Education is the most fundamental part of the film industry.

As the film industry becomes more and more internationalized, China's film industry must not only introduce, but also go global.

At present, only the funds have gone out, but the funds do not only belong to the film industry, after all, there is no one in the world who does not love money, and Huaxia's capital reasons invest in the world, and the whole world is happy.

In terms of actors, there are a lot of people who go out, but there are very few who can achieve excellent results and achieve international stars in the real sense, and the output force of this part is extremely weak.

In addition, the most important film output is not only cultural output, but also film production technology output and educational concept output.

In terms of production technology, Hollywood has always been the leader of the industry, no one can shake it, even European films have to bow their heads, and the gap in film technology in the East is even greater, even Japan and South Korea, which are big countries exporting film culture, are also very weak in technology.

As for the output of educational concepts, the three major film art schools in Beijing, Middle and Shanghai are currently doing it, but the effect is not too good.

Every year, there are many students who study abroad to apply for foreign film academies in the United States, Britain, South Korea, Russia and other countries.

However, only a small number of foreigners apply for China's top three, and most of them are in the graduate school, and the proportion of undergraduates is even smaller.

The rise of a real great power is inevitably the rise of a cultural power.

Although China's film box office revenue has ranked second in the world, it is only because of its large population that there is still a big gap with those leaders, and its competitiveness is not strong enough.

Enhancing the international competitiveness of films is the only way to enhance the country's cultural soft power.

Film internationalization is also a must choice for the Chinese film industry, film itself is a cultural product, the essence of film education is cultural education, and there is no distinction between cultures, the essence of which is the question of who leads whom, is the question of cultural discourse.

Film is not a single product, the whole industry chain includes: talent training, scripts, financing, production, filming, distribution, screening, derivatives, etc., which is a series of ecology.

In these three universities, the status of pure film theory is becoming more and more important, and at the level of overall film education, more and more attention is paid to the so-called theory.

In today's rapid dissemination and development of modern self-media, a large number of people who do not have a complete film knowledge structure can also begin to theorize and comment on films, and on the communication platform of new media, there are more and more interpretations that have little to do with film creation, such as some film public accounts, which are full of fallacies, and even completely ignore the original intention of the creator, and the answers given are also contrary to the core of the movie.

The goal of the Oriental Film Art Academy is to become a practice-oriented film education base.

For the students of the college in the future, they will export and introduce through the industry of Oriental Entertainment in Hollywood, first let them participate in the Hollywood film model, then participate in different film models around the world, and finally introduce them back, so that these talents will become the pillars and heroes of Chinese films.

It is not easy to apply for a private university in China, because at present, only junior college can be applied, and there is only one West Lake Business and Management College above the bachelor's degree, which is also a university that has taken a lot of effort to complete.

But with the predecessors, the future generations have a reference and template for doing things.

There are two ways for the Oriental Film Arts Academy to go, one is to set up a university in China and apply to the Ministry of Education.

The other is to go to Xiangjiang to run a university, which is slightly more flexible.

Fang Xiao directly denied the latter, because although this road is easy to walk, it is not conducive to subsequent development.

At the same time, Oriental Entertainment will also build a film and television base, and has been located in Zhangjiajie, planning to use the local geographical advantages to build the world's first film and television base.

Therefore, Fang Xiao hopes that the Oriental Film Art Academy can also be located in Zhangjiajie, Hunan, adjacent to the future film and television base, or even directly integrated into the film and television base.

The preparatory work does not require Li Zhifan's much effort, and with Fang Xiao's connections and resources, it is only a matter of time before he takes the lead in establishing such a higher education school, and there is no problem of resistance.

And Li Zhifan's job is to recruit educators for the future college.

The first step in recruitment is to recruit from the six colleges at home and abroad that cooperate, such as their retired teachers, and even poaching them directly.

These jobs are not handled by Li Zhifan himself, there are industry headhunters, and after the negotiation is completed, Li Zhifan will come forward to talk, and it will basically become.

The establishment of the university is also inseparable from the joint efforts of scholars and experts in the industry, and it is not enough to rely on money alone.

Moreover, if you want to reach the level of a famous school, you must be driven by famous teachers to develop first-class majors, and finally become a first-class famous university.

From the very beginning, the establishment of the Oriental Film Art Academy is not to excavate and cultivate stars in the future, but to cultivate real film talents, especially behind-the-scenes talents, which is very different from Chinese opera and drama in order to cultivate drama talents, and Beijing Film in order to cultivate film and television stars.

……

Zhangjiajie.

More than a year after filming the material for "Avatar", Li Zhifan arrived here again.

And Zhangjiajie has also become popular all over the world because of "Avatar", and there are more foreign tourists today.

Oriental Entertainment has won the right to build and use the Guangmao land here, and jointly developed it with Zhangjiajie Tourism Bureau, Scenic Area Administration and other units, and is expected to be completed in five years.

In many places, ground has begun to be broken, in addition to building base buildings, it is also necessary to consider the convenience of future shooting, and in addition, even the road construction cannot be a modern road, but an ancient road, and the quality must be guaranteed.

"Director Li, thank you very much for coming back to us and not bringing us such a big investment project!"

Seeing Li Zhifan again, the person in charge of the scenic spot management bureau is very happy, for so many years, the investment and construction of Zhangjiajie natural scenic spot has never been heard, and there are many film and television bases built here, but they are all small, and Hengdian Xiangshan can not be compared.

Now that Oriental Entertainment has arrived, it has won 3,000 acres of land in the first phase and directly immigrated to two villages.

"Thank you very much for the support and care of the leaders!"

Li Zhifan said, "What we can do at Oriental Entertainment is to do the best of the project, and we only hope that the local area can escort our safety and the common interests of us, the government and the people, and do a good job in this project." ”

"Of course, definitely support, definitely protect!"

The person in charge of the scenic spot said, "You let it go, rest assured, and strive to build this place into the world's top film and television base!"

"That's our vision!"

Li Zhifan said, "When the time comes, not only our domestic crews and production teams, but also Hollywood production teams, we must also attract them." ”

"That couldn't be better!"

"Happy working together!"

“……”

The demolition work and the development work were carried out at the same time, and the designers also invited well-known experts at home and abroad, including Western architects and Chinese architectural elites.

In addition, it also used Hollywood's special effects technology to design the whole picture of the future into a 3D special effects animation, no longer just a graphic design.

In the next five years, Oriental Entertainment will have a lot to do, and all the purposes are to contribute to China's film industry in addition to going public!

……

One month after its release, "Avatar" grossed $3.2 billion worldwide, successfully becoming the world's highest-grossing box office and breaking many records.

Such an achievement made "Avatar" not released worldwide, but obtained an extension key in many countries.

Especially in China, the extended key of "Avatar" has been until after the Spring Festival, that is, almost three months of screening time, who can compare with such care?

The other side.

"Black Dream 3" earned $700 million at the global box office, which is still a little bit of money for their investment of 150 million.

But "Mechanist 7" also invested 150 million, but only won 300 million box office, this failure made Paramount's pants lose money, and a week later, it was directly announced that all the copyrights of "Mechanist" were sold to Columbia Pictures and Television, and 2.5 billion US dollars were taken to compensate for the losses of "Mechanous Heroes 7", and at the same time to develop Paramount's later film plans normally.

For the failure of "Black Dream 3" and "Mechanous Warrior 7", netizens boiled down to suicide, if they didn't meet "Avatar", but separated from different release schedules, they might get a much higher box office than this.

At the same time, global filmmakers have once again seen the strength of China's box office, and they are amazed and ready to move, and the shift of the global film market's focus towards China has also begun with great fanfare.

The first to throw an olive branch to domestic film and television companies is 20th Century Film and Television.

They looked for two more powerful film companies in China, one is Huayi Media and the other is Huaer Film and Television, and they worked together to develop a number of film and television projects.

Huayi Media is also the leader in China's film industry, but this leader is likely to be handed over in the near future, because the rise of Oriental Entertainment has quickly caught up with Huayi Media and will surpass it.

Therefore, at this time, Huayi Media chose 20th Century Film and Television for cooperation, which is also a good choice to protect itself.

And Huaer Film and Television is a different field, they have never made a movie since their establishment, they have always made TV series, and they are basically TV series adapted from online IP.

Hua'er took advantage of the IP in her hands to participate in the tripartite cooperation, which is completely a piece of the pie, because in terms of the output capacity of film technology, they are basically zero.

The success of "Avatar" has really made many domestic film and television companies jealous.

Many large film companies are now starting to produce alien monster films, especially those established film companies in Xiangjiang, as if they see the signs, since they can't purely cater to mainland audiences, it is better to move to cater to overseas audiences, although their post-production technology still has to rely on Thailand, but imitation of genre and scenery, is their forte.

And many small film and television companies in the mainland have once again opened the road of copycats.

Just a month and a half after the release of "Avatar", a copycat movie called "Machine Man vs. Avatar" came out.

The funny thing about this movie is that when you open the production list, only the producers are Chinese, and the rest are foreign names.

But after a closer look, I found that from the director to the actors, they all used English names and called them stage names.

In the later stage, the team is all Thai, and the names used are all Thai to English, so the lineup can be called "luxury".

The most important thing is that this movie has also been approved for release!

This annoyed Li Zhifan, so he immediately filed a lawsuit against the producer of this movie through the legal department of Oriental Entertainment, and also sued ****.

This is the first time that a filmmaker dares to openly file a lawsuit against ****, and the industry is in an uproar, thinking that Li Zhifan's future film path may not be easy to follow.

Just like back then, several actors offended CCTV and sued CCTV for infringement, but they never appeared on the CCTV stage again.

The court quickly accepted the lawsuit and immediately entered the offline mediation.

For the infringing film and television companies, Li Zhifan must sue, and the compensation proposed is also very high.

As for the summary of radio and television, both sides have adopted "delay" tactics.

……

Beijing, Chaoyang Court.

A mediation hall.

Wang Wenlong, the current president of Oriental Entertainment, Ye Haojian, the general manager of the infringing Southeast Yishi Film and Television Company, Tian Dongdong, deputy director of the **** Legal Department, and lawyers from all parties sat side by side.

In the face of the court's mediation, the three of them refused to give in to each other, especially Wang Wenlong and Ye Haojian, who were still fighting a war of words at this table, but Tian Dongdong of radio and television was left aside, as if he had nothing to do with him.

And on the other side.

In a tea room opposite the courthouse.

Li Zhifan and Kang Peixiu sat opposite each other and drank tea quietly.

"Come, I'll refill the water for you, this water is airlifted from Kunlun Mountain, and the water quality is particularly high!"

It was Kang Peixiu who poured the tea, and it was Li Zhifan who drank the tea.

"Thank you, Mr. Kang!"

Li Zhifan smiled, "I have to trouble you to pour me tea, don't dare to be, don't dare to be!"

"Hey, that's all there to see!"

Kang Peixiu smiled, and the two of them didn't mention a word about the lawsuit.

At present, Kang Peixiu is still the chairman of China Film and the deputy director of ****.

It has always been his dream to be able to correct in radio and television, and he can even give up his position in China Film.

After the two of them had a drink, Kang Peixiu's secretary came over and whispered a few words.

Kang Peixiu's expression was grim, and he said to Li Zhifan: "You continue to sue, and the bigger the offensive on the Internet, the better." ”

"Doesn't that seem to be easy?"

Li Zhifan said lightly, "Come out and mix, it's better to save one more thing, if I can't do it this time, I'm afraid I don't want to release my future movies in China!"

"What are you afraid of, who doesn't have a few people above them?"

Kang Peixiu took a sip of tea and said, "By the way, what are you going to shoot in your next movie?"

"Forbidden theme!"

Li Zhifan said, "Well, it may not be easy to release in China!"

"Oh, yes, can you tell me about the plot?"

"Of course ......"
