"Tang Dong has lofty ambitions, the concept of heavy industry films is currently not available in China, and even the complete film industry system is not perfect enough. ”

At the banquet, the CEOs of several major companies congratulated Tang An one by one, and they also sighed.

Tang An said with a smile, "It's not that we can't do a complete film industry system now, and we haven't done it ourselves."

After so many years of workshop-style production, the film has still been filmed, and our directors and producers have long been accustomed to it, and doing it according to the Hollywood industrial system may make the crew a little uncomfortable and thankless, so they have always paid attention to it. ”

The word workshop made several CEOs look a little bad, and our companies are all small workshops, and you Hantang is on the right track.

Wang Zhongjun said, "It's still Tang Dong who has seen far, and he is ready to connect with Hollywood, so we are really a small workshop." ”

As soon as Wang Zhongjun said this, the others were even more unhappy, but they still smiled on the surface.

Tang An said, "Wang Dong is wrong, although our current film industry system is not perfect, it is not a small workshop, Wang Dong should not be arrogant." ”

"Now Chinese films are at a turning point, a complete industrial system is not something that a few companies can do, in that case, Chinese films are still not formal enough, which requires the efforts of all filmmakers. ”

Tang An choked Wang Zhongjun back with a word, and Wang Zhongjun smiled quietly, and he was not embarrassed.

In the film industry system, all countries and regions around the world have their own mechanisms and systems for making movies, compared to Hollywood, which has the most complete film industry system.

To put it bluntly, it is industrialization, standardization, and refinement.

It is very intuitive that there are many fewer behind-the-scenes positions in Chinese films than in Hollywood films, and the vast majority of domestic films do not have subdivided jobs, especially some transfer links and coordination of resources.

The work in these positions must be done by someone, but it is not specialized enough.

Hollywood has made movies into industrial products, and every position and process has strict technical requirements, just like an assembly line.

Although some people say that this will kill the soul of the movie, it is only good for those non-first-line, top-notch directors.

After all, they can't make much good films if they are allowed to play freely, and the big directors have enough permissions, and the system has little restriction on them, allowing them to let themselves go.

It's possible to make a classic movie, or it's possible to make a ball of shit.

It's the same in Hollywood, where mediocre people have to follow the rules, and the other few don't.

However, Hollywood directors also came from making films one by one according to this system, and this system has been deeply rooted in their hearts, so when they let go of themselves, they will not fly too high and can take them back.

And some domestic directors didn't have a rope to pull at the beginning, and the farther they farthered, the farther away they were from the audience.

That's what it means, how can these senior filmmakers who have been in the industry for more than ten years not know.

They have also tried to shackle big directors, but the rules are useless, most of them are looking for a producer and producer with enough qualifications and ability to control the scene.

When Yu Dong asked Chen Kexin to shoot "Casting a Name", he was also afraid that he would fool around, after all, the cost of 200 million yuan.

So Yu Dong found Huang Jianxin, the top producer in the mainland, and the director of the import and export company, and also served as the Chinese producer of "The Mummy 3", which was enough.

Feng Xiaogang made several comedies in a row that year, and after the box office hit, he wanted to make the feature film "No Thieves in the World", Huayi found Chen Guozhang to produce it, and Liu Luoying also got the heroine and officially entered the mainstream commercial film market in the mainland.

After that, almost all of Huayi's important films were produced by Chen Guozhang, not the kind of name, and even participated in the editing of Feng Xiaogang's films.

There are many people who can suppress these famous directors, but most of them are not professional enough, if Wang Zhongjun is allowed to interfere with Feng Xiaogang's movie by himself, he is afraid that he will mess up.

There are too few producers and producers with enough weight and ability, and no one cares about it, so they can't let themselves go.

If there is a perfect film industry system, although there is no obvious effect in the short term, it will definitely be a great thing for major companies in the long run.

However, when it comes to heavy industry films, they still don't take it to heart.

"Tang Dong, the core of heavy industry movies is special effects, which is our weakest point, and it is not easy to keep up with the pace of Hollywood. ”

For many people, heavy industry movies are not just special effects blockbusters, and they are similar, special effects are not only CG special effects.

From the early stage of service, modeling, data collection... When it comes to post-CG production, it is considered a special effect, including the entire production process of the movie, and CG is only one part of it, which is an all-round disadvantage to Hollywood movies.

Wang Changtian said, "I think the future of domestic films is still comedy, and comedy will not be left behind no matter what era or country." ”

There is another point that Wang Changtian did not say, that is, the investment is relatively small, there is no overseas market in the mainland, and low-cost comedies are the best choice.

Tang An nodded, that's right, comedy is indeed king these days.

Tang An continued, "What Wang Dong said is good, but at present, there are more than 40,000 screens in China, and this market scale can already support the transformation of the film industry."

At that time, it was "Star Wars" that opened the era of heavy industrial special effects for Hollywood, and the gap between the United States and other major film countries was quickly widened, because the existence of special effects made the movie full of infinite possibilities, only what you can't think of, and what you can't do without special effects. ”

Speaking of which, it still depends on special effects.

The corners of Wang Zhongjun's mouth twitched, and he said meaningfully, "Speaking of special effects, Tang Dong's Tiangong Yicai is the largest special effects company in China, and it has acquired the digital field, and it is also a first-class special effects company in the world." ”

Why did this Wang Zhongjun suddenly start to find fault today?

Tang An was a little inexplicable, as if he advocated the development of heavy industry films in order for them to make special effects blockbusters and let his special effects company make money from them.

Not to mention, Wang Changtian and Yu Dong also came up with this idea.

Because of Fan Luyuan's tandem, several giants are a little moved, but they haven't really made a decision yet.

However, after having a clear will, he began to treat Tang An as an imaginary enemy, and guessed Tang An's actions from the perspective of an enemy.

"Then if we start making heavy industrial movies and find Tiangong Brilliant to do special effects, Tang Dong will have to give us a discount. ”

Wang Changtian smiled, not without temptation.

Tang An said, "That's for the development of the film industry, but this is not a special effects company's business, and the crew must also control the quality of every detail in an all-round way." ”

When it's really time for everyone to shoot a heavy industrial blockbuster together, the demand for special effects personnel is huge.

Hollywood special effects companies are struggling to survive, almost all film and television projects are losing money, and the real money is selling software and advertising, and only these businesses can fill the gap in the film business.

The company that did the special effects for "Life of Pi" collapsed half a month before the movie won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, and it should have to fall if it won the Oscar, and it is still a 25-year-old special effects company.

Hollywood also doesn't pay enough attention to the special effects company, and when the special effects team accepted the award, they talked about the collapse of their special effects company and wanted to call on Hollywood to support the special effects company.

But as soon as the words were spoken, the awards ceremony immediately released the soundtrack of "Jaws".

It was a thriller, rated as the sixth soundtrack in Hollywood history, filled with all sorts of broken, sharp dissonant scales, rudely interrupting the special effects company, and even the microphones were turned off.

Li did not thank the special effects company when he accepted the award.

Hollywood special effects companies are a bad debt in the whole country, after all, even film production is monopolized by the six majors, not to mention the special effects branch.

This is a good thing for domestic special effects companies, relying on a large number of Hollywood orders, plus some games and advertising businesses, there is no big problem in making profits.

......

In the next chat, Tang An could vaguely feel that Wang Zhongjun was deliberately replying to his words, and it was very frequent.

Tang An knows Wang Zhongjun very well, even if he hates himself in his heart, but in recent years, as he has become more and more successful, the faster the Han and Tang Dynasties have developed, and the surface kung fu is getting better and better.

After all, he doesn't have that confidence, and Huayi has really not done well in the film business in recent years.

What is the reason why Wang Zhongjun has this confidence today, and he has mocked and ridiculed many times?

Could it be that he is going to do some big moves and blockbusters?

Although Tang An doesn't care about any project he does, he still has to pay attention to it.

When the banquet was about to end, Tang An was about to leave, but at this time, Zhang Zhao of Lay's came up again, and he also wanted to give Tang An a share of the business that would make sure he would not lose money.

Tang An smiled, "Mr. Zhang, "Jue Ji" is your key project next year, so let it be given to me?"

Lay's lost a lot in "Taiping Wheel", and "Small Times" was not as expected, and next year it will rely on "The Great Wall" and "Jue Ji" to recover blood.

Although the reputation of "Little Times" is not good, and the box office is also affected because of Ke Zhendong, the industry is still very optimistic about the box office of "Jue Ji".

After all, the four "Little Times" can still make a lot of money when the word-of-mouth is about to rot.

If you have to give yourself such a good project, Tang An doesn't have to think about what Zhang Zhao wants to do.

At the premiere of "Operation Red Sea" before, Zhang Zhao expressed his intention to continue to cooperate, and now he just wants to give himself a benefit in exchange for the next cooperation.

As Tang An expected, Zhang Zhao directly expressed his desire to cooperate with Han and Tang in depth, and at the same time pushed the reason why he could not continue to cooperate after the first part of "Little Times" to Guo Jinming and Cai Zhiping.

However, although "Jue Ji" is a trump card in Zhang Zhao's heart, it is a high-quality project second only to "The Great Wall" next year.

But don't say that this big bad movie can't make money, even if you can make a little money with a distribution fee, you won't ask for it.

Lay's definitely wants to be released on a popular schedule, only four a year, and Han Tang's own films are not enough, so how can I divide a popular schedule for this film.

What's more, this is not given for nothing, Zhang Zhao also wants to take some benefits from Han Tang.

Tang An said happily, "Mr. Zhang, of course you can cooperate, but next year, several important schedules are full, and you can only give some support during Qingming and May Day." ”

Zhang Zhao's face was a little unsightly, and he gave such an important project as "Jue Ji" to Han Tang, in addition to showing goodwill and continuing to cooperate in the future, it was also because of Han Tang's resources.

Lay's Pictures has been merged into the listed company Lay's.com, and its performance is more important than ever, and it is not bad to divide some shares in exchange for the support of Han and Tang, and the box office of five or six hundred million can be increased to seven or eight billion.

But Tang An means that the four popular schedules can't be entered, and if they are replaced by Qingming and May Day, the box office will definitely have to be discounted.

No matter how good the movie is, you have to look at the schedule, Qingming and May Day are the times when Hollywood blockbusters are released, and the time is still short, mainly a small long holiday, if you change the National Day seven-day long holiday, it will be almost the same.

Zhang Zhao wanted to persuade again, but Tang An did not give what he expected.

Looking at the back of Tang An leaving, Zhang Zhao remembered the tandem of Ah Tanuki, and made a decision in his heart.

Originally, Zhang Zhao didn't want to participate in Ah Li's gang, and even planned to fall to Tang An in advance.

After all, no matter what happened to Han Tang, it didn't have much to do with Lay's, and only a few giants were affected.

Even if they succeed, Hantang is still a giant, but it is not to the point where it is far beyond any company now, and Lay's is still a second-tier echelon.

On the contrary, if the Han and Tang dynasties win, the giants will definitely be greatly affected, and perhaps their vitality will be greatly damaged, and Lay's hopes will replace them with the support of the Han and Tang dynasties and become the new giants.

However, Tang An directly refused his cooperation, and Zhang Zhao couldn't hold his thighs even if he wanted to.

......

Ah's tandem is still going on behind the scenes, and the giant giant and Lay's, the leader of the second-tier echelon, have basically reached a consensus, just waiting for the specific cooperation plan to be determined.

The cross-cooperation between them has not yet been determined, and there are only a few people in each company who know about it, and there is not the slightest rumor from the outside world.

Tang An asked people to pay attention to Hua Yi's movements, but he didn't inquire about anything, just asked people to follow up.

This summer vacation is over, and Tang An has other things to do.

Towards the end of August, Tang An went to Beijing TV.

The guests of the 2016 Spring Festival Gala are basically confirmed, and the program is almost over, and Tang An, the chief director, always has to show up.

After meeting with some leaders of the TV station for a while, he followed the deputy director in charge of next year's Spring Festival Gala to the studio hall.

"Director Tang, let's rehearse in the studio now, and then go to the Water Cube to rehearse in two months......"

Along the way, Deputy Director Hu introduced the situation to Tang An.

"Holding the Spring Festival Gala in a venue like the Water Cube, Director Hu's support for this year's Spring Festival Gala is not ordinary. Tang An smiled.

"With Director Tang personally serving as the chief director, everyone in the stage is looking forward to this Spring Festival Gala.

Chief Hu nodded with a smile, but he was a little speechless in his heart.

It is not the first time that Beijing TV has held a Spring Festival Gala at the Water Cube.

But he didn't care, all he wanted was Tang An's fame, and in the name of Tang An, no matter how big the star was, he had to take the initiative to participate.

In Studio No. 1, the guests, hosts, and the entire program team are all here.

Tang An has already got the guests and program list, and this lineup is definitely unprecedentedly strong.

Tan Jing, Han Hong, Jay Chou, Wang Feng, Li Jian, Xiao Jingteng......

Other cross talks, sketches, and song and dance dramas, Tang An doesn't know more than half of them.

There are a total of seventeen songs, in addition to these singers, Lu Han, Wu Fan and the four of them sang a chorus, as well as Guan Xiaotong, who was later nicknamed "Beijing Circle Gege" by netizens.

Beijing Satellite TV arranged it by itself, Tang An has no opinion, I remember that there was also this girl in the Beijing Spring Festival Gala in 16 years.

Two days ago, I listened to Director Hu's meaning, and I wanted Jay Chou and Cai Yilin to sing a song together, but there was no one for the gimmick, and everyone had a baby.

There are so many Spring Festival Galas in provinces and cities every year, Tang An basically doesn't remember it, but in 16 years, Teacher Liu's "Golden Monkey in Spring" on Liaoshen Satellite TV had a high response on the Internet, and many netizens also scolded CCTV for not letting him go to the Spring Festival Gala.

The show was really good, and the sixth teacher not only went to the Liaoshen Spring Festival Gala, but also the Beijing Spring Festival Gala, and Tang An also came to watch it at that time.

This time, Beijing Satellite TV also invited the sixth teacher, after all, the Year of the Monkey, how can it be called the Year of the Monkey without a monkey.

There are national team singers, pop kings, and new generation singers, and the staffing is very uniform.

Tang An specially asked not to find actors to sing, after all, he was not a professional, so he was not interested in listening to some amateur actors sing.

"Sister Jing, Teacher Han Hong, Teacher Six, Jielun...... Welcome to next year's Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Monkey. Tang An said hello to the guests.

"Hello Director Tang, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you. ”

Director Tang was polite. ”

"Director Tang: Okay. ”

As soon as Tang An came, everyone waiting at the scene, whether it was the invited guests and their entourage, or the program team, their eyes gathered, and their footsteps naturally moved towards Tang An's side.
