Since 1983

March 28, Nanchang.

He was present at the conference in 1996, but he didn't go in 1997. He was called to participate this year. Leader Tian presided over it himself, and Wu Mengchen also came... When others saw it, hey, the reformists were proud.

No gossip, just talk about today's venue.

There were dozens of people in the room, and the banner 1998 National Film Work Conference was pulled up in the room.

When Xu Fei and Han Sanping came in, they felt deserted. The bosses didn't come, but some old artists and critics came.

What are you talking about today?

I do not know.

No draft?

No, I think the Xinhua News Agency will be arranged.

Teacher Xu shook his head, and took out a small bag with goji berries and jujubes. Alas, thinking about the previous Changsha Conference, which was claimed to be the largest in New China, in just two years...my waist still hurts so much!

After sitting for a while, the leaders entered.

Be quiet, let's have a meeting.

This film work conference has been held for three years. The environment is changing, and our thinking must keep up... Let Comrade XXX speak first.

Wow, boom!

Leader Tian took the lead in applauding. The boss of the XX department cleared his throat, with no embarrassment on his face-two years ago, he was the one who stopped the reform and pushed the 9550 project.

In recent years, there have been achievements and progress in film work, and the development trend is good.

After several years of work, we have adhered to the direction of two acts, carried out the double hundred policy, carried forward the main theme, advocated diversification, produced more high-quality goods, realized the unity of three natures, realized the unity of social and economic benefits, and won the audience and the market.

These guiding ideologies have been proved to be correct in practice...

HE...tui!

Xu Fei spat secretly, you didn't say win the market last time!

Film artists should be encouraged to freely choose themes, freely explore styles under the guidance of correct creative thinking, and give full play to their personal creativity.

Movies should be highly enjoyable and give people a wonderful audio-visual enjoyment. The audience comprehends the ideological content and receives enlightenment and education in the process of aesthetic entertainment.

Lack of ornamental or entertaining films, the educational function is often not well realized.

This is called Feng Shui turns.

I kept secret about entertainment before, but I will say this openly.

The film needs to develop, and the way out lies in reform.

It is necessary to further deepen reforms, gradually establish a vigorous and dynamic management system and operating mechanism, and improve a unified, active and orderly film market.

For movies to prosper, they must win the market.

Under the conditions of a socialist market economy, it is impossible for movies to be separated from the market economy, and their social and economic benefits must be realized through the market.

Today's speech, compared with the one in 1996, I slapped myself in the face. But people don't care, they are full of enthusiasm, and finally said:

Next year's 50th anniversary, we must launch a batch of excellent films that stand up, are well-known, spread widely, have excellent ideological and artistic levels, and are loved by the people this year and next.

To present a gift to the 50th anniversary of the National Day, but also to push the Chinese film industry to the third climax!

Wow, boom!

The applause was warm and the atmosphere was hot.

The big leader said again: I would like to say a few more words about the market issue. Now many comrades complain that the audience does not like to watch the films that have been painstakingly made, and the cost cannot be recovered, etc.

What I want to say is that some of the situations where one film is made and the other is lost, some are quality problems, some are not deep in market research, and some are because the distribution and projection departments have not yet learned how to operate.

But something like The Wind would be great! Last year, it drove a movie-watching boom, and the box office reached 100 million...

1.14! Someone reminded me next to me.

Oh, 114 million, what a good example! So there is no such thing as impossible, only whether you have mastered the method. By the way, Xiao Xu, what gift are you going to give for the 50th National Day?

We are cooperating with Beijing Film Studio and are preparing a film called Born Out of the Sky, which tells the story of New China's development of the atomic bomb.

Oh? This subject is good! No one has taken pictures yet, right?

should not.

Okay, the choice is good, and we will strive to produce another classic.

The boss was very happy, and he was even happier when he heard Li Xuejian's performance at the end. Li Xuejian is also a big star, and Water Margin became a huge hit!

...

The morning meeting set the tone: continue reform and focus on the market.

This policy changes every year, making everyone a little numb, sneaking in silence, happy or sad. In the afternoon, there will be free discussions and special symposiums.

Xu Fei never figured it out, what's the use of this kind of forum?

He kept his head silent, and the factory directors chattered. Nowadays, there are not many companies capable of producing films, but gift films still have to bite the bullet.

This one talks about My 1919, that one talks about National Anthem, and that one talks about The Great March: The Battle of Ninghu-Hangzhou. Finally, they are unified on one question:

If you can't get in, you won't make money!

I'm lucky to have a subsidy, but I can't even earn back the subsidy!

It's all about booking. I went to see it once. Well, the tickets are sold out, and there are always many empty seats.

Our movie is pretty good, why doesn't anyone watch it?

They looked at someone one after another, and someone didn't want to talk about it anymore. They have talked about it countless times in the Sound of the Wind symposium. I told you, what's the point if you don't listen? !

No one said a word, and the atmosphere was awkward.

One person smoothed things over, and said with a smile: Mr. Xu is a master at shooting New Year's films. What new works are you planning for this year?

There are no New Year's films this year.

Oh ah?

The audience was stunned, and hurriedly said: Is there any difficulty?

It's been four years in a row, why is it gone?

That's right. Last year's Endless had a mediocre response. Many people said it was old-fashioned and had nothing new. Fight again.

This year there is only No One Less, which is the main theme. There is also A Sigh, which can be regarded as an emotional and ethical film, which explores marriage and family.

So it's really not New Year's Eve?

No New Year's Eve.

Tsk!

Everyone is happy and angry. The minimum box office is 38 million. Our factory will be happy to die if we want to make a whole movie!

And listening to him say whether to shoot or not, I feel inexplicably happy-you are not omniscient.

The bosses of those film companies are in a hurry, they have less income, and they will rush to persuade them when they leave. There are also those who recommend scripts, in short, they want to make Chinese New Year films available.

...

Teacher Xu is annoying, even annoying.

Although there are reasons of one kind or another, it is essentially a lack of a good script, which is not a lie. As soon as he stirred at this moment, he really understood the four words, No breaking, no standing.

We had a meeting for three days, and we went back and forth on this point.

Xu Fei wasted three days and flashed as soon as it was over. The news of not filming New Year's Eve films this year spread with the report of the meeting.

Also set off a small wave.
