my time as a director

......

"The sky is big, and the earth is big, but it's not as big as a country. What kind of bullshit capital, in front of physique, is just a matter of one sentence."

At the celebration banquet where "The Wandering Earth" broke 40 billion, Li Qian was filled with emotion.

"Director Li still has a lot of face. He talked to his superiors and brought the ticket purchase platform into the distribution and screening system. Now the platform will be subject to more supervision."

Xu Zheng, who took time off from the crew of "囧Mom" to attend the celebration banquet, was also amazed by Li Qian's energy. He checked theaters all over the country, and even activated the ticketing platform.

Ning Hao became a little sensitive, "It's not like there are some characters, why would the higher-ups meddle in this kind of nosy matter, things that don't involve ideology, generally won't take action."

"That was in the past." Li Qian shook his head rather mysteriously.

"Because of the reorganization of Optoelectronics, the Film Bureau was assigned to the Publicity Department." Guo Fan, the protagonist of the celebration banquet, said.

Xu Zheng was a little puzzled, and turned to Guo Fan, "What does this have to do with it?"

Guo Fan explained, "Previously the General Administration's publicity business was under the Publicity Department, but in fact it was directly under the cabinet, and it was the entertainment industry. Now that the General Administration of Press and Publication and the Film Bureau are officially assigned to the Publication Department, movies are no longer It’s just the entertainment industry, which has become part of the propaganda medium.”

"So?" Xu Zheng was bewildered. Last year, Optoelectronics reorganized the Film Bureau and no longer belonged to Optoelectronics, but it didn't have much impact on the industry at all, as if it didn't matter whether it changed or not.

"Brother Zheng should care about politics."

Li Qian smiled, "The importance of the entertainment industry and the promotional media are completely different, which shows that the leaders are paying more and more attention to the film industry, not only the entertainment industry, but also related to ideology. Are there more and more theme movies?"

"That's true." Xu Zheng nodded, because of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 70th anniversary of the War of Resisting Rice and Aid Korea, he made three main theme movies at once.

This was all before the reorganization of Optoelectronics, but after the reorganization last year, several main theme movies such as "Captain Huaguo", "The Climber", and "Heroes of Fire" were still commercial blockbusters, which were different from the previous theme movies.

All are adaptations of real events, and all are led by the Ministry of Publicity and the Film Bureau. Obviously, the above has regarded movies as a kind of propaganda medium, whether it is internal or external, and is no longer a pure entertainment industry.

After figuring this out, Xu Zheng was a little worried again, "But if this is the case, will the censorship be more stringent in the future?"

"I don't know, but we don't shoot those sensitive things. Brother Zheng, if you can also touch thunder when you make comedy films, that would be awesome." Li Qian laughed.

"That's true. I only shoot comedies. It has nothing to do with me, but because of this, the higher ups will help you?" Xu Zheng asked again.

"Chen Wu deserves it. He's so desperate to use patriotism as an issue, otherwise I wouldn't be able to convince Director Wang." Li Qian shook his head.

Chen Wu's black method is to provoke a three-way war of abuse among the sailors, movie fans, and passers-by audience, and elevate "The Wandering Earth" to a patriotic level.

Now there are all kinds of cross-talks on the Internet, if you don't praise "The Wandering Earth", you are not patriotic, and you are just pennies.

Originally, the content of the movie had nothing to do with patriotism. What I loved was the earth, just because it was the first domestic sci-fi.

Doing so would naturally make people resentful.

Most Chinese people are very patriotic, but they are very disgusted with coercion. Everything has something to do with patriotism, and there are people who use this name to make trouble.

This is indeed the most powerful blow to "The Wandering Earth", but it is precisely this way that Li Qian talked about moving the film bureau.

After all, involving this aspect is purely malicious hype.

Coupled with the first domestic sci-fi, and the whole movie is engraved with domestic branding everywhere, it is not a Hollywood model and idea, and to a certain extent, this is also an ideology.

As for the attack on the platform, it has been documented to include the platform in the supervision of distribution and screening. It was also Li Qian who disclosed Chen Wu's second plan to the Film Bureau.

Chen Wu wants to replace movie theaters with video websites as a new terminal, which is too arrogant.

It's not just a problem of the film industry, it's the rise and fall of a physical industry, and along with the survival of movie theaters, there are also physical shopping malls.

How many shopping malls actually rely on movie theaters to bring in the flow of people, and when movie theaters are replaced by video sites, those half-dead shopping malls will completely close down, and the impact on the real economy is not small.

The Film Bureau and the Distribution and Projection Association have notified the major platforms, but the specific regulatory mechanism and system will take time.

But at this time, it is estimated that Chen Wu will not commit crimes against the wind.

After all, although it was bought with real money, the Film Bureau had issued documents.

However, soon, Li Qian knew the result, the pre-sale on Penguin was still going on, but in a different way.

It's not self-purchase, but a large number of tickets from the entire network.

In this way, in this era of online real-name system, every ticket has a place to go.

But sending tickets is not so easy, especially now that the audience's expectations are not high, and they have to promote it instead.

Penguin began to invest a lot of publicity resources, and gave the tickets purchased by itself to netizens.

Coupled with the doubts faced by "Magic City Fortress" itself, the male protagonist's hairstyle has not been washed, and the critics can't control it at all.

Penguin's manpower began to be exhausted, and he took the initiative to withdraw the water army of "The Wandering Earth".

These sailors have all come to build momentum for "Mad City Fortress", and those film critics and self-media are also busy praising "Mad City Fortress" in different ways, and have no time to continue to criticize "The Wandering Earth".

Although there were still some spectators who were led astray and the road turned dark, but without the hordes of navy troops, Li Qian also began to send people to "wash the ground".

Although a crisis against "The Wandering Earth" has not disappeared, but with the box office exceeding 40 billion, there is no organized navy.

There is also the upcoming "Magic City Fortress" as a comparison, which is basically solved.

Now, it should be Chen Wu who should be struggling.

I have to spend time and money to send out the tickets I bought with my own money, not to mention how aggrieved.

Moreover, the word-of-mouth of "Magic City Fortress" has taken a turn for the worse, and the movie has not been released yet, which is already questioned by the entire Internet.

"These people are so full, why do they care about their hair!"

Just a small haircut, making word of mouth like this, Chen Wu is also a dog.

"It's such a simple thing, find some still photos of foreign military films with long hair, make an illustration of the male protagonist with long hair, and ask Jiang Nan to post on Weibo."

Soldiers in foreign movies can keep their hair long, but domestic movies can’t?

The original author has spoken, you know better than the author?

"Okay Director Chen, I'll arrange it right away, and the actor's team wants some tickets for fans to promote."

"Let them buy it themselves!"

Speaking of this, Chen Wu couldn't help but get angry, 6000 million fans are useless.

I can't control the critics, and I'm not willing to spend money for idols. I can't support the box office at all, and I still come to ask for tickets now.

But scolding is all right, tickets still have to be given, and those fans are still needed to promote the movie.

I just hope that these 6000 million fans can give some support after the movie is released, and don't let him down again.
