The sudden appearance of Brother Yuan left Nortel teachers and students speechless for a moment.
But part of it becomes thoughtful. Cultural hooligans, are they also people from the cultural circle? Come to make movies? It barely makes sense.
There are other people who don’t care at all. Who is Brother Yuan? It’s none of my business!
Still, a girl asked the question they were most concerned about: "Mr. Li, can you introduce the latest development of overseas films? Especially the situation in Hollywood and Hong Kong? Thank you."
"I can't say that! Let's discuss it with each other." Li Yuan said modestly. In fact, he knew the future development very well. After all, he had been in charge of the film and television projects in the factory in his previous life, so he still had a certain understanding of the development direction of the film.
.
"I wonder if you have seen the Hollywood movie two years ago - "Terminator 2"? In fact, starting from this movie, it heralded that the film industry has entered a new era. I personally call it digital technology
Revolution. Yes! This is a revolution in the history of film development, which will bring about earth-shaking changes in film. This is just like what happened before, when sound films replaced silent films, and color films replaced black and white films. In terms of equipment, in terms of service,
In terms of beauty, shooting skills, and creation, it will become completely different."
"Boom——!" The whole audience was in an uproar.
These teachers and students never expected that Li Yuan would drop such shocking information right from the beginning. They could not tell for a moment whether this would really happen? Or was Li Yuan just trying to please others and making shocking remarks?
You know, that is not a small improvement, but a subversive revolution? Is it really that exaggerated?
An old professor was also shocked: "Director Li, can you give us some specific information?"
"I made certain inferences based on known conditions. Isn't it guaranteed to be completely correct?"
"It doesn't matter. Let's brainstorm and discuss with each other!" After a moment of pause, the old professor added, "This is the first time I've heard of your statement, so we want to know more about it here."
Li Yuan smiled slightly. At present, these things are indeed relatively advanced. But as long as "Jurassic Park" takes over the world in the middle of the year, they will all know the huge power of special effects blockbusters.
"Of course. It's very simple - whoever occupies the commanding heights of digital technology can dominate the world!"
"You mean Hollywood?"
"Yes! It's Hollywood. To be more precise, it's a Hollywood special effects blockbuster."
“What about movies from other regions?”
"Comprehensive defeat. Including Europe and Hong Kong. Hmm... maybe it will enter a very long cold winter period."
After all, Li Yuan is not from the film and television industry, otherwise he would be more or less reserved. Here, he unconsciously took on the identity of an Internet programmer and saw the impact of digital technology on traditional movies.
Struggling hard and panting again and again, it’s so secretly satisfying!
However, the people at the scene did not notice Li Yuan's bad taste. They only heard those callous words. The whole audience was in an uproar again: mmp! Even Europe and Hong Kong have entered a cold period? Then can our mainland survive? What we learned
What's the use of these things? They're all so damn cute!
The old professor's face was also livid. However, he was still very restrained: "Director Li, can you tell me more specifically?"
"There is no doubt that film art is an audio-visual art. Since digital technology has revolutionized the audio-visual field, film production will also have a corresponding revolution. We all know that digital technology is quite expensive. Not only is the equipment expensive, but it is also professional
The salary level of talents is also quite high. Therefore, in special effects blockbusters, there is a trend of large investment and high box office..."
"And the extensive use of special effects can effectively break market boundaries. The most obvious example: We Easterners like to watch movies starring Easterners, and Westerners like to watch movies starring Westerners. We all have a natural affinity for our own race.
But special effects blockbusters are completely different. For example, the "Terminator 2" mentioned above. The protagonists are two robots. Of course, the robots are played by actors. But to the audience, what do the robots have?
What’s the difference?…”
"Because of this kind of technological crushing, traditional films can only shrink to a few niche areas. Of course, there is not no room for survival, but the room for survival will certainly not be very large..."
"Finally, there is the industrial structure. The original industrial structure of the film industry will be completely broken. I am not afraid of saying anything ugly here. Many of the practitioners in some traditional films will be eliminated by the times. But some will rise to the occasion and become the leaders of the times.
Trendsetters. It depends on whether you can adapt? Maybe your graduation from college is not the end, but just the beginning. You need to continue learning every moment. Hahaha..."
"..."
Li Yuan once again unconsciously displayed the hateful face of an IT otaku. He looked down at all the living beings below with a condescending look.
But there’s nothing wrong with that. In my last life, major Internet companies had almost integrated the entire entertainment industry and almost turned it into a sub-industry of their own. This is already my son’s, so isn’t that condescending?
Although the old professor and others felt uncomfortable with these words, they did not refute them. In any case, the logic is still self-consistent. If digital technology does bring about a revolution, these situations will happen sooner or later.
However, many students below could not sit still. Not to mention the arrogance of college students, in this young literary generation, filmmakers themselves feel that they are superior to others, and they actually say that they will be eliminated?
Is there a saying mmp that should be said rightly?
"Mr. Li, I admit that society is developing and science and technology are also developing. But are your words a bit alarmist?" A strong young man stood up and asked.
"It's up to you to believe it or not. Anyway, after five years... no, it won't take five years at all. If you look at it in three years, you can see - what it means to be in mourning."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I just heard you say that you don't even like Hong Kong movies? Is that true?"
"That's true. Note: I'm talking about the industry, not a certain work."
"What about Hong Kong's kung fu movies? Aren't they very popular abroad?"
"Kung Fu movies will be integrated into blockbusters with special effects. Just like the earliest Kung Fu movies by Shaw Brothers, they featured hard bridges, hard horses, and real kung fu, but now they have been eliminated and turned into Lavia, which is special effects on hanging wires. There will be more advanced ones in the future.
Special effects technology replacement, such as green screen shooting, etc.”
"What about art films? What do you think of the New Wave?"
"Art films are a niche category. As I said just now, there will be a certain specific market. But the market capacity is very small."
"Director Li, since you are not optimistic about the future of movies, why did your Metaverse come to our school? Do you want to start a new co-production project?"
The whole audience burst into laughter.
Looking at the sharp-tongued female voice, Li Yuan was stunned. Isn't this Jiang Wenli? He didn't expect that Jiang Wenli in her student days was indeed very juicy and as crisp as a young onion.
Li Yuan has always had a good temper when it comes to beautiful women. He smiled and said: "Just because I am not optimistic about it, I have to start more projects? Since you want to survive the cold winter, you should try your best to do your best. You can't just lie flat."
Right? You filmmakers also need to eat, right?"
The whole audience laughed. The atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
"Teacher Li, I am a student in the performance department. I would like to ask you a question. If what you say is true, what do we students in the performance department need to prepare in advance?"
Another beautiful woman. Li Yuan recalled for a moment, isn't this the Xiang Fei in "Returning the Pearl"? This Liu Dan is a pity. She only just became famous in "Returning the Pearl 2", but she didn't expect that she would soon become famous because of "Returning the Pearl 2"
Did the car accident destroy the beauty?
Here is a reminder, whether driving or riding in a car, it is very important to fasten your seat belt!
Li Yuan said: "The changes in performance are not big, it is mainly a revolution in technology. Relatively speaking, the difficulty of performance has even been reduced a lot. For example, with digital camera technology, there is no need for film or video tapes, and you can shoot repeatedly
, played repeatedly. Since it can be deleted, there is no waste at all. It allows your actors to perform repeatedly until they are satisfied. This is also very beneficial to directors or photographers. They are not afraid of bad shots and can be shot over and over again.
There is no need to consider the cost of film. There is also the green screen mentioned earlier. Some more dangerous shots can be synthesized through the green screen. This is also very beneficial to the safety of the actors. Of course, good acting skills are good acting skills, and what is a good actor?
All times are needed.”
At this time, another beautiful girl popped up: "Teacher Li, can we participate in your company's movie?"
Another "old acquaintance", the big star Jiang Qinqin whom I met in my previous life. The Sichuan girl is indeed bold and bold.
The whole audience burst into laughter again. Li Yuan said with a smile: "You are definitely welcome. The three projects mentioned above will all start filming within this year. Students are welcome to come and audition."
"Then we agreed, are you going to open the back door for us?"
Li Yuan couldn't help but smile. This sentence makes people think a lot, huh?
"Okay! Come over when the time comes and we will try our best to make arrangements."
Maybe a group of acting students were sitting together, and it looked particularly pleasing to the eye. Li Yuan was so overwhelmed that he couldn't help but agree to it.
Huh? There is also Mr. Huang Lei Huang there? In addition to being an actor, he was also a very responsible teacher. He has taken the initiative to launch many film and television drama projects.
Who is that person in the corner? Looking at that face, it is Jiang Wen...'s brother, Teacher Jiang Wu. He looks like he has not woken up.
In fact, Jiang Wu's acting skills are also superb, but his brother is so brilliant that Jiang Wu has been living in a huge shadow.
"Teacher Li, are you really Brother Yuan? Do you have anything to say about the claims of outside cultural hooligans?"
"Haha. I call this kind of incompetent rage."
"Then how did you come up with the idea of making a movie?"
"So, I'm very busy? I have no interest in bickering with them. While they are still struggling with my choice of words and sentences, bro, I'm already filming a movie."
"Hahaha……"
"..."
…
The report will be very successful.
After leaving the company's contact address, Li Yuan declined a party invitation from a group of beautiful girls, and left Nortel's campus gracefully under the murderous gaze of the janitor.
"Mr. Li, now I believe it, you just want to take pictures of your mother-in-law." Yan Qing lit up his cigarette, looking like an old-timer in the capital.
"Huh?" Li Yuan was shocked. This Charles in front of him could actually read minds? Come on! Brother, I was just thinking about it in my heart? How can anyone bear it when there are so many goddess-level beauties around him?
"Aren't we just a group of beer sellers? Why are we talking about high-tech movies? We scared those college students half to death. But I know this trick. Say something you don't even understand to attract the admiration of female college students. Hook your fingers.
Just fucking go to bed."
"Bah!" Li Yuan scolded with a smile, "You, a grandson who depends on your face for a living, still have the nerve to tell me tricks?"
"Then brother, I will teach you a trick. Let's not really go take pictures and just keep hanging them..."
"Damn it! Brother Qing, we are really making a movie!"
Yan Qing squinted: "Mr. Li, do you think I don't know how to make movies? I had several friends at the Beijing Film Studio, and I often went there to play when I was a child. You have nothing here, not a studio, not even a studio
You don’t even have a camera? You told me to make a movie? It’s better to come up with a script and let others shoot it. Don’t you have that metaverse in Hong Kong? Anyway, Hong Kong people have money, let them shoot it!”
Li Yuan was speechless. That's what Yan Qing said. Now it's not even a grass-roots team. At least a grass-roots team is still a team, and there is nothing around him.
"Brother Qing, I'm just trying to contact Beijing Film Studio. I just want to co-produce a film with them."
"Actually, Baisha Factory is also pretty good, isn't it?" Wu Yong'an on the side interjected, "We were in Wangjiang Tower at that time. Wasn't it Baisha Factory that was filming movies?"
"Okay! It's all okay!" Li Yuan doesn't care which film studio he co-produces with. But he really needs to hurry up on this matter and contact him as soon as the Spring Festival is over.
However, at this moment, a person from the side suddenly came over and said: "Little comrade, oh, and this foreign comrade, are you preparing to make a movie?"
"What's going on?" Seeing that the man was in his early thirties, short and stocky, and dressed like a township entrepreneur, Li Yuan felt a little baffled.
Is the artistic atmosphere here in Beijing that strong? I met a random person on the roadside and asked about "making movies"?
With a smile on his face, the man handed over his business card: "My surname is Du, and I do some small business in my hometown. I heard you talking just now. It seems that you want to make a movie? What about Hong Kong?"
"Ah!" Li Yuan nodded. He glanced at the business card and saw that the person's name was Du Rusong. He was even more confused.
"Is your movie short of money? Do you need my investment?"
(⊙?⊙)(⊙?⊙)(⊙?⊙)
Li Yuan felt that he couldn't understand the world. There was such a thing. When he heard "making a movie", it seemed that his keywords were triggered, and he came over to give money while crying?
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Li Yuan's mind. He suddenly asked: "Boss Du, what's your business?"
"Haha. It's a small business, not worth mentioning. It's just mining and selling coal. Hahaha..."
