The interview is an industry discussion organized by the Central Propaganda Department.
As we all know, China Film is a state-owned enterprise under the leadership of the Central Propaganda Department. All cadres meet regularly to learn the spirit and "take the first step." The meeting will not only be attended by cadres, but also relevant directors, actors, and producers.
To join in the fun, the speech reports at the meeting will be published in the official literary and art newspaper in the form of abstracts.
If the speech arouses a response, other official media such as Military Daily and Daily will also reprint and comment on it. The report may eventually be published in Da Lao Eucalyptus.
Therefore, Han Sanping attaches great importance to this kind of occasion and basically talks at length every year.
Although the occasion was lively, there were not many valuable suggestions. Everyone talked about their own things and vented their emotions.
This is similar in nature to Chen Kaige reciting a poem on the spot during the selection competition for the director of the Olympic opening ceremony - it cannot be said that it is not good for you to speak so enthusiastically. The key is that what we want now is practical information.
Fang Yi also came here a few years ago and shared his views as a young director. At that time, he talked about "supporting small-budget genre films" in "Love Is Afterlife". In "Love Letter", he mainly advocated that "screening be normal".
"Standardization"... In this year's "Seventeen Again", Fang Yi was talking about the issue of "film industrialization".
Han Sanping was very satisfied and asked his secretary to complete the speech. Fang Yi started talking for a few minutes, and then he added a few details.
After Fang Yi came on stage, he directly put his hand on the table, swept it around, and said:
"It took three years for the number of movie screens in mainland China to increase from more than 4,000 to tens of thousands. It only took a few years to go from being the seventh largest film market in the world behind Italy to surpassing Japan and becoming the second largest in the world. It had never been done before.
After such a development... So, we may be in a situation where one leg has run ahead and the brain has not yet caught up. Is it true..."
No one needed to answer, Fang Yi said, "I feel so."
Han Sanping's eyelids twitched.
I asked Fang Yi to raise his head, but his tone turned out to be extremely harsh.
Ning Hao, Lu Chuan and other young directors were several rows behind. They looked at each other and secretly said that Fang Yi was unusual today and seemed to be a little angry.
Lu Chuan said: "Fang Yi is not polite at the beginning. I am definitely not good at saying that."
Ning Hao disagreed: "I have his grades, but I still dare to be a little crazier - it's just that I rarely see him speak harshly. I don't know who offended him now."
Lu Chuan was burdened with emotional debt, and he immediately understood: "It's not necessarily a grudge, it could be a woman."
"Maybe it's the recent news...it seems to have been clarified?"
"Do you think it's true or false?"
"I don't know. I was the one who had to be angry and ruin my reputation because of a rumor that was made for nothing. I was also angry when it was revealed that I had concealed it. Don't you think so?"
Lu Chuan laughed: "You are so thoughtful."
Let Fang Yi continue:
"There are several things we are already doing now...such as screening, such as supporting genre films. Producers and theaters have united to release new domestic films during several key local holidays. National Day must be
There are films with main themes, and there must be romance films during the Chinese Valentine's Day... It's a bit like the cold-shooting campaign launched by our army during the Korean War - giving full play to subjective initiative can indeed achieve considerable results."
"In September, the tax details of the special fund for film development were announced. This tax is levied at 5% from each movie ticket. The purpose is to support rural film screenings and theme film shooting... The 2 billion collected in the previous seven years has been spent and cannot be traced.
, now the public can finally monitor where the tax dollars are spent. I would like to thank the directors led by Feng Dapao for their long-term appeals on the Internet."
"Obviously things are generally getting better. But compared with the speed of our hardware deployment, these improvements are far from enough, because old problems have not been fundamentally solved, and new problems have emerged...pre-sale ticket sales model, real-time electronic vote counting
Updates, anti-counterfeiting, and online publicity are out of control and rampant... We have yet to see an effective management system. I believe that if it develops to a certain extent, it will in turn drag down market development."
"The situation is probably like this. Time is limited. Now we are mainly talking about the cultivation of talent teams."
"The film and television base in Huairou is the largest in Asia and has the most complete equipment; but now there are a lot of vacant equipment... There is a giant indoor shooting base of 5,000 square meters. After I rented the film, I found out that it has never been used.
Find the next crew.”
"——Some people will say, Fang Yi, you are overgeneralizing. The indoor stadium is too big. Ninety-nine percent of the time, there is no need for it. It should not be built. It will be repaired when it is used.
, or use someone else's... I think this is a fallacy that it's better to buy than to make. I heard that Jet Li went to Hollywood to shoot a movie, and found that their trailers were all full-time drivers, the trailers were special vehicles, and the drivers were certified.
The driver has only been doing this for twenty years. He does everything to ensure the safety of the equipment and actors and never makes mistakes..."
Speaking of this, Fang Yi paused.
He thought that when filming "Our Group" a few years ago, due to a major accident, the domestic special effects team was temporarily replaced by a Korean team. The Koreans were very defensive to prevent others from stealing their lessons. Huayi could only use Koreans, even in ancient costumes.
It was used in the movie "Bongtian Empire".
The development of local blockbusters does not cultivate local talents, but gives experience points to others.
This incident impressed him deeply and was one of the reasons why he bought Base.
He sighed, "I mean, a mature market needs to be foreseeable, use one percent of the equipment to feed the one percent of people, and don't just improvise; the industrialization of film has been talked about for a long time, and film and television
Film and television bases are being built everywhere in the city, but the cultivation of talent teams has not kept up. We are gathered here today to discuss and express our foresight about the industry, not because it is simple enough, but precisely because it is difficult enough..."
I read the last sentence in the manuscript, "It is urgent to introduce new blood and cultivate a talent team."
He nodded and stepped off the stage. It was quiet during this period. Seeing that these people were ignorant, Han Sanping stood up and applauded. Then several young directors also clapped and jumped up and down, leading the entire audience to form a wave of applause.
In fact, there are a lot of problems. It's just that the theater lines and tax payments are directly related to money. There are old guys who fight against each other every year, and it's not his turn to take the lead.
Han Sanping took his place on the field, treating it as his own living room, playing VCR and playing accompaniment, and couldn't finish talking for a while.
Ning Hao, who was in the back row, crawled next to Fang Yi and asked him:
"Director Fang?"
Fang Yi turned his head, Ning Hao grinned and gave him a thumbs up.
The two started chatting about drones.
"Your newly launched equipment is pretty good, isn't it ae? It's now standard equipment for film crews. Actors who are a little more ambitious will also buy one to see the effect and find a camera spot... I would say the biggest drawback is that it's not easy.
Buy it."
"I love you so much."
"I wonder if I, as an in-depth user, can make some requests and see if I can fulfill them later, Director Fang..."
What Ning Hao mentioned was a handheld camera.
This kind of thing is mostly used in some art films, but according to research, it was first used in Germany in the 1920s: a camera was tied to a person's body to record the shaking effect of a drunken person.
During the theoretical revolution in the film industry in the 1950s and 1960s, visual effects developed explosively. The regular shaking of the camera unexpectedly produced a special sense of beauty, and was widely used in clips that wanted to create a sense of presence and impact. For example, in "Assembly",
The male protagonist Gu Zi De is dodging stray bullets on the battlefield and running wildly with his legs wide open. At this time, the camera that provides the scene is also shaking, coupled with Gu Zi De's breathless panting, it feels very realistic.
However, this is hard work. The lens shakes regularly, which is actually a sign of holding it very steadily. It is stable with a bit of shaking, not a few random shakes. Therefore, there are very few shots that can be taken with this kind of lens, and often
Pay a lot of money to hire an experienced master to take the photo.
Nowadays, it is difficult to produce some outdoor reality shows because of the lack of experienced photographers. The photographers often have to be long-distance running men, carrying a tome on their shoulders, and running with the camera as steady as a dog.
I mentioned before that drones have revolutionized film and television shooting - that kind of long lens with a bird's-eye view used to be reserved for very large investment films, and it was a perspective that would burn money at a glance, but now anyone with an AE can shoot it.
This is Fang Yi's great contribution to the film industry, and his confidence to be the seventh generation director. If he hadn't given Wang Tao some advice, Wang Tao would still be thinking about his pesticide spraying drone.
"Director Fang, you mentioned the industrialization of the talent team in your speech, but hand-held shooting like I mentioned requires fine skills, so it must be taught through mentoring and workshop-style training - is it possible to use you in the future?
Instead of some kind of equipment, in the future, a novice photographer can also use the equipment to produce good handheld films."
Ning Hao's words inspired Fang Yi. He asked:
"How did you come up with this idea...I had a bird's-eye view at the time, but I couldn't find a machine to take it with, so I thought of building a convenient one."
Ning Hao explained: "The films I make are different from yours. Mine is suspenseful and strong drama films, interior scenes, chase scenes, etc..." He joked, "You seem to make every frame picturesque, using medium format.
There are so many of them, they are suitable for use as wallpaper.”
After the meeting, Ning Hao felt that the conversation was not enough and asked Fang Yi to continue, but Lu Chuan interrupted the two of them because of something: "Director Fang, the film we collaborated on before is about to be edited."
"That documentary "We Are Born in China"?"
Lu Chuan nodded, "350 hours of material, snow leopards, Tibetan antelopes, giant pandas, golden monkeys, red-crowned cranes... were all shot. Although there was a script before shooting, when shooting on location, it was completely luck; at that time, it was expected to be the most difficult
What we were photographing was snow leopards. We camped in the Tianshan Mountains for a few days. Because it was too cold and lacked food, the snow leopards’ activity area expanded from about 20 kilometers to 80 kilometers. At such a long distance, they would run away as soon as they saw people. Fortunately...
…”
Ning Hao also listened to the words and guessed: "Fortunately, there is the drone, right?"
"Yes, the drone's battery can only last for fifteen minutes. It's cold on the plateau. In fact, it takes more than seven minutes. It often falls off soon after flying up. Although it is so troublesome, it is better than us squatting and waiting for the snow leopard.
It’s convenient to pass by.”
The film "We Are Born in China" is a United Nations project jointly produced by Disney and China Film. DJ just used this project to sign a sales order with China Film. After finding that the effect was good, the equipment was exported to Hollywood.
So Fang Yi didn't know the progress of the filming.
This documentary was filmed by the five permanent members of the Security Council. The last one was "Ocean" shot by the French. The Chinese version had Jiang Wen as the dubbing voice. The film crew thought Jiang's voice was too rough and replaced him with Fang Yi. The "Ocean" documentary was still the same as that of the year.
The opening film of the East Film Festival.
Lu Chuan exchanged some pleasantries and said what he meant: "Third Master suggested that you do the dubbing."
Fang Yi: "Is it Third Master's opinion or yours?"
"I have the same opinion." Lu Chuan said honestly. "This film will be released in theaters. Although we don't expect box office, we can still sell a little more, right? Even if we don't take these into consideration, we can still sell a little more."
It’s good to use your fame to attract more attention.”
He said, "And there is another advantage. Third Master should have told you that you may have the opportunity to speak as a representative at the United Nations - have you been to New York? New York is a good place, the Big Apple City."
This is really a pillow for when you feel sleepy. Fang Yi is in urgent need of positive news.
How does the International Chapter get rid of the dirty stuff? Create a reputation as a charity, demonstrate its business capabilities...and then forget everything that should be forgotten in the history books.
Zhang's real dirt can be washed away, not to mention Fang Yi's fake scandal that can't withstand investigation. He needs to plate himself with some gold.
Go back and talk to Sister Zhen. Sister Zhen is the support of both hands and feet. By the way, she shows him the new draft of Xinlang Scarf:
This time we are talking about Fang Yi’s academic qualifications.
It is true that he has not attended many classes in the past three years. Although neither the Central Television Department nor the Ministry of Education has any objections, some netizens will.
As soon as this article was published, it was obvious that Xinlang and Fang Yi were at loggerheads and began to attack these popular celebrities on other platforms - it was not that they just started making things up out of the blue, but that they were combined with reality to add fuel to the flames of the original ones.
So Liu Yifei, the spokesperson of Souhu, also suffered a disaster. Some of her honest interviews in the early years were found out and whipped to death, not to mention Liu Mi. The golden bodies of these people are far less strong than Fang Yi's. After reading this, the public is not just doubtful, but
It was a direct scolding.
The gilded body is a passive skill. It can be used to support you during special times. If you really want to completely reverse the situation, you have to kill Xinlang as soon as possible.
Lao Zhang was very angry recently. He cursed with the groom's CEO until three o'clock in the morning, and then spent money to recruit talents from all over the world. He was bound to avenge Fang Fo.
That day, Fang Yi appeared in the recording studio to dub the narration for the documentary. After he got the dubbing, he looked left and right, and couldn't calm down for a long time, saying:
"Your words are too hard to pronounce. Have you really never found anyone else before?"
Lu Chuan had already framed him in the recording studio, and his words were sincere now: "Actually, I thought about finding Young Master Zhou before. Director Fang, what do you think of this candidate? There is something interesting in Mr. Zhou's lines."

He looked at Fang Yi and praised me.
Fang Yi didn't reply to him, but gave him a kind smile. He secretly thought that this guy really felt good about himself.
