Chapter 90 ‘The black eats the black’ (12)

Filmmaking is a very personal matter, just like American and RB art. Which one do you prefer?

According to his Asian ancestry, Li Suan should like RB. But according to the true heart of human beings and his yearning for that matter, Li Suan should like Europe and the United States. But he is quite special, and his favorite is domestic.

"How can it be so easy to make a blockbuster? We won't talk about technology, market, and talent, but the things you shoot, the values ​​​​shown in the plot, and the humanistic feelings expressed through the pictures, one of these must be your own, right?

?" There was no wine, so Director Yang took a sip of tea and said, "I see, Comrade Sanping is just making trouble, and it doesn't matter if he just wants to play with the reputation of us old guys."

Li Suan thought for a while, then picked up the teapot and refilled the cup for Director Yang: "Director, you said you found a job for me in Yanjing. What job was it?"

"Anyway, in this meeting, no matter whether you understand or not, the tasks have been assigned. The group sitting in the core area, Director Chen, Director Zhang, and Director Lu, have all been assigned tasks."

Director Yang stared at Li Suan and said succinctly: "Do you want to go?"

Li Suan trembled. In the blockbusters of these years, there are only two tasks after they are released: one is what Director Yang said, dare to be the first in the world; the other is what Li Suan knows, and his reputation will be ruined by being scolded.

Director Yang's words complemented Li Suan's cognitive dissonance. It is an unsolved mystery in the hearts of all movie fans that famous directors make bad movies. Now we know that they are not spending money to make bad movies, they are doing school homework.

Li Shuan had no idea about this aspect. Later, when he watched films such as "Walking Alone on the Moon", "Homecoming" and "Ordinary Heroes", he had indescribable feelings. Now he knows that they are works that are in line with Chinese local values.

Although it has not yet reached the level of a classic, every good film that has not become a classic is a breeding ground for the birth of a classic!

As the saying goes, art comes from the superposition of inspiration.

"Director, I'm pretty good. I have plenty to eat and drink here, and my books are selling well. Besides..."

Li Suan couldn't talk anymore, because Director Yang looked at him. He thought for a while and said: "Director, it's not the right time. Market, talent, technology, these are all hard targets. If you can't reach the hard targets, no matter what you shoot,

It won’t work.”

"You sound like you are a genius. If you meet the hard targets, you will become famous instantly? Is it scientific?"

Director Yang easily dismissed Li Suan: "I'm here mainly for you. You come with me and choose a group. I'll stuff it for you. You go, you don't have to do anything, just show me."

Study and imitate the General Assembly, right?"

Li Shuan was a little touched. Not to mention anything else, the second generation of capital and industry insiders would definitely flock to the group of big directors. Even if Li Shuan couldn't learn anything, he could still build up a good network of contacts.

But the problem is, Li Suan has his own plan.

He doesn't want to make a blockbuster, nor does he want to kill the United States and destroy the sun. He just wants to be a happy "Li Bancheng" to a limited extent.

Besides, what if you are a fifth-generation director? What if you are proud of being Chinese? A great director like John Woo, who has no worries about food and drink, and who is attracted by girls, is being suppressed by others and using his past reputation to pave the way for those who come after him?

"Director, let's eat first and talk later. I'll go see if the food has arrived."

After Li Suan finished speaking, he left without even leaving a chance for Director Yang to ask questions. There was no other way. For Li Suan now, being able to control himself and not do evil was already the limit.

Because this circle, at this time, not only lacks technology, talent and market, but also has a bunch of jackals, tigers and leopards in power, as well as capitalism that has grown wantonly in the land of China.

Putting these things together will allow you to make great commercial blockbusters!

After enjoying the meal, Director Yang ordered two bottles of wine when he sent him back. Looking at the bottle of Maotai and the bottle of whiskey, Li Shuan knew that tonight would probably be another sleepless night.

.

He ran upstairs to say hello to Yang Mi, and Li Suan, who promised not to drink too much, went to the hotel customer service to get some anti-alcohol medicine, and then went to Director Yang's room.

The first experience with Yang Mi left a deep impression on him. Try not to ask others to sign that kind of contract for you.

After entering the house, Li Shuang took out Northeastern's generous and three-liang cups for the first time. He and Director Yang each had one. No one could accuse him of bullying.

"Director, how expensive are you this year?"

"Don't ask, you'll get angry."

Director Yang took the cup and started with white wine to warm his stomach, one cup per person: "Don't go anywhere today, the waiter will bring the beer to us later."

Despite Li's small stature, when it comes to drinking, he feels like he has lost his place as a Northeastern person.

"Director, please let me go."

"no way."

"why?"

"You have talent, keep drinking." Director Yang poured another glass of wine.

Li Shuan thought about it, and still felt that he had to tell the truth, otherwise he would hurt the old man's heart again: "Director, let's be honest, you think that if the three hard conditions of market, talent, and technology are met, we can

Did you make a good movie?"

In later generations, Chinese filmmakers also made attempts, such as hiring foreign teams, absorbing elites returning from the United States, and carrying out high film subsidies and continuous construction of theater chains.

It can be said that although the three hard conditions are not perfect, they are still barely up to standard.

But what’s the result?

"...Hiring a foreign team is not suitable for the local environment. Looking for those who have returned from the United States, they will look down on us who have not gone abroad. Let's talk about theater subsidies. How many of them are empty theaters to cheat the subsidies?

Cinema chain construction has been going on since 2001, and it has been 11 years. During the Domestic Protection Month, what was the real attendance rate? Is it true that the country invested so much money? How much of it was fake box office?

There are also money launderers, coal bosses, deceivers, smugglers...

Director, there are all these things. I don’t even need to ask, I can just ask. Are you still making movies like this? Let’s wait ten years. After ten years, I will know less.”

China actually has hard-working filmmakers, such as the Dumplings of "Nezha", Guo Fan of "The Wandering Earth", Liu Xunzimo of "Famous", and so on.

This nation really has no shortage of white lotuses that can grow out of the mud, but he, Li, doesn't want to copy them.

Maybe he still has some bones as a scholar. We can pry them off, but not the backbone. As for other things, making money, it's not shabby.

"You know nothing!"

Director Yang blushed, "You really don't understand anything! How big was our market a few decades ago, and how big is it now? Can you look at the problem from a development perspective?

Don’t just look at the box office hitting record highs every year. Twenty years ago, in the entire Chinese market, there was no one as big as the toes of Americans!

It’s only been twenty years, look at what we are like now? You don’t really think that the leaders above are all a bunch of idiots, do you?”

The key points of this paragraph were thought out at the beginning, and now they are even clearer. How should I put it? In the entertainment industry, the battle for ideological high ground is a battlefield without smoke and at an absolute disadvantage from the beginning. Our country subsidizes so much

More, in terms of importance, it is really far beyond your imagination.

The teacher is right. Look at the problem from the perspective of historical development. I think the perspective of practitioners in 2022 is the biggest golden finger I gave Li Suan. This book was not aimed at girls from the beginning, but

When I wrote about the girl, I fell into it. Sex made me faint, and I felt guilty.
