China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 11 Our Filmmaking Model Is Wrong
On March 2009, 3, "Far Cry" was officially launched in Xiamen. The TV station that came to join the show was "Entertainment Unlimited" by Mango TV, and the host Zhao Ziliang was present in person.Of course, there are also people from Xiamen TV Station and Fujian Satellite TV. These are all greeted through people.

There are also a lot of paper media. Hunan's "Xiaoxiang Morning News" and other major media have sent people here. After all, this is a new project of the Huying Group.

On this day, Guo Zhaosheng was so excited that TV stations and major newspapers interviewed him alone, which was an experience he had never had before.

Of course, not completely.Their city TV station still interviewed him when promoting private entrepreneurs, but that was different, he was just one of many entrepreneurs.

After Guo Zhaosheng accepted the interview excitedly, Zhang Qian quietly walked to his side.

"Mr. Guo, is this investment worth it?"

"It's worth it, it's worth it." Guo Zhaosheng nodded in satisfaction.

"Then what are your thoughts on which actress? You must make this investment worthwhile." Zhang Qian smiled.

"Ah? Isn't that great?" Guo Zhaosheng shook his head first, but said nervously and expectantly.

"I asked Director He, and he said that there is nothing good about what you love and what you want in the crew. The issue of couples in the crew has always existed in crews in various countries. This is an unspoken rule in the industry. But it must not be forced, or else He will go crazy." Zhang Qian raised his head.

In fact, this is what He Fang hinted to Zhang Qian. It is impossible for He Fang to say this. He is a decent person, how could he encourage investors to play actresses?He is firmly opposed to this kind of thing.

"Hiss, but..." Guo Zhaosheng was a little moved, but also a little timid. Can he really have such advanced things?
"Why is Mr. Guo hesitating?" Zhang Qian asked.

"They are all artists, but I'm just an old hat with no culture." Guo Zhaosheng said awkwardly.

"Do you know what Director He told me?"

"How to say?"

"Don't talk about art with artists, but use your own personal charm."

"But I don't have personal charm." Guo Zhaosheng was at a loss.

"No, you have. You go to them and show them if they are tempted by ten thousand. Ten thousand is not enough for twenty thousand, twenty thousand is not enough for thirty thousand, thirty thousand is not enough for fifty thousand, fifty thousand is not enough for one hundred thousand, one hundred thousand is not enough for 20 thousand. This is your personal charm, believe me, you are very charming." Zhang Qian said seductively.

"Huh? Is it that simple?"

"Could it be more complicated?"

"Then what if they still don't want 20?"

"Director He said that 20 is equivalent to [-] U.S. dollars. You can add another [-] U.S. dollars to make up [-] U.S. dollars. With this money, you can spend [-] U.S. dollars to buy two round-trip tickets to Hollywood, and [-] U.S. dollars to rent a luxury villa for a week." Well, [-] dollars can pay a Hollywood actress to act as your lover for a week. Do you understand? If these actresses are still unwilling, let’s just play high-end games, or foreign girls.”

"Hiss... it's worth the money, it's so fucking worth it, even if you only know Director He." Guo Zhaosheng finally felt how rich people should play to be called high-end.

Bah, before when a group of local bosses went to a club, they felt so cool, so f*cking low-level.Guo Zhaosheng has decided that our old Guo will never play that kind of low-level game again.

……

Here, Guo Qian is tempting Guo Zhaosheng, earnestly implementing what He Fang taught him, "Let investors be happy to invest, get value for money, and invest without leaving regrets", while He Fang is talking about it in front of the media .

"Yes, when I return to China this time, I just want to try to use Hollywood's business method to see if it can be successfully tested in China. If it succeeds, it will be to explore a development path for our Lake Film Group. We, our Lake The film studio, those departments of the studio that have been idle, such as the literature department, photography workshop, art workshop, service workshop, etc., can emit new vitality. I am looking for a new way for the film studio that has been reduced to chicken ribs, This is also the mission and dream of studying in the United States and Hollywood as a child of a film studio. Now, it is time for me to start practicing this dream.”

He Fang said this is tall, right?Wang Tiejun, who came to attend the opening ceremony, was a little teary-eyed. He didn't expect Xiao Hexin to be tied to the old studio's way forward. Alas, we old people have given up, right?But young people in this new era are concerned.

Well, well, well said.When you go back, you must apply for more resources from the group leaders. We all say that entertainment is developed in Hunan, but everyone in the know knows that it is only Mango TV that does well.

As far as movies are concerned, Lake Film Studio is in a mess.

If it's true, how can I say it... I don't dare to think about it, I dare not think about it... The picture is so beautiful that it's easy to shed tears.

He Fang may not have thought that he was only doing it for the effect of publicity and defrauding some resources, but the leaders of Huying Group finally took it seriously.

"Director He, what if your experiment fails?" At this time, a reporter who doesn't know how to speak asked a question without knowing the routine. Everyone looked carefully and found that it was from the Internet media, no wonder.

But who in the official media would ask such direct questions?Everyone is playing routines, but you directly ask people in the cold, isn't that good?
"That's a good question." He Fang still smiled without any embarrassment.

After all, he has been outside for eight years. In fact, he is quite open-minded, allowing different voices and controversial ones.Sometimes it is better to be controversial, the heat is higher, and it can make people think more.

"In case of failure, this is my personal attempt, which does not conflict with the group's strategy. However, I will continue with the next one until I find the right path. I believe that if Hollywood can succeed, so can we." Besides, the film studio model is the film production method closest to Hollywood film industrialization, and I have reason to believe that a correct path can be found.”

He Fang's words immediately made the reporters restless, as if they had heard something extraordinary.

"Director He, you said that the film studio model is the closest to the Hollywood model. Does that mean we have abandoned the best way? Are you advocating big pots?"

Hey, someone immediately put a stand on it and put a high hat on it.

He Fang was not angry, and spread his hands.

"I think your statement is too arbitrary. I said that the film studio model is the closest to the Hollywood model, which means that the industrial production of films is the same. Hollywood film production actually has a set of industrial production processes. They are centered on producers. system, which is equivalent to the director-centered system of our film studio. After the producer obtains the script written by a professional screenwriter, he will ask people to conduct market research to see how the market for such themes will be. The audience is not interested in the story. .”

"If the story can be filmed, the producer will select the director and other main creators to form a crew, and then make the film according to the factory model. Think about it, everyone, this is the same as our film studio, where the screenwriter office reports the project, and the director investigates and approves the project. , and then assign the director and the production workshop in the factory to co-produce the film, what is the difference?"

He Fang asked back.

The reporters below are not professional in film production. When He Fang said so, they all didn't know how to ask, because they didn't understand.

"Then Director He means that our current film production model is wrong?" Finally a reporter asked a key question.

"Of course it's wrong." He Fang replied without hesitation.

What?wrong?

"Since we were wrong, why have we produced so many excellent films? And won international awards?" Some reporters objected.
