"Yin and Yang with me?"

"I am especially disgusted by some self-righteous people who should spend their own money in pursuit of their own meaning and dreams. Spending other people's money to pursue your dreams, who do you think you are? ”

Yin Hong wanted to interrupt him, but Shen Xudong waved his hand, and continued: "Commercial films tell a story honestly, don't care if foreigners can understand it."

As long as he is a normal person, he can understand it! ”

"I told the young directors of our company, don't care about the Oscars and European film festivals, you just want to make the domestic audience comfortable, commercial films are business, what is business? The first rule is that the customer comes first, not what art comes first, or even self first. ”

"Moreover, to put it mildly, some of us are engaged in art films, and they are not art first, what people think is that the art of "foreigners" is first! ”

"Don't say anything else, let's just say Feng Xiaogang, I wanted to shoot "1942" a long time ago, but at that time he was Xiao Feng, and the script was reported, but there was no budget, and neither the review nor the approval.

Then he stayed up for many years, and finally became Director Feng, he lobbied with the approval department, don't we want to develop various forms of movies, let's put this book as a variety of forms. He and Wang Shuo told the two brothers Huayi again, I want to make "1942", and I lost Wang Shuo to write the script, and I made a comedy to earn the money back... This is called confidence, and this is the reason why investors dare to take risks with you. ”

"By the way, Hollywood..."

Shen Xudong changed the topic and said: "Many people say that Hollywood can't bear it...

Yes, I can't bear it for the time being, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

Let's talk about the advantages of Chinese films, first of all, the market!

China's film market is already the second largest in the world, and it is still growing rapidly, enough to accommodate films of all genres and styles. There are only a handful of people in the world who have such a large local film market, and all of them are film powerhouses. ”

"Secondly, this huge market is quite high-quality, not to mention that our film industry chain is not perfect, and the recovery of costs can only rely on the box office... Why don't you look at our fares? ”

"The average ticket price of Chinese films is relatively expensive, almost equal to the absolute price of developed countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan, and far exceeds the ticket price of developing countries such as India.

For the film industry, this means much more profit per audience, which is quite beneficial for recovering investment, especially the high-cost special effects necessary for modern big productions. ”

"The ticket price of an Indian movie is only five yuan!"

"Finally, I would like to say that our market is the most protected by the government in the world!

Compare South Korea, which was once known for its strict protection of the country's film industry, which originally required theaters to show 146 days of domestic films a year, but in 2006 the limit was cut to 73 days a year, despite opposition from Korean filmmakers.

Until February this year, China was only allowed to introduce 20 part-of-account blockbusters every year, and only after the new agreement between China and the United States did add 14 3D or IMAX blockbusters, and the summer domestic film protection month - I received news that this year can be called the summer vacation protection season to describe the protection means in the stalls, relying on state-owned companies to monopolize the distribution rights of overseas blockbusters, and the cooperation of the theater chain with the film bureau policy, it is a beautiful thing that filmmakers from other countries can't even dream of. ”

"Under such a premise, you still have to complain?"

Yin Hong hurriedly said, "Thank you, Director Shen..."

Offstage... After a brief silence, a storm of applause rang out.

Xu Guangtou applauded desperately, with a look of fascination.

Who doesn't want to be a person like Shen Xudong - directly scolded, without any affection!

"Thank you, sincere Director Shen, he deserves to be... Let us once again give him our warmest applause..."

"No..."

Shen Xudong stepped down from the stage and nodded to the audience.

Oh, and the audience is just a few media outlets and some officials from the Film Bureau...

In other words, Shen Xudong's words about Lu Chuan will be recorded and even published, but... In general, you will be very cautious when it comes to the choice of words...

At most, it's a heated exchange...

"Or Xudong directly..."

"When the status is reached, you can naturally say whatever you want!"

While Ning Hao was talking to Xu Guangtou, Shen Xudong walked up to them with the flowers sent by the organizer, opened his suit, and put the flowers on the chair next to Xu, "Made, it's hot." ”

"The lighting is for drama lighting, and it's really hot..."

"Isn't Ning Hao going up?"

"I'll wait... Let Xu Zheng go up and pretend to be forced first..."

The three of them chatted as if no one was around, and they didn't care about Lu Chuan on the side at all-Ya was crying again, taking out a handkerchief and wiping her tears...

Now it is Wei Desheng who is going up to speak, a Taiwanese director, "Saidek Bale" is about to be released in the mainland, and he has to do publicity...

It is said that the miserable publicity was started by "Hundred Birds and Phoenix", really not, Wei Desheng is really awesome, all major programs are on, all kinds of publicity is not easy for "Saidek Bale", all kinds of borrowing money or something...

There were even rumors that 'Wei Desheng was so short of funds when he was filming "Saidek Balai" that sometimes he didn't even have the money to buy bullets'...

Many people call him: Idealist!

The question is, you're riding a horse to make a movie, what's the use of promoting that?

As far as you are concerned, do Taiwanese directors have ideals?

Besides, why should investors pay for your ideals? Make the audience acceptable?

Then many people felt that what he said made sense, and all kinds of discussions, saying, 'Why do Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige have the opportunity to make blockbusters, but we don't have the opportunity?' ’

Some people even asked: "Why do investors focus more on investing in ordinary movies to get returns than investing in movies with feelings?" ”

？？

People invest in movies and want to make money through movies, but there is a problem?

even got the film bureau to set up a special film fund to support filmmakers with dreams...

Make a scene...

Host Yin Hong looked at Shen Xudong: "What do you think of Xudong?" ”

"Making a movie is not about spending your own money, only considering artistry and ignoring the market, such a big investment, isn't it equivalent to someone else's money to let you realize your ideals, everyone is an adult, don't make a fuss!"

"From the perspective of investors, I'll just say: You Wei Desheng's cards are not enough, Zhang Yimou made movies, and he didn't lose money!"

Wei Desheng retorted: "... That being said, who has a card for young directors? ”

Shen Xudong was speechless: "Zhang Yimou's first three films, "Red Sorghum" won the Berlin Golden Bear, the second "Ju Dou" won an award at Cannes, and was even nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and the third "Red Lantern Hangs High" won the Silver Lion Award at the 48th Venice International Film Festival... How much do those three movies cost? It's like who hasn't been young, if you don't have the ability, you say you don't have the ability, what kind of dreams do you have, who has no dreams when you step on a horse? ”

"Stepping on a horse, a Taiwanese director who has only made one movie and has won the most important award is the Golden Horse Award, because of his niche literature and art, he can casually suppress mainland directors Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige?"
