Chapter 264 Say a few words
As I said before, Li Yuan did not know the inside story at this time.
Therefore, after hearing these words, Li Yuan couldn't think too much. He just sighed in his heart: Taking advantage of loopholes will not last long. Finally, someone discovered this loophole.
Moreover, Li Yuan had a mentality of "I'm lucky if I gain something, but I'll lose my life" when it comes to this program at Yequan Cinema. He was already mentally prepared to be banned.
It is indeed a bit regretful, but is it really a pity? That’s it. Is there anything you can’t bear to say? Isn’t that too underestimated? Isn’t it just that there is one less opportunity to buy a courtyard house and collect antiques? In the future, this will happen
There are many opportunities to make money.
Sure enough, as the first person spoke, more and more people joined in the criticism. They all suggested that the film review system needs to be strengthened, and TV stations should not be left as a lawless place; and that films imported from overseas should also be banned.
We must strictly guard against stubbornness and support domestic film and television dramas...
In addition, there are some trivial things. Like: standardizing the performing arts market; comprehensively improving the quality and cultivation of young actors; strengthening support for pure arts...
Anyway, they are all very correct nonsense, and they are basically aimed at young actors. But this is not surprising. Those old artists have no brains, how can they target themselves? Anyway, these words are not wrong, they are politically correct.
Well! It will never become outdated or inconsistent in a few decades.
There is no doubt that the most unlucky ones are those young actors, who have been educated again for no reason. But what right to speak do those young people have? They can't even say a word of objection. But after a few decades, today's young actors finally
After becoming old artists, they will also have "strict requirements" for young actors and read these nonsense again.
Isn't that what happens when a little daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law?
After discussing this topic, they then began to discuss the latest film "Infernal Affairs."
In a symposium like this, the degree of freedom of topics is relatively high. In fact, it is just a group of people sitting together and talking about a lot of things. There is no very clear topic, just talk about it.
But what those people were talking about was not about film reviews, but breaking the rules - the movie was not shown in mainland cinemas, but was directly broadcast on TV stations?
So what should people in the cinema eat in the future? This trend must not last, and it also needs to be strictly stopped...
…
It's very interesting. Even when criticizing in person, people in the cultural circle don't like to be very direct. What matters is being subtle. Anyone who can understand can understand. Those who can't understand, you are not in our circle.
.
But in the eyes of others, the intensity of this criticism is already very serious, right?
Banning imported films from overseas, banning Yequan Cinema, and banning TV broadcast channels, this is tantamount to directly making money for bad people!
And we still called Li Yuan to the scene and told you face to face - we just want to destroy your money!
Just ask, if another idiot encountered this situation, who wouldn't be furious? This is almost equivalent to face-to-face humiliation.
However, as an audience member, Li Yuan... basically didn't feel anything. What's more interesting is that he was not from the circle at all and didn't understand it at all?
Let me tell you something. It's not that your criticism method is wrong, but that the money that was lost is too little. Since it's just scratching the surface, how could it possibly arouse Li Yuan's emotions?
So as we talked, it gradually became a bit embarrassing. There was no response at all from the unilateral output? Are those old artists also feeling uncomfortable?
Moreover, Li Yuan secretly hid in the corner, and many people did not recognize him at all. This was even more boring. Many people thought that Li Yuan had not come at all, and it felt like firing anti-aircraft cannons into the air.
As time went by, this wave of criticism dissipated. The topic changed again, and it returned to the classic quarrel in the film and television industry at this time - we want art movies! Not commercial movies!
To be honest, there has been a long debate about this topic, both at home and abroad, in the media and privately, and later on the Internet. And the debate will continue, and there will be no result even after decades.
.We may continue to quarrel for hundreds of years.
This is like many historical texts in current works of art, which may feel interesting, fresh, curious, and even romantic.
But you can ask your older parents, who lived in that era. Ask them if they still want to go back to that romantic era? I will give you a big slap in the face!
That's the truth.
Therefore, those old artists are unanimously opposed to the marketization and commercialization of the film and television industry:
"...In the creation of film and television dramas, there is no need to look at money. The responsibility of our literary and artistic workers is..."
"...I am personally disgusted with some young people nowadays. They have gone astray in film and television dramas, songs, and other forms of artistic performance. They need..."
"...I think the right way is to win foreign awards, especially film awards. This will not only..."
"..."
The people on the stage were chatting, and Li Yuan below was listening with great interest.
In my previous life, as we entered the Internet era, there was a process of the rise of the common people. Public opinion in the cultural circle could no longer cover the sky with one hand, and commercialization and marketization had become the general trend.
And when introducing this era, they always talk about the stubborn conservative forces. But they never imagined that this force would be so huge?
But on the other hand, Li Yuan also secretly observed Director Meng and the others. These supervisors kept a polite fake smile, and some of them with poor acting skills even showed a trace of impatience.
Suddenly, Li Yuan suddenly realized. Mainstream public opinion is mainstream public opinion, but the competent authorities are not fools. If there is no commercialization and marketization, will the box office fall from the sky?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It can be seen that the current situation is more interesting. In fact, Director Meng and others want to market, but they can't stand the loud voices of these old artists?
It is completely different from the descriptions in those Chinese entertainment articles. The competent authorities want to open up and reform. Instead, it is the old artists who are holding back.
Just for one reason - they also want political achievements! They also want high box office!
No matter whether it is a literary film or a commercial film, as long as it can bring in box office, they will support it!
Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Yuan felt a secret feeling of unveiling a historical mystery. Moreover, he could not feel the passage of time, and soon came to the end of the symposium.
Director Meng took over the chair again, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, and seemed very satisfied with today's meeting: "Comrades all said very well, and we also received a lot of opinions and suggestions. Does anyone have any new ideas?
? Speak freely, we will never wear small shoes here? "
After looking around, Director Meng suddenly said: "The young comrade behind you should be Li Yuan, right? You also need to speak boldly, just say a few words!"
Following Director Meng's gaze, everyone looked at Li Yuan. Director Meng also introduced with a smile, "Comrade Li Yuan is very young despite his age. He has a very famous pen name, Brother Yuan. Yes! Brother Yuan is him.
.Hahaha……"
This is also the old routine of this kind of symposium. Before the end, give the person being criticized a chance to speak.
The saying of low emotional intelligence - gives you a chance to admit your mistakes and start a new life!
The saying of high emotional intelligence - Feng Shui is changing. Why offend people to death? Maybe you will be a poor boy. Therefore, you will be given a chance to defend yourself. And you will also have a reputation for opening up your opinions.
Of course, if you give up this opportunity, or surrender with your hands in tears, no one will care about you.
Anyway, it only takes a few words, and then the meeting can be declared over.
Of course Li Yuan doesn't know this. Since he is asked to speak, then... say a few words!
"Director Meng, you are very polite. You are all seniors I respect very much. You can call me Yuanzi from now on. Let me introduce myself first. Now I serve as the art director of Yuan Universe. Yuan Universe is a company registered in Hong Kong.
A film and television group committed to comprehensive development in Hong Kong and the Mainland. It has also acquired Hong Kong film companies such as Debao, Golden Princess, and New Art City..."
To be honest, people here don't know much about the basic situation of the Metaverse. After all, they are all old artists who have taken a back seat, and their information is not that well-informed.
Instead, Director Meng smiled and said: "Yuanzi, since we mentioned that your Yuan Universe is a Hong Kong company. Our mainland film and television industry cannot operate behind closed doors. Can you introduce the situation there? We can also broaden our horizons and learn from each other's strengths. Haha."
"I want to say one thing first - our mainland's film and television industry is too inefficient and has very little content. Let's talk about Hong Kong. They produce as many as 5,600 movies every year and a lot of TV series. Not only can they satisfy the local needs
The market can also be exported in large quantities. In European and American countries, take Hollywood as an example! They produce more than 1,000 movies every year. And..."
In this era, the domestic film and television industry is not divided. Unlike later, dramas despised movies, movies despised TV, and TV despised online dramas. There is a chain of contempt. Therefore, when movies and TV series are discussed, they are often placed on the
Together. And the director, actors and other main creators don't care, there will be no contempt at all.
As for why Li Yuan mentioned production efficiency? Is there a lack of content? Isn’t that the actual situation? And this topic is not very sensitive. Would it be wrong to make more movies and TV series?
However, the people present were a little curious, and Director Meng asked on their behalf: "They shoot so many movies and TV series every year, do anyone watch them?"
"The situation of TV series is quite special. Foreign countries generally use the form of filming every season. That is, three months, that is, one quarter is one season, and one episode is broadcast every week. Generally, one season is about 10 episodes. In case the ratings of this TV series
If it is very high, they will continue filming season after season, and some may even last for more than ten years; if it is not good enough, that is, the ratings are not up to standard, they will directly cut it off. Or if a character is not popular, the same
It will make the screenwriter write it to death."
"Is it based on ratings?"
"That's right! With a week as a buffer, the director and screenwriter can make changes directly. In other words, as many episodes as you shoot can be broadcast. But in fact, more TV series will be cut."
"What about movies?"
"It definitely can't accommodate so many movies. There are only so many movie theaters, and there are only more than 100 movies that can be released every year. Hollywood may have more, but it will never exceed 200. But the goal of many movies is not to go to the theater
Lines. Some are just for the release of video tapes, and some are directly handed over to TV stations for broadcast..."
Regarding the situation of the foreign film and television industry, the situation in each country is different, and some have legal restrictions, such as: "Paramount Law", etc. Here, Li Yuan cannot introduce in detail, he can only introduce some
basic situation.
"...and what about our country? Whether it is TV series or movies, there is a serious gap problem. Let's talk about Yequan Cinema! Isn't it because the TV station lacks content, and is it possible to fill the time slot with movies? Isn't it a domestic film and television company?
There are too few dramas, is it possible to broadcast those imported films from overseas?"
Director Meng and the others laughed, causing others to laugh: "Yuanzi, it turns out you have selfish motives? Do you want to intercede for your Yequan Cinema?"
"I don't have such an idea." Li Yuan said with a smile, "To put it on the table, if the industry wants to develop healthily, it must strictly implement rules and regulations. So how will the leaders deal with it? Even in our Yuanverse, we don't know how to do it.
I object to it. I even admit that it is closed down. But the lack of content exists objectively and cannot be turned a blind eye. So I have a few ideas: On the one hand, it is to strengthen the review work. Some excellent overseas films cannot be one size fits all. At least this transition can be guaranteed.
period; on the other hand, since the audience likes to watch movies broadcast on TV stations, they can choose to use some of the content of domestic films..."
Li Yuan suddenly thought, it seems that the Sixth Princess has not been established yet, right?
So he said: "Director Meng, I have an immature idea..."
"It doesn't matter, just say whatever you want."
"Can a special movie channel be set up? This itself has a huge market demand, and it also has additional income derived from movies. Movies selected by the movie channel can pay a sum of money to the studio. This can also reduce the cost of the movie studio.
burden?"
"Huh?" Everyone's eyes lit up, including Director Meng. No one here would object to increasing the income of domestic films. There were also several staff members who began to record Li Yuan's
idea.
At this moment, no one has noticed that Li Yuan has unknowingly gotten rid of the position of being criticized and entered the discussion on an equal footing.
"Xiao Li, are there any more?"
