In the past ten days, "Avatar" has been raging in the mainland, and no one can stop it, which has seriously frustrated the confidence of many Chinese filmmakers.

After the release of the "Guiding Opinions", major websites pushed them in the form of headlines, and experts from all walks of life began to interpret them from various perspectives.

"China wants to transform into a film powerhouse and launch seven development goals!"

"The State Council has introduced ten major measures for the prosperity of the film industry, and the development of the film industry has ushered in favorable policies!"

"The State Council promotes the listing of state-owned film enterprises and promotes the formulation of the Film Industry Promotion Law!"

At the same time, major domestic film companies also collectively held meetings to study the content of the "Guiding Opinions". Large state-owned enterprises such as China Film, Shanghai Film, and West Film have begun to discuss the possibility of group listing, because the "Guiding Opinions" proposes to actively promote the restructuring and listing of state-owned and state-controlled film enterprises, and for large state-owned enterprises such as China Film, they can use the capital market to become bigger and stronger, and become the leader of Chinese films again.

Century Summit is no exception, and the company's senior management is in the conference room to discuss the impact of the "Guiding Opinions" and what are the benefits to Century Peak.

At this time, Zhang Ran was talking about the theme park, and the theme park project in Lin'an failed to pass the approval of the National Development and Reform Commission last year due to the large area occupied, but after the "Guiding Opinions" came out, the possibility of the theme park passing the approval was greatly improved.

Just as he was talking, Zhang Ran's mobile phone suddenly rang, it was the phone of Liu Dali, director of the Zhijiang Radio and Television Bureau, he said to Wu Ruide and them, walked to the side and connected the phone.

Liu Dali's slightly excited voice came: "Mr. Zhang, have you seen the "Guiding Opinions" launched by the State Council? The state has decided to promote the development of science fiction, magic and other heavy industry films, and our Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival is mainly science fiction and magic. The state has introduced this policy, and we should be able to get the approval for the application again!" Speaking of this, he asked tentatively: "Last time I called you, you told me that it should not be a problem to declare again after a while, it seems that Zhang always got the news a long time ago and knew that the state would launch this policy." ”

At this time, Zhang Ran had no need to hide it: "The last time you called me, I had just come out of *** to participate in the Prime Minister's film symposium. That symposium was to solicit suggestions from filmmakers on the "Guiding Opinions". After reading the document at that time, I felt that whether it was the Century Film Capital or the Fantasy Film Festival, it was particularly in line with the national strategy. ”

Liu Dali was slightly shocked, this kind of symposium involving national policies will not invite people randomly, those who can be invited by the prime minister are people who are highly valued by the country, and it seems that they will have to contact Zhang Ran more in the future. However, he did not show any abnormality, and said with a smile: "I see. We will organize another declaration as soon as possible, and Mr. Zhang can speak in the General Administration, so I have to trouble Mr. Zhang to worry more about this matter!"

The Fantasy Film Festival is particularly important to Zhang Ran's entire film industry plan, and it is impossible to sit idly by: "Of course. However, I think that now we should not only consider the issue of bidding, but also the work after the application. I think so, can we divide the film festival committee into two parts, one is responsible for the bidding work, and the other is a delegation formed by the government and the summit of the century to study and inspect world-class film festivals, such as Berlin, Cannes and other places, learn from others, and set up a working group after returning to formulate a set of practical implementation plans. ”

Liu Dali praised from the bottom of his heart: "Mr. Zhang's suggestion is good, and learning from the advanced experience of overseas film festivals can save a lot of detours." ”

Zhang Ran paused and said, "Next month, I just want to take the crew of "One Man Puts on the Lights" to Berlin, if possible, you guys will team up, and then we will go to Berlin together!"

Liu Dali's eyes lit up, if other people led the team to the film festival, the film festival may not be reasonable, but Zhang Ran is very influential in the world, go with him, you can really get the true scriptures, and immediately said: "Great, if we form a team to go to the film festival by ourselves, we don't even know where the temple gate is, and it is much easier to have Mr. Zhang lead the team." ”

After chatting with Chen Dali for a few words, Zhang Ran hung up the phone, returned to his seat, and continued to discuss with Gao Jun.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Ran came to a barbecue restaurant not far from Nortel, and sat around with Ning Hao and several students majoring in film production at the 09 level of Yaying, eating barbecue, drinking wine, and talking about movies.

Zhang Ran is famous and the dean of the college, and many students are a little worried at first. However, after chatting for a while, the students found that he was a very casual person, and they gradually relaxed, and the atmosphere became warm.

After chatting for a while about "Avatar" and the "Guiding Opinions" just released today, Zhang Ran took a sip of his cup and said: "After the "Guiding Opinions" comes out, the development speed of domestic films will be faster, and there will be a large number of hot rushes into the film industry, even Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu and other companies will come in. For young directors, there are many opportunities. In this day and age, if you can't get out, you can only blame yourself. But I still hope that everyone will be calm, write the script solidly, and make the movie well! In this regard, we should really learn from Korean filmmakers, I don't know if Director Park Chan-wook said when he gave you a lesson, many Korean directors are known as Orld Cup directors. It means that the World Cup director, the World Cup is held every four years, and many directors only make a film in four or five years. It's not that they're inefficient, it's that they've been polishing the script. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Ran glanced at several students of the 09 class and said, "In your junior year, each of you has to submit a script for selection, and the Summit of the Century will provide funds for the top three." Your senior brother Wu Ershan's "Sword and Laughter" is the top three, the movie has been filmed, and it will be released in May. I wonder if you've started preparing the story?"

Several students in the class of '09 nodded one after another: "I'm preparing." ”

"I was thinking about the story before I even joined the film. ”

"Me too, I've been working on it for several years, and I've written several drafts of the script. ”

When Zhang Ran heard the students say this, he stretched out his hand and shouted, "Wu Renchao, tell me about your idea." ”

Wu Renchao is similar to Wu Ershan, who was an advertising director before entering Asian Film. He is not from a professional background, and his filming level is far inferior to Wu Ershan, but he is very good at telling stories. Among the students of this year's Yaying, several students are like this, such as Xin Yukun. In addition, Wu Renchao is also a science fiction fan and has published it in "Science Fiction World".

Hearing Zhang Ran's name, Wu Renchao was a little nervous, and stammered: "My script is called "Saving Einstein", and the story is like this, in the future, war and pollution will make the world like hell, and human beings can only survive in the dungeon. Many people blame Albert Einstein for everything, believing that it was his theory that led to the catastrophe of mankind. As a result, some of the madmen tried to smuggle Einstein into 1914 through a time machine, trying to kill Einstein before he published those five papers. In order to cope with this situation, the Time Authority predicted the time and area of the stowaway's arrival based on time fluctuations, and sent the time police to half an hour before the assassin's arrival, and set up an ambush to kill the assassin. This time, the male protagonist Al and the female protagonist Agatha are sent to 1914, half an hour before the assassin arrives, in an attempt to prevent the assassination from happening. But this time there was an accident, and a series of things happened, and in the end, Al and Agatha took out the assassin with great difficulty, and Instein was killed. ”

Hearing this, everyone was a little surprised: "Einstein was killed, what should I do? Could it be that I go back to the future, teleport to 35 minutes before the assassination, and do it again?"

Zhang Ran shook his head with a smile and said: "No, history has been rewritten, Einstein was already dead when he was a technician, no one will remember him, once they return to the future, they will immediately forget Einstein." ”

Everyone also realized the problem: "yes, what should I do?"

Wu Renchao smiled smugly: "At this time, Agatha told Al a secret, Al is a clone of Einstein. In Al's mind there are two sets of memories, one of the time cop and one of Einstein's memories. Al thought he had been a time cop for a long time, but in fact it was an implanted memory. Now that Einstein is dead, Agatha activates Einstein's memories in Al's mind and makes him Einstein, thus putting history on track. ”

Everyone present was stunned after hearing this, and only after a few seconds did they spit out a sentence: "Damn, this is okay!"

Zhang Ran didn't see the complete script and couldn't comment on this story, but he felt that the creativity was very good, and nodded slightly: "It sounds very interesting, but the characters in this story are all foreigners, and they are foreign language films, and the peak of the century can't be invested." ”

Wu Renchao scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Summit Entertainment is a company under Century Peak, if my story is good enough, I think they will be interested." ”

Zhang Ran smiled and applauded, and said, "Okay, it turns out that you have this idea, and you have the guts!" I can promise you that if the script is good enough, the school will help you hand it over to the manager of Summit Entertainment." However, you have to understand that Hollywood has much stricter requirements for scripts than in China. The same story can be easily established in China, but there is a chance that it will be rejected in Hollywood, are you mentally prepared for this?"

Wu Renchao nodded and said, "This story has been in my mind for a long time, and I want to try it." ”

"Then try it! Good luck!" Zhang Ran didn't say more, looked at Xin Yukun, and said, "Xin Yukun, tell me about your idea." ”

Xin Yukun touched his nose and said: "The story I conceived is called "Heart Labyrinth", and the story is like this......"

After listening to the descriptions of several students, Zhang Ran was very satisfied, and these stories sounded very good.

Among the students enrolled in the school this time, there are fewer students from the professional class than Wu Ershan, and these students have a common characteristic, that is, they are particularly good at telling stories. What Chinese films lack most now is directors who can tell stories, and I believe that after these students graduate, Chinese films will open a new chapter.

However, Zhang Ran still reminded: "Your stories all sound good, but good ideas don't mean good scripts." You have all watched "Avatar", it is actually a very old-fashioned story, but if you analyze it carefully, you will find that the script is quite solid. Whether it's the story or the characters, I can't find anything wrong, unlike many of our movies, which are full of loopholes, like a sieve!"

Several students nodded: "Teacher Zhang, I will write the story well!"

Zhang Ran smiled at the students and said: "Chinese films urgently need a lot of fresh blood, especially directors who can tell stories, your ability in this area is very outstanding, I believe there will be a bright future, I believe that Chinese films will be wonderful because of your participation!" Speaking of this, Zhang Ran picked up the wine glass and proposed: "Movies are the common dream of all of us, and now Chinese films are getting better and better!

"Cheers to Chinese films!" everyone present stood up and raised their glasses.
