Chapter 617: Meeting

After visiting the Tianqin special effects company, everyone came to another venue.

The huge site stretches as far as the eye can see, and there are some buildings on it, ranging from ancient cities to modern military buildings.

"This is where war scenes are filmed. The person in charge said, "The huge venue provides enough space for filming war blockbusters, whether it is the galloping horses of ancient wars or the tank charges of modern wars, they can be perfectly reproduced here."

The buildings here are all modular, there are many models to choose from, you can choose the model you want when shooting, for example, the city style of the Tang Dynasty or the city style of the Song Dynasty is completely different, we can build the required war buildings according to the needs of shooting.

If we want, we can even recreate a part of the Great Wall here. ”

"Looks like you've thought it through. Xu Anshun sighed.

Lin Qirong replied, "Hongda Group and Longhai Group have a lot of experienced designers, and they have in-depth research in the research of building modularity, and they have played a very big role in this regard.

War blockbusters, especially ancient war blockbusters, are actually very particular things, all kinds of weapons and equipment, war buildings need to be carefully studied, and the staff here are dedicated to this, no matter which crew comes to us to shoot, you can get our full support.

In other words, it can not only provide you with a large enough filming venue, but also provide you with various knowledge and technical support to help you shoot better.

We believe that the green background may be able to solve the shooting needs of most films, and only post-production special effects need to be added, which is also the future development trend. But at any time, live-action shooting is indispensable, and the beauty and shock brought by real shots are not available to special effects.

We're not against special effects, in fact, we're investing heavily in it, but we also have to pay attention to the construction and shooting of live scenes. ”

Xu Anshun nodded, "So, are you Tonghua Group ready to enter the film industry?"

Lin Qirong chuckled, "As a screenwriter and a director, it is impossible to say that I have no ideas about movies.

In fact, our group has already entered the film industry in the field of animation, and has achieved good results, and will definitely shoot our films in the future.

The film market in China is far from being saturated, and there is much to be done. ”

"Yes. Xu Anshun nodded and stopped talking.

At this point, everyone also ended the tour of the Film and Television Culture City and returned to the hotel together.

This visit brought a great shock to everyone, I thought that the rumor was led by Lin Qirong, and there was no difference between the film and television culture city invested by many capital giants and the film and television bases such as the Blue Ocean Film and Television Base, but I didn't expect the facts to give them a huge slap in the face.

Lin Qirong and others did not take many film and television bases such as the Blue Ocean Film and Television Base in their eyes at all, and set the goal at the level of shooting blockbusters from the beginning, and all the building facilities and various configurations were aimed at this goal.

Unique shooting venues, a number of post-production teams such as Tianqin Special Effects Company, a huge technical support team, and commercial operation······

From the very beginning, this film and television culture city has shown itself to be different.

This realization also made everyone have a little more ideas in their hearts.

With the hardware and software, is the Chinese film industry finally starting to rise?

In that case, shouldn't we also think about what we should do?

Otherwise, when the time comes, it will be difficult to catch up with these pioneers of Tonghua Entertainment.

In such a nervous mood, everyone ushered in the second day of the meeting: the Huaxia Film Art Symposium.

This is a meeting initiated by Tonghua Entertainment, Ant Pictures, Fengteng Pictures, and Huaying Group, with the purpose of discussing and exchanging views on the current situation of the Chinese film industry.

However, due to the arrival of Xu Anshun, Wen Ziyuan, Ma Chang, Luo Jiaze and others, the specifications of this seminar are obviously much higher, and everyone has new ideas for this seminar.

Not to mention anything else, at least being able to meet the newly appointed Xu Anshun at this meeting and understand some of his ideas face-to-face, which is very helpful for everyone's decision-making.

The conference was divided into two parts, morning and afternoon, and the morning was mainly for some guest speakers to express their opinions on the film industry.

In the afternoon, there is a free time for communication, and in the form of a forum, everyone can take the stage to put forward their opinions and ideas.

In the morning, three guests took the stage to give speeches on behalf of investors, directors and actors, expressing some of their views and suggestions on the film industry.

Because the profession is different, everyone's opinion is different.

Investors complain that the investment is risky, the rate of return is low, and friends who don't know how to do it and don't have a familiar way in the circle basically don't dare to touch the field of film investment, because the risk is too great.

The risk of investing in bad movies, the risk of hitting the street at the box office, and even the money invested in it was spent by the crew, and nothing was filmed, so you can only continue to invest more, otherwise you can only watch the money you invested go down the drain.

"I think the film industry, and even the entire entertainment industry, urgently need to establish an effective rule that protects all parties, especially for us investors, otherwise who would dare to invest in a film?

In the end, it is still that group of people who play around, fall down to Shengshi Entertainment, and will stand up for more Shengshi Entertainment, and then continue the original cycle of death. ”

His opinion made many people frequently nod their heads in agreement, to invest in a movie, you must not only have money, but also have relationships, otherwise the routines in it are too deep, and you don't know what's going on with the crew every minute.

Aren't Jian Guangyuan, Zhao Mingchuan and others making money like this?

And as a director, he has his own opinions on this.

The high cost, the low level of technical personnel, the high salary of actors, poor acting skills, and the easy to play big names are the most helpless places for them.

"Don't watch a movie, you can easily invest hundreds of millions, but there are really not many people who really use it for shooting, most of them are spent on actors' salaries, venue fees, and props fees, and the remaining poor funds are really embarrassing to shoot the effect you want.

As directors, what we can do is to make the film within our own capabilities, but in the case of insufficient funds, we can only reduce the budget in some aspects, especially in special effects.

This is the reason why many viewers feel that many movies only cost five cents for special effects, because there is really no money to burn special effects.

In addition, in contrast to the high remuneration of actors, the remuneration of technical personnel is very low, and it is inevitable to complain in the heart, and the result is that it is difficult for these technical personnel to have the motivation to improve their skills, and it is difficult to have the patience to work slowly and carefully.

In this case, it is completely conceivable how good the quality of the film will be. ”

When it was the actor's turn to take the stage to speak, they also had their own opinions.

The situation of actors' salaries is not what others say, not all actors can get high salaries, but there is a 28 law, a small number of people get high salaries, and most people get not paid high.

"The most important thing is not the level of salary, but it is linked to popularity and traffic, rather than acting skills and dedication.

To put it mildly, an old actor dedicated the most exciting content of the whole movie to the movie, but the remuneration he can get may not even be a fraction of that of others.

And stars with popularity and traffic can not only get the role of the protagonist, but also shout a sky-high salary, get the greatest exposure, and get greater commercial endorsements.

In this way, they are not satisfied, and they are not willing to play the role seriously, they are too hard, play big names, have poor acting skills, and even rely directly on cutouts to act, which is not uncommon.

Behind these problems is the market's eagerness for quick success, the pursuit of interests, and the result of the pursuit of the whole society, that is, the fundamental mistake of market orientation.

What determines the box office is not the quality of the movie and the acting skills of the actors, but the popularity and traffic of the actors, which is the sadness of Chinese films and an important reason for hindering the development of the Chinese film industry. ”

The three guests, three different opinions, all have their own truths, and no one can convince anyone.

In fact, everyone knows about this problem, but they can't think of any solution.

"Today everyone has been very candid in their opinions. ”

Lin Qirong concluded on the stage at the end.

This fully shows that everyone has their own thoughts about the Chinese film industry, and they have also put forward their own opinions.

Although the situation is not optimistic, I think there is still a lot to be done when we see that everyone has such a sense of distress, because our hearts are not cold yet, and we are still thinking about it and working hard for it.

At this point, I think Xu Ju is the happiest and the most visible. ”

Xu Anshun in the audience laughed happily, "You kid are pushing all the problems on me now?"

Lin Qirong shrugged, "No way, the so-called job in his position, who made you tall?

Everyone laughed happily, Xu Anshun's appearance here itself has explained a lot of problems and made everyone full of expectations.

"I know that everyone has a lot of ideas about Xu Ju, but unfortunately, I can only wait until the afternoon to ask Xu Ju to express his opinion.

Now I have a few thoughts for you. ”

Everyone nodded earnestly.

Today's Lin Qirong is no longer an ordinary screenwriter or director, behind him there are Tonghua Group, Ant Group and other capital giants, Xu Anshun, and the Wen family.

So no one can ignore his opinion.
