Chapter 341: The Crisis of the Chinese Film Market
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit embarrassing, under such a situation, Feng Xiaogang also said: "Third Master, doesn't it mean that there are many celebrities and experts who have time for this matter? It should be good for us.
There are a few of them. I heard that some of them are quite good at the box office. There seems to be a movie called "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog". So, from the perspective of this, it doesn't seem to be a big deal whether we go or not."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yimou couldn't hold it in any longer. He is a director, so who doesn't know what this thing is like? It sounds quite shocking, but what is it actually like?
The thing is, this real number line is just a joke. And only Feng Xiao could tell such a sinister story just now.
Zhang Yimou wanted to laugh but didn't. He immediately picked up the teacup in front of him and pretended to drink tea. Chen Kai simply picked up a newspaper and covered his face pretending to study, but from Chen Kaige's
It can be seen from his movements that he was probably very happy at this time. And if no one takes the words, it means there is no meaning.
However, there was really good support at the scene. Ye Ming followed up with a look of surprise and said: "That's really young and old. Our country has never seen such a box office. The people who made this movie
He is a talented person, how come I have never heard of it beforehand." Regardless of whether Ye Ming meant it or not, these words made people angry anyway.
And Ge Youzi made a fuss and said: "Ye Ming, you don't know. The box office in Japan is naturally calculated in Japanese yen. The exchange ratio between our country's money and the Japanese yen is the same."
One hundred and twenty-seven, after conversion, you will know how much the box office is."
Calculate it like this. In fact, the box office of "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is only three million. In fact, there is nothing to show off at all. It is just like soap bubbles in the sun, it looks beautiful.
These words were probably a sign of scorning Han Shanping. Han Shanping stared at the three of them with his glasses widened and said angrily: "You are interested, right? You are too busy, right? We need to encourage young people to make movies."
Let me tell you, I don’t care about this matter anymore. It doesn’t matter who cares whoever you like. It has little to do with me anyway. Now, I won’t leave a few people to eat. I’ll do whatever I need to do.”
Naturally, this meant seeing off guests. In fact, Han Shanping knew better than Ye Ming and the others about the Golden Rooster Award. He was just saying that it was done for fun by a few people within the system. Who would be obedient?
Give it to someone. That's probably what it means. Looking at the situation, the five of them are determined not to leave, and Han Shanping has given up. Do you want to go or not?
After coming out, Feng Xiaogang stopped Ye Ming and said, "Don't go anywhere else at night. Just go back to my house and ask your sister-in-law to cook some vegetables and let the three of us have two drinks. Some of the things we talk about are just chatter."
Ye Ming naturally wanted to do this.
The three of them were walking out when Feng Xiaogang suddenly stopped and shouted to a middle-aged man who looked like a migrant worker: "Zhao Bold?" The middle-aged man who was reading the newspaper in the bulletin board had his back turned to them.
The man turned around. Feng Xiaogang said in surprise: "Zhao DaDa, brother DaDa, it is indeed you, but I haven't seen you for a few years. I heard that you were dropped to Shu. When did you come back?"
The middle-aged man named Zhao Bingdao glanced at Feng Xiaogang, and it took him a long time to recognize him: "Gangzi, I didn't expect it to be you. I haven't seen you in these years, but you have become a famous director. It's not easy to meet you.
.”
Feng Xiaogang chuckled and said: "Brother Bold, what you said seems to be that I am unreasonable. Youzi, Ye Ming, let me introduce to you, this is my good friend Zhao Guoqing. We were a projection team back then.
Yes, when I go to a rural area to play a movie in the evening, Brother Bold goes alone. It is the hardest work, so we all call him Brother Bold. We walked around, and it happened that we hadn’t seen each other for a while. We went home together.
Have two drinks.”
After saying that, he took Zhao DaDang and walked out.
To be honest, at this time, Feng Xiaogang's enthusiasm made Zhao DaDang a little overwhelmed, but after all, it was an old relationship. Gradually, Zhao DaDang and Zhao Guoqing quickly adapted to Feng Xiaogang's style.
In Zhao Guoqing's eyes, this kid is still so dazed and green, which means that he has not changed much at all. Even if he becomes an international director, it is actually not a big deal at this time.
When they got to the car, Feng Xiaogang introduced the people behind him while driving: "Brother Bold, let me introduce you. The bald guy behind is Ge You, and the young one is Ye Ming. They are all my friends. Brother Tie, there is nothing to say."
If you can’t tell me, just tell me what you came here to do with me. If you need help, brother, I am obligated.”
Zhao Guoqing smiled and said: "There are very few Chinese people who don't know them two. The portrait of this young man Ye Ming is already on the Sprite drink. Now it can be found wherever Sprite is sold.
Mr. Ye's portrait. You and Ge You are a perfect match and have become a golden partner. This is not easy. I am much more powerful than we originally dreamed of."
If these words were spoken by ordinary people, then Feng Xiaogang would at most regard such a thing as a compliment, but in fact it would not be regarded as the same thing at all. But Zhao Guoqing would come out with such words
, then he has to believe it. Because he knows Zhao Guoqing's character very well. He is a real person, one-minded, and he will never praise people for no reason.
This made Feng Xiaogang very happy: "Brother Bold, what you said is that we have just made some achievements. We are not serving the people in the same way. Just like we were the same in the projection team back then, we were all revolutionary.
Just a screw, the difference is that before the show we showed movies, now we just make movies. Tell me about you, why are you so polite to me?"
Zhao Guoqing pondered for a while and said: "Actually, I personally have nothing to do, but I did come to the General Administration to do something. However, these words are a long story. Gangzi, what do you think of our country's film market?
It looks like that. How does it compare with ten years ago? To be honest, I know you are a mouthful, so don’t play tricks on me."
At this time, Feng Xiaogang understood that Zhao Guoqing said such words so seriously. He knew that Brother Zhao was really serious. Therefore, he also began to take it seriously. Although Feng Xiaogang usually seems to be a bit talkative, but
In fact, he is also very concerned about changes in the film market.
At that moment, Feng Xiaogang thought for a while and then said: "Brother Daring, you want to listen to the truth. Let me tell you. In fact, the movie market is not very good. It can't be said to be prosperous. Ten years ago, our movie ticket prices were
It was 25 cents. But at that time, our movie box office was 2.7 billion. Now our ticket price has almost increased a hundred times, but the movie box office is only 1 billion. To be honest, it is relatively
It’s shameful, and the majority of it is taken up by those imported films. It can be said that Chinese filmmakers have completely disgraced themselves.”
Maybe, Feng Xiaogang's words have a little personal thought, but, generally speaking, what he said is correct. Zhao Guoqing nodded and said: "Yes, the ticket price has increased a hundred times, but as a result, our box office revenue has actually increased
It means that it has not increased but has more than doubled. This is the result of ten years of hard work by us Chinese filmmakers. It is embarrassing to say it. Our Golden Rooster Award is said to be on the same level as the Golden Horse and Golden Statue Awards. In fact, it is authoritative.
We are not as good as others at all. We are putting money on our own faces.
But now many filmmakers simply cannot see such a situation. If this continues, our country's film studios will enter a dead end and will not be able to get out. In other words, your movie is considered
It opened a window for Chinese films, but it was impossible for those experts to see it. In fact, even if they did, they pretended not to see it. Otherwise, it would not be possible to have hundreds of flowers every year, but the Golden Rooster could not even be shortlisted. I said
There’s nothing wrong with that, right?”
Although Zhao Guoqing said he grew up as a member of the Street Squatting Committee, he still had a heart that cared about the country and the people. This was the Zhao Guoqing Feng Xiaogang knew, and it had not changed at all over the years.
Feng Xiaogang actually understands such a situation very well. In such a matter, there are some problems that he cannot solve. At that moment, Feng Xiaogang's words were filled with sadness and helplessness. Opening the car window,
The summer evening breeze blew gently across the face that had begun to show a trace of vicissitudes of life.
Feng Xiaogang watched the sunset slowly set, and the temper of a passionate literary young man rose again.
We, Feng Xiaogang, were once a middle school boy.
At that moment, Feng Xiaogang said: "Brother Zhao, I am very clear about what you are talking about, but what is actually going on? This is not something we can worry about. To be honest, even if we talk about Han
Mr. Shanping, it is impossible for him to solve such a problem. I dare say that even the director of the General Administration may not be able to solve this problem. Maybe, or higher up, the leaders of the Ministry of Culture
If you speak up, maybe you can get some hope."
At this time, Zhao Guoqing suddenly retorted with righteous words: "I don't like to hear what you said, Gangzi. There are things that we can't control. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. As a filmmaker, naturally
You have to express your voice. Only if you express your voice and let the leaders hear it, then in a situation like this, can you truly say that you can live up to the conscience of our filmmakers. If you don’t go
If you do it, how do you know if you can complete it?"
Such words are really impassioned. They have the meaning of eating gutter oil and worrying about Zhongnanhai's heart. Ye Ming can occasionally see it from behind. This Zhao Guoqing is definitely old-school and ideal.
That generation of intellectuals worried about the world's worries first and rejoiced after the world's happiness. In fact, from this point of view, it is not a big deal. Let's talk about it with our students on the podium, remember it, and sigh with emotion.
, it’s no big deal.
That is to say, if we switch to real life, it is impossible to succeed in such a thing. Basically speaking, when it comes to such a problem, most things are actually relatively obvious, such as movies.
There are no such shortcomings in the market that many people have seen and can be solved, at least not now. What Zhao Guoqing said is a bit idealistic.
But it just so happens that Feng Xiaogang is actually such an idealistic person, or in other words, he used to be such an idealistic person.
No matter what it is, Zhao Guoqing's words lit up a bright light in the darkness for Feng Xiaogang on such a matter.
These words made Feng Xiaogang unable to say anything for a long time. He had to think about what these words meant.
After returning to Feng Xiaogang's home, while Feng Xiaogang and Zhao Guoqing were parking their cars, Ye Ming stood aside and said, "Teacher Ge, what do you think of what Brother Zhao said?"
Ge You looked like a very honest little man, but he was actually a very thief. He said with a smile: "The goal of this matter is very great. I support Brother Zhao's ideals spiritually, but
I still want to be in China or in reality. How do you think about it? You have a movie theater yourself, so this matter has the closest relationship with you."
These words are almost the same, and Ge You even asked back.
Ye Ming said with a smile: "This matter, the ideal is very full, the reality is very skinny, it cannot be accomplished by two of us. Huaxia Film Factory has Han Shanping, Zhang Yimou, Director Feng and you tall guys in front.
No matter what, it’s not my turn to come forward.” Ge You smiled slyly and said, “You are such a thief.”
Ye Ming showed a mutual smile, and everyone understood it tacitly. Ye Ming and Ge You actually looked at such a problem from the perspective of outsiders, so they could see something from this perspective.
Come.
But neither of these two very chicken thieves said that Zhao Guoqing and Feng Xiaogang are people with ideals. Since they are talking about people with ideals, then in such a matter, two chicken thieves
There is no need to be willing to expose such an ideal easily. People with dreams are always happy.
After stopping the car, Feng Xiaogang still could not recover from such an ideal state. After entering the house, Xu Fan saw Feng Xiaogang in such a state of despair and said: "What's going on? Does it mean that tomorrow is the end of the world?"
It won’t work.”
Ye Ming then replied: "It's much more serious than this. The collapse of the ideal world is even more heartbreaking than the destruction of the real world."
Poor-talking, this is another standard poor-talking person. This is Xu Fan's impression of Ye Ming.
