——————
This time, the Huaxia Film Directors Association was held in Beijing, and a lot of media came to the scene, and the media news was still very well-informed.
Bian Zhang of the Huaxia Film Directors Association will still be carried out publicly, in fact, the so-called commendation of the Huaxia Film Directors Association generally has the taste of sharing the cake, and many people can get an award here, and they will not favor one over the other, which everyone still knows better.
And many meetings of the Directors Guild can only be held internally, after all, many things involved in them cannot be known by the media or the public, after all, they can't have no secrets.
The fact that Chen Yongren became the president of this session of the Chinese Film Directors Association has also spread all over and has received the greatest attention from reporters, many reporters rushed over as soon as possible, and the focus of the interview they want to interview is naturally the new president Chen Yongren, as for many other directors, compared to Chen Yongren, it is also overshadowed.
This is not because Chen Yongren became the president, but more importantly, because Chen Yongren's achievements and reputations have given him an irrefutable position in the Chinese film director circle.
On this day, the meeting of the Chinese Film Directors Association is about to begin, several directors were caught by reporters, answered a few questions, and the reporters were a little reluctant to pry open their mouths and get more useful things, but these directors are all mixed up, anyway, they don't give reporters some too useful information, they are all Tai Chi masters.
At this moment, Chen Yongren appeared, so all the media reporters immediately had their own new goals, and they all hurriedly ran towards Chen Yongren and surrounded Chen Yongren several floors.
The directors who were just surrounded by those reporters, after seeing this scene, they were a little happy and a little lost, people are cheap, sometimes they are like this, they lose and want to get, they want to lose it, they don't have regrets, and they will be annoyed if they do.
And this scene also shows that Chen Yongren is not at the same level as their status and attention, after all, Chen Yongren is a top director who has made many outstanding performances.
Chen Yongren is not much impatient in the face of the reporters, these reporters are like this, you give it something, it will follow you like a pug, but it will be obedient, so the reporters also understand Chen Yongren's temper, and they quietly raised their hands and asked.
After all, Chen Yongren's attitude towards reporters has always been very good, of course, the premise is to keep quiet and orderly raise his hand to ask questions.
In terms of official status, Chen Yongren is now also the president of the Directors Association, so there are many things to pay attention to.
The Directors Guild is not a purely spontaneous director organizational structure, there is also the shadow of the country behind it, and it can be regarded as a very influential superficial non-governmental organization behind it, so this is Chen Yongren's official identity.
This president has proved that Chen Yongren is now in an official position, as well as the official recognition and support for him.
With the behemoth-like Longteng Media Group behind him, and he has made so many acclaimed and popular movies, Chen Yongren's current capital is very strong, in Huaxia, except for a few traditional giants, no one can compare with him, even if those giants, at least they are not self-made like Chen Yongren, and there are no achievements like Chen Yongren.
This has made Chen Yongren's current status in the Chinese film circle and even the entire business circle, so these reporters, of course, will not let go of Chen Yongren, a person with high status, strong energy and high topicality.
"Director Chen Yongren, we got the news that you have become the president of this year's Huaxia Film Directors Association, is that true?" a reporter asked.
"Hmm. Of course, Chen Yongren will not deny this kind of thing, in fact, these things are basically public, and there is no need to hide them.
Before the start of the Directors Guild meeting this time, there was also an executive meeting, that is, the internal formal vote to approve Chen Yongren's election as president, and there was only one candidate, Chen Yongren, so after the form, the information would also be made public, so there was nothing to hide.
"Is the postponement of this year's Film Directors Guild meeting to today because the film classification system is about to be edited?" asked a reporter from Huaxia Film Daily.
Chen Yongren had to say that the news of these media was still quite well-informed, and it was only a long time before they knew about it and brought it up.
But there is nothing to hide, so Chen Yongren nodded and said: "There is a certain relationship, these things are interlocking, so there are some concurrent..."
"Director Chen, as the president of the Directors Association in the future, as the best director in China now, what can you bring to Huaxia films?" asked the Magic Capital Entertainment Daily.
Chen Yongren smiled and replied: "I don't dare to be the best director, don't wear a high hat for me." However, since I am the president of the Directors Guild, I will definitely fulfill my responsibilities and do my best to make Chinese films better. ”
After being interviewed for a while, Chen Yongren entered the venue.
Everyone in it is not discussing things related to the movie, they are all getting together in threes, fives, and fives.
After seeing Chen Yongren walk in, many people greeted Chen Yongren, after all, even if Chen Yongren is not the president of the Directors Association, his status cannot be underestimated.
Chen Yongren also greeted everyone with a smile, and he is also familiar with some of the directors here, and occasionally has a small gathering.
Next, everyone just chatted casually about family life or something, such a director chat is still very good, everyone doesn't talk about academic things for the time being, bragging, gossip and gossip, everyone's mood is also relatively relaxed, and there is no need to be tense as soon as you come up.
After that, when it comes to formal academic discussions, when the meeting is actually held, it is natural that everyone's discussion will definitely not be those gossip, but more professional issues will be discussed at that time, which is beyond doubt, and at that time it was more boring and boring.
This year's Huaxia Film Directors Association is definitely different from the past, this year's Film Directors Association needs to discuss a lot of things, this is a slow discussion, and this year's Directors Guild commendation is secondary.
Before the discussion really begins, what Chen Yongren has to do now is to take a look at some of the ideas of many people in this discussion, and then plan some topics for the next real meeting, so that the meeting will be more smooth.
The number of people in the Huaxia Film Directors Association is still very large, and every meeting is held at a large round table, with many people sitting on the third floor and the outer three floors.
Compared with previous years, this year's dry goods are particularly large.
“…… In short, this is a small step forward for Chinese films, and it is also a big era that ushers in countless opportunities. Finally, the leader concluded.
Then everyone applauded, this year's Chinese Film Directors Association, indeed many things are closely related.
Chen Yongren also listened carefully to what these people said, and made a judgment in his heart, today he is also one of the protagonists, especially after becoming the president, there are many things that he can't shirk.
Therefore, soon after the leaders spoke and the directors of several leading actors finished speaking, the person who spoke became Chen Yongren, and everyone began to pay attention to Chen Yongren's words.
They are indeed looking forward to Chen Yongren's speech, and everyone is looking forward to it, because Chen Yongren's influence on Chinese films is very huge.
Chen Yongren is not only able to explain some things more clearly, but more importantly, Chen Yongren's interests are also related to everyone's interests, Chen Yongren's existence, for the Chinese film market, is not only the main force to improve the overall market, to increase everyone's confidence, the most important thing is his sincere heart for Chinese films, and he also has a strong strength under his hands.
The development and going out of Chinese films are still inseparable from him, and it still depends on him.
Today's main topic is how Huaxia films can first gain a foothold on their own one-third of an acre, and then how to go out.
But the most important thing is that everyone will keep their own one-third of an acre first, after all, the Chinese film market is already quite huge, but the majority of the market share is still taken away by Hollywood movies, so how to deal with the current situation and how to keep this market is the key.
Many people are thinking about this issue, and Chen Yongren once said this problem at the previous director's symposium.
So after Chen Yongren stood up, he first said thank you and so on, and then said what he had said in a cliché, and then said: "In fact, there has been a problem in Chinese films in recent years, and this problem has also laid the root cause of our film development, I think everyone knows that this problem is that our films usually win the box office and lose their reputation, and this kind of strange circle has produced this problem since the commercialization of China's films." ”
Chen Yongren's sentence is indeed known to many people, in fact, this is caused by Chen Yongren, after all, it opened the era of Chinese commercial films, causing everyone to be busy thinking about how to make money, and many internal things have been abandoned.
"So, this cycle is one of the things that is bothering us to keep the film going. Chen Yongren continued: "We really started to learn about film commercialization, and it has only been a few years since we developed the film industry, and we have indeed achieved great achievements, but it has also caused a lot of problems. ”
"One thing we can't deny is that our film market is very huge, and the movie-going crowd is huge, but the biggest reason for this is that the entry of foreign films led by Hollywood for more than 20 years has cultivated our market and raised our market, so the development of the Chinese film market to this day, none of us can deny the opportunities and challenges brought by Hollywood films to the development of China's market. ”
For this reason, many old diehards have to admit that if there is no continuous development of Hollywood blockbusters for so many years, and there are only Chinese movies in the Chinese film market, it will definitely not be able to reach the current situation, and "Infernal Affairs" will not achieve such a high box office after its release, so the stimulation of Hollywood blockbusters will still play a very big role in pulling up the market of the Chinese film market.
"In addition, Hollywood movies are also a mirror for us, allowing us to see the problems we have on the road to film commercialization all the time, providing a strong catalytic effect on the maturity of our film industry, and also helping us improve the movie-watching taste of movie audiences, which is what they bring us.
But now, Hollywood films have noticed and attached importance to our Chinese film market, so we will face more Hollywood blockbusters in the future, which is a slow and huge challenge for us, so how we should deal with the next challenges and opportunities needs to be considered in the long run. ”
After Chen Yongren finished talking about these big conceptual things, he also began to delve into some of the coping plans for this matter.
Chen Yongren looked at the people sitting and continued: "From the perspective of the overall environment, what we need to do now is to continue to optimize our commercial films, absorb the essence of excellent foreign films, carry forward the local film culture, and continue our commercial film reform." ”
"Our commercial film reform has only been a few years before we have achieved today's results, so our commercial films still need more optimization, and in order to make a masterpiece with a high reputation, the reputation of the film must be adhered to for a long time.
We don't have to come up with any complicated plots, as long as we insist on telling a good story with our hearts, ensuring the quality of the movie, sticking to our film style, and taking root in Chinese culture. Only by achieving a bumper harvest of word-of-mouth and box office can we make the long-term and healthy development of Chinese films!"
These are some of the issues that Chen Yongren has always talked about, and he has often said on some occasions.
However, with Chen Yongren's status and the fact that he is the most successful commercial director in China, everyone listened patiently and did not stop paying attention because he spoke many times.
"In fact, although there are all kinds of films that have entered the domestic film market, in addition to Hollywood blockbusters, there are still relatively few foreign films that can perform well in the Chinese film box office market.
The domestic film market can basically accommodate Chinese films and Hollywood films, which also illustrates a problem, that is, the problem of culture.
After all, although the commercial value of our country's films is low, the artistic value is still very high, including many of the current films, although the commercial value is there, but some of the internal things have been lost, which also makes many fans scold, but they still watch while scolding, because this is our own thing, this is a home advantage that only Chinese films rooted in Chinese culture have!
Therefore, such a home advantage cannot be lost in our hands, and in the cultural competition of the new era, if we can't even preserve this cultural advantage, then our dignity will almost be gone, and even that low box office may be lost at that time.
So let's go back to those clichés, we must pay attention to the quality of the movie, tell the story with heart, stand firm on the one-third of an acre of land under our feet, and then think about the problem of going out. Chen Yongren said.
No matter where it is, between countries, when the competition of force becomes less and less, it will turn into a contest of soft power, and movies are the most important part.
When teenagers who grew up watching Hollywood blockbusters grow up, and you ask them to watch Chinese movies again, they will be less and less likely to buy them, which is the subtle input of Hollywood blockbusters into their values and so on.
Chen Yongren took a sip of water and said: "Therefore, this also involves the responsibility we carry, resisting the invasion of foreign culture, is not only a matter of interest, but also a matter related to the inheritance and development of our entire country, so I have said many times that we should take root in the local culture and adhere to our own style, which is what we should insist on and think about, rather than patronizing the pursuit of box office ........."
Although Chen Yongren's movies are also mainly about making money, to put it bluntly, there are still connotations, and some positions are still there.
After that, Chen Yongren also said some suggestions about his own development of Chinese films, and the people present also applauded and nodded frequently after listening to it.
What Chen Yongren said is quite reasonable, and although his speech is long, it is reasonable and well-founded, unlike those official clichés, so everyone is also listening very carefully.
In the end, Chen Yongren also gave some dry goods that everyone was looking forward to: "In fact, Longteng Media Group has been working hard to do such things, so we have also acquired some foreign film companies, and we are also working hard to make more of our films have the possibility of going out, so on the issue of foreign distribution of films, we can sit down and discuss together, and I will do my best to help Chinese films go out easier........."
This is also what everyone likes to listen to the most, everyone likes to listen to Chen Yongren's speech, not because of his identity and status, but because Chen Yongren can really provide some convenience for everyone and expand more channels for everyone's movies.
Chen Yongren is really doing things in a down-to-earth manner, as long as he says it, he will do it, instead of being like a few people who just talk all day long, saying a lot of results but not accomplishing a thing.
Many people in life are like this, the strongest king in his mouth, but in fact, he has no ability to do anything with half a bucket of water.
After saying this, and then a few older directors spoke, the afternoon meeting ended, and in the evening, Chen Yongren was also asked by some young directors to sing.
Although Chen Yongren has not achieved much in the field of music, his singing skills are still okay now, so he goes out with everyone to relax.
After all, Huaxia likes to pull mountains and engage in gangs, but as Chen Yongren, he didn't join any groups, but went out with some more familiar directors.
This time, the director's meeting lasted for three days, and it was time to close, and there will also be a commendation meeting at the closing ceremony.
Although it is a cake division, there is still a process and rules for how to divide it.
Many issues that should be discussed were discussed and commended, so after the closing of the Film Directors Guild, Chen Yongren also went home after dealing with everyone.
After all, this year's things that belong to him have basically been done, and everything that needs to be said has been said, so it is better to hurry home and study the script of the next movie.........
About the update: Monday to Friday due to time reasons so one more, two more on the weekend to reward and more, the update time is generally between 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock every night, and the second general situation is another story......
