Chapter 65: Words Have Something

"I'm happy and excited. At the same time, I am very grateful to the school for holding my graduation ceremony, and I am very grateful to all teachers, classmates, relatives and friends from the media for coming to witness this most important moment in my life's journey. ”

"The Central Academy of Drama, my alma mater. It is the first drama education institution in New China, the highest institution of theatre art education in China, the headquarters of the China Higher Theatre Education Alliance and the Asian Theatre Education and Research Center, and the activity base of the International Student Drama Festival of the World Federation of Theatre Schools. It holds the UNESCO Chair in Theatre Education and is a world-renowned art school. I am proud to study here, graduate, and go out into the ...... society"

There was a round of applause at the bottom of the "pop papa", and the teachers, principals and students were in a good atmosphere.

"Not only can students with movie dreams learn all kinds of things they want, but more importantly, there are many opportunities to watch movies from all over the world for free. A movie lasts an hour or two, and every time it's time to show a movie, my reaction is 'Wow, free time, carnival moment.'" ’”

"Poof," he thanked him in a serious way just now, but the cold Chen Tiandu suddenly made a grimace and leaked such a joke, which almost didn't make everyone laugh.

Some of the reporters who could not understand Chinese looked at each other as if the speech was interesting.

"Looking back on my four years of study, I think I would like to say a lot of 'thank you' in today's speech. Not only because this school has given me such a great honor, but also because I have been patient for several days, I am nervous because I have to give a speech in front of everyone today, and for this reason, my mother has been forced to eat a lot of stew in the past few days, and the weight gained has also been reduced, which is really a win-win. ”

"Poof, hahahaha"

The strange and funny tone of the speech, exaggerated body movements and facial expressions suddenly made the students unable to hold back anymore and all laughed. Kate didn't understand what Chen Tian was talking about, but the atmosphere was very good.

"Now all I have to do is take a deep breath, glance at the red banner, and be sure that I am now in the most enthusiastic, loyal, professional and lively fan gathering in China."

described the students as movie fans, and there was a laugh underneath.

"The graduation ceremony is a great task, so I think about attending the graduation ceremonies of the seniors in the past few years, and the graduation speeches of the seniors and the speeches of the guests, which helped me a lot when I drafted today's graduation speech. Because...... It turned out ......," he coughed dryly, pausing deliberately to arouse everyone's interest, "I can't even remember a word of what they said in their speeches." ”

"Hahaha."

The laughter at the bottom started again, and they finally knew that today's graduation ceremony was not a strict sΓΉ-type but a humorous one, and it was right to laugh openly. The atmosphere in the auditorium became more and more lively, and there was no Yan sΓΉ just now, and even the principal's face was a little strange, "There are so many reporters present, don't mess up." ”

Chen Tiandu continued to speak with a smile, and his tone began to change to a low tone, very joyful, and said: "This revolutionary present allows me to start this speech without fear. Dear students, forgive me for being out of school for less than two years, and my speech today may inadvertently affect your life, giving up the great ambition of being a producer elite and a film buying tycoon and choosing to become a pure filmmaker. If you remember my speech today, it means that I have done a better job than the seniors of previous years. ”

The audience applauded again, and I don't know which active guy actually blew a loud whistle.

"What can be achieved is the first step to self-improvement."

He raised an index finger high, and his expression returned to seriousness, "Actually, I racked my brains to tell you something today, and the principal said that let me analyze the market experience I learned outside with you, and I feel that Yali Mountain is big." ”

"Maybe I'm talking a little heavy about it, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not. Fortunately, I am still young, and I hope that adults from all walks of life will teach me in time if I say the wrong thing. Chen Tiandu paused, and the following teachers gave him encouraging looks, and even Zhang Yimou, who had just come in, held his arms and listened with interest.

"I wonder if the film industry in our country is now at a critical juncture. In the last five years, our moviegoers have plummeted a hundredfold. From the era when the ticket price of a movie for 2 yuan could sell hundreds of millions of box office, it was like falling into the abyss all of a sudden, and now I scoff when it comes to domestic movies. As a filmmaker, I feel bad. ”

"It has been several years since China implemented reform and opening up, but we have made some mistakes and neglected to use a critical spirit and vision to learn some advanced characteristics of Western and capitalist societies, which can be better integrated into our socialist construction and the experience of serving the people and making the country rich and strong!"

Many people at the bottom stared at him in surprise, including the leaders of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, Chen Tiandu's words were very standard, it seems that this young man has really learned a lot outside.

"I am soft-spoken and shallow, and I am undoubtedly a class leader in theoretical knowledge, so it is better to tell you about the numbers. Take my movie "The Sixth Sense" as an example. I shot a movie in Hollywood called 'The Sixth Sense', many of my classmates have seen the movie these days, this is a movie that uses the model of horror movies to talk about social relations and human loneliness, the investment cost of the whole movie is 30 million US dollars, I was lucky that the first film convinced DreamWorks to invest so much in me. Among them, Mr. Spielberg, the director who worked with me when I was working on the crew of "Saving Private Ryan", gave me a lot of help and support, thank you. ”

He said this again in English, and Spielberg understood. There was a smile on his face, and there was a round of applause from below.

Chen Tian didn't wait for the applause to stop, and continued: "If you count the salaries of the actors and employees and the actual shooting cost of the movie, it is actually less than 10 million US dollars. The reason why I asked for an investment budget of $30 million was because I had a conversation with DreamWorks, and 20 million of them were planned by me. It's incredible that a movie costs twice as much to promote as much as it invests. ”

Today's ratio of RMB to US dollar to huΓ n is 8.27:1,3ooo US dollars is equivalent to 24,810 million yuan, and the publicity expenditure alone accounts for 165 million, which is not only incredible, it is simply incredible!

There was an exclamation from under the auditorium, and many people were already whispering.

"In fact, it is not inconceivable to spend 20 million dollars on a 10 million dollar movie in Hollywood, which values film promotion. Because they know the need for propaganda. You've worked so hard to make a movie, and if no one knows, what money do you make?! Luckily, I succeeded, and when "The Sixth Sense" was released, it achieved an unexpectedly good reputation, and people were scared by my movie, and when they came home, they felt incredible and told their friends that they wanted to be scared too. This is the word-of-mouth effect, just like the release of "Titanic" in China at the beginning of the year. ”

And the box office of "The Sixth Sense" has also risen again and again, and the North American box office has exceeded 300 million so far, successfully beating "Saving Private Ryan" to become the annual box office champion in the United States, and the global box office has also reached 660 million US dollars, equivalent to 5.4 billion yuan, before it was released in China. In addition to "Titanic", this movie has the highest box office this year. The money earned by a movie is equivalent to the total box office of all national films in the past three years! ”

There was already silence below, and this number suppressed many people. In the past, there were some hearsay, and I seemed to know this number, but at this moment, Chen Tiandu personally admitted it, which is still very shocking. No matter what mentality, jealousy or envy, worship him, anyway, others will make it.

(Speeches are really hard to write, and the old donkey tries to write as much as possible, because he is worried that some lazy guy will directly copy it and get his graduation speech...... Ahem, it's a little narcissistic. It seems that the new week is here again, and I sincerely ask for a recommendation ticket, thank you! οΌ‰
