China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 18
On April 4th, He Fang and Zhang Qian finished the finishing work in Fujian, and the filming director drove them back with a few people. The two of them had a farewell meal with Guo Zhaosheng, leaving Guo Zhaosheng A man's prescription, and then set foot on the plane back to Changsha.

After getting off the plane, He Ben and Zeng Jinghua were there to pick him up. It was the first time I met someone else’s parents who had traveled through time. Although it felt a bit strange, it didn’t feel unsmooth at all. It was smooth and felt like it should be my own. Same as mom and dad.

"Dad, Mom..." He Fang greeted warmly, and Zeng Jinghua stepped forward to hold He Fang's hand.

"Oh, my son is promising, and he actually became a director just like that, and actually made a movie. I lost weight, lost weight, and haven't eaten for more than a month, okay? Mom wanted to see you, you Dad refuses to let me go, saying that it is not appropriate for me to go when you are working. Let's go, mom will cook something delicious for you when I get home..."

He Fang only yelled a few words, and there was no room for him to intervene.

Of course, he still had time to say something to Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian's father didn't have time to pick him up. The electrical appliance store at home was very busy, so there was no time to pick him up.

He Fang's family background can be regarded as upper-middle-class, at least there is one of their own villas in the top villa area of ​​Changsha.

Although the family didn't have a good car, his father drove an A6 and his mother drove a Passat, but this small villa with one basement floor, two floors above ground and a yard of several hundred square meters is not small.

The most important thing is that the green bamboo garden they live in is still in the green bamboo lake golf course, this environment, this location, tsk tsk.

He Fang didn't think about anything, and slept soundly at home for two days, waiting for his mother to make him delicious food every day.

On April 4, He Fang came to the Huying Group, the office his father rented for him.

In fact, this is what he asked for, so he put the office in the Huying Group, just like Feng Xiaogang's company was in the Beijing Film Studio in the earliest days.

Just a small office, about 30 square meters, with an office separated by glass, and a few sofas and a coffee table outside, for reception.

He Fang looked around and found that there was nothing serious, so he threw the bag on the desk in the inner office, closed the door of the inner office, and went out.

The first thing to do is to thank the group leader. After all, it was the group leader who gave him a lot of support this time.

The secretary and chairman, the general manager, and Wang Tiejun all went to say hello.

"Secretary Gu, hello, I'm here to thank you." He Fang said respectfully after knocking on Gu Yang's door.

Generally, many people like to be called a certain Dong, but if the surname Gu Yang is called an antique, it seems a bit unpleasant, so people in the Huying Group call him Secretary Gu.

"Thank you for what I do. I also have to thank you for adding a new project to the group. Come, sit down, Xiao He." Gu Yang stood up and shook hands with He Fang very enthusiastically.

"Then I need to thank Secretary Gu for his support the most. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to form a formal crew. Fortunately, the group sent me a lot of professionals." He Fang said and took the hot tea from the secretary.

"Haha, let's stop flattering each other. However, what you said to the reporter, He Fang, I really want to hear your detailed insights on the relationship between the film industry and the recovery of the film studio." Secretary Gu said seriously.

He Fangcai brought the teacup to his mouth, and was stunned for a moment, he just... well, since the words have been said, it doesn't matter if you say more.

"Secretary Gu, do you know that when we join the WTO in 2012, the film clauses will be relaxed? We need to increase the number of imported films and increase the share of imported films. If this is the case, it will definitely have a huge impact on my country's film industry. You know, China's film industry has already died once, and now it is supported by several private companies, and these companies obviously cannot produce blockbuster films comparable to Hollywood. Therefore, in the foreseeable future , our movie box office market will be dominated by Hollywood movies. It is estimated that at that time, we can only use administrative means to intervene, and at least 50% of the box office must be guaranteed by domestic films.”

He Fang said this and took a sip of tea, then took out a cigarette from his pocket.

"Yo, you smoke, I forgot to smoke for you." Secretary Gu suddenly said awkwardly.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." He Fang said and lit a cigarette for himself.

"He Fang, I don't see that you understand the problems of the current film and television industry, so tell me your thoughts." Secretary Gu said.

"Actually, I don't have any idea. If domestic films want to prevent the impact of Hollywood blockbusters, there is only one way, and that is to follow the way of Hollywood, so that Hollywood has no way to go. And what is the way of Hollywood? It is the industrialization of movies."

"Oh, so that's the case. Then what do you mean by saying that film industrialization is similar to film factories? Isn't it better for private companies to take this path? After all, the market determines the direction of production. Once the market demands it, then the company will It will develop in this direction." Secretary Gu said.

He Fang shook his head and smiled wryly, it seems that Secretary Gu has been brainwashed by the so-called marketization.

"Why, isn't it right?" Secretary Gu asked back.

"Secretary Gu, the theory is such a theory, but the reality is not the reality. To give the simplest example, China needs thousands of civil aviation aircraft every year. This is such a huge market. According to the market theory, there should be The company is doing civil aviation aircraft to seize the market. But do you think it is possible? Can you build engines? Can you build flight control systems? Do you have wind tunnel tests for civil aviation aircraft? You can’t even manufacture an aircraft tire. At this time Is market theory still useful?"

"Just like now, we want to have industrialization comparable to Hollywood. Do we have their mature mechanism? Do we have their huge professional talents? Do we have those capital support? Do we have global market support? Also, Do we dare to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to make a movie? Even if we vote, we don’t have the same movie special effects software to make the effects, and we don’t even have the relevant rendering servers. That is to say, we have nothing, how to market Competition? Was the Qing government market-oriented? There was a big enough market demand for advanced weapons, did they make aircraft and cannons? They couldn’t even smelt steel, so they were expected to make aircraft and cannons?”

"We are like that time now. We can't do anything. How can we industrialize? So it is just a delusion to want to industrialize through marketization. Which private entrepreneur is willing to invest in research and development for decades? To lay out the foundation of the industrial foundation?"

He Fang said a lot while talking, Secretary Gu was silent for a while after listening, lit a cigarette and smoked most of it, and then asked slowly.

"So what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that the only way to change the foundation of the industry is through administrative intervention, or by asking the state to concentrate its power on big things. And the best way is to use the model of a film studio. In fact, this is an opportunity. Just look at it. Whether the film studio is willing to catch it. No, if we still let the market do it, then we will have to do it for ten years or even longer to reach the production level of Hollywood."

Secretary Gu frowned and took a few puffs of his cigarette.

"Do you have a specific plan?"

He Fang spread his hands, "Why do I have nothing to do with this plan? I just said it casually in front of the reporter that day to stir up a topic."

Secretary Gu nodded, "Then if you want to do it, where do you start?"

"Learning from the barbarian's strengths to control the barbarians, if we want to take the road of Hollywood, we must first let a large number of professionals understand the specific operations of Hollywood. Only in this way can we come back and rebuild our own, discard the dross and keep the essence. We Isn’t this the way that many industries are going now? After learning the Su-27, we have our J-11B, and maybe we can even develop better ones.”

"I'll think about it, and you should think about it too. Tell me if you have a good plan."

He Fang spread his hands helplessly, "Okay."
