Heads Up Hollywood
Chapter 857 National Hero
"Twain, stop being so secretive. Everyone is waiting for an explanation. What is your real purpose when you go to Korea?"
"Of course less..."
Tang En just spent all his time admiring the old faces of Lei Shidong and Ted Turner sitting opposite him, as black as the bottom of a pot, not to mention how happy he was.
They worked hard, planned secretly, used all resources to contact more forces, and only then did they come up with such a big battle.
In the end, it was easily resolved by Tang En.
This feeling, not to mention how cool it is!
So much so that when Jack Valenti asked, Tang En almost told the truth... The real purpose, of course, was Girls' Generation! The idol group with big white legs!
In the previous life, he could only dream about things with red eyes in front of the computer screen. In this life, he has the strength, so he will naturally realize his fantasies one by one.
"The real purpose is to push the South Korean government to implement to's free trade agreement, and change the mandatory restriction of 147 days to 73 days to show local movies in cinemas."
Tang En's remarks caused the atmosphere in the meeting room to suddenly inflate.
The effect received was far more exaggerated than Tang En imagined.
Especially the leaders of MPAA all looked horrified, as if they had seen a ghost.
The old man Jack Valenti, who couldn't even stand still, suddenly stood up like a spring, his white eyebrows were trembling slightly, and he asked in disbelief: "Twain, you...are you kidding me?" ? Change 147 days to 73 days?"
Tang En smiled and said calmly: "There are so many seniors in the industry here, I dare not speak nonsense."
"Is this true?" Jack Valentine's voice trembled.
Tang En raised his head proudly, "Of course!"
"They agree?"
"I had several good exchanges with Chairman Wu of the Korean Film Council. He expressed his willingness to promote the implementation of the trade agreement. The deep integration of the special effects industry and Hollywood is a good thing that complements each other. Naturally, they don't need to be defensive. Guard against Hollywood like an enemy."
Jack Valentine's head was dizzy, and he was so shocked that he almost couldn't breathe.
This...how is this possible?
Shocking!
When South Korea joined TO ten years ago, it signed a free trade agreement, which stipulated that the 147 days should be changed to 73 days. However, after South Korea joined to, due to various reasons, this clause has not been implemented for a long time.
In the past ten years, this is almost the biggest heart disease of Jack Valenti!
He is trying his best to promote this matter, but the effect is mediocre.
In the early days, it was the Asian financial crisis. President Clinton expressed his willingness to make concessions and help South Korea tide over the difficulties, and would not impose demands.
Later, the Bush administration came to power, but the "9.11" terrorist attack occurred, followed by the second Gulf War.
In order to win over South Korea's support, President Bush has to make some concessions.
Even ten years after the trade agreement was signed, South Korea still failed to implement it!
This has caused Hollywood to suffer a huge loss of interests. As the chairman of MPAA, Jack Valenti has also endured tremendous pressure from members.
This matter is very difficult!
However, he never expected that Tang En went to Korea and then... settled this matter?
How can it be?
In the past ten years, he has personally traveled to South Korea dozens of times, but failed to settle the matter.
Especially the Film Promotion Committee, with an extremely tough attitude!
There is no room for negotiation at all.
Tang En, he really did it?
Jack Valenti sat down unsteadily, his face turned pale, the shock that Tang En's words brought to him just now almost gave him a heart attack.
After waiting for a while, he suppressed the shock in his heart, and asked again in a voiceless voice: "Tang En, this matter is of great importance. Even if it is submitted to the White House, it is a major event that can shake the national policy! Don't be careless! Tang En, this matter Did you really do it?"
Tang En was a little confused.
Shake the national policy?
Is it that exaggerated?
He just promoted the reform of Korean film policy, which conformed to the general trend of history.
It's just a matter of going with the flow.
Can it rise to the height of the White House's national policy?
No way?
Jack Valenti simply explained, "TO's free trade agreement... There are too many countries that have violated the contract. In many cases, the White House is also very difficult to deal with. Even our friendly countries are violating the agreement, such as South Korea. If South Korea can be used as an example to open a hole, and then comprehensively promote the review and supervision of free trade agreements by the United Nations, the impact on the world structure and economic environment will be far from being as simple as the film market."
Tang En suddenly realized.
How dare he become a national hero because he is confused?
When this is done, maybe President Bush Jr. will give him a medal.
It was really unexpected.
Tang En coughed lightly, and said seriously: "There should be no problem. South Korea is currently fully promoting the special effects industry. As long as Hollywood condescends to cooperate, the Film Promotion Committee will fully promote the reform of Korean film policies. Of course, Committee Member Wu and I At present, it is only a verbal agreement, and the specific negotiation still needs MPAA to negotiate on behalf of Hollywood."
Jack Valenti took a deep breath, panicked in his heart, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock, "Good! Good! Good! If this is done, Dunn, you will be a hero in Hollywood , no, a national hero!"
Many countries have film protection policies, even the core countries of the European Union such as Germany and France.
In fact, from the perspective of Hollywood's interests, the revision of Korean film policy from 147 days to 73 days will not increase Hollywood's box office revenue too much.
Every year ... that's around $300-400 million.
However, looking at the world, this volume is large.
South Korea needs to revise, and other countries have to revise one after another!
Not to mention Germany, France and other EU countries, even Russia is liberalizing its policy, and even mainland China has revised its film rules...
Today's Hollywood movies can only get 15% of the box office share in mainland China, and the money has not been collected for a long time. Because foreign exchange is involved, China Film Group, the only foreign film distributor, will always find various excuses to withhold the accounts.
Later, when the United States opened up a gap through the South Korean film market, it began to promote free trade agreements on a global scale.
Although China is still stubbornly resisting Hollywood movies, it has also made great concessions, allowing more Hollywood movies to enter the mainland market every year, and increasing the box office share to 25%. (Note)
Tang En's ambitions are great, but they only lie in satisfying his personal desires.
Regarding the international situation, he never thought of making the slightest change.
His greatest secret is foresight.
If the international situation is changed, what's the use of his foresight?
How to plan for the best interests?
Therefore, when Tang En made many major decisions, he followed the general trend of history.
Otherwise, with his negotiating ability, how could he easily settle the Korean Film Council?
They are not stupid!
It's just a concubine's love, it's just an instant hit!
Unexpectedly, for the sake of the Hollywood film industry, Tang En's move to take advantage of the trend turned out to be a stone throwing stone for planning the national policy of the United States...
Happiness came so suddenly that Tang En was a little overwhelmed.
I secretly smiled bitterly in my heart: "I just want to be a low-key film director who can make money. I really never thought about becoming the founder of the international pattern...I am not a politician, I am a businessman! Invincible...too lonely!"
...
In this MPAA meeting, Twain is the protagonist.
In fact, Tang En is indeed the protagonist!
However, the way he becomes the main character is a little different.
Originally, according to some people's assumptions, Tang En would become the target of public criticism, be severely criticized by many industry leaders, become the target of verbal criticism, and be sanctioned by everyone.
In order to relieve the pressure and resolve the conflict, Tang En had to make concessions and share a large part of the benefits with everyone.
This matter is fully resolved.
But I didn't expect... The development of things was completely different from what I imagined.
Dunn didn't explain too much about Harvey Weinstein at all. All his speeches at the meeting were focused on discussing South Korea.
From the Korean tourism industry, to the Korean special effects industry, to the policy reform of the Korean film industry...
The tourism industry can make a little money and has a slight investment prospect;
The special effects industry can help Hollywood solve the huge financial pressure and find a way out for those special effects companies that cannot survive;
The policy reform of the film industry... the influence is so great that it can rise to the height of the White House's national policy!
Jack Valenti's words were not false.
If this matter is really done by a businessman named Tang En, he can really become a national hero!
Once the to free trade agreement has a breakthrough in enforcement on a global scale, it will greatly promote the development of the US economy, thereby driving countless jobs.
Great work!
The pattern is far beyond Hollywood.
In comparison, Harvey Weinstein's little bullshit is not worth mentioning at all.
At the end of the meeting, even Redstone and Ted Turner were embarrassed to mention Harvey Weinstein, but discussed the globalization of the entertainment industry with everyone in a serious manner.
A criticism session against Tang En has truly turned into an industry seminar.
The aggression at the beginning of the meeting also disappeared into the invisible.
With a smile on his face, Tang En quietly listened to everyone's enthusiastic discussion.
The eyes looked at Lei Shidong intentionally or unintentionally.
Lei Shidong felt hairy when he saw it.
Not to mention Redstone, even Michael Eisner was a little terrified.
This kid, isn't he planning something bad again, thinking about revenge?
(Note: I see that some friends have discussed the issue of box office accounting, let me tell you. The standard accounting for domestic producers is 35%. However, producers usually have to return 2 points to theaters, and the average accounting income is 33%. This It is a domestic characteristic, not an international market situation.)
