The head of the Young Directors Support Fund is Lin Xiaoling, and she decides which film projects to invest in. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This fund does not focus on commerciality, but is biased towards literary films and independent films.

Lin Xiaoling, who was born in a professional class, is a more suitable candidate.

She has received a systematic college education, won awards at foreign film festivals, made blockbuster films, and has rich experience in filming and coaching young directors.

Lin Xiaoling is easier to understand the ideas of young directors, and there are no barriers to communication.

If Lin Zixuan or Yu Dong are put in charge of this plan, the first thing they consider when reading the script may be market factors, whether the book can sell well.

Lin Zixuan pushed Lin Xiaoling out not only because she was suitable, but there were people who were more suitable than her.

For example, Tian Xiangzhi is stronger than Lin Xiaoling in terms of qualifications and connections.

On the one hand, this is a kind of exercise for Lin Xiaoling, and on the other hand, it can enhance her prestige among young directors and improve her status in the entertainment industry.

In the future, those young directors who become famous through this fund will have to thank her, this is the network.

Although 10 million is not much, according to the annual investment of five directors, ten years later, at least 50 directors have received Lin Xiaoling's guidance.

As long as seven or eight directors break into the fame, they can get rich rewards.

"It's a job that offends people, and the people who get the funds will thank me, and those who can't get the funds will definitely hate me, and there are still more people who can't get the funds. Lin Xiaoling calculated.

"You have to know how to refuse, if you can't get the funds, it means that their script is not good, they can't convince you, you let them continue to polish the script, and come back next year. Lin Zixuan reminded, "It's not that you are in charge alone, you can cooperate with the film school." ”

Lin Xiaoling was born in the directing department of the film academy, and the students in the directing department lacked funds to make films.

Now with this money, the teachers of the film school will definitely be willing to cooperate, recommend excellent students, and even take the initiative to participate in the program.

In this society, you can't just go it alone, you also need to rely on various resources.

Lin Zixuan just mentioned that the rest of the work will be done by Lin Xiaoling, she wants to integrate her network, expand the level of communication, and increase her influence in the circle.

Lin Xiaoling invited Zheng Dongtian, a professor of the directing department of the Film Academy, to come forward and reached a cooperation agreement with the Film Academy.

She received support from the film school by giving preference to film school graduates.

Zheng Dongtian attended the press conference and praised this proud disciple.

Zheng Dongtian maintains a good relationship with Good Dreams, and as a well-known film theorist in the circle, he has a unique perspective on the film industry.

Like this debate over Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, he expressed a different opinion.

He thinks that this film is good, mainly within what framework to watch.

If you have to compare it with traditional martial arts films, if you have to meet such a standard, you will be disappointed.

If you use it as a film with Eastern culture as a carrier and a Western consciousness, it will be good.

Zheng Dongtian believes that Li Yu's creative attitude is very serious.

For example, the swordsmanship of the Wudang faction in the film is very authentic, and it is an authentic Wudang swordsmanship, while the Wudang swordsmanship in those Xiangjiang martial arts films is just a random fight.

From this point of view, Li Yu returned martial arts films to the authentic and revised the concept of martial arts films.

The audience's understanding of martial arts films is actually very one-sided, and they often use Xiangjiang martial arts films as a template, those that do not conform to this template are bad, and those that meet this template are good.

This is a question worth pondering.

"I think it's more meaningful to discuss the production process of this film than to discuss whether this film is a commercial film, whether it is made for foreigners, and whether Li Yu has made a martial arts film. Zheng Dongtian posted an article in the newspaper and said, "How did such a big investment come about, is there any possibility of replication, and has the blockbuster era of Chinese films arrived?"

He analyzed the scale of investment in Hollywood films, which is two hundred and fifty films a year.

Conventional films are films with an investment of more than $40 million, and if you add those small-budget films, Hollywood produces between 500 and 700 films a year.

There are about 150 films produced in China every year, and there are almost no films with a budget of more than 10 million US dollars.

If you want to compete with Hollywood blockbusters, you need to have big investment and big productions, and how to get investment in Chinese films is more important than what content you shoot.

Of course, without a good script it won't attract investment.

Zheng Dongtian discussed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" from the perspective of the film industry, and film critics focused more on the film itself.

At the end of the press conference, Lin Zixuan and Zheng Dongtian chatted a few words.

"I heard that you are going to make a martial arts film with an investment of 20 million US dollars?

Domestic filmmakers don't know much about the real situation of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" abroad.

Xiangjiang has made so many martial arts films and has not entered the Western market, is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" really good?

"American film companies are very optimistic about Lee's films, they spent $6 million to buy the rights to the North American screening, and they plan to invest $20 million in global publicity. Lin Zixuan responded.

Hollywood's studios take publicity very seriously.

Whether it's participating in film festivals around the world, or advertising on TV, including the public relations of the Oscars, there is no one who can't get one or two million dollars at all.

They believe that high investment will have high returns, and good movies are promoted.

"Let's take 2 million to train young directors, which is less than 300,000 US dollars, which is really incomparable. Zheng Dongtian said with emotion, "You have created a way for domestic film companies, don't care who the movie is made for, let's start this market first." ”

It's the truth.

Only when the market grows bigger, can it attract more investors and accommodate all kinds of films.

One month after its release, the total box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" reached 33 million, and it is difficult to exceed 40 million.

This is related to the appearance of pirated discs in the later period, as well as various controversies, and the film's reputation in China is not good.

On Time Online, the rating of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is 6.5, which shows that young audiences do not agree with this movie.

In the survey of Good Dreams, intellectuals preferred "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" because they felt that they could feel the traditional culture from it, and film theorists thought that the film was worth learning from and thinking about.

Martial arts film lovers and some film critics are the main force of criticism, focusing on the two aspects of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that are not original and Westernized.

Young audiences enter the cinema to watch the fights and kills, and they want to be refreshed.

They feel that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is too inkblot to understand.

This survey will be helpful for the production of "Hero", although "Hero" is also a martial arts film for overseas markets, but it also needs to take into account the feelings of domestic audiences.
