Since 1983

When it was summer in the capital, an unremarkable company opened near Jiuxian Bridge.

There were no guests, and firecrackers were not allowed in the urban area, so a few flower baskets were placed with a sign: Huayun Video CD Co., Ltd.

China Film Corporation is an absolute holding company, with legal representative Han Sanping, specializing in the reproduction of laser digital storage discs; research and development, production of CD/CD-R, etc.

At the beginning of the year, the hot pot was launched in Longzhong, and the industrial layout was determined.

China Film Corporation, Beijing Film Studio, Children's Film Studio, China Film Cooperative Production Company, China Film Equipment Corporation, Movie Channel Program Center, Beijing Film Processing and Video Technology Factory, and this newly established company, eight in one, form China Film Group .

"The place is so small, can it accommodate ten people?"

"This is the office, and the processing plant is in the suburbs."

Han Sanping greeted Xu Fei to take a seat, handed him a cigarette, and remembered that the other party didn't smoke, so he put it in his mouth: "China Film Company is still rich and powerful, and it will cost 30 million yuan when it is sold.

This is the most advanced production line of audio-visual products, imported from abroad. But to be honest, domestic piracy is too rampant, which is a big profit, but the genuine version doesn't make much. "

"There is no way. To be an industry, you must do everything, and you must have your own manufacturer."

As Xu Fei said it, he was thinking of cactus.

Hollywood's six-tier network, he can now distribute it in theaters, and is establishing a sales channel for derivative products. The next step is audio and video, but after inquiring about several audio and video distribution companies, it can be tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars.

Damn!

Audio-visual products are really big in North America, with huge profits. Many low-cost movies do not go to theaters, but they are directly released on discs, and they still make money.

"How about the group?"

"We're talking, there are too many people and troubles, and we won't be able to reach a consensus for a while."

Han Sanping has been in a good mood recently, and he has internally appointed the deputy director and vice president of the group to take charge of the production process. When Dou Shoufang went to Hong Kong, he took over, and there were still four people in the hot pot.

"The preparations for "Born Out of the Sky" are going well. That guy Chen Guoxing is interesting. He said that there are foreign satellite surveillance over there, so what should I do if I cause trouble for the government?"

"I can't say for sure. Now that the technology is advanced, so many people gather in Lop Nur. Maybe there is surveillance."

"Born Out" was filmed on location in Lop Nur, costing 15 million, and Mr. Xu paid half of it. The cycle is very long, and it will span to next year. It is said that the filming coincided with the bombing of the Yugoslav embassy by the United States.

Li Xuejian led the soldiers to sing a ramming song, responding to the situation: "Yankes shout so much, bully people so loudly, in order to straighten their backs..."

And Li Xuejian also left a regret:

"When I was not famous, I played Deputy Commander Lin and lost more than 20 catties. Later, I lost more than 20 catties when I was filming "Secretary Jiao". Later, when I became famous, I couldn't think of losing weight when I was filming "Turned Out". ashamed."

Because the conditions were tough at that time, and the general he played had just returned from the Korean War, so he must not be fat.

This matter has been kept in the old man's heart for a lifetime, but now there is Teacher Xu!

The two chatted in the office, Han Sanping kept smoking, and suddenly said: "Recently, "Titanic" is very popular, and the box office is tens of millions. Can you hold it this year?"

"I can't bear it, this piece can't be won by tens of millions."

Xu Fei took a sip of water and said, "It's actually not a big deal. Now that you mention fighting against Hollywood, you're picking me up! How much can I do alone?

Besides, movies, who can guarantee that they will be a hit? My back is heavier than three mountains. "

"The key lies in the industry, I understand, don't we just work hard for it?"

Han Sanping also sighed, and said: "But if you don't produce a New Year's film, this year is really not fun. I know Feng Xiaogang's film, it's okay to watch, it's not popular.

Not to mention Zhang Yimou, a rural drama.

Hey, do you have any plans for next year? "

"What's the matter, what's the matter if it's not?"

"Ask knowingly."

"Have you been thinking about my drama before you took office?"

Xu Fei paused, and said: "I have a few preliminary ideas, one of which has a relatively large investment, Tianxia, ​​China Film Group, and the Forbidden City, let's do it."

"How much will it cost?"

"It will cost tens of millions."

"What are you talking about?"

"Tell a story without a thief."

...

With the merger of Beijing Film Studio into the group, China Film has the production qualification and is no longer a pure distribution unit.

Private enterprises still cannot independently produce films. According to previous regulations, 70% of the investment can be jointly signed with the production unit. So we had to cooperate with the authorities.

A story without thieves, of course, is "A World Without Thieves", which is one of the few commercial films that can be operated at this stage.

What is a blockbuster? Big production, big scene, big star.

"The Wind" has many stars, but the scene is not good. "A World Without Thieves" is similar, but with richer commercial elements and greater box office potential.

In 2004, it won 126 million, ranking third in the year, followed by "Kung Fu" and "House of Flying Daggers", followed by "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King".

Xu Fei raised it up little by little, and taught in person: how do we shoot New Year's films → how to shoot the main theme → how to shoot medium-scale commercial films → until blockbuster films.

Let's talk about the original "A World Without Thieves".

Columbia has investment, and there is a big difference with the director. They think the protagonist should not die, how can the protagonist die?

Feng Pants speaks volumes.

Colombia: You do not understand the market!

Feng Pants: You don't understand censorship!

It is said that the script has been revised repeatedly for half a year, and there is still the last hurdle left: because the male lead is dead, the female lead can no longer die, or even be arrested, otherwise it will become a tragedy.

But how can the heroine live? Feng Pants couldn't think about it, so he went to ask Wang Shuo for help.

Wang Shuo said: Let her get pregnant!

Eh, it's over.

Now that Xu Fei is going to shoot "A World Without Thieves", he will naturally upgrade.

…………

A building in Zhongguancun, Sohu.

Since Sohu embarked on the journey of earning money from American stockholders, it has moved here. The large office and modern facilities finally gave Zhang Hu the feeling of a young rich man.

Otherwise, I always feel that I am a network administrator.

In contrast, the employees sighed and all showed dissatisfaction.

On June 11, the World Cup in France opened, and it was agreed to send someone there. As a result, Zhang Huhu contacted a classmate who happened to be going to watch the World Cup, so he asked the other party to edit and edit on the spot and count the money by word.

Tete girl saves!

Who isn't a football fan these days? Staff chirping, my Batty, my Ronaldo, my Baggio...

The arm couldn't twist the thigh, so I had to continue to work hard as a programmer.

Work is very busy, because the number of Internet users has skyrocketed this year. According to official data released just now, as of June, China's Internet users exceeded the one million mark, reaching 1.06 million.

The number of Internet machines also reached 518,000. Sohu's hits are the same as riding a rocket.

"Mr. Zhang, come and take a look!"

"What's wrong?"

"The number of visits in the last week is not quite right."

Zhang Hu came over to take a look. The first four days grew steadily, but the last three days were like riding a rocket. On Sunday, it reached more than 700,000.

"Did anything happen last week?"

"No, the World Cup topic was only launched today, the virtual community has not been updated, and the chat room and mailbox are also normal."

"What's going on?"

"The exception is here!"

An employee clicked a few times, and said: "The number of visits to BBS has skyrocketed, and they are concentrated in the section of dancing and writing. It is a novel "The First Intimate Contact" we reprinted."

"..."

Everyone stared at the data and looked at each other in blank dismay. How could so many people read a novel circulated on the Internet?

(The author is dying of heat, no more!!!)
