Entertainment, I just like making movies

Chapter 147: Relying on literary films to compete with Hollywood blockbusters?

All eyes turned to Fang Ziheng.

There are differences, encouragement, disdain, and recognition.

Different looks came from major film and television bosses, and encouraging looks came from the old artists ahead.

As for disdain, except for Zhang Weiping, a guy who dissatisfied everyone, there is also a sixth-generation director Jia Zhangke!

Fang Ziheng stood up and straightened the long microphone on the table while quickly thinking about what to say.

no way!

The leader has called your name. Even if you don’t want to say anything, you have to say something at this moment.

I thought about it for a while!

Fang Ziheng looked around, finally looked at the rostrum, and began to humble himself: "Since the leader has called his name, let me start by offering some advice. All of you here are my seniors. If anything is wrong, please forgive me."

After finishing his opening remarks, he paused for two or three seconds, switched to a serious tone, and said loudly: "When it comes to the development of Chinese-language films, we have to mention three foundations!"

"The first foundation is our country's film market!"

"The second foundation is the creative direction of our filmmakers!"

"The third foundation is the industrial technology of our Chinese-language films!"

As soon as the three basics came out, the expressions of everyone in the meeting suddenly changed.

He is indeed a young man!

This is the first time they have encountered such a straightforward dissection of a Chinese-language film.

"As we all know, our country has a large movie-going group. As the country's economy booms, the size of the film market will only grow stronger, and the annual total box office is higher and higher!"

"As far as film development is concerned, the first foundation is being gradually completed and the standards are gradually being met!"

Following Fang Ziheng's words, everyone couldn't help but nod.

Entering 2010, the film market is even more booming than last year. The mere entry of Wanda into the market speaks volumes.

As the market expands, investors from other industries will also turn their attention to the film industry.

Just like the coal boss, he has too much money and has to find a place to spend it.

Everyone knew the first foundation, smiled knowingly, and looked at Fang Ziheng.

Wait for him to interpret the second foundation!

Without making everyone wait any longer, Fang Ziheng continued: "The second foundation is the creative direction. This is a very critical point."

"To expand the movie market, we must match the release of suitable movies. To be more precise, there must be enough high-quality movies released to attract audiences into the cinema, thereby meeting the audience's viewing requirements and expectations!"

Speaking of this, Fang Ziheng glanced at the directors and film and television company CEOs and smiled faintly: ""Tang Detective" can exceed 600 million, and "Avatar", a 3D special effects blockbuster, can hit 1.3 billion, what does it mean?

It shows that the capacity of the market can already produce a movie with a box office of 600 to 1 billion, which shows that the market welcomes high-quality commercial movies! "

"So, film commercialization is a trend and does not depend on personal will!"

After finishing this paragraph, Fang Ziheng stopped!

He knew that as soon as he said this, someone would definitely refute it.

really

Zhang Weiping and Jia Zhangke raised their hands.

"Do you two have any questions?"

Fang Ziheng looked calm and made a gesture of invitation.

Jia Zhangke stood up quickly, stared at Fang Ziheng with burning eyes, and said in a bad tone: "Director Fang, what do you mean by this? Do you want to say that we should give up literary films and focus on commercial films?"

"Everyone, the movie market is growing, the box office of movies is high, and the spring of literary and artistic movies is coming. This is the luck of us filmmakers."

"At this time, we should support literary and artistic films instead of getting into the stench of money, focusing only on making money, and just want to use the power of movies to become bloody capitalists!"

Jia Zhangke's angry words echoed throughout the multi-functional conference room.

Many respected old artists present were shocked.

yes!

The prosperity of the film market is not an opportunity for literary and artistic films!

In the past, the reason why literary and artistic films went abroad for selection was not only because of their high quality, but also because of the lack of domestic moviegoers.

No one watched commercial movies at that time, let alone "boring" art movies.

But now, the market is bigger and there are more movie-watching groups!

Judging from the production budget of literary and artistic films, a box office of RMB 20 to RMB 30 million is enough to recoup the cost.

If there is policy support, more investors will definitely be willing to invest in artistic films.

Filmmaker!

In other words, when directors and editors entered the film industry, they all had literary and artistic dreams.

In addition to the older generation of artists, Chen Daren, Zhang Yimou, and several directors who have made achievements in literary and artistic films also shined.

Jia Zhangke's words were deep in their hearts!

However, everyone did not speak, but continued to look at Fang Ziheng.

After all, creative direction was the basic standard he proposed. Since the rightful owner hadn't spoken yet, it was natural for them not to interfere too much.

The corners of Zhang Weiping's mouth raised, and a hint of strong disdain flashed through his eyes.

Tsk tsk

Fang Ziheng is still too young after all.

To actually take the lead in attacking literary and artistic films on such an occasion, I really think Jia Zhangke and those old guys are vegetarians.

He made up his mind that he would help Jia Zhangke later and teach young people how to respect their seniors.

Faced with doubts, Fang Ziheng was not anxious and still wore a calm smile.

After Jia Zhangke sat down and everyone calmed down, he flicked the microphone and began to speak again.

"I can understand what Director Jia said!"

"The continued prosperity of the film market not only gives commercial films a broader space, but also brings new hope to literary and artistic films!"

"but!"

Fang Ziheng put his hands on the table, his tone suddenly became a little higher, and he stared at Jia Zhangke and said: "Let's not forget that the Chinese film market does not only have two major categories: commercial films and literary films!

We still have an opponent, a very powerful opponent! "

"Jia Dao, I understand your idea of ​​revitalizing literary and artistic films, but I want to ask you, in the face of the menacing Hollywood blockbusters, what can we do to fight against it, or should we surrender?"

Fang Ziheng said this very seriously!

Just point your nose in and scold Jia Zhangke, why the hell can you win an award yourself? Of course you advocate the development of literary and artistic films. You don’t want the domestic market anyway. Whether domestic films live or die is of course none of your business.

Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian and other film and television company executives nodded in unison and firmly supported the commercialization of domestic films.

On the rostrum, several leaders were also discussing with each other.

Many top actors, such as Uncle Dao Ming, Uncle Bao Guo, and teacher Li Xuejian unconsciously nodded in agreement.

After the WTO was reopened last year, the quota for imported films has increased again and again, with foreign films being released almost every month.

In this case, how to defend the local market is the first priority.

Fang Ziheng's words continued. This time he not only targeted Jia Zhangke, but also dragged Lao Mouzi and Chen Daren into the water.

"In the Chinese film industry, Director Jia, Director Zhang, Director Chen, as well as Director Wang Jiawei and Director Xu Anhua from Hong Kong Island, you five are representatives of literary and artistic films, and you have all achieved remarkable achievements!"

"There are three directors here today. I would like to ask these three, do you think literary and artistic films alone can resist foreign films and the invasion of Hollywood special effects blockbusters?"
