Chapter 102 Where is the way out for Chinese films?
Participating in this seminar are national teachers who have just finished the Olympics, and I heard that they have a new film project; Chen Kaige, a young poetry recitation expert, also has a new film project; Fang Yi's senior brother Jiang Wen, whose film is not mentioned.
The three major directors all have new films to be released, but it's already 2010, so it's too late.
The third master is not Sir Humphrey, and he doesn't know how to use the official saying "it's too late now". If he continues to fail to complete the KPI organization, he will get out.
He thinks some effort needs to be made:
"You can give some advice to young directors. Ah, the film market is expanding, but the market for domestic films is shrinking. Even those who make TV series are laughing at the film industry. We are the big rats that everyone calls for beating, and we can't reach the peak.
Happy."
Mr. San emphasized, "The interview record should be published in People magazine, not the entertainment media People magazine, but the one that can be included in the internal reference. If you perform well and speak well, you can show it to the big leaders."
The three major leaders looked at each other.
Chen Kaige was the most active and said a lot of things, but when he thought about it, he had nothing to refer to.
Jiang Wen said: "I am studying the driving role of celebrities, and I found that some people are more popular with the audience and can guarantee a lower limit for the film... However, those are just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. I want to say that our generation is getting old.
I don’t have any ideas.”
"I also watch "Transformers" and I also watch "Star Wars", but we came from a compound and from a rural straw field. The living environment we grew up in has determined that we will never be able to make films. We just repeat the same thing over and over again."
Thoughts on life before the age of thirty."
"The Lucas of "Star Wars", when he was young, it was when the United States and the Soviet Union were fighting for hegemony and mankind was about to conquer space. He had that kind of cultural influence, and the American people also had this kind of culture, and they were willing to enthusiastically accept this kind of film.
"That's not the case for me. I can't shoot that kind of thing in my life. Third Master, you have to place your hopes on the next generation. Directors as well as the audience. In the final analysis, it is the times that create heroes."
The Third Master remained calm and said, "Where is the Imperial Master? Please tell me."
The Imperial Master is a simple man from the Loess Plateau, and he looks like a farmer. He quite agrees with what Jiang Wen said, ""Hero" is a Chinese-style domestic blockbuster I have always wanted to make, and I did it; what Jiang Wen said
It's a heavy industrial visual effects film. I've really never been involved in it. To be honest, if someone is willing to invest money, I'm not afraid of embarrassment. I'm willing to try it, but I've never done it before. Maybe I have to start from scratch, and
There is no difference between newcomers."
"And you?"
The person asking is Yu Feihong.
Director Yu's hard skills are far from enough compared to others, and she was not qualified to join, but she is a female director, and this is enough.
Yu Feihong said: "I think the problem is that the intermediate film does not exist and the quality is not high."
The third master listened with interest and asked her to elaborate.
"It is too risky to rely on a few blockbusters to support the box office for the whole year. Currently, there are only two types of movies that can make money: super-high-budget large-scale productions where the audience is willing to pay; and the other is extremely low-cost niche movies.
Movies can continue to operate as long as some people pay for them...What is missing now are mid-range movies, those with investments in the tens of millions and target box office targets of tens of millions or just over 100 million."
"If one movie with good quality can be released every month, it will be equivalent to two or three Hollywood blockbusters throughout the year."
Third Master: "Genre film?"
"right."
Third Master rubbed his chubby fingers on the buttons of his tunic suit and suddenly laughed, "Director Yu, why are you thinking about this?"
Yu Feihong did not take any credit, "I am a wise person. The original words were said to me by an actor in the play before. I thought they made sense after hearing them, so I will share them today."
The third master immediately thought of a face that resembles a plastic surgery template for 2.2 billion yellow people, "That actor, is he Fang Yi?"
Yu Feihong nodded deeply.
So, a week later, Fang Yi was on the notice list "Inviting Outstanding Young Directors" sponsored by China Film Group.
"Why am I on the list?"
Fang Yi couldn't understand that he couldn't make a short film to be qualified to criticize Fang Qiu and talk about the future of Chinese movies.
Damn it, he was praised so young and hated by others.
Yu Feihong relied on her status as a female director - the original invitation was director Hu Mei who was filming "Confucius". After Yu Feihong came out, she replaced Hu Mei's position in the industry.
What does Fang Yi rely on?
Is it based on the scattered fans he accumulated across Asia after his movie was released?
Or the monks who reserved the movie theater in Guanghua Temple in China, or the daughter of Wang Zhonglei who invited the whole class to watch Fang Yi’s movie?
But he still had to go. This seminar for young directors hosted by Mr. San had little coverage in the entertainment media, but it was highly valued by the officials.
Fang Yi acted in "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", and it's time for him to have a basic ideological consciousness.
He brought DJ's newly modified small helicopter and planned to go to the director's circle to perform a show to increase the product's popularity.
The new version of the aerial camera has a gimbal installed on the belly, with a maximum forward and backward rotation angle of 120 degrees, which is becoming more and more useful.
"Buzz~"
"Buzz~"
The small helicopter was hovering in the visible low altitude, while the picture on the monitor was constantly changing due to the rotation of the camera.
"how about this?"
Fang Yi asked the other two directors who were invited together.
Lu Chuan and Ning Hao.
Ning Hao smiled and said: "This thing of yours is pretty good."
Lu Chuan's eyes shone, but he was unwilling to praise him. Lu came from a family of artists and was quite arrogant.
How arrogant?
If you dare to film "Nanjing! Nanjing!" in your thirties, you should know that people in ancient times were not confused until they were forty.
Fang Yi also tested the small helicopter's photography and capturing capabilities while moving in different directions. In order to verify its practicality, he asked his agent to drive the car on the trail while he controlled the camera to focus on the yellow card on the butt of the car.
After this segment was recorded, both Lu Chuan and Ning Hao came to see the scene.
The first problem is that the yellow card cannot be captured clearly and the pixels are too low; however, as the pixels increase, a small helicopter cannot lift that kind of equipment.
This is the hardware manufacturer's problem and cannot be blamed.
So I got closer to take a picture of the yellow card and discovered the second problem.
It was shaking so hard.
You can't tell it when taking long shots, but it's very obvious when taking fonts.
It may be enough to be a novelty toy for backpackers, but it's still far from being a movie.
"It's not stable enough."
Fang Yi murmured.
He lent the helicopter to Lu Chuan and Ning Hao, both of whom had needs. They had both photographed Hoh Xil.
In the past, you had to go through all the troubles to climb to the commanding heights to set up a camera position. Now, once the helicopter flies, you can see the mountains at a glance. Moreover, this thing can create a tense and fierce atmosphere just like handheld photography. This
Undoubtedly, the job of directing has been lifted from the ground to the sky, making it three-dimensional in a low-cost way.
In the future, the top-down perspective will become a very common choice, instead of being used by big film crews to show off their skills now.
