“…… All of you here are my seniors. As a latecomer, it is really embarrassing to stand here today and say some superficial opinions.

However, since the organization trusts me and puts this fund in my hands, no matter how scared I am and how many challenges I face in the future, I have to grit my teeth and work hard to live up to my ......."

At the symposium, Xu Chuan stood behind the podium and spoke for more than 10 minutes.

Naturally, the content of his speech was also printed and distributed to everyone. But when he actually started talking, there was still a lot of difference between the colloquial stuff and the literal content.

For example, what Xu Chuan is saying now, he will definitely not write it in the manuscript.

Not only did he not know how to write, but Xu Chuan's performance in the past ten minutes or so on stage was even more unexpected by most of the directors present.

In everyone's expectations, today can be said to be another highlight moment in Xu Chuan's life.

Why?

Because in the eyes of these directors, managing the advance fund is not just a matter of managing 1 billion funds. If it's just about managing the money, with the current cost of film production, how many movies can be made even if 1 billion is all invested?

What everyone really values is the follow-up policy after being invested by this fund. You know, Xu Zhaoqi, who is in charge of the film review, is sitting on the stage now.

Can this fund be such a simple thing?

Therefore, in everyone's opinion, Xu Chuan at this time is not high-spirited, at least he has to be full of red face, right?

But the reality is that Xu Chuan is very calm, so calm that he looks like an "old monk". His posture was quite low, and his words were also modest.

In the 10-minute presentation, the word that was mentioned the most was "learning".

This performance made Zhao Kangnian and Xu Zhaoqi on the stage a little amused, I just think that this kid is really interesting, and he is very thick-skinned and black-hearted.

Why did Xu Chuan do this?

That's because he never thought that he could do things on his own, even if he was a traverser.

Therefore, in the past few years, he has not been like many "travelers", who have not pulled out a dime, and no matter how small the money is, he has to earn it himself.

On the contrary, he has generously helped many people.

However, Xu Chuan also told himself all the time that in this world, there are still many white-eyed wolves who can't be fed. Especially the entertainment industry, which is a moral depression that has been affected by long-term unhealthy trends.

Xu Chuan doesn't know how many people he has seen who treats others as good to him as her reaping benefits through her "ingenuity".

In this state of mind, not only will she not be grateful, but she will also feel that the person who helped him is a fool and is being played with by herself.

The question is, is it necessary to shout and kill this kind of person?

Of course not.

In fact, one thing to be clear is that no matter what mindset the other person is based on. As long as the other party "wants" him, he can exert his unavoidable influence on him, so as to use it to achieve his desired ends.

In other words, don't be like a good old man who wants to help everyone with their hearts and lungs. But don't be as bent on helping the so-called "good people" as you are stunned.

Because some "help" is itself an exchange of interests. The other party thinks that they are taking advantage of you, and you are actually taking advantage of him.

The so-called "unite all who can be united" is the core concept. But how to unite is really about the method.

Fortunately, whether it is the concept or the method, Xu Chuan has carefully studied it.

As I said before, this symposium is a thorough understanding of the cognition of these directors.

The purpose of the investigation is to distinguish which ones can be supported with effort and which ones can be driven by interests to do things. Of course, there are also some that can be "sacrificed" in the future.

Therefore, no matter what these directors say, Xu Chuan will not refute it on the bright side. This is a symposium, not a debate competition, and it is not a criticism education conference.

Not only that, but his low profile and modesty are actually part of the "bottom line". Because, when facing their own low profile, different people will also react differently.

And according to their different reactions, Xu Chuan will have different coping strategies in the future.

For example, some people will really look down on Xu Chuan because of his modesty and low profile. Don't think there won't be such a stupid person. In fact, if you think about it, you will find that there are many such people.

The question is, how to use him in the face of such a person?

The answer is actually obvious, and there is no need to read too much.

As for when Zhao Kangnian asked him "how is this story" just now, why did he answer "not very well" so directly.

is because Xu Chuan knows very well that Zhao Kangnian is not really asking for his opinion, but Lao Zhao also thinks that this story is not very good.

He asked the question just to confirm whether Xu Chuan's thinking was right or not. In other words, whether Xu Chuan can comprehend his meaning in a short period of time.

This is very important, if you don't understand the meaning and spirit of the leader, it will be more troublesome to get things done.

Obviously, Xu Chuan's answer made Zhao Kangnian quite satisfied.

Moreover, if someone else said "there is a better story", Zhao Kangnian might not believe it too much. But this still came out of Xu Chuan's mouth, and Zhao Kangnian always felt that what this kid said was true.

However, whether it is true or not, Xu Chuan on the stage will definitely not tell a story of "aliens invading the earth" on stage. If he did, he would be openly slapping Juandze in the face.

However, with Hu Anze's storytelling introduction, Xu Chuan really plans to tell other stories to the directors present.

He hopes to use this story to open up a new idea for the directors on the scene.

At the same time, I also want to suggest that those present should not think about creating under the Western narrative system. The purpose of setting up the fund is to hope that everyone will tell some stories under the thinking of Chinese people.

The so-called cultural export, the first thing is to grasp the inside of Chinese culture, that is, the spiritual core of our Chinese people. With this lining, no matter what background the story is told on the surface, it is a Chinese story.

On the contrary, if you don't have a lining, you are set of more Chinese elements such as Sanxingdui, and that is not the story of Huaguo.

Therefore, when he was about to talk about the content of the manuscript on the stage, he smiled and said, "I am the last one of us to speak this time."

So, I would like to be on the stage for a few more minutes and talk about some of the lessons I have learned after listening to the speeches of my predecessors.

Speaking of which, Director Hu's speech just now made me very emotional, I think this concept is quite feasible to help upgrade our film industry through hard science fiction themes. ”

As soon as Xu Chuan's words came out, many people at the scene reacted to the meaning of these words.

Not only that, but these people also reacted to Xu Chuan's next words, which represented his true thoughts on the investment direction of this fund.

All of a sudden, everyone began to get serious.

"I'm a sci-fi lover myself, and speaking of which, I have an interesting fact here that I would like to share with you. Didn't I go back some time ago?

When I got back, I went to the house of one of my teachers, who is 70 years old and retired. After retirement, I don't have any entertainment hobbies, I just like to watch TV.

On the day I used to be, there was a movie on TV that everyone had seen, called "The End is Coming". ”

Xu Chuan said that "The End is Coming" is a very famous bad movie, and the score is equivalent to "Shanghai Fortress".

"I believe you all know very well what the situation is in this film, so I really can't stand it. My teacher also seemed to be a little overwhelmed, so he chatted with me while watching a movie.

As we chatted, my teacher said to me, 'Xu Chuan, you're also a director now, do you have any ideas for making a movie of this type?' ’

I was really bored at the time, so I told the old man with great interest that I was very interested. Not only was I interested, but I also made up a story for the elderly on the spot. Xu Chuan paused when he said this.

Then he continued: "I said let's imagine a situation, suppose that one day in the future, suddenly the sun has a problem. What went wrong?

It is that the sun is aging at an accelerated pace towards red giants, that is, the sun is expanding at an accelerated rate, and the earth is beginning to inevitably heat up.

The worst thing is that in a hundred or two hundred years this sun will expand into the Earth's orbit and engulf the entire Earth. It only takes a few decades for the Earth to become unlivable.

Therefore, humanity has to respond within these decades. As a result, the rulers of various countries joined forces to build five super-large space stations in the name of scientific research.

This space station houses the seeds of all the plants on our planet, as well as the sperm and eggs of many animals. But the number of people that can be carried on the space station is very limited.

Let's assume that these five space stations can accommodate a million people, which is already a very scary statistic.

But one million people is still too small for the number of humans on the entire planet. The question here is who is one of the million.

The above is the background, and our real story starts with the male protagonist. The male protagonist is an astronomical worker in China, he is very kind, has a wife who loves him, and a pair of lovely children.

In one of his studies, he also discovered the fact that the sun was aging, and also gained insight into the conspiracy to build a space station through scientific research. That is to let the rich and the ruling class escape from Earth on the space station, leaving civilians on Earth to die......"

Xu Chuan is a good storyteller, his voice continues to sound in the venue, and the stories he tells are concise and clear.

In fact, the story he said was a mixture of the background of "The Wandering Earth" and the plot of "2012". And the plot line of "2012" is actually a typical Hollywood-style narrative.

In his story, the astronomer male protagonist, after discovering the conspiracy. Through a series of maneuvers, the rich and the ruler eventually had to give up one of the 5 space stations to the commoners.

Then the male protagonist becomes a hero among the commoners, he rebels against the rulers, wins, and finally embarks on the road to the universe with his wife and children.

About seven or eight minutes later, Xu Chuan finished telling the story, and the directors in the audience frowned when they heard it, thinking about Xu Chuan's intentions.

Including Zhao Kangnian also frowned, because he felt that there was no essential difference between this story and the story Hu Anze told just now.

It was at this time that Xu Chuan's words suddenly changed: "Everyone, do you know what my teacher's first reaction was after listening to my story? He said the story was unrealistic. ”

Without waiting for anyone to answer, Xu Chuan continued: "I thought the old man was trying to say that in this story, the setting of the sun engulfing the earth is unrealistic, or that the space station that can accommodate 1 million people is unrealistic.

So, I gave the old man a science popularization of what science fiction movies are, and the charm of science fiction movies lies in imagination.

However, the old man's next words were beyond my expectations, and he said that he thought that the unrealistic point was if the story was set in China.

Then these people who are qualified to go to the space station, he will not be able to go up at all. He also said that he did not know about foreign countries, but there would never be any secret construction of a space station in China.

Then the ruling class and the rich go up and leave the commoners waiting to die. For one, we underestimate the spirit of the Chinese people in dealing with disasters as one.

Second, I didn't realize that in our land, water can carry a boat and sink a boat. This kind of thing can't be hidden, and once it can't be hidden, it will be abandoned by the Si people if it is not abandoned.

In other words, the old man thinks that the movie I made is too petty. If it was really this kind of catastrophe that could not be escaped, then he thought that I should shoot a magnificent scene of human beings uniting to deal with the disaster.

Since everyone can secretly build 5 space stations. If you don't hide it from everyone, maybe you can build 500 5000?

Since I just said that the charm of science fiction movies lies in imagination, why do we have to be limited to this kind of narrative routine where everyone else is dark and stupid, and only the male protagonist is Wei Guangzheng?

He said that the reason why human beings have been able to become the top of the biological chain and develop such a brilliant civilization has never relied on such petty intrigues and tricks.

One of the first things our ancestors learned was to cooperate. One person may not be able to resist natural disasters and the dangers of the natural world, but a group of people has the ability to resist them.

We human beings make up a society, which is used to resist risks. At least every time we respond to a crisis in China, countless famous and unsung heroes will emerge.

These heroes are real in our past and present. If there was a past and there is now, why is the future gone? Why is there only one male protagonist left in the future? ”

Speaking of this, Xu Chuan paused and continued: "I said, teacher, this is a movie, there must be a protagonist."

When the old man heard this, he nodded and told me that there must be a protagonist in making a movie. So he gave me an idea. Say based on the background of my 5 space stations.

In the process of navigating the universe, there is a space station where the new male protagonist is located, and suddenly there is a problem with a certain facility. If it is not solved, the space station will be destroyed, and all 200,000 people inside will die.

If it were me, how would I shoot this plot.

After hearing this question, I thought about it carefully before replying that I would arrange for this new actor to be the first to discover this problem and inform everyone on the space station.

Then everyone on the space station doubted him and thought he was making a big fuss. But the protagonist sticks to his judgment and then sets out to solve the problem.

In the process of solving, the male protagonist will meet a woman who believes in him unconditionally, an assistant who is gag, and a wooden but skilled talent.

In the end, the male protagonist took these people to overcome difficulties and obstacles under the gaze of everyone, and even sacrificed his assistants and talents, and then solved the problem at the most critical moment. Received the support and gratitude of everyone on the space station. ”

Hearing this, the director on the scene can be regarded as completely listening. What Xu Chuan just said, isn't it still a standard routine in Hollywood?

Does he repeatedly use this format as an example to emphasize that he does not approve of this kind of thing?

Sure enough, Xu Chuan didn't pretend to be here, he continued to speak: "The old man still recognizes my story, after all, I am talking about a classic story.

The only problem is that he still doesn't feel that this is not a story in the context of our country. He said that if there is really such a day, after the male protagonist asks the question, whether it is true or not.

If we are Chinese people who are the managers of the space station, he must arrange for someone to verify the male protagonist's words. You know, it's a matter of life and death.

Once it is verified that the problem is true, then people will be organized immediately, and many people will solve the problem. It's impossible to exist in a state where everyone is watching the male protagonist solve it.

Taking 10,000 steps back, the managers are not Chinese people, and they don't verify it. But as long as these 200,000 people, there are other Chinese people.

There will definitely be some people who pay attention to related issues because of the male protagonist's prompts.。 Since there are people who are concerned, then there must be people who will find that there is indeed a problem.

After discovering the problem, these people will definitely be able to and will find ways to solve it. It's still the same sentence, because it's a matter of life and death.

The old man said that in the moment of life and death, there is never a shortage of brave and wise people here. Whether it is the self-improvement that the ancients said, or the fact that we are singing now that there has never been a fairy emperor.

It has proved that under our Chinese thinking system, success can be in the male lead, but success cannot only be in the male lead. He said that this is the story of our country. By extension, this is the story of the historical process of human development.

Whether it is China or a foreign country, when the night falls, it must be a sky full of stars. He thought what I needed to do was tell the story of one or two stars and tell everyone that this was one of the things that the crowd was shining.

Instead of learning from others to pick out a star and say it's the starry sky.

First, because of this storytelling method, the old man thinks that I personally can't win Hollywood, which has a first-mover advantage.

Second, the public still eats this set now, probably because no one has told them how bright the sky is. No one told them that there were other solutions to these things.

And this solution did not appear out of thin air, but we human beings, at least in our country, used and are still using.

The most important thing is that the so-called 'shining stars' is only one of the many characteristics of our country, and we have many other qualities and other spiritual cores to be explored.

We all mentioned cultural exports. I also recognize this matter very much and am willing to work hard for it.

But before I can export culture, there is one thing I have to think about, what kind of culture do we want to export? In different types of films, how can we export culture?

Of course, you are all my seniors, and I think there are many things that sound new to me, but they may not be much to my seniors.

I just said so much, just to share with you what I have learned.

Finally, I think everyone is very concerned about the information of the Pioneer Fund, and I want to emphasize that what the Pioneer Fund has to do must be in line with the word "Pioneer".

This concludes my remarks, thank you. ”

After Xu Chuan finished speaking, he bowed twice to the people on and off the stage, and then walked to his place.

However, in the venue at this time, because of Xu Chuan's last speech, it became silent. It wasn't until Zhao Kangnian's applause sounded at the scene that everyone came back to their senses and slapped alap.

But applause is applause, and the directors on the scene are very chaotic in their minds.

Now there are three things that you can confirm. First, the advance fund managed by Xu Chuan will definitely support films in the hard sci-fi category. Otherwise, he wouldn't be talking about so many sci-fi things here.

The second thing is that Xu Chuan will support everyone to dig deep into Chinese culture in the movie. This culture is no longer the kind of stuff that piles up elements. Wearing Hanfu to perform Hamlet's works is impossible for him here.

Third, Xu Chuan emphasized the "first" of the Pioneer Fund. In other words, without innovative films, you don't want to get a place with him.
