Chapter 600 Inheritance
The documents of the General Administration have caused great responses in the film industry.
This is the biggest step taken by the domestic film industry reform. Although the market control has not been completely relaxed, it has been loosened for private film and television companies.
The General Administration started researching six months ago and listened to the opinions of experts and entrepreneurs in the industry.
When asked, Lin Zixuan put forward two points: one is that private film and television companies must have the right to issue, and the second is to participate in the management and operation of theaters.
This is the key to whether private film and television companies can obtain development opportunities.
In the past, private enterprises could only make movies, but after the production was completed, they were handed over to Huaying Group. How to arrange the distribution and release of the films was not dominated by the way, it depends on the expression of others.
With the right to issue, Lin Zixuan can bypass Huaying Group and negotiate directly with theaters.
With theaters, Haomeng Company has achieved a one-stop production, distribution and release, and is qualified to compete directly with Huaying Group, otherwise it will be difficult to grow and grow.
This document has given impetus to many private film and television companies.
The General Administration will approve a group of capable and reputable private film and television companies to obtain the right to distribute the movie. Haomeng Company is on the first list and will be approved by the end of the year.
In addition, film distribution and screening companies with conditions are encouraged to carry out theater construction and technological transformation.
For the General Administration, this decentralization of power is a helpless move.
After China joined the WTO, it opened to the global market. Foreign capital poured into China and could not stop it. The marketization of the film industry has become an inevitable major trend.
In the document, the General Administration mentioned that it is allowed to introduce foreign capital to transform film infrastructure and technical equipment.
Foreign capital is allowed to rebuild cinemas through joint ventures and cooperation, but all theaters must be controlled and operated by the Chinese side.
Even foreign capital is allowed to participate in theater construction, can we still not delegate power to our own people?
After all, it is marketization that gave birth to this reform of the film industry and gave private film and television companies the opportunity.
The document has also made adjustments to many policies, such as supporting film production companies to jointly organize programs and columns with TV stations in provinces and capital cities.
Just like "Voice of China", it has accelerated the resource integration of the film and television industry.
There are also adjustments to the film supply policy, and the distribution of domestic films is encouraged, and it is stipulated that the screening units should not be less than two-thirds of the total annual screening time.
During major political activities and major holidays, excellent domestic films will be released and screened nationwide.
This is a protective measure for domestic films so as not to have no power to fight back against Hollywood blockbusters.
In general, this document brings vitality and vitality to domestic films, allowing everyone to no longer be as hindered as before, but to move forward with great strides.
Chen Changle from Huacheng called Lin Zixuan to increase investment in theaters.
He took out 10 million to invest in Haomeng Cinema, responsible for the establishment of cinemas in Guangdong Province, and was preparing to do a big shot.
This is the influence of national policies on industries. After the policy was introduced, some people are still waiting and some people are eager to take action.
Not only people inside the circle, but also capital tycoons from outside the circle.
In the past, many large domestic companies had some involvement in the film and television industry, but their investment directions were limited, that is, production of film and television dramas or building film and television cities.
For them, this kind of investment is not very meaningful.
With the existence of Huaying Group, they cannot control the entire film industry and can only make small fuss.
It’s different now. Capital tycoons can interfere in the construction of theaters, and their interest in the film industry has increased greatly. This is an emerging market with great development potential.
However, they don’t know much about this circle and have to spend time looking for agents, or directly acquire and invest in private film and television companies to save time.
Lin Zixuan has a deep feeling about this.
These days he has received calls from many big companies' bosses asking him about new trends in the film industry, and some even asked him directly whether Hello Dream Company needs financing.
Those who can be bosses are smart people, with keen insight into the market, pay attention to the country's policy direction at any time, and judge the investment direction.
Lin Zixuan knew in his heart that the rules of the game in this circle were about to change, and capital would gradually become the dominant one.
If capital entered the entertainment industry in 1993 just a test, then this time it was really here.
From the perspective of the entire film industry, this is a good thing.
With the injection of capital, in film investment and theater construction, the domestic film industry will be rapidly upgraded and updated to realize the industrialization of the film industry.
For example, it was hard to imagine that a domestic film invested 100 million yuan in the past. After the capital came in, 100 million yuan may be just the minimum standard for large-scale films.
I feel embarrassed to say that I am shooting a blockbuster if I don’t invest 100 million.
With the intervention of capital, luxury cinemas will be built in the country like mushrooms after a rain.
At the same time, capital will also disrupt the normal order of the film and television industry. Capital is profit-seeking and investment is for making money, not for the artistic nature of the film.
On the one hand, commercial films will gain development opportunities, while on the other hand, the living space of art films will be squeezed out.
Under the impact of capital, the domestic film industry is likely to enter an era of bad movies.
Lin Zixuan does not have the ability to change this general trend, and the result of marketization is like this. He can only do his own thing well and maintain a balance between business and art as much as possible.
In June, another group of students from art schools in Beijing were about to graduate.
Good Dream Company signed several young directors and actors, including Huang Xiaoming, Xia Yu, Liu Ye and Yuan Quan.
Lin Zixuan spent 10 million to establish a youth director assistance fund, preparing to invest in five small-cost movies to practice their skills for those young directors.
As long as you have a good script and shooting plan, you can get the shooting funds after passing the review of Haomeng Company.
Good Dream Company will also provide young directors with crew members and actors, including the release of subsequent films.
In this way, we will discover potential young directors and actors and prepare talents for Haomeng Company.
The Youth Director Support Fund is available every year, and the amount is 10% of the profits of Haomeng Company in the previous year. The more the company earns, the more funds will be.
Lin Zixuan attended the press conference of the Youth Directors Support Fund.
"The sustainable development of the film industry cannot be separated from young directors. They are the future of this industry. We are willing to provide young directors with such a development platform to help them take the first step. We hope that they can go further in the future and go to the world." Lin Zixuan said.
Looking at the reporters applauding and taking photos in the audience, Lin Zixuan was in a moment of trance.
Once upon a time, he was still a newcomer in this circle, riding a bicycle and taking scripts to the Beijing Film Studio to look for opportunities to make scripts into movies.
Now he is sitting on the stage and has the ability to provide newcomers who have just entered the circle with the opportunity to film.
He felt that it should be.
The elderly bring new people into the industry. This is the inheritance in the circle. Only with inheritance will it not be cut off and there will be hope.
