A few days later, when all the on-site filming of "2012" was completed, Yang Ming flew back to Yanjing with the crew.

The next day, when he saw the foreigner following Liu Xinsheng in the office, he couldn't help but be stunned. Why did this foreigner look so familiar to him?

Seeing Yang Ming's confused eyes, Liu Xinsheng smiled and introduced Yang Ming: "Mr. Ming, this Alva is the former manager of Pan American Entertainment in China."

"Uh!" Yang Ming patted his head and immediately remembered who this familiar guy was. Unexpectedly, Barber actually recruited him too.

But think about it now that Barber and Coakley are at loggerheads. His former valued subordinate at Pan American Entertainment will definitely be disliked by Coakley and the new general manager.

As emperor and courtiers, whether these people were poached by Barber or took the initiative to contact Barber, this is a good thing for Yang Ming and Oriental DreamWorks.

Now that "Die Hard" wanted a release permit, Alva, who was familiar with these processes, was sent over by Barber.

"Yang, Mr. Barber asked you to ask if there is any other way to obtain a release permit. It is not a wonderful thing to get quotas from several vampires." Alva said with a sad face.

In the past few days, Yang Ming has become aware of China's current policy on imported films through Liu Xinsheng.

Although China in this world is not as stringent in censoring imported films as in previous generations, the quantity is still limited just like in previous generations.

Hollywood currently receives a quota of 20 imported films each year, but I have heard that it will be increased in a few years, but this year's quota has already been divided up by Hollywood film companies.

Many schedules have already been set and are just waiting for release. Although they have film quotas in their hands, film companies that do not yet have suitable films do not worry that no one will take their quotas.

Those film companies that need quotas can obtain quotas from these film companies at a high cost.

Although Barber has deep connections in Hollywood, he does not have much effect in this regard.

When "Die Hard" is released in the United States, he can also use his deep connections to get theaters to arrange more screens for Oriental DreamWorks, but there is little he can do in this regard.

Therefore, he asked Yang Ming to see if there was any channel in China to obtain a release license for "Die Hard".

If it really doesn’t work, we can only give up on the Chinese film market this year.

"Brother Liu, what are you doing over there?" Yang Ming thought for a while and asked Liu Xinsheng.

"It's not easy to operate. The government said that the schedule has been set and cannot be changed!" Liu Xinsheng said solemnly.

Yang Ming frowned deeply when he heard this, and couldn't think of a good way for a while. He was somewhat caught off guard by the differences between different systems.

If a Chinese film wants to be released in the United States, there is no need for a public release license, but it still needs to be reviewed. However, this review only needs to reach a release agreement with the theater company, which is basically just a formality.

At best, this kind of review is just a grading of movies.

However, due to the cultural gap between East and West, there are very few Chinese films that can succeed in the American film market.

Therefore, the cultural department of the United States does not impose certain restrictions on the number of imported films like China does.

However, if foreign films want to enter the Chinese film market, they need extremely cumbersome procedures. However, Yang Ming heard that this restriction will not be too long and may disappear in two years. Therefore, local film talents will be like this

I am so worried that I am so guarded against Hollywood blockbusters.

"I'll call the old dean and ask him." Yang Ming thought for a moment and said.

Both himself and Oriental DreamWorks are newcomers to the Chinese entertainment industry. Although they have achieved certain results, their qualifications and background are indeed too shallow.

Now he can see if there is any good way through the old dean. After all, the old man's status in the Chinese film industry is indeed very high. He seemed to have heard that the old dean was also the vice chairman of the Chinese Film Association!

After a while, Yang Ming finished the call and put down the phone. Liu Xinsheng asked anxiously and concernedly: "How was it? What did the dean say?"

"He asked me to find Minister Guo!" Yang Ming said.

Guo Rentao is in a very happy mood during this period, or in other words, he has not been in a bad mood since the end of last year.

All thanks to the documentary "A Bite of China"!

The higher-ups want to take advantage of the country's hosting of the World Cup to promote Chinese culture in the world and deepen people's understanding of China.

At that time, the task was entrusted to him.

Several propaganda films in succession were rejected by the higher authorities, and he had a bad temper during that period. If he, the deputy minister in charge of propaganda, really fails to produce a qualified national propaganda film, it will be detrimental to his political

In terms of career, it is undoubtedly a fatal blow.

This kind of ending was naturally unacceptable to Guo Rentao, who was in his prime.

However, no one expected that during an accidental research meeting, a newly emerged Phoenix TV station would actually produce a documentary that made him shine. After it was broadcast, it aroused heated discussion among the people and received unanimous praise.

.

Moreover, when this documentary was translated into the language versions of several countries and screened in various countries with the support of the state, it also caused a great impact.

Especially those overseas Chinese who saw this documentary were aroused with homesickness and cried bitterly. The traditional Chinese culture contained in the documentary touched the soul of every descendant of the dragon.

Foreign audiences are also very interested in the magical cooking methods of Chinese food shown in the documentary "A Bite of China". According to incomplete statistics, in any country where this documentary is broadcast, the local Chinese food business is booming.

Even now, things are much better than when this documentary was not shown.

Through China's food culture, China's attention in the world has increased a lot.

Because of this, Guo Rentao also received a very high evaluation from the above. He learned that it is estimated that in a few days, the word "deputy" in front of his minister will be removed.

Whenever he thinks about this, he can't help but think of that extremely confident young man. Sometimes he hints to that young man that if he needs help in any way, don't be polite. However, he doesn't expect that the young man seems to have forgotten himself.

hint, but never spoke.

Suddenly, the landline phone in front of him rang. Looking at the caller ID on it, his face was stunned. He thought of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was here.

What a coincidence.

"Haha, why did you think of calling me today?" Guo Rentao greeted Yang Ming affectionately.

If this young man was just an excellent director, it would not be enough for Guo Rentao, a high-ranking official of the country, to pay so much attention to it, but he knew that this young man had the wealth of a television station and a large regional newspaper, so he had to pay so much attention to it.

In this world, the importance of media is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Especially if he wants to reach a higher level in the future, it will be much easier with the cooperation of the media.

"Minister Guo, I heard that you are going to be promoted, so I called you in advance to congratulate you." Yang Ming said with a smile. He had always kept in touch with the first high-ranking government official he had made friends with in this life.

Wu Yuanzhi's representative Yang Ming goes there every holiday. In addition, because of "A Bite of China", the relationship between the two parties is indeed relatively close.

"I don't know about you kid yet. If you have nothing to do, don't go to the Three Treasures Hall. If you have anything to do, just say it directly." Guo Rentao laughed and scolded. Because of Yang Ming's age, he has always treated this young man as a junior, a junior who is very worthy of investment.

.

Yang Ming chuckled when he heard this, and without beating around the bush, he went straight to the point and told the matter about the 'Public Screening Permit'.

At the end, he couldn't help but say: "Minister Guo, look at some film companies that can get domestic distribution and release without taking up quotas just because of joint venture filming. This is a pure local investment!"

"Haha!" Guo Rentao couldn't help but laugh when he heard Yang Ming's complaining words, "You kid, don't blame others. Let me do this. I'll ask around and give you the answer later."

During the phone call, Guo Rentao did not give Yang Ming a very definite answer. After all, as a senior government official, he would not take over everything even if he was sure of it.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from Uncle Guo." At the end of the sentence, Yang Ming couldn't help but start a relationship.

"You kid." Guo Rentao smiled and said nothing.

Guo Rentao did not keep Yang Ming waiting for too long. He called Yang Ming the next day and asked him to take the contract for the acquisition of the Hollywood film company to the radio and television department.

Yang Ming knew there was something going on as soon as he heard it. After hanging up the phone, he took the contract and went to the radio and television department with Liu Xinsheng.

This is the first time Yang Ming has visited the radio and television department in this life. He had never been there in his previous life. However, compared to his previous life, the functions and power of the radio and television department in this life are much smaller than those in his previous life.

In this life, he is a subordinate unit of the National Propaganda Department.

When Yang Ming and Liu Xinsheng walked into the radio and television department, they asked the relevant staff to find out where the department responsible for film distribution was located and took the elevator upstairs.

After Yang Ming and Liu Xinsheng entered the elevator, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face walked out of the corridor not far away.

"Hey, why is he here?"

This middle-aged man is Zhao Ziyang, who once made things difficult for Wu Yuanzhi and Yang Ming at the meeting held by domestic first-line TV stations in the National Palace Garden. Of course, he also has another identity, that is, the son-in-law of the Zhang family.

For some reason, he walked up to the front desk staff that Yang Ming and his two men had just asked about, and asked, "Who were those two people looking for just now?"

"Director Zhao, they are looking for Director Wang of the Film Distribution Department!"

Director Wang? Zhao Ziyang frowned. This guy seems to be in charge of the distribution of imported films.

Then, he sat down in a corner and looked at the elevator entrance on the first floor. An hour later, when he saw Yang Ming and Liu Xinsheng walking out, he immediately called Director Wang: "Old Wang!"

Zhao Ziyang hung up the phone. He really didn't expect that Yang Ming came here to apply for a film screening permit!

He couldn't help but make a phone call to Zhang Ziqing.
Chapter completed!
