342 Is the main theme necessarily a trend?
After the premiere, He Fang and they were received by the leaders backstage, and the leaders praised one after another, but as soon as the leaders finished the meeting, a secretary pulled He Fang aside.
"Director He, the robot dog that appears in the film is a non-real weapon, can Minister Fu's meaning be deleted, after all, this is false propaganda." The man with a single eyelid smirk, seemingly respectful but with disdain in his eyes, said softly.
He Fang was stunned for a moment, and then showed a helpless smile.
"This ...... Zhang Mi, you know, which shots are not used and which ones are approved, and I don't have the final say on what to delete or add to such a movie. Besides, on this hurdle that is about to be released, what scenes are deleted now. Why don't you mention it to Minister Guo? ”
Although He Fang is not a mixed officialdom, he understands the routines of officialdom.
His words seem very tactful to outsiders, but they are easy to understand to people in the officialdom.
He Fang first said that even if he is the director, he doesn't have a lot of power over this movie, and it's not that you can delete it if you tell me to delete it.
Second, time is tight, and he is really incapable of putting forward deletion and correction opinions now.
The third is that these are all decided by Minister Guo, if you want to overthrow it, then go to Minister Guo, my little minion can't be the master. A director overturning Minister Guo's decision, really do I have great ability?
After hearing this, Zhang Mi immediately showed a meaningful smile, then patted He Fang's shoulder and nodded, and left.
It's like saying, "I remember you, boy." ”
He Fang looked at the back of Zhang Mi who was going away and snorted coldly, as if to say, "I'm afraid of you?" There's a kind of letting the horses come. ”
Is he really a fool? Will they be used as a gunman?
Who doesn't know that this movie was made by Guo Bu, now you are looking for a reason for the director to overturn Guo Bu's decision, where do you want to disgust whom?
It is estimated that it is not their plan to use where they want to make trouble, they purely belong to whether they have dates or not, and then they will play first, even if they get a bargain, it doesn't matter if they don't hit it.
Anyway, they don't lose anything, if they are disgusted to Minister Guo, then it has nothing to do with them.
Some people think that they are high, everyone is their pawn, and you have to be grateful for catching you as a pawn, which is giving you a chance to pong your thighs.
But who is afraid of him, and there are people with higher and more powerful positions than this Chen Mi who speak cruelly to him, afraid of him?
He Fang didn't expect such a small episode, anyway, he is a small director.
After that, at the thank-you reception of "Operation Mekong", several bigwigs were asking He Fang's Fu Department what Zhang Mi was looking for him, He Fang shrugged his shoulders, and then jokingly said.
"It's a high-level secret, and you can't say it."
"Oh, now Director He is a person with a secret, come, come, come, which beauty can get this secret from Director He tonight, I have a mysterious gift package." Xiao Wang always joked.
Then a few female stars next to him ran over with a 'wow' cry and ran over to be cute with He Fang, don't look at Xiao Wang always seems to be joking, in fact, she is looking for an opportunity to let other female stars have a chance to be 'above board'.
It's full of routines, because confidentiality is not important, rubbing him is the most important thing. Even if he tells the truth and others say it's not, then he can't continue to rub it?
"Hey, hey, hey. It's impossible for you to get a secret. He Fang said with a smile.
"Shall we come up with something else?" Where is a certain actress teasing.
"Hey, what do you want to do with this set? Come, show us live? "Xiao Wang is always coaxing there.
"Do you want to do it?" This actress is really bold.
"Wow!" He Fang was taken aback, this tiger and wolf words were a bit fierce.
"Haha......" The person next to him laughed.
On the side, Pan Zhilin, Wu Jing and others had a smirk, and there was some disgust in their smiles.
It's really shameless to the extreme, in order to get to where to go, can't you wait to post it in public?
"Your liberated nature is a good learner, but it's a pity that today is not an audition, if you audition, you can pass the first hurdle with this energy." He Fang joked that the main thing is to save face for others.
"Director He, when will you audition for your next play, so that everyone can have some opportunities." Several actresses asked.
"Keep an eye on our announcements, there will definitely be. When I finish filming a few Hollywood blockbusters, I will come back to make domestic films in an all-round way, and there will be more opportunities at that time. He Fang said with a smile after taking a puff of cigarette.
"Director He, is there a Hollywood blockbuster that chooses the role of a Chinese actor, is this kind of audition okay?" Sure enough, the biggest thing everyone is worried about is the international market.
"This kind of audition...... It's not as simple as you think, but can I really decide the choice of all characters with one word? In Hollywood, the power of the producer is greater than the power of the producer-centric system on our side.
I know that the producer-centric system currently being implemented in China only allows producers to participate more in the pre- and post-production process, rather than interfering in the creation of films. This is fundamentally different from the producer-centric system in Hollywood, because in Hollywood, the producer can intervene in the creation, such as the selection of actors.
Of course, I don't think that copying Hollywood completely is suitable for us, and now we can do it in this way, at least let the director shoot according to the script, and complete the production on time and with quality and quantity, which is a kind of progress.
What I mean by this is that in Hollywood I can get some power as actors, but it's completely different from what you think. Of course, if it's a film that I'm wholly invested in, that's another story. ”
He didn't mind saying some of the rules of the game, he didn't think it was something that needed to be kept secret.
The purpose of saying certain rules is to reduce the 'resentment' of peers in the industry about who they always think is in control of the top resources.
Although it is not a public resource to let go of the freedom of what is not allowed to go, but the human heart is like this, many people think, 'What is mine is mine, what is yours is everyone's, why should one person control it'?
Who can not care about these people's 'grievances', but when everyone's 'grievances' towards you are more and more and more extensive, who will be isolated by the industry, which will be very unfavorable to him.
It's like someone who has a monopoly in a certain industry and eats alone, although everyone knows that this is based on your ability to achieve this height, but you can't eat alone, so everyone changes their tricks to get you.
Detached from the support of the industry will not go far, nor will it be conducive to many of the plans of the other side.
This is also why it is a reason why some companies always release the share of high-quality projects of some companies to their peers in the industry, and score points to others.
Of course, if He Fang doesn't want to be the boss of this industry and doesn't need all kinds of support from his peers, then he doesn't need to share any benefits with his peers.
For example, this "Mekong Action" is a work that is mainly invested by Tuanhuo Culture, China Film, and Bona, and followed by other companies, so what is the main tone of cooperation.
"Director He, when are you going to make a domestic award-winning literary film again? You shoot some foreign awards, and the domestic audience doesn't resonate. ”
"Heh, there are no plans for domestic award-winning movies for the time being."
"How long is this?"
"For the time being, it could be three or five years, or ten or twenty years, who knows."
“……”
I feel that this is the interactive link of He Policy to the industry, mainly for the same kind of questions from people in the industry.
When the parties got a satisfactory answer, they were driven away by a few bigwigs, and they needed to carry out further resource exchanges and big plans between them.
"Director He, this time the filming of "Operation Mekong" is very innovative, this kind of movie is estimated to arouse a large number of patriotic feelings, the most important thing is that the production is very commercial, and it is not as rigid as before." Wang Changtian first praised.
"Mr. Wang, in the future, domestic films can make one more genre, that is, the main theme film, the main theme will be a major type of film in the future market, don't underestimate it." He Fang took a sip of his wine glass.
"The leitmotif? Isn't this very criticized? Wang Changtian asked.
"Criticism? That's because they didn't shoot the main theme they wanted to see, it doesn't mean that the main theme has no market, on the contrary, the market for the main theme is very large. He Fang shook his finger and said.
"Director He can tell you in detail." Mr. Zhongying asked.
He Fang Chongla always smiled and nodded, for this new head of China Film, he didn't hear much evaluation in the industry, because he didn't seem to be very active and a bit decent.
"Everyone, first of all, we have to understand what the main theme is, truth, goodness and beauty are the keynote of the main theme, and Weiguang Zheng and Xiao Zhengda are the wings of the main theme. Wei Guangzheng is generally used in historical films, while Xiao Zhengda is used in our current reality films.
For example, "Operation Mekong" is a typical small Zhengda movie, which refers to small costs, big feelings, and positive energy, and of course it can also be small people, big feelings, and positive energy. And "Operation Mekong" is such a major event about the positive energy done by the little people who are fighting on the front line when they are called to action by the country, and this kind of story has great feelings.
And these main themes filmed in the past are too formatted, not landed, and not close to the people, and they tell the audience any big truths at every turn, so they hate it. However, it doesn't mean that they don't need it, in fact, the more this time they need the main theme.
I don't remember when I talked to anyone about it, that is, with the abundance of material life, people need a kind of national self-confidence and cultural self-confidence, no matter what country it is. For example, in South Korea, after their material life is enriched, they need a kind of national self-confidence and cultural self-confidence.
But what if they don't have something to be confident in? So, they began to steal Chinese culture, they began to beautify history, saying that their territory of Goguryeo was comparable to that of the Tang Dynasty, saying how powerful their culture was, there was the Dragon Boat Festival, there was Confucius, there were Chinese characters, ......"
When He Fang said this, everyone laughed.
"This is a kind of self-confidence that South Korea is looking for in culture, and of course, they will also find self-confidence in reality, they say that they are now the only two developed countries in Asia along with the island nation, and then blow their technology, blow their manufacturing, blow their TV dramas and stars, and so on.
Why is South Korea like this? As I said earlier, they need national pride, and they need national strength and self-confidence. Isn't there anyone in their home country who criticizes this sense of self-confidence and pride? Of course there is, but no one can stop the rolling public opinion.
In the same way, as our country develops better and better, no matter how many experts, public knowledge, and leading party on the Internet smear and pour cold water on it, they cannot stop the people's demand for national self-confidence.
At this time, the emergence of the main theme movie just met their psychological needs and identity, and the better the country develops, the more popular this main theme will be. That's why I say this is an important trend in the future of the film sector, and you don't underestimate it. ”
After He Fang finished speaking, everyone was thoughtful, as if they were analyzing the truth of what He Fang said.
