China Entertainment has been a director since 08

Chapter 108

At 02:30 in the afternoon, the symposium will continue.

At the meeting, the leader mentioned the production of blockbuster films, specifically mentioning that China also needs to learn from Hollywood films, and that blockbuster film productions can attract audiences to watch movies in cinemas and export them overseas.

At the same time, it is specifically pointed out that theaters must arrange films rationally, and cannot "wish to be ranked 100"!
There is no way, in the three or four months in the summer of 2011, the Hollywood blockbusters were everywhere, and the impression of many domestic films being smashed was really deep!
Naturally, there is a reason for the leader to speak, because Hollywood blockbusters are favored by the market, and some theaters really want to line up 100 films. As long as there is money to be made, it doesn't care whether it is a domestic film or a Hollywood film!

This era is a bit distorted!
Some Hollywood blockbusters, Laomei herself doesn't like to watch, and the movies that have been criticized by all kinds of people are very popular at the box office in the Chinese market.

When the audience sees a Hollywood blockbuster, regardless of whether it is good or bad, they watch it first and then talk about it.

People at this time are used to watching movies, but they didn’t first check Douban ratings or comments from some netizens who have watched it.

Go to the movies purely subconsciously.

Other directors and film and television companies also began to condemn it.

In the three or four months of last year, a few Hollywood blockbusters took over 70% of the box office. It can be said that all commercial films lost money during that time period.

Some movies are not bad, but the problem is that the cinema doesn't arrange movies!

A movie that could have sold 5000 million at the box office turned out to only get 500 million at the box office because of insufficient film schedule.

Hollywood movies, that's where movie theaters make money, and it has nothing to do with film and television companies like them. On the contrary, because of Hollywood movies, their own interests are damaged.

"Let me say a few words about this." When Li Hao spoke, the others couldn't help but quiet down. This was the first time Li Hao spoke at a symposium.

Li Hao's status is there. Although he is the youngest in the conference room, he cannot be ignored.

Li Hao said: "What the leader said just now is very reasonable. You can't give all the movies to Hollywood movies, but also leave some to domestic movies. Domestic movies need time and space to grow!"

"Everyone needs to make a good movie. Whether it's a big production or a small one, good movie audiences will naturally buy it. For example, last November's "11 Days of Broken Relationship", which cost 33 million yuan to shoot, took in 900 million yuan at the box office."

"What does this mean? It means that everyone likes to watch a good movie and is willing to pay for it." Li Hao didn't use his own movie as an example, but took the movie "33 Days of Broken Relationship".

"But what is a good movie? A movie that audiences like to watch is a good movie!"

Just after Li Hao finished speaking, someone refuted, "Movies are art, not all audiences can enjoy movies."

Before the director could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Hao: "Movies are art, and the same kind of movies are for the general public! If the audience doesn't understand or like the movie, why bother showing it in theaters?"

"It can be sold to a movie channel. Anyway, other theaters don't know about it. In the future, Wanda Cinemas will never arrange films for these movies easily!" Li Hao felt angry when he thought about the Golden Rooster Awards not long ago.

"Boss Li is right!" Li Hao's words immediately received support from other film and television companies and theaters.

These literary films do not make money at all, or even lose money. The film and television companies want to increase some honors and have to hold their noses to shoot. Then, at the film festival, the movies that are clearly making money are not as good as these movies that can't even be released.

Even many of these movies, even those in the industry, seem to be talking about it!
Even they can't understand and appreciate it, let alone ordinary people!
Look at those so-called sixth-generation directors, who made movies specifically to win awards, and then acted like I was right and you were all wrong.

For the theaters, they are even more heartbroken!
After all, playing these movies is better than playing previous Xiangjiang movies!

The box office of these movies is often tens of thousands, 10,000+, and it is rare to break a million!

At this time, it’s nothing if a movie’s box office breaks one million. For those big-selling movies, if the daily box office falls below one million, it’s time to sell.

But they still had to hold their noses to play it because of policy slant.

"Movies are art, and literary and artistic films are the concentrated expression of film art." Li Hao's words were like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the directors of literary and artistic films blushed to refute.

In their minds, literary and artistic films are the real films, as for the so-called commercial films, they don't even bother at all.

Commercial films are not considered real movies, commercial films naturally smell of copper, they dismiss them!
Li Hao looked at these people coldly, and said: "If you can make such good movies as "No One Less" and "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", that's fine, but if you look at the movies you made, they don't make sense, who wants to watch them!"

"Since you like to make this kind of movie, then sell it to the movie channel and make a CD. Whoever likes it can watch it." Li Hao felt angry when he thought of what happened to the Golden Rooster Award.

The whole meeting place was in a row, and the leaders hurried out to make peace with each other.

All literary and commercial films are Chinese films, and Chinese films must be grasped with both hands, both hands must be strong, and they must develop together.

Broke up unhappily.

"You, you, it's not good to be so extreme!" Tian Zhuangzhuang patted Li Hao's shoulder and said.

"Director Tian, ​​it's not that I'm being extreme, it's just that they are bullying people too much!" Li Hao said with a curl of his lips: "Director Tian, ​​is there any movie to be directed this year?"

"What? You want to invest?" Tian Zhuang smiled.

"If it is suitable, you must invest. My teacher, if you don't invest, who will invest in it, you say yes!" Li Hao laughed.

Tian Zhuangzhuang is not only himself, but his father, Tian Fang, is the first head of the Beijing Film Actors Troupe. He participated in the establishment of Beijing Film Group, and also served as the deputy director of the Film Bureau and the vice chairman of the China Film Association. His mother established a children's film studio in 1981 and became the first director. Tian Zhuangzhuang and Li Xuejian are still cousins!
Behind this is like a big net, of course Li Hao can use it if he can.

Or mutual benefit!

However, if you invest, it must be appropriate.

People of that generation often made movies that contained too many other things and were artistic, but audiences don't like them anymore!
In the past 20 years, there are only three people who have been trendy and can play both sides! Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang!

After "The Promise", Brother Chen Kai was still able to attract investment, isn't it because there are only a handful of people who can beat him!
If Brother Chen Kai was really that bad, he would have really hit the streets long ago!
