Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 593 The First Restricted Movie
Qiao Feng was talking on the phone early in the morning with Shi Nansheng, who was in the middle of the night in the Western Hemisphere. When Shi Nansheng reported to Qiao Feng about the current negotiations between Sony and Coca-Cola and MGM, the secretary's questioning voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
Then I heard a question from a familiar man, and then the secretary answered and blocked.
"What's going on?" After the door was suddenly pushed open, Qiao Feng frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"Mr. Joe, this Mr. Mou insists on seeing you..." Seeing that the boss was going to be angry, the secretary was so scared that her eyes were red, and she hurried to explain.
"Mr. Joe, did the things you promised me still count?" the man who broke in asked bluntly.
"Okay, I see, you can go out if it's okay." At this time, Qiao Feng saw the man's appearance clearly, and he knew him, so he waved his hand to the secretary to signal that it might be OK.
It was Mou Dunfu who broke in, the director of Heiyang 731, and the director of the Silent Lamb that Qiao Feng preferred. It's just a pity that this is now shooting more realistic themes, so I recommended Chen Xiaodong's old beanie Cheng Gang.
After the secretary carefully took the door to go out, Qiao Feng smiled and took out the cigarette from the table and then came out from behind the desk. He handed a cigarette to the other party and asked to order it. The other party took the cigarette but didn't order it and looked at it. Qiao Feng Qiao Feng grabbed a stick and took a deep breath before he smiled: "I, Qiao Feng, spit on a nail when I talk. After all, what's the problem with the screening?"
"Mr. Qiao originally promised to give Black Sun 731 two months of screening time, but now it's only one month, why do I have to paint it?" After Qiao Feng promised to speak his words, Mou Dunfu's face improved a lot. , Also accepted Qiao Feng’s kindness to light a cigarette again, but after taking a puff of cigarette, he still asked angrily.
Black Sun 731 was released on December 1. The release schedule is actually not very good, but there is no way, no one is willing to give such a film with a good schedule.
The Hong Kong grading system, which has been raging for a long time, was finally released not long ago. From last year’s English-language "Asian Wall Street Journal" publicly revealed that Hong Kong film censorship was conducted without a legal basis, which caused a great shock to the Hong Kong Executive Council and the Legislative Council. A task force was quickly established to review the newly drafted "Film Censorship Bill" and include the "Film Censorship Bill" in this draft until November 10, 1988, "[[1988 Film Censorship Bill]] "Officially effective, almost the matter has been noisy for more than a year, but the dust has settled.
Hong Kong has also implemented "Level 1" (approved to be screened for people of any age) and "Level 2" (approved to be screened for people of any age from this day, but the film-related promotional materials must indicate "not suitable for children" )."Three-level" (approved to be screened for people over the age of 18).
Then, unfortunately, Black Sun 731 became the first movie to be classified to the third level.
"Level 3" (approved to be screened for people over the age of 18), this one alone has almost blocked one third of the movie audience.
After all, movies are still a younger entertainment show. Those who are older are always more careful with their budgets, and they don’t have the energy to go to the movies.
So, actually the people who watch movies are teenagers, and then there are more people in their 20s and 30s, and more people in their 30s and 40s.
The current grading system directly loses one-third, which means that one-third of potential audiences cannot watch the movie. The same is equivalent to one-third of the possible profit.
Under this circumstance, how can a movie theater line chasing profits be willing to release this movie?
Even if the film was shot by Yindu Institution, a co-produced film between Hong Kong and the Mainland, the leftist Shuangnan Cinemas was unwilling to show the film on a too good schedule.
Of course, the fact that Shuangnan Cinemas was not released at a good time was not because of box office considerations, but because of diplomatic pressure. After learning that the Yindu Institution had made such a film, the little devil put pressure on the country through diplomatic channels.
In addition, at this time, China and Japan are in a friendly period, and the friendship is greater than the sky. Therefore, the Yindu Institution can only grasp the spirit and put the movie on the general time period of December 1st, and it will be ten days before the Christmas schedule. The screening ends on February 22.
So Mou Dunfu thought of Qiao Feng.
Qiao Feng was an angry youth because of the original time and space. During the Anti-Japanese War, the tragedies of the Chinese were taught since childhood, and he has heard too many personal experiences from the pacifier at home.
Therefore, Qiao Feng is very supportive of Mou Dunfu's filming of such a film, and he also expressed respect to Mou Dunfu.
Moreover, the Chinese civilians who are still alive have never initiated private claims against Japan, which Qiao Feng does not want to see.
It is not only that the victims cannot get the Japanese apology, but also that people in other countries in the world are not so aware of the despair and pain that the Chinese suffered during World War II.
Qiao Feng has been to Nanjing no matter it is in the original space-time or the current space-time, and the original space-time has been to the Holocaust Memorial Hall, where he has seen the names of the victims and the messy bones in the mass graves. .... He saw too much.
The more he sees, the more he knows that more people should be allowed to walk, and he will have more detailed and soul-stricken understanding of the tragic history of the Chinese people and the tragic experience of Japan at that time.
Therefore, when Mou Dunfu approached Qiao Feng and hoped that Qiao Feng could also show the film on Longteng Cinemas, Qiao Feng did not hesitate to agree, and promised to give as much as possible in the first month of its release. Arrange more films.
After all, this Longteng theater is not owned by Qiao Feng alone. He can take no benefits, but Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, and Lei Juekun have to.
Therefore, Qiao Feng can only arrange the most films without touching too many other people’s interests. December, which is two days before Christmas, is crowded with people. Therefore, Qiao Feng has arranged the most films in December. Give the black sun 731.
Then, Qiao Feng also promised to arrange a certain number of films for Black Sun 731 during the month of January, regardless of the attendance rate. Even if there is no one, he will arrange at least one canvas for regular screenings.
This is Qiao Feng's promise to Mou Dunfu, and also a promise to the tens of thousands of Chinese who suffered in those years.
However, Mou Dunfu said that a movie that had been released for only a month was about to be drawn.
"What, let me paint? I never let me paint?" Qiao Feng was stunned. This was what he had especially told. Who was able to paint Black Sun 731 when he didn't have any other instructions. ?
