Chapter 593: The First Restricted Movie

While Qiao Feng was on the phone with Shi Nansheng, who was in the middle of the night in the Western Hemisphere, Shi Nansheng reported to Qiao Feng about the current negotiations between Sony and Coca-Cola and MGM, the voice of a secretary's question suddenly sounded outside the door.

Then I heard a familiar man asking, and then the secretary and the sound of blocking him.

"What's going on?" After the door was suddenly pushed open, Qiao Feng frowned and asked in a deep voice with his microphone.

"Mr. Qiao, this Mr. Mou insisted on seeing you..." Seeing that the boss was about to be angry, the secretary's eyes were so scared that he red from his eyes and hurriedly asked to explain.

"Mr. Qiao, has the things you promised me counted?" The man who broke in asked bluntly.

"Okay, I understand, you can go out when it's okay." At this time, Qiao Feng saw clearly the man's appearance and turned out to know him, so he waved his hand to the secretary and told him that it would be okay.

The one who broke in was Mou Dunfu, the director of Black Sun 731, and the director of Qiao Feng's silent Lambs. It's a pity that this person is filming something more realistic, so he recommended Chen Xiaodong's old bean Cheng Gang.

After the secretary carefully brought the door out, Qiao Feng smiled and took out the cigarette from the table and came out from the desk. He handed it to the other party and asked to slap it. The other party took the cigarette but didn't slap it. He still looked at Qiao Feng. Qiao Feng took one and slap it in a deep breath before laughing: "I, Qiao Feng, spoke, spitting and nailing. After that, what problems did you encounter when you released it?"

"Mr. Qiao promised to give Black Sun 731 two months to show, but now it's only one month, why do you have to finish the painting?" After Qiao Feng promised to keep his word, Mou Dunfu's expression improved a lot, and he accepted Qiao Feng's kindness to light the cigarette again, but after smoking a cigarette, he still questioned with anger.

Black Sun 731 was released on December 1st. The release schedule is actually not very good, but there is nothing we can do about it. No one wants to give such a movie during the good schedule.

The Hong Kong rating system, which had been turbulent for a long time, was finally released not long ago. From the public disclosure of the secret that Hong Kong film inspections were conducted without a legal basis last year, it caused a great shock to the Hong Kong Executive Council and the Legislative Council quickly established a special task force to review the newly proposed "Movie Inspection Bill" and include the "Three-level Film System" in this draft until November 10, 1988, the "[[1988 Film Inspection Bill]]" officially came into effect. It has been almost a year since the troubles have been made.

From this day on, Hong Kong also implements a "level one" system (approved for people of any age) and a "level two" system (approved for people of any age, but the promotional materials related to the film must indicate that "not suitable for children"). "level three" system (approved for people of eighteen years old) is "level three" system.

Then, unlucky, Black Sun 731 became the first movie to be classified into the third level.

"Level 3" (approved to be released for people over the age of 18), this article alone almost blocked one-third of the audience watching movies.

After all, movies are still a young entertainment program. When they are old, they are always more careful and do not have the energy to go to watch movies.

So, in fact, the people who watch movies are teenagers, and then there are more people in their twenties and thirties, and there are more people in their thirties and forties.

Now a hierarchical system directly blocks one-third of the movie, which means that one-third of potential audiences cannot watch this movie. It is also equivalent to one-third of the possible profits.

In this case, how could the theater chain that pursues profits be willing to play this movie?

Even if the film was filmed by Yindu Agency, a co-production between Hong Kong and the Mainland, the left-wing Shuangnan Cinemas are unwilling to screen this film in a very good schedule.

Of course, Shuangnan Cinemas is not released in good schedules not because of box office considerations, but because of diplomatic pressure. After learning that Yindu Agency had made such a film, the Japanese exerted pressure on the domestic market through diplomatic channels. Although it was not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was also an official way.

In addition, China and Japan are in a period of friendship at this time, and friendship is greater than the sky, so the Yindu agency can only understand the spirit and put the movie on a normal time period like December 1, and the screening will end on December 22 before the Christmas period arrives.

So, Mou Dunfu remembered Qiao Feng.

Because Qiao Feng was an angry young man in the original time and space, he learned the misery of the Chinese during the War of Resistance Against Japan since childhood, and even heard too many personal experiences from his grandmother at home.

Therefore, Qiao Feng was very supportive of Mou Dunfu for making such a film, and he also expressed his respect to Mou Dunfu.

Moreover, those living victims of the Chinese people have never initiated civil claims against Japan, which Qiao Feng doesn't want to see.

This is not only because the victims did not receive apology from Japan, but also because people from other countries in the world are not as clear about the despair and pain that the Chinese encountered during World War II.

Qiao Feng has been to Nanjing, both in the original time and space and the current time and space, and even to the Holocaust Memorial Hall, where he has seen the names of victims full of walls and the messy corpses in the pits of thousands of people... He has seen too many.

The more he read, the more he knew that more people should let go, and had more detailed and tingling knowledge about the grief of the Chinese people, the history, the violent experiences of Japan at that time.

Therefore, when Mou Dunfu came to Qiao Feng and hoped that Qiao Feng could also release the movie in Longteng Theater, Qiao Feng agreed without hesitation and promised to arrange as many films as possible in the first month of release.

After all, this Longteng Cinema is not owned by Qiao Feng, and he can do nothing about it, but Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun and others have to.

Therefore, Qiao Feng could only give the maximum screening schedule without touching too much of the interests of others. December, that is, two days before Christmas, so Qiao Feng gave the most screening schedules in December to Black Sun 731.

Then, Qiao Feng also promised that in January, no matter what the attendance rate is, a certain number of screenings will be arranged for Black Sun 731. Even if there is not a single person, at least one canvas will be scheduled to be displayed regularly.

This is Qiao Feng’s promise to Mou Dunfu, and it is also a promise to the millions of Chinese who suffered back then.

However, Mou Dunfu said that the movie that had been released for only one month is about to be painted.
