"Pork is pork, anyway, it's a theoretical thing, if you really want to revitalize the big market of movies, theoretical things are indispensable, and practical things are also indispensable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoOtherwise, there is only theory, no practice, and the film market will not work. Li Mingbao said helplessly to the old chief.

"You little comrade, it's just a little bad. It's like a toothpaste, it won't move if you don't squeeze it. At the beginning, you said that you don't understand the film industry, if you don't understand this industry, would you say such a theory? I can't see it. Now that the words have been spoken, you just took out those things in your belly, and you didn't want your things for nothing, so why bother? The old chief said to Li Mingbao with a smile.

Hearing the old chief's words, Li Mingbao had a wronged expression: "Old chief, I really don't know about the situation on the mainland. I'm talking about Hong Kong, where is it as exaggerated as you say?

I myself have a few pounds and a few taels, and I know that I really can't afford to wear a high hat. If you want me to say it, then I'll go on. Anyway, it's all a family statement, and it can't be summarized as a global situation. Let's go back to the topic at the beginning, Hollywood's investment in movies is willing to pay for it, there is no doubt about it.

They don't spend money randomly, but there are certain rules, and it can even be said that their investment in movies is very picky, and they won't give a penny of money that shouldn't be given. But where they need it, they don't mind how much it costs. Because they know that these places of spending money are the road that future movies will take, and standing on the road ahead, they undoubtedly see a more long-term view.

In fact, these long-term things have already shown signs of emergence, but in Hong Kong, I don't see how much attention people in the industry attach to such opportunities. People who don't see the long term will eventually be eliminated, which will become a reality in any industry, but now Hong Kong people, especially filmmakers, don't care about these at all, if it continues like this, I can assert that when Hollywood's new technology develops to a certain stage, not to mention Hong Kong's overseas market, even Hong Kong's domestic market, I'm afraid it will fall down with a push, and there is no ability to resist. ”

"You've said so much, what the hell is it about Hollywood that scares you so much? It is actually said that this new technology has developed to a certain stage, and a market like Hong Kong with a good market has no power to fight back? The old chief asked.

"Special effects! Hollywood is now burning money on special effects, not a small amount, and the application of this kind of thing to movies is a major breakthrough in the history of film. Especially computer special effects, old chief, can you imagine Hollywood filmmakers using countless computers to make special effects for movies? That kind of effect is really not comparable to ordinary technology, and the current computer special effects technology is only in the initial stage, and when such technology is really mature, it is difficult for people to distinguish the truth of the picture from the fake in the movie. Li Mingbao thinks about those special effects blockbusters in later generations, and he really doesn't have any strong ideas about the current Hong Kong movies.

"Computer special effects? I know, it's those Star Wars images, I've seen it, and it's really good. But such things are too expensive, and the country is still very poor, and computers should be used in the field of science and technology, and it is difficult for the country to bear these things that have no actual output. Maybe only when we have money in the future can we do it like the Americans, but now, we can't solve these things. The old chief said that when the computer was used for special effects, it was obviously a little painful.

In the old chief's view, high-tech things like computers should have been used for scientific research and other things, and using them to make movies is completely tyrannical, and Americans have money, and they can afford to waste it, but there is not so much money in China to waste for making movies.

Li Mingbao also understood the old chief's words, and even more knew that what the old chief said was a fact for the mainland. It is not realistic at all to want the mainland to use computers to make movies now, let alone now, in another ten years, the mainland may not be willing to spend such money.

"So, that's the gap between the ideal and the reality. Not to mention the mainland, even if it is Hong Kong, it is unrealistic to want to do it like Hollywood. The reason why I say such a thing is just to introduce you to the situation in Hollywood, chief. Their treatment is really unique.

For them, as long as they can make money in movies, even if they invest a little more, it doesn't matter, they can earn it back anyway, because their market capacity is very large. Willing to invest, there are also rich returns, this is the beginning of a virtuous circle for the Hollywood film industry to get better and better.

And with the shrewdness of the people on the Hollywood side, they will definitely gradually expand this advantage, and then let the people chasing behind them completely despair, and then become their dumping ground, such a thing will not be changed by will, but will change according to the market, Hong Kong can't stop it, and the mainland can't stop it either. Li Mingbao said in a low tone.

"Is it really that scary? Can't even stop the executive order? The old chief asked with little confidence in Li Mingbao's judgment.

With the shrewdness of the old chief, how could he not know that such a general trend was really going to happen, and in the future, only Hollywood would have the final say on the rules of the film market. If other industries are forgotten, the problem is that the film is related to the inheritance of culture and civilization, and there is no power to fight back, then the reality will become very bad. If Western ideas are invaded by something like movies, it will be a completely asymmetrical battle.

"If you can block it now, as long as you guard it tightly, it's easy to block it, but it won't necessarily be in the future. After all, the means of entertainment in China are still very simple, except for newspapers and television, these things are controlled by the government, and the effect of the executive order will be very good. But in the future, when the life in China slowly improves, there will be all kinds of new changes in the way of entertainment, so that the means for the common people to obtain entertainment information will no longer be as single as now, and it will be much easier for Hollywood movies to enter the domestic market, even if they will not make any money by themselves by entering the market, but they have cultivated their own market, and there will always be a way to get money from this market in the future.

The most difficult thing in the world is to open the market, and when the market is opened, other problems will be easily solved. And with the quality of Hollywood movies, compared with the quality of domestic movies, it is not a grade at all, even ordinary people can distinguish between good and bad movies, inferior things, and it is impossible to compete with benign things.

Take my latest film in Hollywood, for example, this movie is about a robot that returns to the modern era from the future, and the content is very novel, we don't say it, just some of the scenes in the movie, now only Hollywood can do it, even European counterparts, can't do that kind of special effects. A very modern robot, but in a very short period of time, has changed its face into a human form, and has the appearance of ordinary people.

This is one of the shots in my movie, and it's a continuous long shot, not a short cut-out picture, old chief, can you imagine how much of a sensation it will cause when such a picture appears? And this is not the most exaggerated shot, in the script, there are some shots that can achieve a sensational effect. And these things are the special effects they make with computer technology, and other technologies can't complete such scenes. Li Mingbao said.

Although the box office of the movie "Terminator" is not very high, his evaluation in film history is very high, and the use of computer special effects in it is the focus of high evaluation.

"When your movie is finished, remember to get me a copy, hearing is false, seeing is believing. Since you are so optimistic about your movie, then I will be an audience, and let me also see how real these things are in your mouth.

Okay, let's talk about something practical, computer special effects, we can't afford to use it in China for a while, in addition to these things, do you think there are other ways to quickly make our domestic film market dynamic? "The old chief obviously didn't want to continue to waste his energy on a matter that was now equal to nothing, so he spoke directly.

What does it mean to be energetic? It's actually quite interesting and quite simple. An industry that can make money is a dynamic performance. In the past, when the mainland was vigorous, it usually meant that it was ideologically, that is, politically vigorous. And now the big guy in front of him, what he says is energetic, but he is usually energetic in capital.

Li Mingbao obviously understood the old chief's words, but this topic was quite broad, and the theory he said at the beginning was actually within this dynamic range. But obviously, the old chief was not satisfied with that little thing, and wanted to get more from Li Mingbao.

If it were a different person, Li Mingbao would also put forward some necessary requirements while talking about his own ideas, after all, his own ideas can also make money, and give them to others for nothing, isn't that a loss-making business?

But the problem is that the person in front of him is an old chief, and it is a little inappropriate to ask him for it. For such an old man, he knows what you are talking about, even if you don't ask for it, he will not take advantage of you, and he will definitely give Li Mingbao some preferential treatment in some aspects. In this case, if Li Mingbao made an inopportune request at this time, although he would get an affirmative reply from the old chief, it would be really stupid to turn friendship into a simple transaction.

"If you want to make the film industry dynamic in a short period of time, this thing is actually very easy to achieve, the key is to achieve these things at the same time, there will definitely be some other aspects of loss, so the problem between trade-offs is usually more difficult to solve. I don't know much about my counterparts in China, so I'll take Hong Kong as an example. One of the most important measures I take to make movies in Hong Kong is to decentralize power and money.
