Chapter 635 Cooperation with CCTV
The next day, Han Jin brought Ji Fanghua and the other two and deployed the next work arrangements to them.
When Han Jin said that the first movie was going to be a war scene, Ji Fanghua and others were stunned. They were authentic Hong Kong people, and basically had never experienced wars. They did not understand the so-called feelings of the destruction of the country, the destruction of the country, the hatred of the country, and the hatred of the country.
"Jin Shao, are we really going to make war movies?" Huang Jiaxi said in embarrassment.
Han Jin nodded, "Nothing is wrong, this is also the instructions of the leader above."
At the banquet, Minister Ai and Minister Zhu both mentioned this matter. In Han Jin's opinion, this matter must be done.
"But we don't know how to make war movies either." Ji Fanghua said in embarrassment.
When Hong Kong directors make war films, they have always been different.
The movie "Shanghai Night" which was also during the War of Resistance Against Japan was made into a love triangle comedy; a "Sword and Ma Dan" during the warlords' melee, I have never seen many national hatreds and family feuds, but the male and female protagonists are all handsome, and there are many scenes of love entanglement and scheming; "Waiting for the Dawn" during the fall of Hong Kong has also been interpreted into a love triangle...
Hong Kong directors like to start from the perspective of small characters, through the experiences of small characters, reflecting the changes of the entire era through the small characters, such as "Shanghai Night", "Sword and Ma Dan", "Huang Feihong", "Song of the Sunset", etc., all of them are all.
The little man has no ability to resist in the face of the rolling giant ship of history. Even if he is as powerful as Huang Feihong, he may be able to avoid bullets, but he can only sigh in vain in the face of vicissitudes of life. It reflects the helplessness and sorrow of the people who have risen to fight against the times under the changes of the times.
Mainland directors like to look at the overall situation and look down on the changes in history from the perspective of God. For example, "The Battle of the South and the North", "The Great Decisive Battle", "Shangganling", etc., and especially like to create heroes and typical characters, giving them the ability to influence the overall situation and change history.
Like Wang Cheng in "Heroic Sons and Daughters", he fought with one soldier and died heroically, but he successfully defended the high ground, repelled the enemy's attack, and achieved the final victory.
In "The Battle of the South and the North", the focus is on the senior officials of the two parties who are commanding the war, and they are the key to determining the direction of the war. As for ordinary soldiers, there is not much focus on the experience of being promoted to the common people.
Even movies such as "Tunnel War", "Mine War", and "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" played a key role. In "Tunnel War", the militia company commander Gao Chuanbao read "On Protracted War" at night, invented tunnel warfare, and smashed the Japanese's sweep; in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", Gazi ignited the bunker at a critical moment, disrupting the enemy's position from the inside, allowing the villagers to enter the city smoothly...
Han Jin also knew this, so when he heard Ji Fanghua say this, he nodded and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. I will discuss this war scene with Minister Ai and invest in filming with CCTV. We will pay for them. You can also follow them and watch them to accumulate experience. By the way, discover talents. Filming in Hong Kong and filming in the mainland are very different. As soon as you start, you will ask you to tinker with big projects, but I am afraid that something will happen if you don't have enough experience."
When Ji Fanghua heard what he said, he nodded.
"By the way, I'm going to build a film and television base in the Yimeng Mountains." Han Jin said again, "This is a big deal. You can go back and visit it on the spot. See how it should be built."
"Are you building a film and television base in the mainland?" Ji Fanghua said in surprise.
"Where is the Yimeng Mountains?" Li Xiaolin asked curiously.
"The Yimeng Mountains are in Shandong." Han Jin said, "The scale of Shaw Cinema in Hong Kong is still too small, and it is impossible to shoot movies with larger scenes. But if you want to build a cinema in Hong Kong, the cost of land alone will be ridiculously high, and there may not be such a big place. Since that's the case, it's better to build a cinema in the mainland. The land here is very cheap, and the market in the mainland is much larger than that in Hong Kong."
Huang Jiaxi and Ji Fanghua both nodded. They were both from Shaw Brothers. They knew that although Shaw Brothers Cinema was known as the number one cinema in Asia, there were too many films filming in it, which made people feel a little aesthetically exhausted.
When a senior movie fans saw the set, they could even say that it had appeared in a movie. Because of this, Shaw Brothers movies were criticized, which made fans feel deceived. Therefore, this way of shooting scenes in the cinema was quickly abandoned by Hong Kong directors. In order to pursue a more realistic feeling, they turned to the suburbs, urban areas and even overseas.
Of course, this does not mean that Shaw Brothers Cinema is abolished. In fact, there are still crews filming here every day in this cinema. Filming in a cinema is unrestricted, and the prices are low, complete props and considerate services, which are not achieved by real-life shooting.
Some TV series and low-cost movies still like to shoot in cinemas. For example, costume films, Republic of China films, science fiction films, etc., can only be filmed in cinemas. Therefore, cinemas cannot be replaced, but on the contrary still play a great role.
"Jin Shao, how big are we planning to build this film and television city?" Ji Fanghua asked curiously again.
"Well, the overall plan is at least 30 million square feet." Han Jin thought for a while, and he remembered that Hengdian Film and Television City covers an area of more than 4,000 acres.
"..." Ji Fanghua, Huang Jiaxi and Li Xiaolin were all scared.
Shaw Cinema is known as the largest cinema in Asia, covering a total area of only 520,000 square feet and a total building area of only 1.1 million square feet.
This film and television city is thirty times bigger than Shaw Brothers Cinema, which is incredible to think about.
"Jin Shao, do we really want to build such a big cinema?" Ji Fanghua asked tremblingly, biting her fingers.
"This is just a long-term goal, and of course the short-term goal is not that big." Han Jin waved his hand and said, "But I hope you can plan ahead and find a piece of land that is so big first, so as not to find no land when developing in the future."
"Yes." Ji Fanghua nodded quickly.
...
Han Jin then took them to CCTV again and met several leaders there.
In the future, Kunpeng Film and Television Company will be officially opened, and it is inevitable that it will have to deal with CCTV.
Now take them over to recognize the door first, and in the future, they will have to walk around by themselves.
"Mr. Han, congratulations. I heard that the new company has been registered. When will it be opened? Give me a letter and I will definitely support you." Master Wang said with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you." Han Jin smiled, "It's about to open, but now the company is just two or three big cats and kittens, and it's lacking talents. Leader, please see if you want to sponsor a few?" After introducing Ji Fanghua and others, Han Jin joked.
Master Wang also laughed, "You, have you dug into our platform? In the past, you were digging for socialist corners."
Han Jin also smiled, "Who asked your leader to do your best to regulate you? Your subordinates are all elite soldiers and generals. I won't dig from you, where do I dig from?"
Master Wang laughed when he heard that. "I dare not make the decision to give it to you by myself, but I know some good people. I will go back and introduce you to you."
"Thank you for your support," Han Jin nodded, "By the way, in addition to visiting each other this time, there is something else to discuss with you with your leader."
"I knew you would not enter the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble." Master Wang smiled.
"Well, that's right. Yesterday I had a meal with Minister Zhu of the Central Committee of the Chinese New Year and Minister Ai of the Radio and Television Department. They heard that I wanted to invest in filming. So they suggested that I make a war scene." Han Jin said, "But you also know that our Hong Kong directors don't have the ability to make this martial arts films. Making war films is just a matter of rushing to put them on the shelves, so I want to ask the station to support it."
Master Wang couldn't help but smile when he heard what he said. "How can I support Fa'er?"
"Well, in this way, we pay for the money and the stage will produce people. Directors, actors, props, photography, etc. will all be paid by the stage. We are responsible for investing in the shooting. After the filming, the copyright will be 19 cents, and the income from selling films will be distributed according to this share." Han Jin thought for a moment.
"We account for 90%?" Master Wang said with a smile.
"..." Han Jin looked at him depressedly, "Master, you only pay for the people. We also have to pay for the salary. The 10% income is no longer small."
Master Wang smiled, "One achievement is 10%, but we can play this TV series for free when we look back at CCTV."
"Well, I can only play it for free once, and I have to pay again in the future." Han Jin thought for a while.
If it was like "Journey to the West" and had to be broadcast every summer vacation, then his losses would be huge.
"It's too little if you can only broadcast it for free once. Comrade Xiao Han, you have to understand the difficulties in the station." Master Wang said, "Let's do it, play it for free for two years."
"Uh... a year, no more." Han Jin said.
"Where is one and a half years?" Master Wang thought about it again.
Han Jin was completely convinced, "I said, leader, why are you not arrogant at all?"
"A good woman is hard to cook without rice. I want to be generous, but looking at the funds in Taiwan, how can I be generous?" Master Wang explained.
Han Jin nodded, knowing that CCTV's main income is still fiscal appropriations, and advertising revenue now accounts for only a small part. It was not until the 1990s that advertising revenue began to surge rapidly, from less than 270s in 1991 to 4.5 billion in 1997.
"Okay, one and a half years are just one and a half years." Han Jin nodded.
Master Wang was then happy.
CCTV's filming volume is now seriously insufficient every year, which is far from meeting the needs of the audience. However, the station really has no money to film, so it is also very aggrieved that Director Wang, who is the director, is also very wronged.
If they cooperate with Han Jin now, they pay money and people from the stage, and the films they shoot can be played for free for a period of time, it will not only revitalize the human resources in the stage, solve the problem of idleness of employees, but also solve the problem of shortage of film sources. This is really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
"Since that's the case, then let's just say that." Han Jin nodded and said.
Master Wang also nodded with a smile.
...
After reaching a cooperation intention with CCTV, Han Jin came to the Radio and Television Department with four copies of the movies, hoping to let them see if these movies can pass the censorship and be released in China.
"Hello, Minister Ai, we're meeting again." Han Jin said with a smile.
"Are these the four movies you brought?" Minister Ai asked with a smile when he saw a pile of movie copies piled up under Han Jin's feet.
Han Jin nodded, "These are all movies produced by our company. I think the quality is pretty good. I'll take them over and let the department review them. If it can be screened, it would be great."
"Okay, the movies produced in Hong Kong are indeed much more advanced than those produced in our mainland." Minister Ai nodded with a smile, "But there are not many prohibited things in it, right?"
Han Jin smiled. Hearing what Minister Ai said, he knew that his standards were quite broad. As long as there were not many prohibited things, they should be able to pass the review.
"Don't worry, Minister Ai, I know that the movie I chose is more suitable." Han Jin said, "You can let the comrades take a look first. If it doesn't work, I'll modify it."
Minister Ai nodded and then informed the person to take the copy and go for review.
"If we can pass the review smoothly, I will sell your movies for you." Minister Ai smiled, "Now these domestic cinemas are waiting for the release of good movies."
"Then I will thank the minister." Han Jin said with a smile. The radio and television department helped him sell movies. It seems that it is difficult for him to make money. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
