Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 814 A Complaint!
Education is the most fundamental part of the film industry.

As the film industry becomes more and more internationalized, the Chinese film industry must not only import, but also go out.

At present, only the funds have gone out, but the funds do not only belong to the film industry. After all, there is no one in the world who does not love money. Huaxia's capital is invested in the whole world, and the whole world is happy.

As for actors, there are quite a few who have gone abroad, but very few can achieve excellent results and become international stars in the true sense. The output power of this group is extremely weak.

In addition, the most important film output is not only cultural output, but also film production technology output and educational concept output.

In terms of production technology, Hollywood has always been the leader in the industry, and no one can shake it. Even European films have to bow their heads. The gap in film technology in the East is even greater. It is also technically weak.

As for the export of educational concepts, the three major film art academies in Beijing are currently doing it, but the effect is not very good.

Every year, there are countless students who go abroad to study and apply for foreign film academies such as the United States, Britain, Korea, and Russia.

However, only a small part of foreigners apply for China's three majors, and most of them are graduate students, and the proportion of undergraduates is even smaller.

The rise of a real great power must be the rise of a cultural power.

Although China's movie box office revenue has already ranked second in the world, but because of its large population, there is still a big gap with those leaders, and its competitiveness is not strong enough.

Improving the international competitiveness of films is the only way to enhance the country's cultural soft power.

The internationalization of film is also a must choice for the Chinese film industry. Film itself is a cultural product, and the essence of film education is cultural education, and there is no distinction between good and bad cultures. The essence of it is who leads whom, and it is a matter of cultural discourse power. .

Movies are not a single product. The whole industry chain includes: talent training, scripts, financing, production, filming, distribution, screening, derivatives, etc., which are a series of ecology.

In these three colleges and universities in Beizhong, the status of pure film theory is becoming more and more important. On the overall film education level, more and more attention is paid to the so-called theoretical nature. It seems that a certain theory has been summed up from the creation. level can be superior to others.

Today, with the rapid spread and development of modern self-media, a large number of people who do not have a complete film knowledge structure can also start to conduct theoretical and commentary work on films. On the communication platforms of new media, interpretations that have little to do with film creation More and more, such as some movie public accounts, which are full of fallacies, even completely disregarding the original intention of the creator, and the answers given run counter to the core of the movie.

The goal of the establishment of the Oriental Academy of Film Art is to be a practical film education base.

For the students of the college in the future, they will be exported and introduced through the industry of Oriental Entertainment in Hollywood. First, let them participate in Hollywood film models, then participate in different film models around the world, and finally return them to make this group of talents become The pillars and heroes of Chinese movies.

It is not an easy task to apply for private universities in China, because the only colleges that can be applied for at present are colleges of junior colleges. established university.

But with predecessors, future generations will have references and templates.

The Oriental Academy of Film Art has two options, one is to run a university in China and apply to the Ministry of Education.

The other is to go to Xiangjiang to run a university, which is a little more flexible.

Fang Xiao directly denied the latter one, because although this road is easy to go, it is not conducive to subsequent development.

At the same time, Oriental Entertainment will also build a film and television base, and has already selected a location in Zhangjiajie, intending to use the local geographical advantages to build the world's first film and television base.

Therefore, Fang Xiao hopes that the Oriental Academy of Film Art can also be located in Zhangjiajie, Hunan, adjacent to the future film and television base, or even directly integrated into the film and television base.

The preparatory work does not require much effort from Li Zhifan. With Fang Xiao's connections and resources, it is only a matter of time before the establishment of such an institution of higher learning takes the lead, and there is no problem of resistance.

And Li Zhifan's job is to recruit educators for the future academy.

The first step in recruiting is to recruit from the six cooperating domestic and foreign colleges, such as their retired teachers, and even directly poach talents.

These tasks are not done by Li Zhifan himself, there are industry headhunters, and after the negotiation is completed, Li Zhifan will come forward to chat, and it is basically done.

The establishment of a university is also inseparable from the joint efforts of scholars and experts in the industry, and money alone is not enough.

Moreover, if one wants to reach the level of a famous school, one must be led by famous teachers to develop first-class majors, and finally become a first-class famous brand university.

From the beginning, the establishment of the Oriental Film Art Academy was not to discover and cultivate stars in the future, but to cultivate real film talents, especially behind-the-scenes talents. In order to cultivate film and television stars, there is a big difference.

……

Zhangjiajie.

More than a year after filming the material for "Avatar", Li Zhifan came here again.

And Zhangjiajie has also become popular all over the world because of "Avatar", and there are even more foreign tourists today.

Dongfang Entertainment won the construction and use rights of Guangmao Land here, and jointly developed it with Zhangjiajie Tourism Bureau, Scenic Spot Management Bureau and other units. It is expected to take five years to complete.

Many places have begun to break ground. In addition to the construction of base buildings, the convenience of future shooting must also be considered. In addition, even road construction cannot be done with modern roads, but similar to ancient roads, and the quality must be guaranteed.

"Director Li, thank you very much for coming back to us and bringing us such a big investment project!"

Seeing Li Zhifan again, the person in charge of the scenic spot administration was very happy. Over the years, he had never heard of the investment and construction of Zhangjiajie's natural scenic spots. There are also many film and television bases built here, but they are all small, and Hengdian Those of Xiangshan cannot be compared.

Now that Dongfang Entertainment has arrived, they have acquired 3000 mu of land in the first phase and directly immigrated to two villages. Naturally, such a big deal is highly valued and welcomed by the leaders.

"I am also very grateful to the leaders for their support and love!"

Li Zhifan said, "What we can do at Oriental Entertainment is to make the project the best it can be. We only hope that the local people can provide protection for our safety, as well as our common interests with the government and the people, and do a good job in this project."

"Of course, definitely support and definitely protect!"

The person in charge of the scenic spot said, "You don't have to do it, don't worry about it, and strive to build this place into the world's top film and television base!"

"This is our vision too!"

Li Zhifan said, "At that time, not only our domestic crew and production team, but also the Hollywood production team must be attracted to come."

"Then it couldn't be better!"

"Happy cooperation!"

"..."

The demolition work and the development work are carried out at the same time, and the designers also invited well-known experts at home and abroad, including Western architects and Chinese architectural elites.

Moreover, Hollywood's special effects technology was used to design the whole picture of the future after completion into 3D special effects animation, which is no longer just a graphic design drawing.

In the next five years, Oriental Entertainment has a lot to do, and all the goals are to contribute to China's film industry besides going public!
……

One month after "Avatar" was released, it grossed US$32 billion at the box office worldwide, successfully becoming the highest box office in the world and breaking multiple records.

With such achievements, "Avatar" has not been released globally, but has obtained extension keys in many countries.

Especially in China, the extension key of "Avatar" has been extended until after the Spring Festival, which is about three months of screening time. Who can compare with such care?
the other side.

"Dark Dream 3" has earned a global box office of 7 million US dollars, which is a little bit profitable for their 1.5 million investment.

However, "Swordsman 7" also invested 1.5 million, but only won 3 million at the box office. This failure caused Paramount to lose all of its underpants. A week later, it directly announced that it had sold all the copyrights of "Swordsman" to Columbia. The film and television company took 25 billion U.S. dollars to compensate for the loss of "Mech Knight 7", and at the same time develop Paramount's subsequent film plans normally.

Regarding the failures of "Dark Dream 3" and "Swordsman 7", netizens attribute it to suicide. If "Avatar" does not meet, but separates the release schedule, it may get a much higher box office than this.

At the same time, filmmakers around the world have once again seen the strength of China's box office.

The first to throw an olive branch to domestic film and television companies is 20th Century Film and Television.

They found two relatively powerful film companies in China, one was Huayi Media and the other was Huaer Film and Television, and they worked together to develop multiple film and television projects.

Huayi Media is also the leader in China's film industry, but this leader is likely to be handed over to others in the near future, because the rise of Oriental Entertainment has already caught up with Huayi Media very quickly and will surpass it.

So at this time, Huayi Media chose 20th Century Film and Television to cooperate, which is also a good choice to protect itself.

And Huaer Film and Television is another field. They have never made a movie since their establishment, and they have always made TV series, and most of them are TV series adapted from Internet text IP.

Hua'er took advantage of her own IP to participate in the tripartite cooperation, which was completely a piece of the action, because in terms of the output ability of film technology, they were basically zero.

The success of "Avatar" has really made many domestic film and television companies jealous.

Many large film companies are now starting to produce alien monster films, especially those established film companies in Hong Kong, who seem to have seen the signs. Since they cannot cater purely to mainland audiences, they might as well shift to cater to overseas audiences. Although their post-production technology It still depends on Thailand, but imitating genres and scenery is their forte.

And many small film and television companies in the mainland have once again embarked on the road of copycats.

Just one and a half months after "Avatar" was released, a copycat movie called "Mecha Man vs. Avatar" came out.

The amazing thing about this movie is that when you open the production list, only the producer is Chinese, and the rest are foreign names.

But after a closer look, I found out that from the director to the actors, they all used English names, which are called stage names.

The team in the later stage is all Thai, and they all use names translated from Thai to English. Such a lineup can be called "luxury".

The most important thing is that this movie has been approved for release!

This annoyed Li Zhifan, so he immediately filed a lawsuit against the producer of the film through the legal department of Oriental Entertainment, and at the same time sued Mr.

This is the first time that a filmmaker dared to openly file a lawsuit against the government. The industry was in an uproar, and everyone thought that Li Zhifan's future film career might not be easy.

Just like when several actors offended CCTV and sued CCTV for copyright infringement, they never appeared on the CCTV stage again.

The court quickly accepted the lawsuit and immediately entered offline adjustment.

For the infringing film and television company, Li Zhifan must sue, and the compensation proposed is also very high.

As for the radio and television summary, both sides have adopted "delay" tactics.

……

Beijing, Chaoyang Court.

A mediation hall.

Wang Wenlong, the current president of Oriental Entertainment, Ye Haoren, the general manager of the infringing Dongnan Yishi Film and Television Company, Tian Dongdong, the deputy director of the legal department of the Communist Party of China, and lawyers from all parties sat side by side.

Facing the court's mediation, the three of them refused to give in to each other, especially Wang Wenlong and Ye Haoren, who were still arguing at the table, but Tian Dongdong from Radio and Television was left alone, as if he had nothing to do with him.

And on the other side.

A tea room opposite the courthouse.

Li Zhifan and Kang Peixiu sat opposite each other, drinking tea quietly.

"Come on, I'll refill the water for you. This water is airlifted from Kunlun Mountain. The water quality is very high!"

It was Kang Peixiu who poured the tea, and Li Zhifan who drank the tea.

"Thank you, Mr. Kang!"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "I have to trouble you to pour me some tea, don't dare to do it!"

"Hey, it's too much to talk about!"

Kang Peixiu laughed, and the two of them didn't mention a word about the lawsuit.

At present, Kang Peixiu's position is still the chairman of China Film Group, and the deputy director of ****.

It has always been his dream to be able to be in the radio and television industry, and he can even give up his position in China Film Group.

After the two had a drink, Kang Peixiu's secretary came over and whispered something in a low voice.

Kang Peixiu looked stern, and said to Li Zhifan: "You continue to sue, and the bigger the offensive you spread on the Internet, the better."

"It doesn't look good, does it?"

Li Zhifan said indifferently, "It's better to go out and mess around. It's better to save one thing than to worry about it. If I can't figure it out this time, I'm afraid my future movies will not be released in China!"

"What are you afraid of? Who doesn't have many people above?"

Kang Peixiu took a sip of tea and said, "By the way, what is your next movie going to be about?"

“Taboo subject matter!”

Li Zhifan said, "Well, it may not be easy to release in China!"

"Oh? Really? Can you tell me about the plot?"

"certainly……"
