Han Fei's words made all the teachers and students present fall into deep thought, especially the teachers at the college. It is undeniable that they have not taken those Hollywood blockbusters seriously at all. All the teaching materials, including the films they shared with the students, are
I prefer art films.
Because in their view, these films are far superior to those Hollywood blockbusters in terms of shots, artistic conception, and actors' acting skills. However, in fact, the Hollywood blockbusters that they are not very fond of have repeatedly achieved high box office. This problem is actually that everyone
We all know it in our hearts, but not many people really pay attention to it.
To put it bluntly, even though Han Fei has achieved so many achievements before, he has never been invited back to his alma mater to give a speech. However, some seniors who did not perform as well as him at the box office but won awards frequently appeared in major art schools.
The academy talks loudly.
Looking at the status of major art schools, it is not difficult to understand why the entire film industry has such an attitude towards Hollywood blockbusters. Others have received high box office. In addition to saying: popcorn movies, special effects scenes and other words that are secretly contemptuous,
There seems to be no other adjective.
Han Fei added: "Don't Hollywood blockbusters have any advantages? In my opinion, there are, and there are many. Yes, movies are indeed an art, but they are also a commodity. For the audience, buying a ticket is their
It is a paid entertainment method. Many people may say that Hollywood blockbusters always have the same rhythm, it is always about justice defeating evil, and it is always Americans who save the world."
The students sitting in the playground laughed secretly. Indeed, in their minds, this is what Hollywood blockbusters look like.
Han Fei nodded and said: "Yes, this is the cultural output that Hollywood blockbusters have been doing for decades. Even we professional film practitioners will have such a view. You can imagine how ordinary audiences will think about it.
Know?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a buzz in the playground.
"Isn't this a bit too much of a conspiracy theory?"
"I think it makes sense. This is indeed the concept that the United States exports to the world."
Han Fei added: "In my opinion, the complete industrial system of Hollywood movies has brought them at least three major benefits. First, the replicability of the works. I don't know if you have noticed that now in the entire global film market
Among them, various Hollywood movie series are plundering the global movie box office, and many viewers are even willing to pay for the subsequent sequels because they have watched the previous series of movies. They call this behavior [sentiment]."
"Secondly, they have packaged many so-called international superstars. As long as they play the leading role in some series of movies, their market is not just the United States, but movie fans all over the world will pay for them."
"Third, the export of culture. Everyone actually understands American culture. It seems very beautiful. The so-called American dream is just the American dream of Americans. The so-called freedom is not open to people from other countries, but in movies
They can beautify themselves unscrupulously, and it seems that the whole world is in dire straits, and only the United States is the last paradise."
"Haha~~~"
After laughing, another student asked: "Then how should we deal with it?"
Han Fei thought for a while: "This is a good question. Wei Hai, a thinker in the Qing Dynasty, once said: Learn from the foreigners and develop skills to conquer the foreigners. In my opinion, being behind is not terrible. The Chinese are the nation that is best at learning. As long as they can
If you know your goal clearly, you will be able to catch up one day.”
"The scary thing is that we are clearly behind for several laps, but we still think that our opponent just runs a few more steps than us."
After a burst of applause, another student asked a question: "Senior Han Fei, I watched "The Secret of the Dragon" during the Chinese New Year. The 3D special effects in it seemed to me to be very realistic. I would like to ask, if you can take this work
In terms of industrialization, how far do you think it is from Hollywood?"
Many students on the playground raised their heads and waited for Han Fei's answer. Obviously after being hit, they needed some chicken soup for the soul.
But obviously, Han Fei is not a good chef, and at most he can only cook dark dishes. He sighed helplessly: "Let's put it this way, the 3D effect of [Looking for the Dragon] is equivalent to Hollywood in a few years."
level, and the industrialization level of our crew is at least twenty years behind the professional crews of real Hollywood giants."
"Ah?" The students mourned, and each one almost had an exclamation mark and a question mark on their forehead.
Han Fei said seriously: "Maybe you think I am alarmist, so let me give you an example. You should all know about werewolves that often appear in Hollywood blockbusters, right?"
"I know." The students nodded.
Han Fei made a gesture: "If we follow our current special effects technology, the process of turning a person into a werewolf can only be accelerated in a short period of time at most. If it is more detailed, it will definitely not be watchable, but in Hollywood movies, it can be
The entire process of growing black hair on a person's body, then changing his face into a wolf, and finally completely transforming into a wolf was completely filmed. I believe you have all seen similar movies."
"I saw it, and I really felt like my heart was spinning."
"I have also seen that the special effects are indeed very well done, but how they were done was never explained in class."
Han Fei added: "Actually, this scene of just ten seconds requires a team with a high degree of industrialization to create it. First of all, it requires some makeup skills. Well, to be precise, it should be a combination of makeup and prop production.
If the scene of turning into a werewolf is completely made with special effects, the whole scene will look fake. However, through makeup, the fur is attached to the actor from short to long, and then modified with special effects, the whole scene will look very real, and it can be fake.
effect.”
"If you look at it at a slow speed, you can even see the hair on the werewolf shaking naturally, and you need to use the motion capture system to coordinate this. In short, so far, I have not seen any domestic crew that can achieve such precision.
Operation, and Hollywood was able to do this more than ten years ago."
"Then, wouldn't it be difficult and tiring for us to catch up like this?" Some people couldn't help but feel frustrated after hearing this.
Han Fei said: "Of course, if we don't work hard and are not tired, how can we have a chance? It's because no one is doing it, so as long as there is a little achievement, people will see it. Isn't [Xunlong Jue] the best
Good proof?”
There was thunderous applause for a while, and Tao Yuehua also applauded this beloved disciple in the audience. In fact, she was the one who made it possible for Han Fei to come to Beijing to give a speech. Yes, Han Fei has indeed become very prosperous in the film and television industry in recent years.
But because there are no awards, it actually has little influence in the mainstream literary and art circles.
You must know that these teachers and professors in the art school have been judges of various film and television awards all year round. Only with their approval can Han Fei, including the actors who often shoot his films, not be treated differently.
Don't underestimate this. Sometimes prejudice is like a big mountain. If you don't move it away, it will always stand in front of you.
After the speech, Han Fei was inevitably pulled into a group photo by the enthusiastic junior students, and then was arranged by Tao Yuehua to have dinner with the school leaders.
Han Fei was naturally deeply moved by Tao Yuehua's good intentions, but just as Tao Yuehua never mentioned it, Han Fei never said a word of thanks. Perhaps this was the tacit understanding between them.
