Director’s Legend

"Someone has to ask. Now the tastes of the audience have changed. If we make a movie where our grandson and grandson are dependent on each other, the audience will not watch it even if we cry. Because you are only two people. A movie ticket, just watching an old man with a child, do I have a toothache?"

"Haha." There were bursts of laughter below, and someone thoughtfully.

"Therefore, many filmmakers say that the audience’s tastes are too heavy, and you have to watch nonsense blockbusters. Even if you have two people, you have to be similar in age and do things in the same room. For example, if you invite a friend, a man and a woman, We are not limited, if you tell your friends we will go to see the main melody, will your friends think you are sick? Because the main melody means not good-looking."

"This is indeed not a good phenomenon, because our audience cannot and should not hate the main theme. This society needs the main theme, and our next generation needs the main theme. We need Lei Feng, Jiao Yulu, and Sister Jiang, and we need the power of an example. Come to educate and inspire, so that we will not pollute ourselves in the dyeing tank of society. I also said in "High-end Interview" that the main theme should be more."

"In the past few years, I have indeed filmed a lot of themes, but why? Many directors have a very simple idea when filming the theme. I can get any prizes when I shoot, and I can get one million subsidies from the state and sell them to The movie channel got another one million, so it’s not at a loss. I’m at a loss for other films, I just get money for the main theme, right? So we are now facing the invasion of Hollywood blockbusters, and we ourselves The film is not up for grabs. It is the decline of domestic films that is covered by the box office growth.

Shao Shuaijun raised his eyes and looked at the way the students listened carefully, as well as the unpredictable expressions of the various filmmakers, licked his lips, and continued: "Think about it. I have a question on behalf of the directors. Reason? The audience likes to watch blockbuster films, so we naturally have to learn blockbusters. Just play the main theme and get money, why should I sculpt it carefully? Then the rest is talking about life, art and some inexplicable things."

"The directors are reasonable, and the analysis is in place, but is this just a way of fooling the audience? Because we don't know what we have to do to put Chinese films on the right track. Here we are. I walked, every year, except for those movies, the others are still losing money. Today, I pit an investor, and tomorrow I pit another investor. After pitting the investor, I will pit the movie theater. In the end, many domestic movies are even Good movies, the cinemas won’t show you anymore, they will all be changed to Hollywood movies!"

"Our film market has reformed. Our five generations of directors have explored commercial roads. We seem to have found a way to save Chinese films. We want to follow the big movies. We seem to have broken out of the domestic market and have begun to enter the world, winning frequently. . But looking back and looking at the road again, in addition to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero", "Source Code", "Painted Skin", which other movie we have made money overseas and made a lot of money? I walked and walked, thinking that I had walked out of the path of Chinese movies, but suddenly realized that in fact, we had been wandering around the door of our house and couldn't get out."

"We did nothing, we did nothing. Our so-called Chinese film succeeded, not one two director succeeded, one two film succeeded, we did not go out of our way. Because we did not let I have become rich from the bottom of my heart. No matter how glamorous we are, we are also a poor man! We have five thousand years of cultural heritage. We have to follow the tastes of foreigners when we make movies, and then we can take a little step forward. Take a step. Many of us filmmakers sneer at Hollywood, but we have seen that Hollywood movies have conquered the world."

"Our movies also have to follow the Hollywood method to get a little bit of soup. Many of our directors, I am also one. Why do we all go to Hollywood to make movies? Movies, why can only be successful in Hollywood, can you achieve worldwide appeal, can you prove yourself? Because the 200-year history of the United States is very splendid? Compared with our 5,000-year history, does the United States have history? Why is Hollywood right? The world carries out cultural output? We are the four ancient countries, papermaking, gunpowder, compass, and printing. We should be able to use our splendid culture to show the world, right?"

"But, we didn't do it. We closed the door and lied to ourselves." There was no sound in the audience, except for Shao Shuaijun's indignant language, "I can already think that after today's speech, there will be countless people coming tomorrow. Scold me. Say you Shao Shuaijun knows what a fart, what are you, why are you arguing about Chinese movies? Yes, I Shao Shuaijun is nothing, and the leaders, predecessors and colleagues who came to this ceremony today Compared to ours, I am a newcomer and a rookie who just entered the film industry. In fact, I am just an angry youth."

"I was thinking about being the little boy who said that the emperor was not wearing clothes, of course, maybe I was the emperor who was not wearing clothes, so I stood here silly and stupefied. You can help me see if I wear clothes. ?"

Three or two laughs, maybe the topic just now was too heavy.

Shao Shuaijun didn’t care either. Now that he started, he continued to say as he wanted to say: “I’ve been in the entertainment industry for five years. I’ve been lucky. I made a movie and made money. I have a relatively large company. Here, I’m talking nonsense. When I look into it carefully, I haven’t made any contribution to Chinese movies. Whether it’s "Source Code", "Painted Skin" or "Inception", they all go the way in Hollywood. I am also one of the people affected during the shooting, and I can't think of how we can solve it so that Chinese films can get on the right track as soon as possible."

"Where is the path of Chinese films? It is very heavy and very heavy. It is nonsense to say that foreign films have peacefully evolved for us. But we are made a lot of money by foreign films every year. This is undisputed. At least, we have not Earn money from foreign countries. The same problem has been encountered in Russia, in India, in the United Kingdom, in Italy, in Spain, and in these countries where the film industry is relatively developed, but they have various methods and countermeasures. "

"For example, when Russia could not restrain it, it canceled the film quota. It is very simple. American films can be imported. At most, 280 of the 320 films released a year are American films. Soon Russia The audience got bored and started to miss their Russian films again. Russian films have been recovering in the past two years, and they have also made their own blockbusters, which are very popular with Russian audiences."

"Indian films are very interesting. This is one of their pillar industries. I have recently produced a film in India. If you go to see the posters at the entrance of Indian cinemas, there is no introduction of the main actors, but the songs are introduced. Who dances, because there must be three songs and five dances in their movies."

The audience laughed. Indian films have begun to go international in recent years, and Chinese audiences are also familiar with them and know their style.

"This is a characteristic of Indian movies, and it is difficult for Hollywood movies to be displayed there. Hollywood has also thought of a way to co-produce movies with them, such as "India". The investment in co-production movies is very large, and Indian filmmakers are very smart They spent all the money, how did they spend it? It used to be 20 people dancing, now it’s changed to 200 people dancing."

"Hahahaha." Everyone laughed again.

"When I was filming, I also talked to the Chinese Ambassador to India. I asked him how much Hollywood movies have had a big impact on India? He said there was no impact. Indians don't like to watch them. Indians like to watch Indian movies. And in the past two years, many Indian and Pakistani movies have been sold to the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries, making a lot of money. You can see this. Russians love to watch Russian movies, and Indians love to watch Indian movies. Doesn't it make sense that Chinese people only like to watch Hollywood movies?"

"In fact, many of the Hollywood movies we watch are also American themed movies. There is no reason why you should not watch the main theme of China. You go to see the theme of foreign countries? But the real situation is like this. There are some domestic films that have landed in the United States. But it’s very difficult. Our film is sold and even the editing rights are gone. American filmmakers are going to edit, and they will disrupt you and ravage them. It will be a hundred thousand miles away and then released. Why would it be? So? Because they despise us, they don’t believe that our films can be sold. In Hollywood, in the United States, how many Chinese directors have editing rights? Li Yu, Wu Yusen, Zhang Yimou and me, except for the four of us , Is there any more? No more."

"Sometimes I really feel sad, why can't our movies develop? We have an audience of more than one billion people, we have five thousand years of history, we can’t make movies, but we can’t make movies. Very good. What is meant by "making a movie is good"? It means that our movies are not good, but the TV shows that are related to movies are good."

"Because there are too many things in the filming process, there are scandals, fights, role changes, strikes, salary increases, director changes... There are all kinds of things. Some are planned by the crew, There are some things that the crew can’t solve. The pay of stars is getting higher and higher, and the acting skills are still the same. Every big movie shooting is like a big gossip. There will be countless news in it, so that everyone can speculate. These Blockbuster movies will spare no effort to create a premiere, usually the impact of the premiere is much greater than the impact of the movie itself. The experience of making a movie is much more complicated than the plot of the movie. This is the current situation of Chinese movies."

Shao Shuaijun was silent for ten seconds before exhaling a foul breath: "I said this, maybe you are going to ask from the bottom, today is the entrance ceremony of the new electrical technology institute freshmen, what are you doing so far? I said that I was about China. Movies don’t make much contribution. I do not have enough energy to change the status quo of Chinese movies. I think I should try to understand Chinese movies, and then find a group of like-minded people to work together for the rise of Chinese movies."

"Didn’t the martial arts practitioners say one thing, that is, they want to practice their muscles and bones outside and take a breath inside. From my simple point of view, can Chinese movies also be classified as bones and bones and a breath? So we established it first. The Chinese Youth Avant-Garde Directors League, to find potential young directors and avant-garde directors. This can be called a breath of practice in movies. I don’t know what is the breath of Chinese movies, but I hope to be in the Youth League. In the process of digging, we can see such a breath in more and more young pioneer directors."

"Teaching people how to fish is not as good as teaching people how to fish. No matter how many classic movies we have left, it is better for more Chinese directors to make classic movies. It is more important to the development of Chinese movies. The Youth League is such a platform. …So what is the bones and bones, you all know that the packaging of movies is the bones and bones, and the special effects and new technologies are the bones and bones. I invested in the establishment of the Dream Chasing New Film Technology Research Institute to temper the bones and bones of Chinese movies. ."

"I hope that from here, a group of top special effects talents, top photography talents and technical talents can be produced. I also hope that the students and students who go out from here can use the technology here to serve Chinese films. We don't need it. In the pursuit of surpassing Hollywood in a few years, we only need to do a solid job of ourselves, and to improve, develop and pass on the technology, which achieves the goal of bones and bones."

"Today, a lot of leaders and filmmakers came, and our Prime Minister also made a special trip to come over. The country is paying more and more attention to the film industry. We do not expect to be here. We are chasing dreams and new electronic technology. How much have we done for the film industry? How much contribution. I hope that in ten or twenty years, Chinese filmmakers will look back at this place and nod and say, "Oh, here, it used to be the technological source of Chinese films, and a group of outstanding filmmakers have come out." What can be more satisfying than this?"

With a smile on his face, Shao Shuaijun said loudly: "My speech is over here. Finally, I want to add a picture of Mr. Zhang Xianliang's gift to me. , There must be tenacity. "On the road of the movie, thorns are so dense that they will destroy us at any time. When you are tired, think about this sentence, it will let you know yourself more clearly, Thank you."

Bend down and bowed, walked back to the podium, took a drink, and there was a short silence.

then.

Wow, thunderous applause, endless. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
