Chapter 867: Direct (1/3)
As Yang Ming said more in the conference room, the more shocked everyone felt here.
Of course, the harvest is also very big!
Yang Ming recounted the significance and benefits of the Pentagon's support for Hollywood film shooting from various aspects, combining what he knew in his previous life with the information of the present life to form his own opinion.
As he spoke, a tangled look appeared on his face.
The following information, to be honest, Yang Ming really didn't want to say it in his heart, but he knew that if the Ministry of Defense was determined to follow the Pentagon's example, then it would definitely be an inevitable thing.
You can't hide.
"In order to be able to influence Hollywood, the Pentagon does not hesitate to tamper with history!"
Hearing Yang Ming's statement, a soldier present couldn't help but ask curiously, "Oh, how do you say this?"
Yang Ming's gaze slowly looked over the faces of the military officials of the Ministry of National Defense present, and then he suddenly smiled helplessly and said: "Actually, I really don't want to say too much about the following information, but I also know that if I don't say it, there will definitely be others who will say it, but from the perspective of a director, I am very disgusted with some of the Pentagon's practices." ”
In this world, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Hollywood's support from the Mi military guarantees the visual impact of the film, but it also has to pay a price: the film script or the shot must be reviewed by the Ministry of Defense and revised in accordance with the advice of the Ministry of Defense.
The Pentagon also has its own film censorship mechanism, which strictly controls negative content and images of the military in films. The plot, characters, etc., that the military is not happy with must also be adjusted, otherwise the Ministry of Defense will refuse to provide any support.
Even the images of Mi soldiers in some children's films must meet the requirements of Mi Jun.
Of course, there are also some well-known directors who do not agree with the military's modifications to the film, and the consequence is that they can only rely on their own strength to shoot without military support.
Hearing these materials from Yang Ming's mouth, everyone present showed an inexplicable look, and even a few people couldn't help but look at Yang Ming with a little ill-intention.
Obviously, these elites of the Ministry of Defense here are like children, sitting here listening to Yang Ming's class for such a long time, saying that there is no discomfort in their hearts, it must be impossible.
Even General Cao is no exception.
After all, for them, Yang Ming, an outsider, knows more about the ideological struggle than they do, and it is indeed a shameless thing.
Yang Ming has long been prepared for this, seeing the eyes of some people, he indifferently continued to explain PPT to everyone, his always calm appearance, also made many people feel admired!
It took more than an hour for Yang Ming to finish this PPT!
Everyone felt that the harvest was huge, even General Cao was no exception!
"Comrade Xiao Yang really taught us a vivid lesson, I didn't expect that in this regard, we are so far behind the military of the United States!" General Cao knocked on the table and said with a sigh, then he looked up at Yang Ming, couldn't help laughing, and quipped: "I've seen your movie script, it doesn't seem to be good for our military, in the face of aliens, it seems that the army has always been in a situation of passive beating, which does not meet the requirements of our military to shape the image!"
For this question, Yang Ming has long been prepared in his heart.
"General Cao, let me take the liberty of asking, in recent years, the military has made many films and television with the main theme, but it seems that the effect is not ideal, and the audience base is declining every year, right?" Yang Ming asked with a confident smile.
This is a well-known thing, but when it is brought up on this occasion, it seems that there is a suspicion of revealing the scar in person.
Director Liu and several soldiers present couldn't help but look embarrassed and ashamed.
Not to mention other people, Director Liu is the most emotionally touched by this question, if there is no Yang Ming's "I Am a Special Soldier" for the Art Troupe, it is estimated that the Art Troupe is still the most disgusted person on national TV!
And not one of the most popular right now.
"Xiao Yang, if you have anything to say, just say it, you don't need to sell anything. General Cao waved his hand with a not very good-looking face.
In this regard, Yang Ming was also a little apprehensive in his heart, but for his own interests, he could only say this.
"For military-themed film and television works, the characters in them will always be tall and complete, and they will never be killed, this kind of artistic creation may have worked twenty years ago, but the audience has long been tired of watching it, because it is too fake!" Yang Ming continued to say unceremoniously, he is an expert in this regard.
"Especially as young people are becoming more and more rebellious, their values, their own views on things, are very different from their parents, so the film and television shooting techniques of the main theme of the military theme must also keep pace with the times and make innovations, and stick to the old-fashioned creation of the past, then there is only one dead end, and the success of "I Am Special Forces" is a clear example!"
Hearing Yang Ming's words, everyone in the conference room stared at him, although this young man was not very old, he was very characterful!
The most important thing is that what Yang Ming said has a factual basis.
The success of last year's "I Am a Special Soldier" shocked many people on the side of the Ministry of Defense, especially the classic characters in it, compared with the previous film and television works filmed by the military, it is simply heaven and earth, and there is no similarity at all.
In their cognition, the protagonist in the main theme film and television is always a perfect character, willing to take risks, tall and complete, and then stand up at a critical time and sacrifice for the country and the nation.
In last year's hugely successful "I Am Special Forces" TV series, the protagonist Xiao Zhuang did not have any trace of the character characteristics of the protagonist in the main theme film and television at first.
He was a soldier for the sake of picking up girls, and he was full of personality, and he did not hesitate to oppose the squad leader.
Even some of his values are not consistent with the army at all, but such a character has become the favorite film and television character in the minds of countless teenagers last year, so that when this year's conscription, there were many more young people who wanted to join the army than in previous years.
Many young people directly asked the recruitment office whether they would be in the army and more likely to become special forces.
This phenomenon is very common, and many bigwigs in the military feel extremely shocked.
A military-themed TV series has directly increased the number of young people who have signed up to join the army!
With such a huge influence, many people in the military have finally begun to officially notice the importance of film and television to the military.
What Yang Ming wants to say is very simple, just a core, the previous shooting mode of Gao Daquan has become outdated, even if it is filmed, not many people will watch it, on the contrary, ordinary and ordinary heroes like Xiaozhuang are the most popular.
Never be able to die, always tall and perfect, always be a perfect person, this is simply impossible to exist.
Is it impossible for an army to have failures, mistakes, and dead men?
If this is the case, the audience will definitely not buy it, it is too fake.
Heroes also bleed.
Yang Ming's words once again made everyone present fall into deep thought.
After a while, General Cao stood up, tapped his fingers on the table, and said lightly with an expressionless face: "Okay, that's all for today, as for your request, we will consider it carefully, wait for us to notify you!"
