Chapter 184: Contradiction!
A lot of directors are quite fond of smoking.
In a huge conference room.
There is a strong smell of smoke, which is quite difficult for Zhou Yang, who doesn't like to smoke.
However, the conference room as a whole is very harmonious, and many directors of the fifth generation are chatting about their plans for this year and next year.
Zhou Yilin held a cigarette in his hands, as if he inadvertently revealed in the chat that his "Golden Armor" had already sold the copyright of the Mexican side when it was filming, and Lao Mei was also very interested in "Golden Armor", and was talking about the script and copyright issues recently......
When many fifth-generation directors heard this, they all praised Zhou Yilin.
In the midst of a burst of pursuit, Zhou Yilin sighed faintly.
said that the domestic film environment is too poor, and the relevant departments of Huaxia film have too little support for films, and there is no way to nourish blockbusters, not to mention, so that they can't speak overseas, and they can't straighten their waists.
His words made a group of directors of the five generations agree very much, especially a director named Cao Bangguo sighed, and even said that his films lacked support, they simply ignored and grew barbaricly, and even looked at Zhang Jianguo, the initiator of this meeting, pointing fingers, saying that Zhang Jianguo was too stingy, and criticized some Chinese film systems for being imperfect......
Zhang Jianguo smiled from beginning to end and nodded at their opinions.
In addition to these, Chen Kai, who was sitting in the main seat, chatted about some things in overseas film festivals.
said how free and good Western movies are, how bad the film environment in China is, and even talked about Chinese fans and media, all of them have no quality, which affects the incubation of blockbusters too much.
His words naturally aroused the approval of a group of people, although last year's "Tianji" was really embarrassing, but as one of the leading figures of the five generations of directors, Chen Kai has a certain weight both internationally and in China, and is also a veteran in film-related departments.
Zhang Jianguo listened very carefully and recorded every word of the director present.
Zhou Yang couldn't help it, and secretly opened a window, just the fresh air covered the smell of those choking smoke.
He felt a little uncomfortable.
Although I don't know what the relationship between the relevant departments of the world and the director was, the status of the director of this world seems to be a bit high, and all kinds of opinions and criticisms of the relevant departments have come and gone.
Zhang Jianguo kept smiling.
After the grumbling directors finished speaking, he stood up and announced the official start of the meeting.
As the initiator of this meeting, Zhang Jianguo clicked on the slides on the stage and said in a very serious form a series of work arrangements for the end of this year and the first half of next year.
"Ladies and gentlemen, with the opening of the market and the integration of Huaxia films with overseas, the local market has inevitably been impacted to a certain extent, we invite you all over in our busy schedules, just to discuss with you your thoughts on the future and the work arrangements for next year......
The slides panned on the big screen in the distance.
Zhou Yang saw the data on the slide, at present, the box office market share of Chinese films and overseas films is 60% to 40%, overseas films are 60, and Huaxia is 40...
This data is still slightly better than the same period last year, which at this time last year has become 30% in China and 70% overseas.
Although it looks like the data looks a little better......
But in fact, the whole Chinese film has fallen into a state of malaise.
One "Hero" occupies nearly half of the division, and the rest of the movies are not like cannon fodder, and none of them can be beaten?
"I don't know what this proportion will fall into after the two movies "Superman" and "Jurassic" land in China, everyone is the mainstay of Chinese movies, I hope everyone will actively talk about their opinions......" When Zhang Jianguo's voice fell, the directors began to continue smoking cigarettes and began to shout.
Zhou Yang didn't understand what they were saying at first......
But then I listened and listened, but I heard a director stand up: "The director should be certified to work, not all cats and dogs can make movies, how many bad movies have been made by these layman directors in this year's Chinese market?" As I said last year, professional people do professional things, and people who don't know anything can make movies after a few months of study, can this movie be good? How many resources have been wasted by these people! ”
Zhou Yang subconsciously looked at the name on the director's table, his name is Zhao Sicheng, he was very powerful in the millennium, he made three movies in one year, and the box office of each movie exceeded 10 million, among the five generations of directors, he still has a lot of right to speak.
"Yes, here, I still have to say one thing, not all young directors are worthy of being called six generations of directors, I don't mean to look down on Ye Luzi, but in the three major European film festivals, how many so-called directors have rushed to the nomination with the name of the six generations of directors in China? What is the content they filmed, it has no ideological connotation, and it is full of ugliness, it can't be on the big stage at all, and it makes Westerners laugh at us at this level, I think these people should be banned......" Another director also nodded back.
"First, directors must be certified to work, second, I think we old people should set up an organization to strengthen the review of the professional quality of young directors to avoid uneven films from appearing in the market, and third, we should recommend those excellent, truly talented six generations of directors for systematic training and support, for example, Xiao Jiang next to me, he just won the Best Newcomer Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival in Tokyo a few days ago, and he should be affirmed in China, especially the official media, should give him support...... Director Cao Bangguo also nodded, stood up and said these words.
"I agree with Director Cao and Director Zhao's words, especially some films that go to overseas exhibitions, must be strictly reviewed and checked, and some films that exceed the subject matter should be banned, or banned from ......" Zhou Yilin stood up and looked at Zhang Jianguo.
"I think the system should be more standardized and rationalized, so that those talented directors of the new generation will work harder to show their ideas, instead of blindly welcoming overseas and damaging the image of Chinese films in the international arena in the form of swords, which is actually very dangerous......" Another director stood up and said these words to Zhang Jianguo.
On the podium, Zhang Jianguo didn't respond when he heard this, but just wrote down their opinions with a smile.
…………………………
These directors expressed their opinions, and did not talk about the next crisis of overseas films impacting the Chinese market, but talked about the establishment of the "Chinese Film Censorship Association".
Zhou Yang suddenly felt that he and Feng Kai were marginal figures in this meeting.
Feng Kai clenched his fists several times and wanted to speak, but lowered his head again.
Eventually, he said softly: "Do these people still think that their rights are not big enough?" If such an organization is really established, then the six generations of directors of the other new generation will be finished! ”
Zhou Yang also nodded when he heard this.
Originally, the rights of the five generations of directors were terrifying, controlling more than 30% of the discourse power of Chinese films.
Moreover, Zhou Yang found that only himself and Feng Kai were not counted as their factions among the six generations of directors, and the others were all from their factions, and there were many up-and-coming directors of the six generations who did not participate in this meeting.
I don't know how long it has been since the messy comments were made......
Zhang Jianguo suddenly looked at Zhou Yang: "Or, let's listen to the opinions of several directors of the new generation, Director Zhou, tell me your opinion on the current form of Chinese films?" ”
The conference room suddenly fell silent.
The veteran five generations of directors seem to have forgotten that among the new generation of directors, there is also a young man who is in the limelight at the Berlin Film Festival.
It's just that......
Their eyes were full of contempt, and many people didn't even look at Zhou Yang when they saw Zhou Yang stand up.
Zhou Yang stood up and looked at these veteran directors silently......
He was silent for a long time, and finally looked at An Xiao standing in the corner not far away.
After he saw An Xiao nodding lightly at him, his eyes full of encouragement, he was roughly at the bottom of his heart.
In fact, the contradiction between the new generation of "wild road" directors and the older generation of directors has always been there......
It's just that many new-generation directors were recruited by the older generation after winning honors and followed their rhythm.
"I don't agree that the director needs a director's certificate ......for filming," Zhou Yang looked at everyone, and finally said this sentence, and then said: "I am a stunned young man who has just joined the industry, I don't understand the twists and turns inside, I only know that film review is the responsibility of relevant departments, and I personally agree with the film support plan, but I think the real definition of the six generations of directors and the definition of talent should be affirmed by the market, not by a few people......"
When Zhou Yang said this, everyone's faces changed greatly.
Especially some veteran directors are staring at Zhou Yang, which is already blatantly demolishing their stage.
"More importantly, I can't represent the opinions of the six generations of directors in China, everyone present can't represent the opinions of the six generations of directors, many directors have not come over for some reasons, if I can, I hope to have a fair and just vote to see what everyone thinks of this proposal......
"I'm done with my thoughts."
“……”
After Zhou Yang said these heartfelt words, he nodded at Zhang Jianguo, and then sat down.
There was no applause......
There was only one look in a warning look.
"Director Zhou, so you're questioning the authority of our people?" At this time, Zhao Sicheng stood up and stared at Zhou Yang coldly: "Director Zhou, do you know how your "Mine Bottom" won the award in Berlin? Do you really think it's a movie that you made alone? ”
