Chapter 326: Shine
The People's Daily, which has an incomparable influence in China, has almost an official authoritative newspaper and magazine that has devoted two full pages to reporting on Chen Tian.
not only comprehensively and detailed the achievements of Chen Tian from his debut to the present, but also made a film review of "Raid" with thousands of words.
The film critics not only analyzed the content and story structure of "The Raid" from the content to the narrative style, but also praised Chen Tian to a very high position.
Although there is no direct comparison between Chinese and domestic directors and Chen Tian in the page, the article reminds domestic directors that they should learn from Chen Tian.
At the end of the article, the words "Our director is on the way!" are used.
The last sentence directly positions the domestic director in the position of Chen Tian.
This issue of "People's Daily" almost set Chen Tian in a very high position, and for domestic directors in China, such a comparison is unacceptable to them.
"I know that Chen Tian is an excellent director and there is a lot to learn from us.
But we also have what we are good at, there is still a gap between China and the world film industry, we can't go to the world all at once, that's not very realistic.
We need to move forward step by step, and it won't do us any good to take too big a step. Feng Xiaogang, a senior director in China and a short contact with Chen Tian, took the lead in standing up.
"Chen Tian's success is a miracle, and miracles are inseparable from the soil that happens, at least at present, there is no suitable soil in China, although it is not ruled out that there will be such a miracle in the future, but not now.
I think we should look at it rationally. Just because he's a yellow doesn't mean he should be a benchmark.
Of course, this is not my word that I am afraid of challenges. I think we should keep our feet on the ground.
If you change the environment. Maybe he needs a different way to succeed. ”
Zhang Yimou, the most influential director in China, who followed Feng Xiaogang, also spoke, and he and Chen Tian also had a direct confrontation in the North American market.
Compared with some other small directors, he and Feng Xiaogang's words seem very rational.
But when it comes to the media, they always want the best way to win the attention of their readers.
"Justin, director Zhang Yimou and director Feng Xiaogang think that your success is inseparable from the environment, they think that you may not be able to achieve the success you make in a big environment like Huaxia, do you think so?
Do you think they're right? You had a direct confrontation with director Zhang Yimou in North America, and you ended up winning a crushing victory. ”
"I'm sorry. I think Zhang Yimou's predecessors must know me very well, the Chinese film market is still immature, and it is indeed very difficult to succeed, but I know that what he said must not be what you said.
If you are interested, you can go to Beiying to watch my symposium. ”
Facing the reporter's telephone interview, Chen Tian hung up the phone with a smile.
He is not the rookie who has just debuted, even if this is China, he knows that reporters know no borders.
He will leave Huaxia the day after tomorrow and return to the United States, where he will begin filming "League of Assassins".
Before leaving, he will go to the Beijing Film Academy tomorrow for a symposium, which is Han Sanping's invitation. He eventually agreed to the invitation.
Chen Tian hopes that the Huaxia Film Market will mature as soon as possible, which will be of great help to his future expectations.
The students, teachers and students of the Beijing Film Academy did not decide to influence Huaxia film first. But they are also the foundation and the future power of Chinese films.
"Do you know? Chen Tian is coming to our school to give a speech, and now many people are crazy, and admission tickets are hard to find!"
"Really? Chen Tian is my idol, he is not only handsome but also talented. ”
"Just you, a nymphomaniac, do you think you are Chen Xin, Zhang Jiani, maybe you might succeed if you go to South Korea. ”
"Fuck off, you're saying I'm ugly, aren't you?"
……
Zhang Jiani turned her head to look at the girls who were playing in front of her, and turned her head to stick out her tongue at Chen Xin beside her.
"This Nizi is secretly proud in her heart. Chen Xin pinched Zhang Jiani, and the two returned to the dormitory in a fight.
attracted the attention of countless people along the way, although their roles in "Raid" were not important, "Raid" shined, and Chen Tian chose them.
This has given them countless media attention, and more Huaxia film and television companies have extended olive branches to them.
"Jiani, Xinxin, you're back, I need your help with something, okay?" A girl stood in front of Zhang Jiani and Chen Xin.
"Please?" Zhang Jiani looked at Huang Shengyi, who was not in a good relationship with her, suspiciously.
She, Chen Xin and Huang Shengyi are not students of the same class, Huang Shengyi is one year older than them, and she is also a real undergraduate student of Beiying, not a higher vocational student like the two of them.
It's also a combination of thousands of people, and people are always comparative, although the two sides are friendly.
"Yes, everyone knows that you have a good relationship with Director Chen Tian, and how many people in the lecture hall symposium tomorrow want to get the admission tickets, but now most of the admission tickets are taken by the school.
Various film and television companies and media took away some of the tickets, and then the teachers and some outstanding alumni plus students had 1,000 tickets.
Now I only have a few of them, and many friends ask me to ......" Huang Shengyi said with his hands folded and pouting.
She had promised her friend that she could get tickets, but now she could only get two tickets, which was still far from the ten she had promised.
Even though she is usually surrounded by many people, she can't get tickets for tomorrow's symposium, so she decided to come to Zhang Jiani and Chen Xin in person.
"Justin, my phone is flooded, I don't even know what to do, and now it seems like a lecture hall can't meet the demand.
Beiying was asking me if I could change the venue, and they wanted to put the symposium in the stadium, or simply the stadium. On the other end of the line came Eric Lomis's helpless voice.
"Eric, I think you can make a decision for me, and if you can, I hope to hear as many people as possible.
In fact, this symposium is not just a summary of my own experience. In fact, it has been of great help to our Miramax deployment in Huaxia.
By next year at the latest, we will fully enter the Chinese market. So tomorrow's symposium is another platform for us to communicate with them. ”
"Justin. I understand what you mean, in fact, I also want you to move to a bigger place, which also shows that your influence now, if it is North America, maybe ......"
"Eric, are you mocking me in disguise? Be careful that I let you stay in Huaxia and not allow you to return to the United States. Chen Tian said with a smile.
"Well, I just appreciate, and now I inform them. ”
When the news came out that the venue of the Chen Tian symposium had been moved from the lecture hall to the gymnasium, the students of Beiying became excited.
Although they are still students. But has entered the circle of the film market, no one does not want to make a world in this industry, and Chen Tian has proven himself, and he has proven himself in Hollywood, the highest palace of film.
The gymnasium, which can accommodate 5,000 people, is undoubtedly much better than the lecture hall for 1,000 people, and Chen Tian's miracle aura color is too attractive to them who are eager to succeed.
The Beijing Film Academy on September 28 attracted countless people, and the parking lot outside the campus was already full of various vehicles.
One by one, the students made their way to the gymnasium from all over the place, and many of them wore equipment such as binoculars.
"It's coming!" Chen Tian looked at Beiying who was getting closer and closer outside the window and said, this was his first time coming, but he had already checked the basic information on the Internet before coming.
Beijing Film Academy is the only film professional school in China, the largest in Asia, and a world-renowned film school, which has been 50 years since its inception, and the predecessor of Beijing Film Academy is the Performing Arts Research Institute of the Central Film Bureau, which was founded in 1950.
The school has been established for more than 50 years. Beijing Film Academy has cultivated more than 20,000 filmmakers for the Chinese film industry, and is known as the "cradle of Chinese film talents".
The gate of the North Shadow appears in view. In the distance, you can see a group of people standing at the door of the North Shadow.
A banner hangs above the school's gate, "Welcome Director Justin Chen to the school!"
"It's coming!"
"Chen Tian is here!"
"I'm so excited, I finally saw the idol, how nice it would be if Chen Tian could take a fancy to me!"
In the crowd, many people looked at the cars coming from afar and became excited, and at the front of the crowd was the vice president of Beiying and the heads of several departments waiting for Chen Tian's arrival.
"Xiao Chen, how popular you are now, you can't hide your secrets today, you must teach you everything. Sitting next to Chen Tian was Han Sanping, who came together.
Facing Chen Tian's half-joking tone, Chen Tian shook his head with a smile: "If I hide my secrets, you definitely don't know, but I think I will do my best." ”
The car stopped at the gate of the school, and the driver in charge of driving the car took the lead and helped Han Sanping open the car door first.
Chen Tian opened the other side of the car door and walked down by himself.
The leaders of Beiying immediately greeted him, Chen Tian looked at Beiying, and saw from a distance the words written on the stone, "Respect the teacher, pass the torch from generation to generation!"
The leaders embraced Han Sanping, while some senior teachers tried to communicate with Chen Tian.
One by one, the onlookers followed the crowd to the gymnasium, and the symposium would begin in half an hour.
"I'm going around on my own, and I promise not to miss the start of the symposium, and I want to experience the campus of Beiying. ”
In the face of Chen Tian's request, although the leaders of Beiying were unwilling, they still let Chen Tian walk around the campus alone with Han Sanping's consent.
Sixty years of Beiying has a rich cultural tradition, and Chen Tian pretends to be a good person on the green path, feeling the different film culture from USC.
"You're still slowing down, hurry up, you won't even have a seat if you don't go. ”
"Do you have a telescope, and the gymnasium can't accommodate so many people, so you can only use telescopes. ”
"Why did I forget to bring it, you guys grab a place for me, I'll go back and get it. ”
Chen Tian looked at the four people hurrying past him, and the corners of his mouth were raised.
Such an act was undoubtedly the greatest recognition of him, and at this moment, a bald head wearing a very ordinary shirt hurriedly walked over from a distance.
Chen Tian just turned around and almost collided with the bald head who came over.
"I'm sorry, I'm really in a hurry. I'm so sorry!"
Chen Tian hadn't had time to speak. The bald head was full of apologetic words, and after a half-bow, the whole person hurriedly continued to walk.
Look at the back of the bald head in the distance. Chen Tian felt a little familiar, but he didn't see the other party's appearance, he just had a sense of familiarity.
This made Chen Tian feel a little confused, compared to the world film industry, he was not very familiar with the Chinese film industry, but the man who had just passed by gave him a sense of familiarity.
Loosening his frowning brow, Chen Tian walked towards the gymnasium from another road.
There are still ten minutes before the symposium starts at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the gymnasium of Beiying is already full of people.
This gymnasium is usually used for large-scale events and basketball games. At this moment, in the center of the basketball court is a makeshift platform, and chairs are placed on the court in addition to the table.
With the spectator chairs in the stands, it can accommodate almost 5,500 people.
However, even so, the gymnasium was already full at this moment, and many people were standing in the aisles, and the entire Beiying students and teachers combined were only less than 5,000 people.
Han Sanping, who was sitting in the first row below the stage, turned his head and glanced at the entire gymnasium, showing a satisfied smile.
Today, in order to welcome Chen Tian's symposium, Beiying adjusted all classes for the first time, in order to let more students come to the gymnasium to listen to Chen Tian's symposium.
Originally, Beiying didn't plan to do this, so he opened a lecture hall with a thousand people.
However, the hot vote situation made some people ask for connections to find Han Sanping's assistant, and Han Sanping knew how popular the Chen Tian symposium was.
He ordered the entire Beiying teachers and students to experience Chen Tian's symposium together. Learn the essence.
He very much hopes that this symposium will allow some people to learn more things and contribute to the development of Chinese films.
Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou also came to the scene. They not only come to study with tasks, but also participate in discussions with Chen Tian.
At this moment, they were sitting in the first row waiting for the host's arrangement, although they were very reluctant, but they still chose to be present in the face of the task.
"Chen Tian is here!"
I don't know who shouted, Chen Tian, who was about to enter through the door of the gymnasium, was recognized.
The crowd erupted in cheers, as if a heavyweight superstar had been ushered in.
Chen Tian didn't expect him to be so popular, Chen Tian was like an NBA superstar coming out of the players' tunnel, stretching out his hands and quickly high-fives with the people on both sides, and then quickly running towards the center of the court.
Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, the two top directors of Chinese films, glanced at each other, just as they were the first to stand up and express their stance before, they felt huge pressure.
is far more pressure than the box office popularity of "Raid" in China, although they know the gap between themselves and Chen Tian in Hollywood, they still have full confidence in their status in China, even if "Raid" is extremely popular.
At this moment, however, the two of them felt the pressure from the enthusiastic cheers.
Chen Tian didn't say hello to Han Sanping and the others, and jumped directly onto the stage, looking like he didn't have the slightest bit of a big director's shelf, nor did he have the self-restraint of a Chinese director.
"Hey, can you be quiet, everybody? if you're really welcoming me. Chen Tian took the microphone handed over by the staff, and then pressed down with both hands to signal quiet.
The whole venue quickly quieted down, and Chen Tian on the stage smiled very happily: "It seems that you still love me, welcome everyone here, whether it is leaders, teachers or students, and even friends and peers of some film companies."
I think you're all here today with the same name as me, and that's the filmmaker!"
Chen Tian's right hand quickly drew the three words "filmmaker" in the air, and a round of applause rang out at the scene, which slowly spread.
A bald man standing at the top of the stands opened his mouth in surprise as he looked at Chen Tian on the platform.
He also recognized Chen Tian as the person he had almost bumped into just now, but he didn't expect it to be Chen Tian.
It was only in the morning that he learned from his crew colleagues that Chen Tian would open a symposium at Beiying, so he left the crew and hurried here.
Chen Tian on the stage is dressed like an ordinary boy next door, but he has sunshine and confidence and mature charm at the same time.
The two temperaments that seem to be completely incompatible are perfectly integrated in Chen Tian, and many girls look at Chen Tian on the stage and become nymphomaniac.
"To be honest, I didn't even know what I was going to say when I was invited.
I made an outline on my computer. Start with the history of cinema. Then it turned to my success story. In the end, I gave up my previous choice and wrote casually.
Yes, today I did not have any preparation, no small note did not prepare in advance, it was completely casual.
Doesn't it sound extremely irresponsible, I think someone in the audience will blame me, I can only say sorry, but I still choose to say it casually. ”
Chen Tian's action of checking the pockets of his clothes made the scene laugh, and Han Sanping in the audience couldn't help laughing.
"No rules don't have to be. Regardless of whether a white cat or a black cat can catch mice, it is a good cat, and this truth is well reflected in him. Han Sanping turned his head and whispered to the principal behind him.
"I think I'd better change the old-fashioned name of the symposium, I would rather make it a seminar, you ask me to answer, I don't know if my answer is 100% correct, but I will definitely give you my answer as much as possible.
Although I would also like to stand here and talk about my success story for an hour, how I succeeded, I don't think it makes much sense, and if it is really meaningful, I think some so-called success philosophy books must have cultivated more successful people long ago.
Everyone has their own path, and the path to success for others is not necessarily suitable for you.
But different paths to the end always have the same problem. That's why I wanted to change it to an impromptu exchange meeting on my own initiative.
If you have a question, you can ask a question, and then I will answer it. ”
In the face of Chen Tian's own assertions. The student host of Beiying, who was about to play, could only look at the audience.
After getting an accurate reply, the host walked up to Chen Tian's side.
"I know there must be a lot of people in the room who want to ask questions, but I think everyone should follow the order.
Everyone is welcome to raise their hands to ask questions, and those who are called can ask questions.
I'm sure everyone here will ask the best questions for Mr. Chen Tian to answer, start now!"
After the beautiful host finished speaking, countless hands were raised at the scene.
Chen Tian snapped his fingers, and a student who was given the right to ask a question got the microphone.
"Hello Mr. Chen Tian, I am a junior student of the Department of Management of Beijing Film Market, unlike other students, we are more concerned about the management of the film market, that is, the future development plan of the film market.
Nowadays, the most developed film market in the world is definitely the United States, and our Chinese market has a large population and has unlimited potential, but the current market is far from other countries and regions, which is obviously inconsistent with our population.
Mr. Chen Tian, what do you think should be done in this market in China in order to do a good job and be worthy of its potential?"
Han Sanping heard this question and nodded, although he had briefly talked about this topic with Chen Tian before, he still wanted to hear Chen Tian's answer now.
After all, Chen Tian did not enter the Chinese market before, and "Raid" has entered now.
"Thank you for your question. Chen Tian picked up the microphone without any thought, his tone was calm, and the corners of his mouth were filled with a confident smile.
"It's so handsome, it's so charming!" Chen Xin, who was sitting in the fourth row, sighed, and Zhang Jiani next to her had the same idea, and sitting behind them was Huang Shengyi, who got Zhang Jiani's help to get the ticket.
However, Huang Shengyi was not happy in his heart, originally if it was a hall of 1,000 people, it would be considered face-saving, but now the gymnasium can accommodate 5,000 people, and now there are almost 6,000 people.
A ticket is not so valuable, and naturally it is not as valuable as it used to be, although her position is very good, but she is completely focused on Chen Tian on the stage at the moment.
Then he looked at Zhang Jiani and Chen Xin in front of him, as if he was thinking about something.
"It's a big question, but I'm very responsible to say that I've thought about it, and even thought about it.
First of all, the entire Chinese film needs time, not only the market but also the filmmakers, everyone needs time.
The growth and expansion of the market does not depend on one aspect, but on the cooperation of all aspects...... Simply put, it's hardware and software.
Just like a computer, you can't do without it.
Today's hardware is the number of theater screens, and now the number of screens in China is less than 2,300, while the United States is more than 20 times the number, but the population is only one-sixth.
Only when the number of screens reaches a certain level, the Chinese film market has the possibility of a box office blowout.
But why are there fewer theaters now? Why don't they open?
This requires us to think, first of all, for investors to be willing to invest, we must let them see that the interests are deposited, and there must be great benefits, otherwise it will be difficult to touch them.
And how to touch them needs software support, software is the quality and quantity of the movie, as well as the viewing habits we have developed and even the potential audience. ”
"The Symposium That Shines", this is Han Sanping's expectation for Chen Tian's symposium, looking at Chen Tian talking eloquently on stage, Han Sanping is full of confidence. (To be continued......)
PS: The domestic plot is almost over, and for the sake of the overall layout, the main battlefield is still in North America.
In addition, the reward is gone, so let's rush to full attendance this month
