After explaining the affairs in the company, Liu Hao returned to the Chinese Drama Theater and returned to his short-term campus life.
"You kid, this semester, your time on leave is longer than your time in school. Have you forgotten your identity as a student..."
In the office, Teacher Chang Li lectured with a straight face.
There were only teachers Liu Hao and Chang Li in the office. Liu Hao made a cup of tea for Teacher Chang, "Teacher Chang, please calm down first..."
Liu Hao's expression looked a little aggrieved, "Teacher, I don't want to be like this, but things have been concentrated in the past six months, and we can't delay it any longer. There is nothing we can do..."
"Quickly put away your performance..." Teacher Chang Li rolled her eyes. She was not really angry in the first place. Seeing Liu Hao's sincere attitude, her dissatisfaction eased a lot.
Finding fault: "Your emotions are not in place, your expressions are exaggerated and artificial, and you haven't made much progress in your performance for so long..."
"Why don't I go back to school to enrich myself whenever I have time..." Liu Hao said with a smile.
Liu Hao raised his right hand upwards and said with a slight seriousness: "Teacher, I swear, I haven't missed any homework in school. I also do morning classes almost every day, and I also asked the teacher to make up for the lessons..."
Although Liu Hao didn't have much time to go to school to attend classes, he asked someone to take video tapes of the important courses and did not miss them.
Zeng Li was always among the top three in her class. Liu Hao often asked her if he had any questions about his studies.
Also, I often do role-playing with Teacher Zeng Li, which can be regarded as supplementary lessons, hehe...
Seeing Liu Hao's respect for his teacher, Teacher Chang Li did not say any more words of blame. After all, she had promised Liu Hao these "privileges" when fighting for Liu Hao with Nortel.
The cause sown in the beginning will have the fruit today.
Teacher Chang Li shook her head and smiled bitterly, then asked: "Your film and television company is currently preparing a TV series called "Oolong Love". I heard that all the restless guys in the class went to audition.
, you refused in the end?"
Liu Hao thought that Teacher Chang Li was seeking "justice" for them when she said this, so he replied with some embarrassment: "That's what happened..."
"Those guys have made a TV series. They are all self-righteous. They don't attend classes well and don't do morning classes. They only try to audition for movies..."
"Love Through Time" became a big hit after it was aired, and the students of Class 96 of China National Drama Theater began to be upset again. Even if the school issued a notice of criticism and a suspension of classes, many people could not calm down and calm down the school. This caused teacher Chang Li
A lot of pressure.
Except for Liu Hao and Mei Ting who are filming outside, all other students are in school now. Teacher Chang Li now strictly prohibits them from going out to film privately.
As a result, one time after Teacher Chang Li finished class, none of the students left. They negotiated with Teacher Chang Li in order to go out for filming.
Liu Hao heard Zeng Li mention this, and she was also "coerced" by other classmates at that time.
What was the final result? These students were not Liu Hao. Teacher Chang Li refused to take the hard way, so they were naturally rejected.
Teacher Chang Li patted Liu Hao on the shoulder and said with a satisfied smile: "You refused very well..."
Liu Hao was dumbfounded. She refused to let her classmates participate in the TV series just because one of the heroines was Gao Yuanyuan to avoid some trouble.
Teacher Chang Li also understood this reason and said that these are just steps.
Teacher Chang Li took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Liu Hao, "This is your sketch topic for the final exam. You have rehearsed well these days. If you do not perform well, I will not be lenient and will never let you pass."
....."
"clear!"
Liu Hao straightened his body and made a salute, then left the office with a smile.
Going back to China Theater to take the final exam is just a matter of going through the process, and the possibility of not passing is almost non-existent.
However, Liu Hao still wants to study hard, rehearse seriously, and pass the final exam based on his ability.
After getting the test questions for the final exam sketch, Liu Hao immediately called the company's screenwriters and asked them to help write the script. Liu Hao didn't have much time to waste on writing the script now.
In less than half a day, Liu Hao got the script of the sketch. After checking it with teacher Chang Li, it was OK. Liu Hao started preparing to rehearse the sketch.
This is a four-person sketch that requires three actors besides Liu Hao, so Liu Hao asked three people in his class to help.
Naturally, the classmates in the class were very willing to help. After Liu Hao thought about it, in addition to Zeng Li, he found two other people, one was Chen Minghao from his dormitory, and the other was Zhang Tong from Ningwai.
Why choose them? Because they have good grades in the class, and Zhang Tong is currently the first in the class.
I went back to the Chinese Opera to study for two or three days, and the "Love Through Time" broadcast on Beijing TV came to an end. The finale ended perfectly with the highest ratings of 70%.
The students of Class 96 of the Chinese Theater Academy gathered in Liu Hao’s courtyard to watch the finale of the TV series.
After spending two or three days together, everyone found that Liu Hao still didn't have the airs of a big star, and was still the "affable" classmate Liu.
"Classmate Liu Hao, when the TV series was finalized, you were not present and everyone had a very unhappy ending banquet. Now that the TV series is a great success, should you hold another celebration banquet to compensate everyone..."
The bold Hu Jing took the opportunity to encourage, and everyone followed suit.
Liu Hao smiled and agreed: "This is no problem."
Everyone immediately became excited and cheered. During this period of time, Teacher Chang Li was pressuring them to go to school. The school was really boring, and they also wanted to relieve the pressure.
Hu Jing waved her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and asked with a smile: "The TV series is so successful, everyone has to work hard without any credit. The other crew will definitely give out red envelopes, I wonder if we have any?"
Hearing this question, Liu Hao pretended to have difficulty making a decision, which immediately caused some students to start half-jokingly: "Capitalist Liu, don't be so grandet..."
Liu Hao laughed loudly and said loudly: "There is no problem with this. I will send red envelopes to everyone at the celebration banquet. How much is it? Now it is a surprise..."
Liu Hao's words immediately aroused even greater cheers.
Several of Liu Huohua's bad friends exchanged glances, and several of his male classmates chuckled and approached Liu Hao.
Liu Hao didn't know their plan, so he quickly stopped and shouted: "If you abandon me, your red envelope will be gone!"
Liu Huohua and others were immediately embarrassed and at a loss. The girls in the class also covered their mouths and snickered.
Tian Zheng was quick to think, sneaked up to Zeng Li, and pushed Zeng Li into Liu Hao's arms.
Liu Hao received it securely, with the beauty in his arms. Liu Hao could not help but hug Zeng Li tighter, and cursed with a smile: "Tian Zheng, you kid, I look at you as the most sanctimonious person on weekdays. I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. Bonus
double!"
“Is sanctimonious a compliment?…”
Everyone laughed even more happily, with thunderous laughter. Looking at Zeng Li in Liu Hao's arms, Hu Jing curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and Zhang Tong smiled reluctantly.
He covered his mouth so no one noticed.
When everyone was discussing where to go to celebrate and kill Liu Hao, Liu Hao's cell phone rang.
It was a call from Brother Liu Hao.
After the call was answered, Brother Liu Hao told Mr. Han from Beijing Film Studio that he had time today and wanted to meet Liu Hao.
After writing down the time and place, Liu Hao briefly explained the situation to everyone. After saying goodbye, he returned to the courtyard, changed into formal clothes, and hurried to the appointed place.
It was in the reception room of a star-rated hotel. Liu Hao arrived first. Before long, his eldest brother accompanied Han Sanye Shanshan.
Mr. Han is now the director of Beijing Film Studio, and the eldest brother Liu Hao is still the nominal director of Beijing Film Studio. Liu Hao's father was also the art director of Beijing Film Studio before he started his own business, so there is some connection.
"What a terrible young man. Jianguo is so lucky to have you two good sons..."
"Isn't this all thanks to your cultivation, Mr. Han..."
After exchanging a few polite words and narrowing the distance, Mr. Han gradually entered the topic and began to ask:
"I wonder what you think of the current mainland film market?"
Before the film reform started in 1992, the policy of "unified purchase and sales" of films was still implemented.
At that time, only major film studios had film production rights in the mainland, and distribution and screening were managed by other government units.
Major film studios do not have distribution rights, which means they do not have to face market pressure. They only need to produce movies according to quotas and then buy the copies to the corresponding distribution units.
Without market pressure, there was no need to cater to the tastes of the audience. The films produced by film practitioners at that time were almost all literary and artistic films with a personal style, and few had commercial attributes.
Movies that are separated from the audience will naturally not be bought by the audience. Coupled with the competition brought about by the gradual popularization of televisions and the rich entertainment life, the box office and the number of moviegoers have plummeted.
In 1993, the film market began to reform, and distribution rights were decentralized. The major film studios had to rely on their own distribution. Without the guarantee of distribution, almost every film had to pay compensation, and the cost of the film remained high. In the end, the compensation was not enough to complete the annual production.
production indicators.
There is no other way but to open up private capital to enter the film market. However, private capital never has independent production rights and must be affiliated with film studios in various places.
This was the case for the first film produced by Liu Hao Film and Television Company, which was affiliated with Beijing Film Studio.
Facing Mr. Han's question, Liu Hao fell into thinking and gave his understanding.
"The mainland's film market is recovering, but on the surface it is still in a sluggish state. Many people think that the current film market environment is not good, but I don't think that is the case..."
Liu Hao smiled and asked first: "Master Han, let me ask you a question. If there was no boy, would you believe that a popular music record could sell more than three million copies in mainland China?"
Mr. Han smiled and shook his head, "Although I don't know much about the music market, I wouldn't have believed it until you showed up..."
You must know that before Liu Hao made his debut, that is, in 1996, Wanwan was always regarded as the largest music market for Chinese-language records.
How big can the largest music market be? It is the genuine sales volume of Zhang Xueyou's "Kiss Goodbye" in Wanwan - 1.36 million copies.
At that time, the mainland music market had not fully realized its potential and was not as good as it was.
But now, many popular singers' official albums have sold over one million copies in the mainland. Not to mention Liu Hao, Ren Xianqi's "Heart Is Too Soft" this year has sold more than one million official copies in the mainland.
1.5 million.
Liu Hao followed Master Han's words and said, "Actually, if the facts weren't in front of me, I wouldn't believe it..."
Liu Hao continued: "I have always believed that the market is determined by the economy. Since the reform and opening up, the country has been changing with each passing day, and economic development has reached a level every year. Under such circumstances, the market should also develop at a high speed, and the market potential is greater than ours.
It's even bigger than I imagined...
Now the mainland music market has proven this potential, and I think the same should be true for the film market..."
Mr. Han gave Liu Hao a meaningful look and began to ask: "Then why can't our film market show the same potential as the music market..."
"Because our film market cannot provide high-quality works to the public like the music market..."
As soon as Liu Hao said these words, Mr. Han frowned. Liu Hao quickly said: "The high-quality works I am talking about refer to movies that meet the audience's taste and are liked by the audience..."
Liu Hao continued to explain: "The movies that audiences like are commercial movies like Hong Kong movies, not the literary and artistic movies produced by our mainland filmmakers..."
Not to mention the imported commercial blockbusters from Hong Kong, which have a much higher box office than mainland movies, the rental of DVDs and video tapes of Hong Kong movies is also very popular.
"I'm not saying that literary and artistic films are not as good as commercial films. In fact, when I was a student at China National Theater Academy, I was exposed to a lot of high-quality literary and artistic films from the Mainland, and I also liked many of them.
But just because I like it doesn't mean the audience will like it...
Literary movies and commercial movies are like the difference between the Snow in the Spring and the Lower Riba People.
Yangchunbaixue means that the music is high-spirited and not very happy, and not many people like it. The current audience still prefers low-level things...
Today's audiences are no longer as hungry for entertainment as they used to be. It is not necessary to go to the cinema to watch movies. If we want to attract the audience to the cinema, we must produce movies they like. Mainland movies should also be more commercialized.
develop...."
Mr. Han looked at Liu Hao in disbelief. He suddenly patted Liu Hao on the shoulder and burst into laughter.
"It's true that heroes think alike. In fact, I should do the same!"
Although Han Sanping is smiling on his face, he is very bitter in his heart. This truth is actually very simple. Many people understand this truth, but even if they understand it, how many people are willing to change it.
Most people are still stuck in their ways, and the vast majority of mainland filmmakers are still making bitter and difficult-to-understand literary films.
Audiences don't like these literary and artistic films, so in order to retain the audience, they have to import commercial films from Hong Kong and American blockbusters, which has also led to a skyrocketing number of imported films.
Gradually, audiences are becoming more inclined to watch imported movies.
Under such a market impact, the living space of mainland films has been severely squeezed. About seven or eight out of ten films produced were losses.
Why is it so difficult to attract investment in making movies now? It’s because making movies now is a loss-making business, and people are naturally reluctant to invest.
All the major film studios are losing money when making movies. Even if they sell the quota, it is difficult to complete the production tasks, and private capital is becoming increasingly unwilling to invest in the film industry.
Nowadays, the output of mainland films is getting smaller and smaller year by year. In order to maintain the film market, the number of imported films must be increased. As the number of imported films increases, the living space of mainland films will be squeezed again, and the output will be reduced.
It will be less....
This is a vicious cycle!
The final result of this is that the huge mainland film market is handed over to others.
This is not what Mr. Han wants to see.
The mainland film industry is in turmoil. At a time when its survival is at stake, it is time to make changes.
