director Fang, Director Wang, I'm sorry, the leader just gave me some instructions, so I came a little late."

Director Fang said with a smile: "Looking at what Mr. Han said, there is no time to review a film. Let's discuss it while watching the film, right?"

The first thing to review is Brother Chen Kai's "The Promise". Usually at this time, I read one side first, and then the three of them look at it and combine the opinions of the experts to unify their understanding.

Of course, only these three people in the department review the film. There are still some experts who pay special attention to some details. However, these experts who seem to be very popular outside have no role in the unit except to provide reference for the leaders. The real decision-makers are Director Fang, Director Wang and Han Shanping.

Those experts are just looking to see if there are any details that will have a good impact on the department. After watching The Promise, Director Fang and Director Wang felt their scalps go numb for a while. This thing is also called a movie, and it is also called a big production. It was shot with such a pile of rubbish with an investment of tens of millions.

At this time, Director Fang and Director Wang both had angry looks on their faces. Brother Chen Kai is deliberately trying to trick people at this time, right?

Director Fang rubbed his head, which felt a little big. He slowly expressed his opinion and said, "This movie is quite lively."

The reason why I use the three words "very lively" is that under such a situation, the director of the film, Fang, really couldn't find the right words to express his feelings. But due to human feelings, Director Fang couldn't say anything.

Director Wang took over and said: "This, at least, is a very harmonious movie. I watched this magical movie. It is a bit Western, but it is still an entertainment movie. There is no problem in preliminary approval. Mr. Han what do you say?"

A good movie for entertainment. If this kind of evaluation is for ordinary film directors, it is already a pretty good evaluation. It is impossible for ordinary movies to get this evaluation.

But you must know that Chen Kaige is not an ordinary film director. He is the only two people in China who can be called international directors. His movies are only described as entertainment and entertainment, which is indeed a bit thin. .

Han Shanping pondered for a while and said: "In general, there are indeed no violations. I think we can let the people below pay attention to the details first. If there is nothing special that needs attention, it can be passed."

Next, what the three of them want to watch at this time is Ye Ming's "Infernal Affairs".

At this time, Han Shanping said before watching the movie: "This is a very exciting movie. I have seen some clips. It is a pretty good movie."

At this time, the hearts of Director Wang and Director Fang suddenly sank. It seemed that Han Shanping really wanted to fight Ye Ming to the end. It seemed that if he wanted to ban the release of "Infernal Affairs", that would not be the case. What an easy thing.

Director Fang and Director Wang looked at each other, and soon a hint of surprise flashed through each other's eyes.

What kind of ecstasy soup did Ye Ming pour into Han Shanping to make Old Han support Ye Ming so much? This is science. It's not scientific, but you still have to watch the movie that needs to be watched. Therefore, at this time, the three of them tacitly watched each other with their own thoughts.

[Infernal Affairs] After watching it, Director Fang was secretly happy at this time. Infernal Affairs, this movie is interesting just from the name. When watching the movie, Director Fang actually couldn’t admit that it was indeed the most popular movie in recent years. A rare quality movie.

In their observation of momentum, having one masterpiece out of a hundred movies is considered good, but "Infernal Affairs" is actually quite good among the masterpieces, and can be said to be a masterpiece classic.

However, regarding the overall content of "Infernal Affairs", Director Fang thought about it and said, "To be honest, this movie has a somewhat correct attitude."

This crime is a very big one. The attitude is correct. That is to say, the theme and central idea are not clear. In other words, the position is not firm. In Chinese movies, good is good and bad is bad. There is no in-between. Attitude. And for example, Jiang Wen's "The Japs Are Coming" not long ago had a decent attitude, and being banned did not offend Jiang Wen at all.

As for Ye Ming's Infernal Affairs, it actually seems to have a somewhat upright attitude.

Director Fang didn't mean to say anything excessive about this. Director Wang thought for a while and then said: "Even if you want to revise this and pass it, it's not easy."

Both directors gave their own opinions and believed that this movie had a somewhat correct attitude.

What happens next depends on Han Shanping, whether he will support Ye Ming or take advantage of the situation and directly destroy Ye Ming's movie.

In fact, this is no wonder Director Fang and Director Wang. In fact, under such a situation, Ye Ming's "Infernal Affairs" does have some improper attitudes. At the end of the story, the police were killed, and a The undercover gangster became the big winner.

Originally they thought that it would be difficult to deal with Infernal Affairs, but now looking at the actual situation, it is actually that simple. If you have a correct attitude, I have the right to let you pass.

Even Han Shanping seemed to be unable to tell what was the big deal. (To be continued)
