Shaogong, who returned to Menghang, had not had time to announce a new shooting plan, and He Shouchang, the secretary of Shangju, came to visit, and the purpose of his visit was cliché, which was nothing more than hoping to take advantage of the current fame of Menghang's boss to serve as a special lecturer in Shangju, so as to improve the prestige of Shangju in domestic higher art academies. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Since Rong Guangrun, the dean of the opera, was transferred out of the school to serve as the director of the Chinese Dramatists Association, there has been no dean for two years. In the past two years, he has been the secretary and dean shoulders, and only this old man knows the bitterness and bitterness.

Although he wants to work hard, he is now old and frail, and he no longer has the energy of his youth to preside over the affairs of the school. Although the government is currently considering suitable candidates for the dean and secretary of the school, before retiring, He Shouchang still hopes to hire an internationally renowned senior lecturer for Shangju through his own efforts: "Hello, Mr. Ouyang, I am here to hope that you will consider the invitation to the opera again and go to the school to take up the position of senior lecturer, if you dislike the low position of senior lecturer, we can give you the title of senior professor, as long as you are willing!!"

Seeing the old man's sincere face, Shao Gong shook his head firmly. Seeing that he refused again as firmly as he did two years ago, He Shouchang said with a bitter face: "Mr. Ouyang, Shangju really sincerely invites you to join, if you dislike the senior professor and are not worthy of your identity, as long as I am not retired, I can fight for you for the position of dean, I believe that with your current international fame, it is not a big problem for the government to give you the position of dean of Shangju!!"

"No, you're wrong, I don't dislike the position because I don't want to be a lecturer. ”

Shao Gong shook his head apologetically again: "I believe you also know that I only have a junior Chinese certificate, and asking a guy with a junior Chinese credential to go to the drama as a lecturer is a joke in itself." ”

"First Chinese!!"

Although I had heard the news before, when I was in Sanyuanli, Menghang was deliberately rumored and smeared, and there was that in those entertainment headlines that smeared Menghang. But so what, the attainer comes first, this society has developed to the world where you don't look at the diploma but only look at the strength, as long as you have the ability, is the diploma important? ?

"Although what you say is true, so what, this society only looks at strength, and your current reputation at home and abroad, it is not an exaggeration to call you the first person in China. Although you only have a beginner's Chinese certificate, those old qualified screenwriters and directors in China, as well as the old professors of professional courses, can compare to your current momentum!!"

He Shouchang didn't give up at all and said: "Don't be so stubborn, Mr. Ouyang, Shangju and Menghang are neighbors, even if you don't look at the monk's face, you have to watch some Buddha face!!As long as you hold an important position in Shangju, in the future, Shangju will be Menghang's exclusive talent training cradle, which is beneficial to you and me." ”

"It's very advantageous, I don't doubt it. But ......" Speaking of this, Shao Gong looked helpless: "Do you think that the most scarce actor in our country is currently there?"

"No!!"

He Shouchang smiled bitterly: "Beiying, Nortel, Chinese Opera, Northern Dance, as well as the Broadcasting Academy and some of the top art schools in the country, there are at least dozens in total, and this is not counting some third-tier cities and local art schools. But although this sounds terrifying, the current artists in China are still very scarce, and even some old-timers are sighing that there may be no successor in the next ten years. So you ask me this question, and I will answer you Yes, our country is currently very rare in excellent artists. ”

"No, you're wrong. ”

Shao Gong shook his finger, and when he saw that he still wanted to say something, he stopped him and said: "What our country lacks most at present is the post-production personnel who provide excellent quality assurance for film and television works.

For a long time, magnesium films have been commented by the Chinese people: tasteful, big scenes, low-cost still make blockbuster effects, actors rely on strength to speak, performances are three-pointed, directors have vision, actors act hard, creative, variety, beautiful scenery and other labels.

And with such a production team, coupled with the high technology of the magnesium country, the competitiveness of the magnesium country film to conquer the world, so that the luxury, spectacle, fantasy and other characteristics of their film have been brought to the extreme, and the use of this high-tech means is really a resource that countries other than magnesium country do not have.

And this kind of resource has been monopolized by major Hollywood veteran film and television companies for a long time, so other countries want to achieve the uniqueness of magnesium countries in various visual modeling and scientific and technological means, one is to pay high remuneration to hire their production team, and the other is to engage in joint distribution, with the help of other people's power to distribute their own films.

But I want to tell you, whether it is hired with a high salary or jointly issued, the support they give will always be a second- or third-tier resource. Although those resources can make domestic films get unanimous applause in China, it is absolutely impossible to let domestic films go global. ”

"But Menghang has gone out, and Menghang also has the world's largest theater chain operated by the world's largest non-magnesium country, as long as Menghang is used as a springboard to launch domestic movies and actors, it must be a matter of course. ”

"It's ridiculous. ”

Regarding this naïve idea, Shao Gong smiled and said: "Our biggest problem at present is not the lack of excellent actors, nor the determination to create high-quality movies. Our main problem is quality, maybe you don't know that in the eyes of foreigners, domestic films are almost all unmeticulous and inhumane in their eyes. There are a lot of problems such as inauthenticity.

These problems are mainly reflected in the fact that the living conditions of people are not realistic, and the artistic expression is not meticulous, and at the same time, due to the existence of cultural differences that cannot be ignored, it is difficult for the big production in our eyes to arouse the recognition of foreign audiences. And if our so-called big producers can't understand it, they will say that it's shoddy, and foreigners won't buy such a film.

Even some foreign media believe that the charm of Chinese movies does not lie in its essence, but in the charm of celebrities. Some film companies tend to value the popularity and fame of a certain star in a period of time, rather than whether they are suitable for the role. When they take advantage of the popularity of a certain star to attract the attention of many fans and admirers, they ignore the refined requirements for the quality of the film, after all, a movie can't be exhaustive, once you easily ask for one aspect, you will lose the other requirements, and if you want to be comprehensive, the shooting cycle will inevitably be greatly extended, so the production cost will have to be doubled.

In the eyes of foreign media, the box office of some domestic movies only looks beautiful, but the real strength has reached overseas, and the bleak overseas market box office represents the true level of Chinese films.

Think about it, in recent years, in addition to the magnesium Chinese-style films shot by Menghang, some of the films that have won international awards are not biased or maverick and go abroad.

Although you will say that we don't have such advanced technology and concepts, and we can slowly cultivate the interface and so on, but what I want to tell you is that we really don't have much time. ”

Speaking of this, Shao Gong said with a worried face: "In fact, Huaxia films have always been eager to enter the overseas market, but so far they have achieved little. At present, the box office record holder of pure Chinese films overseas and the only one that has appeared on the Oscar red carpet and won something is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" filmed by Menghang. And if you look at the blockbusters, which are saturated in North America and Europe, Hollywood has chosen to take a global view based on the North American box office in the more competitive 21st century. I think they will not be too far away from the scene of a large number of people flocking to the country and crazy gold absorption. ”

Listening to Shaogong say this, He Shouchang knows that this topic is by no means impossible, in fact, in recent years, China has also been discussing how to curb the number of films released in China, but this kind of containment can only play a temporary role, if you want to really get rid of the fate of being fully devoured, you have to rely on yourself and rely on the work to speak.

As the first film and television group in China to go abroad, or a group that has settled in the magnesium country, Menghang is definitely more qualified to make such remarks than them. For a while, the heavy topic made He Shouchang's mouth dry suddenly. He took out his handkerchief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with a look of seeking answers in his eyes: "Then according to President Ouyang, how can we get out of this predicament!!"

"The way is what people think, there is no trapped death, only those who do not seek to break through the cocoon and bind themselves. ”

Shao Gong smiled: "We have the best opportunity at the moment. ”

"What a chance!!"

"Yes, some of my financial friends in the magnesium country have said that the magnesium country's economy has been very unstable in recent years, and they expect that the magnesium country may encounter an economic crisis this year. And such a crisis is the biggest financial turmoil in the magnesium country in recent years, which is enough for them to have no way to develop for several years. ”

Shao Gong said with a deep gaze: "And such a financial storm, although it will sweep the world, as long as the country deals with it well, it will not have much impact on China." However, once the magnesium country encounters a financial turmoil, it will inevitably lead to a sharp decline in the employment rate, and the living pressure of the magnesium country will increase significantly.

In such an environment, Hollywood's monopoly on film technology will inevitably loosen, and in the case of not being able to fill the stomach, as long as we use some means to poach those personnel to serve as teachers in domestic film and television bases, and open special effects, animation, props making and other courses, I think they will still be tempted, and it is a big deal that we give them double salaries, and those people should give priority to practical problems such as how to fill their stomachs. ”

"But will they come??"

He Shouchang said uncertainly: "They have a family and a business in the magnesium country, and they have left their hometown in China, who would want to come!!" Hearing him say this, Shaogong shamelessly showed a fox face and said: "Don't forget, we Menghang have a branch in the magnesium country, although we can't dig the personnel of the six old Hollywood companies for the time being, but the production team of Menghang's branch in the magnesium country, I can control it." Don't forget that I'm their boss, and if I let them come, they'll think about it. And we can also send professionals to study at the Dream Voyage branch in the magnesium country, so that we can learn from each other and make progress together?"

"That's a good idea. ”

He Shouchang said: "At present, the sincerity of Chinese film creators is gradually being lost, and speculation is becoming more and more obvious. The short production cycle is also a prominent problem, and many blockbusters seem to be in preparation for filming, but they are released in a few months. Normally, blockbusters should be at least about a year and a half, and many of the blockbuster production cycles are often completed in half a year. With such a production, and without a good post-production team to give it full nutrition, it's no wonder that it can produce a real blockbuster!!"

Speaking of this, he looked at Shao Gong and asked, "I don't know if President Ouyang's magnesium country technicians will choose to open courses in that art academy after they arrive in China!!"

"Naturally, it's on the play!!"

Shao Gong squinted and said: "The new course is not used to train artists, but some artists with low qualifications can also go to classes to seek another way out for themselves, and we can also call an experienced production team from China to study in the play, so that those personnel will master the professional knowledge of the magnesium country in the shortest possible time to fill their own shortcomings." ”

Hearing this, He Shouchang said: "But Menghang's film shooting in the magnesium country does not seem to have the three types of hero movies, science fiction movies, and magic movies that the magnesium country is best at in recent years!!"

"So what, the film that our team is currently shooting is only in the experimental stage, it is nothing more than to wait for better filming in the future to accumulate experience, you know, Rome was not built in a day, Menghang went to the magnesium country for a short time, it can rise from a messy company to today's influence, it can be regarded as a miracle. You can't expect us to make a movie as trans-era as Star Wars when we go!!"

"But as soon as you went, you made a movie of cross-era significance like Titanic, and it was still the world's No. 1 box office blockbuster. Such a proud film can become Menghang's masterpiece, and "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can also become the other two masterpieces of Menghang after "Titanic", after all, these three are films that made President Ouyang appear on the Oscars and all won trophies. ”

"Hey, that's all in the past, and I'm looking forward to the results of Menghang in the future. As long as we work our own, it is not impossible for Chinese filmmakers to go international on a large scale in the future. ”

Shao Gong said in a high-spirited manner: "Although Menghang is not involved in the three genres of science fiction, magic, and hero, we are taking another path, as long as we go right and go steady, we can also make that road a unique domain overlord of Menghang." ”

"It seems that President Ouyang is very confident!!"

He Shouchang was curious: "Can you tell me, what kind of road is that?"

"Of course. ”

Shao Gonghao said angrily: "That's a movie with a horror and monster genre theme." ”

"Horror, or monster type??"

He Shouchang was a little speechless, but considering that if the elite of the professional post-production team of Magnesium Country came to teach in the play, it would definitely bring them a unique new type of course advantage in China, thinking of this, He Shouchang couldn't help but look at Shao Gong excitedly and said: "President Ouyang, you have helped such a big favor in the play, I, how can I be grateful to you!"

"I am a Chinese, and it is my obligation to help my country improve the level of film and television production. ”

Shao Gong smiled and said, "Of course, if you are not grateful to me, I will not accept it." Seeing He Shouchang's embarrassed face, Shao Gong laughed a few times: "Don't worry, we Menghang are not short of money at the moment, and we won't ask you for compensation, but my technicians are here, and I have to pay them a salary when I go to the play." ”

"No problem, is this our obligation!!"

"As for me??"

Shao Gong thought for a while and said: "It's not too much to ask, just give each of our Menghang executives a dining card for you to play, to be honest, I like the food in the theater canteen very much." ”

"That's even more of a problem, I can assure you, whether I'm a drama secretary or not. As long as you don't fall into the play, you Menghang executives can go to eat for free. ”

"Then it's a word. ”

"It's a deal. ”
