482, cottage to the end
Of course, many of the films are very profound and very good. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that what he doesn't understand is that "Forrest Gump", which lives in the same era and also shows the current situation of society, is completely different from domestic films.
The China depicted in these domestic films, which express human nature and social reality, gives people a sense of distance, strangeness, and difference. Although the films with a very "local" style have successfully left an impression on foreigners, they have left the impression of poverty and backwardness.
Li He doesn't mind them exposing the so-called family ugliness and leaking out the cultural inferiority complex that has been hidden for 5,000 years, after all, he is not a person who shy away from illness and medical treatment.
However, in this era of reform and opening up, if Chinese enterprises or Chinese want to go out to do business, real Chinese movies should be very Chinese spirit, and they must have a positive image.
What's more, there are already many people making this kind of film, so there is no need for him to follow the crowd to receive the salary of the war.
Sometimes he has to admit that Hong Kong films are much better than mainland films in conveying Chinese culture and ideas.
Successful Hong Kong filmmakers in the golden age used the modern art form of film to reproduce the values of traditional Chinese culture from many angles, and Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Bruce Lee consciously or unconsciously carried out state public relations, which can be regarded as contributing to China's external propaganda.
In the field of culture, this is a tough battle between countries, but China has always been at the level of the five scum of the war, and those who are abused should not be wanted. It was not until after the Olympic Games that China began to deliberately spend a lot of money on propaganda films and public relations for its national image.
So he would rather go to learn from Guo Xiaosi's classmates to shoot some exaggerated films of famous brand worship, drunken gold fans, brilliant lamp walls, mixed-race models, dog blood and tears, gorgeous costumes and stilts.
If the image of the country is right, as an individual, Thailand can be free to grab prawns, wash feet outside the Louvre, ride a golden bronze bull outside Wall Street, eat snacks in the Hong Kong subway, and speak loudly everywhere.
People have to praise you for being casual, enthusiastic, and informal!
Su Ming saw that Li He was a little moved, so he stepped up and said, "I have calculated it myself, if it is voted for some directors, the box office will definitely not be bad, and the most important thing is that I can also produce discs by myself, which is also a big input in profits." ”
Under the guarantee of the centralized planned economic system in the past, the last thing the film crew had to worry about was investment, only with the right to shoot, the investment would come down, and then from production to distribution, it was contracted by the state, and if it made money or not, the creative staff would rarely care, as long as they were famous.
Reform is taking place everywhere, and the film market is no exception.
China's institutional reform began in the countryside, and its magic weapon is the contract system, "one package is good", other industries have followed suit, and the film system is also following the trend.
The profit contract between the state and the film studio is a large contract, and the contract between the production and the camera crew is a small contract.
However, the contract system does not play a big role in the film system, and the benefits are still limited.
In recent years, it has become more and more difficult for large studios to mix, and they have begun to sell factory logos, most of which are independent productions in disguise, and most of the funds invested belong to private enterprises and individuals.
Although it is illegal to buy and sell factory labels in secret, everyone turns a blind eye.
The key point is that independent filmmakers make money, and the interests of all parties can be taken care of.
So this status quo gave Su Ming the opportunity, he has been in the tape industry for so many years, and he is no stranger to the film industry, which makes him a little eager to try.
"How much does a film cost?" Li He asked after thinking about it.
Su Ming said, "It's about 1 million." ”
Li He smiled and said, "With such a little money, you can invest it yourself, and you are still here to pull me into the fun." ”
"I want to be bigger, to formalize, and to invest in seven or eight films a year. "Su Ming is very self-sufficient in his current life, but it doesn't mean that he is willing. Fu Biao, Pan Song, and Ping Song have Li He's help, and they have been catching up with each other over the years, and they want to compare him!
So he understood more and more that if he wanted to be bigger, he still needed Li He.
Li He asked, "How much do you want me to invest?"
When Su Ming heard this, he immediately smiled, looked around left and right, and said with a smile, "Brother, you can invest 20 million, I will also invest 20 million, let's set up a film company, and one person will account for half of the shares." ”
Li He said, "I invested 40 million to account for 50%, but I have a request." ”
Su Ming said suspiciously, "Brother, you are scolding me when you say this! I will definitely listen to what you say! Su Ming asks for it!"
Li He waved his hand and said, "The relationship between the two of us belongs to feelings, but business must belong to business." I don't have a reason to make you lose money. ”
"How can you lose money!
"No, it's not. I mean, if you shoot the way I want, you might lose money. But my purpose in making movies is not to make money. ”
"Not making money?" Su Ming was even more incomprehensible.
Investment doesn't make money, so what's it for!
"Let's put it this way, no matter what kind of film you make, whether it's comedy, action, sci-fi, or horror, animation, thriller, crime, adventure, there is only one requirement, to imitate American films, and to shoot according to the elements of American films. "Li He can't talk about such things as American values, but he has decided to carry out the copycat business to the end.
Of course, movies relying on copycats may not be successful, for example, if "Titanic" is made by Chinese themselves, it may be filmed as "Green Tea Cheating Story" or "Cheating Marriage", and "Dream of the Covered Bridge" may also be made into a copy of Pan Jinlian.
Chinese audiences can accept this kind of movie only because the male and female protagonists are foreigners, and they are inclusive of cultural differences and think that they are foreign romances, but if this kind of plot takes place in China, it is definitely a thousand people.
Therefore, the probability of copycat American movies hitting the street is very large.
And many American blockbusters can't be copied, according to China's current film technology, the special effects of five cents can't be played well.
However, he still decided to play, just because, he can afford to lose and play.
Su Ming was shocked, "The shots in the American film are too much, right?"
The degree of confusion in the relationship between men and women in American movies still makes him a little unaccustomed.
"Gao imitation, it's not plagiarism! Do you understand? It's made in combination with China's national conditions and characteristics, aren't the script directors and actors all still domestic? I'm asking you to summarize the core values and elements in American films, and learn according to this routine, not to plagiarize the plot of American films. Li He casually explained, "If you don't understand, find someone who understands another day, and I'll talk to him." ”
