In the past life and the present life, Yang Ming has already had a profound understanding of the difference between the two Chinas.

The countries are different, but the nation is still the same nation, with yellow skin, black hair and black eyes. They are all descendants of dragons.

But the mentality of the Chinese people in the two worlds is completely the same, and Yang Ming feels that the biggest difference is self-confidence.

When you can sit on the planes produced in your own country all over the world, travel abroad, see the trademarks of familiar domestic cars everywhere, live in Datang Hotel, and eat Quanjude, China's strong national strength has penetrated into every corner of the world.

The pride of the people of a great country is definitely something that Yang Ming could not understand in his previous life.

Therefore, even if the Chinese film industry has been forced to be embarrassed by Hollywood blockbusters in recent years, it still does not have that sense of urgency at the critical moment of life and death, let alone the feeling of shame from the soul.

Yang Ming, who has the soul of his previous life, has a very different mentality from many highly respected predecessors in Chinese films in the audience, even if these people in front of him are already the most anxious people in the Chinese film industry for the future, there is still a big distance from Yang Ming.

In the previous life, since Hollywood blockbusters were introduced into China, local films have been defeated, and if it were not for the protection of the country's policies, it is estimated that they would have surrendered long ago.

Even so, Hollywood blockbusters are a disaster for domestic films, and whoever touches it dies.

In the previous life, it was not until the birth of "Avatar" that gave the world a resounding slap in the face, that domestic films suddenly woke up and caught up, but the most surprising thing is that in the power of resisting Hollywood blockbusters, it is a small-scale production type of drama that plays the leading role.

In particular, "Thai Embarrassment" won the honor of the first box office of the year that year, which made everyone shout for the victory of domestic films.

However, Yang Ming clearly remembers that he had read a news analysis in his previous life, even if the Chinese film market at that time had been thought to be the world's No. 1 film market by 2016, but Hollywood blockbusters still accounted for about half of the box office of the Chinese film market.

This is a shame for all Chinese filmmakers.

The box office record of "Avatar" was still broken by the Hollywood blockbuster "Transformers 4" in the end, which has to be said to be an irony.

Yang Ming remembers that before his rebirth, he saw an analysis of the 2014 film market, and five of the top seven films at the box office were Hollywood blockbusters. 78 added in 2014. Of the 700 million box office, imported films accounted for 57%. The box office champion for 52 weeks of the year has been taken away by imported films 34 times.

In the past, many people hailed the continuous expansion of the Chinese film market and the bigger and bigger the cake, but they did not notice that in 2014, Hollywood's 33 imported films created a total of 11.2 billion box office in the mainland market, an increase of 60% over the previous year, accounting for 37% of the total box office revenue. 8%。

Yes, the film market in China is getting bigger and bigger, but Hollywood is also earning more and more profits.

"In my opinion, the trade of today's international community no longer closely follows the color of the national flag, on the contrary, it is trade that closely follows the movie, and Hollywood sees the film as a cultural form that plays an extremely important role in the process of promoting the internationalization of the world. ”

"As a cultural commodity with the most communication and influence capabilities, film has become an important carrier for countries to enhance their soft power. ”

"The strength of a country's comprehensive national strength is closely related to its international cultural status, and allowing Chinese films to go overseas can not only improve the international influence of Chinese culture, but also match the growing economic status of China in the world. ”.

Yang Ming's speech immediately attracted the attention of many people, especially Minister Guo took out a pen and paper to write and draw, obviously he heard a lot of things from Yang Ming's views that were in line with his governing philosophy.

Of course, there are also some people who don't think much of what Yang Ming said, and even think that Yang Ming's words are a bit too alarmist.

It seems that Hollywood movies are allowed to be free, and Chinese films have not been able to take their due responsibility, just like the end of the world, China may be destroyed, this view is too exaggerated.

"It's one thing for Chinese films to go abroad, but it's another thing to better influence the world, just like in recent years, many people in the entertainment industry have gone abroad to Vienna Golden Hall for a lot of Chinese performances, which does not mean that Chinese culture has had a lot of positive impact on the world. ”

Yang Ming's words made everyone present laugh, obviously they are also very familiar with some unspoken rules of the entertainment industry.

However, he did not cause many people to react to his words, but there was a trace of excitement, and even in the depths of his eyes, there was a trace of disappointment and helplessness.

After all, these people in front of them are not themselves, they have not experienced the pain and humiliation of Chinese filmmakers in their previous lives, and they will never understand their expectations for Chinese films, and they have an incomparably strong sense of urgency.

This is the biggest difference between him and today's Chinese filmmakers.

"My biggest dream is how to make Chinese films affect all aspects of the world in terms of cultural value, so that foreign children can grow up watching our Chinese films, and the influence of our Chinese films can radiate to every corner of the world, and I am willing to pay my life for this!"

"Thank you!"

At the end of Yang Ming's speech, as soon as the words fell, the conference hall immediately resounded with deafening applause.

No matter what, his last words full of ideals and passions still let everyone feel his inner love and expectation for Chinese movies.

He deserved such warm applause.

Yang Ming bowed slightly to everyone below, and then calmly walked off the podium, no matter what happened in this life, he would always follow his plan and go on firmly, until the day of success.

"Thank you for your speech by Director Yang Ming from Huaxia, his speech made us realize that Chinese films will definitely take on more important responsibilities in the future world, of course, this is also the wish of all of us, let us thank Director Yang Ming again for his speech. ”

Subsequently, the leaders of the Luzon cultural department once again took the stage to thank Yang Ming.

As soon as Yang Ming returned to his seat, he received a text message from Minister Guo: "You kid is good, I didn't expect you to hide so many goods that you haven't taken out, don't leave after the next meeting, I have something to do with you!"

"Okay!" Yang Ming immediately replied to Minister Guo.

Next, according to the procedures of the meeting, filmmakers from China, Luzon, and Xinhua came to the stage to give speeches.

It's just that Yang Ming felt bored after listening to it for a while, he didn't hear what he wanted at all from the speeches of these so-called Chinese film elites, it was basically a cliché.

Of course, it is also possible that he himself is too demanding.

After all, for the Chinese in this world, they have the confidence and pride that the Chinese in the previous life could not think of, especially the mentality of the heavenly kingdom in China since ancient times, which has been exerted to the extreme in this life, and Yang Ming can also understand the thoughts of these Chinese film elites in this world.

Hollywood blockbusters, although they do have a strong impact on Chinese films at present, they are not a big deal.

At best, it is a disease of ringworm and scabies, as long as Chinese movies can be taken seriously, it is not worth mentioning.

Yang Ming shook his head silently in his heart, he still acted according to his own plan, but fortunately, Minister Guo attached more importance to his ideas, as a senior leader of a country's Ministry of Culture, his ideas can also represent the current official view of Chinese film culture in China to a certain extent.

As long as there is such support, it is enough for Yang Ming.

"What does Director Yang Ming think?" Ji Anmin took advantage of the person who had just delivered a speech to step down, leaned over and whispered, as soon as the words fell, he didn't wait for Yang Ming's reaction, and said to himself: "Director Yang Ming, this is my business card, if you have anything to do in Xinhua in the future, you can call me!"

"Central Plains Movie?" Yang Ming did not refuse, and after taking the business card, he couldn't help but read it out when he saw the content on it.

"Hehe!" Ji Anmin heard Yang Ming read out the name of his film company, and said in a low voice with a smile: "My hometown is Anhui, isn't Anhui just in the Central Plains of China!"

Yang Ming was not too surprised by Ji Anmin's explanation, he also knew about the two Chinese countries of Luzon and Xinhua, when the great man took advantage of the opportunity of the two world wars to forcibly occupy the Philippines and Indonesia, but in order not to leave a handle in the international community, and because of the exchange of interests, these two countries were not officially included in the territory of China.

But even if these two countries could not be included in the territory of China, during that time, the great men frantically emigrated to these two places, and even did not hesitate to commit genocide against the natives of the two places to make room for the immigrants.

Although there was a lot of pressure on the great men at that time, and even today, there are still mixed reviews, but in any case, the proportion of Chinese in Luzon and Xinhua today exceeds 90%, occupying an absolutely dominant position.

A Xinhua person like Ji Anmin is actually basically no different from the name of a Chinese country, and sometimes when the names of the two countries meet together, they are still fellow villagers!

Otherwise, now Western Europe and the United States will not always say that Luzon and Xinhua are actually autonomous provinces in China, at most they have one more name.

Yang Ming saw that the next speech on stage came from a director in Luzon, and what he said was not worth his attention, so he lowered his head and chatted with Ji Anmin in a suppressed voice.

"I didn't expect Mr. Ji to be the owner of a film company?"

"Well, the Central Plains movie was passed down from my grandfather, and I was more interested in movies in the family, so I took it over, but it can't be compared with Mr. Yang's Oriental DreamWorks, our Central Plains movie has the highest box office now, and it can only break 100 million. ”

Hearing Ji Anmin's words, Yang Ming nodded secretly, in fact, the cultural industries of Luzon and Xinhua are not very good.

After all, for the two countries, it doesn't matter if there is a Chinese culture or not, anyway, they are all in the same vein, and the introduction of Chinese films into China does not need any changes, and they can be directly released in theaters.

Sure enough, after listening to Ji Anmin's introduction to his film company, it also confirmed Yang Ming's guess.

Don't listen to the name of the company Central Plains Film is very noble, but don't say that compared with Oriental DreamWorks, compared with some third-tier film companies in Huaxia, Zhongyuan Film is also a lot worse, after all, neither the market strength nor the popularity of its actors can be compared with Huaxia.

The simplest example is Theater Avenue on the outskirts of Yanjing, which is comparable to Hollywood in the United States.

All young people in Xinhua who have the dream of becoming an overnight star, the first choice for them to embark on the road of stardom is always Yanjing's theater avenue, even if it doesn't work, you can go to the following major movie shooting bases in China, anyway, it is impossible for potential artists to stay in Xinhua.

In such a situation, how can the film circles of Xinhua and Luzon retain talents, that is, from the filmmakers of the two countries who have now taken the stage to give speeches, it can be seen that in fact, the film and cultural industries of the two countries basically have nothing to be proud of.

Yang Ming didn't have much curiosity about the situation of the Central Plains Film itself, but when Ji Anmin suddenly mentioned something, it immediately attracted Yang Ming's attention.

"Hey, it's not easy to open a film company now, make ten movies, and it's good to make money. If it weren't for the support of our own cinema chain, the film company passed down from my grandfather would have closed down long ago. Ji Anmin said a little helplessly.

Yang Ming didn't care about Ji Anmin's complaints in the first half of his words, but when he heard the latter words, he suddenly came to his senses and asked, "Does Central Plains Film have a theater in Xinhua?"

"Yes!" Ji Anmin nodded, he saw Yang Ming's very interested appearance, and couldn't help but feel a sudden excitement in his heart, and said with a hint of excitement: "Although Xinhua's film market is not bad, there are not many powerful film companies at all, and our Central Plains Film is also the second largest film company in Xinhua, among which the Central Plains Cinema Line belonging to the company is also the second largest cinema in Xinhua!"

Subsequently, in the face of Yang Ming's curiosity about his own cinema company, Ji Anmin couldn't wait to take the initiative to introduce a lot.

Zhongyuan Cinema Line, the second largest cinema company in Xinhua, has a total of 48 theaters and 172 screens!

For Xinhua's film market, it is not less.

Alas, it is a pity that the company's development has been sluggish in recent years, and the expansion plan of the cinema chain has not had a chance to be carried out. Ji Anmin looked at Yang Ming with a hint of expectation and said slowly.

Having said that, for Yang Ming and Ji Anmin, everyone's thoughts have basically been spread out on the table, and they are very clear to each other.

Yang Ming is very interested in the theater chain of Central Plains Film, and Ji Anmin is not opposed to transferring part of the shares of his own theater company, so the next thing depends on how the two sides talk.

"Mr. Ji, I don't deny my interest in your company's theaters, but this matter will not be decided until my company has been researched, and I will call you within two days at most!" Yang Ming thought for a while, and solemnly promised Ji Anmin.

"Okay, I'll wait for your call, Mr. Yang!" Ji Anmin said happily.

He didn't feel unhappy because Yang Ming immediately answered, and even a little excited, the other party was so cautious, obviously he must have attached great importance to this cooperation, otherwise he would have such an attitude, in addition, Yang Ming is so young, but his demeanor always shows a steady demeanor, which reassures Ji Anmin that the other party is not talking casually.

The more than two-hour Chinese Film Development Conference passed in the chat between Yang Ming and Ji Anmin.

For the speeches at the conference, except for a very few people who can still attract Yang Ming's attention, other people's speeches are simply heard from the left ear and the right ear, and there is no nutritional value.

However, after the conference ended, Yang Ming couldn't leave for a while, and after talking to Ji Anmin, he walked in the direction of Minister Guo.
