On this day, Li Hong took Lin Zixuan to a symposium. ▲∴
In this era, it is very common to hold symposiums, there are poetry symposiums, novel symposiums, and a movie or TV series can also hold symposiums.
Of course, the premise is that the content of the discussion must cause a strong response in society.
A group of people got together to talk about why this work is so popular, whether the impact on society is good or bad, whether there is anything worth learning from, and summarize the experience to guide future creations.
This symposium is very important, because it was convened by a higher-level competent department, and the theme was to discuss the direction of Huaguo's future TV drama creation.
With the Huaguo TV Golden Oriole Award coming to an end, "Desire" has achieved a bumper harvest both in terms of audience reputation and awards.
In the news media, experts and scholars have made a lot of comments, and the reason why this drama is so popular can be summed up in three ways: close to life, close to the people, and close to the audience.
To put it bluntly, it is down-to-earth, which is in stark contrast to the lofty TV drama themes in the past.
From here, you can see what kind of TV series ordinary people really like to watch.
After "Desire" became popular, many TV drama production units swarmed to shoot this kind of family ethics drama, and the director zhì now appeared in a bunch of family ethics dramas on the TV screen in China, causing the audience to have aesthetic fatigue.
The main purpose of this symposium is to discuss how to develop the types of TV dramas and guide the selection of topics for TV drama production units in various places, that is, what can be filmed and what cannot be filmed.
For example, a few years ago, a local TV station filmed a number of TV series about goblins and ghosts, which were all the rage in China.
However, because some of these scenes are too scary, they will scare children and cause adverse social impacts, and now the review of TV dramas in the genre of supernatural ghosts is very strict.
The forum was held in Beidaihe, and the participants were elites from the television industry from all over China, and lasted for two days.
Beidaihe is located by the sea, is a famous resort and health resort in China, after the meeting can also have a sightseeing, free of board, which is equivalent to a disguised welfare.
Although working in a public unit does not make money as a businessman, you can enjoy various benefits.
Li Hong took Lin Zixuan to participate in this symposium, one is because Lin Zixuan is now the person in charge of the creation team of the art center, and the other is to take Lin Zixuan to meet his peers from all over the world.
It takes more than three hours to take a bus from Beijing to Beidaihe, and they set off in the morning and arrive at the place at noon.
"This year, due to lack of funds, we only produced less than 80 episodes of TV dramas, and next year we will wait for the funds to be allocated and strive to produce 150 episodes of TV series. Li Hong said confidently, "The current TV drama market is becoming more and more competitive, and it is not easy to innovate, but it is still required to be stable." ”
Li Hong is very satisfied with this year's results, although "The Story of the Editorial Department" has twists and turns, the results are unexpectedly good.
The 40-episode TV series "I Love My Home" that is being filmed should be completed by the end of the year, and it is just right to broadcast it during the Chinese New Year.
From "Alien Girl" to "The Story of the Editorial Department", they all win with theme innovation, but Li Hong knows that innovation is too difficult.
In the face of the rapid development of society, the thoughts of many screenwriters are still stuck in the last era, and the phrase "emancipating the mind" will never go out of style, and even she is accepting new knowledge every day.
Li Hong doesn't want to put too much pressure on Lin Zixuan, so it is best to maintain his current results and win steadily.
"Have you finished your speech?" Li Hong reminded.
"After writing, it is to talk about the problems of the countryside in the creation of TV dramas. Lin Zixuan replied.
Li Hong nodded, she was more at ease with Lin Zixuan.
Lin Zixuan understands that he should speak steadily at this kind of symposium, and the proposed proposal should not be too out of line, you can't say that let's make a martial arts film in Xiangjiang, or make a Western science fiction film, the audience will definitely like to watch it.
This is the immature form of the political zhì.
When I came to Beidaihe, I settled down in the hotel and stayed in a double room.
Lin Zixuan lived with a man from Shonan TV, and the two exchanged business cards and started talking.
This person's name is Ouyang Lin, about 40 years old, and he is the general manager of Huaguo Television International Cooperation Company, a subsidiary of Xiangnan TV.
This year, Shonan TV also made an attempt to separate production and broadcasting, and established a new unit called Huaguo Television International Cooperation Company, which is specifically responsible for the production and distribution of TV dramas.
As an insider, Ouyang Lin knows Lin Zixuan's details.
The Beijing Television Art Center was established less than a year ago, but it has achieved such impressive results, in addition to having Huaguo TV as a backer, Lin Zixuan has played an important role in it.
When insiders watch a TV series, they look at the producers, directors, and screenwriters, and they can determine the quality of the TV series.
Ouyang Lin thought about the way out of Chinese TV dramas.
He believes that we should boldly learn and draw on the experience of Xiangjiang and Baodao TV drama production zuò, and that Xiangjiang's martial arts films and Baodao's romance films can be filmed, and the audience's preferences should be the priority.
We will shoot what the audience likes to watch.
Chen Changle of Huacheng TV also thinks so, if the audience likes to watch, the advertising revenue of the TV station will be more, and everyone can make money, which is the difference between local TV stations and Huaguo TV stations.
Local TV stations are freer, more daring, and dare to try new things.
"Xiaolin, you are welcome to come to Shonan as a guest in the future, if there is a script that cannot pass the review in the capital, you can come to Shonan to shoot. Ouyang Lin warmly invited.
Lin Zixuan nodded and agreed, he came to make friends when he participated in the symposium this time, many friends and many roads.
In the afternoon, it was time for a meeting, and the leaders from the General Administration talked about the achievements made in the field of Chinese television last year, pointed out some shortcomings, and made a summary, and then it was time for everyone to speak freely.
Lin Zixuan's speech was "Innovation and Breakthrough of Rural TV Dramas", which was all old routines and nothing new, and he pieced it together from the newspaper.
At the end of the meeting, Li Hong took Lin Zixuan to a small conference room, where the leader of the General Administration named Wu Zhenhui was inside.
"Mr. Li, Xiaolin, sit casually. Wu Zhenhui and Qidao, "Although your center has not been established for a long time, it has made great achievements, which shows that President Li is a good leader." ”
"Thank you for your concern. Li Hong said politely.
"I'll just say it directly, a few days ago, the Beijing Film Studio handed over a notebook, called "The Great Satan", which is about the current boom in going abroad, which has attracted the attention of the superior leaders. Wu Zhenhui said in a deep voice, "It's just that this book has little effect on publicity, after all, the movie audience is limited, and the book itself is a little problematic." ”
"You mean to make a TV series?" Li Hong said in understanding.
"Normal going abroad is okay, but you can't go abroad blindly, without a purpose, that is irresponsible for your own future. Wu Zhenhui criticized, "You have to try to reflect this problem truthfully, you can investigate it, learn more about the situation, and write a book that can arouse the emotional resonance of the audience, Xiaolin's "Desire" is not bad." ”
