Huayu since 1980

Chapter 273 New Students
Wu Jianye became famous!

It's famous!

Before "Raise the Red Lantern" was released, although there were already many reports in China, even on the news of CCTV, but at that time, the feeling he gave to the domestic people was still illusory, after all, everyone hadn't seen "Red Lantern" yet. "Raise the Lantern", at that time, everyone just knew that there was an awesome director in China, who won the most awesome film festival award in Europe.

But it is different now.

The movie was released, and everyone went to see the movie. Although people in this era have their own cunning, they still blindly worship foreign awards. Coupled with the limitations of the times, there is not so much comparison, and there are not so many The so-called commercial blockbuster, the bombardment of visual blockbusters.

So even if some people feel a little confused after watching the movie, they still clap their hands and say it's great.

And those professionals, after watching this movie, couldn't help clapping their hands, as if this movie opened another door for them!
In the past, Chinese film directors repositioned the relationship between film and drama, and rediscovered the creative characteristics of Bazin's long-shot documentary aesthetic style.They opposed falsehood, pursued truth, vigorously promoted Krakauer's "image restoration of material reality" and Bazin opposed excessive editing and praised the documentary aesthetic style of long shots.In the creation of the film, we start more from the nation itself and life itself, and explore the inner spiritual value from the simple life scenes.

Their movies show a more plain and sad side!
This is also the creative thinking of what later became the fourth generation of directors in Huaxia.

As for the content of the films created, on the one hand, there are a large number of films reflecting historical themes, and on the other hand, there are some films reflecting real life emotions, but the number of the latter is not very large.Historical dramas such as "Xi'an Incident" and "Nanchang Uprising", etc., reflect real life such as "Small Street" and "Middle Age". Although the number is not very large, there are many excellent works that have come out.

Of course, "Under the Bridge" that Wu Jianye participated in before can also be classified as this type.

The appearance of Wu Jianye and "Raise the Red Lantern" has changed this phenomenon.

"After we entered school, when we were studying at the academy, we were able to watch many foreign films, such as French New Wave and Italian Neorealist films.

I remember that at that time, Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuangzhuang and others would repeatedly watch the New Wave films of Godard and others. I came out to discuss this issue. When I participated in the Venice Film Festival this year, I discussed this issue with Director Godard.

China is developing, and our movies are also developing, so I always think that movies should not be made behind closed doors, and we should go out and watch more.

This will not only broaden the horizons of everyone here, but also allow you to see the operation of overseas film companies.

I believe that in the days to come, many of you here will take up leadership positions. Your vision will be farther than us directors. You can no longer pay attention to the success and success of one or two films. Failure, but to look at the entire film business with a strategic perspective, this is what you should pay attention to in the future! "

Yanjing Film Academy, in the classroom of the cadre training class.

Wu Jianye put down the guide tube, picked up the chalk, and became Teacher Wu of the academy again.

In 1983, the students of Yanjing Film Academy's cadre training class had already enrolled at this time.

Han Heping and Huang Jianxin also sat under the stage holding notes and carefully memorizing the content of Wu Jianye's lecture.

Through the word of mouth of the students in the previous cadre training class after graduation, Wu Jianye's reputation is no longer a stranger among these people. In addition, Wu Jianye is the first in China to win the European A-category film festival The winners of the biggest awards, they have not shown the so-called disobedience to management at this time.

Much better than the previous session.

"Mr. Wu, you said we should pay more attention to more places, can you be more specific?"

Han Heping sat below, like a good student.

Han Heping officially graduated from Sichuan University last year, but like many people of this era, he had already worked before going to university, as the director of the Art Center of Emei Film Studio.

After graduating next year, he will return to Emei Film Studio as director and deputy director.
Then he was transferred to Yanjing Film Studio, and then until he became the head of China Film Group, controlling the lifeblood of the entire Chinese film industry.

Wu Jianye considered his own thoughts, and then said: "What you want to study is the system, not the shooting technology of a film, the system of the film studio, the system of the future development of the film, and the system of the marketization of the film!"

"A system for film marketization?"

The bigwigs in the audience were slightly taken aback, this was the first time they heard someone say: "The system of film marketization!"

"Yes, for example, the types of movies in our country are somewhat vague, and there is no clear plan for the entire movie viewing market. Let's not talk about overseas, but only Xiangjiang movies. Xiangjiang is a small place, and the development of the film industry has not It has already matured, and various types of movies have emerged one after another.

There are commercial films specially created to entertain audiences, which are divided into action films, kung fu films, comedies, gangster films, and drama films. Even each of these types is divided into different small types of films, and each type of film has own audience.

At the same time, they will also have different theaters showing different types of movies. These are the progress of the film industry. In contrast, in our country, there is no such emphasis at all. Basically, what kind of movie the studio shoots, the audience has to watch what kind of movie. .

These gaps may not be visible now, but with the rise of the TV industry, the film industry is bound to be impacted. At that time, if the domestic studios are still like this, then I dare say that in the near future, Huaxia Film Industry will be hit hard! "

Wu Jianye's words caused everyone to fall into silence. Obviously, at this time, Wu Jianye's words seemed a bit alarmist to these people, and even a little deviant.

"So how can all this be avoided?"

Han Heping asked subconsciously.

Wu Jianye glanced at Han Heping, and said in a shocking voice: "Since the whole country is now talking about marketization, I think our film industry should also enter the marketization system as soon as possible. Let's give a simple example.

Now the studio produces a movie, no matter how much it costs, but the revenue created by a single movie for the studio is at most about 120 million, so this actually limits the cost of filming for the studio .

The production cost of a single film must not exceed 100 million, otherwise, no matter what the performance of the film is, the studio will not be able to make money, which indirectly hinders the development of domestic films.

Let me give you a simple example. In 1981, Xiangjiang filmed a movie called "Mr. Zombie". The box office revenue in Southeast Asia exceeded 800 million. Excluding all expenses, the movie "Mr. Zombie" brought his production company more than 2300 million Hong Kong dollars in revenue!

It was also with the return of this fund that the film company invested in many films in succession. "
