"In the past, when I made movies, I made movies for the country, and the state purchased and sold them all, so there was basically no market pressure at that time. But today is different, today is private investment, to talk about the rate of return, any other industry investment is the same, this time the pressure comes. Therefore, you can take a look at the current films, most of them go to commercial films, and there are very few art films. This is the general environment, and it is difficult to say whether it is right or wrong, but this trend has recently reversed, and art films and commercial films have begun to blend with each other. In fact, over the years, like me, five generations of directors have been exploring films that belong to our Chinese country to achieve a balance between business and art......"

When attending the meeting, Qian Minli made a guest appearance as the host and began to ask the participants what they thought of the current Chinese films, the great director Wang Baogang gave the above answer, and then added: "Filming should be emotional, emotional, and not perfunctory, which many directors do not have." ”

Wang Baogang fired again!

As soon as the words fell, this idea came to the minds of the participants, the media and the audience, and there was an inexplicable sense of joy in their hearts: "This Wang Baogang filmed "Heaven and Earth Wuji" by himself like shit, and finally relieved his breath, and honestly filmed a few decent films, but I didn't expect to teach others a lesson so quickly, this cheeky is really thick-skinned, no wonder he has become a big director!" ”

Of course, many of Wang Baogang's words are still very reasonable, and the big guys also approve of it, but they just don't approve of Wang Baogang's criticism of others when his butt is not clean.

Zhao Xingchi also spoke, but he said it decently: "There is no doubt about it." It's the best of times, and it's the worst of times. ”

Many of his fans were disappointed, and they originally wanted to see him say amazing words, but they didn't expect to be so low-key. So they clamored one after another, wanting Stephen Zhao to say more.

Stephen Zhao only smiled, and then handed Qian Minli a look and asked her to ask the next person.

Qian Minli understood, and turned to ask Niu Ren a question.

Niu Ren's words were: "I think Chinese movies are getting better and better, and now is the most vigorous time." If nothing else, the next step in our company's strategy is to enter the film industry. ”

As soon as this remark came out. There was a commotion at the bottom. The media reporters kept pressing the shutter like chicken blood, and the entire art center was immediately shrouded in flickering light, dazzling eyes.

That's exciting news!

In Huaxia, a crooked company with a market value of more than one trillion yuan has become a giant company. It's a black hole. As long as it is related to the Internet-related industry. It is inevitable that they will be inserted by crooked companies, and then other small companies will either go bankrupt or be acquired by crooked companies, and they will not be able to escape at all.

So. As long as the company can connect with the Internet, they have a strong fear of crooked companies.

For Huaxia Film, this is another industry closely related to the Internet, so when I heard the crooked boss Niu Ren personally say that the next strategy is to enter the film industry, no one can calm down.

Lei Yijun, the vice president of the Lei brothers, Lu Xianqi, and Zhao Xingchi, the vice presidents of Glorious Media, glanced at each other, and they all saw a trace of jealousy in each other's eyes.

Theoretically speaking, if more crooked companies join the film industry, they will be able to make the film market bigger.

But in fact, the entry of crooked companies has intensified the competition, because there are so many high-quality human resources, and if there is one more company, the occupation of other companies will be reduced. Although the total amount of human resources, that is, directors, actors, and special effects, is huge, high-quality talents cannot grow overnight.

"In the field of film, whether it is investors, producers, or directors, they all like to put the literary works of some writers on the screen, and there is even a trend of mainstreaming. For example, Director Wang's "The Legend of Heavenly Sword" is adapted from the writer Shushan Lou Owner, and the crooked company has implemented pan-entertainment with the crooked literary network as the core. How do you deal with the two different forms of artistic expression, literature and film? ”

Qian Minli asked the second question, and asked Wang Baogang with a smile: "Director Wang?" ”

Wang Baogang said: "First of all, literature is the foundation of a nation, and all arts, especially film and television, are inseparable from the matrix of literature. So, it's not so much that we like to adapt literature, but that we're going back to the original path. Of course, literature and film and television are two categories after all, when literature is transformed into film and television, it needs to be created twice, which determines that we will add or delete literary works, this is unavoidable, all we can do is to try to trust each other with the original author and communicate well. ”

When asked about Niu Ren, Niu Ren didn't say, but handed the microphone to Li Xuebin, and said with a smile: "Li always has the most say in this question, and he is currently the main person in charge of our company's pan-entertainment project." ”

Li Xuebin didn't talk about it much, but re-said the speech at the previous "pan-entertainment strategy" press conference: "With the popularization of the mobile Internet, people can read, listen to songs, watch movies and games at any time and anywhere, life is entertainment, entertainment is life, the boundary between the two has begun to be fully broken, and the public's entertainment demand has been unprecedentedly released......

Lei Yijun said: "This is a good trend, which means that the audience's appreciation level has reached a certain stage, and everyone should see that there will be more and more literary films in the future." ”

Except for the media reporters who are constantly shooting and constantly wasting film, the enthusiasm of the audience is not very great, and some are just thoughtful or impatient.

People who are impatient are because what Wang Baogang and others said has no meaning to them.

Those who are thoughtful are people who are very concerned about the current trend of entertainment brokerage, and there are movie lovers, film practitioners, business people, and cultural people among them. Keeping up to date with the latest information is whether they can profit for themselves in the future.

When Qian Minli handed this topic to Zhao Xingchi, Zhao Xingchi ignited the enthusiasm of everyone at the scene.

"Ahem...... Over here. Let me first clarify one thing, in fact, the movie "Painted Skin" is also adapted from the literary work of a certain author. Stephen Zhao announced seriously.

The people in the audience were stunned for a moment, and then they made an uproar.

"How is that possible?"

"Isn't Painted Skin a script you wrote yourself?"

"Is this an easter egg?"

……

Even Wang Baogang, Niu Ren, Lu Xianqi and others on the stage were stunned for a moment, looking at Zhao Xingchi with incredible eyes. Qian Minli, Lei Yijun, Yan Minjun and other people who knew the inside story of the Dao were not surprised, and they all smiled and waited to watch the show.

Stephen Zhao raised a book that he had been holding in his hand, straightened it and faced the audience, and explained with a smile: "I believe everyone can guess that this writer is me." As for literary works, it's the one I have, "Strange Tales". A collection of short stories about demons and monsters! ”

"Strange Tales"!

In order for "Painted Skin" to be an instant hit. Zhao Xingchi let go of his thoughts, and with a ruthless heart, he directly took out the pinnacle of this classical Chinese short story of the old man Pu Songling.

In the previous life, the name of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" was not unfamous. As long as it is a normal Chinese. There is no one who does not know the way of the book. Because the stories told in this book are really bizarre and thrilling, some people are amazed, and some people are stunned. But everyone was impressed.

For the evaluation of this collection of novels, it is unanimously agreed that the characters are vivid and vivid, the storyline is twists and turns, the structure and layout are rigorous and ingenious, the writing is concise, and the descriptions are delicate, which is the pinnacle of classical literary novels!

"Painted Skin" is an excerpt from the short story of the same name.

Some were relieved, some were dumbfounded, some sneered disdainfully, but many more did make a loud noise.

"Master Xing, you are too fierce!" A loud shout rang out in the art center, and everyone looked at a man in his early twenties with an extremely excited expression.

Also at this moment, whether it was the fans of Stephen Zhao at the scene, or the fans of Stephen Zhao who were paying attention to the forum in front of the computer, they cheered one after another, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed nonstop.

On the Internet, there was immediately an overwhelming discussion.

"Master Xing is really domineering and mighty! It's amazing to write a book in order to promote a movie! ”

"Now, it's hard to think about "Painted Skin" if it's not popular!"

"I see, Brother Rey has really earned it now, and Master Xing is here, so don't worry about publicity. Others are holding press conferences and hyping gossip and scandals to promote the movie, but Xing Ye is much more domineering and directly writes a best-selling novel. This is really a crazy and cool hanging bomb, who can hold it better than Xing Ye? ”

"It's been nearly five months since "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" ended, right? There has been no news of Xing Ye opening a new book. I thought that Xing Ye had sealed the pen from then on, but I didn't expect it to pop out now, chatting about different things, and I don't know how to hear the name, this is really an unexpected joy, hahaha...... I'm so happy that I finally have a new book to read. ”

"Talking about Zhai Zhiwei, this name sounds antique, but listening to Xing Ye's statement, this is a collection of short stories about demons and monsters, is it a classical Xianxia novel?"

"Don't talk nonsense upstairs, I heard it clearly, it's a collection of novels, not novels, which means that this book is a collection of short novels one after another, just like a story meeting."

"Hey, I don't know what the specific content of the road is, I'm really looking forward to it. It's a bit strange in the name.,Chat about the strange thing.,The meaning of the strange thing is to record strange events.,Zhai is the study of the Zhai.,Talk about the Zhai.,Is it a boring study? ”

……

At the scene, after everyone calmed down, Zhao Xingchi continued: "I like Chinese classical mythology very much, whether it is a god or a demon, or a ghost, I often wonder whether they are powerful or we are powerful, because we often say that the human heart is the most fickle in the world." In February, I was invited to attend the annual meeting held by Crooked Company, during which I chatted with some well-known online writers about the problems of online literature and traditional literature. So, there is this book "Strange Tales" in my hand today. ”

"Strictly speaking, it's supposed to be a story book that tells supernatural stories. However, it is also different. Speaking of the worst, Stephen Zhao deliberately didn't talk about it. (To be continued......)
