Chapter 9 China Film Group
Several people were having hot pot with mutton and drinking.
Jing Tian and the others are all beautiful women, each with their own unique charm.
Even before she fully matured, Zheng Shuang's pure face and bright eyes left a deep impression.
Gu Qingshan appeared to be in a good mood.
"Qingshan, have you got any news about your next movie? If there's a suitable role, you should consider us." Shuangmei picked up a glass of beer.
Lu Shan said, "That's right, we shouldn't let the good stuff go to outsiders. We're all friends."
"We'll try to match you up with Tian Tian more often in the future, and we'll put in a good word for you," Chai Biyun said with a smile.
Jing Tian blushed slightly. "If you dare to talk nonsense again, you won't even have a chance to be an extra."
Gu Qingshan glanced at Jing Tian secretly, then picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Shuang Meizi's. "I have some ideas for the next one, but I need to write the script first. Once the script is finished, if there are any roles, I will definitely give you guys priority. After all, you are Tian Tian's roommates and friends."
Lu Shan chuckled, "Then it's a deal! If I become rich and powerful, I won't forget you!"
Before they knew it, everyone had finished three bottles of beer, and Jing Tian ordered two more for everyone.
Gu Qingshan was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that besides Jing Tian, who had a good alcohol tolerance, the other four women also had a pretty good alcohol tolerance.
After dinner, the group discussed it and decided to go see Ann Lee's movie.
Ann Lee is an Academy Award winner for Best Director and a world-renowned director.
The film "Lust, Caution" has sparked huge controversy as soon as it was released.
Many people entered the cinema with curiosity, and Jing Tian and her friends were no exception.
The movie has just been released and is shrouded in mystery.
Gu Qingshan, on the other hand, didn't know how. In his previous life, he had watched it countless times, including the uncensored version.
Jing Tian sat next to Gu Qingshan, who was holding popcorn. They each had a Coke, just like a couple.
Smelling the faint fragrance, Gu Qingshan's throat moved, and while Jing Tian was making popcorn, he secretly touched it.
Feeling Jing Tian's gaze, Gu Qingshan pretended not to be affected.
When the movie started and that particular scene came on, the theater erupted in lively discussion.
Gu Qingshan felt a pinch on the flesh around his waist.
Jing Tian threatened in a low voice, "You're not allowed to look."
Gu Qingshan noticed that Lu Shan and the others covered their eyes with their hands, but the gaps between their fingers were quite large.
Gu Qingshan chuckled. This scene was probably only comparable to the movie "Titanic" from back then.
If couples read this and then go to bed together, the effect will be better than eating twenty oysters.
......
the next day.
Gu Qingshan arrived at the company, which was essentially a studio, and had rented an office near the Beijing Film Academy.
There are only five employees.
Gu Qingshan arranged for the film to be submitted for review, and then took the finished film to China Film Group.
China Film Group is not far from Beijing Film Academy.
Upon arriving at China Film Group, gazing at the colossal structure before him, Gu Qingshan tightened his backpack, straightened his clothes slightly, and calmly walked inside.
The current head of China Film Group is Han Sanping.
After entering the company building, I explained my purpose to the receptionist, filled out a registration form, and was then led to a room.
As the largest film company in the country, China Film Group receives people every day with their scripts or finished films seeking investment and distribution.
The idea that sixth-generation directors were suppressed or had their talents go to waste is simply not true!
Those so-called sixth-generation directors, look at the garbage they make, they're just a bunch of stinking ditch rats.
Gu Qingshan took a deep breath. Even though he was very confident in himself, he was still a little nervous at this moment.
If China Film Group approves of the film and is unwilling to distribute it, then we'll have to find other distribution companies.
After waiting for an hour, a young woman finally came in.
"Hello, are you looking to invest or issue shares?" the woman asked Gu Qingshan.
Those who come to China Film Group are either seeking investment or seeking distribution rights.
In short, they needed something from China Film Group, which led the employees of China Film Group to treat these visitors as equals or even looking down on them.
Gu Qingshan said, "It's out! The film is finished and is currently being submitted for review."
"Did you bring the film?" the woman asked.
"I brought it!" Gu Qingshan took out a CD from his backpack.
The woman glanced at it, nodded, and said, "Nightclub, quite interesting. At first glance, it might make you think it's a nightclub, or Director Feng's 'The Banquet'."
"Okay, I'll take it to the team leader."
Gu Qingshan quickly said, "Thank you!"
This woman was clearly just an ordinary employee and didn't have any power.
Gu Qingshan waited in the room, awaiting the result.
Waiting is always hard to bear.
Gu Qingshan kept checking his watch.
10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes...
Gu Qingshan couldn't sit still at all and kept pacing around the room.
The woman finally returned after a full 115 minutes.
"Gu Qingshan, right? Our team leader wants to see you. Come with me," the woman said.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingshan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This means that the other party watched the entire movie.
The entire movie is 94 minutes long. If the other party can watch it all, it means they are interested, and it should be able to be released.
Gu Qingshan followed the woman to a screening room, where movies could be shown and there was also a small long table for meetings.
Gu Qingshan was somewhat surprised; there were actually five people among them, one of whom was the famous Third Master Han.
"Gu Qingshan, right?" Han Sanping looked Gu Qingshan up and down with great interest.
"Hello, Chairman Han!" Gu Qingshan quickly stepped forward and bowed slightly.
Han Sanping nodded. "For a new director, it's not bad to have made a movie!"
"Let's watch the film first, and we'll talk about the specifics after we finish watching it."
Then, they started playing "Nightclub".
Gu Qingshan understood: even Han Sanping had come to see "Night Shop," so the publication of "Night Shop" was no longer a problem.
While playing "Night Shop," Gu Qingshan occasionally observed the expressions of Han Sanping and the others.
He is confident in his film "Night Shop".
Compared to the original "Nightclub," his version has a smoother plot, better comedic effect, better editing and color grading, and better music.
If there's anything slightly inferior, it's only that Jing Tian's performance was inferior to Li Xiaolu's.
However, overall, his "Nightclub" is much better.
Of the 300 million yuan Jing Tian gave him, he spent a total of 220 million yuan. In addition, he earned 50 yuan from embedding GG on Nokia phones and other devices, leaving him with 130 million yuan.
Finally, "Nightclub" finished playing.
Everyone sat down at the conference table.
Han Sanping slowly spoke, "Do you want to release the film and use a box office revenue sharing model, or sell it directly to China Film Group? If you sell it to China Film Group, I'll give you 350 million."
350 million, which means that he earned 130 million.
"Chairman Han, I'd like to use a box office revenue sharing model," Gu Qingshan said.
He inquired and found out that there are two models for the film after its completion. One is the box office revenue sharing model, where everything is left to the market, which is quite risky. The other is the buyout model, where the film's copyright is sold to China Film Group, and the film's box office revenue and related merchandise sales are irrelevant to them. The advantage is that there is no risk.
Han Sanping nodded. "Alright, let's use the box office revenue sharing model. China Film Group will distribute this film."
Then, they discussed the schedule.
Releasing the film in November seems too rushed; it could only be released at the end of November, since the finished film is still being submitted for review.
As for December, that's the Lunar New Year film season.
The competition during the Lunar New Year film season has always been fierce.
今年贺岁档，比较热门的有几部，分别是定档11月22日的《虎胆龙威4》、11月30日《苹果》和《命运呼叫转移》、12月12日《投名状》、12月20日《集结号》！
"Die Hard 4" is a film series. It grossed $1.34 million in North America and $380 million worldwide. Its release date of November 22 is intended to kick off the Lunar New Year film season and warm up the holiday season.
Gu Qingshan looked at "Apple". He was deeply impressed by this movie. He had watched it no less than ten times and was always excited every time he watched it.
As for box office, this film is not expected to perform well. It was even banned shortly after its release and only after five rounds of cuts and revisions was it finally approved for theatrical release.
There's been a lot of discussion and debate about this movie.
After all, the film was originally scheduled for release in May and August, but was ultimately pulled from theaters due to failing to pass censorship.
This time, the film is said to be 15 to 20 minutes shorter than the original.
