Chapter 146: Relying on Literary Films Against Hollywood Blockbusters?
.........
One by one, their eyes turned to Fang Ziheng.
There are differences, there are encouragements, there are disdains, there are recognitions.
The eyes of difference come from the major film and television bosses, and the eyes of encouragement come from the old artists in front.
As for the disdain, except for Zhang Weiping, a guy who is not convinced by anyone, there is also a sixth-generation director Jia Zhangke!
Fang Ziheng got up, straightened the long microphone on the table, and quickly thought about what to say?
No way!
The leaders have all named them, and even if you don't want to say it, you have to say something.
I thought about it for a while!
Fang Ziheng looked around, finally looked at the rostrum, and first came to be self-modest: "Since the leader is named, then I will throw bricks and lead the jade first, all of you here are my seniors, if you say something wrong, please forgive me." ”
After finishing the opening remarks, he paused for two or three seconds, changed to a serious tone, and said loudly: "When it comes to the development of Chinese films, we have to mention three foundations!" ”
"The first foundation is our country's film market!"
"The second foundation is the creative direction of our filmmakers!"
"The third foundation is the industrial technology of our Chinese films!"
As soon as the three foundations came out, everyone's expressions at the meeting suddenly changed.
Sure enough, it's a young man!
It is the first time they have encountered such a straightforward dissection of a Chinese-language movie.
"As we all know, our country has a large number of movie-watching groups, and with the country's economic boom, the volume of the film market will only grow more and more, and the total annual box office will only be higher than one wave!"
"As far as film development is concerned, the first foundation is gradually being completed and gradually reaching the standard!"
With Fang Ziheng's words, everyone couldn't help but nod.
Entering 2010, the film market is even hotter than last year, and only one Wanda entry speaks for itself.
With the expansion of the market, investors in other industries will also look at the film industry.
Just like the coal boss, there is too much money, find a place to spend it.
The first foundation, the big guys all knew it, smiled knowingly, and looked at Fang Ziheng one after another.
Waiting for him to decipher the second foundation!
didn't ask everyone to wait, Fang Ziheng continued: "The second foundation, the creative direction, is a very critical point. ”
"As the film market expands, it is necessary to match the right movies to be released, and more precisely, there must be enough high-quality movies to attract audiences into the cinema, so as to meet the audience's viewing requirements and expectations!"
Speaking of this, Fang Ziheng's eyes swept to the directors and CEOs of film and television companies, and smiled: ""Tang Detective" can break through 600 million, and "Avatar", a 3D special effects blockbuster, can hit 13 billion, what does it mean?"
It shows that the capacity of the market can already produce a movie with a box office of 6 to 1 billion, which shows that the market is more welcoming to high-quality commercial films! ”
"Therefore, the commercialization of films is the trend, and it is not subject to the will of the individual!"
After saying this paragraph, Fang Ziheng stopped!
He knew that as soon as these words came out, someone would definitely refute them.
Really..
Zhang Weiping and Jia Zhangke raised their hands.
"What questions do you have about them?"
Fang Ziheng's expression was calm, and he made a gesture of please.
Jia Zhangke got up, stared at Fang Ziheng with burning eyes, and said in an unkind tone: "Director Fang, what do you mean by this?" Do you want to say that we simply give up literary films and focus on commercial films? ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, the film market is growing, the box office of movies is high, and the spring of literary films is coming, which is the luck of our filmmakers."
"At this time, we should support literary and artistic films, instead of getting into the smell of copper, only staring at making money, and only thinking about taking advantage of the east wind of movies to become bloody capitalists!"
Jia Zhangke's angry words echoed throughout the multi-functional conference room.
Many of the respected old artists present were shocked.
Oh, yes!
The prosperity of the film market is not an opportunity for literary films!
In the past, the reason why literary films went abroad for selection, in addition to brushing the style, the bigger reason was the lack of domestic moviegoers.
No one watched commercial movies, let alone 'boring' literary films.
And now, the market is bigger, and there are more moviegoers!
In terms of the production budget of literary films, a box office of 20 or 30 million is enough to pay off.
If there is policy support, there will definitely be more investors willing to invest in literary films.
Filmmakers!
In other words, when directors, editors, and people enter the film industry, which one does not have literary and artistic dreams.
In addition to the older generation of artists, Chen Daren, Zhang Yimou, and several directors who have made achievements in literary films have also shined.
Jia Zhangke's words said that their hearts were gone!
However, everyone did not speak, but continued to look at Fang Ziheng.
The direction of creation, after all, is the basic standard he proposed, and the main owner has not spoken yet, so it is naturally not good for them to intervene too much.
The corners of Zhang Weiping's mouth rose, and a trace of strong disdain flashed in his eyes.
Gee..
Fang Ziheng is still too young in the end.
actually took the lead in attacking literary films on such an occasion, and Jia Zhangke was really a vegetarian with those old guys.
He made up his mind that he would have to help Jia Zhangke later and teach young people how to respect their seniors.
In the face of doubts, Fang Ziheng was not in a hurry, and still had a determined smile.
After Jia Zhangke sat down and everyone calmed down, he flicked the microphone and began to speak a second time.
"I can understand Director Jia's words!"
"The continuous prosperity of the film market not only gives commercial films a broader space, but also brings new hope to literary films!"
"But!"
Fang Ziheng propped up the table with both hands, his tone suddenly raised a little, stared at Jia Zhangke and said: "Let's not forget, the Chinese film market is not only about commercial films, but also literary films!"
We still have opponents, and we have a very strong opponent! ”
"Jia Dao, I understand your idea of revitalizing literary films, but I want to ask you, in the face of the menacing Hollywood blockbuster, what should we do to fight and surrender?"
This translation, Fang Ziheng said very seriously!
almost pointed at his nose and scolded Jia Zhangke, how can you win the award yourself, of course you advocate the development of literary films, anyway, you don't want the domestic market, of course it is none of your business whether domestic films are dead or alive.
Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian and other film and television company CEOs nodded in unison and resolutely supported the commercialization of domestic films.
On the rostrum, several leaders were also discussing with each other.
Many top actors, such as Uncle Daoming, Uncle Baoguo, and Mr. Li Xuejian also nodded in agreement.
After the WTO was reopened last year, the quota for imported films has risen again and again, and foreign films have been released almost every month.
In this case, how to hold the local market is the first priority.
Fang Ziheng's words continued, this time he not only aimed his cannon at Jia Zhangke, but also pulled Lao Mouzi and Chen Daren into the water.
"In the Chinese film industry, Director Jia, Director Zhang, Director Chen, as well as Director Wang Jiawei and Director Xu Anhua on Hong Kong Island, the five of you are representatives of literary films, and you have all made remarkable achievements!"
"There are three directors here today, I would like to ask the three, do you think that relying on literary films alone, can they resist foreign films and resist the invasion of Hollywood's special effects blockbusters?"
