Chapter 597: Be a platform
The profession of directing, although it is art, is there any industry that has not been affected by capital? In other words, in this era, capital and interests can measure your value.
You say that you make literary films, and you look down on commercial directors, your literary and artistic standards are very high, and the movies you make have a good reputation, okay, what about the money? What about the box office?
No box office? That's not good! Otherwise, why doesn't anyone buy it? Why is it good to say that there is a huge market out there, and no one buys it?
Cameron is the king of the world at the box office of billions of dollars in a movie! Now Lin Ti's comprehensive box office is close to $20 billion, and he is the most high-profile director in the world.
In the past, it can be said that Hollywood has a developed level and started early, and we can't compare, but now that a Lin is tired, what excuse is there? The vast market has also opened, admiration is admiration, and in such a big era, who doesn't want to be coquettish? How can a man admit defeat? Especially those guys who are mixed up, how can they not be a little arrogant in their hearts.
"Director Lin, come, I toast you, I really admire you, Director Lin has contributed to such a good situation in domestic movies. ”
On the wine table, the bald Xu Zheng held up his glass and admired Lin Ti, admiration is really admiration, the figure of 20 billion US dollars is really powerless, but this representative feels that he is inferior.
He is also a man who has been the box office champion in China and has set records, and even he has a competitive spirit, wanting to hold back a movie to break the box office record of Lin Ti's "Alliance".
This kind of passion with opponents and goals is exciting.
Lin Ti picked up the juice and said with a smile, "Forgive me." ”
He couldn't drink at the beginning, and almost everyone in the circle knew about it, so no one forced him.
After three rounds of drinking, Huang Bo took the lead in talking about the topic, and said with a smile: "I really don't know what to say as a representative of this summit, the country is preparing to further standardize the film and television industry this time, Director Lin, what are you going to say?"
This is also one of the reasons why they asked Lin Ti to come out, whether he admits it or not, Lin Ti is already the most influential person in the Chinese film industry, he doesn't need to be gregarious, because everyone is staring at his every move to learn from him, maybe not a leader, but the weight is definitely not light.
They also wanted to find out what Lin Ti was going to say at the summit, and his words must have carried a lot of weight on it.
With Huang Bo's inquiry, the private room quieted down for a while, Ning Hao and Xu Zheng also looked at Lin Ti, and in the face of the gaze of the three of them, Lin Ti groaned for a while and said, "It's a little idea, and I don't know if it's appropriate." ”
"Hey, let's just put forward opinions, whether it's appropriate or not is considered above, right, Director Lin, you just say, let's also help the staff officers, and the three stinkers will also set a Zhuge Liang, right?" Huang Bo said with a smile, no matter what, the atmosphere was a little more lively when he said this, and Ning Hao and the others also echoed, Lin Ti no longer hesitated, and said with a smile: "That's the case, I think there are many places in our country's film industry that are not smooth, and the most important part of it is the script." ”
As soon as Lin Ti's words fell, everyone present suddenly thought about it, these three people are also directors who have done it, of course they will have some thoughts on this point, and they have some vague concepts when Lin Ti says it.
"That's right, when we film, the first thing we have to do is have a good script. Xu Zheng agreed, and Ning Hao also nodded and said: "This is so right, I sometimes can't find a satisfactory script for several years." ”
This is not an isolated phenomenon, many directors are often silent for a few years, not for anything else, but they can't find a satisfactory script, and in the end, they often choose a script that is not so bad for food, why for many directors there are only one or two masterpieces in their lives?
And a good script will make the director put in the effort, although the kind of script that is purely work will also put in the effort, but the feeling is different, girls will also look at the appearance of the object to determine the degree of makeup, right? That's what it means.
"Director Lin, what are you going to do? Xu Zheng also asked.
The directors in the circle either take the script handed over by the company, or let the screenwriter who knows each other help him write the script, and the source channels of the script are limited.
"This has to be solved from two aspects, the first must be that the state relaxes some of the standards of review, otherwise it will be knocked out if you write something, and second, this may need to be done by these companies and directors in the circle. ”
"You may also know the form of survival of screenwriters, first of all, the status is low, the income is meager, and the entry threshold is still high, some excellent screenwriters can't play their ideas at will, and the things they write may be usurped by their mentors or superiors or someone, and new screenwriters have no channel to deliver their works to those who need them. Lin Ti said a number of more realistic questions in a row, and the three of them nodded while thinking.
In fact, what Lin Ti said is not complicated, almost everyone in the circle knows it, but so what? Before that, they definitely didn't discuss these issues, and they didn't even think deeply about the screenwriter's problems, even if they thought about it, but they just thought about it, sighed and then forgot, otherwise what can they do? They themselves have a lot of problems.
But now that Lin Ti has taken out this problem, that is to say, he is ready to solve this problem, and this is the most important thing.
"I don't believe that we are such a big country, there are so many people, there is no screenwriter in it, it's like an online article, why is the development so good? is because the threshold is low, the things written face the public, you write well and there is a way out, countless ideas collide, golden ideas emerge in endlessly, crossing, rebirth, oriental fantasy, cultivating immortals, these elements are all used by our film and television industry in recent years, and online texts have replaced screenwriters to become the big rear of the film and television industry, so we must establish a channel for directors to directly see excellent scripts. ”
"Online texts have their limitations, they can be adapted into TV series, but there are too few suitable movies. ”
There is reason and evidence, what Lin Ti said is quite convincing to the three of them, think about it, if the restrictions in this aspect are relaxed, how many elements will be able to be made into a movie in the land of China? Let go of the restrictions of imagination and provide a direct channel to the producer, how many excellent works will emerge at that time?
Ning Hao couldn't help but asked solemnly: "What are you going to do?" You say it, if you think it's appropriate, we will help you talk about it when the time comes." ”
Lin Ti looked at the three of them and said solemnly: "We will come forward and cooperate with the official to make a screenwriting platform only for industry insiders." ”
