Chapter 383: The cottage is not terrible

"Haha. The word "www.biquge.info cottage" came out of Lin Qihua's mouth, causing everyone to laugh.

"Do you think cottages are inferior?" Lin Qihua shook his head, "Actually, this is essentially the same, how did we rise in China, from the world's processing factories to cottage powers, to economic take-off and then to world powers, that's how it has come over."

All the technical blockades were broken through the cottages one by one, and we created an economic miracle that shocked the world. ”

"So, the cottage is not terrible, what is terrible is the nondescript nature of the cottage, just like when we do our homework and copy the papers of the same table, even the names of the other party are copied into it, and it is strange if the teacher does not find out.

What I want to say is to learn from each other's mature models in various fields, and use their technology and their models to commercialize our films, make movies with Chinese characteristics, and make movies with new themes that they have not seen.

The reason why our martial arts movies are so popular is because this is essentially a superhero movie, a superpower movie that they rarely see, and in their minds, it is no different from "Spider-Man". ”

"Oh, I see. Many directors exhaled in their mouths and woke up, and they also realized that it was true, the heroes with martial arts were not superheroes with superpowers?

"There are a lot of seniors, who say, either ****, completely learn from Hollywood, whether it is the content or the model, all together, the result is what the opposing predecessors said, in the field that others are best at, how can you compete with others?

But if we don't study, the road is getting narrower and narrower, and most importantly, we don't make money, and commercial blockbusters, although they have a lot of investment, are also high-yielding, and we can't get along with money, right? ”

Yes, many people below feel the same way, and they are depressed, who doesn't want to make money from foreigners? The problem is, there are more losses.

"Therefore, my opinion has just been said, use the model of Hollywood's commercial blockbusters to shoot domestic commercial blockbusters with our China, don't be too complicated plots, don't mix too many things, just make cool blockbusters that everyone likes to watch, and let the market evaluate and accept them.

For example, we have a series of stories such as the well-known superhero Monkey King and Havoc in the Heavenly Palace, which are completely in accordance with the successful commercial film model of Hollywood, to try and develop, so that everyone can see our superheroes and our stories.

For example, we have mythological stories from ancient times, such as Hou Yi's shooting of the sun and the war of the gods, all of which can be used, and Western audiences who are accustomed to the stories of magic and swords will have different feelings about mysterious mythological stories.

For 5,000 years in China, there are too many stories that can be used, and the elements of blockbusters: storytelling, novel themes, humorous daily life, grand scenes, and audio-visual sense with impact effects.

These are all successful practices of Hollywood, and we implant these factors in our stories to form our own commercial blockbusters.

As for the values, I think they are fully reflected in the words and deeds of the protagonist, and when have we seen a Hollywood blockbuster that expounds the concept in a long and large way?

So, first of all, to make a good movie, and then, to try to go out and make money, my opinion, that's it, thank you. ”

The applause rang out, although it did not necessarily approve of his words, but it did not affect everyone's appreciation of him.

There is no extremism, seeking truth from facts, there is no lofty, and many places have spoken everyone's mind.

Especially what he said, making movies is to make money, which is the only element of commercial blockbusters, and then he will think about other things, which is really in line with everyone's appetite.

Although he also brought his own private goods, such as advocating going out, he must have been instructed by Wei Zifeng and others, but before he invested in a movie and made a lot of money, it was so attractive.

Money is a good thing, and who doesn't like it? If you can invest in a movie that goes out and makes money, who wouldn't want to?

For them, investing in a movie and being able to earn twice as much is already a very good result, but as a result, he can earn dozens of times, how can everyone not be blushing? How can you not approve of it?

This is the truth, it is really in front of you, telling you that you can make money by doing this, make a lot of money, just ask, who will object?

"Now, I can finally sit on this sofa," Lin Qihua sat down on the sofa next to him, and said with a smile, "If there is any senior who is willing to teach in person, Qihua is willing to discuss and listen to the teachings with him." ”

It's a challenge, but a friendly one.

There was silence in the audience for a while, and then a big man with a beard stood up and laughed, "What you just said is good, the truth is not clear, I have something to say, I want to talk to you." ”

"Please. Lin Qihua stood up and invited with a smile.

Dahan nodded, came to the stage and sat down, "Let me introduce myself first, I, Liang Kuan, am a director." ”

"Yikes. There was a burst of boos from the audience, who doesn't know that he is the hottest first-line director at the moment? Except for a few super directors, he is the best, and he has made a few blockbuster movies.

"Director Liang: Okay. Lin Qihua sat down with a smile, "Please advise." ”

"Even if I can't teach, it's just that I agree with your philosophy a little, but I don't approve even more. ”

"Oh?"

"Actually, when you talk about it, you're all talking about the mud, everyone is good, it's no problem, it's just that you haven't made a good movie, so you can't make that much money, I mean, that's right?"

Lin Qihua smiled bitterly, "You say that, that's right, what I mean is to make a good movie, which is the premise of a high box office." ”

"And commercial blockbusters, the world-wide film model, are the only way to go out and make money, right?"

"It's not that it's the only one, just like some of our award-winning movies, when they win awards, they make money, but most movies, when they want to make money outside, they basically have to consider this aspect. ”

"Good. Liang Kuan nodded, "Do you know how many movies Hollywood produces every day, and how many movies can successfully make money all over the world? Do you know that even old film companies such as Paramount and MGM have gone bankrupt and been acquired because they can't make blockbuster movies?"

"I know some, but I certainly don't know as well as you do. Lin Qihua understood what he meant, still nodded, and agreed with the question he asked.

"So, the high cost of investing in making a film, and the unknown return, are the biggest problems that prevent capital from investing in it in a big way, don't you deny that?"

"Nope. ”

"We all know that for a commercial blockbuster to be successful, it is necessary to burn money, for example, if I make a comedy, the cost will be 60 million, then, if I want to make a commercial blockbuster, it will cost at least 300 million, or even more, the bigger the scene, the more money will be burned, there is no doubt about this. ”

Lin Qihua nodded, "That's true." ”

"The problem is, the movie I made for 60 million yuan has the same revenue in the Chinese market as the box office of 300 million, why should I do this?

It is said that going out can make money, but if you don't make money or even lose money, this risk is borne by investors.

As a director, I naturally hope that the greater the investment, the better, but investors have to consider the costs and benefits, and it doesn't matter if you make one or lose two, but if you lose a few more, who can stand it, it is not one or two million, but a hundred million or one billion. ”

The applause was overwhelming, which showed that Liang Kuan did speak to everyone's hearts.

"All directors hope that their films can be seen by more people, and all investors hope that their films can make money, which is inevitable and recognized by everyone.

However, it's not like you said, invest money in it, we have a lot of stories to shoot, foreigners will like it very much, the return is ten times or twenty times, you are lucky to do it, but it doesn't mean that everyone can do it.

Is it okay for you to do the first part, can you do the second part? Can you do it for the third part? Do you dare to pack tickets? You have to abide by the laws of the market. ”

"I admit that what you said is not wrong, temporary success does not mean that all people will succeed. Lin Qihua did not deny it, "However, if you want to make their money, you must do this, even in the Chinese market."

So many Hollywood blockbusters come in every year, and if you want to watch this genre, I look a lot good, and I don't have any fake Hollywood blockbusters you make, but if it is a novel and good-looking domestic blockbuster, you can achieve a double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office.

In fact, as long as the movie is good, even in Huaxia, it can guarantee a return on capital and even profit, and the overseas market is a place for gold rush, and only good enough movies can have this opportunity. ”

Liang Kuan shook his head, "You also said that you have to be good enough to have this opportunity, what is a good movie?

I'll still give you an example, you said that ancient mythology, the Great War of the Floods, the War of the Gods, and even the Journey to the West stories are all very grand and attractive themes, and this is not wrong.

However, first of all, the ancient myths of China are fragmented, without a mature system and a unified world background. ”

"For this," Lin Qihua frowned, and said, "Someone always has to do it, and in order to make a movie well, it's okay to sort out the relevant information." ”

"Who's going to do it?" Liang Kuan shrugged and sneered.

"I'll do it if I need to, I can. Lin Qihua replied calmly, his expression full of determination.
