The symposium was full of industry insiders, and they were well aware of the gap between domestic films and Hollywood blockbusters.

This matter caused great controversy, and the parties argued endlessly for the sake of interests.

The theaters insist on causing Hollywood blockbusters, they don't care about the life and death of the studio, with Hollywood blockbusters, there is a box office, they can get more money, and the theater can survive.

Otherwise, there will be fewer and fewer audiences, and there will be no one in the cinema, so they will have to close their doors.

In fact, the proposal to introduce foreign blockbusters by using the account-sharing method was put forward by the theater side and was supported by the General Administration.

However, this was a huge blow to the studio.

Why do audiences lose interest in domestic films?

One is the vigorous development of the TV industry, which has seized the movie audience, why should you go to the theater to watch movies if you can watch TV for free at home, and domestic movies are not good.

In addition, the influx of videotapes has made the Chinese people see foreign blockbusters, and they are even less interested in watching domestic movies.

Therefore, the fundamental reason is that the quality of domestic movies is not high, the content is seriously didactic, there are no big scenes, and they are not exciting enough.

In a word, domestic movies are out of touch with this era.

This is a problem left over from the planned economy, when the state directed the production of films, did not pay attention to the market, and did not care about the audience's preferences, they were all propaganda films and art films, and the market was killed.

Now the audience has broadened their horizons and has a higher pursuit, so they don't buy it.

The time has come when Huaguo's film industry has to be reformed, otherwise it can only be a dead end, but the major film studios still want to continue to struggle, and they don't want to go toe-to-toe with Hollywood blockbusters so quickly.

They strongly oppose the introduction of Hollywood blockbusters, and once the audience gets used to watching exciting blockbusters, domestic movies are even more unpopular.

Competition sounds good, but what kind of competition can you take?

The investment in Hollywood blockbusters is tens of millions of dollars, and the cost of domestic films is only a few million yuan, there is no money, no technology, and no talent, the gap between the two is too big, and he is not a heavyweight player at all.

Many studio leaders are pessimistic, believing that the introduction of Hollywood blockbusters may lead to the demise of domestic films.

Experts and academics in the film industry are divided into two camps.

One faction resolutely resists Hollywood blockbusters and defends domestic films, and they criticize Hollywood blockbusters for promoting American supremacy, which will have a negative impact on the minds of domestic audiences.

The other faction advocates opening up to the outside world, insisting that only by introducing Hollywood blockbusters can the Chinese film market be activated.

Under the attraction of Hollywood blockbusters, the audience enters the theater, the box office rises, and the market is prosperous, there will be more funds to enter the film industry.

It's a virtuous circle.

It's just that in the process, foreign filmmakers will make a lot of money from home.

This year is a critical year for the Chinese film industry.

The General Administration has made up its mind to reform, and the introduction of Hollywood blockbusters is a foregone conclusion.

In the face of the menacing arrival of Hollywood blockbusters, can domestic films withstand this offensive, who will stand up to snipe Hollywood blockbusters, and who will become the hero of the Chinese film industry.

Major studios are ready to come up with funds to elaborate films and go head-to-head with Hollywood blockbusters.

At this time, filmmakers, although pessimistic, have a rare momentum, even if they may fail in the end, they still have to fight, which is related to the dignity of the film industry.

Lin Zixuan left the symposium and returned to the company to convey the spirit of the meeting.

The theme is how to resist the onslaught of Hollywood blockbusters.

"Brother Feng, the times create heroes, this is a great time for you to become famous. Lin Zixuan encouraged, "I estimate that this year is just testing the waters, and the first Hollywood blockbuster will not be introduced until the second half of the year. ”

In fact, it is not difficult to avoid Hollywood blockbusters, just adjust the schedule, but Lin Zixuan thinks you can try.

This is the first film of Good Dreams, and it has encountered the first battle to maintain the dignity of domestic films, and this kind of opportunity is too rare.

"I'm under a lot of pressure when you say that, and if I give me $10 million, I can make a Hollywood blockbuster. Feng Xiaogang said with a smile, "Since you don't have so much money, you can only work hard elsewhere." ”

"Then let's think about it again, the plot should be close to life, so that the audience can resonate, not too vulgar, with a little feeling, find a few more famous actors to make cameos. Those old artists in Beijing Film Studio are familiar to the audience, let them show their faces, there must be a play. Lin Zixuan proposed, "Let's go out and have an all-star lineup." ”

"Party A and Party B" is a movie full of Beijing flavor, telling the story of little people, with amusement and warmth.

The filming cycle of the film is estimated to be about five months, and it will be released in December, and it will be screened until the Spring Festival.

Lin Zixuan is ready to create the concept of a Chinese New Year film, and the stars celebrate the New Year and spend the festival together.

"This is a good idea, we also have to pay attention to publicity, the old-timers of Beijing Film Studio started by acting in war films, and there is a scene between the underground party and the Japanese in the script, let them play it, this is all memories. Feng Xiaogang calculated.

Feng Xiaogang was a little excited in his heart, this was a good opportunity for him.

If "Party A and Party B" can really be released at the same time as Hollywood blockbusters, he will become famous if he wins, even if he loses, there is nothing to lose, this is only his first movie.

As long as he doesn't lose too badly, he can gain a firm foothold in the film directing industry.

Thinking about the box office results achieved by "The Stubborn Master", Feng Xiaogang is very confident.

At that time, Ge You was not famous, but now Ge You is a household name in China, whether it is investment or actors, he is stronger than at the beginning, and he has no reason to fail.

Thinking of this, his heart was hot and full of energy.

At this time, the major film studios were also making careful preparations, they felt that they were the main force to resist Hollywood blockbusters, and did not pay attention to the newly established private film and television companies.

From 93 to the present, private film and television companies are still mainly engaged in making TV series and producing commercials, and rarely involve movies.

The threshold for making movies is high, and more professional talents are needed, which is not available to ordinary private film and television companies.

Moreover, the domestic film market is sluggish, and the risk of investment is too great, so it is easier to make money by making TV series.

Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang just said this when they chatted privately, a private film and television company wants to snipe Hollywood blockbusters, and people will laugh at it if it spreads.

However, whoever stipulates that little people can't have dreams, and as newcomers in the film industry, they also have the possibility of becoming heroes. (To be continued.) )
