Chapter 1192 There are so many questions
As for seminars, the leader’s speech is bound to be indispensable.
What's more, this is a seminar that may cause great changes to the cultural field. The top leaders attach great importance to it. Those attending the conference are either big directors or the heads of various cultural units, big film studios, and local film companies.
Among these people, 80% are public officials. They are leaders themselves, and there are several heavyweights who will be arranged on behalf of each department to attend the seminar.
So, Qiao Feng and others, who originally wanted to participate in the discussion seriously, came to the stage to speak like a lantern on the first day.
They were dizzy when they listened to their speeches, because most of them were big talk, empty talk, and scene words, without nutrition or constructiveness.
Of course, there are also a few of them who speak in a way that makes them feel that it is not in vain after listening to it.
First of all, the old man with the highest status was confirmed. He first confirmed that Chinese films have achieved considerable results through the years and years of ups and downs.
"Since the 1980s, my country's entertainment films have developed unprecedentedly, starting with the "Mysterious Buddha" directed by Zhang Huaxun in 1980, until the continuous emergence of films such as "Wulin Zhi", "Wudang", and "Emei Flying Thieves" in the mid-1980s. Driven by economic factors, China has set off a wave of "entertainment films". According to statistics, the production of entertainment films in 1988 accounted for 60% of the total domestic films in the whole year, and as high as 75% in 1989. However...
When a leader speaks, the people below are most afraid of hearing, but the leaders often like big turns.
The same goes for the big boss.
"However, we also clearly see that under the entertainment craze, in order to pursue interests, some filmmakers give the audience the greatest visual stimulation, filming many bloody, violence, breakthrough ethics and other things in the movie, even belittle, ugliness, and distort our socialism. However, due to the openness of the outside world, various ideas poured into the country, and most of them had heterogeneous ideas in the West. Once these emerging ideas were introduced, they were sought after by the majority of young people, and our traditional ideology was challenged. Therefore, in the past few years, we put forward the slogan of "highlighting the 'main theme' and insisting on diversification". The ideological content of socialism and communism in film works should become the 'main theme' of our literature and art. Our 'main
Melody’ must reflect the spirit of the times, shape new socialist people, and inspire and spur people, and not belittle, vilify, or distort our socialist people. This is the original intention of proposing to make main-melo films. This is what we say and do, and we have given great policies and financial support in the production of main-melo films. However, in recent years, the domestic film market has gradually faded. Therefore, many voices began to say that the reason for this result is because we must insist on making main-melo films, saying that main-melo films are revolutionary historical themes, heroic themes, and for leaders to watch. Main-melo films have neither the personalization and uniqueness of artistic films nor the entertainment of commercial films."
After a pause, the leader came another one.
"But I don't think so. I think this statement is one-sided, and I don't understand the core meaning of the main theme we propose. The main theme does not refer to a certain type of movie. It is just as positive and leading people to be kind, people believe in truth, goodness and beauty, and can inspire and encourage people. As long as the core core is this, no matter what topic is, it is promoting the main theme."
Speaking of this, the leader also gave an example.
"Wang Feihong, who was filmed in Hong Kong, is a good example. Unlike ordinary kung fu films, Wang Feihong has placed the character of Wang Feihong under the political and cultural conflicts between China and the West, and in the conflicts between the new and the old, that is, tradition and modernity. Wang Feihong often teaches people to be self-reliant and save the country, to see the government being in a state of resilience, foreigners are rampant, and the people suffer. He gradually realized that martial arts alone is not enough to relieve the country's difficulties, so he tried to find other ways to save the country. In this way, the theme of the movie has suddenly reached a new level. Can we think such a movie also promote the main theme?
When Qiao Feng heard the leader mention Huang Feihong, he was shocked. He thought to himself that this leader is so unafraid of trouble?
Not to mention anything else, aren’t you afraid of being misinterpreted or even slandered when taking a Hong Kong film reform seminar on mainland film reform?
Another thing is, leader, don’t you know what Huang Feihong’s man should be self-improvement this year? It’s about Sun’s and the founding father of the National Party and the founding father.
Is it really okay to say that?
Not only Qiao Feng was shocked, but others were also surprised.
It’s just that the leader is talking, and no one will interrupt. After worrying for a while, Qiao Feng calmed down.
He felt that his worries were actually a bit redundant.
After all, he is a leader in the cultural industry, so he still has at least political sensitivity. Can you say that he is not clearer than himself?
Another thing is that our party’s rival has never been the founding father, and his evaluation of the founding father has always been positive and recognized. Otherwise, the founding mother would not...
Another thing is that Qiao Feng feels that with his current status and influence, it is impossible for the mainland to mention the movies he invested in just because of his leaders, which will cause unnecessary extensions and discussions.
However, from the leader’s speech and this example, Qiao Feng and others have heard a lot of things.
That is, compared with the slogan of main theme just proposed a few years ago, today's leader's speech expanded a lot.
Don’t listen to what the leader said before, everyone has misunderstood what they have understood.
It doesn't exist at all.
However, as the sluggish film market fades, the above feels that the previous definition of the main theme has indeed restricted the development of the film industry, and it is time to change.
But it is impossible to be wrong.
Then it can only be everyone's understanding.
The leader had a lot of useful information, and then Comrade Yuan, Secretary-General of the National Producers Association, also made a lot of good speeches. This person's speech was mainly aimed at the distribution system of mainland films.
He is the one who studies the most and responds to this issue the most.
So, the above will arrange for him to focus on this.
Comrade Yuan’s speech was also the focus of Qiao Feng and the others, because there was this problem in the topics of Qiao Feng, Cai Yongchang and Fu Qi and the others yesterday.
"The film management system of New China was established in the 1950s in accordance with the Soviet model. It is a highly integrated management system formed under the planned economic model. Specifically, the distribution and screening process presents four-level management at the central-provincial-city-county level, that is, the top Chinese film distribution and screening companies are set up, and the provincial, municipal and county governments have set up corresponding film distribution and screening companies to form four-level vertical management of the middle to local film distribution and screening business. The disadvantages of such a management system are segmented, single structure, high cost, slow circulation speed and low efficiency, and are not suitable for the requirements of modernization and industrialized large-scale production. Based on this management system, we implement that all films shot by film studios across the country are uniformly distributed by Chinese film distribution and screening output companies, that is, "unified purchase and sales".
In my multi-party research, except for China Film Company, almost all aspects have opinions on this system. Among them, the biggest and most direct opinion is that "the distribution of interests is unfair"; the biggest opinion is that the film studio is the film studio. I used to be from E Film Studio, and I am very clear about the problem. The income of each film by China Film Company is mainly determined by China Film Company "based on the distribution and screening of the film", and then determine how much money to pay to the studio. The studio invests someone to make a movie, but in the end, it can only get 15% of the box office revenue of the film. The studio makes a movie but cannot make money. How can such a distribution of benefits be reasonable and how can the studio have the motivation to make good films? Therefore, I think that if you want to reform the film, you must first start with this distribution system. Otherwise, no matter how well other reforms are carried out, it will only be a waste of time in the end."
"Mr. Qiao, what this person said makes sense." Cai Yongchang was very excited after listening to Comrade Yuan's speech.
Of course, Qiao Feng agreed very much, but he poured a basin of cold water on Cai Yongchang: "What Comrade Yuan said is of course correct. But Mr. Cai should not be happy first. What is closely related to us is the distribution method of imported films. If it is only the distribution method of mainland movies and the imported films have not been changed, then it is not the same as the nephew's lanterns as before."
"Ah." Cai Yongchang was confused and murmured: "It shouldn't be."
