Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 147 Relying on Literary Movies Against Hollywood Blockbusters?

All eyes turned to Fang Ziheng.

There are differences, encouragement, disdain, and recognition.

Different eyes come from major film and television executives, and encouraging eyes come from the old artists ahead.

As for disdain, apart from Zhang Weiping, who is not convinced by anyone, there is also a sixth-generation director Jia Zhangke!
Fang Ziheng got up, straightened the long microphone on the table, and thought quickly about what to say?
no way!
The leaders have called the roll call, even if you don't want to say it, you have to say something at this meeting.

Think for a while!
Fang Ziheng looked around, and finally looked at the rostrum. First, he was humble: "Since the leader calls the roll, then I will be the first to start. All of you here are my seniors. If there is something wrong, please forgive me."

After finishing the opening remarks, he paused for two or three seconds, changed into a serious tone, and said loudly: "When it comes to the development of Chinese-language films, we have to mention three basics!"

"The first foundation is our country's film market!"

"The second foundation is the creative direction of our filmmakers!"

"The third foundation is the industrial technology of our Chinese-language films!"

As soon as the three foundations came out, the expressions of everyone at the meeting changed immediately.

It really is a young man!
This is the first time they have encountered such a straightforward dissection of Chinese-language films.

"As we all know, our country has a large number of moviegoers. As the country's economy booms, the size of the movie market will only grow stronger, and the annual total box office will be higher and higher!"

"As far as film development is concerned, the first foundation is being gradually completed, gradually reaching the standard!"

Following Fang Ziheng's words, everyone couldn't help nodding.

Entering 2010, the film market is even hotter than last year, and the fact that only one Wanda has entered the market shows the problem.

As the market expands, investors in other industries will also turn their attention to the film industry.

Just like the coal boss, there is too much money and you have to find a place to spend it.

The first foundation, everyone knew it well, smiled knowingly, and looked at Fang Ziheng one after another.

Waiting for him to decipher the second foundation!

Without keeping everyone waiting, Fang Ziheng continued: "The second foundation, creative direction, is a very critical point."

"The expansion of the movie market must match the release of suitable movies. More precisely, there must be enough high-quality movies to be released to attract audiences into the movie theater, so as to meet the audience's viewing requirements and expectations!"

Speaking of this, Fang Ziheng glanced at the directors and the bosses of the film and television company, and smiled lightly: ""Tang Detective" can break through 6 million, and "Avatar", a 3D special effects blockbuster, can hit 13 billion, what does that mean?
It shows that the capacity of the market can already produce a movie with a box office of 6 to 10 billion, which shows that the market welcomes high-quality commercial movies! "

"So, the commercialization of movies is a trend, and it doesn't depend on individual will!"

After finishing this paragraph, Fang Ziheng stopped!

He knew that once he said this, someone would definitely refute it.

really
Zhang Weiping and Jia Zhangke raised their hands.

"What questions do you two have?"

Fang Ziheng looked calm and made a gesture of invitation.

Jia Zhang got up abruptly, stared at Fang Ziheng with burning eyes, and said in a bad tone, "Director Fang, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that we should simply give up literary films and focus on commercial films?"

"Everyone, the film market is growing, the box office of the film is high, and the spring of literary and artistic films is coming. This is the luck of our filmmakers."

"At this time, we should support literary and artistic films, instead of getting into the smell of money, only focusing on making money, and only wanting to use the wind of the film to become a bloody capitalist!"

Jia Zhangke's angry words echoed throughout the multifunctional meeting room.

Many respected old artists present were shocked.

Yes!

Isn't the booming film market an opportunity for literary films?

In the past, the reason why literary and artistic films were selected abroad was not only because of their high standards, but also because of the lack of domestic audiences.

At that time, no one would watch commercial movies, let alone 'boring' literary movies.

But now, the market is bigger, and there are more moviegoing groups!
In terms of the production budget of literary and artistic films, a random box office of 3000 to [-] million is enough to recoup the cost.

If there is policy support, more investors will definitely be willing to invest in literary films.

Filmmaker!
In other words, directors, editors, and when they entered the film industry, which one didn't have literary dreams.

In addition to the older generation of artists, Chen Daren, Zhang Yimou, several directors who have made achievements in literary and artistic films also shined.

Jia Zhangke's words said that their hearts were gone!
But everyone didn't speak, but continued to look at Fang Ziheng.

Creating direction, after all, is the basic standard he put forward, and the master has not yet spoken, so they naturally don't want to interrupt too much.

The corners of Zhang Weiping's mouth rose, and a trace of strong disdain flashed in his eyes.

Gee
Fang Ziheng was still too young after all.

To actually take the lead in attacking literary and artistic movies on such an occasion, Jia Zhangke is really a vegetarian with those old guys.

He made up his mind that he would help Jia Zhangke later by teaching young people how to respect their elders.

Faced with doubts, Fang Ziheng was not in a hurry, and still had a calm smile on his face.

After Jia Zhangke sat down and everyone calmed down, he flicked the microphone and began to speak for the second time.

"I can understand Director Jia's words!"

"The continuous prosperity of the film market not only gives commercial films a wider space, but also brings new hope to literary films!"

"but!"

Fang Ziheng propped his hands on the table, his tone suddenly raised, staring at Jia Zhangke and said: "Let's not forget that the Chinese film market is not limited to commercial films and literary films!

We still have an opponent, a very powerful opponent! "

"Jia Dao, I understand your idea of ​​revitalizing literary and artistic films, but I want to ask you, in the face of menacing Hollywood blockbusters, what should we use to fight against, and should we raise our hands and surrender?"

Fang Ziheng said this very seriously!

You just point your nose and scold Jia Zhangke, you can win an award yourself, of course you advocate the development of literary films, anyway, you don’t want the domestic market, of course it’s none of your business whether domestic films live or die.

Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian and other executives of film and television companies nodded in unison, firmly supporting the commercialization of domestic films.

On the rostrum, several leaders were also discussing with each other.

Many top actors, such as Uncle Daoming, Uncle Bao Guo, and teacher Li Xuejian nodded in agreement unconsciously.

After the WTO was reopened last year, the quota for imported films has increased again and again, and foreign films are released almost every month.

In this case, how to keep the local market is the top priority.

Fang Ziheng's words continued, this time he not only pointed the cannon at Jia Zhangke, but also dragged Lao Mouzi and Chen Daren into the water.

"In the Chinese-language film industry, directors Jia, Zhang, and Chen, as well as directors Wang Jiawei and Xu Anhua from Hong Kong Island, you five are representatives of literary and artistic films, and you have all made remarkable achievements!"

"There are three directors here today. I would like to ask the three of you, do you think literary films alone can resist foreign films, and can they resist the invasion of Hollywood special effects blockbusters?"
