Chapter 0133 Invest in Lunar New Year dramas and get involved in the entertainment industry
"1997 has passed, I miss it very much, this sentence is very interesting." Wan Xinglong, Ji Ziyu and Cui Ning talked happily against several celebrities in the literary and artistic circles.
"Maybe after 20 years, I will feel more touched when I watch this film." The director of this film is a middle-aged director born in Longdu City. He has just stepped into the threshold of 40 years old, with the humor of Longdu people and the vicissitudes of intellectual youth.
"Party A and Party B" has created at least two "firsts" in the history of Longguo's films: the first film shot for a specific period since 1949; the first film adopts the "risk sharing" form in which the director does not receive a pay but receives a commission in the film's profit. Our investors like this form." Wan Xinglong was very touched.
"Director Feng is the father of New Year's films," said Ji Ziyu, "I have watched this movie twice, and it really brings out the humor of our Longdu just right."
"I'm going to shoot another New Year's drama this year," said Director Feng. "It's also a humorous style, but it's about love."
"Then we are looking forward to it. The key is that I think about investing, we can do it together," said Wan Xinglong. "We also came into contact with an incident some time ago. Several girls were so scared that they almost got into trouble when they watched horror movies. So we also thought about investing in more relaxed and humorous themes, which would be beneficial to society."
"If you invest, I'll participate too," Ji Ziyu said. "Although my homepage is not film and television entertainment, after watching "Party A and Party B", I feel that this business cannot be lost."
"Then let's say it, please support me." Director Feng bowed to the audience one by one. "Two or three ordinary people, both salty and non-simple jokes, interesting plots. I'm very "stingy", small themes, small productions. I appreciate both the elite and the masses, this is my style."
"I didn't think about winning any awards internationally?" The question was about the boss of another cultural institution and had some cooperation with well-known domestic directors.
"We are just a small person, we want to be happy when we live. Whether to win awards or not is a trivial matter. A hero is the box office." Director Feng's mouth is full of Mandarin, which is very upset. "Maybe I'm really inflated one day. If I want to shoot an international blockbuster, I will probably be scolded to death by the audience."
"Director Feng is *" Wan Xinglong smiled and said, "I have made a promise to you as a friend."
"Drink together, eat skewers, and eat dumplings together." Director Feng continued to bow. "Everyone, I won't talk about the big truth. This time I came to attend this conference and regarded film and television dramas as an industry. Especially when I met the big leader, I was so scared that I was just a small director, so everything was pointing to various support and support more."
While chatting, Minister Zhao Tianlang, Mr. Jiang, and two secretary walked into the room where the discussion was discussed.
After signaling everyone to sit down, Minister Zhao said:
"Cultural is a big event, and it is related to ideology. Therefore, this conference specially invited teachers and experts from the cultural industry to come, including some representatives of investment companies. The purpose is to provide convenience for everyone and produce more and better works."
"What the masses like is good works. "Water Margin", one of the four great classics, was also released at the beginning of the year. The response is very good, proving that our Dragon Kingdom culture, including history, has works worth shooting."
"But I'm here this time, I have a question to communicate with you. Regarding the introduction of foreign blockbusters, I wonder what your attitude is?"
"We were still discussing this issue just now." Wan Xinglong was the first to answer, "Last year's Oriental Horror Film "Midnight Bell" is definitely a good movie, but the theme is too horrible and our country does not have a rating system, so we still need to focus on introducing it in the future."
"The key is to face the entry into the WTO, and introducing videos is also the general trend. Otherwise, it is possible to make a real population internationally," said Ji Ziyu, "so this is not only a cultural exchange issue, but also involves international relations."
"Aren't there a well-known director here? Director Feng Da, why don't you talk?" Minister Zhao half-jokingly pointed.
"Minister, you are kind. I am just a little director, not well-known. Moreover, I am a director. I only know how to shoot videos, and I don't know anything else."
"Just tell the truth, don't have any scruples. There is no problem with speaking here, and there is no need to worry about media reports." Minister Zhao laughed and said, "No one dares to report without my permission."
Director Feng scratched his head: "I think it is better to use the market to solve the problem. For example, there are also good movies abroad, so it should be introduced. Only when there are more good movies can audiences be willing to enter the cinema and prosper the entire market. In fact, I personally think that there are indeed places worth learning from in the Meiguo films."
Minister Zhao nodded and looked at Cui Ning:
"Xiao Cui, you are also a cultural industry. I also named you a consultant. You have to say a few words."
Cui Ning nodded to Minister Zhao to show respect, thought for a while, and said:
"I am born in the 1970s. When we were young, many of them had TV in their families, and many of the cartoons and TV series they introduced first came from the Eastern countries, such as "The Smart Ikki", "Blood Suspicion", "Ashin", "Volleyball Female", "Iron Arm Astro Boy", "Dinosaur Special Ksai", etc. I believe many people present still remember it freshly.
We have to face the fact that these TV series and cartoons are really good. Even today, they are still classics. In addition, the quality of electrical appliances in the East China is good, and they are also advertised on TV earlier, which has led to a general understanding that the things in the East China are really good.
The formation of this kind of cognition is also unconscious. From the perspective of the market, it is understandable and normal. Good is good, and it is worth learning from us. This question cannot be avoided.
In the business world, including the management of Dongyang Kingdom, there are places worth learning from, including the companies I once worked for, Hailan Group, and many of the management experiences I have learned from Dongyang Kingdom.
Before Mr. Ni of the Rainbow Group launched a TV price war, most of our country's TV market was occupied by the East, including cars, washing machines, etc., and they were also products of the East.
I don’t think that using products from other countries is to admire foreign countries, or even admire foreign countries, is not necessarily a bad thing. Knowing our shortcomings can just arouse our competitive spirit and have the motivation to move forward.
But from the perspective of culture, education, and national enterprise development, we must have our own good things to talk about competition and market freedom. Otherwise, cultural invasion is a very terrible thing, so terrible that we will lose the pride and honor of the country.
I don’t oppose introduction, or even large-scale introduction, but I hope our country has better enterprises, better films, better directors and better products, and then hand over everything to the audience and users. Otherwise, I can only look up to it and be passively eliminated by the market."
Mr. Jiang nodded straight, "Although the four words "cultural aggression" are not very good, they do tell the actual situation. After the end of the Cold War, countries were no longer just weapons wars, but more of wars between economy, culture and commerce. But at present, we are not doing well."
"The reasons for the bad are many aspects." Minister Zhao also deeply felt "Like Xiao Cui said, in the 1980s, I also thought that Oriental domestic products and TV series were good. This is a subtle influence, affecting a whole generation, or even two generations."
"Now, our director is no worse than the directors of the Eastern Kingdoms. This leader needs to give us time," said Director Feng. "Only the people in the Long Kingdom truly understand the people in the Long Kingdom. This will become more and more obvious in movies and culture."
"This is the reason," Minister Zhao nodded. "However, we have approved a film of Meiguo to be released in China this year. It is estimated that next month. This is a very good-looking film, which is very touching. I suggest that you have time to watch it. It is the "Titanic" that has changed according to real events in history."
"The people of Meiguo are good at large productions, and their skills are mature," said director Feng Xiaoguang. "But both large productions and small productions will produce good works. The key is to give us the space to create."
"Please rest assured about this. We not only want to give everyone a creative space, but also actively support everyone from a policy perspective." Minister Zhao said, "Director Feng, I also look forward to your new New Year film."
Cui Ning is a person who likes to study and research. When she returned to the office, she took a look at some news about the movie "Titanic" and the real Titanic incident in history.
"Titanic" is a romantic film produced by Charming Twentieth Century Fox Film Company and Paramount Pictures. It is directed by James Cameron and starred by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
The film is set in 1912 when the Titanic cruise ship hit a rock and sank while its virgin set sail. It tells the touching story of two poor painters Jack and aristocratic daughter Ruth who abandoned worldly prejudice and fell in love. In the end, Jack gave up his chance to life to Ruth. The film was released in Meiguo on December 19, 1997 and received extremely high industry evaluation.
Of course, Cui Ning is not only concerned with these, but a familiar name, Fox Film Company, which has an exact same name as Fox Wealth Rankings.
After repeated in-depth research, Cui Ning found that behind both the film company and the wealth rankings, there is actually the shadow of the Roscheld family.
This can only prove that the Roscheld family's business is too big, and the whole world is their career map.
Of course, from the perspective of cultural invasion, Cui Ning vaguely felt that the Roscheld family was exporting certain seemingly correct values, including world-renowned directors and famous film and television companies, which were actually tools of their family.
However, when Cui Ning reported some of his research conclusions to Mr. Jiang and Mr. Zhuge, the two of them were rarely serious.
