In 1995, if I had an interview on the streets of Beijing and asked the pedestrians on the road who were James Cameron and Schwarzenegger, most people would shake their heads in a daze. Who knows what these two foreigners do?

At this time, there was neither the Internet nor the overwhelming publicity.

Only a few enthusiasts who pay attention to Hollywood movies, as well as those who have watched American movies through magazines and videotapes, have an impression of these two people, knowing that they are big Hollywood directors and big stars.

This situation will change soon, because the second Hollywood blockbuster, "The True Lies", is about to be released in the country.

The ticket price in Beijing is set at 20 yuan.

Lin Zixuan asked someone to get a movie ticket and would take Mu Shanshan to the theater to watch Hollywood action blockbusters.

This time, the domestic film industry's boycott was still strong, but Huaying Company made up its mind that the film must be released nationwide and no one could stop it.

In the face of huge interests, they will no longer give in.

Taking "The True Lies" as an example, according to the share agreement reached by Huaying Company and Hollywood Film Company, if the box office of this movie in China is 100 million, then Hollywood Film Company can take away 17 million, which means 17% of it.

Huaying Company received 29 million, provincial and municipal film companies received 10 million, and the remaining 44 million belonged to the theater.

Huaying Company and provincial and municipal film companies are both supervisory units and are responsible for coordinating work. The theater is the ultimate unit to work.

The theater has to pay rent, pay business tax, pay special film funds, as well as water, electricity, property, labor, etc. The net profit actually gets less than 8 million.

This 8 million is shared among the major theaters across the country, and each theater actually doesn’t get much.

This is the detailed list of the box office sharing of a Hollywood blockbuster, which shows that Huaying Company has obtained the largest share.

Of course, Huaying Company is responsible for many tasks, such as subsidizing theaters that lose money in the screening of domestic films, providing fund subsidies for major national film themes, organizing various voluntary film screening activities in rural areas, etc.

All of these require funds. Introducing Hollywood blockbusters is a piece of fat, and they cannot give up.

Lin Zixuan will not foolishly participate in the game between state-owned studios and Huaying Company. Private film and television companies are too small to withstand the toss and troubles.

No matter which party you offend, your life will not be easy.

However, if the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, it is difficult to avoid these right and wrong in making life in this circle.

In the past, Good Dream Company was not valued, but now "Party A and Party B" are selling well at the box office. Lin Zixuan is also well-known in the movie circle, so someone came to ask for his opinion.

I want him to rush to the front and boycott Hollywood blockbusters.

"Do they think I'm that stupid?" Lin Zixuan said angrily, "This is obviously the meaning of the General Administration. Huaying Company is just implementing the above documents. There are too many interests involved. I want me to be the first to be a leader. I really don't know what these people think."

After sending away a group of seniors in the film industry, Lin Zixuan complained.

"Maybe you are too young, they think you are prone to impulsiveness." Mu Shanshan said with a smile, "I heard them say it is quite intense, as if there is no way to live. Hollywood blockbusters really have such a big impact on domestic movies?"

After all, Mu Shanshan is not a person in the movie circle. She can’t see it clearly when watching the fire from the other side of the river.

"It has a great impact on state-owned studios, and it may be beneficial to private film and television companies." Lin Zixuan replied.

The state-owned studio system is outdated, inadequate investment, backward technology, lack of funds, and a decline in production. Hollywood blockbusters have had a strong impact on state-owned studios. If there is no reform, it will probably only go bankrupt.

But reform is not easy, and reform of state-owned enterprises has always been a difficult problem.

The first thing they need to do is to put down their airs, introduce funds from society, adjust their creative ideas, and shoot a group of videos that are popular among the people, so that they can be competitive.

For private film and television companies, there is no burden and they can deal with it flexibly.

Hollywood blockbusters have stimulated the domestic film market, and have given domestic audiences interest in going to cinemas to watch movies. The number of viewers has gradually increased, which has cultivated the market.

The theaters are profitable to see Hollywood blockbusters screenings. In order to screen as many Hollywood blockbusters as possible, they will transform cinemas and even build new cinemas.

Furthermore, seeing Hollywood blockbusters will bring touch to domestic filmmakers and are of reference value.

These are all aspects that bring benefits to the domestic film industry, and they do not just have disadvantages.

As long as the movies Lin Zixuan and the others are sincere, interesting, and not shoddy, they can attract audiences and get high box office.

"Then what are you going to do?" Mu Shanshan said worriedly.

This group of people came to Lin Zixuan to write a letter to the General Administration, and on the grounds that Hollywood blockbusters have had an impact on the attendance of domestic feature films, they believed that this would bring a catastrophe to national films in the long run.

They also attacked Huaying Company's general manager and businessmen with a strong habit, only paying attention to interests, regardless of the future of domestic films.

Even the General Administration's policies are problematic, questioning the direction of domestic film reform.

How could Lin Zixuan follow them? This is not a joke. There is no way, he can only offend these people.

"This is the general trend and cannot be stopped." Lin Zixuan shook his head and said.

These people may be considering domestic movies or their own interests, but introducing Hollywood blockbusters is not something they can boycott just by wanting to. This is the general trend.

China is about to join the World Trade Organization. As an open market, it is difficult to refuse movies from other countries.

This is a matter of time sooner or later. In this context, if you cannot face it positively, then there will be no hope for domestic movies.

No matter how the outside world argues, Haomeng Company is preparing for the second movie in an orderly manner.

This time, the crew was mainly from the art center. This group of people once followed Lin Zixuan to the United States to shoot "The People in Beijing in New York". They had the experience of filming abroad and would not be in a hurry.

At the same time, he hired well-known people in the industry in key positions, such as photographers and props.

With such a huge investment in "Seeking Away", we must strive for excellence and ensure that the films produced by the company are sincere and do not fool the audience, so that the audience will buy it.

They chose the shooting location in Los Angeles, which is the center of American films compared to New York.

New York is rich in art films, commercial films made in Los Angeles, and filming in Los Angeles is quite convenient whether it is renting equipment or looking for locations and extras.

Hollywood blockbusters are entering the country, but they are heading towards Hollywood. (To be continued.)
