Coquettish Rebirth

"Brother, why did you accept this story? What's so good about this story?" Jiang Wu lay on the bed in the hotel, asking his brother a little confused.Jiang Wen, who was lying on the other bed, was happy without looking back, "Xiaoer, do you know that there are always people in the society who talk about theories that others don't understand. This platform acts like that. Theoretically, it just refuses to speak human language properly! Fuck him! You have to explain the profound things in a simple way, and speak in terms that ordinary people can understand. Don’t they understand this? In fact, it’s because they are pretending to be deep! They The water itself is too shallow, and the water does not reach the feet when you step down, but in order to pretend, they made muddy water covered in clouds and mist, so that people can't see how deep they are at a glance..."

Having said that, Jiang Wen turned his head and smiled at his younger brother, "Isn't this story just right for the two of us? Think about it, use a story that children can understand and then tell an adult who enjoys it for a long time after reading it, and finally returns to the story." After thinking about it carefully, there seems to be something in the words... How interesting is this? And all the actors don't need them to play, and we can control all their expressions, how fun is it?" In Jiang Wu's view at this time, Although his elder brother Jiang Wen had a smile on his face, there was an inexplicable paranoia in his eyes, which made people have to obey rather than confront him.

Just when Jiang Wu decided to obey his elder brother and follow him, he suddenly heard his elder brother ask: "You said... put the background of this film in the 30s, when the government of the Republic of China moved the cultural relics of the Palace Museum to the south. How about what happened in the cultural relics warehouse in Nanzhili? Or when they moved westward to Shuchuan?" Although Jiang Wen's words appeared to be interrogative sentences, in fact Jiang Wu knew that there was no need to answer them. .My brother will soon have his own ideas...

Sure enough, Jiang Wen said soon: "Well, this story itself is a very linear story, and it is very particular about the beginning and the end. It is the way Hollywood does it, and it is very dramatic. So when making a book, you can't play too much." Great, don’t be too stream-of-consciousness. Tell the story honestly, so that everyone can understand it—it’s such a simple story in itself, and no one understands it. The tm is the director pretending to be an egg! Anyone can understand it If there is no urine point, people can’t feel that they can go to the toilet when they have time after watching..." On the surface, these words sounded like Jiang Wen was chatting with Jiang Wu, but in fact it was Jiang Wen himself talking to himself chat.

In fact, Jia Hongjian was lying on the bed thinking about this story at this time.He knew that Jiang Wen was a talented man, but the existence of this talented man seemed completely out of tune with the Chinese film industry.He is like a foreign artistic chef, who sets up an upstairs restaurant, and then does not allow guests to order food at all, only allows guests to come in after paying, and obediently eat a portion according to his mood and ideas as a cook. A completely different dish in the restaurant!

Jiang Wen's talent and skill basically have nothing to learn from other people in the Chinese film industry, but such a director is different from the complete industrialization of Hollywood. He is equivalent to Qi Baishi in the field of Chinese painting, although such a director Praise is a bit too much, but it is indeed different from foreign oil painting systems.It can be said that it has taken a road that is completely different from Hollywood blockbusters on the surface but somewhat similar in spiritual core, even though Jiang Wenlai is the director.There is no way to produce animations or movies with a Hollywood feel, but under his guidance, a series of experienced behind-the-scenes employees can be cultivated, which is very useful to Jia Hongjian.

This is why Jia Hongjian chose Jiang Wen.And not one of his own reasons.He expects Jiang Wen's film to give him an unexpected surprise, which is very precious to him, a reborn person, because there are very few things and things in this world that can keep him curious and looking forward to Yes, to have such an expectation now is basically the same as a magician wanting another magician to do a magic trick that he can’t understand—in this way, he can get back the original feeling that he started on the road of magic. move!Similarly, Jia Hongjian now also hopes to have something to give him an unexpected surprise.Apparently he was the director himself.There is no way to give himself a surprise, unless he puts a lot of effort into splitting his mind.

In the next few days, Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu did not run back to the capital, but stayed in a hotel in Shanghai and began to immerse themselves in sorting out their thoughts. On the side of Huamei Animation, a large number of employees also began to discuss together. Working on designing the script.However, Jia Hongjian did not care about this matter for the time being, but found Cheng Yu, the deputy secretary of the Shanghai Stock Exchange Committee. "Boss Cheng, help me introduce ten manufacturers who can make toys, and the quality should be better." Jia Hongjian is now helping to find factories for Disney's request.

"Toy factory? What are you going to do? Have a new idea?" Cheng Yu obviously thought that Jia Hongjian wanted to enter the toy field or something.However, Jia Hongjian sighed and replied, "Where, I found it for others, Disney. Our Pixar company under Huaxia Hi-Tech cooperated with Disney on an animation, and then I want the power in the mainland market. Disney is now It just so happens that the production of toys and other things is in a state of exhaustion, so let me help you find ten factories."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu felt that Jia Hongjian was trying to save face and help him!From Cheng Yu's point of view, if Jia Hongjian wanted to find ten toy manufacturers, he might not be able to find them?I really want to advertise on TV, and then thousands of toy factories across the country can find it!But now people call him like this to ask him to help recommend, this is to give him face, give him a chance to sell favors, and give him a chance to get grades!After all, it can help ten toy factories get orders from Disney. This is an international order, and it is a huge stimulus to the Shanghai stock market or state-owned toy factories in related areas!

But Cheng Yu would never have guessed that Jia Hongjian was actually lazy.If he wants to release an advertisement or something, shouldn't that be more troublesome?How easy is it to just call Cheng Yu now?And it can also make Cheng Yu feel that he is deliberately selling Cheng Yu's face, not only can he be lazy openly, but also get the favor of others, this is simply the best choice!

Soon, Cheng Yu helped Jia Hongjian find ten toy factories within a few days. Among these toy factories, one or two were located in Shanghai, and the others were basically within the five provinces of East China. This time, Cheng Yu not only helped Jia Hongjian complete the character, but also helped Jia Hongjian sell some face. In this way, basically the provincial leading cadres in five provinces and one city in East China knew about it. The second time was the business that Jia Hongjian helped everyone bring in, and they were all grateful to Jia Hongjian—you must know that in this era, with the rise of various townships and private toy factories, the days of state-owned toy factories are really getting better and better. The more embarrassing it is, now there is such an opportunity to help Disney make toys, it is like a pie in the sky!

While expressing his gratitude to the ten toy factories in five provinces and one city in East China, Jia Hongjian called Disney so that people from Disney could come and inspect the site.And under the spur of their lord king, the Disney people flew over like dogs.Under the pressure and choice of the provincial party committee, these ten toy factories all passed Disney's inspection smoothly, and then they were able to get a large number of orders from Disney.At this time, Jia Hongjian was going to talk to Disney's King Eisner about the exclusive marketing of "Toy Story" in the Chinese market.

"I have found ten manufacturers now, Mr. Eisner, I think we can now talk about Huaxia Hi-Tech's full rights to accept the release of "Toy Story" in mainland China and the corresponding income?"

"Okay, first tell me why we, Disney, want to fully entrust the mainland market to you, and what benefits can we gain?" Eisner asked very directly.Regarding this, Jia Hongjian also has all kinds of data in his heart, "The number of movies imported into mainland China is limited every year, and movies like 6D animation movies are usually imported as special movies, and there are 8-13 movies a year. The number of movie quotas, but it is also a share of the account. As a foreign distributor, you only have about 15% to 15% of the share, and the rest is the income of domestic theaters and distributors. The distribution company China Film Corporation can get almost half of the market box office, while your Disney can only get 10%. But if you cooperate with us and adopt the co-production mode of release, you can completely avoid this factor, and 45% of the fee will be given to the distribution company. About 45% will be shared by the theater chain, about 10% of the remaining 35% will be handed over, and the remaining [-]% can be divided between us, and if such a share is made, I believe you Disney can earn it no matter what. Is it higher than the ledger?"

Jia Hongjian was talking about the current situation of the film market in this era.After China's film market has been opened up in the past two years, imported films are basically divided into three types, one is the blockbuster film, the other is the approved film, and the other is the special film.As the name suggests, the account-sharing blockbuster is a share of accounts between Chinese and foreign parties, but in fact the share that the foreign party can get is very small, basically it is about 13.00%, and more is 15.00%. This kind of account-sharing blockbuster is basically Hollywood. The most famous blockbusters of the year by the eight major film companies.

And the so-called split films are basically ordinary American films released by small Hollywood companies, which are not considered blockbusters, such as "The Expendables" back then.This kind is directly after the distribution rights in the mainland market are bought out for 10,000+ US dollars or hundreds of thousands of US dollars, and China Film Corporation is responsible for its own profits and losses. If you earn more, then China Film will make money. If you lose money, then China Film will lose. However, thanks to the blessings of the Hollywood film industry system, this kind of film approval basically means that when there is no loss, it is basically the rhythm that can beat up the local "little gangsters" all over the world...
