China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 46 Revisiting Film Industrialization
Guo Zhaosheng regretted it, but regret is of no use.

This is also his luck. No one estimates that he has been cheated out of 200 million and can't get it back. Now not only has 200 million come back, but he has also earned 100 million more. Invested in March, output in August, earned 3 million, where to find such a good thing?
"Director He, when will the next movie start shooting, I want to invest." Guo Zhaosheng walked up to He Fang holding a glass of wine and said proudly.

"Haha, Mr. Guo, don't worry, I will definitely let you vote, but we won't talk about it today, isn't it a celebration banquet? Drinking, happiness is the most important thing." He Fang and Guo Zhaosheng clinked glasses.

"Then don't be perfunctory to me, don't let me vote once the time has passed." Guo Zhaosheng suddenly listened to him, "You said you still want to take me to Hollywood, don't forget."

He Fang smiled and patted Guo Zhaosheng's arm, "Mr. Guo, don't worry, this time won't be too long."

The two were chatting intimately when Marco came over.

He Fang is Marco's nobleman, how could the Marco couple not come to He Fang's film celebration banquet?

"Director He, what are you and Mr. Guo talking about secretly?"

"Mr. Guo said that he wants to go to Hollywood to meet Hollywood actresses. He is afraid that he will be overwhelmed. Haha..."

"Hey, Director He, I've been taking the recipe introduced to me for several months, and I promise I can win it no matter if it's a big black horse or a big black horse." Guo Zhaosheng refused to accept it.

"Cough, cough, are you two talking about this?" Marco was a little envious but also afraid to discuss it, after all he has a wife and children...

"Haha... just want to gain knowledge..." Guo Zhaosheng said haha.

……

"Hey, Teacher He Jiu, thank you for the face today..."

"You, you insisted on making me say such a thing, and now netizens say I'm a villain..."

"Hey, it's okay, next time you say on the show that I forced you to say it, and you say that you suspect that those who sing the opposite tune are also paid by me to hype them up." He Fang laughed.

"Ah? Really?" He Jiu took it seriously.

"Of course it's half-truth and half-false. I did find someone to hype it up, but the one who dances the most and bites the hardest is not the one I found. However, if you say that in the show, those people will slander you I'm the same, I can't tell if the yellow mud fell off the crotch." He Fang raised his eyebrows as he said.

"Hiss... This move is ruthless. Director He, Mr. He, let's become partners. I feel that it is only safe if we are with you." Wang Han said.

"Ha ha……"

"However, to be honest, do you want to give Mango Channel a variety show with high ratings?" Wang Han asked.

He Fang looked at the expectant faces of the hosts of Mango Channel, and he knew that there was no escape.This time, his movie Mango Channel contributed a lot, and his "The Voice" Mango Channel was forgiving.If he no longer cooperates, maybe it will be like this next time.

"Of course, we must cooperate. My first choice was to cooperate with Mango Channel." He Fang smiled.

"Yeah, when is that?" Xie Na jumped out excitedly.

"I have to wait for that ten days and a half month, right? My brain needs to think."

"It's not urgent for ten days and a half months, it's not urgent."

……

He Fang got up very late the next day, mainly because everyone played very late yesterday. After drinking and singing K, He Jiu and others had to drag him to play mahjong... until six o'clock in the morning, everyone couldn't hold on anymore. That guy Wang Han insisted on asking everyone to wash their feet. The key is that the footwashing shop is not open at this point.

In the end, everyone had to disperse and go back to their respective homes.Of course, those who can't go home will stay at the Huatian Hotel.

"[Far Cry] Changsha celebration banquet, the new director does not return at night"

When He Fang saw this report, everyone was paralyzed. Someone reported this?

Is anyone watching?As a result, he read the comments below, and there were quite a few people involved.

"If I had achieved such a result, I would have stayed out of the night happily."

"Wow, I saw the host of Mango TV, they played mahjong together."

"It seems that there will be a Hunan circle in addition to the Beijing and Hong Kong circles in the movie circle?"

"The people upstairs thought too much, and only one film from He Fang was successful, and where did the Hunan circle come from."

……

After simply browsing the Internet, he got up to wash up and eat lunch.

"Fang Yazi, have you woken up? Come on, Mom made chicken soup. By the way, your dad told you to go to the group after you wake up. Secretary Gu is looking for you." Zeng Jinghua was busy in the kitchen.

"Ah? Why is he looking for me?" He Fang was surprised.

"How do I know? Don't you know when you go? Does he still dare to cheat you?"

"makes sense……"

After lunch, He Fang drove his LaCrosse to Huying Group, and then he took a tea box from the back compartment that could be carried in his pocket.

This is a very precious small box of Longjing, which is very expensive.

As a human being, not everyone is like this.

Gifts should be given as gifts in silence. It is so conspicuous to hear that others give Moutai and cigarettes in boxes.

If you want to give it, you can send such a small box of things, which is not so conspicuous and very expensive.

But don't send gold, silver and money directly, that's illegal, and sending tea is not illegal.

But after thinking about it for a while, he took another box.

He Fang came to Secretary Gu's office, and his secretary took He Fang to the office inside.

"Ah, He Fang is here, sit down quickly." Gu Yang was correcting the document, looked up at He Fang, and waved his hand.

"Okay." He Fang didn't talk nonsense, sat down on the sofa, took out a cigarette and lit it.

The secretary soon made him a cup of tea, then filled Secretary Gu's cup with water, then went out carefully and closed the door.

Within a few minutes, Secretary Gu approved the documents on the table, then came over with a teacup and sat in front of He Fang.

"Xiao He, I didn't expect you to learn some skills in the United States. This is not only a success in movies, but also in variety shows. I heard that you promised Mango to release a new variety show last night?"

After Secretary Gu finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He Fang shook his head helplessly. He didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.

"Ah? Did it spread? There's such a thing. Isn't Mango TV helping me so much? Wouldn't it be shameful not to cooperate? That's why I agreed to plan one." He As he spoke, he took out a cigarette and handed it over.

"Well, I have made progress." Secretary Gu nodded, then he took the cigarette, and He Fang lit it for him again.

"Secretary Gu, I got some of this kind of tea. Here, let me give you a taste. It is said that it was picked from eighteen trees in front of the West Lake Longjing Imperial Palace. You can see if it is authentic." He Fang said and took the small box The tea leaves were pushed over.

"Hey, you still have such good things?" Secretary Gu's eyes lit up, he likes good tea.

"Hey, grab some goods and see if you can catch them." He Fang smiled.

Secretary Gu nodded, picked up the tea leaves, opened them, and sniffed them.

"Well, yes, it's the real thing."

"It's fine if it's the real thing, I'm afraid I might get it wrong."

Gu Yang covered the tea box, then went to the desk and opened a drawer to put the tea in.

"Xiao He, did you think of a good plan for the industrialization of the film studio that you said last time?" Gu Yang also formally asked about the topic he cared about.

"Oh, that's what you're asking?" He Fang thought at first that Secretary Gu was going to ask him about movies and variety shows.

"Or else?"

"I thought you wanted to know about new movies and new variety shows..."

Gu Yang waved his hand, "Huang will always talk to you about those things, I don't care about the specific business, I'm only interested in how the group should go. After you told me about the film industrialization last time, I have been thinking about what this film industrialization is. Is it a system? Or a standard process? Or a concept? I am most familiar with the film studio model, but I have carefully understood it during this period of time. After looking at the industrial process of Hollywood, this seems specious. Xiao He, how can you talk about the industrialization of the film on the basis of the film studio?"

After hearing this, He Fang frowned and thought for a while, took a few puffs of cigarettes, how should he answer this question?Long story or short and to the point?But I can't explain it in a few simple words.

(Re-edited, everyone reflects the long-winded writing before, let’s be concise)

"To put it simply, the industrialization of Hollywood movies is the heavy assets of several big factories responsible for producing blockbuster movies, such as professional studios, top props, pyrotechnics, costumes, special effects production workshops, etc., as well as a large number of professional talents. There are large-scale production capacity and supporting facilities. Small production companies are responsible for various new ideas. When they have new ideas, they can find large factories to produce their ideas. Of course, this also involves an excellent production system process , it can make the cooperation between them more efficient and produce faster. For example, Hollywood’s producer-centered system improves production efficiency, controls costs, and controls quality. For example, various associations manage talents, and special investment and financing Solve financial problems, etc."

"Our current situation is that all private companies are allowed to produce movies, and our private companies do not have the ability to hold heavy assets, nor do they have specialized production workshops. Therefore, our private companies can only produce low-end films. Compared with Hollywood blockbusters, it is not competitive with Hollywood blockbusters. However, our large market will need our blockbuster films in the future, so the industrialization of films has great prospects.”

He Fang thought about it, wondering if this explanation could answer Secretary Gu's doubts a little bit.

Secretary Gu, on the other hand, frowned and smoked a cigarette, thinking about He Fang's words, and then nodded.

"Understood. To put it bluntly, our film studio has the foundation for blockbuster film production, but we don't have the most cutting-edge production technology and talents, and the market size can't support our large-scale investment in technology upgrades and asset-heavy technology?"

"That's almost what it means, because the production of film studios is the workshop production mode of heavy industry, and the industrialization of Hollywood has the same effect. It's just that our production mode due to planning and dispatching makes the workshop lose the ability to innovate, resulting in production efficiency that cannot keep up. , the production process cannot keep up, and the market is too small to satisfy the upgrading of new technologies. For private enterprises, the industrialization of film is a fantasy for them, because industrialization is not just a word that can be industrialized. It involves many aspects such as production facilities, professional talents, and institutional processes, which are far beyond the reach of private enterprises. Film studios have these basic foundations, but it’s a pity.”

"Well, yes, the current film studio basically has no production capacity, no supporting facilities, insufficient talents, and not the latest equipment, so there is only an old factory building left. Then you can talk about how to rebuild it. planning?"

He Fang thought about it again, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before speaking.

"The team needs to be market-oriented, the process needs to be planned, and the supporting facilities need to be advanced. Why do film studios lack creativity in the later stage? But private film companies can create novel films? Because the film studio has solidified the part that needs flexible creation, So there is a lack of spirituality and innovation, while private companies have spirituality and innovation, but they lack strict industrial production in production, so the production is rough and the production cost is wasted."

"Okay, well said, what you said made me suddenly enlightened, what should I do to be more specific?" Secretary Gu asked excitedly.
