Chapter 602: The Wind
On the first day, the big guy spoke, and then there was a symposium.
Xu Fei walked into the venue again, touched the teacup, and shouted again: "Comrade, comrade?"
"Do you want jujubes?" asked the young lady with a smile.
"Well, plus two. ”
Han Sanping was embarrassed yesterday, but when he saw him today, he said, "Give me one too." ”
"Okay, wait a minute. ”
A room full of people squinted and squinted, and Mr. Xu held jujube tea, which was beautiful as usual.
It didn't take long for the symposium to begin. Sun Leader of Radio and Television presided over and said: "Yesterday, Comrade XX and Comrade XX made important speeches. Today, we will have a comprehensive discussion on the content of the speech.
Let me start with that.
In recent years, with the influence of various trends of thought in society, the mainstream of film creation has often been disrupted. Some of the works are far from the real life of the masses, pursuing non-mainstreaming, marginalization, and cultural consumerism.
Downplaying patriotism, heroism, collectivism, and even turning the film into an outlet for personal extremism or a diagram of narrow concepts.
There are also works that blindly cater to the vulgar emotions of some audiences, with low aesthetic taste, and so on.
The reason for this is that the question of 'what kind of spirit should be promoted in the film' has not been solved, and the problem of the distinction between high and low artistic taste in film art and the distinction between literature and field has not been solved. ”
“......”
Xu Fei turned his pen at the bottom, thinking about other things in his head.
In the mid-to-late 90s, the sixth generation made a collective appearance, except for a few people such as Guan Hu, the rest were all banned, the so-called "marginalization".
The masters are enthusiastic and politically in charge, like "Xiao Wu", they can be labeled as "affecting my country's normal foreign cultural exchanges".
These directors are also reluctant to submit for review.
In fact, many works can be released in operation. For example, "Suzhou River" tells a pitiful love story, much like the bad guy's male protagonist died in the end, which is in line with evil and evil retribution.
Bad luck just happened to hit this period. If it was at the beginning of the 2,000th year, "Suzhou Creek" would be nothing, and it would have passed the trial directly.
This is also the reason for the sharp decline in the output of domestic films: it is not easy to pass the review when filming others, there is no subsidy, and it loses money, so I simply stop filming.
After Leader Sun finished speaking, everyone expressed their opinions, mainly focusing on "improving quality and producing more high-quality products".
The director of Changying Studio said: "If there are high-quality products, there will be a market, and if there is a market, there will be benefits." The current problem is that there are too few high-quality products to form a shock wave. So fight against the water, and produce more high-quality products. ”
The director of Beijing Film Studio read his own draft.
Emei Factory also said: "Now the radio is cold, the TV is hot, and the movies are difficult, so we must take more high-quality products as the driving force." ”
Xiaoxiangchang said: "Movie boutique is a symbol of a country's film development level, representing the direction of film prosperity. It is imminent to grasp the high-quality products!"
Wow!
Teacher Xu couldn't help clapping his hands and said well.
followed by a discussion of the standard of high-quality products, what kind of movies are considered high-quality movies.
Liu, the new director of the Film Bureau, said: "The content should be quintessence, the art should be exquisite, the production should be excellent, and it should be loved by the masses." This year, we will produce about 30 excellent films, 10 of which will be called masterpieces. ”
The great director Xie Tieli said: "Comrade XX is very accurate, the unity of ideology, art department, and ornamentation!"
Gui Provincial Studios said: "Movies must be realized through the intermediary of aesthetics, and films with pale characters and rough art, even if they are right-minded, the audience will not like them."
Therefore, it is necessary to appreciate the elegance and vulgarity, and blend reason. ”
Zhang Zien was also present, belonging to the Western Film Studio, and said: "Movies are spiritual products and commodities, and they should be shot well." ”
Huang Jianzhong, the director of "Chinese New Year", said: "To produce high-quality products, you must go deep into life, get close to the masses, and there is no other shortcut. ”
“......”
Xu Fei was bored and wrote down a few paragraphs in his notebook.
It is roughly divided into three groups: one is Director Liu, who is a fake big empty, the second is the Gui Provincial Studio, which is flexible in thinking but does not understand the market demand, and the third is Zhang Zien, who understands in his heart and does not dare to say it.
What do you say? It's entertainment!
He didn't dare to talk about it, he only said that he wanted to shoot it well.
After discussing for a long time, Leader Sun was also recording, and found that most of them were similar, so he directly named and said: "Xiao Xu, you talk about it as a private representative." ”
"Well, all the teachers and seniors are right. It's just that I have some doubts, and I would like to ask for your advice......"
Everyone is cautious, why are you confused again???
"Let's assume that the scene is the preparatory meeting for a high-quality movie, what do we all need to prepare?"
"That's good, start from reality. Leader Sun agreed.
"Then I'm throwing bricks and leading the way, since I want to make high-quality products, first of all, it must be the main theme, revolution, heroic models, the masses, and realistic themes.
If I want to apply for various grants, will I be inclined to revolutionary themes?"
"We have a fine tradition and rich experience in producing works on revolutionary historical themes, not to mention the different costs, so we will give appropriate support. ”
"So what content do we shoot and what are we choosing?"
"Artistic. ”
"Spirit. ”
"The crowd loves it. ”
"Okay, how do you know the crowd likes to watch this?"
“......”
“......”
"I think this logic is a bit reversed, and when the movie is released, I don't know if the masses like it. I haven't filmed it yet, so I know that the masses must like it.
I agree with director Huang Jianzhong's statement that it is necessary to have an in-depth understanding, at least to investigate and investigate, and then talk about the masses. ”
"Xiao Xu, you may not know much. Nowadays, some viewers are not aesthetically pleasing and like vulgar and harmful things. We need to guide their values!" said one leader.
"Well, it's my inexperience. ”
Xu Fei nodded and said, "Then we have prepared a high-quality movie with high artistry, rich spirit, and liked by the masses." Is its box office one of the criteria for measuring its success?"
"Xiao Xu, you are commercialized. ”
"When private capital is more, its thinking is like that of a businessman. ”
"Yes, movies can't be box office alone. ”
"But we knew before we filmed it, why is the box office still low when the masses like it? Isn't it a paradox?"
“......”
"Alright, alright. ”
Leader Sun played a round and said: "We have always emphasized the unity of the three sexes, and the main theme can also be very good-looking, so that the audience likes it." This is something that everyone agrees on......"
He paused suddenly, and said, "Xiao Xu, you have asked so much, it seems that you have prepared a work?"
"Well, just a little bit of an immature idea. ”
"Let's hear it, didn't Director Xie also say at the conference that he wanted to shoot "Opium War"?"
"Don't dare, "Opium Wars" is a huge work, and I can't compare. ”
"Well, too much humility is pride. ”
Leader Sun is really interested in this guy who took out "Love Call Transfer", "Sunny Day" and "Party A and Party B", with a cumulative box office of 150 million.
There was no way, Mr. Xu had to say: "I'm a medium production, hey, is the theme of spy warfare the main theme?"
"Of course!"
"Underground workers deserve more praise. ”
"That's good. I plan to work with Hong Kong filmmakers to co-produce a main theme work, I dare not say that I dare not say that it is a little bit of my personal heart, and pay tribute to those unsung heroes. ”
"Is there a title?"
"The Wind". ”
(And ...... )
