In the film and television circles of countries around the world, academic school has always been a very important force, and has even become one of the pillars. Diaphragm

Hollywood has three major art schools: the University of Southern California (USC), the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and New York University (NYU). These are world-famous schools, and they are also temples in the hearts of filmmakers all over the world.

There are also three major art schools in China: Nortel, Chinese Opera and Shangju. In the film and television major, these three major art schools later became the famous art schools second only to the three major art schools in Hollywood.

Even decades later, the three major art schools have occupied a dominant position in the entire Chinese-speaking circle, forming a dense network of relationships in the entire entertainment industry. It was full of teachers, students, classmates, and alumni......

In the end, if you haven't been to the three major art schools, then go honest and be an Internet celebrity! It's only worth eating some leftovers on the periphery.

To be honest, in the entertainment circles of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, the graduation certificates of the three major universities are not as popular as the three major art schools.

It's like the collective decline of the new generation of Hong Kong and Taiwan. In addition to the unexpected Teacher Chen incident, it is mainly because it has not been integrated into the three major art school systems.

Hong Kong is a little bit better. After all, they have a group of veteran directors, and they have a unique skill in camera crews and fingers. With just one trick, a few new artists can still do it. But ...... bend there? In addition to Sister Chi Ling, who "hugged love", relied on selling hand-to-hand combat to get out of position, and relied on several famous directors in Hong Kong and Taiwan to become popular, do other artists still have an impression? Diaphragm

Could it be that among the new generation of artists in Hong Kong and Taiwan, they have no talent? How did the golden generation in the old Hong Kong film come out?

Moreover, the Hong Kong and Taiwan media have still invested a lot of resources, and they can't move "handsome guys and girls who are seen once in hundreds of years", and even go out to take out the garbage with paparazzi candid photos? It's been hyped to the point of disgusting, and it's still not popular.

The entertainment industry is so cruel! Don't give you a chance! There just isn't a chance!

However, among the three major art schools, when it comes to choreography and directing, there is no doubt that Nortel is the strongest.

That's not to say that other institutions aren't great.

To be honest, in literary and artistic creation, the main thing is talent, and college education is not the most important.

Like the fifth generation of directors, most of them are still from the academy, and more than half of them are graduates of Nortel. But the sixth generation and the three famous directors in the mainland, most of them are wild people. Two of them are graduates of the Department of Drama and Acting? Diaphragm

So, if you don't accept that talent, you can't do it!

But why is the film industry called industry? The crew is also a very professional team. There is a need for a large number of professional talents. Don't be embarrassed - many times, as long as the director is talented, at most add a screenwriter and a few leading actors. The others are tool people!

But without these tool people, it is impossible to complete the filming of film and television dramas.

In a way, the talent of the director and other creative teams determines the upper limit of the work, and those tool people determine the lower limit of the work!

For example, writing a screenplay.

In terms of literary creation, do you really think that the literature students of Beijing University or other colleges and universities are worse than the literature students of Nortel? But to produce professional film and television drama scripts, Nortel's students must be professionally matched.

As long as they are given an idea, they can complete a script that is at least above the passing line. It was later called - excellent gunners! Diaphragm

And there is definitely no shortage of creativity in Li Yuan's stomach, rebirth is forced! That's what he actually needs!

……

Don't say it, Yanqing's European and American face is very useful. There is no need for a letter of introduction or work permit, and the porter doesn't even mean to stop it. Just by brushing his face, he went in unimpeded.

This time, Li Yuan was not happy. In the eyes of the porter, he took out the letter of introduction seriously and registered it seriously for several minutes.

Brother Yuan, I'm so serious. Otherwise, wouldn't the letter of introduction be bought for nothing?

"Boy, I remember you. In front of foreign friends, give my uncle a foreign appearance. The porter threatened in a low voice through gritted teeth.

Li Yuan's hippie smile: "Uncle, mountains and rivers always meet." Later, when I am interested in the female classmates here, please raise your hand again? "Ahh

"Fuck your shit!"

"Hahaha......"

In Li Yuan's arrogant laughter, several people swaggered into the Nortel campus.

Yan Qing on the side was snickering: "Mr. Li, it's not me who blows, in fact, I'm a responsible person." With the face of a foreign friend, my brother, I cheated casually outside, and the money I cheated in half a month could be pulled in to shoot targets. Alas! Only deceived one daughter-in-law back then? Brother, I lost a lot of money. ”

"it!" Li Yuan scolded with a smile, "You just have a face!" Mr. Smith. ”

"Hey. It's a terrible name. Mr. Li, when I walked the rivers and lakes back then, I didn't use a foreign name like you. ”

"And what did you use?" Diaphragm

"Charles!"

"Damn! It's not much better, is it? ”

"Do you understand? The name of the British Crown Prince. Yan Qing was very contemptuous.

"Hah!" Li Yuan couldn't cry or laugh. He finally remembered this sad buddy - how can there be an eighty-year-old prince in the world? But then the old queen was finally boiled away.

It should be admitted that in order to walk the rivers and lakes, our Mr. Charles has worked hard. How can he speak English simply? Needless to say, what else is "Sir, I am here for friendship!" "Ma'am, you are as beautiful as a flower. ”……

Etcetera! Ahem.

Therefore, after meeting the leaders of Nortel, they were stunned. Later, with the help of a "translator", I learned about a large film company in Hong Kong, and they were preparing to start a co-production project with the mainland. Those leaders were overjoyed, and the green light was given all the way, and the school will fully support you to choose the personnel! Diaphragm

"Mr. Smith, there are still some things that teachers and students can't understand about your collaborative project. Can I hold an introductory session? It's better for you to explain it yourself. The school leader asked cautiously.

"It should."

"That's good. We'll arrange it right away. Go and set up the auditorium for the whole school to attend. ”

"Huh?"

……

Li Yuan didn't expect that those school leaders were so cunning and cunning, and they turned the introduction meeting into a report meeting?

At this time, in the mainland, they had very few foreign exchanges, and they also knew nothing about the overseas film and television industry. So there is an expert from Hong Kong, or even a foreign friend? Nortel became ecstatic, isn't that automatically sent to the door? Diaphragm

And Nortel teachers and students are equally happy. When they heard that there was such a good opportunity, they packed the auditorium?

This made Li Yuan and them directly dumbfounded. We just want to find a few screenwriters, huh? How about the directing department and the cinematography department? Even the acting department, the art department, the dubbing department, etc., all of them rushed over?

Facing the black and oppressive human heads below, and the hungry young faces, Yan Qing gave a helpless look. Anyway, buddy, I'm a foreign friend, and I can't understand your Chinese.

Wu Yongan was even more dumbfounded. I just want to see those big stars? But is it shit luck today, and now a large wave of future stars are sitting under themselves?

All right! The two people around him are absolutely unreliable. It's better to go to Brother Yuan, I'll do it myself!

"Hello teachers and students. Welcome to the metaverse presentation. Our Hong Kong Metaverse Film Company has not been established for a long time, and it has not been half a year so far. However, we have acquired eight large and small film companies, including Debao, Golden Princess, and Xinyicheng, to form a large film group ....... Our goal is to become one of the important film and television groups in the three regions of the Taiwan Strait, and to become a benchmark for Chinese films. It's not just Hong Kong, it's the whole Chinese-speaking region. In particular, the mainland market is ....... At present, the popular Yequan Cinema in the capital area is also from our film library. We are ready to produce a large number of excellent works in the next few years......"

At the beginning, Li Yuan briefly introduced the basic situation of the metaverse. The response from the bottom was mediocre, because I had never heard of the metaverse company. Diaphragm

However, when I received the "Wild Springs Cinema", the audience was in an uproar. For example, Lu Feng had a heated discussion with several classmates:

"Damn! Is "The True Color of Heroes" produced by the metaverse? ”

"Didn't you hear what you said before? They are new company! They bought it back. ”

"That means you're rich?"

"What's the use of having money? Movies are not made with money. ”

"It's always an opportunity, isn't it?"

"Shhhh As long as you have the ability? Will we Nortel people still lack opportunities? "Ahh

“……”

At this time, college students generally have a high morale, and it is inevitable that there are a few people who think too highly of themselves. They haven't been beaten by society. Think that as soon as you leave school, you will be robbed, and as soon as you are assigned to a film studio, you can become a director?

Lu Feng on the side pursed his lips. He thought of the script he had worked so hard to come up with in the past few years. You are not rare, I am rare! It's rare to have such a good opportunity. Just a few fewer competitors......

After saying this, Li Yuan began to introduce the situation of those projects again: "...... There are currently three projects in the plan: one is an art film, which focuses on experimental cinema. One is a comedy, and the other is an ancient puppet drama, which is what we call a costume idol drama, adapted from "Liao Zhai". In these three projects, the script needs to be perfected first. The reason why we came to Nortel today is because we heard that there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger here, and we hope that more teachers and students can join our team......"

When it was finally time to ask questions, Li Yuan first ordered a teacher in the front row.

"Hello, Mr. Li, can you tell us about that art film? Also, the other two should be commercial films, right? Why did you choose such a theme? ”

Li Yuan has faintly heard the meaning of the words, and it is still an old problem in the academy - heavy art films, light commercial films. Diaphragm

However, Li Yuan did not answer positively. He nodded with a smile: "Regarding the specific content of the film, it will be kept secret from the outside world for the time being." I'm sorry! Even if you join the project later, you will need to sign a non-disclosure agreement. ”

Don't think that people in this era will not plagiarize, or state-owned factories will not plagiarize. If there is a popular film, they will still swarm until the subject matter is stinky and smashed.

As I should have mentioned before, the state-owned factories of this period were selling copies. For them, in fact, the money they make from selling copies is a bonus, and the project funds for filming the film are reviewed and allocated by the superior film company. Of course, no matter how many tickets are sold, it is also the income of the film company and its subordinate movie theaters. Nothing to do with the studio!

It is precisely because of this system that the key to this can be seen - there is money for the approval of the appropriation, and there is no money if the audit is passed!

Don't forget, no matter how you say it, a film company is also a profitable company, and they have profit requirements.

In the early 90s, the total box office of domestic movies was about 2 billion, which was a big profit. At that time, movie tickets were about 1 or 2 yuan. This is equivalent to the total annual box office of 1, 200 billion in the future? From this, how strong is the demand for the film market?

In other words, the film studio is half-dead, the director, actor and crew get dead wages, the movie theater is guaranteed by drought and flood, and the film company makes a lot of money. Diaphragm

In this case, which movie is easy to sell, of course, it must be high! Film studios also like this kind of take-it-or-leave-it, and the film company can even pass the review.

As for what copyright issues? It doesn't exist at all!

After explaining this clearly, Li Yuan continued: "Regarding that art film, we experimented with a novel narrative structure. There is a possibility of success, but there is a greater chance of failure. So before the work comes out, let's keep a low profile. ”

The audience burst into applause and laughter of understanding. Nortel's teachers and students are no strangers to experimental films. Or is it more likely to fail.

】

When the laughter stopped, Li Yuan said: "After our company's research, the most popular films in the market are action movies, comedy films and idol romance films. After all, our company needs to be self-financed, so we chose comedy and ancient puppet dramas. ”

The next question was asked by a male student with glasses. His question was more acute: "Mr. Li, I heard your introduction just now, you are the art director of the metaverse?" I would like to ask, what works have you had? ”

Indeed, Li Yuan is too young, even younger than most of the students here. Not to mention, Wu Yongan beside him still has no hair on his mouth. Obviously still a teenager. Diaphragm

At such an age, the art director of a major Hong Kong film company? It doesn't make sense, does it?

Li Yuan laughed and said: "This classmate, I really don't have any movie works." The Metaverse invited me to be their art director, which was both an honor and a little apprehensive for me. But I once published a book, I don't know if you have heard of it - "The Vast Ocean is a Casino"? ”

(⊙?⊙) (⊙?⊙) (⊙?⊙)……

There was a shocked gaze from below. It turns out that this person in front of you is Brother Yuan? Is it the legendary culture hooligan? But then, many people began to have deep doubts again, aren't you writing military history? How do you still know how to make movies?
