"Mr. Xia, since you can see so clearly, do you have a solution?" Zhang Yimou asked with concern.

He is a mainland filmmaker, so he naturally doesn't want mainland movies to collapse. He wants to try any chance of life.

"Although I can see clearly, I have no choice." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "Reform always requires a process of pain, which is inevitable for no one, and I don't think it should be avoided either.

Survive in the world, and survive the fittest. Those who can adapt to the development of the times will benefit a lot from reform. Those who cannot adapt to the changes of the times will only be eliminated, and there will be no good results even if they are forced to do so."

If the mainland film industry is still in the planned economic model and unified purchase and sales, there is indeed no need to worry about the collapse. However, the movies produced in this way have low quality, outdated content, and unearthable, and cannot meet the public's cultural and entertainment needs at all.

Moreover, this business model will increase the burden on the country. Many works produced by film factories are not sold at all and rely entirely on state financial support.

But the country's money was not caused by strong winds, especially in the 1990s, when the country was busy developing the economy, every part of the world had great use and could not give much money to the film company.

Therefore, the mainland film industry must reform, shift from a planned economy to a market economy, allowing audiences to vote and box office talk.

Directors who can produce works that satisfy the audience will benefit from this change.

For example, Feng Xiaogang, his Feng's comedy was one of the few box office players in the mainland from the late 1990s to the early 21st century, and could compete with Hong Kong and European and American movies. This wild director also became the box office guarantee for the mainland film industry, comparable to directors such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.

On the contrary, those directors who cannot cater to the needs of the market will eventually be eliminated by the market even if they have the qualifications and qualifications before.

For example, Xie Jin, the most outstanding director in the 1980s and 1990s in the mainland, was hailed as a Chinese contemporary film master, and won the Golden Rooster Award for Lifetime Achievement, the Shanghai International Film Festival Outstanding Art Achievement Award, etc. Even Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen and others had to hold the disciple etiquette in front of him.

But such a great character was abandoned by the times because he could not adapt to the development of the times. Like the Fuso movie Emperor Akira Kurosawa, he has a high status and works, but no one dared to ask him to film.

Although Director Xie’s situation is regrettable, Xia Tian knew that this was a necessary stage of reform.

Survival of the fittest is an irrefutable truth.

Don’t say that Director Xie is just an outstanding director in China, and the founder of the movie, D. Griffith, too, because of the box office of a movie, no one dared to film, and eventually died of poverty?

In this industry, money has always been spoken of, and there are not so many favors to talk about.

Your movies make money, and your movies will be more contracts, and it will be delicious if you put x.

When Bruce Lee was the pillar of Jiahe, he drove the only Rolls-Royce in Jiahe. Even the boss Zou Wenhuai had to ride a Mercedes-Benz, and he had to coax him and serve him like an old man.

If your movies are not profitable, and if you don’t sell three movies, you will be unable to make money in the circle immediately.

For example, Sergio Leon, who filmed the "Doctor Trilogy", lost money because of "The Past of the United States", and was immediately sent to the cold palace by the producer until he died of depression.

...

After hearing what he said, everyone nodded, thinking that what he said made sense.

To reform, there must be sacrifices, which is difficult to avoid.

Whether you can be spared depends on your own strength and luck.

"What about cracking down on the thief?" Chen Kaige asked again, "As far as I know, there seems to be no thief in Europe and the United States."

"Yes, there are indeed few thieves in Europe and the United States. But this is the result of their development for nearly a hundred years and their continuous strengthening of the rule of law. Now, both relevant laws and police force configurations in mainland China do not meet the standards. It is basically impossible to eradicate thieves." Xia Tian waved his hand.

The Mainland did not promulgate the Copyright Protection Law until 1991, and did not become a member of the "Berne Convention on the Protection of Literature and Art Works" and the "World Copyright Convention" in 1992. The "Decision on Punishing Crimes of Copyright Infringement" was not passed in 1994, and the "crime of infringement of intellectual property rights" was added to the Criminal Code in 1997.

The formulation of the law is so backward, let alone the intensity of execution.

In the past life, due to the prevalence of the Internet, there were countless infringing resources on the Internet, and it was impossible to manage them. Today, a website of thief was sealed, and ten or twenty were emerging tomorrow.

Renting a server and registering a domain name will not cost much money at all. However, the advertising fees collected by the website are enough to make up for the losses that were seized, so many people enjoy it.

"And you still remember, what is the main contradiction in our country now?" Xia Tian looked at everyone and asked.

Everyone was stunned by his question and shook their heads in confusion.

"The main contradiction in our country is the contradiction between the people's growing material and cultural needs and backward social production." Xia Tian shook his head when he saw this, and then said to everyone.

This sentence was a must-answer question for junior and senior high school back then, and it was also a must-have question. More than ten years have passed, and he still remembers it vividly.

After hearing Xia Tian say this, the mainland filmmakers present couldn't help but show an awkward expression.

In fact, they seemed to have heard of this sentence before, but no one took it to heart. Unexpectedly, a Hong Kong man in Xia Tian was even more clear than they knew, which was really embarrassing.

"If you want to meet the material and cultural needs of 1.3 billion people, do you rely on genuine products? How much does it cost? Who will pay for this money? Can the priests afford it? Can the people afford it? Will not engage in the thief business?" Xia Tian sighed.

Although it is unethical to thief, there is no need to hide it. It is indeed because of thief that cultural knowledge can be widely popularized in the mainland.

Otherwise, how can ordinary people afford genuine books that cost dozens of yuan per book, how can they afford games that cost dozens of yuan per game, how can they afford CDs that cost more than ten yuan per picture... let alone genuine operating systems worth hundreds of yuan.

If you force yourself to buy genuine versions, I'm afraid not many people in China can afford personal computers. After all, the operating system is genuine and the application software must be genuine. Just a window operating system plus office software will cost nearly 1,000 yuan. Not to mention commercial software such as ps, illustrator, audition, and premiere. With all the supporting facilities, the software is much more expensive than hardware.

Of course, this is not to say that Tuozaka is right. It was just that when the mainland economy was underdeveloped, Tuozaka was indeed a last resort.

When everyone heard him say this, they sighed.

Reform requires sacrifices, and the Thieves cannot be eradicated. The future of mainland movies is really dark.

"Mr. Xia, what do you think we should do?" Zhang Yimou asked.

"The wind and rain are like darkness, and the roosters crow. At this time, we can only do our duty well. The more difficult it is, the more we must persevere. The sun always comes after the wind and rain." Xia Tian smiled and said, "Come on, everyone, everyone encourages you!"
