In the Dongyu Banquet Hall on the first floor of the International Conference Center, the roundtable meeting of the film and television, media and cultural industries was held as scheduled on the morning of the 9th.

Present with Tang An were Kong Deming, director of Hainan Provincial Radio and Television Station, Su Yantao, president of the United States Global Oriental and chairman of the Chinese American Film Festival, Han De, director of the Central Daily Research Institute, Mania, director of the Yindu New Generation Media Development and Planning Department, Wang Fanghuai, chairman of China.com, Zhou Yongqiang, president of Xinjiapo New Media Group, and other directors, as well as directors of radio and television stations in Southeast Asian countries.

Wang Gengnian, member of the party group of the State Radio and Television and director of the International Radio and Television Station, presided over the meeting as the chairman of the meeting.

The main topics are film and television, media, culture, innovation and responsibility in the digital age.

There was a host at the meeting, and he introduced the crowd first, except for the Chinese, most of the others were the directors of a country's radio and television station, which is equivalent to the level of the director of CCTV in China, and even the level of the optoelectronic boss.

However, these countries in Southeast Asia are far from being compared with China.

Put on the headphones and select Chinese for the simultaneous interpreter.

Nowadays, some important international conferences use the method of simultaneous interpretation, and larger meetings do not need to be interpreted.

You don't need to speak English, you can speak Chinese and Alabai, there will be special people who will relay them in different languages at a frequency of three or four seconds behind the speaker.

Each seat is equipped with headphones and simultaneous interpreters, and you can choose one of the six major languages of Chinese, English, Arabic, French, Russian, and Spanish.

It's also equivalent to dubbing, but it's a lot more demanding, after all, the interpreter doesn't know what the speaker will say, and it's even more difficult if he encounters someone who speaks too fast and has a bit of dialect or slang.

Chairman Wang Gengnian's speech:

Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, on behalf of the organizers of the conference, Boao Forum for Asia and China Radio International, I would like to extend my warmest welcome to all the delegates and guests who have come to this conference

The theme of the Media Leadership Conference was the Innovation and Responsibility of Media in the Digital Age, reflecting people's concerns about the development and transformation of the media industry in the new era. I hope to build a platform for exchanges and cooperation between the media, release new development momentum, and realize the good wishes of common development!

The two-hour round table is not long, it is not short, no one has to say a large paragraph, and there is basically not much nutrition.

It was Tang An's turn, "The Internet digital era is a new era for cultural media, and it also means new opportunities and new hopes.

With the rapid economic and social development and the rapid progress of science and technology, the transmission and acquisition of information is becoming faster and faster, and the development of digitalization and networking has spread to all aspects of life, the global media industry has experienced unprecedented profound changes, and opportunities and challenges coexist.

In this era, we are facing new difficulties, and users are able to receive more and more news and messages, and they are getting faster and faster.

For example, the impact of online media on paper media, the income continues to deteriorate, and the current priority of paper media around the world is to please this status quo.

As an example, South Korea's JoongWeekend is a Sunday-only newspaper with a circulation of about 120,000 points, and this newspaper consists of high-level analytical news and commentary on global politics, economic trends, culture, entertainment, and other fields.

The target audience is the elite who relax at home on Sundays, and if you look at this newspaper, you can see very clearly all the events of the week.

With the increasing number of channels to receive news, the masses do not necessarily have to receive news through newspapers, and then paper media needs to be more professional and purposeful, and create content specifically for the audience why they buy newspapers.

Like paper media, the same is true for film and television dramas, now a film and television drama is released, at most two days, and word of mouth can spread to any corner of the Internet.

Film and television dramas also need to be professional and purposeful, such as a comedy, if it is released at the beginning, many viewers' comments on the Internet are about how funny the movie is, which can attract potential viewers of the film.

Whether it is newspapers, magazines, radio, television, movies, it is very important to grasp the core selling point and grasp the accurate audience, which is inseparable from the Internet industry, we also need the support of cloud computing and big data, and the digital age has affected every aspect of the media industry in an all-round way. ”

It's also a non-nutritious speech, but it's very standard, and the tone and speed of speech feel more and more similar to the leader.

Take a break at noon, and in the afternoon, it will be a sub-venue for the film and television cultural industry.

The situation has changed, it is not a round table, in addition to Tang An, there are three cultural figures and a host on the stage, and then there are a number of people from related industries and many reporters sitting in the audience.

It's an interview.

The moderator was Hu Wei, a reporter from the Beijing News, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting started on time.

"Good afternoon, all the guests on the scene, welcome to the Boao Forum Cultural Branch today"

I will introduce the four people on the stage one by one, Tian Bin, chairman of Xinhuanet, Yang Gongda, professor and famous cultural scholar of Qinghua University, and Meng Shengli, director of the National Cultural Innovation Research Center of Fudan University.

Two famous university professors and scholars, a CEO of Xinhuanet, and a CEO of a film and television company, this configuration is really a bit strange.

In the past few years, few representatives of the film and television industry have attended, and occasionally there are actor representatives to go through the motions.

What's more, in this cultural sub-venue, although film and television practitioners were also regarded as cultural workers back then, the cultural circle despises the film and television industry today when film and television dramas are becoming more and more commercialized.

A large number of experts, professors, and scholars in the audience watched a film and television company CEO sitting on the stage at the bottom of the contempt chain, but they could only be offstage, and they felt a little uncomfortable.

Tang An was the last to speak, there was no way, and he didn't have any opinions, so he listened to the three of them finish speaking one by one.

Tian Bin, president of Xinhuanet, said: We must promote the Internet-based transformation of traditional literary and artistic institutions and literary and artistic workers, have a larger digital platform and space, and give full play to the positive role of new literary and artistic organizations, literary and artistic groups, and literary and artistic platforms, and jointly build a new way of cultural production.

Qinghua Professor Yang Gongda said: Social order cannot only be maintained by law, but also by humanistic education.

Meng Shengli, Director of the National Cultural Innovation Research Center of Fudan University: Promote public opinion with cultural sameness.

The two university professors are quite lofty, and they are a bit fake.

It is too early to talk about maintaining social order through humanistic education, when the law cannot restrain the people.

The same culture promotes the common opinion of the people, and it seems that there is something, but it seems that nothing is said.

That is, the boss of Xinhuanet said something practical, the transformation of literary and artistic workers and literary and artistic institutions into the Internet.

However, there is no plan, just say that it is necessary to transform, and after the transformation, with a larger platform, you can launch more, better, and better excellent works that can better meet people's growing spiritual and cultural needs.

It's just shouting slogans, and there is nothing practical, and I have heard this kind of thing every day for the past two days.

It's time for Tang An, and everyone at the scene still wants to hear what Tang An can talk about in the film and television industry.

"As a film and television worker, I have been committed to spreading our unique Chinese culture to the world through film and television dramas, so that more Chinese culture can be known and understood by foreign audiences."

There was nothing to say, so Tang An memorized the prepared manuscript, and the four or five hundred words were quickly finished.

One person said a paragraph, and the host Hu Wei began to randomly ask people in the audience to speak and ask questions.

A middle-aged fat man with glasses asked Tang An.

"Hello Mr. Tang, just now you said that you want to spread Chinese culture through film and television dramas, so how much do you know about Chinese culture?"

According to the rules, at least the first one should ask the CEO of Xinhuanet, after all, it is owned by Xinhua News Agency, and it is also one of the organizers of the Boao Forum.

The person who came was not good, Tang An knew it as soon as he looked at the eyes of some people in the audience.

A group of cultural workers, just a person in the entertainment industry who makes movies, are a bit out of place.

Just like those who make movies look down on those who make TV series, and those who do TV series look down on those who do online dramas, any industry has a chain of contempt, not to mention that the entertainment industry was originally considered a cultural worker.

Before Tang An entered the arena, he heard these people talking about him behind his back, and there was nothing good to say.

Even when two people were talking, Tang An was around, but they didn't recognize it.

Tang An is a director after all, and these people are not fans who watch movies every day, so it is normal for them not to recognize them.

Even if Ma Yun, Ma Huateng, Li Hongyan, Lei Jun, Ren Zhengfei, Liu Dongqiang, Zhang Jingdong and other business tycoons who frequently appear on the scene, it is difficult for ordinary people to recognize them immediately when they encounter them on the street.

Except for Ma Yun, it is estimated that ninety-nine out of a hundred can be recognized at a glance, after all, they are too recognizable.

Tang An said with a smile, "I think culture should be people-oriented, and any behavior of people is related to culture all the time." ”

Tang An's answer obviously did not satisfy the people in the audience, and many people even began to criticize it in a whisper.

"A film director, what culture do you know!"

"It's ridiculous, why did the organizers ask him to come on stage. ”

"It's this Tang An, who has been making some meaningless movies in the past few years, and even the current movies are becoming more and more kitsch!"

The contempt for the entertainment industry, as well as the gap between one on and off the stage, many people are quite unhappy in their hearts.

As soon as Tang An finished speaking, the middle-aged fat man began to correct Tang An's statement and began to talk a lot.

I am afraid that Mr. Tang's statement is a little wrong, culture is the sum of all the social phenomena of the wisdom group and the inner spirit of the group, inheritance, creation and development.

Culture encompasses the history of the intelligent community from the past to the future, and is the content of all activities of the group based on nature. It is the inner whole of all the material appearances and spirits of the group.

Culture can be divided into three aspects: material culture, institutional culture and psychological culture.

This long talk is familiar to Tang An.

Since it is a cultural forum, Tang An has also checked some information, and he has definitely read these words in many articles.

The contempt in the eyes of these people was almost engraved on their eyes, and Tang An was not polite, and directly interrupted him.

"This gentleman can stop, I don't think your own understanding of what you said, just search one of the sentences in Baidu, and you can find the original words. ”

The middle-aged fat man's face changed slightly, "What do you mean, Mr. Tang?"

Tang An didn't answer, but turned to the host next to him, Hu Wei, and said, "Can you trouble the host to search on the Internet?"

Hu Wei glanced at the boss of Xinhuanet, and saw that he didn't have much reaction, so he immediately used his laptop to casually search for the words of the person just now.

On the big screen behind him, Baidu searched, and the whole paragraph of the article containing what the man just said immediately came out, which was obvious.

Tang An said, "These are all summarized by predecessors, in my opinion, you don't know much about culture, endorsement should not be considered culture, otherwise I memorized all Lu Xun's books, wouldn't I also become a writer." ”

The man's face was swollen and red, but he couldn't find the words to refute it, so he could only sit down stupidly.

Many experts and scholars in these years are the same, after all, there is a lot of plagiarism in graduate theses, doctoral and postdoctoral theses.

Tang An Zhengse said, "We eat rice is culture, Westerners eat beef is culture, ancient Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn, Warring States period, we use knives and forks is culture, Westerners at the same time with hands is culture, and then knives and forks are eliminated, we switch to using chopsticks is culture, Westerners also slowly change from hand to hand to use knives and forks, this is still culture." ”

As the largest film and television production company in China, it is my responsibility and mission to spread Chinese culture, and it is also the responsibility of all film and television workers. ”

"It's still like this, then why have you never made a literary movie, Mr. Tang?"

Again questions were raised.

"Why do I want to make a literary movie?" Tang An asked rhetorically.

"Because commercial films have no artistic value at all!"

Tang An asked again, "Then may I ask, what is artistic value?"

"Artistic value refers to the artistic personality and style of the author represented by a work of art, as well as the national and regional characteristics reflected!"

Tang An shook his head, "Many people don't understand what artistic value is, when it comes to a movie, as long as the public likes to watch it, it is kitsch and vulgar in the eyes of some people, but some niche movies, maybe he didn't understand it himself, in order to show his level, praise it as art!"

Now the so-called artistic value has gone too far, and it is ridiculous to begin to indulge in petty bourgeoisie and alternative art and regard this as the whole of "artistic value".

Tang An's words overturned a boatload of people with a rod, and many cultural workers on the scene saw it like this, and even they didn't watch many movies, some of them didn't see it, as long as they heard that the box office was high, they criticized it.

However, Tang An was not in the mood, and he didn't have time to talk nonsense with these people, it was a waste of saliva.

Without waiting for them to refute, Tang An continued, "Many years ago, Premier Zhou made a wonderful speech at the Symposium on Literary and Artistic Work and the Feature Film Creation Conference, in which he criticized the Vice Minister of Culture and China.

He said: "A deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture and China went to western Sichuan and said that Sichuan opera was backward. At that time, a comrade replied: It is up to the 70 million people in western Sichuan to answer and decide whether to lag behind or not. I think this comrade is very brave and has answered well! The people like to hear it, but if you don't like it, how old are you? Our words are unreliable, and everyone has their own hobbies, so how can they be used as a standard? Art needs the approval of the people, and as long as the people like it, it has value. ”

"Here, I also want to send Premier Zhou's words to all of you here, art needs to be approved by the people, as long as the people love it, it has value!"

The scene was silent, Tang An had moved Premier Zhou out, what else could he say.

Looking at the group of people in the audience who were a little angry, Tang An didn't have any happiness in his heart.

Tang An never cared about what these people liked to say, he just didn't want to talk nonsense, he never thought about reversing these people's views, whether they liked it or not had no impact on Tang An's dime, every time the movie was released in the past few years, those troublesome voices Tang An also automatically filtered, jumped if he loved it, and he didn't even bother to scare about it.

was interrupted by Tang An like this, and it was much more harmonious later, and Tang An also handed over the meeting scene to the other three, occasionally making a noise, and then returning to the scene of talking.

It's really boring, after the meeting, Tang An was about to go back to the hotel, but the host Hu Wei found him.

Hu Wei was the founder of Mobike, and he was looking for investment.

Tang An listened to her thoughts, PPT didn't have time to read it, let her go back to the capital to find the group's investment and development department, this level of angel round, the following people can decide.

After playing in Boao for a few days, Tang An returned to the capital on the 12th.

In terms of film editing, a professional editor will first sort out all the materials, and Tang An will have to edit it himself after a while.

In mid-April, two major events also occurred, with Xinli Media as the main body, Tengxun officially established Penguin Film and Television, and fully entered the film industry.

Ye Tuo, vice president of Wanda Cultural Industry Group, officially resigned and was replaced by Jiang Defu, the former general manager of China Film Marketing Branch, and Ye Twist then joined Huayi as vice president of Huayi and president of Kyushu Distribution.

These two events were foreshadowed, and there is nothing surprising about them.

In the past few days, Tang An has followed up on the progress of several investments, and asked the Investment Development Department to acquire and apply for some licenses, there are too many licenses needed to do finance, more than ten kinds of licenses, and they can be taken as soon as possible while they are cheap.

He also met with several local private enterprise giants in Beijing to discuss the establishment of private banks.

In addition, I also went to the executive deputy minister of the Xuanyu Department to ask about entering the Xiangjiang Cinema Line to see if the above could give some support.

So many things, a week or two passed in the blink of an eye.

On April 24th, close to May Day, there are two new films, "Frozen: The Gate of Rebirth" and "You at the Same Table" will be released on the same day.

The former is a magical action, sci-fi comedy, and romance blockbuster produced by several medium-sized film and television companies, starring popular stars Donnie Yen and Wang Baoqiang, and is released by Lay's.

The latter is a youth film jointly invested and distributed by Guangxian and Wanda.

In the evening, Tang An also took the time to come to CBD Wanda to participate in the premiere of "You at the Same Table".

Of course, the main thing is to meet Jiang Defu, the trusted helmsman of Wanda Pictures, Tengxun has just cooperated with Guangxian, and it is estimated that some people will go.

Sure enough, Jiang Defu appeared in person, Yu Dong came, and Sun Huaizhong, the president of the newly established Penguin Film and Television, also came.

Several major companies have almost arrived, and it's not surprising that Fan Luyuan of Ahri didn't come, but Wang Zhongjun didn't come either, it was Wang Zhonglei who came.

Tang An asked with a smile. "Mr. Wang, it's rare for everyone to be so together today, and Wang Dong didn't come so much?"

Wang Zhonglei said, "He went to "Frozen: The Gate of Rebirth", and Director Cao invited. ”

This film has German investment in the International Culture Film Industry under the International Division of Radio and Television, and said that the leader invited it in the past.

However, several people also knew why Wang Zhongjun went there, so Yu Dong smiled and said, "It is estimated that Wang Dong is going to see how the combination of Donnie Yen and Wang Baoqiang works, and in the second half of the year, Huayi will also have a "One Man's Martial Arts" released, which is also starring Donnie Yen and Wang Baoqiang." ”

Donnie Yen is the best mixed in the Mesozoic generation of Xiangjiang, and the "Ip Man" series has laid a lot of popularity and word of mouth, although the later movies are average, but they have not had a great impact.

The box office of "Havoc in Heaven" exceeded 800 million, but the reputation was relatively poor.

But even so, "Rebirth: Frozen Gate" and "One Man's Martial Arts" are all action movies, and Wang Baoqiang is also a star, so he still has more potential.
