Chapter 240: Salute
At the tribute, the reporter was most concerned about how many years ahead of China in the 3D technology of "Avatar". [
Regarding this, Bai Yuhan explained: "I contacted Cameron because they have spent a lot of money to develop the latest 3D technology, and I have always been concerned. Cameron's 3D technology is a set of software and equipment systems, Cameron's "Avatar" can only be regarded as passable in terms of plot, but 3D technology makes you want to experience it. ”
"As for how many years others are ahead of us, it makes no sense, because when Cameron and they do 3D technology, they must sell this technology, and now there is no shortage of money for Chinese film and television investment, as long as you have money, 3D or IMAX, you can spend money to buy it."
"Because it is now in the context of film globalization, technology is to provide a processing process for films, and any film technology must face industrialization. You see a lot of Hollywood cartoons now, the technology is very strong, but the technology of many cartoons is processed in China, do we have this technology, yes, of course. ”
"It's just that it costs money to do technology, the domestic market capacity is limited, and the box office of a movie will end in tens of millions, and you can't spend a lot of money to pursue technical effects. Moreover, it is difficult for domestic films to go abroad, the box office is limited, the return is limited, and the cost has to be conservative. ”
"Personally, I've always felt that what we need to review is not technology, it's creativity. Now the first thing domestic directors should consider is not to pursue this 3D or IMAX, but to tell the story well. In the past, the audience's requirements were very low, and you could just shoot something called a blockbuster. Someone buys a ticket. ”
"Not anymore, more and more Chinese and foreign excellent films are being trained, and everyone's requirements for movies have increased. So the mentality of the filmmaker is the most important. You can't keep thinking about it, you can't trick the audience into the cinema, you can't rely on some cleverness to make money, you have to show sincerity and creativity. ”
"I watched the news the day before yesterday, an expert from a beautiful film studio, named Li Xuejun. Speaking of the effect of "Avatar", they can make it for 60 million. Even better than the stereoscopic effect of "Avatar". Then CCTV's Cui Yongyuan said again, after watching "Avatar", I feel that our movie is 100 years behind "Avatar". ”
You're welcome. These two kinds of people are not beneficial to Chinese films. One is that bragging is too big than bragging, and the other is inferiority to the extreme. We have to admit that our film industry. Not as developed as Hollywood. There are too few good films. But we must also see that there has been a big fault line in Chinese films, and we have only been commercialized for a few years, and we are still in the toddler stage. ”
"Many of today's domestic filmmakers are aiming at foreign films and Hollywood movies to learn from and learn. Even me, I often study Hollywood films. There are those who learn well, and there are those who learn poorly. In the past, we used to shoot the main theme. They are all tall and bright, everyone wants to vomit when they see it, now there is "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", there is "The Wind", and many audiences are willing to go into the theater to watch it, this is progress. ”
"You can't expect that within ten years, domestic films will surpass Hollywood and dominate the world. China has been weak for a hundred years, and its cultural output is insufficient, and now the whole world is the mainstream values of the United States, including ourselves, we have become accustomed to this kind of values and this kind of taste. ”
"I've seen a lot of netizens comment on domestic films, and some of them just said that they don't watch domestic films at all, or that those who watch domestic films are all heavy tastes. There is a reason why we filmmakers ourselves are not angry, and why not because the audience is influenced by this mainstream value. In the past, we admired benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, now we worship money, we used to be poor, and now we laugh at poverty and prostitution. ”
"So now when I see "Avatar", I think, if we want to make "Avatar", there are at least two prerequisites, on the one hand, we have to fight against the mainstream values exported by Hollywood, and on the other hand, we have to correct our attitude. What scares me the most now is that people simply equate movies with marketing, that is, cheating money. ”
"3D technology has come out, and it is foreseeable that it will not be long before there will be a lot of 3D films that follow the trend. Whether it is a real 3D shooting or a converted 3D, everyone uses 3D as a slogan and rushes to grab this market. On the contrary, it ignores that what domestic films need is not a 3D, but a creativity, a story, and a well-told story. ”
At the tribute ceremony, there were no constraints, everyone spoke freely, and Bai Yuhan no longer suppressed himself, he praised me and I praised you with a smile, but summarized his views on the current situation of domestic films.
The reporters in the audience nodded their heads while listening to Bai Yuhan's words.
Sitting next to Bai Yuhan, Huang Jianxin, creative director of China Film Group and director of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", also nodded: "What Bai Yuhan said is very reasonable, you must have an attitude before making a movie, being smart is not long-lasting, and now the general direction of China is also like this, and the audience's taste is increasing year by year." ”
"Then may I ask Director Bai, you said that you pay attention to 3D technology, do you have any plans to shoot 3D movies?" A reporter asked.
Bai Yuhan shook his head: "There should be no plan for the next two years, and the next few movies I will make, I don't think there is any point in making 3D." 3D must be in line with commercial blockbusters, movies with exciting fight plots, and other movies don't need to use 3D as a gimmick at all. ”
"The director of the new version of Batman, Christopher. Nolan, said in an interview that he can't shoot 3D, he is against 3D, Bai Dao, are you also against 3D? ”
"I'm not against 3D, although I'm not a big fan of watching movies with glasses, 3D movies have their own unique charm. When we say watching movies, if we are willing to go to the cinema to watch movies, what we must pursue is enjoyment, and visual enjoyment is also a kind of enjoyment. In a movie like "Avatar", you don't watch 3D, and you watch 3D, it's completely two different feelings. ”
After all, the reporter's questions were not mainstream, and after answering a few questions, everyone on the rostrum chatted again.
Wang Jing suddenly said: "Yuan Heping's "Su Qier" also has a 20-minute 3D clip, which is to be called the first 3D martial arts movie in China. What do you guys think? ”
3D is not the first of its kind in Avatar, and many movies have tried 3D footage. Avatar is simply the largest and most technologically advanced 3D movie. What really made China start to promote the construction of 3D screens was the 3D "Adventure in the Center of the Earth" in 2008, which produced a box office of 67 million on 86 3D screens in China, stimulating the bosses of major theaters.
By the time "Avatar" was released. There are almost 600 3D screens in China.
The 3D of "Su Qier" almost began to prepare after seeing the 3D "Adventure in the Center of the Earth". At this time, the 3D technology is still a digital conversion, the brightness is very low, the quality is very poor, and it cannot be compared with "Avatar". And the constraints and funding are often just a small 3D fragment.
"It's okay to give it a try." Huang Jianxin said it very simply.
Bai Yuhan has watched this "Su Qier" that has not yet been released, and can only say that the 3D martial arts are still good. But the story really sucks.
So, he continued: "I hope the 3D effect can bring a new taste to martial arts." ”
……
The salute passed in a moment, and at this time, "Avatar" continued to be a sensation in China, and Bai Yuhan's high-minded remarks. It was soon drowned in all sorts of news about Avatar.
Supervise the production of "Du Lala's Promotion". Prepare for "Hypnosis Master", take a look at the company's various year-end summary reports, and time will pass.
This year's New Year is relatively late, February 13 is Chinese New Year's Eve, and February 14 is the Spring Festival.
Now there is more than half a month left before the Chinese New Year.
Bai Yuhan, who is busy, is ready to start "Hypnosis Master" for the New Year, so he is not ready to spend the Spring Festival this year. For a big carrot like him. It's Spring Festival again, and it's love again. People's Day. The most annoying.
But what caught him off guard was a piece of news that was no less than a bolt from the blue.
This day was January 22, 2010, Laba Festival, he went to the magic capital to attend a lecture held by Shangju, and when he hugged Li Jinming at night.
Li Jinming smiled and told him: "Xiaobai, you are going to be a father." ”
"What?"
"I'm pregnant."
At that moment, Bai Yuhan opened his mouth and closed it for a long time. His heart was beating non-stop, his mind was all blank, maybe it was ten minutes, maybe a century, and he said with difficulty: "Really? ”
"It's more true than pearls, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and I'm a month and a half pregnant." When Li Jinming spoke, his face was happy.
"A month and a half." Bai Yuhan repeated unconsciously, feeling sweat on his forehead, "Why didn't you tell me earlier." ”
"I wanted to tell you last month, but I'm afraid that the test will be wrong, and I want to tell you when it's stable." Li Jinming said as he reached out and stroked his belly, although she was still ordinary, she was very gentle, and there was a little life in it.
"Hehe, hehe......" Bai Yuhan didn't know what to say, so he could only laugh dryly.
Li Jinming glanced at him: "Look at you, are you scared stupid, or are you stupid?" ”
"Both." Bai Yuhan wiped his sweat.
His mood is very complicated, and he has made some mental preparations for the life in Li Jinming's belly. Li Jinming said in the past that if they want to have a child, when they do it, they occasionally don't wear condoms. However, for this little life that suddenly broke in, Bai Yuhan instinctively felt a little afraid.
He is only twenty-six this year, and he never thought that he would become a father of a child.
I didn't even think about getting married.
Once a child is born, there are too many things involved......
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided."
Late at night.
There was air conditioning in the house which was warm.
With a faint astigmatism, Bai Yuhan looked at Li Jinming's small belly covered with a quilt, stunned. He suddenly wanted to reach out and touch it, and feel how the little life connected to his blood beats. But this is in vain, the child in Li Jinming's belly is too small, I don't know if there is the size of a soybean grain.
Turning over, Bai Yuhan opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling.
I suddenly remembered the short drama I had filmed before, "All in all".
White swordsman and cannon. Friend Suna, Suna told the White Swordsman that she was pregnant, and the White Swordsman was also like this, trying to feel the little life in Suna's belly. At that time, Bai Yuhan just tried to plagiarize the original version of "All in All", but he didn't really understand the connotation of this plot.
Now, he seemed to understand something.
……
Bai Yuhan thought again that "All in All" was filmed for a total of three seasons, although most of the stories were localized. But the ending still maintains the flavor of the original, and the white swordsman ended up with the heroine and the cannon. Friends together. He walks through the parks he doesn't frequent, and everyone in the park has their own story.
Just like "All in All" is about the story of the White Swordsman, in fact, everyone is an ordinary collection of stories.
In the end, Bai Yuhan breathed a long sigh of relief: "So, I'm going to be a father?" (To be continued......)
