Chapter 715 - Establishment of Hong Kong Island University of Film and Television (continued)
Chapter 715 Founding of Hong Kong Island Film and Television University continued
Run Run Shaw was the earliest filmmaker to do, and when he heard this, he stood up and said: "First of all, the division of this subject, we all know that all kinds of prerequisites for a successful film are very harsh, in addition to the most important actors and directors and screenwriters, photography, recording, art makeup, scene notes, lighting, drama, set designer, producer, sound effects and other more than ten or twenty positions, and to integrate them, we can learn from the American Film Academy, and divide them into directing department, acting department, photography department, There are 7 large-scale majors, including the Department of Recording, the Department of Fine Arts, the Department of Literature, and the Department of Management.
"Lao Shao, you still haven't said it" Lin Yu said: "Everyone has watched "Star Wars"? Also watched Jaws? So let's talk about it, how is this kind of movie made? ”
"Special effects," Johnny To said, "It's like a racing shootout, it's all handled by the special effects company."
"That's right, that's right" Lin Yu stroked his palm and smiled: "So we also want to set up a professional film special effects major, and at the same time, this special effects major is generally very closely related to animation, therefore, we also have to add a big subject, that is, special effects and animation majors, what do you think?" ”
"There's nothing about the plus major, but where did you invite this teacher?" Lao Huang asked a question that everyone was embarrassed about
"Don't I have the most prestigious movie special effects company in Hollywood?" Lin Yu said with a smile: "Industrial Light & Magic, I can invite some senior special effects masters to teach them, and at the same time, we can also make friends with the Beijing Film Academy, the National Film School of the United States, the London Film School in the United Kingdom, etc., and specially hire some master filmmakers with rich teaching experience, theoretical knowledge and practical experience to teach classes."
"Will they sell face?" Run Run Shaw said with some concern: "We are a fledgling college, will those famous people pull down their faces and run over?" ”
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, I'll arrange it" Lin Yu said with a smile: "In this way, the total construction fund of the school is 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, I will pay 500 million, there is no problem with the sixth uncle 50 million Hong Kong dollars, Uncle Zou 50 million, Lao Huang and Lao Du, you all pay some money, everyone is participating in some shares, I will tell Huo Lao and others when I go back, let them also participate in this is good for the development of the school"
"The school wants to make it bigger, and the approval of the listing and land will be handed over to Lao Shao, and the first principal will also be held by the sixth uncle, so I am only responsible for investment, so it should be no problem?"
"I'm the principal?" The sixth uncle laughed, then nodded and said, "I really care about my reputation, but I don't have the position of the principal of the principal, I can still give me an honorary principal."
"You don't deserve? So who can be? Lin Yu said affirmatively: "Don't say anything else, just say that your previous TVB artist training class, think about how many excellent filmmakers you have cultivated?" If you're not right, I'm afraid the whole Hong Kong Island won't be able to find a suitable one."
"You should be" Run Run Run Shaw said, "You are an investor, and you can write a screenwriter, these add up to the most suitable for you to be the principal, don't object to it first" Run Run Run Shaw stopped Lin Yu's distinction and said with a smile: "As for me, I will not shirk the errand as long as you invest, then I will go through the formalities, the principal or you should be, I think everyone has no problem with this, you say, isn't it?" ”
"Don't look for me about this, I'm very busy, I'm only responsible for funding, and you can do the rest yourself," Lin Yuyi waved his hand and said
"Okay, I'll take care of it first, and I'll step back when I find the right person later," the sixth uncle said helplessly
"That's the best" Lin Yu also laughed, looked at Lao Huang and said: "Lao Huang, then choose the school land, build the school site, and buy the ...... I'll leave these trivial matters to you" Then he said to Run Run Shaw: "Sixth uncle, you are a knight granted by the Queen of England, I think it should be no problem to approve a university, well, if you can't do it, I'll send it, and you can just ask Standard Chartered Bank for money."
"By the way, is our company profitable?" Lin Yu asked
"There are more than 1 billion profits in the near future," Lao Huang said
"Oh? So much, huh? Lin Yu looked at Lao Huang and said curiously, "I remember that there shouldn't be so much money in the company?" ”
"I made hundreds of millions of dollars in the mainland, plus the profit of the company's films is about this number" As soon as he talked about this, Lao Huang couldn't help but sigh a little, and said: "Some old movies that don't involve mainland politics, we all sent them to the mainland, and the results are very good, many people are tired of watching those cookie-cutter revolutionary war themes, so although the ticket price is not high, but the box office will be high if there are more people, hehe, generally speaking, after opening the mainland market, Our Hong Kong Island film is no longer the former Waibang film base without a safe haven, I believe that in the future, it will definitely not be a problem for a movie to have a box office of more than 2 or 300 million Hong Kong dollars."
"Well, it's good, it's very good" Lin Yu hammered the table hard, and laughed loudly: "Haha, it would be fortunate if the box office of Hong Kong Island movies could have 30 million in the past, but now that we have the broadest market in the mainland, if we can't get at least 100 million box office, it will be a failure, very good, great"
"If we keep doing this, I'm afraid that mainland movies will be impacted" Lao Huang said with some concern: "Mainland films blindly pursue the general environment, and there is no creative spirit at all, but before we went in, their lives were still very good, and now, I'm afraid that many of them will go bankrupt."
"We don't care about this" Lin Yulin said with a smile: "People who don't want to make progress and companies deserve to go bankrupt."
After a pause, he said: "But we can't do too much, well, in this way, in the future, we can hire those actors and directors who really love movies to Hong Kong Island, and the director will first learn to figure out what real commercial movies are, and then when the time is ripe, ask them to hand in the book, you have passed the review, we will invest in filming, and the actors will be simple, first send them to the acting class to study for a while, and when they are mature, they will be found to be supporting roles or protagonists, well, anyway, you will look at it, In a word, real talents should not be buried"
"Okay, I'll make a note of it," Huang nodded
"Well, there is one more thing to remember for me" Lin Yu said with a serious face: "There are many so-called noble sons and second ancestors in the mainland and Hong Kong Island, these people are nothing more than people who like to raise and raise female stars, here I will make it clear first, whether it is the mainland or Hong Kong Island, no one in our company can be bullied, if you let me know, I don't mind letting them go to Africa to mine In addition, the school rules of our school should also be made stricter, not that the noble son of the material will get out, Don't take those black sheep into it for some friendship, especially in the acting department, don't be beautiful but don't have a little bit of performing arts cells, we don't accept vases, but to cultivate actors."
Seeing that everyone was nodding, Lin Yu continued: "The tuition fee is not too high, students who encounter difficulties at home, as long as the actual investigation is true, we can reduce the tuition fee; In addition, you can also introduce them to work-study programs such as advertising models, in short, this is a school full of human touch, full of artistic atmosphere, full of competition, if you find that the existing teachers and students do not abide by the rules, messing around inside and outside the school, they will be expelled directly, and the teacher will use the unspoken rules to not only expel him, but also must send him to prison, I hope everyone remembers this, it is best to write it into the school rules, hum, The guy I hate the most is the guy who uses the unspoken rules to"
The front is understandable, and the latter are some of the things that Lin Yu saw in the newspaper in later generations Some teachers use their power to force timid female students to have sex, which makes the society boil, and the college has no face, and this is also the reason why he is so strict After all, the scandal is the most troublesome, not to mention a school that educates people?
"Well, I will set up a department dedicated to managing school rules" Run Run Shaw said with relief: "There was that kind of thing at HKU a few years ago, we must take caution, don't give some guys who are not as good as beasts a chance, hehe, after all, there are the most beautiful women in the acting academy, and if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, when a man sees so many beauties, who can guarantee that he will not be tempted?" ”
"Ok, it's good to remember" Lin Yu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The matter of admissions, I think I'm afraid I have to brainstorm, after all, the acting department is okay, as long as there is a little level, and people who love acting can be recruited, and the directing department and the recording department are not so easy to manage, you have to find a way"
"It's simple, I have a way" Du Qifeng stood up and said: "The director can not be proficient in acting, but he must have his own vision, we can be divided into two kinds of exams: written test and interview, well, the interview is that we take the candidates to a screening room, and then play the short film or movie we shot ourselves, let them write down their own views, ideas, etc., and then hand them over to us for review, and those who have a certain level of score can take the written test, and this written test is that we lend them equipment, Let them illustrate some truth through a short film, whether it is a documentary or a tidbit, as long as he expresses his thoughts, then we can choose the best candidates" (to be continued)
