To save the music festival, winning the championship is not too much.

Directorate of Film.

Chief's Office.

Zhai Yongxiang was sitting on his desk, listening to Ma Pingli talking about some of the current things in the film industry.

But actually, they all mean the same thing.

Domestic films need some work that can be marketed.

Although large-scale entertainment promotion is urgent, it cannot keep introducing foreign works, thus suppressing the sales of domestic movies.

So the plan from the beginning included the term Domestic Film Protection Month.

And even if foreign blockbusters are introduced, there still need to be quantitative restrictions.

Prior to this, the introduction of foreign films was either approved by China Film or imported separately. Occasionally, one film would not affect domestic films.

But if an agreement is signed with countries such as Eagle Country, it will be a fixed number of movies to be introduced each year.

Once Hollywood industrial blockbusters enter China, or top products from South Korea, Japan, or even Bollywood enter China, the living space for domestic films will be even smaller.

In fact, in the final analysis, you can’t just import, you must also export!

So, for a high-quality domestic film production, winning awards has become a top priority!

But winning the prize is easier said than done!

Although these blockbuster directors from the Mainland have all won awards, they are still facing many difficulties. Even in the more than ten years since the beginning, only Zhang Kaigang has won the Palme d'Or once in Cannes!

Too little!

The Shawshank Redemption can definitely hit Cannes.

But Ma Pingli said: "Such a wonderful book, with a core and connotative story, if it is shot by a young director, it is likely to destroy the classic, so my opinion is to hand over this book to an experienced veteran." Directors, such as Zhang Kaigang, Li Jingtian, or Wang Shuo's level."

Zhai Yongxiang is in his sixties and looks a bit senile. He is very different from Chen Zhiqi, the boss of Beiqi.

He glanced at Ma Pingli with a smile and asked, "You should keep the script that someone just wrote as your own. There is no such thing as this."

Ma Ping immediately waved his hand: "How can it be for nothing? The screenwriter is still signed by Xu Xuan. He can also be allowed to join the crew and be named an assistant director. As a young man, it is okay to study more and gain more experience."

Speaking of this, Ma Pingli suddenly had an idea and said: "Our Film Administration can also make a promise to young people. Some scripts that could not pass the review in the past can be passed as long as they do not involve issues of principle."

Zhai Yongxiang understood Ma Pingli's thoughts.

Also knew he was right.

Many subjects that cannot pass the review can actually be passed. For example, "Plum Girl" filmed by Zhang Kaigang before, it is simply considered a Category III film, but it has not been passed?

Because Zhang Kaigang's fame and status are so great, the Film Administration also has to consider many factors.

It's just that at Xu Xuan's level, it's not easy to pass some difficult subjects, so this promise is compensation.

Zhai Yongxiang knew that the following deputy directors were competing, so he smiled and said: "This matter requires not only the consent of the young people, but also the consent of Deputy Director Lou."

Ma Ping understood immediately: "Okay, I will withdraw from the forum meeting of the General Administration."

Zhai Yongxiang laughed when he heard this, stood up rather tremblingly, and said: "Then let's go and see what young people think. We can't force others."

"Yes, yes, both parties must be willing." Ma Pingli said this, but he knew in his heart that as long as Zhai Yongxiang opened his mouth, could Xu Xuan still bargain?

In fact, if it weren't for Lou Chao's existence, Ma Pingli alone could have forced Xu Xuan to agree to hand over the script.

But things can't be done this way. People who can reach Ma Pingli's status naturally have to do things without leakage.

So after the few people met again, Ma Ping immediately gave Xu Xuan a big hat: "Young people should study more and watch more, but at the same time they must also lay a solid foundation for domestic films. Domestic films need some A good story core needs some awards to solidify its status, Director Xu thinks."

Xu Xuan looked at Lou Chao, Zhai Yongxiang, Ma Pingli and Wang Shuo in the big office. How could he not understand what it meant.

So he spread his hands and asked: "I have been making movies and contributing to domestic films. What do you mean by Deputy Director Ma?"

At this time, Zhai Yongxiang said with a smile: "Xiao Xu, are you sure you will win the grand prize for this Shawshank Redemption?"

Xu Xuan's eyes widened: "Who can guarantee this? Even someone with the status of Nicholas Hoqi wouldn't dare to say that he would definitely win the award. In our mainland, if Director Zhang comes over, he can't guarantee it, right?"

Isn't this an obvious thing?

Winning an award is not just about a good story, sometimes it requires the right time, place and people.

But Xu Xuan understood.

I was young and unsure.

So if you let old comrades come in, they will have more confidence, is this what you mean?

Sure enough, Zhai Yongxiang said: "I heard that difficulties were encountered when reviewing "In the Name of the People" and "Who is Dad?" In fact, if people are contributing to national entertainment, they can give a green light. For example, Xiao Xu, do you want to shoot some movies with special themes?"

Of course Xu Xuan does!

Comfort women, massacre, and the history of blood and tears of Chinese labor!

But, what does it have to do with this matter?

Lou Chao immediately said: "Bureau Zhai, our General Administration agrees that we should give young people more opportunities, so we always let people like Xu Xuan, Lu Ruzhou, Yue Minglan, Chen Dong and others do it. This is also It’s considered as complying with the request from above.”

Xu Xuan could understand his attitude, how could Lou Chao not see it?

This is to let Xu Xuan bring out The Shawshank Redemption.

In fact, Xu Xuan already regretted it at this time.

What are you pretending to be?

Now that someone is taking notice of your own... Bah, someone else is taking notice of your own work, and you're being slapped with a thumbs down.

The other party hasn't said anything unpleasant yet, they've been discussing it with you, and you can't resist fiercely yet.

Moreover, according to Zhai Yongxiang, he also supports Ma Pingli's approach?

At the same time, it can be regarded as a promise to Xu Xuan that in the future, if the subject matter is reviewed, he may be more relaxed.

But I need it!

Xu Xuan doesn't care about small gains and losses.

But you can't sit on my neck and relieve yourself!

Therefore, Xu Xuan felt a little angry. He looked at Wang Shuo and asked, "Director Wang wants to film this movie?"

Wang Shuo actually wanted to save face, but forcing Xu Xuan like this was a bit too much.

Therefore, he shook his head subconsciously and nodded again.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xuan spat out one word at this time: "Get out!"
