Chapter 69 Chapter 69, Join in the fun
"Jiang Feng, this matter is a bit complicated. Um... I will just give you a brief talk. You can understand as much as you can."

"In order to support the film and television cultural industry, our country transfers several special funds every year to the accounts of various state-owned film and television companies, such as the Xi'an Film Studio, the Beijing Film Studio, the Shanghai Film Studio, etc.

And these payments are basically paid out under a hat.

For example, the money to support the filming of revolutionary films, the money to support the filming of rural films, and the money to support the filming of educational films. "

"Jiang Feng, since the relevant national leaders went to the United States two years ago and watched many science fiction blockbusters such as "ET", "Terminator", "Air Force One", and "Star Wars" in American cinemas, these special funds have added another fund to support the production of domestic science fiction films."

"Jiang Feng, in our school, you have also seen science fiction movies produced by Hollywood. Just one movie costs tens of millions of dollars. Some science fiction movies even cost as much as 50 or 60 million dollars.

Therefore, the special funds allocated by our country to support science fiction films will basically be diverted to various state-owned film and television companies for other purposes, such as shooting urban-themed films, rural-themed films, or simply letting people like Feng Xiaogang shoot comedies.

After all, you can’t make any science fiction films with one or two million RMB a year.”

"But Director Han of the Beijing Film Studio has always refused to let us use the money, saying that there might be a director in our country who can make a science fiction movie. Well, to be more precise, a low-budget science fiction movie."

"Because of this, Director Han offended a lot of people. After all, one or two million RMB can make a pretty good rural-themed comedy movie."

"Some even said that although the China Film Group, which will be established next year, is based on the Beijing Film Studio, Director Han is a rigid person with limited open-mindedness, so it is not recommended that he join the group.

For this reason, Director Han is under a lot of pressure. "

"But at this time, the film and television industry suddenly heard that you could shoot a science fiction movie with only 300 million RMB, and you were going to take it to Portugal and the United States to compete. This made Director Han suddenly interested in you.

According to his analysis to me on the phone, you don't seem to be lying.

Because even veterans in the domestic film and television industry may not know about very niche film festivals such as the St. Denis Film Festival in the United States and the Lisbon International Horror Film Festival in Portugal. Since you can talk about it, it means you have done some research on this matter.

Um... Director Han just doesn't understand, since you said you were shooting a science fiction movie, why did you take it to a film festival that mainly features horror and thriller films?"

"Jiang Feng, you have learned the above inside story.

Now, tell me the truth, are you just trying to evade the entertainment agents, or are you really capable of making a low-budget science fiction movie?"

Ok…

Sitting on the sofa in the guest waiting area of ​​Studio 2 of Shancheng TV Station, Jiang Feng, who had been on the phone for nearly half an hour, was silent for a while, then said solemnly to the phone: "Teacher Cui, I feel that I can shoot a science fiction movie with 300 million RMB."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Cui Xinqin on the phone said "OK" and hung up without asking any other questions.

But before hanging up the phone, she specifically reminded him: "Jiang Feng, how about this, you take the earliest flight from Shancheng to Beijing tomorrow, and I will take you to the Beijing Film Studio."

...

According to Zhang Yibai's plan, after the recording of the interview variety show "Mountain City Night Talk" was completed, everyone took off their makeup and went to the bar to drink together.

Zhang Yibai's old friends in Shancheng are actually the ones who kept calling the TV station and strongly demanded that the TV series be rebroadcast during prime time after the first broadcast of "Love is Not Blind" in the garbage time slot on Shancheng TV Station. They are now waiting in the bar near Jiefangbei.

As the planner of this action, Jiang Feng must participate.

But there is no way, Jiang Feng has something to do tomorrow.

So, in a bar called "Tang Dynasty" near the Jiefangbei in the mountain city, Jiang Feng drank two bottles of beer in one breath in public as an apology to everyone, said sorry, and turned back to the hotel.

Xu Jinglei also went back to the hotel with her! However, whether on the way back to the hotel or after arriving at the hotel, she knew why Cui Xinqin called Jiang Feng so late, but she never asked, Jiang Feng, how about you tell me about the science fiction movie you created?

Of course, the beauty did not even squeeze into Jiang Feng's room. She shamelessly said, "Everything goes well. I like it. Jiang Feng, how about we repeat yesterday's story tonight?"

Flying from Shancheng to Beijing

The earliest flight was at 6:5 in the morning, so at a.m., after washing up, Jiang Feng came out of the room with his luggage in hand.

But just as he was closing the door, the door opposite suddenly opened, and the person who came out was Xu Jinglei, pulling a suitcase in her hand.

"Uh... Senior Sister Jinglei, why are you leaving anyway? Didn't you say last night that you wanted to visit the Wulong Tiankeng?"

Jiang Feng was a little surprised to see Xu Jinglei dressed for a trip.

It was agreed last night that director Zhang Yibai made some money from the TV series "Love is Not Blind", so he planned to take Tian Zhen, Zhang Chu, Gao Qi, Xie Yuxin and others to Wulong Tiankeng, and Xu Jinglei would also go.

"hehe…"

Xu Jinglei tilted her head to look at Jiang Feng, smiled gently and said, "Jiang Feng, I am quite familiar with Old Han from the Beijing Film Studio. If you are bragging this time, or if you want to use this method to attract the attention of relevant leaders but fail, I can help you speak up."

"Um…"

Jiang Feng was a little touched. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Senior Sister Jinglei, let's go. I will let you see the whole process of how China's first low-budget classic hard science fiction movie was born."

November 1998, 11, 3:10 AM

The weather in Beijing is a bit cool.

Although the sun was shining brightly, some pedestrians who were cold still wore thick coats.

Wang Jinghua is in good physical condition. She rode a bicycle to the Beijing Film Studio and even had sweat on her forehead.

She got off the bus at the gate of Beijing Film Studio, raised her hand to greet the security guard Lao Qin, and pushed her bicycle into the factory. However, she had not walked far when she saw two acquaintances, so she parked her bicycle to the side of the road. Wang Jinghua then greeted them with a smile.

"Hello, Teacher Cui!"

"Hello, Mr. Li!"

Li Xiaowan, who was chatting with Cui Xinqin, turned her head when she heard someone calling her.

"Oh, it's Mr. Wang.

what's going on?

Mr. Wang, are you here today to discuss a project with Chen Daoming again? But I seem to have heard that Director Chen Jialin is planning to have Jiang Wen play the role in the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty" that he is going to shoot? "

"hehe…"

Facing the "concern" from old friend and rival Li Xiaowan, Wang Jinghua smiled and took a black bag off the handlebars of her bicycle, saying, "I heard that Mr. Cui's student Jiang Feng will meet with Director Han today, and it seems that they are going to talk about a science fiction movie, so I came to join in the fun.

Well, I just came here to join in the fun. "
