Chapter 69: Symposium (3/6)
(Come and read it to me, Lao Wang is short and small, small and short in vain...) )
The General Administration suddenly issued an order to let all the fresh meat pies gather in Hangzhou to organize a forum on the new power of Chinese films...
The previous one was held as an exhibition and sales promotion meeting of several major companies, and there is also a title: Unveiling the summer file!
But that's how well the propaganda works...
Last year, it didn't work.
This year, the General Administration may feel that it is necessary to correct the attitude of young filmmakers!
So, in conjunction with CCTV6, we held a new film new power symposium...
I hope that more young actors can learn good spiritual culture, discuss the problems of the current film industry, the trend of future films, learn the correct spiritual attitude towards the profession, and reflect on the problems of their own professional process.
It's easy to understand that there are many young filmmakers active in the film industry now, they have high attention, high box office appeal, and high influence, and young people will be more willing to pay attention to their works...
But their professional attitude is very problematic!
Moreover, the main force of this forum is the director and screenwriter, and the actors only account for a small part of the guests...
There were a total of six rounds of speeches, and the actors' speeches only accounted for one round...
……
Lu Xiaoran actually likes Wang Hailin a lot, and he is willing to talk about some chaos in the circle.
Most of his speeches focused on the TV drama market, exposing a lot of chaos, especially the phenomenon of buying ratings...
Then, he directly sprayed the tomb robbery genre film: "I think it's either that it can't be filmed, or it's in the wrong position, the best actors, the best companies are doing tomb robbery, and dozens of tomb robbery scenes are filmed a year, I think it's a shame, we are such a big country." In criminal law, it is 7-10 years for a strong woman to do it, and it is more than 10 years to rob a tomb... Together, they are prostitution and theft..."
"Those of us who are engaged in creation, in fact, each generation still has some inheritance, I am quite familiar with Zou Jingzhi's teacher, sometimes we will talk about these when we create together, Zou Jingzhi teacher said that he once felt very sad after watching a drama, he said that I have seen the abuse of the ancestors, but I have never seen such a happy abuse of his ancestors. ”
"After watching these films, young people may think that tomb robbing is quite good..."
"Culture is really inherited, if we don't speak, no one will speak!"
"Film and television works, what they like or don't like, everyone has this right, but to say whether a film and television work is good or bad, not everyone has this right, because there are standards for good and bad, and there are no standards for likes and dislikes. When it comes to film and television, we know what's good and what's bad, and we're going to tell them that this is what we should do in the next phase. ”
Lu Xiaoran frowned...
It's not that you can't criticize, but you say on this occasion that it's likely to cater to certain people, and then one size fits all, all tomb robbery genre pieces will be cut directly for you!
I won't let you shoot it!
This is the most feared situation for making movies, do you think that in order to avoid censorship, "Touching the Golden Captain" directly placed the background in ancient times, which is safe enough, right?
I also got a shooting permit, and I have been working hard for two years, and I am doing post-production, ready to be released...
And then it was a one-size-fits-all approach, and all works related to tomb robbing were banned from being released...
Where do you reason?
Don't think that this can't happen, think about the farming...
Lu Xiaoran stood up directly: "My real name is against Mr. Wang's words, one of the biggest characteristics of commercial movies is called hunting psychology, why Hollywood commercial movies can be popular globally, because they have achieved the ultimate in hunting psychology!"
"Most of the movies in the "Fast and Furious" series and "Marvel" are actually large-scale entertainment films!"
"In the same way, the reason why tomb robbery genre films are popular is because it meets a certain aspect of the audience's psychological needs, and this kind of film market has not been available before!"
"How many tomb robbery genre films have you watched? The theme of tomb robbery is mostly about adventure, and it has little to do with tomb robbery itself, and you can't object to it just because you stick to tomb robbery!"
"As for what you are talking about, dozens of films are made a year, it is even more nonsense, a good tomb robbery movie, at least 300 million yuan must be invested, so only a limited number of companies are doing it!"
"What our cultural management likes to do the most is to be one-size-fits-all, ban this subject at every turn, ban that theme, the audience doesn't have many choices, please give the film company more choices, don't point fingers at the subject matter anymore!"
"As for young people who will do bad things when they see the theme of tomb robbery... I think this is an insult to young people and an insult to China's legal education! Who doesn't know about the crime of robbing tombs?"
……
The real name has been scolded...
Of course, Lu Xiaoran is out of selfishness - Wang Hailin's manipulation is likely to lead to the failure of "Touching the Golden Captain" to be released normally!
It's more of a rebellion against the so-called 'authority'.
At this stage, the group of people who control the real power of the film are very old-fashioned, and they always feel that young people need ideological education...
Uncle, times have changed!
You banned movies and themes, you really can't help the audience's restless heart!
Of course, what Lu Xiaoran said afterwards was very positive: "There is a big error in film creation at this stage, and what many investors think is actually different from the needs of the public!"
"For example, some time ago there was a movie called "Beacon Fangfei", which tells the story of a Chinese widow and an American pilot... The box office was very low, and I knew a few screenwriters who said they couldn't understand the market, and they thought that this story would definitely be liked by young people..."
"You really don't know about young people! What kind of movies do mainstream audiences want right now?"
It is a film and television work that fully publicizes the pride of the nation and the country, and fits the theme of the great era of China's rise and national rejuvenation. And not that kind of... How can I say it, a work that satisfies the spiritual needs of Americans!"
"In recent years, I have found more and more strange phenomena, from the point of time, in 1949, the Chinese people stood up, and now it is 2017, we still have a group of people who can't stand up, feel that the moon abroad is relatively round, these people are not a few!"
"Take "Wolf Warrior 2" as an example, after the box office hit, many people on the Internet criticized Wu Jing for selling patriotic sentiments... I'm really speechless, what's wrong with being patriotic? The American "American Sniper" is also about patriotism, and he is the 2013 American box office champion, and "The Battle of Mingliang", the box office champion in Korean film history, what is it promoting?
"Literary and artistic works must fit the characteristics of the times, so as to burst out of unimaginable box office!"
"Similarly, I also think that the genre of literature and art can be relaxed a little, at least to achieve what Hollywood can introduce, we can also shoot, otherwise, we will always be tied up, and it is impossible to seize the market with them!"
"Okay, that's all I have to say. ”
Lu Xiaoran stepped down, and then there was applause...
