Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 68
"The box office of "Transformers 2" exceeded 3000 million on the first day, breaking the first-day box office record in the mainland and sweeping the mainland film market!"

"Tencent Entertainment reports for you: On June 6, "Transformers 24" will be released simultaneously in various countries around the world.

According to the information learned by relevant people, the box office of the film on the first day was 3400 million, more than 1 million more than the record of 2400 million held by "Red Cliff 1000".

According to the judgment of some film lovers and film critics, the film is very much hoping to break the domestic box office record of 3.6 million hit by "Titanic"! "

"Sina Entertainment: "Transformers 23", released in the early hours of the 2rd, is about to ignite the entire summer season, raking in 3400 million box office on the first day of its release.

The cutting-edge director Fang Ziheng attended the premiere of the film. According to Fang's information, his new film "Detective Chinatown" has already been filmed more than halfway. "

"Didu Entertainment: Fang Ziheng, a new generation of box office hit director, uttered nonsense after attending the premiere of "Transformers 2", thinking that "Transformers" is just a popcorn movie with no nutrition, except for visual effects, there is nothing A logical story to tell."

"Transformers 2" exploded!
The explosion was unexpected, far beyond the cognition of insiders.

The entertainment media frenziedly reported that the Hollywood blockbusters were coming, and the end of domestic films was coming.

At the same time, I frequently interviewed major Chinese directors, as well as many first-line movie stars, and asked them about their opinions.

.........

6 month 25 number.

Fang Ziheng, Liu Qianqian, and Zhang Zifeng's mother and daughter boarded the plane and flew to southern Thailand for the follow-up filming of "Tang Detective".

Along with China Film Group Chen Yu and Zhao Changan, Deputy Director of Huayi Production Department, the two represented the cast, first to visit the crew, and second to check the shooting progress and film quality.

On the plane, Fang Ziheng, Chen Yu, and Zhao Changan were sitting together, chatting casually.

In front of them, Liu Qianqian was telling a story to the little girl with her arms around Zifeng.

Xiao Zifeng seemed to like Miss Sister very much. After getting on the plane, he was glued to her body, and Zhang's mother couldn't hold her back.

"Director Fang, what do you think the final box office of "Transformers 2" will be?"

Chen Yu closed the newspaper in his hand, and turned his head to ask Fang Ziheng. On the front page of the newspaper, there was a report on "Transformers 2".

"It's pretty high."

Fang Ziheng reached out and asked for a cup of coffee from the passing flight attendant, and said with a smile, "Although it's a popcorn, it's still a standard Hollywood industrial movie, and it's definitely excellent in terms of visual effects."

"Excellent?"

"What Director Fang means is that there are movies and technologies with better visual effects in Hollywood?"

Huayi Zhao Changan was startled, and instantly heard the overtones, turned his head and asked in surprise.

"Of course there is!"

After receiving the coffee from the flight attendant, Fang Ziheng thanked him.

Looking at the long white clouds outside the window, he sighed, "Hollywood's shooting technology is very powerful. If there is no external interference, it will take a long time for our domestic filmmakers to catch up with Hollywood."

"As far as I know, some famous directors in Hollywood are already using 3D technology to shoot movies."

"3d?"

Chen Yu muttered softly, showing a puzzled and curious expression.

What a new term this is!
"Yes, it's 3D!"

Fang Ziheng took a sip of coffee, pressed the coffee cup on the newspaper, and began to educate two colleagues in the industry.

The so-called 3D in the film industry is the method of recording images when shooting movies using 3D stereoscopic shooting technology.

Stereoscopic film shooting technology refers to the use of two cameras to record images at a certain distance and angle at the same time.Playing 3D movies can be implemented in various ways such as front projection, rear projection, flat screen, ring screen, active, passive, etc.

At this stage, professional 3D stereo real shooting is generally realized by using a 3D shooting bracket.

For example, when Cameron shot "Avatar", he used the 3D shooting bracket developed by the team himself, and cooperated with the professional camera customized by SONY.

The visual effects produced by this technology are far superior to the current special effects blockbusters. They are real and clear, making people feel like they are in another world.

It is precisely with its powerful technology and film industry system that Hollywood can conquer cities all over the world.

However, domestic films still use film and a small number of digital cameras.

To be honest, what domestic films lack is not funds, nor is it simply shooting equipment.

What domestic films lack is countless behind-the-scenes working teams, and what is lacking are talents engaged in special effects, 3D and other film technology fields.

Without funds, you can attract investment. Huaguo's economy is booming, and there is no shortage of rich people to invest in good film projects.

If you don’t have shooting equipment, you can also spend money to buy it abroad.

Hengyu Media's new digital camera and many new shooting equipment, and the several domestic special effects companies that the investment department is looking for investment are all preparing for technology.

But without professional operation personnel, the establishment of industrial films is out of the question.

At this stage, the domestic production of a blockbuster film can only be done with the number of people, with appearances in front of the stage and support behind the scenes. Thousands of people are used for a blockbuster film.

Lao Mouzi's "Hero", Chen Daren's "The Promise", Feng Trouser's "Night Banquet", and Wu Baige's "Red Cliff" all used a lot of manpower to shoot.

Although these movies reflect large investment and big casts, most of the money is spent on labor costs, and the proportion of funds that actually fall into film shooting is not high.

The real gap between domestic films and Hollywood is the production methods of industrial films and the technical talents behind the scenes.

The former can apply what you have learned, as long as there are people with money.

The latter is different, requiring the behind-the-scenes team to come to Hollywood to learn and practice in person, stealing lessons from teachers.

Fang Ziheng's words made both Chen Yu and Zhao Chang'an fall into silence,
Both of them earn a living in the film industry, and the two really haven't thought about these issues. What they think about is how to supervise and produce a movie well and get a good box office.

They never thought about catching up with Hollywood and how to revitalize domestic films.

After a long time, Chen Yu let out a breath and asked, "Director Fang, what do you mean by external intervention?"

"It means that the leadership's attention must be truly put into practical actions.

For example, in a co-production film, it must show a real Chinese-foreign co-production. The funds, main actors, and behind-the-scenes production team must all be participated by people from China.

Especially for the behind-the-scenes production team, at least one-third of the Hua people must participate in order to count as a co-production.

You can't just find a Huaguo artist, give a dispensable role, and shoot a few gimmick posters as a co-production, right! "

Fang Ziheng smiled and pointed out the current problems of domestic co-productions in a flat tone.

During this period of time, the country is further in line with the international standards, and the entertainment industry is one of them, and the entertainment industry is nothing more than movies and animation.

Among them, the movie is the biggest hit. "The King of Kung Fu" is the product of a co-production. This movie is not bad. Although it is a bad movie, the main characters are all Chinese.

Other so-called co-productions are really eye-catching.

A supporting actor who is not even considered a second-fan, played for more than ten minutes, changed the skin and turned it into a co-production film, and then it was screened in the country majestically, enjoying the treatment of a co-production film.

For this kind of bad movie, Fang Ziheng just wanted to say that I'm going to fuck you, fuck my aunt!
He said this in front of Chen Yu today, but he had no choice but to complain.

I hope this complaint can play some role in front of Chen Yu.

He had a phone call with Concubine Lin last night and got a piece of news.

Next month, Chen Yu will become a full-time employee, officially serving as the director of the China Film Distribution Department.

Director of China Film Distribution Department, this is a serious department-level cadre.

Chen Yu has just passed thirty, young and strong, he is valued by Director Han and several leaders of the Film Bureau.

As if he understood the meaning of Fang Ziheng's words, Chen Yu bumped his arm quietly, showing a knowing smile, and then gestured for a phone call with his hand.

That means telling Fang Ziheng that he will truthfully pass on what he said just now. As for whether it is useful or not, it depends on God's will.
