Perfect Superstar

Xiangjiang's new film support policy, also known as the Xiangjiang Film Revitalization Support Plan, was released in 2016.

The core of this policy is creating 100 excellent Hong Kong movies and recreating the prosperity of the film and television industry. The Hong Kong government has formulated a special budget for this, and reached a cooperation agreement with relevant domestic departments to recommend 20 Hong Kong films (including Hong Kong and China) every year. Co-production) The film is recommended for release in the Mainland.

This is the so-called green channel for Hong Kong-produced films. According to the agreement reached by the two parties, in addition to enjoying preferential policies in terms of box office sharing and taxation, recommended Hong Kong films also have a basic guarantee for the screening rate.

At present, the domestic film market has become the world's second largest box office after the United States. The competition is naturally extremely fierce, and the pattern of contending for hegemony has long been established. Unless newcomers have a strong background and financial resources, they will not want to squeeze It is undoubtedly a dream come true to go in and get a share of the pie.

The domestic film circle dominated by predators makes it difficult for small and medium-sized film and television organizations to survive. If they don’t want to become affiliated with the former and willing to be exploited, they can only use new media channels to make so-called online movies and online dramas.

Xiangjiang's new film support policy is equivalent to prying open a gap in the big market that has been divided up.

So as soon as the rumors spread, many film and television organizations went to Xiangjiang to seek opportunities, and even some powerful large film companies joined hands with local counterparts on Hong Kong Island to shoot new films.

In the end, 178 Hong Kong-produced (co-produced) films applied for policy quotas to the Hong Kong Film Association, an audit organization designated by the Hong Kong government, and 120 of them passed the preliminary review.

120 films compete for 20 places, the ratio is 6:1, the competition is cruel!

But no matter how cruel it is, A Chinese Ghost Story, which had the best box office performance and the best reputation in Hong Kong at the beginning of 2017, has firmly secured a spot. Even if the final list has not been officially released, there is basically no objection in the industry.

The reason could not be simpler. If A Chinese Ghost Story is not eligible, then which film is more eligible. If the Xiangjiang Film Association really blocks A Chinese Ghost Story from the gate, then the so-called new policy is a joke!

Of course, Lu Chen will not get carried away because of this, he will do all the work or public relations that he should do, and then put the focus of work back in China.

Getting a quota does not mean everything will be fine. There is still a lot of work to be done for A Chinese Ghost Story to be released in China. There are promotional marketing and so on.

For example, according to the agreement,

For Hong Kong films released in major domestic theaters through the green channel, a 10% filming rate must be guaranteed in the first week, but there is no specific date and time period specified, so there are many tricks to play.

Some unscrupulous theaters even steal the box office.

Therefore, after the celebration meeting, Lu Chen entrusted Wan Xiaoquan and Chen Wenqiang to take charge of the work of Xiangjiang Studio, and flew back to China with Chen Feier to preside over the overall situation.

The domestic market is the main battlefield of A Chinese Ghost Story!

However, taking the flight on March 1, the two did not return directly to Beijing, but flew to Hangzhou first.

I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally I'm looking forward to the two of you!

It was Tian Tian who picked up the plane at Hangzhou International Airport. As soon as she saw Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er coming out of the VIP channel, the former beautiful host of Zhedong TV Station complained: You two, are you both No more friends?

Chen Fei'er was amused by her resentful woman appearance, hugged Tian Tian and said with a smile: Aren't we here now? I will pamper you tonight!

To die!

Tian Tianqiao pinched Chen Fei'er blushingly, and secretly glanced at Lu Chen next to her.

The two haven't seen each other for a while, and when they meet, it seems that they have endless things to say.

Lu Chen carried the big and small bags, and smiled wryly, You two beauties, can we go back and talk again?

It was Tian Tian who drove the car back home. First, she went back to her home in Hangzhou to settle down. After lunch, they went to the media company run by Tian Tian.

The full name of Tian Tian's media company is Star Factory Media Co., Ltd. The name Star Factory was given by Lu Chen. In fact, the establishment of this media company also came from his suggestion.

In addition, Star Factory has shares invested by Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er, and this company was jointly founded by the three of them.

It's just that Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er don't have time to manage the business at all, that is, investing money in the early stage of the company's start-up, registration, site selection, recruiting employees, preparing projects, etc., Tian Tian is completely busy alone.

And Star Factory's first project is called The Voice of China!

It was in May last year that Tian Tian came up with the idea to resign and start a business. Lu Chen also provided her with the idea of ​​The Voice of China in May, but Star Factory Media was not officially established until July.

Then Tian Tian began to recruit people to set up a project team. Because it was her first venture, and with the investment from two friends, Lu Chen and Chen Feier, she walked very steadily step by step, and it could even be said to be cautious, so she didn't enter the project until now. actual operating status.

For such a long period, the star factory led by Tian Tian is of course extremely well-prepared. Not only has it formed a team with rich draft experience, but it has also reached a cooperation agreement with Zhedong Satellite TV.

The Voice of China was planned and produced by Star Factory Media, and it was scheduled to be broadcast in the prime time of Zhedong Satellite TV. What the two parties signed was not a common buyout agreement, but a rare advertising share based on ratings.

On the way to the company, Tian Tian briefly introduced the situation in the past six months to the two shareholders.

Although she complained in her words about how hard it is, how difficult it is to start a business alone, and she wanted to give up several times when encountering difficulties, it can be seen that she really wants to break out of a new world of her own and enjoys it.

Now everything is ready and only owes Dongfeng...

The Voice of China has already completed the full set of planning copywriting, the program team is fully prepared, the cooperation agreement is signed, and the official production can start at any time. It can be said that everything is ready.

There is only one problem, that is, the names of the four judges have not been confirmed yet!

Whether this question is big or small, Tian Tian communicated with Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er two months ago, but it has not been really settled.

When it came to this issue, Tian Tian, ​​who was already in a hurry, turned into a domineering president: Neither of you can run away, you must help, otherwise don't blame me for falling out!

Also, you have to help me invite two more big names in the circle, they must be at the level of kings and queens!
