Chapter 208: External troubles are easy to solve, but internal troubles are difficult to settle
Being said by Ge Yalong, Rao is Lin Nan is slightly thicker than ordinary people also feel a little embarrassed, after all, Ge Yalong has indeed helped himself many times, but he basically hasn't come to visit him, on the one hand, because he is really busy and has no time, on the other hand, Lin Nan is psychologically not very willing to have too much contact with Qiyi Film Studio, that is to say, he doesn't want to have anything to do with the country's cultural department.
Now the four giants in the Chinese film and television industry are very clear examples, although they are all barely private enterprises, but they are controlled by the state behind them, and every decision of the company needs to be reviewed by the state before it can be implemented.
If today's Nanshan Film and Television Company is also controlled by the state, then this "Resident Evil", let alone in China, cannot be filmed anywhere, because the state cannot allow film and television companies controlled by itself to shoot this kind of film!
In fact, once the company is controlled by the state, it is not that it is bad, and there will even be some benefits, that is, there is a great opportunity to obtain film and television distribution rights, and there is no need to distribute films through other companies, but the price is to lose decision-making power and freedom.
This is the price that Lin Nan is unwilling to pay, it is for this reason that Lin Nan has always treated government agencies as he can avoid them, if he didn't really have no way this time, he really didn't want to come to Ge Yalong.
Ge Yalong has lived for decades, and he has also worked in this circle for decades, how could he not think of Lin Nan's thoughts, which is also the reason why he has not blamed Lin Nan all along, because he understands. Young and talented people are the most reluctant to be restricted, so he has only been silently helping Lin Nan without having frequent contact with Lin Nan, the reason is that he doesn't want Lin Nan to have too much psychological pressure.
Lin Nan showed a slightly embarrassed smile at Ge Yalong, but he obviously didn't want to discuss too much on this matter, because if the discussion was deep, it would inevitably bring to a topic that neither of them wanted to talk about, so Lin Nan could only choose to change the topic.
"Old Ge, I see that your face is a little pale, you should pay attention to your body!" Lin Nan saw Ge Yalong's slightly pale face, and the trembling body that had just stood up from behind the desk, and he was also a little worried about the old man in his heart.
"Hey. People are old. Here's where the problem comes! Ge Yalong waved his hand, signaling that Lin Nan didn't need to worry about this matter.
Lin Nan still suggested: "In fact, a lot of work can be handed over to other people to do, there is no need to make yourself so busy, it is also a big burden on the body!" ”
"I also want to retire and go home as soon as possible!" Elder Ge sighed. There was a little loss in his eyes: "But I can't rest assured!" ”
Secure!
Lin Nan silently thought about Ge Yalong's words - he couldn't rest assured. Oh, yes. This old man who has dedicated his life to the film and television industry should have reached retirement age as early as possible to retire and live in his old age, but now he is still working as a young man regardless of his body and hard work. The reason for this is that I still can't rest assured.
Lin Nan did not doubt the authenticity of Ge Yalong's words at all, let alone think that people like Ge Yalong would be reluctant to abdicate because of power, the film and television entertainment industry is very turbid, and it is very difficult to maintain one's purity in such a turbid circle, but Ge Yalong did it.
In this circle where scandals will be spread by individuals, Ge Yalong is the only one who has not had any negative news so far.
Self-denial, self-discipline, conscientiousness, and responsibility.
This is almost everyone's evaluation of Ge Yalong, and Ge Yalong has also been respected by almost all insiders, and is respected as Ge Lao, which is a treatment that no one has ever received in the film and television industry, regardless of status, only people's respect for this old man from the heart.
The more people pay for something, the more difficult it is to give up on it, because there are too many efforts and feelings poured into it, which can be easily understood by a simple example.
In China, the love of parents for their children is far greater than the love of children for their parents, and the reason is that parents pay much more to their children than children to their parents.
As the party who pays more and more, it will become more and more difficult to give up; The party who passively obtains it, they may be moved by the other party's contribution and repay the gratitude, but the feelings will never reach the sincerity and persistence of the party who pays.
Huaxia's film and television is like his child to Ge Yalong, a child he grew up watching, and now this child is facing a lot of problems, not only is his body sick, but he also has to face children from other places to seize its survival resources, internal and external troubles are mixed together, how can Ge Yalong rest assured at this time.
After listening to Ge Yalong's words, Lin Nan could only be silent, and after a long time, Lin Nan took a breath: "Internal worries, external troubles; No wonder Ge Lao can't rest assured! ”
"Hey, internal worries are secondary, mainly external troubles make me worried!" Ge Yalong shook his head and said his thoughts to Lin Nan.
But Lin Nan didn't agree with Ge Yalong's statement, he just lowered his head, and then said a sentence from his mouth: "The external troubles are easy to solve, but the internal troubles are difficult to settle!" ”
After hearing Lin Nan's words, Ge Yalong's eyebrows trembled slightly, and then he looked at Lin Nan and asked, "What did you say?" ”
"External troubles are easy to solve, but internal worries are difficult to settle!" Lin Nan's voice raised slightly this time, so that Ge Yalong could clearly hear what he was saying.
Ge Yalong's brows furrowed slightly, although what Lin Nan said was not what he thought, but he was not in a hurry to refute Lin Nan or instill his own thoughts in Lin Nan, but asked Lin Nan, "Why do you say that?" ”
"Ge Lao thinks why can't Chinese movies go abroad?" Lin Nan did not directly answer Ge Yalong's question, but asked Ge Yalong a question.
Ge Yalong frowned and thought carefully and said, "The cultural gap is too big, and Westerners can't understand our culture!" ”
"Then why can Western movies sell well in China, is it really because we are more accepting of foreign culture than Westerners?" Lin Nan continued to ask.
This question made Ge Yalong slightly stunned, indeed, he didn't think that it was really because the Chinese people were more accepting of foreign culture than Westerners, which can actually be seen from the more than 50 ethnic groups in China with very distinct personalities.
Ge Yalong closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "This is the cultural suppression brought about by the strength of the country, and it will be much easier for a weaker country to accept the culture of a strong country, just like our movies are selling well in Southeast Asia, but Southeast Asian movies can hardly enter our market!" ”
"Yes, that's part of the reason!" Lin Nan nodded, recognized the reason that Ge Yalong had just said, and then continued with Ge Yalong's puzzled expression: "But the main reason is not this! ”
"What's that?" Ge Yalong asked.
"It's international!"
"International?"
"Yes, it's international!" Lin Nan explained: "When we shoot movies, whether it is the selection of materials or shooting, we are used to adding strong Chinese elements to them, as if we want to use this to mark the film with a Chinese mark, but it is precisely because of this that we lose the opportunity to enter the world stage!" ”
Seeing that Ge Yalong was still frowning, Lin Nan reminded: "American western cowboy movies have not done very well in the global market!" ”
As soon as Lin Nan said this, Ge Yalong completely understood, and suddenly his heart was stunned, and the more he frowned, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable what Lin Nan said, was it because of this?
"So you mean that as long as we turn around the style and take out the excessive ethnic elements in the film, we can achieve results on the world stage?" Ge Yalong couldn't help asking, he knew that since Lin Nan said this, there must be a solution.
"No!" Lin Nan shook his head: "It's not that simple, many things in this world are first-come, first-served, even if we remove too many Chinese elements in the movie and integrate with international standards, it is difficult to make any achievements in the international market!" ”
Lin Nan said this, which made Ge Yalong completely confused, and couldn't help asking, "Then what do you mean?" ”
"Huaxia's creators and investors need an opportunity!"
"What chance?"
"The rise of a new genre, as long as Chinese films can seize the opportunity, then we can lead the creators of European and American countries, and successfully open the door to the European and American markets!"
Lin Nan's words were loud, but there was no optimistic expression on Ge Yalong's face, the rise of a new type is not easy, let alone grasping the initiative, it is basically impossible.
Ge Yalong's expression did not escape Lin Nan's eyes, and when he saw Ge Yalong like this, Lin Nan couldn't help but say: "Old Ge, now, there is a chance!" ”
"What chance?" As soon as Ge Yalong heard Lin Nan say that there was an opportunity, he instantly shook Lin Nan's hand excitedly and hurriedly asked.
"My new movie "Resident Evil", he can definitely set off a wave of post-apocalyptic zombie movies around the world, I have registered a patent for zombies, anyone who wants to shoot such movies must get my authorization, I can operate in it a little bit, let the creators of Huaxia seize the opportunity!"
Ge Yalong looked at Lin Nan's eyes with a solemn face, as if he wanted to distinguish whether what Lin Nan said was true or false, and Lin Nan's gaze was also looking at Ge Yalong without dodging, and after a long time, Ge Yalong sighed and smiled: "If someone else said this to me, I definitely don't believe it, I don't believe that anyone will be so kind, but you ...... I believe you! (To be continued......)
