meeting room.



The senior executives of Daqin Company headed by Sisi are talking with the group headed by the visitor Zhou Xingxing.



The two sides are discussing things about the movie.



Suddenly the door of the conference room was pushed open.



"Director Zhou, welcome to Daqin"



Qin Dong took Mimi and pushed open the door of the meeting room, without any intention of knocking on the door. He greeted Zhou Xingxing with a smile as soon as he opened the door.



"Chairman"



Everyone in the company in the meeting room immediately stood up and greeted.



"Director Qin, long time no see"



Seeing Qin Dong, Zhou Xingxing politely stood up and said hello.



"Everyone sit down. Is Director Zhou here to discuss the release of the movie? The special effects of the movie are convenient. Director Zhou should have seen it. What do you think?"



Qin Dong waved to everyone, came to the conference table and took the seat that Sisi gave up, sat down next to the woman and asked directly.



Zhou Xingxing’s movie was invested and released by Daqin, and the special effects part was also taken down, but Qin Dong didn’t ask about the follow-up, and the special effects were handed over to Daqin Tiangong Special Effects Company, Qin Dong did not use artificial intelligence to do it. Special effects, totally unnecessary.



"The special effects are very good and fully meet my requirements. Our domestic special effects technology is actually not much worse than Hollywood. I am here today to discuss with your company about the release of the movie."



Zhou Xingxing smiled when he heard the words, it could be seen that he was very satisfied with the special effects of the movie.



"What is Director Zhou's planned release date?"



Qin Dong nodded, and asked again bluntly.



There is no implicit meaning at all, and I don't intend to talk about the past first and then talk about things slowly like a cliché. Qin Dong doesn't like that kind of way.



"I'm discussing with Director Qin's company about the release date. I'm thinking about the Spring Festival, and I'm still discussing the specific time. I think it will be released before the Chinese New Year, and it will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year at the latest."



Zhou Xingxing did not hide his thoughts, but also spoke out, which is also his style.



"Then on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I have a movie that is going to be released, and I plan to release it at the end of December, just to avoid it."



"Actually, I ordered the following people to make two versions of special effects for Director Zhou's movie, one of which has a mosaic, marked as a specific version for minors, to cover some bloody and scary scenes in the movie .”



"Journey to the West and the monkey were household names when we were young. Director Zhou's movies are still comedies, which cannot be avoided by minors, especially during the Spring Festival. At that time, children are the happiest time of the year and parents can take them out. "



Before Qin Dong came, he had thought of the reason, and at this moment he suddenly expressed his thoughts.



However, I didn't hide that the other party's own movie was going to be released, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings later, thinking that the distributor didn't do their best.



However, considering that many parents complained about this "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" in his previous life, Qin Dong put forward his own suggestion.



Because there is no age limit for moviegoers in domestic movies at present, and there is no detailed rating.



In the previous life, because it was an adaptation of Journey to the West, many children wanted to watch it, and the parents agreed to it. As a result, children were scared to cry. The movie was a bit bloody and scary, and many parents complained in the end.



This issue needs to be improved in the domestic film market. For example, Hollywood has made clear regulations a long time ago, and has different ratings for the films that are released. For restricted films, an ID card is required to buy tickets.



Hollywood movies have four levels, r, pg-13, pg, g.



R-level, also known as the restricted level, audiences under the age of 17 are required to be accompanied by parents or adults to watch - this level of film contains adult content, which contains more, violence, drug use/excessive gore and other scenes and swear words.When this type of film is released in some countries, it will be rated as a film that is prohibited for viewing under the age of 15 and 16.



PG-13 level, also known as special counseling level, children under 13 years old especially need to be accompanied by their parents to watch, some content is very inappropriate for children - movies of this level do not have rough and continuous violent scenes, generally no scenes, sometimes drug use Shots and dirty words.



The PG rating, also known as the normal rating, is recommended to be watched with the company of parents, as some images may make children feel uncomfortable.Tutorial grade, some content may not be suitable for children to watch-there is basically no, drug use and scenes in this grade, and the scenes are very brief, and the horror and violence scenes will not exceed the range of moderation.



G-level, which belongs to the public level, and can be watched by all ages. Popular level, which is suitable for people of all ages to watch-the content of movies at this level can be accepted by parents, and the film has no, scenes, and very few scenes of drug use and violence.Dialogue is also something that can be often encountered in daily life.



However, regulations are regulations, and in fact, they are often subject to discussion.



It’s like Hollywood’s regulations look good, but Hollywood has never fully implemented them, even if they are R-rated and pg-13-rated movies, but if you really pay attention to movies of this level, you will find violence, gore, nudity, and pornography in them. There are still many. This is the capitalist society. In order to make money, all regulations are made for outsiders to see.



For the sake of money, people don't care at all. Anyway, as long as the media is controlled so as not to report these things, people in other countries outside the world will know nothing. They really think that the behind-the-scenes figures in capitalist countries are good people.



"It's the first day of the new year. I thought about it at this time. It fits my idea. Yes, I agree. It's just a version for minors. Will this, Director Qin, affect the movie's box office?"



Hearing about the first day of the new year, Zhou Xingxing had no objection, and this time was also one of the time he decided after discussing with the company people.



But after hearing what Qin Dong said later, Zhou Xingxing hesitated a little.



He still values ​​money very much, and although he understands Qin Dong's words, because Hollywood is the leader of the global film industry today, people in the entertainment industry in most countries are actually familiar with Hollywood things.



I also understand that Hollywood movies have different ratings, but China has not yet made clear regulations in China. This kind of self-limiting movies is a private act, which can be done or not. Is it really necessary?Zhou Xingxing said that he needs to think carefully.



"Director Zhou, there are quite a few bloody and terrifying scenes in your movie, and these scenes are likely to cause children's discomfort."



"Winter vacation and Spring Festival, during this time period, we need to pay attention to minors, especially many of them are very young. Director Zhou's movie is Journey to the West. Currently, the characters most familiar to domestic children are definitely in Journey to the West. The characters, we, as the characters under the spotlight, have to set an example."



"As for the box office, if Director Zhou is worried, the Great Qin Empire can take over the movie and sign a package contract with each other. I wonder if Director Zhou and your company have estimated how much your movie's box office will reach?"



Qin Dong shook his head and explained his thoughts, which were his true thoughts.



Still the same sentence, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. After standing on a high ground, you can no longer only care about the immediate interests, but have a long-term mind and a long-term vision.



Just like in a certain period of time in the future, some top domestic businessmen, those rich people who are at the top of the domestic rich list, these people and the company are obviously so rich, but they don’t know how to set an example.



They are all standing at the top of the country. At this time, they should set an example for the people of the country, develop various cutting-edge technologies, export them to the outside world, etc., but the result is the opposite.



The saying that if you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. This sentence is absolutely justified.



However, this was Qin Dong's own idea, and he had no right to ask others to do so, so he changed his mind and proposed another method.



"Director Qin, wait a moment."



Zhou Xingxing hesitated when he heard the words, and looked at Tian Qiwen, the old man who had followed him for decades, who was also a personal assistant and part-time manager.



The two whispered to each other and discussed.



Zhou Xingxing was very surprised by Qin Dong's sudden proposal. He never thought about packing.



Zhou Xingxing has to pay attention again, although this is his movie, he can ignore Qin Dong's proposal.



But this film not only has Daqin’s investment, but also Daqin’s release. Within the mainland, Zhou Xingxing’s own company has no ability. Even if it is not released by Daqin, Zhou Xingxing still has to find other companies in the mainland. .



If you don't agree, it will be troublesome if Daqin's release is delayed. What's more, Zhou Xingxing is also Zhou Xingxing's choice to befriend Qin Dong, the most famous domestic director who has already entered Hollywood, and not to befriend such a person. will.



"Director Qin, our company has discussed this movie internally, and it is estimated that the movie's box office will be around [-] to [-] million."



After whispering secretly with Tian Qiwen for a few minutes, Zhou Xingxing stood up straight and looked at Qin Dong and said something, but he didn't say anything later, nor did he say whether he agreed with Qin Dong's thoughts.



"It really is this number."



Qin Dong whispered something to himself when he heard the words.



This number reminded Qin Dong of Zhou Xingxing in his previous life. At that time, Zhou Xingxing's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was looking for a distribution company called Brothers and Friendship.



But then the two sides filed a lawsuit. Seeing that the box office of the movie was too high, Brother Friendship Company was greedy for the benefits, so they turned their faces and took Zhou Xingxing's money.



In fact, it’s not too bad, but Zhou Xingxing was too naive, and was harmed by the technical flow text trap, which led to the conversation between the two parties who had nothing to save but did not sign a legally protected contract, because at that time Brothers and Friendship Company Choose drag and drop.



The sentence "Our chairman has gone abroad, let's sign the supplementary contract when he comes back." Just such a sentence was delayed, which made it impossible to sign the contract before the movie was released.



"[-] million to [-] million, how about it, Director Zhou, since you are hesitant about my thoughts, and my current status in the country, I don't want the movie to cause criticism from the people of the country. After all, children are the future, and all parents pay attention. Comedy movies During the winter vacation and the Chinese New Year, it is unavoidable for children to watch it."



Qin moved his finger on the table lightly, pretending to be thinking, pondered for a while, looked directly at Zhou Xingxing and said:



"In order for both of us to have a happy cooperation this time, Director Zhou's [Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons] can be packaged directly for Daqin."



"No matter how the film's box office ends up, whether it's less than [-] million or more than [-] million, our Daqin will settle the bill with Director Zhou based on the box office of [-] million. As for whether the final movie is less than [-] million or more than [-] million, whether it is a loss or a profit, these are all factors. We Daqin have endured it by ourselves, how about it?"



Seeing what Qin Dong said after thinking about it, Zhou Xingxing hesitated again.



This is also unexpected.



"How about this, Director Qin, how about giving us one night to think about this matter, come here today first, and talk about it tomorrow?"



Zhou Xingxing knew that this kind of thing could not be decided with a pat on the head, so he asked after thinking about it.



"Okay, no problem. In fact, the time can be longer. There is no need to rush, Director Zhou."



Qin Dong nodded, and finally looked like he was thinking about the other party.



"One night is enough, then, Director Qin, let's take our leave first and see you tomorrow."



Zhou Xingxing shook his head and rejected Qin Dong's kindness, stood up and said goodbye.



"Walk slowly."



Qin Dong also stood up and bid farewell politely.
