Chapter 337 Cooperation.Imperial use.Country name.

Any country has the need to promote itself, and Huaxia is no exception.However, compared with the parallel planes, the Huaxia Kingdom of Water Blue Star is more concealed and brief.The Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance all have special film support funds, as long as they meet the needs of publicity, they can apply for support from these funds; at the same time, the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Education also have The military or public schools under their jurisdiction can be arranged to help with the filming work.In addition, the Liaison Office of the Presidential Office will also prepare and shoot some so-called political propaganda films in the name of the "National Film Corporation", and these films are called "National Brand" films in the circle.Although the budget of the films here is quite high, and the cooperation of relevant departments is also high, many directors and producers are reluctant to touch such films.The reason is nothing more than the fact that the National Film Company has the right to review scripts, casting roles and final editing, and the director is just a tool for filming. This makes many directors find it difficult to accept.Because the directors declined one after another, the National Film Company simply approached the Film Association directly and asked the Film Association to arrange a director and crew.

The Film Association was originally unwilling to accept this pot, but thinking of the Codex Executive Board back then, the Film Association had to compromise.The disorderly development of films in the earliest Huaxia Kingdom led to public protests, so Congress enacted the "Movie Code of Ethics", and the cabinet established a code enforcement bureau under the authority of this code to censor films.In those days, link kiss scenes were considered "obscene" and had to be edited.It was not easy for relevant people in the film industry and major labor unions to jointly form the Film Association. Under the protests and struggles of the Film Association, the "Film Code of Ethics" and the Code Executive Board were abolished, and film censorship became an industry within the Film Association. self-discipline.

Although the government has never enacted relevant laws and regulations, the Film Association does not dare to relax. If the government catches the pain again one day, it is estimated that the film industry will cry to death.Therefore, when the liaison office seeks cooperation from the Film Association through the National Film Company, the Film Association can only try to arrange help.Super-first-tier and first-tier directors naturally cannot be easily harassed, so second-tier directors have become the first targets of the Film Association.Directors like Li Wei who can win awards and make money are naturally on the list of the Liaison Office, and are naturally the directors that the Film Association gives priority to.

Li Wei naturally frowned when he heard the news. The biggest opportunity in the literary and art circles is to get too involved with politicians. Therefore, the annual filming plans of the National Film Corporation are the existences that big directors can't avoid. .Only when it is really unavoidable, will I make do with it, and then put a pseudonym in the director item of the production list.Although the national film company knows that these directors will use fake names, they generally let it go for the sake of the quality of the film.

Li Wei thought, if there is really no way to avoid it, then just follow the example of Director Zhang Mouyi and the others, and just use a pseudonym.Thinking of this, Li Wei asked his secretary to reply to the Film Association, and the two parties agreed to meet again at a certain time to discuss the film schedule.Because the headquarters of the Film Association is in Yanjing, Li Wei estimated that it would take several days to discuss the matter there, so he temporarily postponed the plan of Li Wei's studio restructuring for a few days.After handing over the daily management work to He Zhao, Li Wei flew to Yanjing in his own private business jet.

The office of the Film Association is in the old city of Yanjing. The old city of Yanjing in this plane has not been destroyed much, because a new city was opened next to Yanjing when the country was founded, and the old city is protected as a cultural heritage as a whole. down.Although all properties in the old city nominally belong to the state and are managed by the "National Natural Heritage and Cultural Heritage Protection Foundation", some well-qualified associations can still persuade the foundation to rent them in the name of "cultural tenants" Premises in the old town serve as office spaces.It's just that these buildings cannot be greatly altered, and every repair or reconstruction needs to be audited and supervised by the Foundation, and the rent is not that cheap.Fortunately, the film industry is thriving in Huaxia, and the Film Association is not short of money, so it can have its own office in the old city.

Li Wei did not pretentiously take a group of people to the headquarters of the association, but asked for a car from the Yanjing branch and drove there by himself.Although Li Wei has not lived in Yanjing for a few days, he has navigation software.By the way, the Polaris night sweat software with the highest market share in China is the product of Kylin Software Technology Development Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Kylin Interactive Group.

According to the instructions of the navigation software, Li Wei drove from the urban area to the fifth ring road, and then went east along the fifth ring road to the old city area.There is a big difference in the feeling from the new urban area to the old urban area, especially when driving.It's as if driving in a modern metropolis means traveling to a historical scene forbidden by time.Moreover, the special protection of the old city has kept it away from all the hustle and bustle of industrialization. Coupled with the possible restoration and greening in the later stage, it has become a super large park.

However, before Li Wei had time to appreciate the beautiful scenery, he was reminded that he had arrived at the headquarters of the Film Association.The headquarters of the Film Association is located in the outer city of the old city. Cars are allowed here, but only battery cars can be used in the inner city, while only bicycles are allowed in the imperial city. City, where you can only walk by yourself.

Li Wei has visited Miyagi, and the foundation has already wished to protect the entire Miyagi with a glass cover, which has constant temperature and humidity and no oxygen; all those who go to visit are better to wear space suits and walk in to see it, don't use any modern atmosphere To "sullimate" those artistic treasures.

The headquarters of the Film Association is the house of a wealthy businessman. After obtaining the permission of the foundation, the association renovated the place and added a lot of modern facilities.Of course, these modern facilities must use the retro architectural style.After Li Wei explained his purpose in the guard room, a secretary-like person came out and brought Li Wei to the reception room not long after.

Li Wei sat in the reception room for a while, took a sip of green tea and put it down.It's autumn and winter now, and green tea, a cold beverage, is naturally not sensitive.Fortunately, the people from the association didn't keep Li Wei waiting for long, and a vice president walked in with a few people.The vice president gave a brief introduction. They are members of the National Film Company and the Liaison Office of the President's Office.

After the vice president led everyone to exchange pleasantries for a while, he said to Li Wei: "Director Li, I think you should know the purpose of our invitation to you this time, right? The government has plans and funds for filming every year. And what we hope is that these films are not those political propaganda films in the general impression, but real films; at the same time, we hope that these films can establish a good image of our government and at the same time advocate social morality and good order. We have several scripts here , you might as well read the outline first."

After finishing speaking, the vice president asked an assistant staff member in the liaison office to hand over a few thin typescripts.

Li Wei took the printed draft and quickly read it.I have to say that the prototypes of the stories are all good, but these scripts are a mess.Genre films have developed to the present and have a fixed script format, but the teachers in the film majors of major film schools or art schools insist on dealing with this kind of "stereotyped" and "lack of creativity" "commercial stuff" Against.Therefore, many screenwriting graduates often have to hone in major film companies for four or five years before they have the opportunity to become real "signed screenwriters", and the so-called hone is to thoroughly hone their professional screenwriting style. Gone.

The outline of the script in Li Wei's hands now seems to be the work of a screenwriting graduate, and he still uses a very old-fashioned "symphonic" screenwriting method.Symphonic screenwriting is of course an excellent way of writing scripts. Director Coppola on the earth plane used this to shoot the most magnificent "Apocalypse Now" in movie history.But the problem is that this kind of script requires an experienced director who is good at breaking through to control it, and more importantly, the chance of success is too low.

"The script is not good! You must follow the standard production process of modern film companies!" Li Wei threw the script back, "This kind of script is definitely a bargain!"

"This is art! Movies are art, do you understand?" A young man wearing glasses retorted immediately, his face that was originally full of pimples was extremely red, and the pimples seemed like volcanoes about to erupt. The greasy red skin glowed with a white light that made Li Wei's heart tremble with fear. "Look at the things you made, it's a waste of movies! This is a movie produced by the National Film Company, and it must represent the highest peak of our country's movie art! If you don't know movies, we can teach you!"

"Okay, since you don't like me, then I won't take pictures." Li Wei stood up, straightened his clothes, and planned to leave.

Li Wei sneered in his heart, really thought he was willing to take over the shooting of such a movie.The passing standard for a director is to be able to read the script and know whether the script will hit the street or not.And Li Wei is not only a good director, but also a good screenwriter.The important thing is that Li Wei can not only create literary scripts, but also create lens scripts, so Li Wei's understanding of scripts is better than other directors.

Seeing that Li Wei was about to walk away, the vice president hurried out to smooth things over.

"Director Li, don't be angry, let's sit down and talk again! —— Zhang Ying, if you can't speak, don't talk! Director Li doesn't understand movies? Tell me, how many movies have you made? How much is the box office? Take How many trophies did you win?" The vice president taunted the young man.

Although the Film Association has to cooperate with the Liaison Office in many cases, it does not mean that the Film Association is a subordinate unit of the Liaison Office.The vice president is not helping Li Wei to speak at this time, who knows if Li Wei will join others to vote against him next time when voting.The management mechanism of the Film Association is that all members vote to elect the board of directors, and then the board of directors appoints the president, vice president and other heads of affairs departments.The council has always been dominated by the Directors Association and the Screenwriters Association, and Li Wei happens to be the vice chairman of the Executive Committee of the Directors Association and the vice chairman of the Screenwriters Association. Can't bear it.

"Director Li, how about this, you can take the outline of the script back and pick it out, and if you have a favorite story, we will decide to vote. The final script is up to you, how about it?" The big power just throws away one, and with the casting rights and the final editing rights in hand anyway, Li Wei can't make waves anymore.It's not that the vice president doesn't believe Li Wei, but that he knows that these directors have a very bad impression of this kind of film.In case someone really messes up and shoots, and then names the director randomly, who will the National Film Company ask to cry?

Hearing what the vice president said, Li Wei sneered, and then sat back down.

You can go and have a look when you have time.If you happen to be a member of Not Old Songs, please leave a comment on the blog and add each other as friends.

In fact, I also have an independent self-built blog at the American space company, but due to some well-known reasons, this blog is either not accessible or simply banned in some parts of the country, so I want to open a domestic blog.

In addition to the unsatisfactory space speed in foreign countries, the main reason is that I suddenly have no desire to talk on Weibo, and I think it is better to write some words with precipitation and thinking on the blog.

Fighting for the fourth update today is mainly because I owe too much to the list, and if I don't make up for it, I will enter the small black room for the third time.

If you enter the small black room again, you will be dark forever.
