New Age Artists

Chapter 569 My sword is not at all disadvantageous! I will lead the charge!

Early in the morning.

In the face of Marina Alexandrova's request to stay, Shen Santong still put work first: "Prepare well, my play will bring about earth-shaking changes in your life."

"Why did you choose me? I'm just a woman with two failed marriages." Marina Alexandrova asked, "Is it for the Russian market? But our market is not that big either."

"It's not small." Shen Santong glanced at her.

I couldn't help it and came back again.

Gee!

Top queen face!
I know everything!

"Movies are just movies, don't think too much about it."

Before leaving afterwards, Shen Santong criticized Marina Alexandrova. It might be that Shen Santong was too suspicious. This woman had too many problems.

Various residues have also been dealt with. With such a large business, we can no longer live like before.

Shen Santong missed the simple life in the past.

Looking out the window, people and things pass by quickly, just like the past that can never be returned to.

"Boss, there are a lot of messages."

When I arrived at the company, the personal assistant and the work assistant surrounded me.

Shen Santong took a look and saw that in life, it was nothing more than jealousy, and in work, it was a matter of last-place elimination: "Just deal with it as it should be dealt with."

My recent focus is on writing a new report.

It can also be called internal reference, which is not a rare thing, but the one he wrote is required to be kept confidential.

Around New Year's Day, Shen Santong wrote an internal reference article.

"The comparative advantage of the film industry in trade negotiations."

The general content is: In 10, the Tokyo Film Market was the third largest market in the world, only slightly behind the script.

In 11, which is this year, it will definitely be the second largest market in the world.

This year's total movie box office was 110 billion yuan, with 62 billion yuan for domestic films and billion yuan for imported films. The vast majority of the money from imported films went to the five major Hollywood studios.

The reason why it is the top five is that in the past 10 years, Sony Columbia has not released any films with shared revenue, except for the special film "Gourmet Food" which did not occupy the import quota and was screened in the form of technical exchanges. "The Karate Kid" co-produced with China Film is considered a co-production.

The five major Hollywood companies, Disney, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Warner, and Universal, took away more than 13 million to nearly million US dollars, or %, with a net profit of more than million US dollars.

The biggest winner was 20th Century Fox, whose "Avatar" earned more than billion RMB, or million USD. The Eastern market exceeded the original market by nearly million USD, making it the second largest box office in the world. The film company took home more than million USD.

Hollywood imported films get the best distribution conditions in Dongda and do not require much publicity.

13% may not seem like much, but it is net profit for the film producers.

If negotiations next year further relax the share and increase the share, the six Hollywood studios will gain greater profits in the East.

If an ordinary film company faces this situation, it will usually cry miserably, saying that the Hollywood wolf is coming and they need to quickly provide policies, relax the review process, and demand benefits.

Someone else might think that giving 13 points to a Hollywood box-office film is too little.

Hollywood's global market is worth billions, how can they be inferior to you in this aspect?
After "Avatar", I start to look at you with a little more respect, so just be happy.

Unfortunately, Shen Santong is neither of these two types of people.

He saw opportunity in danger!

Never underestimate the Dongda Market!
The film market is now at a mature stage. 13 points is not out of kindness on Hollywood's part, but it is not a small amount either. No one will complain that the profit is too much.

Shen Santong proposed to open up the domestic film market in a big way in 11, and give Hollywood imported films and other special films a relatively normal schedule.

Let them double their box office this year, or even more.

This is to gain more room in trade negotiations.

In many negotiations, Xiao Mi always likes to include the opening of the film market, and Xiao Mi also likes to take advantage of the market.

Shen Santong’s idea was that if the enemy could go there, he could go there too.

Dongda can also use its market advantages.

Among the Big Six Hollywood studios, Sony and Columbia don’t count, and their scripts are shit.

The other five big names have far greater influence on Xiao Mi than their market value, especially now that she is Michelle's husband and in the Donkey Party era.

It has a close relationship with Hollywood.

What Shen Santong meant was that the film market would make big concessions, allowing Hollywood to grow by 7 billion, or 10 billion U.S. dollars, and Santong Entertainment would be able to maintain more than half of the box office revenue from domestic films.

Given the characteristics of Xiaomi's financial country, the expectations for the emerging market of Dongda have been hyped up long ago, so let's give it an unexpected increase to gain more bargaining chips in the negotiations.

After this article was submitted, the response was quick and at a high level, asking Shen Santong to write down the detailed operations.

This time it is no longer through public channels, but through special channels.

Shen Santong did have a trick up his sleeve, and it’s not complicated to explain.

It is to take advantage of the conflict between Xiaomi’s interest group and national interests.

As a financial country, various financial derivatives can reap future profits. A billion-dollar box office can be magnified into tens of billions of financial derivatives, or even more.

This is much higher than the box office revenue of 13 points.

This is only the first year, and there will be more to come.

The capital behind the scenes takes the lion's share, and politicians receive donations ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, as well as generous annual salaries or celebrity services through the revolving door.

What can you gain from Todai?
What can be gained is huge. It can allow Hollywood to exert influence in turn and make these people sell out the interests of the Xiaomi Empire.

It’s not called “betrayal”, the premise of “betrayal” is “loyalty”.

This is a good business.

Exchange the interests of the empire for the benefits of Hollywood moguls and politicians.

As long as it does not harm other interest groups and only harms the empire as a whole, no one will object.

As he was writing the details of the operation, Shen Santong was inspired to make an analogy: "For example, Michelle's husband bribed the teacher interest group to vote for him."

"For him, firing two teachers is more difficult than starting a local war."

"Because firing two teachers would affect the teachers' interest groups, and he and the Donkey Party would lose in the mid-term, which is a direct loss of interest. And launching a local war would not be opposed by any domestic interest groups."

"As for the scars and ulcers caused by the war, that is the loss of the empire and the civilians, not the loss of specific interest owners. On the contrary, the contractors and the military complex will benefit."

Shen Santong's idea is to use the billion dollars of benefits given to Hollywood in exchange for ten times or even more national benefits.

The opposite of Xiaomi's logic.

As a leader in the film industry, Santong Entertainment will be squeezed out of its stable money-making state by imported Hollywood films, making it more difficult to make money.

Even he himself would be blacklisted by Hollywood companies.

It is difficult for interest groups to profit, but the country as a whole can profit.

After writing and revising it, Shen Santong handed it to the contact person on the spot.

Next, Shen Santong held a meeting to implement stricter assessment standards and implement the last-in-first-out elimination process.

This is not a spur of the moment decision.

To divide the shares, you must first give benefits; to unite, you must first win them over; now it’s time to detoxify.

If we release Hollywood imported films in large numbers, the pressure will be very high. Including special films, there are a total of twenty-four or twenty-five Hollywood films, all of which are made to be perfect.

Even though the current situation is good, Santong Entertainment, imported films, and other domestic films share the market.

By next year, it is possible that imported films will outperform domestic films, and it will be difficult to withstand the pressure.

Blacksmith need its own hardware!
In the past two years, Shen Santong has tried his best to unite all forces. Now he is cleaning them up, and he has an excuse.

For the inheritance of art!
Shen Santong really had no hope for the older generation of academicians.

Later, there was an animated film called "The Door Gods" which was shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Awards.

The main storyline is that the two "gate guarding" gods were removed because of internal strife.

At the beginning, the two gatekeepers, one holding a sword and the other holding a hammer, fought back and forth.

At 4 minutes and 59 seconds, the sword was hit and bent into a sickle.

Then another goalkeeper holding a hammer accidentally blew himself up, and a red flag floated across the screen.

Finally, the door god holding the sickle was replaced when he was feeling proud.

Several images in the film: door gods, sickle and hammer, red flag, and door god paintings being torn off.

What do you mean?
Then the benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom.

If I remember correctly, the blue flag or green flag is used to end the race.

The chief director of "The Door Gods" is now the vice-secretary of Shen Santong's alma mater, the dean of the Animation College, the dean of the Animation Research Institute, and will be the vice-dean in the future.

Dean Sun’s resume is quite rich, including awards, filming, teaching, related writings, and cooperative companies.

Judging from past experience, "The Door God" will most likely be sent abroad for awards.

President Sun is very representative.

The film had a huge investment, and the producer had an official background. The box office was a mess, but it won many awards and bonuses.

In other words: use the official money, lose all the official money, earn official bonuses, and then become the vice president of the school with the most resources in the film industry.

The biggest difference between people like Shen Santong and the older generation is that they are not affected by cause and effect and have no sins.

For the older generation of directors, three points rely on hard work, seven points rely on connections, and one point relies on talent.

Often this talent is dispensable.

As long as you can get along well in the circle, being the son of so-and-so or the apprentice of so-and-so is much more important than ability.

By various coincidences, the previous generation controlled the right to speak, resources, and funding in the entire industry. If they say you are capable, you are capable, and if they say you are not capable, you are not capable either. Ability is nothing.

Under this model, a group of good-for-nothings can transform themselves into directors, and when others call them teacher, they really think they are teachers.

At first, Shen Santong thought it was due to low education level, but later he felt that it was not true and it had nothing to do with education level.

It's lack of common sense!

There are many people who have common sense even though they do not have a high level of education. These people are good-for-nothings with low common sense.

It's ignorance.

The whole gangster theme thinks that he is a veteran and very great, and he has the nerve to say that it is his own experience.

What these people fear most is industry change.

Shen Santong’s attitude towards this is: Now that you’ve seen the future, why don’t you get out of here!
In fact, most practitioners who have no connections, including some school teachers, only make four to five thousand yuan a month, and this is in BJ.

At most, there is a staff dormitory benefit and some work to do during normal times.

Money, sex, and anger have little to do with them, even the 208w in the future has little to do with them.

These people sometimes just need to scatter a handful of rice, but they don't have enough to eat next time.

Shen Santong's distribution of shares was enough to win over people's hearts. Now it was just a matter of eliminating those stubborn and incompetent scoundrels.

In the past, we had to give someone some face because they were students of so-and-so, but we won’t need to do that anymore in the future.

These people are most afraid of change and should have been swept into history long ago.

Laba Festival.

Shen Santong drank the Laba porridge happily, and the delicious porridge made him in a good mood.

"Director Tian, ​​don't worry, I will definitely support art films!"

"Teacher Zhao, I'm not looking for an excuse to make trouble. I will set up an art film foundation."

All kinds of calls came in, but Shen Santong always expressed respect and support verbally, but opposed in action.

I also learned this from these people.

This time, the last-in-first-out system will be implemented. In name, it is to supply artistic talents to the society and the market, and an art film foundation will really be established.

Help these people find jobs, preferably working for friendly companies.

Shen Santong was very excited until the evening.

One is that his proposal has received a response, and he plans to set up a special group to study it.

Another big event is the biggest happy event.

J-20 test flight was successful!

The domestic standard is the fourth generation, and the foreign standard is the fifth generation fighter!

Just today, the first technical verification aircraft of the J-20 stealth fighter took off for its first flight test at around 12:50 noon.

The landing was successful at 13:08, taking 18 minutes.

The entire maiden flight was completed accompanied by the J-10S combat trainer aircraft.

This first flight took place just a few hours after Gates' visit, and he was kindly informed of it.

Coincidence, just a coincidence.

Two days ago, we invited Defense Secretary Robert Gates to visit. Two years ago, in 09, Robert Gates asserted: "We will not have fifth-generation fighters by 2020, and there may only be a few fifth-generation aircraft by 2025."

The Pentagon has made similar assurances to Congress.

It is claimed that even if the fifth-generation aircraft is developed in the 20s, it will not be put into service until 2030. The sixth-generation fighter of the Chinese Air Force is planned to be put into use in 2024.

Of course, as always, the weapons are defensive and not aimed at any third party.

Rabbits can be quite mean sometimes, it's not that they won't bite people.

night.

Shen Santong drank a lot of wine, which was rare.

Happy!

Cool!
When he was in college, Shen Santong also read some books on weapons in the school library and discussed them with his classmates.
I felt desperate after watching it.

It's too difficult to rise.

Xiao Mi is very good at publicity and deceiving people. She exaggerates that the lift coefficient of the F-22 is so high.

One can imagine the despair of the J-20 researchers: they just can’t achieve it, they just can’t achieve it.

It was designed as a duck wing, which was different from Xiaomi and was ridiculed.

Later I found out that Xiao Mi had faked the information again.

We will achieve whatever the West brags about.

It’s true, Xiao Mi: Brother, I was just kidding, are you serious?
Ten or twenty years ago, these were unimaginable.

And it has developed very fast, exceeding the expectations of many people, even those deep in the industry. Twenty or thirty years ago, it was really hopeless. Nothing worked. Land, sea and air were all backward. It was completely not on the same level. You could only make up for it with your life.

Even the 99A has made people excited for a long time. Finally, a capable one came out. People even bought a huge poster to put on the wall.

From today onwards, the battle between "Eight Masters" and "Raptor" will become a thing of the past.

The mighty dragon is born, the sky is high and the sea is vast!
Without this, no matter how well you develop, it will not be yours.

Only with this can we safeguard the achievements of development.

1 month 12 day.

Just after the Laba Festival, Shen Santong went to the Film Bureau to receive an award.

The commendation conference was just a cover, there was also a small meeting afterwards, a multi-department meeting, and representatives from the Ministry of Commerce and other departments also participated.

Before the meeting, I chatted with a group of leaders.

The hottest thing, of course, is the big event that happened yesterday.

"I feel so proud!" exclaimed a pot-bellied leader.

Shen Santong is too young among a group of leaders who are generally in their forties or fifties. Just listen to him.

A man wearing glasses shook his head and said, "The first flight is not the end. To form combat effectiveness, there is more complicated and difficult work waiting for us aviation personnel and scientists. There is still a big gap between us and Xiao Mi."

He nodded at Shen Santong: "Nowadays, we still have to behave ourselves."

"Yes." Someone else echoed: "As a national weapon, we must analyze and analyze again, innovate and innovate again, demonstrate and demonstrate again, and iterate again to enhance our combat effectiveness."

Shen Santong doesn't think these people are soft or anything.

After more contact with some leaders, he has also changed a lot.

These people are different from the academics, they are people who get things done.

Especially for the Film Bureau, even in the previous life, it was not easy to hold on against the offensive of imported films and the backstabbing of various eccentrics within the organization.

Some of these ideas seem humble and unconfident to people in later generations, but Shen Santong came to understand them over time.

As latecomers, we cannot look at the past with the perspective of the future. The predecessors who really did things deserve understanding.

Of course, some leaders may not think this way when they speak.

It is very likely that the first person to praise someone else will then feel the need to argue with him.

If the first one is derogatory, the following ones may be encouraging, such as "It's not easy for astronauts" and "You can't underestimate yourself."

They were all from film departments, and during the conversation they talked about industry policies.

One leader praised: "The three links are well done, and there is still a lot of room for tax exemption policy."

Unlike the previous life, in order to cope with the increase in the share of imported films and promote the development of domestic films, it was very difficult and various supports were provided.

If the box office of domestic films exceeds half of the total box office, the 5% special film development fund that the theaters are required to pay can be exempted from %. If it exceeds %, % will be levied, and if it exceeds %, only % needs to be paid.

It means encouraging cinemas to screen domestic films instead of just imported films.

Today, this policy still exists, but its intensity is smaller and the policy space remains.

A leader asked with concern: "I heard that your company is tightening the restrictions on students related to Beijing Film Academy. Xiao Shen, are you going to sacrifice your personal interests for the sake of justice?"

"No, I think I was too naive. After listening to the teacher's words, I reflected on the path I took in the past."

Question: Shen Santong respects his teacher.

He accepts all the good words and pretends not to hear any bad words.

If you want him to change, then get the stamped document.

On the surface, he absolutely respects his teachers.

"I want to organize an art film festival. It can't be purely commercial. It should be a combination of commercial and art. Alas, I lack artistic pursuits and cannot compare to many directors who have been recognized by international film festivals."

Hearing this, the bespectacled leader who had just been a little discouraged immediately encouraged himself: "Nowadays, you should focus on business. Art doesn't need you. Don't be discouraged and go into art."

"Yes, yes, it's so good to walk now, just keep walking." Others echoed.

It's almost time.

Awards ceremony.

The director who presided over the meeting first reported the good news: "This year's total box office is 172 billion, of which domestic films have a total box office of 110 billion, accounting for more than %. Domestic films have achieved an unprecedented victory."

"The leaders in charge of relevant areas made important instructions, encouraging us to keep up the good work and contribute the power of film to realize the goal of becoming a cultural superpower."

"It's mainly because Santong Entertainment has made a significant contribution, and it has achieved success both domestically and abroad. Our director Shen Santong has become an internationally renowned director!"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
applaud.

Shen Santong shared his experience, first expressing his gratitude, and then providing practical advice: "In my opinion, the original intention of cultural export should not be to 'export culture to the world', but to make movies that we like."

"Cultural export" is the topic that Shen Santong talks about most in various official meetings, and it is also his most important achievement.

Shen Santong believes that this is a false proposition and that taking this as a goal is like seeking fish in a tree.

If a country is strong and has the trust and love of the people, it will be natural to win the war. Otherwise, it will be counterproductive.

Artists who do not respect their audiences cannot have influence, just as businessmen who do not respect their customers cannot have influence.

Shen Santong cited examples based on actual achievements: "The Battle of Red Cliff is a major battle event in our history and an important plot in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of the four great classics. The name of the film "Dream Stealer" is derived from the name "Robber Zhi". Are there any kings, princes, generals or ministers of different races? We have been resisting continuously since ancient times."

"Only by sticking to one's own ideas, adhering to Chinese aesthetic standards, resisting external influences, and producing beautiful things can one achieve great success in both the market and word of mouth."

“To achieve a result where aesthetics and the market complement each other.”

"On the contrary, if a film is only recognized in a small circle and cannot be marketed and shown to the audience, it will be difficult to succeed."

It is impossible for others to like a movie or a cultural product that you don’t even like.

It is impossible to gain respect from foreigners with cultural differences.

In his speeches that were recorded in writing, Shen Santong always spoke the truth: "The country is currently at a point where the experience available from outside is decreasing. There are even many topics that they cannot answer themselves. We need to answer them ourselves, and even design the test papers."

"We are gradually changing from 'bringing in' to 'going out'. After the Olympics, the mentality of the whole nation has improved significantly."

“Whoever can adapt to this change, whoever can meet the needs of the audience, whoever can do this task well, will succeed, and even create a trend and achieve something themselves.”

"If, just for some small emotions, some face, for the sake of labels like 'fashionable', 'niche', 'pure', 'innocent', 'artistic', etc., we always go to extremes, marginalize, and run in the opposite direction."

"The result is marginalization. You get what you want."

This will be the case for the next ten to twenty years.

In the past, there were Wu Jing and Guo Fan in movies and Feng Ji in games who followed the trend of the times. They became the darlings of the times and became a cultural symbol.

Some leaders are satisfied, while others frown.

Some people also think that Shen Santong is a veteran like them, who is one way in chatting and another in meetings, and is very slippery.

After the general meeting is the small meeting, which is the most important.

There are only a few people.

Today's commendation meeting is also to ensure that Shen Santong's schedule remains normal and maintain a certain degree of confidentiality.

"You boy."

Han Sanping also came and scolded with a smile: "You have done something big without making any noise. If you can't do it, I'll see what you can do!"

Shen Santong praised: "I learned from Mr. Han, didn't you say that movies can't be a weakness in negotiations?"

"I didn't tell you to take the initiative!" Han Sanping felt very proud.

In a sense, Hollywood movies are an important force in promoting the formation and development of the contemporary Dongda film consumption market.

The reform of the film system and mechanism began in 1993.

Over the past 18 years, the rapid development of Dongda’s film industry has benefited from open market-oriented reforms.

With the gradual opening of the film market, the scale of the film industry has developed rapidly.

In the past 8 years, Dongda Film has achieved a leapfrog growth from annual output of less than 172 films to nearly films, and annual total box office from more than million yuan to billion yuan, which can be called a miracle in the history of world film development.

During this process, I was under a lot of pressure and suffered a lot of cultural shock.

Since the film market was opened in 95, 10 foreign blockbusters have been introduced every year; since joining the World Trade Organization in 01, 20 foreign blockbusters have been imported every year.

Next year, we will have negotiations with Xiaomi on this matter again, and the quota for imported films will be further increased.

During the negotiations, Xiao Mi kept demanding an expansion of the quota and exerted pressure from all sides.

Han Sanping witnessed, participated in and even promoted the development of Dongda Film, which has always been under great pressure.

It has become much easier in the last two years.

In the past, we just defended, but now we have to take the initiative to attack.

Times are changing so fast!
He and Shen Santong are so awesome!
The leader who presided over the meeting got straight to the point: "Today's meeting is a closed-door meeting, so just say whatever you want to say."

"Now, we want to ask, if the current 24 or 25 Hollywood movies are screened in a normal schedule, separated by at least one week, can they maintain half of the market share?"

"We will negotiate with Xiao Mi next year. If we import ten more domestic films, can we hold out? What about twenty?"

“What if there is no format distinction?”

Shen Santong remembered that it was expanded to 34 parts in the previous life, but there were technical requirements.

Filmmakers generally cried wolf.

It is better than the 1990s, and many people are optimistic that it will stimulate progress in the film industry.

If I remember correctly, it was too optimistic.

It should be in 11 and 12 that Dongda Film was completely defeated by Hollywood.

Eight of the top ten box office charts are Hollywood blockbusters.

Many optimists have turned into extreme pessimists, saying: Movies are dying!

Under pressure, three movies, "Lost in Thailand", "Love is Not Blind" and "Painted Skin II", emerged and won a certain market.

The problem is that it's clearly not enough.

The film industry did not make good use of the six or seven years of buffer period from 05 to 11 and 12.

Other industries are making inroads, and the film industry can only barely keep up.

Without China Film Group taking sides, the situation would be unsustainable.

On the other hand, if you can withstand the impact of Hollywood imported films, then you will have a lot of bargaining chips.

Han Sanping's answer was very stable.

Shen Santong was very confident: "We at Santong Entertainment are confident. What we are doing now is very conservative and stable. It won't be a problem to grow by 50% next year and reach 10 billion box office."

"Visual effects films require time to accumulate, but dramas, comedies, youth films, horror films and other such films are definitely very energy-efficient."

"As long as other domestic films can reach 4 billion, they can hold up."

Shen Santong has always been very conservative.

Maintain a certain ratio between projects you knew in your previous life and original projects. Even if you lose money in the attempt, you can make it back through certain projects.

He doesn't want changes to happen too quickly, and he still needs time to perfect the system.

But 10 billion and 50 points are not a lot.

The stock split has provided a great stimulus, and coupled with the last-place elimination, there will definitely be great potential in 11.

The representative of the Ministry of Commerce said: "We understand your feelings, but some things cannot be accomplished with just enthusiasm."

"We also understand the film market. Good schedules are limited, and sometimes one thing wins while another loses."

Shen Santong's proposal was a good one. The more imported films they accepted, the more room for maneuver they would have in negotiations, and they could even gain benefits in other areas by making concessions on films.

Xiao Mi has always wanted a cultural victory and a cultural overturn.

The total size of the film market is small, but under the Xiaomi system, the media has a lot of say, and this is where operations can be carried out.

But to execute it, you have to be responsible.

The memorandum will be signed again next year. The film market used to be a shortcoming, but it seems to have been made up for now. However, it is hard to say whether it is just a flash in the pan or a short-lived one.

In 09, in order to go public, Huayi produced some pretty good movies. After the successful listing, it sold off all of its products as soon as the ban period was over, cutting the leeks and immediately went bankrupt.

Is it Santong Entertainment?

This requires an objective assessment. It is not enough to simply guarantee it. We need to assess the impact that can be sustained.

The key is whether you can withstand it!
The movie is really worrying!

The final meeting was to set up a communication group first, which was different from Shen Santong's expected immediate action.

After the meeting.

Shen Santong complained to Han Sanping: "Why do I feel like I'm being discriminated against? I said I can do it! Aren't we filmmakers and cultural people all trash?"

I can feel that other functional departments do not have much trust in the film industry.

Han Sanping's mouth twitched: "."

Talking nonsense.

When they parted, Han Sanping asked, "Did you disband the legal aid committee you established when you were working on The Promise?"

"Disbanded."

"It's a bit of a pity." Han Sanping didn't say much.

Shen Santong understood.

No matter what he says, it is a private enterprise, so just go for it.

11 1 Month 14 Day.

On behalf of Santong Entertainment Group, Shen Santong submitted a report to the Ministry of Commerce's WTO and Free Trade Zone Working Group.

Accusing European and American film and television companies, especially the major Hollywood companies in the United States, of joining forces to engage in suspected film dumping, discriminatory policies and market manipulation.

Shen Santong was interviewed by a reporter and complained excitedly: "Inception has been pirated and screened at least tens of millions of times online and offline in Europe and the United States. We import so many Hollywood blockbusters every year, but my movie cannot enter the European and American market!"

"We have been communicating with Hollywood, but have not received a response. Hollywood imported films are often screened in 20 to 30 locations, and Avatar is screened in 40 to 50 locations."

"What about us? They don't even give us a scale of screening!"

"We don't need to endure it any longer! Free trade! We must first fight against discrimination and be fair! Fair! Fair again!"

"Santong Entertainment is ready to take the case to the WTO. If Hollywood cannot give us equal treatment, I urge the government to also ban Hollywood movies from being shown in China based on the principle of equality!"

It has been five years since Kaizi Ge blasted the Big Six. During these five years, at least Santong Entertainment has made good use of the buffer period. It cannot be said that it can compete with imported films, but with the advantage of being a local home court, it can always be said that it can give it a try.

After five years of hard work, today is the time to test its sharpness!
My sword is not bad at all!
I will lead the charge!
