Chapter 526 - Negotiation of Circulation Port Co-operation 2
readx;
(Yesterday a brother got married, ran over in a car all morning, and then came back this afternoon, so tired.) Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info watched the guys all come in pairs, and Pu Jia, the lone dog, really felt the malice of this world. )
Li Mingbao knows the mainland's attitude towards the film industry, and he can be regarded as an old fritter who has been mixed in this circle for a long time, although the big guy was not born in a genuine film industry class, but after all, he is a boss, and he has to love one line to do it, otherwise he won't be able to make money.
So when the big guy changed his career to entertainment, he also worked hard to study the dynamics of mainland films. Before the eighties, there were not many mainland films that needed to be studied, because at this time, it was in a window period, and in addition to the task movies in the hands of the major film studios, their own movies could not be filmed, because there was no money, and the subsidies above were also small, so the movies of this year did not say that there were any blockbusters at all, and even if there were, they were all tasks, and they had little to do with the interests of the film studios themselves.
And the people above, for the specific state of existence of this industry, in fact, do not understand, see that the people below are not highly motivated, plus they value political things, for the nature of the film industry itself, it is really not so important, give some allocation, it will be almost the same to survive, as for making money or something, these tasks will definitely not fall on the head of the film studio, a department that accepts grants, what money do you make? Forget about your own political tasks, don't you?
is also the main focus on politics, coupled with the fact that the mainland is short of money, which has caused the development of the mainland's film industry in this year and month to be a bit strange. On the one hand, the mainland believes that even if its own films are not of the international advanced level, they still need to move closer to this level. Therefore, as long as any director can win an international award, then as soon as the director returns to China, he must be a famous director, and the limited funds must be given to them, and strive to get a few more award-winning works.
Because of those international awards, the mainland consciously owns its own films, and they are not too unbearable. But in fact, those film awards were indeed given to the mainland, but there are not many really influential awards among those awards, even if they are slightly influential awards, the awards they get out are actually not profitable, to put it simply, only insiders are more comfortable to watch, but they left that limited circle and came out, basically few people know. The niche circle of niche movies, when it is released, it is really hehehe. In fact, the mainland has really not received any truly internationally influential awards this year, and those awards will have to wait for at least a few years, not now.
But after all, there are still awards, which can be regarded as a face, so the mainland is still very happy to do this in this regard, at least to fool people, there is still some confidence. But such a thing can't escape the pattern of fooling after all, so on the other hand, the mainland also understands that the mainland's film industry is really not very good. Especially in terms of influence, getting out of the circle is a joke, so wanting to improve and not be as foolish as it is now is also the wish of many people.
Such a wish cannot be called a lofty ambition, but at least it is pursued. But even such a pursuit in the mainland now is difficult to meet everyone's expectations. It's nothing but money. Where can it be so easy for the film industry, which relies on grants to make a living, to make this industry bigger? They imagine the study of Hong Kong films in recent years, but this study also costs money.
Although Hong Kong movies are not very powerful in the eyes of Li Mingbao, compared to Hollywood's wealth, although Hong Kong's movies cannot be said to be niche, they can only be said to be exquisite and live by innovation. Originally, Hong Kong's situation was the easiest for the mainland to learn, after all, there was no need for high investment and high returns like Hollywood, but even if it was an ingenious film industry like Hong Kong, the mainland could not learn from it.
There are two main reasons, one is that there are too many checks and balances in the mainland's film industry, and many movies that can be made in Hong Kong cannot be made in the mainland, because the policy does not allow it. And the other is because Hong Kong's films are innovative, which also costs money, although the bigwigs in the Hong Kong film industry are very picky, but compared with the mainland's film funding, it is still a lot more than that. In this way, learning Hong Kong movies has become a joke, and it has changed in a thousand ways, and in the end it can only be turned into one sentence, that is, there is no money.
Money is people's guts, especially in the industry, without money, you can't develop at all, the film industry, although it has not yet reached the peak of money is everything, but there is also such a trend, so the current situation of mainland movies is indeed quite unsightly, whether it is face or lining, it is not very good.
Before, no one, or really influential, paid attention to this aspect of things, or entertained themselves, and not many people cared. But now the situation is a little different, Li Mingbao, the guy who came out of the United Cinema Chain and the Circulation Port, suddenly expressed his good intentions, wanting to let mainland movies go out, and also want outside movies to really come in.
In this way, for the mainland, it is both an opportunity and a challenge, and of course everyone who understands it knows that there are more challenges than opportunities. Although Hong Kong or East Asian films are not as strong as Hollywood compared to the mainland, even East Asian films are still much better than the current mainland films.
But it's not so easy to get the people above to make some classic movies out. Because any truly classic movie needs to pay a big price, otherwise, a classic movie can't be called a classic, to a certain extent, in the film industry, the degree of classicism of the movie depends on how much money you spend. The mainland occasionally comes up with some classic movies to support the scene, but there is not much of a problem. But if every movie is a classic, just for ordinary communication, the people above will definitely not do it, after all, this costs money, if the film industry can really get so much money, what is the mainland afraid of not communicating? This has become a difficult problem that cannot be solved.
Lao Wang is undoubtedly a smart person, although he is not a person in the film industry, but he also sees the problems of mainland films very thoroughly, after all, he stands tall, of course, he can see far, how not to understand the dilemma of mainland films, that is, to understand the dilemma, he will say that it is difficult to simply go out and bring in.
This going out not only needs the recognition of people in the film industry, art or something, at this time, it is undoubtedly a fig leaf, which seems useful, but in fact cannot solve the trouble. If you really go out, you have to make money, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. If you really want to go out, you don't make money, and no matter how much you say, it doesn't make any practical sense. But it is quite difficult for mainland films to make money, so it is difficult to go out.
But the harder thing is not to go out, but to bring in. No matter how strong foreign films are, everyone understands that if these movies that can really make money come in and are not restricted, then the mainland market will have to be taken away. What is the point of the existence of such a mainland film industry?
Lao Wang naturally thinks that mainland films simply go out, whether they make money or not, it is good to open their eyes, foreign films don't come in, now learn and practice first, and when you have money in the future, then you can make great strides forward. But this kind of thing, Lao Wang also knows that it is unrealistic, even with the help of Li Mingbao, a circulation port, it is also unrealistic. The reason why those people listened to Li Mingbao's words was just because Li Mingbao would let them make money, but if they didn't make money, others would naturally be able to get another person to come out to replace Li Mingbao, and then the mainland would not only harm Li Mingbao, but they would not do any good.
So it's very difficult to go out and bring in, and it's rare to have a headache.
Li Mingbao is not the kind of person who is not self-interested and specializes in benefiting others, if he really wants to be Lei Feng, he will not have such achievements now. A specific hero of a specific era is not representative in the first place, and if you have to come up with this truth, it is correct, that is. So on this issue, it is not easy for Li Mingbao to come up with a good explanation. Fortunately, Li Mingbao's vision is ahead of the times, so he really has such a way now, although there is no guarantee that it is 100% for the mainland's consideration, but the lesser of two evils, in doing so, he can always give the mainland a way.
So when Lao Wang said that, Li Mingbao pretended to be silent for a while, and then said: "I think the current situation must be broken, it is much better to break it early than to break it later, and it is better to wait until the future to stop the passive acceptance, it is better to take the initiative to participate in it now, although there will be a certain amount of pain, but after all, there is still a harvest, as long as the mainland works harder and eliminates some restrictions, then the development of the mainland's film industry will also have a bright future."
After all, the mainland has its own advantages compared to other places, and this advantage is enough for the mainland to have a deep foundation in the film industry. The mainland's population base is the driving force for the development of the film industry, in this regard, even we Hong Kong are very envious, the reason why we Hong Kong has made a circulation port, of course, is to benefit our peers, but it is also forced to have no way, Hong Kong has not been able to have a market for development, so we have to make a circulation port, but the mainland has an innate advantage in this regard. Therefore, if the mainland really wants to develop the film industry, its advantages are much more obvious than those of Hong Kong, and with such an advantage, in fact, other things are not very important. ”
"This advantage, we know, otherwise I wouldn't have discussed the issue of the movie with Mr. Li today, if there was no such advantage, I wouldn't have mentioned this matter at all today, because that would have no meaning, and it would have made it clear that there was nothing beneficial, even if Mr. Li was willing to help, it wouldn't have much effect.
But population is our strength, and that's why we have today's conversation, breaking old notions, so that we have a better new life. Now what we need to discuss, in fact, is about the specific implementation situation, I think Mr. Li you should have a lot of experience in this area, so please Mr. Li, you don't hesitate to give advice. Lao Wang said with a smile.
