Chapter 227: How about I tell you a story?

Zhao Kangnian's coming to the meeting can be said to have exceeded everyone's expectations, including Xu Chuan.

The people in the conference room learned that Zhao Kangnian was coming because of the name tag.

And Xu Chuan knew about this because Zhao Kangnian took someone directly to the office where he and Cai Meng were staying to "inspect".

In the office, Xu Chuan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why are you ......?"

"I just had time, and it just so happened that Comrade Zhaoqi was also here, so let's just go and listen to it together." Zhao Kangnian said with a smile.

When Xu Chuan heard this, his eyes instinctively glanced at Xu Zhaoqi who was standing next to Zhao Kangnian. The two just said hello, but they didn't talk much.

Now that Zhao Kangnian opened his mouth, Xu Zhaoqi also smiled and said: "Xiao Xu, the topic of your symposium is good, we are in charge of this work, and we really have to listen to the ideas and suggestions of professionals." ”

There must be a topic for discussion, and the topic must be communicated to the attendees in advance so that they can prepare what they have to say.

Not only that, but before the free discussion at the forum, there was another important link, that is, the representatives came to the stage to explain their views on the topic.

Some of the deputies who came to the stage had relatively good grades as designated, and some of them took the initiative to sign up.

Speaking of which, there are not many topics this time, but there are three in total.

The first topic is, what is the main contradiction in the current development of China's domestic film industry? What are the problems posed by this major contradiction?

This is actually a relatively conventional topic, but just because it's not important doesn't mean it's not important.

On the contrary, the topic is very important. If this matter is not discussed at the beginning, then there is no basis for discussion on the subsequent issues.

At the same time, this topic is also the best reflection of the differences in the perception of the industry between different directors.

The second topic is the future development direction of China's domestic film industry.

The content discussed in this topic is actually a continuation of the first topic, and only by understanding the main contradictions in the process of development can we put forward a reasonable direction for development.

The third topic is actually more specific than the first two topics. This topic is "the direction of advance fund support based on the current situation of the film industry".

To be honest, Xu Chuan knew very well that the directors who came to the meeting this time were basically here for the third topic.

The first two issues, in the eyes of most of the people present at this meeting, are old-fashioned things, and they are not interested in them.

Or the last issue of "sharing money" is more realistic. If it weren't for this topic, maybe the directors who came to the meeting today wouldn't have been so complete.

However, all this will change with the arrival of Zhao Kangnian and Xu Zhaoqi. With these two participants and without these two attendees, the seriousness of those directors about this meeting is completely two concepts.

If Zhao Kangnian and Xu Zhaoqi hadn't come, most of the people on the scene would have been able to deal with the first two issues.

Now...... If they had even a little bit of brains, they knew that the focus of this meeting had shifted from the third topic to the first two.

In fact, just as Xu Chuan guessed, in the conference room at this time, those directors who were about to speak on stage took out their speeches one after another and read them.

While reading it, I also thought about whether there were any things in this speech that could be revised.

Those directors who took the initiative to ask for speeches put some effort into their drafts.

Those who were designated because of good grades were all clichés. It's okay to use this set of words in other places, but it always feels a little weak to use it now.

For a while, some people at the scene couldn't help but start scratching their ears and cheeks.

Just a few minutes later, there was a sound of footsteps outside the conference room, and the people inside immediately realized that it was Zhao Kangnian and they were coming.

So they all got up very tacitly. It was as they got up that some people walked in briskly from outside the door.

"Reporter." As soon as the assistant director saw these people, he immediately whispered to Hu Anze.

Hu Anze did not reply when he heard this, but began to calm down his inner mood. He is also one of the delegates who will speak on the stage this time, and he took the initiative to sign up.

He was already a little nervous, but now watching these long guns and short cannons come in, his mood is even more nervous.

Outside the door, Xu Chuan looked at the reporters who poured in, but he was not surprised. In public occasions like Zhao's position, reporters are the standard.

After the reporter went in and settled down, Yu Hong led Zhao Kangnian and others to the main seat of the venue in front.

Xu Chuan naturally followed behind Zhao Kangnian, and when he saw his name tag next to Zhao Kangnian, he couldn't help but be stunned.

However, he didn't do anything to change the brand, but honestly sat next to Zhao Kangnian.

Seeing that Xu Chuan could sit down so peacefully, Xu Zhaoqi on the other side suddenly understood why Zhao Kangnian admired him so much. At least from his current behavior, it can be seen that this kid is a bold man.

Only those who have the courage can truly play the role of the "pioneer" of the pioneer fund. What's even more rare is that this guy is not that kind of reckless person, he belongs to the courage and knowledge.

Several people on the stage have different thoughts, and the directors who are slapping in the audience are naturally in mixed moods.

If not everyone knows that Xu Chuan is an ordinary person born in the countryside and his parents died. Everyone now has to find out what Xu Chuan's background is.

"Director, what do you say he is......" The assistant director, who was sitting in the back, clapped his hands, and couldn't help but ask Hu Anze.

Although he didn't finish what he said, Hu Anze still knew what the real problem of the assistant director was. That's Xu Chuan: "Why?" ”

Hu Anze believes that many people present actually have this doubt in their hearts. But he also thinks that many people know the answer to "why Xu Chuan".

That's because Xu Chuan "got on the table".

Don't underestimate these five words, to be able to get the evaluation of these five words, you need to have many elements at the same time. Talent, achievements, and even the ideological consciousness of the whole person, as well as the ability to express consciousness, are indispensable.

At least, there are 9 adults in the entertainment industry who have nothing to do with these five words.

Thinking of this, Hu Anze whispered: "Talk less and listen more." ”

The assistant director closed his mouth when he heard this.

At the same time, a woman's voice sounded in the venue, which was the voice of the relevant personnel of the literary and artistic institution on the main seat.

She was the moderator of the meeting, responsible for the process, and also responsible for the opening of the whole meeting.

In addition to re-emphasizing the theme of the meeting, the introduction of the participating leaders is also an indispensable part of the opening ceremony.

This time, Xu Chuan was not introduced in the front, but arranged at the end. This is actually more in line with the conventional approach, and the position given to him is to express attention, which is a special courtesy.

However, the official documents of the meeting that need to be archived still need to be in a standard format.

After the introduction, Zhao Kangnian, as the number one leader of the venue, was naturally the first to speak on such an occasion as the forum.

This is a bit different from an internal meeting, where most of the time the leader makes a final statement.

"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, on behalf of ...... Welcome to all of you. The film industry is a ...... So ah, both organizationally and personally.

We attach great importance to the development of our film industry. You are all young talents in our film industry, and you are the best among them.

Today's forum is based on one principle, that is, to be open and honest, and that everyone should not have scruples or psychological burdens.

I think some of our directors here are still actors, and this actor has a very powerful skill of memorizing lines.

However, I hope that today you will not 'memorize lines', but really talk about problems and make suggestions. Zhao Kangnian always laughed when he spoke.

He really wanted to make the atmosphere of the symposium a little more relaxed. At least on the surface, it has to be lighthearted, so there is some "joke" in the speech.

The director at the scene naturally smiled very face-savingly. Xu Chuan on the stage was no exception, he smiled very happily.

In fact, when Zhao Kangnian said that everyone was a "young talent", he couldn't help it.

Because the first reaction in his mind when he heard these four words was nothing else, it was the first time Gao Qiqiang invited Li Youtian to dinner in "Hurricane".

Then after Li Hongwei brought a group of spiritual guys over, Gao Qiqiang called them the scene of "young talents" in Mang Village.

To be honest, this is not marketing in this regard, otherwise "young talents" would have already had the same meaning as "Wolong and Phoenix Chicks".

In addition, Zhao Kangnian's last words of "don't memorize lines" made Xu Chuan feel a sense of intimacy. Because he heard something similar when he was on Earth, a certain bigwig said it to Huang Bo at a meeting in 18 years.

At the end of Zhao Kangnian's speech, Xu Zhaoqi also made a speech as usual, and after they finished speaking, they did not let others speak, but directly entered the next process.

Statements were made by representatives on three issues.

To say that sometimes it is so coincidental, the first representative to come to power is Jia Bicheng, who plunged into the nest of adaptation.

At this time, Jia Bicheng wanted to scold his mother very much, he had known that Zhao Kangnian would come, and he would not agree to speak as a representative if he was killed.

Xu Chuan on the dog day, are you tricking everyone? You're a shit, you don't have an asshole for a son.

Jia Bicheng scolded his mother in his heart, and stood behind the podium on the stage to start his speech.

It is worth mentioning that the rest of the room does not need to look up at him and speak. Because all the speeches of the delegates were printed in advance and distributed to everyone present.

It should be said or not, some people do have advantages in some aspects.

For example, this Jia Bicheng, as a player who likes to adapt, his adaptation ability has been fully reflected at this moment.

He "adapted" the "speech" he had prepared earlier.

In other words, what he is saying on stage now is somewhat different from the manuscript that everyone has seen. This kind of behavior is allowed at such symposiums, and it is not uncommon.

However, clichés are clichés, and it took some time to revise them, but it can't change the tastelessness of Jia Bicheng's entire speech.

After about 15 minutes, Jia Bicheng's speech ended. Then, one by one, people came up, and everyone spoke at about this time.

In this process, Xu Chuan found that some directors still have a sharp view of the problem, and they do see the dilemma that the film industry is facing now.

However, it is a pity that some directors will only look at problems and ask questions. When it comes to the direction of development and the way to solve problems, it is a bit overwhelming.

In this way, about an hour and a half later, Hu Anze, the second-to-last representative, finally took the stage.

Juandze's previous remarks were not much different from those of others. In fact, the main contradiction in the film industry is very clear, that is, the contradiction of supply and demand imbalance.

What really differs from what he says to others is what he says on the latter two topics.

He believes that the future development direction of Chinese films must be to achieve industrialization and upgrading. And the investment of the Advance Fund in movies must also go in this direction.

When he talked about this, Zhao Kangnian turned his head to Xu Chuan and said, "What do you think? ”

Xu Chuan smiled when he heard this, and replied: "I think it's the same truth." ”

Zhao Kangnian nodded slightly when he heard this, and did not continue to communicate with Xu Chuan.

Seeing this, Xu Chuan also set his eyes on Hu Anze's speech, and the speed at which he spoke about things must be faster than the speed at which he could read things.

Therefore, although Hu Anze on the stage did not finish his speech, Xu Chuan still finished reading Hu Anze's speech.

But after reading it, Xu Chuan, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly became a little disappointed.

Because at the end of his speech, Hu Anze expounded a concept. That's why he thinks we need to make China's blockbusters internationally famous.

In other words, he believes that Huaguo's blockbuster is currently at a critical juncture to find a way to get out.

And the way to go out is to make science fiction films, a genre that is recognized by audiences all over the world. At the same time, by making science fiction films, the upgrading of the film industry is realized.

This may seem like a good idea, but it's actually a big problem.

Because Huaguo's blockbuster going out is not the first thing. The first thing is to make something that is recognized by the domestic audience in China first.

In other words, telling Chinese stories well and telling stories that are loved by Chinese audiences is the real first step.

If the purpose from the beginning is to gain recognition abroad, this direction will be problematic in the first place. If you go in the wrong direction, the work will be completely different.

Not only that, Hu Anze also wrote a short story at the end, as a case study of the development direction of Huaguo-style hard science fiction films, and this story may also be the outline of the science fiction story he wants to make.

Probably the plot is about an archaeologist in Huaguo, who accidentally discovered a strange bronze artifact when he was archaeological in Sanxingdui.

There are a lot of strange inscriptions on the utensils.

Later, when the archaeologist deciphered this inscription, he found that it was actually a liaison left by aliens.

The accident happened.,Because this liaison was activated by the male owner.。

The aliens soon arrived, and a fierce battle ensued between the earthlings and the aliens.

However, due to the gap in science and technology, the earthlings were defeated and helpless in the face of this situation.

The male protagonist thinks it's his own problem, and he decides to take responsibility for the entire human race.

So, he chose to negotiate with the aliens, and in the process of negotiation, the alien queen was convinced by the courage and responsibility of the male protagonist and fell in love with the male protagonist.

Under the influence of love, the alien finally passed away.

Should I say it or not, this story has a strong sense of déjà vu.

Typical Hollywood-style storytelling.

If there is any difference, it is that this story is set in the Chinese people.

In fact, it is this element that Juandze wants to elaborate. With the Chinese people as the background, and at the same time with Sanxingdui as the beginning of the story.

Hu Anze believes that this is where the button of the organic combination of Chinese culture and science fiction themes lies.

This may be something he's been thinking about for a long time, so he's excited to talk about it. But time was limited after all, so he stepped down after a general speech.

"What do you think of this story?" Zhao Kangnian's attitude towards making science fiction films is very supportive. So after listening, he asked Xu Chuan.

"Not good, the same aliens are coming to invade the earth, I have a better story here, do you want to hear it?" Xu Chuan said with a smile.
