Rebirth: I Want to Surf

February.

After the Spring Festival, everything gets busy again.

This morning, Guo Fan came to the film bureau in the cold spring weather, and communicated with the reception room for a long time before he convinced the other party that he was here for a meeting and got a note to enter the building.

He came here for the first time, looked around curiously, it was an ordinary office building.

But it was this building that controlled the life and death power of millions of film practitioners, and the fluctuations of power invisibly permeated from every corner, which made him unconsciously remain in awe.

"Wait here for a while, the director is in a meeting."

"Oh yes, thank you!"

Guo Fan was led to a reception room, and the desire to complain flashed in his heart: Didn't I just come to the meeting? The chief is really busy.

He stepped forward and entered the room, there were already four people sitting inside.

"Another one!"

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

Seeing him come in, although his face was unfamiliar, they all stood up politely and introduced each other.

Ning Hao, the representative works of "Crazy Stone", "Manslaughter", "Crazy Racing" and "No Man's Land", is the leading director of the new generation in China.

Wu Jing, an action star, only has "Spike Fang" co-directed with others. His motives for mixing here are unknown, and he is suspected of fishing.

Han Yan, a 29-year-old young director, has filmed "To Youth" produced by 99 Entertainment and starring Liu Yifei. His performance is delicate and emotional. Later generations have a masterpiece "Get Out!" Tumor King" "Send You A Little Red Flower".

Wu Ershan, last year's debut work "A Smile at the Sword" was released. During the SARS period in 2003, Yao Yuan found Wu Ershan who was still filming the MV at the time, and made a "Youth". director.

Later generations still have the "Fengshen" trilogy like constipation, which has been suppressed for a year and a year, and finally it will be released soon, but the bad film has a strong temperament.

Then there is Guo Fan. Also last year, his debut work "The Adventures of Li Xianji" was released.

The men's social interaction is very simple, one by one to report their age, Wu Ershan is the oldest, Han Yan is the youngest, and the brotherhood of studying in the United States was formed in an instant!

They have all filmed for 99, and Ning Hao and Wu Jing even signed a contract. The two are relatively familiar, and Ning Hao wondered: "This time, it's a director's exchange and learning. What are you doing for a martial arts film?"

"I wonder too!"

Wu Jing scratched his head, with cleverness in his honesty, and said: "Mr. Yu asked me to go by name. I was thinking about going abroad at public expense. If I don't go abroad, I won't go. Hey, I heard that Xu Zheng is coming, why haven't I seen him?"

"He's busy with "Lost in Thailand" and has to wait until the next batch."

"Is there another batch?" Han Yan asked.

"It is said that a group of directors, screenwriters, producers, and special effects are sent every year. It is a long-term project..."

Ning Hao has the most insider information, and said despondently: "Last year, Mr. Yao and Mr. Yu appeared on a variety show, and they talked about sending people abroad, and they bragged so much about science fiction projects. There are all kinds of stars, seas, mountains and roads. The film bureau is a little bit stuck. Now, this is something the government did, and if you let a private enterprise do it, where should we put our face?"

"Ahem!"

"You don't need to cough, it's the same thing when you cough. I heard that the Film Bureau is in a hurry to discuss with Mr. Yu..."

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Wu Jing almost threw out his lungs, Ning Hao paused first, dazed, hesitant, startled, pondering, and stunned, all in one second, he stood up and turned his head.

Sure enough, a secretary was leaning against the door, as if he had grown old forever.

"The director has finished the meeting, come with me!"

He glared at Ning Hao embarrassingly, led the five winking men out, and turned to an office.

Sitting in the room is a person, Director Tong of the Film Bureau. He was originally a staff member of China Film Group, and he rose up step by step.

"Ning hao!"

"Wu Jing!"

"Han Yan!"

Tong Ju stood up, called out everyone's name accurately, and shook hands with each other. All five of them were flattered.

"Sit down, don't be restrained!"

He greeted everyone to sit down and said with a smile: "I called you here today, it's a pre-departure order. We cooperated with the American Motion Picture Association to organize a 'China-US Film Talent Exchange Activity', and every year we select 5 outstanding film talents from China. Filmmakers go to Hollywood to study.

This year is the first batch, and the partner company is Paramount, and will cooperate with Disney, Universal, etc. in the future.

You are all the most promising new-generation directors in China, and you were carefully selected after various studies for a period of 2 months. When you get there, you must be modest and prudent, neither humble nor overbearing..."

Tong Ju talked nonsense, but the five of them looked like elementary school students, their backs were straight, their heads were upright, their hands were on their knees, and they were extremely focused.

"Okay, prepare well these few days, don't let down the expectations of Chinese movies!"

After waiting for half an hour and chatting for about five minutes, they were sent away.

The five people went downstairs and stood at the gate with blank faces: Why are we here? ?

Just as they were discussing whether to have a lively meal together or go back to their respective homes, Ning Hao suddenly answered the phone, chatted for a while, and said, "Wait, Mr. Yu treats us to dinner!"

"oh!"

A few people stood bitterly on the street in the cold spring, becoming more and more at a loss.

They knew they were going to study in Hollywood, but no one told them what was going on. All parties at the top made a decision and made a decision directly.

"Didi!"

Fortunately, not long after, the car horn sounded, and a Mercedes-Benz Big G stopped. With the window rolled down, Yu Jiajia poked her head out: "Who is driving?"

"I opened!"

Ning Hao and Wu Jing raised their hands.

"You three come up!"

Wu Ershan, Guo Fan, and Han Yan got into the car obediently, and they drove by themselves, and followed them to the Kunlun Hotel in Chaoyang.

The Kunlun Hotel is almost the official team building place of 99 Entertainment. Most of the big and small events are held here. Yu Jiajia, who is familiar with the way, opened a private room, touched the face of the waitress girl, and rubbed a hand...

Several people are seated, and the food and wine are served.

Yu Jiajia, who was at the head of the Golden Sword, asked, "What did I tell you?"

"I didn't say anything, I just warned."

"Let's communicate well!"

"Don't disappoint the expectations of Chinese movies!"

"Ha ha!"

Yu Jiajia was delighted to hear this, and said: "Let me briefly talk about this matter. After Yao Yuan and I made our statement last year, the Film Bureau and China Film Group came to the door and said that we could join forces. They put their name on it and contacted the Film Association of America. We funded it." Sponsorship, bear your basic necessities of life.

When China joined the WTO in 2001, it promised to import 20 blockbuster films every year, with a share of 13%. Later, the mainland market grew rapidly, and Hollywood was jealous. In the past few years, they have been wrangling, demanding an increase in the quota and share of imported films.

Now that we have negotiated, 14 more American blockbusters will be added every year, which will be 34, and the share of accounts will be increased to 25%.

Last year, the domestic box office was 13 billion yuan, and the domestic film was 7 billion yuan, surpassing imported films. This year, there are 34 imported films, all of which are top Hollywood.

Your life will be more difficult, and the industry will have higher requirements for you. Those who make commercial films will have an average box office target of 300 million yuan, and those who make literary films will die... How about it, is there a lot of pressure? "

Hiss!

Yu Jiajia succeeded in selling anxiety, and the five of them suddenly felt bald.

(besides……)
