rising director

Speaking of high technology, they also know that high technology is helpful to movies, but few old experts understand what high technology is.They may not even know what is a matte scene, what is a motion capture technology, what is a grain special effect, and what is m.

Some of them don't even understand digital images, or even the influence of the Internet on movies.

Therefore, I can only talk about it in general, and generally classify special effects as high-tech.

After Wan Xiaohu finished speaking, he also felt that he was playing the piano to the cow, and the experts reacted too coldly.For a while, Wan Xiaohu also lost the mood to talk freely, kept smiling, sat aside and wandered away.

As for the next proposition, how do domestic mainstream films integrate with the world, it's time for the experts to play their part again, spit and saliva fly together, the bulls compare with the same nonsense, and the trouble is very happy.

Finally, the morning-long academic discussion ended successfully with applause.

At the meeting, everyone agreed that in the new century, Chinese films should not only expand their unique subject matter resources and give full play to the national characteristics of domestic films, but also work hard on entertainment to gain the initiative in market competition.In terms of development strategy, it is necessary to implement the policy of "supporting the strong" and encourage film companies to integrate with domestic companies and high-tech.At the same time, film companies must further deepen reforms, establish and continuously improve an operating mechanism that is more in line with market competition.

After the meeting, Wan Xiaohu completely forgot about the content of today's meeting, and went drinking with Zhang Yang and others.

Chinese movies, meetings can't solve it!

0102【New Domestic Film Exhibition】

On the morning of the 18th, the press conference of the new domestic film exhibition was held in the Beining District Party Committee Auditorium.The directors of the ten participating films, Xie Jin, Ding Mengnan, Zheng Dongtian, Xia Gang, Lu Xuechang... including Wan Xiaohu, were all present.The main creators of each film also came.

The press conference has not yet started, which is a good time for reporters to interview.Where Wan Xiaohu, Zhou Xun, and Chen Kun were sitting, a lot of reporters crowded over, and the guns and short cannons almost fell into Wan Xiaohu's mouth.

"Excuse me, Zhou Xun, Yu Na, who you play in "The Butterfly Effect", is said to have multiple identities. Will playing so many identities by one person be too stressful?"

Zhou Xun replied with a smile: "There is pressure, but what is even more gratifying is that I can play many different lives. This experience is very meaningful."

"May I ask Chen Kun, is it a lot of pressure to star in a movie, or a sci-fi theme that no one has ever tried?"

Chen Kun replied cautiously: "There will definitely be pressure, but we all have confidence in the script. Now that it is filmed, we are even more confident."

Wan Xiaohu cleared his throat, and said to himself that after asking Zhou Xun and Chen Kun, it was his turn to ask.

As a result, the reporter put the microphone in front of Zhou Xun: "Excuse me, Zhou Xun..."

After asking Zhou Xun and Chen Kun several questions in a row, a reporter finally remembered Wan Xiaohu and handed over the microphone: "I would like to ask Director Wan, as a student, can he really make a good movie with such a rigorous subject matter as a science fiction movie? Hong Kong The effect of screening over there, did you spend money to ask people to promote it?"

After being ignored, he looked a bit ugly, but the reporter spread rumors again. Wan Xiaohu immediately lost the mood to accept the interview, and laughed: "I don't need to be hyped up for making movies. Is it really good-looking? Why not wait until What about the new film meeting in the afternoon? I can only tell you that this is a sci-fi film with a rigorous structure, substantial content, and a smooth plot.”

"Wan Dao seems very confident?"

"Confidence is an essential element for directors. Every film requires hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of dollars in investment. Without confidence, there will be no directors to make films."

"Your first movie "Waiting Alone" has a box office of over 2000 million. Do you think "Butterfly Waiting" can also exceed this figure?"

"I hope the film will achieve good results. This is an affirmation to all of our crew."

"Can you predict it?"

"The movie hasn't been released, and no one knows how much box office it will have. This question stumps me."

In the face of Wan Xiaohu, the reporters thought he was just a student, but suddenly, the news was pouring out like beans.After waiting for a few questions, I saw that Wan Xiaohu's answers were indeed enthusiastic, and he answered every question, but after a careful scrutiny, he didn't even answer the fart.

The reporters were a little reconciled, and wanted to confront each other for a while, but at this time, the Golden Rooster Award judges, who had always been mysterious, appeared at the press conference collectively and immediately attracted all eyes.

With no reporters around, Wan Xiaohu calmed down and watched the excitement.

"Is it unfair for Feng Xiaogang to bombard the Golden Rooster Awards? Excluding "A Sigh" is to share the fruits behind closed doors. Is the Golden Rooster Award judges really like this?"

One of the judges shook his head: "How could it be? The Golden Rooster Award was chosen unanimously by 17 expert judges. There is no unfairness or discrimination. Feng Xiaogang said that out of anger."

""A Sigh" already has a box office of 1800 million, and copies are also selling well. Why can't it be nominated for the best feature film? There is only one best supporting actress for Xu Fan?"

"The box office revenue can't fully explain the problem. It depends on how much you invest. If you invest 1000 million yuan in the Mainland, you need 1800 million box office tickets to make money. If you earn [-] million yuan, you still have to lose money. Now the box office promotion is misleading." Judge He Qun explained.

Wan Xiaohu, who was watching the excitement outside, opened his mouth: "This question explains, is the level too low? With an investment of 1000 million, isn't it possible to make money at the box office of 3000 million? The investor gets 30% to 35% of the box office. According to the contract It is clearly written. If 1000 million is invested and tens of millions can be returned, there are still people investing in movies? Is this really our judge? Is it our expert? How 'professional' is it? Say something like that?"

Wan Xiaohu understands why the road to commercialization of Chinese films is so difficult. It is not easy to survive with such an expert who holds the right to speak in the film industry.

"May I ask the judges of the Golden Rooster Awards, why do you think "A Sigh" cannot be nominated?"

It was He Qun who replied: "Every judge has their own preferences and criteria. Personally, I don't like this movie. I don't like it. I just don't like it."

"Isn't this really prejudice? Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan took turns bombarding the Golden Rooster Awards, must they be full of complaints?" the reporter asked.

He Qun put on a straight face: ""A Sigh" was not nominated and said those words. Feng Xiaogang is using the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards to hype. This kind of hype is not advanced. Feng Xiaogang is a little overconfident or inferior."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar among the reporters.

Even Wan Xiaohu was puzzled, and turned his head to ask Zhou Xun: "He Qun is the director of Dongguang Pearl River Films. Didn't he say that he is very familiar with Feng Xiaogang? Is this going to kill Feng Xiaogang?"

"Who knows about this nasty thing in the film industry." Zhou Xun just fiddled with his mobile phone.

Just when Wan Xiaohu was feeling emotional, He Qun simply lit a cigarette and began to talk loudly: "Every director has to make a lot of movies, and the level varies from high to low. It is normal that the Golden Rooster Award was not shortlisted. Although the actors in "Sigh" performed well , the director's handling is also very clever, but it doesn't move me as a whole. Many classics are sincere when they write emotions, such as "Jane Eyre" and "Heart Fire" in France, etc., and "A Sigh" is also an emotional story , but the people inside are very trivial and insincere."

After taking a puff of cigarette, He Qun continued: "Feng Xiaogang is a director who is very good at publicizing. His hype is bigger than the film. It is a naive expression for him to express these views before the Golden Rooster Awards results are announced. He seems to be very confident, but he is actually Inferiority. He has his strengths and uniqueness. Maybe I am not as good as him in handling "A Sigh", but it is not qualified to be nominated for the Golden Rooster Award. There is no need for Feng Xiaogang to be angry. He said he does not value the Golden Rooster Award and was not nominated But he was angry again. His anger shows that he cares about this award. And whether the director has a professional background is not the reason for not mentioning the nomination. Several nominated directors, Zhang Yimou and Chen Guoxing are not from the directing department, and Wan Xiaohu is even more Haven't graduated yet."

Scratching, the reporters went crazy. If there was no recording, they took out pens and paper. If there was recording, they hurriedly checked the equipment to see if the recording was intact.

After Feng Xiaogang bombarded the Golden Rooster Awards, the Golden Rooster Awards finally fought back, and once they fought back, it was a smashing lore.

"Today's press conference is the right time!" Countless reporters thought of such a passage.

He Qun is the judge of the Golden Rooster Award for three times. His words can almost represent the Golden Rooster Award.

Wan Xiaohu can already predict that after today, Feng Xiaogang and the Golden Rooster Award will have to fight all over the sky.It is said that Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan have decided to go to Cairo, Egypt to participate in the Cairo Film Festival after they were not nominated for the Golden Rooster Award.

At that time, the excitement will be great.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Wan Xiaohu. Although he expressed sympathy for Feng Xiaogang, it is impossible to help him. After all, Wan Xiaohu is also a member of the professional team.

Sigh at most, Chinese movies are hard to do.

What to do next.

Soon, under the auspices of the host Juxue, the director and creative staff were invited to the stage at the meeting for the new domestic film exhibition.The reporters also sat down obediently according to their seats.Wan Xiaohu also took Zhou Xun and Chen Kun and stood beside him.

First of all, the great director Zheng Dongtian was invited to give a speech, and his voice was earnest: "I know that although some movies were shot last year, they just couldn't be released. After showing once today, maybe there will be no chance to show them again... But I believe, I firmly believe, that Chinese people need movies, they need Chinese movies, please give us, them, and more filmmakers a chance."

Crash, the applause was not enthusiastic, but Wan Xiaohu applauded vigorously.

As one of the earliest directors of Nortel, Zheng Dongtian has been active in the Chinese film industry for decades and has trained countless outstanding filmmakers.Compared with He Qun running the train with his mouth full, this white-haired old man doesn't talk much, but he is brief and powerful, with a heart full of Chinese movies, and he is as hot as ever.

After Zheng Dongtian finished speaking, he was known as the country's number one director and was known for directing films in line with the political trend. Xie Jin, director of Nortel's director department, said: "Back when Boss He finished watching "Women's Basketball No. 30", he said to me, Xie Jin, you This sports-themed film is good, so let’s do another football film. For Boss He’s words, I’ve been preparing for [-] years to shoot this "Women’s Football". Athletes, it’s been very hard..."
