The crisis of the 417 film

Hans asked Chen Beiming to continue the topic just now.

Chen Beiming nodded, and continued to make his remarks generously.

"From the organizing committee's setting of the theme of this forum and the recognition of this theme by many directors, I know that everyone may not have a clear understanding of the huge crisis we are about to face."

Chen Beiming's words were not shocking, and he threw out a conclusion endlessly.

Sure enough, as soon as his words came out, the directors present were stunned.

"A great crisis?"

"Impossible, right? Isn't the film market very good now? ”

"Crisis? Where did the crisis come from? ”

Most of them don't think so.

Only a few directors and film experts, as well as Hans, frowned slightly.

Chen Beiming continued: "I guess that many filmmakers on the scene may still have no concept of the Internet era, right? ”

The Internet Age?

A lot of people are confused.

However, some people nodded, and seemed to deeply sympathize with Chen Beiming's worries.

"The development of the Internet is not very good now, so many people have not noticed the attraction of the Internet for young people, but - gentlemen and ladies, however, the Internet will soon explode, once that era comes, netizens can stay at home, sit at home, put on headphones, and either chat with friends anywhere on the planet, as long as they can connect to the Internet, or they can log in to the game and fight with their good friends, or someone on the other side of the planet who they never know, gentlemenDo you think it's the movie or the game? What's more, there are still a lot of attractive things on the Internet like games and chats, and the main consumer group of movies was originally young people, and now the Internet has divided more than half, do you think that the golden age of movies will still exist? ”

Everyone looked at each other.

"Is there really such a thing?" Some people are skeptical.

"Unlikely, right? The Internet – is it more engaging than movies? ”

"Alarmist, this is absolutely alarmist!" Others are dismissive.

No one expected that, at this moment, Hans spoke.

"Everyone, since I have spoken of this, then I will also add a few words, Chen is really not to scare everyone, his prediction will really come true soon, I will tell you one thing, my grandson, when I was a child, I loved to let him take him out to watch movies, all kinds of watches, but now, I just begged him, he may not agree, his biggest hobby now is to sit in front of the computer to play games, chat, sometimes I don't know what the meaning of the things he does, I think he is just a little bit on the Internet, But he told me that his Internet is just more attractive than movies, and he also told me that he didn't say these things alone, but many people said them, so I thought, if one day, children like them grow up to become adults and become the main consumer group in the market, if they still maintain the same hobbies and habits, then our movies-"

Hans nodded, and then returned the opportunity to speak to Chen Beiming.

Chen continued: "But the impact of the Internet on us is not limited to this. The development of the Internet will produce a large number of netizens, whose culture and consumption are completely different from those of our generation, and they will be accompanied by a new way of filming, online movies. ”

Online movies?

Everyone is confused.

Chen Beiming concisely talked about the concept and impact of online movies, and then changed the conversation and jumped to the next topic.

"The development of the Internet and technology will also bring us a more powerful challenge - globalization."

Globalization?

Everyone frowned.

It's not the first time you've heard the word globalization, but it's the first time you've associated it with film.

In the future, our films are likely to be directed by Americans, screenwriters are from Saudi Arabia, and investors are from our Xia countries, as for the actors, they are likely to come from all over the world, and in order to maximize profits, our film market will no longer be limited to one place, but will have to look at the world." What is the problem with this? In the past, when we made a movie, it was easy to determine the style and type of the movie, my movie was made for the people of the United States and the West, and it was made for the group of people in the West of the United States who like art films, so I easily grasped the needs of the moviegoers, and my shooting and creation were relatively simple, but in the future, our films should be reflected by the world, so how should I create my script to attract both the audience of the West and the fans of Xia Kingdom? It's not an easy question, right? ”

threw out one challenge after another, which caused a group of filmmakers to think deeply, and Chen Beiming immediately changed his words: "Of course, the 21st century is not only about crises and challenges, but also about opportunities for us filmmakers. ”

Chen Beiming spoke alone for an hour.

When he finished speaking, Hans's interest was also stimulated, and he also picked up the microphone and said something freely, and by the time the two of them finished speaking, two-thirds of the time of this forum had passed. In the remaining time, directors and filmmakers asked Chen Beiming questions one after another, and Chen Beiming told him what he knew, understood, and summarized one by one.

So, according to the plan, what should have been a forum where well-known directors and film experts spoke one after another inexplicably evolved into a special lecture by Chen Beiming.

But everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with this - of course, there were some people who still had some opinions at the beginning, but it soon disappeared, after all, many things that Chen Beiming said resonated with everyone.

If all this is true, if the film crisis really comes, then as a member of the film industry, the most important thing to think about is how to survive and make profits!

And it just so happens that many of the things thrown out by Chen Beiming are quite professional suggestions and opinions.

Because there are a lot of film reporters here today, naturally, the media on the second day was dominated by Chen Beiming.

"The worries of an oriental film director - does the future era still belong to movies?".

"Is the twenty-first century the glory or the decline of cinema? Chen from the East made the most thorough interpretation, and Mr. Hans, the founder of the American Western Film Festival, praised him three times in a row. ”

"Chen, a mysterious figure from the East, is he a singer? Or a creator? Or is it a director? You may already have your own judgment, but yesterday, we were even more skeptical that he was an expert in film studies! ”
