I saw a post on Douban before, which was an industry insider's answer to a netizen's question. It mentioned sensitive subjects, such as "The Hidden Corner" and "The Silent Truth", and other excellent dramas. Why are there so few questions...

Are the major film and television companies fools?

Can’t you tell what kind of drama the audience wants?

Keep feeding shit?

The person in the industry answered this way: "Because this type of subject matter is not endorsed by relevant people, it is impossible to pass the review! Without background, you will be killed during the submission review stage!"

Well, although it is a bit sad and angry, it is also true.

When it comes to sensitive topics, if you can't find an authoritative person to endorse it, it's impossible to pass.

Even so, everyone knows how much has been deleted from "The Silent Truth"...

The lines were greatly deleted, the actors re-recorded their lines several times, and some of the subtitles in the play did not match the mouth movements.

This review makes me speechless!

Let's talk about "The Silent Truth". Is that scale comparable to "Black Ice" and "Black Hole" at the beginning of the last century?

Getting tighter...

Just don't let the smoking scenes appear...

What should I do if I have already shot it? Just remove the smoke in post-production...

No matter how good your acting skills are, you can't portray that wisp of smoke on your head!

Overkill!

Why are you all rushing to take pictures of sweet pets and ancient dolls?

Because it’s safe!

I definitely won’t get stuck on this kind of subject matter…

This is the situation.

Sanye is well-known in the circle as a master of passing examinations.

In the eyes of the outside world, Third Master is already a code of some kind of consensus, representing a mysterious power background.

With his blessing, the drama series can be broadcast smoothly...

The censorship is terrible.

What’s even more terrifying is that so many years of censorship have trained the audience into qualified censors with partisan views. Any disagreement is a warning of distorted views. If a movie is not positive, it will be embarrassed to be released.

"The Troubles of Charlotte" is a comedy, but it can be said to have incorrect views!

Back to the topic, after listening to Shen Changlin's idea for "Big Shot", Director Han thought about it for a while, and then asked him: "Why not set the background in Xiangjiang?"

Shen Changlin answered honestly: "...because I'm not familiar with the system in Xiangjiang, and to be honest, I always feel that Xiangjiang is a bit distant from mainland audiences..."

This is also the main reason why "Better Days" and "The Fuse" failed to do well at the box office.

“…Which city do you want to set the background in?”

"Shanghai!"

"... Then you remember that Shanghai must not appear in the movie. If it is mentioned, just mention Guanghai or Beihai!"

"Got it, let's be free!"

Director Han nodded: "Yes!"

"...Okay," Shen Changlin nodded: "I'll prepare the script when I go back to get it..."

"Wait a minute!" Director Han stopped him: "Since it is an action scene, I must invite the Xiangjiang team, right?"

Shen Changlin didn't know why: "...the Xiangjiang team was not used in "Xiu Chun Dao"!"

"I suggest you use them...because if you use them, it will be easier to pass the trial!"

"…alright, I got it!"

This is a fact. The film censorship system for films involving the Heung Kong production team is often lenient. Many content that should be banned in the mainland can be passed by the Heung Kong production team.

The most typical example is "Drug War". Basically all the police who showed their faces died, and the execution was broadcast live in the end. However, the live broadcast of the death penalty in "Scorching Sun" was deleted...

Because one is Du Qifeng and the other is Cao Baoping!

This is reality, you just have to accept it...

Shen Changlin nodded, knowing the situation...

This is a very easy solution. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a co-production or a Hong Kong team. Just find a few Hong Kong actors to play supporting roles.

Director Han continued: "Have you confirmed the casting for "Big Shot"?"

"Well, Sun Honglei will play the male lead and the negative one... I want to use a new person."

“…how much does it cost?”

Shen Changlin thought about it and then replied: "It should not exceed 50 million..."

"What about China Film Projection?"

"I came to you because I wanted China Film to participate in the investment!"

With China Film's support, Shen Changlin feels more at ease...

…

Actually, if you give me some context, it's not that Shen Changlin doesn't understand.

How should I put it, Yuan Shikong, he writes about China Entertainment, so he knows everything about this stuff, at least a little bit.

Why go to Director Han specifically?

Be a good boy - please let Mr. Han know me well!

By the way, let’s make acquaintance with China Film Group—state-owned enterprises have great energy!

China Film’s core resources do not lie in film and television production, but in industry connections and resources. There are things that state-owned enterprises can do that cannot be overridden by private enterprises.

Let's put it this way, this dynasty has even been able to monopolize film import quotas, and it still has to go to the WTO for adjudication. Do you think the private sector can overcome this natural obstacle?

At that time, during the reform of state-owned enterprises, we also saw that state-owned enterprises were in full decline. What happened next?

It’s not just that state-owned enterprises can dominate resources, use policies if they can, and delineate areas to play on their own.

Director Tang is very smart!

Even though I started my own company and left the system, I did not forget to keep in touch with the people from before...

The same goes for Shen Changlin...

Even if you are in a private company, don't forget to make friends with the big bosses. After all, they are in the media!

…

"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect her to have such thoughts..."

Just after leaving China Film and Television, Guo Songjiang called and apologized...

After all, according to him, Zhong Lifeng was considering joining Changlin Film Company, but when they met, that was not the case at all.

"It's okay, nothing was delayed..."

Shen Changlin didn't care about this, since he ate well anyway.

"…That…"

"Let's continue recruiting. You don't have to target people in the industry. You can find a group of fresh graduates. You can take them with you..."

"Um."

"Any thing else?"

Shen Changlin fastened his seat belt and prepared to start the car.

"After you left, Zhong Lifang mentioned "Carry Love to the End"..."

Shen Changlin was happy: "...I think you want us to withdraw, right?"

"Yes...even though she didn't say it directly, that's what she meant."

"Carry Love to the End" takes advantage of the huge publicity advantages of Galloping Horse's advertising business, launching trailers, advertising and marketing, and by the way, Wang Fei and Chen Yixun were also invited to jointly sing the theme song "Because" of "Carry Love" "Love" and even attended the Spring Festival Gala!

"It's okay, we released it three days earlier than it did!"

Shen Changlin doesn't care much...

As a movie, "Will Love" is nothing, it's extremely bad...

"Boss, I really think we can change the schedule..."

"Impossible!" Shen Changlin took the initiative to change the topic: "Stop talking about this, is there anything else?"

"Oh, by the way, the Changchun Film Festival sent us an invitation letter. Do you want to go?"

Shen Changlin became interested and asked a barrage of questions: "Is "Xiu Chun Knife" shortlisted? How many shortlisted? How many awards has it won? I heard that domestic film festivals inform guests in advance whether they have won or not... "

"Listen to me first..." Guo Songjiang on the other end of the phone continued: "That's it, our movie will be released in July and is not within the scope of the film festival's approval!"

Shen Changlin was stunned for several seconds, and then asked: "...Why?"

"That's the rule!"
Chapter completed!
