Chapter 67: Joy to Hear
I saw that Chen Tiandu restrained his expression and said lightly melancholy: "I can't give a standard answer to this question, because this is exactly the question that I need to discuss with everyone here." I'm going to talk about the difference between the homework done during the preparation of domestic films and Hollywood films. ”
"As we all know, when big Hollywood companies make movies, they have formed a routine model. Their film model remains the same, and they can all keep filling old bottles with new wine and making new movies like mechanized production in factories. Why do they dare to do this, aren't they afraid that the audience will get bored? The answer is that they are well prepared. ”
"Before a movie starts shooting, it has to go through many risk calculations, strictly control the cost, and strive for perfection to prepare all the details. They'll do market research questionnaires about how many viewers will be interested in the genre. They respect the screenwriter and the script, and a script does go through several revisions before filming begins, but once it's finalized, no one will ever change it again. In China, this point is often the director's final say, and he can change it if he wants to, and do whatever he wants. Before you start filming, you won't be surveyed how many people are willing to read your story. ”
"They're constantly pursuing mature filming techniques and new technologies! In recent years, more and more filmmakers have realized the innovation and importance brought by new technologies to films, and have designed battlefields and simulated space wars with tens of thousands of people on a scale of 100 people. "Titanic" can also take five years to carefully build a big ship to complete the shooting. Hollywood has dominated the world, but they are still pursuing technology updates, but our technology is still in the ignorance period, so after working in the United States for a year, the first time I made money was to buy a special effects company. ”
"This is a complete film industry system with software and hardware, and they also have a set of perfect, scientific and rigorous working models for filmmaking, which often involves several professional companies to serve a film, and finally minimizes the risk, which is the key to ensuring the longevity of their films."
Speaking of which, many people have already begun to sigh. Xu Xiang, Chang Li and several other teachers were also embarrassed.
Hollywood's success is no accident, Hollywood has now spread all over the world, but they have really prepared for the film beyond the reach of other countries.
"Finally, we need a mature and cutthroat market."
Before you know it, it's been so long, and everyone is still unsatisfied, but it's time to end.
Chen Tiandu sighed slightly, his voice began to slow down, and said: "Let's take Hong Kong, which is across the water, as an example, we are all a group of people who grew up watching Hong Kong movies, and we all have special feelings for Hong Kong movies. ”
"Hey, I actually mentioned Hong Kong movies." Reporters from the two Hong Kong newspapers immediately focused on what he had to say.
"And the 'Oriental Hollywood' films, which we are proud of, have gradually erupted from some problems left over from the golden age of the 80s, and with some regional factors, they have gradually declined. But even so, they still have hundreds of movies put into the market every year for the audience to choose from, and the movies that are sought after by the audience can get a month or even more than two months of screening time, and win tens of millions of box office, while the losers need to accept the audience's scolding and criticism, often millions of investments can only get a few days or even a month of release time, and even the cost cannot be recovered! ”
"Hong Kong's cinema resources are also controlled by private individuals and companies, who are free to choose which films to be released. And the cinema chain in the mainland is under the control of the state, so our movie release needs to obey the distribution of the state. Comrade Xiao Ping once mentioned that reform should be constantly tried and learned, and I happened to hear that the leaders of the Film Bureau have been discussing the reform of cinema resources, which is really a gratifying thing. I believe that this time will not be too late, once the theatrical reform is reached, our films will not have to wait for that long approval time, and will be released directly to meet the audience. ”
He slapped a small sycophant of the Radio and Television Bureau, which also made several guests "happy".
"The quality of the movie should be left to the audience to test. A film that is detached from the audience will not go far. Thank you, my speech is over, I wish you all to lead Chinese films to glory in the future! ”
After Chen Tiandu ended his speech with a word of blessing, the applause soon rang out in the auditorium, like thunder, and when you saw that you were eager to slap your hands, you knew how successful Chen Tiandu's speech was.
In the final analysis, although he didn't dare to expose all the shortcomings of domestic films, after all, there is an artifact that can see the development process of future films in advance, which is an experience that the film and television industry in later generations has summed up only after not knowing how many detours and twists and turns.
For today's people, it is not only novel but also highly feasible!
Looking at the admiration, appreciation, and sudden realization below, Chen Tiandu suddenly felt that what he had done was not in vain. Although he doesn't have the pride to turn the tide, he will do some things that need to be done.
What role this speech will play, whether it can inspire others or be depressed, Chen Tiandu will no longer care.
The Badaling Great Wall, the weather in December, is already very cold.
It's a rare sunny morning, and not many tourists come to the Great Wall to buy tickets and visit as usual, but the best section of the Great Wall today is actually blocked from letting people play.
The tour guide in charge of leading the team couldn't help but shake his head secretly, he walked to the edge of the city wall and looked at the blocked area, and suddenly said in surprise: "Oh my God, it's so lively over there, is it a movie?" The tourists were immediately attracted, and they all leaned over to look, "What kind of movie is being made, actually letting the Great Wall close the scenic spot in such good weather, who is so powerful, is it a Hong Kong movie." ”
"There won't be Chenlong." Someone shouted, and tourists became more interested.
"Don't crowd here, it's a Hollywood movie shot by a Chinese director, 'The Matrix'. There is no Chenlong. It won't be open for a day today, so let's go to the other end. "The Administrator is wearing a red armband and starting to chase people.
There are people who have watched TV and know the situation, "It's Chen Tiandu, the young man who made hundreds of millions of box office movies." The tourists expressed their disappointment, but the administrator was happy and took advantage of the convenience to sneak over to watch how others were filming.
The footage shot in several scenes in China is mainly Lawrence and Chen Tiandu's martial arts professors.
While Chen Tiandu settled on the elements of Eastern martial arts that appeared in Western action movies, the actor was destined to face extremely painful training. Lawrence had been training more than a month in advance, but when it came time to actually shoot, he was still a little overwhelmed.
Even Chen Tiandu himself has repeatedly made mistakes.
The time he spent practicing with Lawrence was very short, and if he didn't have some kung fu foundation, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to shoot that effect at all.
Bajiquan Grandmaster Wang Shiquan is a middle-aged man with a height of about 1.6 meters, and his kung fu is extremely good. When he heard that the drama he filmed was going to be shown to the world, he became even more serious, "Wen has Taiji to calm the world, and Wu has eight extremes to set the world!" Bajiquan combines movement and static, stretches and generosity, coordinates beautifully, and has both god and shape, you can find me as the right person. Look at the trick just now, you can't be like a hemp rod when you are tall, and the force must start from the heels, walk around the waist, and run through the fingertips, so the explosive force is very great. The movements are a little smoother, look at me, snap, knock back, it's as simple as that. Don't look at the simple and unpretentious movements of Bajiquan, in fact, they are brave and strong, and they are crazy, and there is a saying in the boxing book that 'shaking your arms and hitting the sky, and stomping your feet to shake Kyushu'. Here, you practice again. ”
He doesn't just talk about it, he does what he says.
Bang bang, knock you down and tell you to redo it again. For Lawrence and Chen Tiandu, there are really words of suffering. Lawrence, a black man, also saw for the first time what real Chinese kung fu is like. Who would have thought in advance that this short man, who was not good-looking, would actually put him down in three or two strokes, and he would be a little more serious because of this!
