rising director

"After drinking the porridge, go and solve it."

"Waiting for the final banquet tonight."

After a while.After the Laba porridge was finished, the crew was busy filming.

"God Ake!"

……

"Crap, perfect, this one is over! I announce that "Infernal Affairs" is finished!"

"Ow!"

"Ow!"

"It's finished!"

"Everyone, don't be messy, pack up, and go to the restaurant at night with ease."

"What about lunch, who is the treat?"

"Don't even think about it, just continue to eat the box lunch of the crew."

The afternoon after wrapping up.The staff still had box lunches, but the director Wan Xiaohu called Mak Siu-fai, Zhuang Qiang and others to eat at the restaurant together.Although the shooting of "Infernal Affairs" is over, in Wan Xiaohu's plan, there are follow-up productions such as "Infernal Affairs 2" and "Infernal Affairs 3: Ultimate Infernal Affairs".

Although Wan Xiaohu may not continue to direct, but he plans to make these sequels.

"Old Mai, Lao Zhuang, Xiao Qing. Let's go together." Picking up the wine glass, he turned to the topic in a short while, "It is indeed a bit early to mention the sequel now, but I have to plan ahead. My expectations for this movie It is very big. I believe you have the same expectations as I do. Therefore, the filming is over, and our work is not yet finished. Lao Mai, Lao Zhuang, you two continue to tinker with the script of the sequel. If there is a sequel, I will I hope to invite you, Lao Mai, to direct."

Wan Xiaohu has already bought all the copyrights of "Infernal Affairs", and if he makes a sequel, the copyrights will also be in his hands.Speaking of it, Wan Xiaohu definitely got a big deal, and he will be jealous of making money in the future, so now he has to give Mai Zhaohui and others a little sweetness.Moreover, Mak Siu-fai and Zhuang Qiang are both very talented people, and they will be able to create more good movies together in the future.

"Eavesdropping on the Wind and Cloud" and "The Wind Listener" are all movies that Wan Xiaohu covets, and if he wins over these two, it is tantamount to bringing these good movies under his command.

"Thank you Director Wan for looking up to me. I will work with Qiang on the sequel script. If "Infernal Affairs" does well at the box office, I am willing to direct the sequel." Mak Siu-fai did not hesitate. He is currently in a downturn in his career, just when he needs an opportunity.

"In fact, not only Lao Mai, I think Lao Zhuang is also very talented in directing. The two of you have a good relationship and have collaborated on many scripts. You can also try to learn from Lao Mai in the future. If you want, I will The Dandelion Film Company, can we cooperate with you, you have a good script, I will invest, and you will shoot it yourself, isn’t it great.”

Mai Zhaohui nodded: "I am very willing to cooperate with Dandelion, but I am afraid that I will deceive you."

"What's wrong with you? I've noticed your talent, including Xiaoqing. Since I'm willing to cooperate with you, I trust you. If you agree, I can sign a few director contracts another day."

"Okay, let's go back and think about it."

After dinner, I went back to the crew to sort out the copies. In the evening, I invited several leading actors who had already finished filming and went home to have a wrap-up banquet at the restaurant.Wan Xiaohu airlifted the copy to his director's studio in Beijing, planning to use the time before the year to edit the film and submit it for review after the new year.

Within a few days, Mak Siu-fai signed a director contract with Dandelion, and together with Zhuang Qiang began to tinker with the script for the sequel to "Infernal Affairs".

After Wan Xiaohu returned to the capital, he was obsessed with editing work.

Until January 1th, I began to participate in the National Film Industry Workers Conference.

Basically all domestic directors, producers, distributors, and film company owners were invited to attend this meeting, and many film workers from Hong Kong and Taiwan were also invited.

After a week of intense discussions and repeated arguments.

The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued the "Implementation Rules for the Reform of the Film Distribution and Projection Mechanism", which stipulates the following requirements for the establishment of cinema chains:

10. More than 8 professional movie theaters with capital or film supply as the link, no less than 800 theaters that implement computer ticket sales, or the annual box office is not less than [-] million, and the special funds for movies are truthfully handed in, and they can initiate the establishment of a provincial theater chain , to be examined and approved by the provincial film administrative department, and reported to the Film Bureau of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for the record.

15. More than 10 professional movie theaters with capital or film supply as the link and theaters distributed in different provincial regions, with no less than 1000 computer-based ticket sales or an annual box office of no less than [-] million and the special funds for movies have been handed in truthfully, can initiate the establishment A cross-provincial theater chain shall be submitted to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for approval after consultation with the cross-regional provincial film administrative department.And copy the approval document to the relevant provincial film administrative department.

3. There shall be no more than three cinema chains in a province.For theater chains combined in the form of contracts, the contract period shall not be less than 3 years (including [-] years).A theater can only join one theater chain.After the contract expires, you can choose again.

The introduction of the "Detailed Rules" shows that since the reform of the film business in 94, the Chinese film market has grown.Finally, another big step has been taken, and it has really started to integrate with the market, and the planned market system has been completely abolished.

For all film workers, this is not only a major turning point, but also an opportunity for prosperity.

In the future, the film will no longer worry about how to sell and distribute, but what kind of scale and how much film can be obtained in theatrical film arrangement.

However, to Wan Xiaohu's regret, this was a capital feast.He and Dandelion are not qualified to share food for the time being, and cannot participate in the formation of theaters.

The first batch of theaters will be established in the summer.

"The era of film scheduling has arrived, and the future will be even better!"

Rubbing his aching temples, Wan Xiaohu pressed the pause button of the projector, then stood up, walked to the French window, and looked at the busy Sitong overpass, full of pride.fills the chest.

A month ago, Europe adopted the euro as its unified currency.

And "The Butterfly Effect" also returned from its European release two days ago. It is difficult for mmetime.com to understand the box office of many small countries in Europe and other regions. We can only make a rough estimate. It is around 1200 million US dollars, and the global total box office is 4500 million US dollars. It has become the most successful commercial film in the mainland.

But in addition to North America is divided into.Copyrights are sold directly in Europe and other places, and they have to share the accounts with Huayi Brothers. The actual income is not very large.

Video products such as DVDs are also now on sale.

In general, "Butterfly Effect" can bring about 2000 million yuan in revenue to Dandelion.Counting the "My Sassy Girl", "Crazy Stone", and "Super Girl" produced this year, Dandelion's current book revenue has exceeded [-] million.It can be said to be the most profitable film and television company this year.

Dangdang, they were ringing.

"Come in."

"Mr. Wan, Mr. Su invites you to host the year-end summary meeting." Su Ya's secretary came in and said that this was a woman in her 30s, an elite returnee.As the company got bigger and bigger, Su Ya couldn't take care of everything by herself, so she hired a group of elites to help manage the company.

"I see."

Wan Xiaohu shook his suit, tightened his tie, and followed the secretary to the meeting room.

……

"This year, Dandelion has achieved a breakthrough profit, and next year, we will create greater glories! I will work together with you, and tomorrow is just around the corner, and a better day is just around the corner!"

Looking at Wan Xiaohu who is in high spirits in the conference room, all employees of the company can feel the majestic confidence and extraordinary charm of the boss.

Crash, the applause was extremely loud.

Su Ya also clapped her hands and looked at Wan Xiaohu with a faint smile on her lips.

When I saw Wan Xiaohu for the first time two years ago, Wan Xiaohu was still a rustic young man in casual attire with his shirt off.Two years passed in a flash, and the childish young man disappeared without a trace, replaced by a young, promising, confident and successful person, a famous director.

The hair is often combed meticulously, and pomade is maintained. The suit is normal work clothes, and the tie is not always so docile, but there is always an infectious aura, or charm, in every gesture.

He is not considered handsome, nor is he tall, but in a crowd, you can recognize him at a glance.

Su Ya lived in an elite family and met many young and extraordinary people.

But those people did not rely on their backgrounds and took shortcuts to achieve success, so they were more conceited and lofty.Wan Xiaohu is different, he is high-spirited, but not domineering, sometimes you feel that he is standing far away and cannot be touched, and sometimes the nearest one is right in front of you, which will make you bored and angry.

"What an annoying person." Su Ya's eyes completed two crescent moons.
