China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 89 Qin Zhonghe’s thoughts

"...I hope that all young directors can bring the seeds of the mature film industry back to China, inject new strength into our country's film industry, develop and create more commercial films that the people like to see, and achieve an improvement in the quantity and quality of domestic films.

, to promote the healthy and rapid development of China’s film industry.”

After the leaders of the film bureau finished speaking, it was the turn of six young directors who had studied abroad at public expense to take the stage to speak one by one.

Chen Jingxing had naturally prepared the manuscript long ago, and the contents of his speech were all clichés, which were nothing more than echoing the spirit of the leader's speech.

After all, this is not a place for interviews or media meetings, a place for boasting, or a place to express unique insights into commercial films. If you know so much about industrial films, why would you go to the United States to study?

After the meeting, Qin Zhonghe, chairman of Guoying Film Group, kept several people behind.

Qin Zhonghe is slightly thin and not burly, but he has a straight figure and cold eyes. He has an aura that is different from other studio bosses and exudes a military demeanor.

Chen Jingxing knew that Qin Zhonghe had indeed served in the army when he was young. It was said that he was still a company commander. While in the army, he showed some artistic talents and could play the suona and sing. After his recovery, he directly entered the National Film Studio.

Although Qin Zhonghe was slightly impressive, his tone was still very gentle: "Xiao Ning, you will be the squad leader this time. Although we have already communicated with Columbia and Universal, and we have accompanying personnel and translators, after all,

You are the directors, and you have the right to make changes to the specific itinerary. If you have any additional requirements during the visit and exchange, Xiaoning, you can directly mention it to Columbia and Universal. What they promised at the time was 'without reservation'.

Don't waste this opportunity.

Also, I’ve been thinking about it for the past few days, and I think it’s better to schedule your film “Beautiful Heart” on the National Day schedule. There is no gift film this year.”

Qin Zhonghe is still quite optimistic about Chen Jingxing. Many types of commercial films have emerged in China, but there is still a lack of films in the genres such as disaster and science fiction. Even if there is one, it will be unbearable to watch.

He has no hope at all for the fifth and sixth generation directors. They are too deeply influenced by the New Wave and have too strong auteur qualities. They are suitable for making literary films but not real industrial films.

Therefore, in his opinion, directors like Chen Jingxing who can make science fiction films at a high level are rare talents for Chinese films. Although the Chinese film market has been booming in recent years, it is even expected to become the world's best film director in a few years.

First, the box office share of domestic films is declining.

In 2012 it was 49% and in 2013 it was 48%.

As the main distributor of blockbusters, Qin Zhonghe naturally knows that the situation this year will be even more dire. The agreement signed two years ago will be fully implemented this year. The number of approved films and blockbusters will hit a new high, and many of them are

Heavyweight movie.

Chen Jingxing's heart skipped a beat, good guy, are you staring at me all the time?

Blockbusters with the main theme are no longer rare, but science fiction blockbusters with the main theme are of greater significance. He has not lacked such political achievements in his life, but he also hopes to use a powerful breakthrough to draw a more perfect end to his career, and the rest will be merit.

It’s time for anyone to comment.

Qin Zhonghe looked interested: "You just invested in a special effects studio to prepare for this movie? Is it a science fiction blockbuster?"

We must develop our own industrial films, especially science fiction, disaster, and war-type films. This time, he was the first to propose the idea of ​​sending outstanding filmmakers in batches to study and exchange in the United States.

If other companies are unwilling to invest, then National Film Group will invest. In terms of special effects, foreign companies can be hired to do it. Didn't "Tangshan Earthquake" just hire foreign companies? And "Tangshan Earthquake" was also a proposition he gave to Feng Xiaogang.

The composition is quite well done.

National Film Group also has a special effects company, and its level is among the best, of course, among domestic special effects companies.

Especially Chen Jingxing, his movies have gone abroad. In Qin Zhonghe's heart, Chen Jingxing already possesses the qualities of an excellent commercial director in Hollywood in terms of "softness". One film "Comet" may be said to be an accident, and two consecutive excellent films

Science fiction works are definitely capable, but the "hard" aspect is lacking, but the "hard" aspect can be borrowed from foreign technology.

He knows that if this continues, it will be difficult to maintain share by relying solely on the traditional three pillars: costume, comedy, and romance.

The motto that Qin Zhonghe summarized in the first half of his life is: If you don't push yourself, you will never know how strong you are.

Qin Zhonghe looked at Chen Jingxing with a surprised expression: "Has your movie been registered? Why am I not impressed?"

Directors like Ning Hao and Chen Jingxing are the seeds he is optimistic about who can compete head-on with Hollywood blockbusters in the future.

Among the major studios, the one who is most interested in commercial films and blockbusters is definitely Qin Zhonghe. He was the main promoter of China's commercial blockbuster era.

Regarding Chen Jingxing's denial, Qin Zhonghe showed a slightly disappointed look on his face: "You are right, you have to eat one bite at a time. At this stage, having a mature science fiction movie is already a breakthrough. Your movie

If you have any post-production special effects needs or problems that cannot be solved for the movie, you can call me and I will help you if I can."

Besides, leading commercial directors like Ning Hao and Chen Jingxing will definitely not be able to escape the fate of making propositional compositions in the future. It would be good for them to accumulate experience in making blockbusters with the main theme.

There was a trace of hesitation on Ning Hao's face and he glanced at Chen Jingxing: "Director Qin, Xiao Chen said that his movie has been scheduled for National Day."

"It is not a blockbuster, it can only be considered a medium-cost production. If we are making science fiction blockbusters at this stage, domestic production is still slightly lacking in all aspects."

"We have just started preparations and will be ready to start filming when we get back from the United States."

As the helmsman of the National Film Festival, Qin Zhonghe is like an old hen. On one side, he is talking about sharing accounts with Hollywood, while on the other side, he is trimming the domestic schedule, tossing and turning to protect his little ones.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhonghe has decided to wait for Chen Jingxing's new film to be completed, and then have a good chat with him to let him put aside his worries and make a science fiction blockbuster.

Qin Zhonghe is about to retire. As a witness to the reform of the Chinese film system and even a promoter of the era of commercial blockbusters, he is eager to see Chinese films take another step forward before retiring!

Chen Jingxing felt a little nervous when he was stared at by Qin Zhonghe. Although he didn't know how Qin Zhonghe was thinking about putting a burden on him, he still subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Qin Zhonghe pat him.

his shoulders.

"Xiao Chen, your new film needs to be scheduled for the National Day. I also want to schedule Xiao Ning's "Heart Blossoms on the Road" for the National Day. If you want "Heart Blossoms Release" to make way for you, send me the script and I'll read it.

Let’s talk about it later.” After that, he turned around and walked out of the venue.

Chen Jingxing was a little dumbfounded, but he quickly came to his senses. The financiers of DreamWorks such as Huanshi.com and Tianrun were probably crying in the toilet. Boss Qin's words clearly meant that he wanted to use "Signal"

The distribution rights have been changed to the National Day release.

But Chen Jingxing doesn't care. Anyway, DreamWorks doesn't have the distribution capability now. At this stage, it's just enough to be a producer. Whether it's a national film distribution or a fantasy world distribution, he can accept it. Besides, it's not good to have multiple fathers.
