Chapter 153 The Contribution of the Seniors
When it comes to current Chinese movies, I have to mention a few people.
Of course, Han Sanye is ranked first!
Third Master, the big brother in the Chinese film industry.
Someone has counted that at the Oscars, the distribution celebrity Weinstein was thanked more than God. At the Huabiao Awards, Han Sanye was definitely thanked more than Weinstein.
He led Chinese films from almost zero box office to hundreds of millions of box office to billions of box office to tens of billions of box office to now tens of billions of box office, achieving a triple jump of Chinese films. His main contribution was to achieve the leap from the planned economy to the market economy, so that Chinese films could keep up with the overall pace of China's economic reform.
In addition, the third master is helpful, especially the director. Feng Xiaogang, Ning Hao, Lao Xu and others are all respectful and grateful to the third master.
People only know that Feng Xiaogang created the Chinese film New Year's Eve, and Han Sanye is the real military advisor behind the scenes.
Just after the Spring Festival in 1997, the third master called the frustrated Feng Xiaogang into the office and asked him to film a comedy, which was "Party A and Party B". The investment of 6 million yuan successfully achieved a box office of 33 million yuan, and successfully created the New Year's Eve in the mainland.
The subsequent "Endless" was also asked by Mr. Han San to film. At that time, Feng Xiaogang was still a promising young man. He wanted to film "Lost My Love forever", "A Round of Feathers", and "Back of the Moon" with realistic critical works...
After the filming of Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone", there was no distribution company that wanted to do it. It was Han Sanye who came forward to publish it by Zhongying. The 9 million yuan he earned and the 2 million yuan he "renewed" was handed over to Ning Hao to start filming "Crazy Racing", and the box office exceeded 100 million yuan.
Therefore, Ning Hao's subsequent films have been invested by China Film. After the Third Master withdrew, Ning Hao stopped playing with China Film...
Not to mention Lao Xu, she wanted to film "Du Lala's Promotion" and no one invested, but the third master trusted her and invested her...
In a sense, the past fifteen years have been the 15 years that the Third Master has manipulated Chinese films, and has great fame. Since it is "manipulation", there are fame and fortune, and of course there are inside stories that cannot be ashamed of the sun. This is due to the character of the Jianghu people.
normal.
Film industry research expert Yin Hong once commented on Han Sanping's greatest contribution: "The structure he gave to China Film Group this business model has enabled the largest state-owned group to truly develop in the direction of industrialization and also promoted the industrialization of China's films."
Robert Kane, an expert in Chinese film industry in Hollywood, said: His status in China is equivalent to the sum of Jack Valenti (former president of the American Film Association), Lou Wassern (formerly head of Universal Pictures) and Steven Spielberg...
It seems that in those years, the third master was so awesome!
Time flies. As the film market expands, with the rise of private companies, and with the surge in Hollywood blockbusters from 20 to 34, Sanye's influence in the martial arts world will gradually decline.
The Third Master is old, the world has changed, there are so many things, insider information is frequently seen, and the evening is no longer safe...
As soon as Xiao Cui fired, he bombarded the entire movie circle, including the stories Han Sanye, the Sanye and Sanye and Sanye must tell...
The surface of the rivers and lakes is turbulent, and the undercurrents are surging deep. The third master may slowly abdicate from a man to become a condo.
The second place should be Zhang Weipin!
To be honest, the blockbuster era was mainly created by him and Zhang Yimou!
"Titanic" sounded the alarm for a group of major domestic directors. It turned out that the audience was not unwilling to watch movies, but they were just unwilling to watch dull art films!
So, I began to transform and shoot commercial productions!
With the development of the economy and the prosperity of the film market, the artistic film atmosphere of the country was originally weak and the micro market was small at that time, and it would inevitably be dispersed by the surging commercial atmosphere. This is an inevitable law of market development and no one can stop it.
Only those who follow it can survive and make progress.
Of course, from the history of film development, Mr. Zhang is still quite a bit of praise. Although his reputation has always been on a downward trend after he started the era of blockbusters in domestic films, he has to admit that he still made great contributions to the commercialization and production of domestic films!
Zhang Weipin called him along the way!
He made eleven movies of Zhang Yimou, starting from the first "My Father and Mother" to the last "The Flowers of War with Jinling".
It was Lao Zhang who increased the share of the Chinese film production industry from 35% to 43%, one point a year and one point per film.
Once, "The Flowers of War" was about to be worth 45%, but Yu Dong intercepted it. The latter's "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" took the initiative to give money to theaters...
Also, he was the first to take a plane and pull Zhang Yimou to premiere;
The first is to hold a premiere at the Workers' Sports concert;
The first is to replace many real estate signs across the country with movie posters;
The first one exchanged various resources for commercial advertisements at the airport.
It can be said that today's movie marketing routines are basically the rest of Lao Zhang's play!
Zhang Weipin has been away from the world for eight years. China's number of screens has long been the world's largest, but the accounting ratio remains at 43%. No one dares to touch the cake of the theater...
Miss Lao Zhang...
Feng Xiaogang is ranked third.
Due to the issue of contracts of all sizes, many people began to criticize the few people who named Xiao Cui, especially Feng Xiaogang, who had a deeper relationship with Xiao Cui, became the target of public criticism!
A bunch of public accounts even called him a scumbag by name - it catered to the psychology of many netizens...
Don’t rush to scold, let’s see his contribution!
The first to enter the commercial film field was Feng Xiaogang. In 1999, Feng Xiaogang also opened up an era of Chinese films - the New Year's Eve!
It can be said that in Chinese commercial films, Feng Xiaogang was the first to take the lead and a banner figure. The emergence of the concept of the New Year holiday also laid the foundation for the subsequent National Day holiday and summer holidays.
His film styles are very different. In the environment at that time, it gave people a completely whimsical feeling. He was a director with a strong sense of civilian consciousness. He had a sense of intimacy among the most ordinary citizens. He mostly expressed the ideals of citizens from the perspective of civilians, satisfies the psychological desires and consumption requirements of the citizens to the greatest extent, catered to the psychological interests and moral tendencies of ordinary people, brought happiness to people and also triggered thinking about society.
He pioneered another way of narrative in Chinese films.
It can be said that in the early years, Feng Xiaogang took on the banner of "New Year's Comedy", brought new ideas to Chinese films, and injected a stream of heart-warming agents into the sluggish Chinese films of that era. They have far-reaching significance for the development of Chinese films and the promotion of film culture.
And in that era, he created the golden sign of Feng's comedy.
In addition to popular works, the most obvious characteristic of Director Feng is that he is the first-class "mouth" and is tempted by the sky, earth and air. There are countless people he has criticized in the circle, including movies, TV, culture, variety shows, and when will Director Feng lose when he speaks?
But only one person became his exception.
This person is Xiao Cui, another male protagonist who broke the "yin and yang contract" in the entertainment industry some time ago, pushing "Mobile Phone 2" to the wave.
Faced with the continuous public opinion shells thrown by Xiao Cui, Feng Xiaogang chose to respond silently from beginning to end. He thought, "Don't look! Don't listen! Don't say! Don't think!" Liu'er purity can be attained by the supreme Bodhi, and by responding to all changes, you can pass this level by unchanging.
It's very difficult...
Everyone pushed him down. Zhang Yimou was scolded as a sieve after filming "Three Guns" that year, so he later filmed "The Flowers of War" and was obviously a good movie, but he was still criticized...
By the way, he also shook out a lot of bad things about Lao Zhang. Fortunately, Lao Zhang had no worries, except for having a few more children.
Director Feng, tsk…
Romantic person!
No one is perfect...
However, the contribution of these three people to Chinese films can almost be said to set the tone of the current stage. Without their contribution, the audience would not have entered the cinema at all!
Chapter completed!
