Chapter 236 Maybe if we are a step too late, many people will not be able to watch next year’s Spring Festival Gala!
"Director Su, I asked you to come to the meeting this time to enable the General Administration and the main station to coordinate with each other and work together well. Your network communication center is here to refute the rumors, and we are responsible for monitoring. There is no affiliation! And! With you, Director Su, we are very relieved. Even the programs that have been approved by you do not need to be reviewed."
Director Wang looked solemn.
Actually, this is not in accordance with the procedure, but it can be seen from this that the situation is still very urgent.
This time almost all departments related to the Internet came.
The General Administration only has the power to monitor, but not to enforce the law.
People also came to the network center of the law enforcement department, and multiple departments joined forces.
In the era without firewalls, their work was very heavy.
Faced with some videos coming directly from abroad, many people have no ability to distinguish them.
And whether it is the West or North America, they are all happy to see something happen in the Dragon Kingdom.
It's just that last time I stole the chicken but lost the rice.
On the contrary, Su Yi was made very passive and was disrupted by the black people's march for a long time. Later, he had to bleed heavily to stop them.
Faguo is even more so. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him.
At best, he is just a spectator.
But both the Latins and the Anglo-Saxons have such a history of black slavery. In addition, there are many black people in the country, so the chaos lasted longer than the Star and Flag Country.
This is the power of ‘propaganda’!
It is precisely because of Su Yi that it has been quiet outside during this period.
Most of them are debates between netizens and have little impact.
As long as it is not a large-scale attack like other countries, the problem is not big.
It was precisely because of Su Yi's clean counterattack last time that he was promoted after being refrigerated.
Director Wang also knew that the young man in front of him was very good at publicity and was even a pillar of talent, so before this meeting, he even called Su Yi himself.
"Thank you, Director Wang, for your trust, but I have a lot of things going on recently."
Su Yi hesitated, it was not good to say this.
But you must also express your attitude.
Because he is really in a hurry.
2008!
Natural disaster!
I don’t know if it will be the same as in the previous life, but no one can stop things like natural disasters.
Su Yi's face was solemn.
Even if it offends someone, you have to say it.
Director Wang was stunned. He didn't expect Su Yi to say that.
"Director Hu, did Lao Zhuo give you a new task?"
After all, he is the propaganda outlet and the director of the international channel.
It is a very complex and influential channel both internally and externally.
Su Yi could only nod, but didn't say much.
You can't say that there will be a natural disaster somewhere, right?
"It doesn't matter, just be responsible and help me keep an eye on it... You are also a leader now, so you don't have to do the marriage yourself."
"There is a charity movie on hand. It must be filmed."< br>
Necessary?
Director Wang was stunned.
It’s also a charity movie!
Director Wang is also one of the leaders of the propaganda department, so he naturally knows the policies above.
But in the recent meeting, there seemed to be no public welfare that needed to be promoted
But seeing that Su Yi didn't say anything, Director Wang couldn't ask more questions. After all, it was no longer a system.
“But don’t worry, there won’t be that kind of smear documentary that caused widespread discussion again!”
Su Yi didn't stop talking.
Director Wang nodded happily, even though he was rejected.
But I also saw Su Yi's urgency. There must be something very urgent that needs to be done.
This boy is no longer the college student who just graduated. He understands the urgency of the matter.
“If you need support from me, just say——”
Director Wang was originally speaking politely.
“It’s really necessary. I need a quick review of this script!”
A quick review?
Director Wang was stunned.
····
China Film Group.
Han Sanping was humming a little tune, it was rare to see him in a good mood.
Although "The Heroes Attack" lost money.
But the IMAX theater in Changjin Lake is divided into many.
And he also made a lot of money after being a slave for twelve years.
When it comes to investing in movies, even if you are looking for some famous directors, you are not sure.
Otherwise, this era has great limitations. An award-winning work from a foreign authoritative institution can make this director's "brilliance" continue.
But this time he has to settle for a long time.
Because ordinary small companies can’t afford it!
China Film lost 100 million.
Huayi lost 150 million!
Although it can be sold to some online broadcast platforms in the future.
But you must know that there are many pirated websites now, and other online broadcast platforms are not fools.
If you have a high number of views, I will sell it at a high price.
The box office is so mediocre, why should we buy it? Do charity!
The reason why Han Sanping was in a good mood was not because he was "lost and crazy" about losing money.
But because of the establishment of the IMAX theater.
There are already two movies to be approved, both IMAX·3D movies!
Actually, this doesn't matter. After all, the giant screen hall can also play ordinary movies, just change to a projector.
So many cinemas have participated.
This made Red Star House make a lot of money.
This can be regarded as Su Yi's thanks for helping them.
In Han Sanping's view, this is a milestone moment for the Dragon Kingdom movie.
And Warner Company is also full of sincerity. With Su Yi's help, it taught them many techniques.
Of course these are not free, but purchased at a high price.
"Chairman Han."
When Han Sanping turned around to pack up documents, he saw Su Yi hurriedly at the door.
"What's wrong? You came in such a hurry. Come, sit down and drink some tea and talk slowly."
Logically speaking, at Han Sanping's level, if others want to see him, they must first Make an appointment, even for a director with potential like Lu Chuan.
But everyone in the China Film Group knew that if Su Yi wanted to see Han Sanping, no one would dare to stop him. If it was delayed for any reason, Han Sanping would lose his temper.
"There is a movie script, please pass the review as soon as possible."
Su Yi said it a bit rudely, and did not dare to waste time.
Actually, he himself is also to blame for this matter. After all, he was too busy in 2007.
I have been busy taking pictures of Changjin Lake.
Also at the beginning of the year, I was very busy because of things at home and abroad.
There are still a few months left, enough time to shoot a short film.
"Is it a charity movie this time?"
Han Sanping frowned when he saw the classification of the project.
He still remembered the last charity movie "Dear". Although the movie was very touching, with the word "philanthropy" in it, basically everything was free.
This is very detrimental to the development of movies. After all, this is no longer the era of universal public ownership.
If you want to develop the film industry, you still need to activate the box office of Dragon Kingdom.
Su Yi did very well before. The box office increased from 1 billion to 2.4 billion. This is a qualitative leap!
It also gave many directors of Dragon Kingdom hope, and even made Hollywood film companies respect Dragon Kingdom a lot.
After all, no one can live with money, especially their capital.
If it were not for political coercion, more Hollywood film companies would cooperate with the current Dragon Kingdom.
However, Han Sanping believes that political pressure can only make them wait and see for a short time. As long as Warner's cooperation with them achieves great success, those capitalists will definitely be red-eyed.
And now that Dragon Kingdom is integrating with the world, it is the 'honeymoon period', and there are no sanctions.
“This charity movie is not free at the box office, unlike the previous 6 programs, which are free to watch. Instead, all the proceeds from the movie box office will be used for charity.”< br>
A rare seriousness appeared on Su Yi's face.
Normally, Su Yi always smiles. It is obvious that he encountered something urgent today.
Han Sanping glanced at Su Yi.
He has not seen Su Yi since the last incident at the Directors Guild.
The president of the Dragon Kingdom Film Directors Association is really young, but compared to his amazing achievements, no one would find it strange.
"That's no problem. I still know your director Su's skills, but do you want to shoot an IMAX·3D version of the movie? The shooting period is very long, and the post-production is also long! No matter how fast it is, It will take half a year! It won’t meet your expectations at all.”
Han Sanping looked at it briefly.
It is a movie about a natural disaster.
This kind of movie is definitely not a novel subject matter, and after being filmed in many countries, its box office performance was average, and it even felt a bit thankless.
But to be honest, now that there are 3D movies, it is more immersive.
Using IMAX·3D technology can simulate some realities, but the investment will certainly not be small, and all of it must be used for public welfare!
In this case, it is simply a loss-making behavior.
Han Sanping looked at Su Yi with some confusion.
"Chairman Han, that's it! This movie can be regarded as a public welfare movie and a popular science movie. It teaches people how to save lives in the shortest possible time when encountering an earthquake disaster. To ensure the safety of your life, how can you choose a more effective way to save yourself?"
Su Yi didn't explain much, but finding China Film Group was definitely the fastest.
Everything is going through the ‘back door’.
This is the first time Su Yi has done this.
Han Sanping was also hesitant. The words sounded a bit official, and they didn't sound like they were coming from Su Yi's mouth. They sounded more like propaganda for a certain meeting - could this be a new task from above?
Han Sanping knew that in some meetings, Su Yi was more 'important' than his own identity, and he often participated in some important meetings.
"I have already talked with Director Wang about the review. It is a very fast review and we will try to release it around April, and I have already selected the actors."
Han Sanping was surprised. .
Why does this kid move so fast this time?
If he had to make a science and education movie, Han Sanping frowned and thought for a long time.
"If we invest in a department of China Film Group. Su Yi, you also know that although I am the voice of the China Film Group, many things still need to be voted on. Especially after the investment incident occurred. "
Han Sanping smiled bitterly. He just made a rule, but he didn't expect it to be broken so soon.
This matter is not a disguised rejection by Han Sanping. It was the incident of investing and attacking at that time.
At that time, the system of China Film Group was not very complete.
When Chen Kaige learned that Su Yi was going to film Changjin Lake, he found the script of Heroes Attack, and then asked Huayi Brothers to come forward to discuss cooperation with China Film.
Han Sanping was not here at that time.
The vice chairman of China Film Group directly signed the contract - strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with this contract.
However, this movie caused the China Film Group to lose a lot of money. After Han Sanping came back, he felt a little angry, but he didn't get angry directly. Instead, he set this rule.
"Okay! I only require an investment of 50 million."
Although this is already a high investment for an ordinary movie in Longguo, after hearing the price, Han Sanping still breathed a sigh of relief.
50 million is okay!
However, the words Su Yi dropped before leaving in a hurry still made him shake his head helplessly.
“For other investments, I can just find another department.”
However, Han Sanping felt a little hot when he looked at the movie script on the table.
IMAX·3D movie again?
Originally, the craze for IMAX·3D movies was very high during this period.
Although the box office was a bit weak in the later period, after all, not everyone was willing to spend 158 to go to the movies, but it has already created a miracle.
Education Department.
"Hello, Director Su! You are really a rare visitor here. We said before that we would like you to help promote the education department."
Director Zhou shook hands with Su Yi enthusiastically , this time the education department also won a lot of funds for investing in movies.
Although most of the money in these departments is allocated from above, they cannot spend it casually.
So the education department will also cooperate with some companies. The profits earned are not used in private wallets, but in some new policies, such as some scholarships, etc., which are distributed by the education department. .
The money may not sound like much, and the number of places in one school is not very large - but it cannot support the number of schools in the country!
After making money from investing in movies this time, Director Zhou straightened his back.
At the beginning, many people thought pessimistically that as long as they did not lose money, it would be fine.
But what I didn’t expect was that this time the box office exploded to 2.4 billion, with half of the box office taken by theaters.
As well as Su Yi’s share, the remaining three departments all earned almost 100 million!
So in their eyes, Su Yi is also the same as the 'God of Wealth'.
I was a little surprised when I saw Su Yi coming in a hurry today.
"Director Zhou, the situation is urgent, let me make a long story short! There is a charity movie. I think it is in line with the promotional film you mentioned before. However, the investment cost is about 50 million."
Director Zhou Startled.
Logically speaking, Su Yi is very busy. I have approached Su Yi before, but nothing happened.
It’s not that Su Yi doesn’t give face, but that he has a lot to do.
When Director Zhou heard the words "public welfare movie", he hesitated.
Although he doesn't understand the rules of the film industry as well as Han Sanping, he still understands the four words "public welfare film".
It is related to public welfare. No matter what kind of work it is, basically except for some capital that can be recovered, the rest must be donated to public welfare undertakings.
When Su Yi filmed the movie "Dear", it was not even shown in cinemas. Instead, he chose to show it on TV stations and TV stations.
Although it was considered that he had sold sky-high advertising fees, even those All fees, after excluding the cost of filming the film, were donated to relevant charities!
One thing is certain, that is, the education department cannot regard investing in movies as a job of its own department.
Last time it was just to allow students at school to understand the spirit of that era and jointly invest. This was also a policy issued by the above.
And compared to other departments, especially compared to China Film and Shanghai Film and Television, the education department is very sensitive on this matter.
It is impossible to invest in something that is not sure, because if the box office fails, the education funds will be lost.
At that time, it was not just the country’s money that was lost - although the financial department would allocate money to the education department and distribute it to schools, in many cases if you want to do something, you still need to set aside more funds.
Such as schools in mountainous areas, such as poor families.
So they can't make such a bet. Last time they only invested because they felt they couldn't lose money.
"Director Su, to be honest, the two of us have worked together so many times. You helped me when we first met. I am very grateful, but I need to ask the leader for instructions on this matter. , I can't agree to you directly, because the last time it was a political mission, the superiors directly found me and negotiated with you."
Director Zhou looked at Su Yi sincerely.
He actually had some expectations in his heart, because Su Yi just said that this was also to promote their education department. He didn't know what form it was in, but the works shot by Su Yi were definitely fine!
"Director Su, don't leave yet. I'm going to ask the leader for instructions now."
Director Zhou looked at Su Yi's anxious expression and immediately picked up the phone.
Because he knew that Su Yi would never come to him in such a hurry if there was nothing urgent.
So even though this was not the normal process of asking for instructions from the leader, I still dialed the number.
After all, he owed Su Yi so many favors.
Next, Su Yi went to the Bayi Factory and the law enforcement department.
"So fast? They say you, Director Su, are fast! When we filmed Twelve Years a Slave, it took more than ten days to create a miracle. I didn't expect that you would give me face so quickly—— ”
The law enforcement leader was a little surprised to see Su Yi find him.
But soon, due to some professional sensitivities, his heart tightened.
I remembered the last live broadcast.
"Director Su! We are old friends. You can't always pick me to trick you!"
Old Liu is even a cadre on the same level as him.
Without the above order, it stands to reason that you cannot move.
But in the live broadcast, this ‘hidden rule’ cannot be reflected.
Seeing that Su Yi was a little anxious this time, he coughed.
"It's definitely positive publicity, and it's not a live broadcast. It needs to be reviewed by the General Administration!"
Su Yi nodded.
If it weren't for the disparity in strength, he wouldn't want to take the risk - there was no other way last time.
But this time the situation is different.
Su Yi knew that even if the filming was successful, there were limits to what could be done.
But as a person in the publicity department, a media person, and a charity director.
He can only do his best!
"No problem, as long as it passes the review! We don't have high requirements, just a short video!"
The law enforcement leader is smiling, this guy is pretty reliable.
I was the first to think of this kind of thing, but it was just a public welfare short film.
Tens of thousands is too much, right?
It doesn’t take a popular actor—
“Almost 20 million!”
20 million?
The leader of the law enforcement department coughed violently.
Is this considered blackmail?
Or a scam?
The law enforcement leader looked at Su Yi helplessly.
"I know Director Su will not make money by himself. But our funds are limited!"
Although the law enforcement department has great power, it sounds very powerful.
But funds are still limited.
Although 20 million won't make them tremble, it still depends on where it is spent.
It’s no problem to buy some high-tech technology and equipment.
Two hundred million is enough!
But a promotional video
20 million?
Before coming, Su Yi had a brief understanding of their situation.
“IMAX·3D promotional video! And it will be played in the form of a movie. The money will definitely be repaid by then - but it cannot make money, the money must be used for public welfare!”
Law enforcement leaders After thinking about it, it was not the main business after all.
And he has already seen the glory of "Changjin Lake" IMAX·3D.
He also went to see this movie.
I rarely went to the cinema at first, but then I went to see the 3D version when there were few moviegoers.
It really shocked him.
“Do I still need to provide weapons?”
The law enforcement leader suddenly said.
"Just provide some uniforms and ordinary front-line law enforcement officers."
Su Yi thought for a while and needed the cooperation of various departments.
In order to complete this work in the shortest possible time.
Everything is racing against death!
Su Yi knew that even in his current status, it was impossible to tell the leaders directly.
There's an earthquake somewhere!
And if word really gets out, it will probably cause panic!
When the time comes, I will not be a hero, but a sinner!
And Su Yi doesn't do it for this.
If it were just for fame and wealth, what he had done was enough.
Whether it's quitting your job to start a company, or being a director in name only.
A small goal a year is easy.
"Okay! I understand. Where is the filming location? My soldiers can't go abroad!"
The law enforcement leader said with some surprise.
“Wenzhou!”
The law enforcement leader frowned slightly, why did he choose this place?
The place is not too big, and are there any local places suitable for shooting?
······
Su family.
“Son, are you going on a business trip again? It’s almost the Chinese New Year.”
Father Su felt a little distressed.
We had originally agreed to celebrate the New Year together, but this time Su Yi declined the Capital TV Spring Festival Gala invitation.
Because he has opened up his mind, many TV stations have discovered the essence of it.
To spread the culture of the Dragon Kingdom, even some dance-type programs that were not popular before can be so amazing.
So even without Su Yi, the filming can still be successful. After all, he is a director, not a performer.
We originally promised to spend the New Year together, but this time we left early.
"There is no way I have to go this time. Just like the last time I went abroad."
Su Yi smiled.
Last time abroad!
The old couple looked at each other, a little frightened.
How could it be so serious?
Because they know why they went abroad last time!
“Don’t worry, it’s not about politics.”
It’s about saving our compatriots!
Su Yi has already looked at the Shu land on the map.
He is not the savior.
But it is difficult not to act, and it is also difficult to remain indifferent!
Maybe if I am a step too late, many people will not be able to watch next year’s Spring Festival Gala!
Thank you all for your support with your monthly ticket recommendation!
