Rebirth 96: Begin the life of a monster from kindergarten

Seeing Xie Jin staring at him with stern eyes, Zhang Yixin scratched his head and nodded: "It really happened smoothly!"

Xie Jin was noncommittal about Zhang and his party's answer, thought for a long time, and then asked: "Then, there is another question, that is, how can you guarantee that foreign countries will always be interested in your movie script?"

Zhang Yixing thought for a while and replied: "The sales of many of my novels abroad have always been better than at home. Do you know this?"

Xie Jin looked at Zhang Junhui and Huang Lei in confusion. He only paid attention to movies and didn't know much about Zhang Yixing's novel writing.

Zhang Junhui smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, his novels are very popular abroad. The "Kung Fu Panda" novel was spread abroad long before the movie was released, especially the "Twilight" movie about vampires. , is almost as popular as "Harry Potter"!

Huang Lei also said: "In recent years, many Chinese people have written foreign-themed novels for foreigners to read. The source is from him. It is very evil!"

Zhang Yixing added: "This time Tianzhu's Aamir Khan came to China for the film adaptation of "Stars on Earth", and I have several scripts here. I believe he will be very interested. I still have this confidence. The project "My Girlfriend is a Robot" has already been approved, and Japanese film and television companies are interested in investing in it. Because Japan is also the main market for this movie, I plan to let them invest a little bit and exchange it for the special effects production of the earthquake scene. Technology! In addition, Chouguo Film and Television Company is also very interested in some works such as "Inception". I have already made conditions to invest in Chouguo Film's 3D technology and are currently negotiating..."

This was the first time for Huang Lei and others to hear a lot of inside information. Seeing the confident look of Zhang and his party, the three of them were a little shocked.

There are not many 3D screens in China yet, but Zhang and his party have already started planning to introduce 3D technology for movies.

This made Xie Jin, who was originally very optimistic about Zhang and his party, somewhat confused about the young man in front of him.

Do young people today have such a long-term vision?
Seeing that everyone in the room was silent, Zhang and his party stopped saying anything.

But for him, these things are indeed done easily.

The works he wrote were originally adapted from foreign movies, TV series and cartoons, so they naturally had to be restored into film and television works. In order to achieve the best restoration and reproduction, it was inevitable to introduce advanced foreign technology.

Although there was 3D movie technology in China at this time, it was just a conversion from 2D to 3D in the later stages of the movie, and there was still a big gap between it and foreign advanced technology.

Xie Jin thought for a long time and murmured: "I really want to live for a few more decades and watch Chinese movies from that time!"

After sighing with emotion, Xie Jin said to Zhang Yixing: "Xiao Zhang, are you interested in becoming a director and becoming my close disciple?"

"Huh?" Zhang Yixing scratched his head and said sheepishly: "I really never thought about becoming a director, but this does not affect my decision to make movies!"

Seeing that Zhang and his party didn't seem to be refusing on purpose, Xie Jin said doubtfully: "But you have done so much, I don't believe you are just doing it casually. You can feel your devotion to this land, and you have also become an internationally famous director. You have the potential, ability, and financial resources!”

Zhang Yixing still shook his head, "I don't want to be a director. I have to travel all year round to shoot movies. It's okay once in a while. It's always like this. It's not the life I want. If I have that time, I would rather spend more time with my family!"

Hearing Zhang Yixing's answer, Xie Jin suddenly became speechless and lost all energy.

Zhang Junhui patted the back of Xie Jin's hand and signaled Zhang Yixing to stop talking. Huang Lei whispered in Zhang and his party's ears: "Director Xie's son has cancer, which is in the advanced stage. The doctor said it's only been in the past two years!"

Zhang Yixing pursed his lips, considered it, and said: "The development of the national film industry cannot be driven by one internationally renowned director, but needs to be promoted by more directors and countless filmmakers involved in this industry! Although I won’t focus on being a director, I won’t back down if I can promote the development of the industry.”

Huang Lei also quickly echoed and comforted Xie Jin, "Yixing's Dream Weaver Culture is like a platform, occupying the upper reaches of film and television production. It can guide and train many directors, screenwriters and other film practitioners. As long as you are in this industry, It will always have an impact on the industry, just like it affects the animation industry. This subtle influence, like the flapping of a butterfly’s wings, will definitely create a storm in the near future!”

Xie Jin sighed, looked at Zhang Yixing, and apologized: "I'm too impatient. I always feel that I won't see that day! No matter what, the future belongs to you young people. With young people like you here, I believe it will be inevitable." Not bad!”

Zhang and his party were silent.

The patriotism of the older generation is not something that future generations can easily understand.

Just like my grandma, she hums a song when she has nothing to do, and it is always the song "The East is Red, the Sun Rises..." that I never get tired of singing.

Just like the anonymous scientific and technological workers who participated in the development of the two bombs, they are the true backbone of the Chinese nation.

Zhang Yixing thinks that he cannot be so great, but since there are some things that he can easily promote, so what if he raises his hand more!
Zhang Junhui asked curiously: "Yixing, how did you create so many works that attracted attention abroad?"

Zhang Yixing smiled and said perfunctorily: "Talent!"

After thinking about it, Zhang Yixing finally added, "I personally feel that domestic art creators are sometimes too obsessed with their so-called art! Just like ugly Chinese movies, some artistic masterpieces are not excluded, but most high-end It’s a box-office movie, but it has no connotation at all, just one word, cool! The story is cool, the graphics are cool, and the special effects are cool!”

Zhang Junhui nodded, "Then why do you think this is happening?"

"Because the movie ultimately serves the audience, and ultimately the audience needs to like it and understand it! It can have art, but it can't just be art, especially art that ordinary audiences can't understand at all!"

Zhang Junhui and Xie Jin looked at each other, and Zhang Yixing said this, which was really a slap in the face for the Beijing Film Academy, which considers itself a palace of art.

But there is some truth in what he said. In recent years, schools are also reflecting on art and business.

Feng Xiaogang now seems to be fully embracing commercial films, Zhang Yimou repeatedly jumps between art and business, and Chen Kaige cannot let go of both business and his art. On the contrary, some new directors such as Ning Hao have a different understanding of commercial films. It greatly surpassed its predecessors and also achieved box office success.

Zhang Junhui sighed, "Yixing, I regret coming here. After listening to so many of your plans and ideas, I really want to tie you to the film school!"

After that, Zhang Junhui said to Huang Lei: "Aren't you always very good at speaking up? If you try hard and persuade me, if you can't persuade me, then stop doing it!"

Huang Lei was stunned for a moment: Damn it! What can I do! (End of chapter)
