Chapter 66: Bragging without drafting

Chen Tian coughed dryly, "I am still a little vain when I tell you about this number, and I am naive."

The atmosphere below was slightly eased, and some people laughed out loud.

Chen Tiandu kept releasing his voice and continued: "This set of numbers just shows how huge economic benefits the film industry has, and shows that we cannot give up on film, especially in the most difficult times."

"Our motherland has the largest population in the world, these are potential audience resources, and the national economy is developing rapidly. We believe that the future of domestic films will be bright. Of course, it cannot be compared with Hollywood now. After all, people can make movies in urban sewers, and we still have repeated urban flooding."

"What I want to share with you is the success model of Hollywood. First of all, we must have rich themes and free imagination!

"The Mainland undoubtedly puts a shackle on the theme of movies. A mature film market is a market where genres are blooming. Take horror movies for example. The market for horror movies is also very large, but they are usually stuck by ghosts, plasma and other elements and cannot be released. Filmmakers will definitely complain, but this is the national condition, you have to adapt. Horror movies generally have factors such as small cost, exciting stories, and huge box office potential. If we reject horror movies, it means that a considerable number of viewers will be refused outside the cinema."

Speaking of this, a reporter pointed at several people who were suspected to be leaders of the Radio and Television Bureau.

They looked grim and didn't know if they were really listening.

"The domestic movie types are now more war movies and feature films. Of course, you will feel bored if you watch too many, and the loss of audience is inevitable. If I am an ordinary audience, I also hope to see more and more movies, and then I am very impressed with Hollywood blockbusters with endless new styles. We have a long history, and various costume film themes of the Qin, Han and Three Kingdoms can be filmed continuously, and martial arts elements are our unique themes. There are too many directions to choose."

"At the beginning of the reform and opening up in 1981, the great director Yang Jie and CCTV were going to film Journey to the West among the four classics. Someone jumped out at that time, saying that CCTV was superstitious and monsters confusing the hearts of the people. CCTV faced heavy pressure and began to film Journey to the West in 1982, and it was not until 1986 that it achieved results. Until now, Journey to the West is not only well-known in China, but also made a fortune in CCTV, but also promoted the world the profound art and culture of China."

"CCTV dares to innovate and go through unusual paths. He has to do things that others cannot imagine. So he succeeded and became the first person to take the lead. It is also CCTV, which has made it known to all major film studios across the country that crabs can be eaten, not only are the meat delicious and nutritious value also high. This is innovation!"

"A rich theme can encourage the imagination of the film industry. If the theme is novel and conscientiously produced, success will naturally follow."

This passage was quite well-informed, and even Zhang Yimou and others were nodding secretly.

"Secondly, the film industry is not just about making movies."

"To be a film industry, it's not just about being an actor."

"A complete film industry needs to have a continuous improvement in the film industry as a foundation. Take the popular cameras nowadays. We often use cameras made in Germany, the United States, and Japan because their cameras have good performance. And our country does not even have a company specializing in camera production."

"A complete movie, including editing, photography, music, costumes, props, makeup, special effects and other links. If you run all over the actors, you will only die in a narrow alley in the end. Our movies urgently need other talents. If you can lower your ideals a little, and first engage in the film-related industry, it is very easy to enter the industry, and you won't starve to death after leaving the school gate."

"Everyone knows that my success was because I got on the DreamWorks line. But how did I get on the DreamWorks? There must be many people who are curious about it."

Sure enough, nodding, and even some careless people who were just preaching, they also sounded tilted.

Chen Tian smiled, "It's no big deal. In fact, it's the result of a speculator trying his best to do something. I wrote the script and contributed it everywhere. I used all the means to inquire about the contact information of various film companies and contributed to their companies. Of course, I wouldn't just write one script. I used to have a lot of submissions. When I was in China, I was very determined and wanted to attract investment and invite investors. The coal bosses drank and had a lot of losses. I also drank it and were admitted to the hospital after drinking and eating.

Many reporters' eyes lit up, and they took a few photos, "This is insider news, and they just said it straightforwardly." The reporters were very excited, and they didn't know whether to say that this young man was childish or honest.

"Then I thought of Hong Kong, where there were countless film companies. I submitted to Hong Kong, but unfortunately I took it for granted. No one cared about my contributions, and there was no reply. Once I learned that director Spielberg wanted to make a World War II film, so I looked up all kinds of information and put it into his preferences. Finally, I wrote a decent English World War II script, which is "Save the Soldier Ryan."

"Baobababababababababa~~" The students who have watched "Save Soldier Ryan" below all responded with warm applause.

Chen Tianduo pressed his hands and said, "This method of success is almost unreplicable. Fortunately, I am lucky. This is also the reason for writing "Save Private Ryan". A very simple fact is that I am about to graduate. I knew I had to do something at that time because I was about to graduate. Many students in the Film Academy were equivalent to unemployed as soon as they graduated, especially in the director department. I need to eat and I need to make money, otherwise I would have empty pockets when I wanted to invite her to watch a movie when I picked up girls."

"So I would like to give you some advice, first enter the industry, and then talk about your ideals."

Many people nodded at it. This sentence is indeed very pertinent. I am afraid that those who are ambitious will achieve nothing in the end.

Chen Tiandu raised his third finger and said, "Further, the importance of adequate preparation and careful production."

"Chinese films have never lacked works that win awards internationally. Directors Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Jiang Wen, these film masters are the treasures of our Chinese film industry. But after all, masters are a few, and there are very few filmmakers who can become masters. If others cannot win awards, they will not be famous, and they will not be able to gain attention even if they make movies. What should I do?"

"The answer is to make it carefully and create movies that audiences like to watch."

"I have a master here today. I may offend people if I say the following words, but please forgive my youthful ignorance and just treat me as a small man. I have to say what I should say, after all, this is one of the most important moments in my life."

He looked apologetically at a corner of the auditorium. Several leaders looked at each other, and even the principal began to feel nervous. "What do he want to say? Don't do it randomly."

Chen Tian was relaxed, "I want to say that the audience is the foundation. Many master-level works that have won awards seem to be high and weak. No matter how well they are filmed, it is useless. People don't like to watch this type. This is also an important factor that accelerates the weakening of domestic films. Winning the award is a great thing, bringing glory to the country, and the country will report it. People will hear that Chinese movies have won international awards more than once, but they just don't want to go to the cinema to watch. Why? Is it really because the people are bored with domestic movies? I don't think so. If there are good domestic movies, will you pay for movies in the cinema?"

The students under the seat received sporadic answers, "Yes, of course I will go and see."

Chen Tian looked at the one with the loudest voice, which was Zhang Ziyi and the others. There were several shots that were maliciously aimed at Zhang Yimou, which made Lao Mouzi a little embarrassed.

"Of course I'll go and watch it!" Chen Tiandu replied loudly, saying, "But what kind of movies will attract audiences?"

Many people were inspired by this question and listened to him in anticipation.

There are also some people who are disdainful, such as yelling, bragging without making drafts.

"Hmph, what do you say?!"

However, Chen Tiandu's answer was once again beyond expectations.
