797. Teaching (End)

PS: Thank you for the precious monthly tickets voted by the three students who are waiting for you to eat eggs, Ranranshi, and HERO-YOU!!

Under the attention of the students, Ye Sumang pulled out the last note.

Seeing the above question, Ye Sumang suddenly smiled, and then asked, "Which one is classmate Bai Xue, can you stand up for a while?" ”

With Ye Sumang's words, the eyes of everyone in the audience also began to scan around, and then they saw a pure and lovely-looking girl stand up, staring at Ye Sumang with her eyes, and there was a sense of surprise and excitement in it.

"And the pretty girl asks the same beautiful questions." Ye Sumang nodded with a smile and motioned for Bai Xue to sit down.

was praised by Ye Sumang like this, a layer of blush appeared on the girl's face with excitement, she really didn't expect that she would be praised by Ye Sumang for a question, and she was even a little distracted when she was excited, if it weren't for the classmates around her who pulled her, it is estimated that she would be standing stupidly this time.

"I believe everyone is very curious about what questions Bai Xue raised, so let me sell a pass here, let me give you a question first, where do you think the gap between Chinese films and Hollywood films is?" After watching Bai Xue sit down, Ye Sumang did not directly say what the problem was, but instead raised another question.

Hearing this question, not only the students, but also the teachers in the front row also looked thoughtful, as for the students who were also considering, if they were usually placed in normal times, they might directly say a lot of questions, but in the face of Ye Sumang, if they want to leave a deep impression on Ye Sumang, they can't help but think about it seriously.

After more than ten seconds, a male classmate took the lead in raising his hand, and then stood up with the encouragement of Ye Sumang's eyes.

"I think the main gap is in investment. A good film will undoubtedly need a lot of money to keep improving, and most of the domestic films limit the investment cost, and the role of the producer is not like thinking about the movie, but more like a big housekeeper who can save money, and these saved things are the gap between us and foreign films. ”

"That's a good point. Have a seat. Ye Sumang nodded with a smile, asked the male classmate to sit down, and then ordered a female classmate on the side.

"Mr. Ye, I think in addition to the input, the treatment of the actors is also a little bit." The female classmate stood up and replied: "Maybe in the eyes of the outside world, actors are high-income people, but in our industry, we know that there is still a huge gap between our income and Europe and the United States, and the salary that our top stars can get is only the salary of an ordinary star in Europe and the United States, and the gap undoubtedly brings a sense of gap to our hearts." ”

"It's really good, our company's Zhou Wei should be the contemporary artist with the highest salary in China at present. Her salary is about 5 million US dollars, but compared with Hollywood's top actresses who often pay tens of millions of dollars, the gap cannot be changed, which is also the reason why domestic stars always want to go abroad to develop, and the remuneration obviously plays a big role in it, are you wrong, is there anything to add? Ye Sumang agreed with this girl's words very much, and personally gave an example to supplement. After letting the girl sit down, Ye Sumang continued to ask questions.

Later, a few more students answered. Some mentioned the big environmental impact, and some talked about the entertainment atmosphere, etc., Ye Sumang nodded a little.

"Okay, after listening to it for a long time, it seems that everyone has a certain understanding of the gap between domestic films and European and American films, so I will also announce the question from Bai Xue just now. In fact, you have all answered her question just now, and Bai Xue's question is how can Chinese movies catch up with Hollywood movies. ”

Hearing that Ye Sumang finally said the question, in addition to the questioner himself, everyone present also suddenly realized, no wonder Ye Sumang wanted to ask that question just now. Obviously, they are preparing to answer this question, but after suddenly realizing it, many people are looking forward to Ye Sumang's answer, after all, what they are talking about is only what everyone can see on the surface, and Ye Sumang's answer should obviously be more in-depth.

Ye Sumang naturally won't let them down, the reason for those people's answers just now is external factors, so Ye Sumang will talk about this problem to this group of students from internal factors.

"Speaking of gaps, in fact, it is better to say that they have their own strengths, in fact, Chinese films themselves also have their own strengths, such as the dialogue of the plot, or the acting skills of the actors, etc., in fact, the domestic is not bad, many people think that the most fundamental reason why domestic films cannot enter the international market is investment, I think this point is still too one-sided, in fact, the domestic film itself still does not adhere to the so-called general trend in terms of development."

As he spoke, Ye Sumang wrote the word 'general trend' on the screen in front of him.

"What is the biggest criticism of domestic films in the eyes of foreign media, I have also said this, that is, excessive use of dialogue to explain the plot, a kind of procrastination of the plot itinerary, and a movie also needs at least 90 minutes of plot, so too much procrastination of the plot will affect the rhythm of the whole film, and it will also consume the audience's patience at the same time."

While Ye Sumang said this, the students below were also taking notes at this moment, and even some teachers began to frown and think deeply, as the saying goes, the light is black under the light, and the brightest place is actually the darkest place, domestic filmmakers have always been proud of their ability to write in-depth lines, but sometimes this is often the wrong way.

The long explanation may be acceptable to the domestic audience, but for foreign audiences, this is undoubtedly a waste of time, the audience is not stupid, and they are more willing to use their own brains to think about watching movies.

And this involves another problem, which is also the words that Ye Sumang has written now, 'nanny-style film'.

"Many directors are now making the same kind of mistake, that is, worrying too much, always afraid that the audience can't understand here and there, and as a result, they add unnecessary lines and plots to the film, the purpose of this is also to consider the audience and their own reputation, but this practice just confirms the word I wrote, in fact, the audience is not stupid, they have their own judgment, and in the final analysis, the film should not pay too much attention to the lines, this thing is not expensive, and focus more on the plot, Let the plot tell the audience's judgment, this is what a real movie should do! ”

"Other than that, it's the subject matter!" Ye Sumang said and wrote down the word 'theme' again.

"Maybe many people think in their hearts that only those with Chinese characteristics are movies that belong to China, and I don't agree with this statement." Ye Sumang's words caused a lot of commotion at the scene, and a teacher sitting in the front row raised his hand and asked.

"So what is a Chinese movie? Is there no theme of Chinese elements? I don't agree with Mr. Ye's words. ”

Obviously, this teacher is a staunch supporter of this argument, and Ye Sumang just smiled at the other party's provocation, and he naturally had his own understanding when he said this.

"What is culture, what is the mainstream, culture that is not limited to the international is the mainstream, if some people always want to use those remote cultures exclusive to China to make a fuss, I'm sorry, I don't think there will be any way out for you in the next movie." Ye Sumang said unceremoniously, this sentence made the teacher's face flush, and there was a heated discussion below.

Ye Sumang pressed his hand, calmed down the scene and continued: "In fact, it is not only a problem in China, but also in Europe and the United States, it is difficult for those non-mainstream films to become the main force, which is also why the Cannes Film Festival is called the most artistic and influential film festival, but most of its attention is limited to the circle, and the general public does not care too much about it, on the contrary, the Oscars can attract the attention of global fans." ”

"Because the Cannes Film Festival serves that small group of people, those who are determined to pursue art films, many of which are incomprehensible to the audience, but at the same time, the Oscars are doing something different, artistic films that also have commercial influence, and that is the key to its success."

"I'm sure everyone knows that one of the actors I've worked with is named Cusack." Ye Sumang said and suddenly asked.

"Zhilu Dao !!" The scene replied in unison, the story between Ye Su Mang and Cusack is simply a modern version of 'Bole and Maxima', which is also something that the general public will talk about, as a member of the film academy, they are naturally clear, and many people even know that there is more than one version of the story of Lu Dao.

"Then do you know that Cusack was famous for making art films before, his acting skills are great, and his appearance is not bad, but why has he never been famous? In the final analysis, this is the limitation, in fact, there are cases in China and the United States, but the emphasis is different. ”

Ye Sumang smiled when he said this, and also made a summary of this problem: "Those who make art films are not necessarily film masters, and those who make commercial films are not necessarily full of copper smell, I am a Chinese film in the future to pursue the footsteps of Europe and the United States, first of all, we must take commercial films as the main force, supplemented by art films to cultural infiltration, so that complementarity is the key, rather than always counting on art films to win awards and fight for fame, to be honest, trophies are not important to the audience, They are most concerned about the viewing and quality of the movie itself! ”

"Okay, that's the end of today's topic, I hope we meet next time." Ye Sumang said with a smile.

But after saying this, there was no sound or applause on the scene, everyone's face was either shocked or reminiscent or thoughtful, and even the teacher who was aggressive at the beginning was sluggish, as if the afterglow of Ye Sumang's words just now had not been digested...

Ye Sumang didn't care much about this, and after putting the microphone away, he was about to return to the backstage lounge, and about five or six seconds later, just as he was about to walk off the podium, a burst of applause that could almost knock over the roof of the shed rang out!!

And early the next morning, Ye Sumang's words immediately made the headlines of major entertainment newspapers. (To be continued......)
