Chapter 21: The Icelandic Covenant (III)

Although a good film has no borders, this criterion ...... "Ang Lee smiled bitterly" Hollywood productions and non-Hollywood productions, just like the big house and the second room...... It's so much worse......"

"So, let's go in Hollywood with peace of mind......"

Lin Xiao smiled, "Two teachers, I don't know if you have seen the press conference when my focus shifted. ”

"Go out and bring in." He said seriously, "I don't expect to surpass Hollywood, I just hope that our country's film industry can get closer and closer, at least ...... It must be able to appear to the point that everyone in Hollywood recognizes a superstar. ”

"It's hard, it's hard!" Ang Lee shook his head mercilessly and said, "A large part of this thing depends on the box office." If the box office is strong, and if there are good films, the influence will go up, but China ......"

"Our box office is not weak, but when it is evenly spread, it is unimaginably weak...... In a country of more than a billion people, the number of screens is less than half of that of others...... How can Chinese artists and film and television practitioners have the right to speak? ”

"You have a good idea and a lot of ambition. But to achieve ......" Wu Yusen sighed, "I don't know if I can see ...... in my lifetime"

Lin Xiao was silent.

That's what he really thinks.

From the time Wang Zhongjun called him, he hated this system full of scabies, but he did not have the strength to overthrow it.

Even if he finally came to the top of his word in the mainland, so what? Still, you can't confront the system.

Weak!

This idea has always been buried in his heart. For outsiders, he only said, go out and bring it back, and no one knows how heavy the weight is hidden in this sentence.

Why go out? This is a problem that every film and television person has to face, but they all avoid talking about it.

As for bringing it back, what to bring? He didn't have an eyebrow either.

But tonight, when he met the special advice of the two seniors, he realized that he was not the only one who cared about the film and television industry of his motherland.

also made him say his true thoughts on impulse.

However, he does not regret this impulse.

In addition to Cheng Long, Li Lianjie and Zhou Runfa, the most important Chinese film and television industry in the world is now in this hut, not to mention it at this time, but when?

"Maybe it's just a fantasy......," he said after a while, looking at the ceiling, in a heavy but unquestioning tone, "but I hope I can do it." ”

"Do it, why do you?" Li An frowned, "Lin Xiao, this involves the system, the water is too deep, you may not be against anyone, maybe from the moment you decide, you are on the opposite side of some people, to let China appear, or to become an emperor superstar in China...... We are very supportive of this idea, but it is not realistic. ”

Lin Xiao did not answer.

After a long time, Li An and Wu Yusen did not urge him, only to hear him say leisurely, "Actually, we have a gambling game." ”

Ang Lee and the others did not speak, because Lin Xiao's words hit the deepest heart in the hearts of every international Chinese film and television person: except for Hollywood, there is no place for real "preaching". Even if the same film is made, it is a question of whether the cost can be recovered. Moreover, whether it can be filmed and whether it can pass the review is the biggest problem.

"We can have an assumption, that is, every country wants the film and television industry to be a part of creating black letters."

"Like South Korea, the film and television industry has become a pillar. Doesn't China want to? No, for sure. Don't have talent? No, there are certainly talents, but, most importantly, there is no leader, and there is no foundation! ”

"Are you complaining that we didn't take the lead?" Wu Yusen frowned, "You are wrong, we have done a lot of things that you don't know where you can't see, and the result is ...... Can't change ...... at all"

"Yes, you can't help it. But...... I don't have to be out of the question! Lin Xiao's eyes brightened, and in his mind, a line that had been groggy gradually became clear.

"You?" Ang Lee and Wu Yusen both looked at him strangely, as if they were looking at aliens.

"I'm not saying I can change, it's me, I can be this wedge!" Lin Xiao became more and more agile when he spoke, and the feeling of sudden enlightenment made him continue to speak in one go.

"I have two major strengths." He raised two fingers: "First, the country's first honorary ambassador." ”

"Second, I hold the light!"

"Based on this, we can make a deal with China's most critical film and television department." He gritted his teeth and laughed, "It's just right, the relationship between the three major departments and me is ...... It's not good, but it's familiar. ”

I've eaten it several times, but he didn't say it.

"Are you going to bet on the success of the transformation of China's film and television industry?" The cold hairs on Li An's back stood up, and he didn't know Lin Xiao at a glance.

This young man's heart is too big, he didn't become a god from China, he actually wanted to build a god altar in China!

"Impossible!" Wu Yusen was already completely serious, frowning and said, "Why did the country promise you?" Let's call this a bet for the time being, what are you betting on? If you lose, you lose, but the country is betting on the entire film and television sector. It's just a fantasy. Moreover, since it is called a country, there is no gamble, and now the country, every step is the work of think tanks and planners, which is equivalent to making a system change! ”

"Besides, when the time comes, you're going to give orders? Who will listen to you? Which country's officialdom rarely sees things that are contrary to the yang and the yin? China's legal system is not perfect, even if you have a 1 in 100 million possibility, you really let several major departments reform the Chinese film and television industry because of your nod, and make the Chinese film and television industry a god list that can be crowned gods, you have offended the people of several major departments to death! ”

"And!" Ang Lee's speed of speech also increased, "At the end of the day, it is necessary to be influential in the world, simple, and surpass the United States at the box office!" Become the world's No. 1 box office, if you don't say it at that time, the influence will naturally go up, unless Chinese film and television people are too uncompetitive. Well, from this step alone, what about the funds of the theater chain? are all private cinemas, except for the Chinese film star Mei, China Film Federation, several other companies are killing you to the death, real estate giants like Wanda have joined in, how can you surpass the United States in the number of screens and the number of moviegoers? ”

"How do you make sure that these screens are not showing American films, but Chinese films? What do you do with the funds for the theater chain? Looking for state subsidies? Wu Yusen shook his head and didn't stop, "Don't say it, it's all a lot of difficulties, and now, it's impossible." ”

Lin Xiao smiled.

"Two teachers, if it's really impossible, then why are you saying so much?"

Wu Yusen and Li An did not speak, and tonight's conversation had already deviated from the purpose of their coming.

They just came to see the "very potential" Chinese people, but they didn't expect to see a hidden dragon!

It is true that there is a residual possibility, but even if this unattainable condition is met, the future will still be difficult.

However, once this possibility is established, it can make people see the light!

Neither of them spoke, looking at Lin Xiao quietly.

Lin Xiao was silent for a long time and raised two fingers.

"Two years!"

"Nominated for an Oscar in two years! If an Oscar winner, and he has won it consecutively and is sought after by Hollywood, such an identity has the identity of an honorary ambassador for the reform of some departments in China, maybe this person has already met with some important foreign figures at this time, and he still holds the world's first video website in his hand. I think...... No matter how good the domestic department is, it will not turn a blind eye! ”

"Z!" Li An, Wu Yusen gasped.

It's too big, too big to imagine.

Indeed, in this way, the entire country's film and television circle will probably revolve around him, and he will turn a blind eye to the rules of several major ministries, as long as he does not violate the taboo of immigration, I am afraid that no one will provoke him, and he has to listen to him as if he is thoughtful.

But!

It's unimaginable!

The Oscar winners in history, just like the best director, are simply clouds in the sky, unattainable, and won them consecutively, there are only three people in history!

Lin Xiao's inference is not wrong, with the dawn in his hands, his identity as an honorary ambassador, in the eyes of the state department, has long been beyond ordinary artists, even if Chen is at the head of the Ming Dynasty Wang Zhiwen. Dawn, that is a sharp weapon that can enter the state department, the Central Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, if used well, can play a surprisingly winning role.

However, it is the starting point of this inference that is wrong, and this is almost an impossible task.

Just like ordinary people who hope to become the president of the world tomorrow, it is a dream, and they will wake up eventually.

Wu Yusen suddenly smiled.

"This kid, I suddenly like him a little."

"Let's not say whether he can do it, but it's really for film and television, I can see this." He smiled and said, "You're right. 'If' such an epic superstar does come out, the state department may really make an exception, but can you be sure that this superstar is you? ”

"Let me say bluntly, the Internet has developed to the present, becoming popular overnight and frustrated overnight, which is already common in the circle, what is a superstar? It's not just that he has good movies one after another, but he often stages a movie with a great national spirit, and the global box office is crazy, at least there must be this foundation. Take Will Smith's Independence Day, for example. But in the United States, can you make such a movie? Can such a movie be your turn? Lin Xiao, believe me, this kind of film can only choose between whites and blacks, and it is impossible for other races to take their turns. ”

"If you want to make this kind of film, you must first become an American expert, otherwise it will be difficult to act!"

"And, even if you reach it, there is no foundation, how do you go about this kind of change of dynasty? The foundation is accumulated step by step, and without accumulation, it is just talk on paper. Ang Lee sighed, "Speaking of which, Chinese schools ...... Relative population ...... Poor few...... Is compulsory education really obligatory...... How many children can't afford to go to school because of tuition fees, to put it bluntly...... The country needs to be stronger......"
