"This is a summit forum to discuss the next development direction of the film and television industry. Gu Yuhan told him on the phone, "It is very important, which direction to go must be determined on this forum." ”
"I see. Lin Qihua knew what she meant.
"You were mentioned by me and my master, and asked you to participate as a screenwriter, I communicated your ideas to her, and she also agreed, you have to be mentally prepared, and when the time comes, you may be arranged to speak. ”
Lin Qihua was a little stunned, but he reacted quickly, this should be Xiao Ruoxi wanting to convey some thoughts through his own mouth.
It seems that in the field of film and television, it has not been able to exert its strength, is it because the thinking has not been unified?
Gu Yuhan was silent for a while, but still gave a definite answer, "That's right, in fact, in the film and television field, especially in the film field, there have always been two kinds of comparable ideas pulling, and no one is convinced by the other."
One is that we should comprehensively Westernize, learn from Hollywood, fully commercialize, and globalize; the other is that we must adhere to the characteristics of China, focus on martial arts, rural and other films, and follow the style of art films.
can't be like Hollywood, where a simple plot and cool special effects don't leave any impression on the audience.
The two styles have their own reasons and stalemate, and some people want to go to the middle school, but the works that come out, whether they are of the same kind or not, will be gone.
Now, the music industry is unbeatable, and the film industry has not yet made achievements, and it seems that it is going to be divided into a high and low. ”
Lin Qihua shook his head, such a battle of ideas is really boring, but it may be very important for those screenwriters and directors.
Tangled may be the best portrayal of their psychology.
"Okay, I'll be ready, and some of the words, to say on this, are pretty good. Lin Qihua said in a deep voice, he does have a lot of inspiration in his mind, plus his recent thinking about the film field, there are some things he really wants to say.
"I'm afraid that I, as a rookie screenwriter, won't be able to hold up the scene in front of all the senior bosses. He laughed to himself.
"Don't worry, it will be arranged. Gu Yuhan promised to let Lin Qihua feel at ease.
"In that case, obey Madame's orders. ”
"Poor mouth," Gu Yuhan scolded with a smile, and hesitated for a while, "If you can't do something, you can say a few words, this kind of thing can't be corrected in a day or two." ”
"Don't worry. ”
……
On the 10th, Yu Fengqin and Lin Qihua came to the Yanjing Hotel together to participate in the two-day symposium on the development of the film and television industry.
"Good guys, they're all here. Lin Qihua sat down in the venue, looked around, and was taken aback.
All over China, companies and studios related to the film and television industry have sent people, and the superstars above the first line are basically here.
Big-name film and television investors such as Guangming Media, Huayi Media, Nanyi Media, and Langhua Media, distributors such as Huaying, and screening theaters such as Orange Cinema Line and Wanyun Cinema Line all attended the event one by one.
These heavyweights jointly determine the market of all aspects of Huaxia Film and Television's investment, production, distribution and screening.
Compared with ordinary film festivals or award ceremonies, the people here have a greater and far-reaching influence.
Film superstars "Four Kings and Four Queens": Yu Wenhao, Yu Zhehan, Dai Weilu, Xia Zeguang, Xiao Ruoxi, Jiang Mingxin, Su Yifei, Jia Hanxue also attended, which is not seen elsewhere.
The opening ceremony officially began, and Wei Zifeng, president of the Film and Television Association, delivered an opening speech.
He briefly reviewed the achievements and gains made by the Chinese film and television industry in the past year, focusing on the progress of Chinese films and exports, and the situation is not optimistic.
Chinese films, which can have an impact, are basically limited to Southeast Asia and other regions, and South Korea has just opened recently, and it has almost no impact on Europe and the United States.
The main way is basically that several superstars participate in the filming of major Hollywood movies with their own strength and fame.
Due to the existence of the Chinese market, several superstars have shot a lot of movies and their fame has increased, but everyone knows that it is not just because of their strength, but because of the Chinese market behind them.
The movies produced by themselves, due to the chaotic style, can only fight in the nest, and the box office data is eye-catching and rising, but there are very few that can really have an impact on the outside world.
A martial arts movie directed by director Xiangjiang and starring non-mainstream actors, but it shined in North America, once again making Chinese martial arts movies highly acclaimed, and for many directors whose hearts are higher than the sky, the taste is quite uncomfortable.
Wei Zifeng summed up with some sadness: If we can't quickly unify our thinking, set our goals on overseas markets, and strive to make more and better films and promote them to overseas markets, then Huaxia films will always be able to stand still in their own circles.
Lin Qihua sighed in his heart, Wei Zifeng meant something, but looking at the investors and directors around him, their expressions already explained everything: his words did not play a role.
It is true, he said it so lofty, but he did not say the most crucial point, which is profit.
Investors invest in movies because they fancy its high returns, movies that can be liked by the market, and movies that can get high box office are good movies.
As for whether it can be pushed overseas, they don't care, in the past, they used to think that it would be very profitable to launch it, but after a few times of hard pit for the compradors of the capitalist countries, they did not have this idea.
The most important thing is that there are too many Chinese people, enough for them to make a lot of money, and they are not forced to go outside.
In particular, the films that the Film and Television Association wants to launch are basically films with strong political tendencies, and this type of film, when it is screened in North America, is basically a big loss, and no one wants to do it.
In the final analysis, it is still a matter of "money".
Capital pursues profits, and no one will get along with money.
As for the directors, in addition to money, they also have other pursuits, that is, the Oscars, how to get the Oscars is a very technical thing, except for a few super directors, ordinary directors, they are very entangled.
There was a time when Huaxia was crazy about worshipping the Oscars, hoping that through winning awards, Chinese films would be recognized by the whole world, and then the Chinese culture contained in them would also be recognized.
It's a pity that the malice from the world made them quickly realize that this road is completely impassable, and movies with strong Chinese culture can't even be submitted for trial.
The only ones that have a chance to win awards are martial arts-themed movies and country-themed movies.
Moreover, it is about exploring some shortcomings of human nature, which makes the Western judges feel a sense of superiority and may be recognized by them.
Do you want to carry forward the long history and culture of China in an open and honest manner, and want to tell the world that China is a very beautiful country?
The conference officially began, in the form of a summit forum, mainly by well-known people in various fields to speak, dialogue, and collide ideas in their fields.
If the following participants want to speak, they can also stand up and express their opinions and opinions, and the whole process is open and free.
The content of the morning arrangement is a dialogue between Liu He, chairman of Guangming Media, and Yu Qian, chairman of Nanyi Media.
In the form of dialogue, the two conducted in-depth discussions and prospects on the current investment status and future direction of the film and television field.
They unanimously agreed that the current situation of movie-watching has not yet reached the optimal proportion, there are nearly two billion people in China, and they have basically completed urbanization, but the total number of moviegoers every year is only less than 800 million, and the number of people who can watch movies many times a year is even lower.
For today's Chinese market, it is unscientific.
They believe that there are two main aspects: the first is the hardware, the viewing effect of the cinema, and the viewing effect of the TV and computer at home, the difference is not very big, and there is not enough attraction for people to enter the cinema;
The second is software, mainly the cultivation of film culture and the improvement of film quality.
Film culture is to make people get used to watching movies and enjoy watching movies in the cinema as much as possible.
The quality of the movie is also a factor that determines whether people go to the cinema or not. If a movie has a good reputation, high popularity, and high dissemination, then everyone will go into the cinema to watch it with curiosity.
If the feeling of watching a movie in a movie theater is completely different from watching it at home, then the attraction of the movie theater will be greatly increased.
The Chinese film market is definitely not only as potential as it is now, with a huge population base and greater consumption potential, the key is how to develop this potential and this market.
Subsequently, the two discussed how to use new technologies such as big data to further promote the deepening of investment in the film and television field.
The heads of other film and television investment companies are also very active, and they have a lot of interactions, and everyone agrees, that is, how to further expand the market cake so that everyone can get a piece of the pie.
"Wei Zifeng's assumptions are in vain. Lin Qihua and Yu Fengqin smiled.
"Compared with opening up overseas markets, expanding the Chinese market has higher benefits and less difficulty, so why not?" Yu Fengqin simply explained the reason.
"So, there are some things that someone has to do, such a person, called a pioneer, who hits his head and bleeds, if he turns back, he will be laughed at, if he continues to hit his head and breaks through the obstacles, he will come to a new world.
The one who earns the most is always the one who eats the first cup of soup. ”
"Anyway, what do you want to do, just do it, my sister will support you. ”
"Well, we don't just have to go out, we have to make money, we can have both, I've always thought so. ”
