March and April of each year have always been a private place for imported films. China Film and Television will also deliberately place some popular Hollywood movies in these two months last month;

As the New Year holiday has just passed, the Spring Festival holiday has raging, and the audience will subconsciously reduce their desire to watch movies, which is also the six particularly annoying treatments in Hollywood;

In a mature film market, there is no saying that the off-season is low, but it is so weird in China. It has turned March and April into the off-season, and there is also a protection month specially chosen to protect domestic films. It is really worrying;

Black Panther, the Battle of the Origin of the Tomb, the number one player, Pacific Rim, and four major productions were released one after another. They barely got several domestic movies in the schedule and could only survive in the cracks;

Not to mention the story of water, three billboards, these two hardcore movies with a lot of reputation;

"Xin Yukun's mind is getting wet. That's the case. He is still thinking about the release in early April. Qingzhou, don't you persuade him?"

Old Pan was still thinking about what to shoot for his next drama. He suddenly heard Yang Yuanheng say that Xin Yukun's "Silent Break" was scheduled to be released early next month. They had a good relationship and came to Meng Qingzhou before he left;

"What's the rush? I've watched the April film list. Hollywood is just a blockbuster, "The Beast of the Rap", and the rest are not very good, and there is little impact."

Yang Yuanheng looked at the documents in his hand and reminded Meng Qingzhou: "Xu Zheng also has a drama that will be released next month. "The Player Behind the Scenes" has investment in the new calendar."

"Well? Lao Xu still has time to film? Isn't it enough to stagger the release time of the two movies? Lao Yang, you can do it yourself, try to do it one by one!"

Although Wan Chongshan's theaters are among the best in China, in the March and April of Hollywood, the company will try its best to avoid the release of its own movies;

"I don't know what Zhongying is thinking. I've been spending several blockbusters all over the past two months, even if it's slowed down, it's inexplicable!"

As the boss of Wan Chongshan’s publicity and development, Yang Yuanheng’s resentment towards Zhongying is extraordinary, especially during the two periods of each year after the Spring Festival and before the summer vacation, he lost a lot of hair every time;

"Where did you let them push? There are new movies every month!"

Old Yang touched his forehead and sighed: "Oh, when will we not be afraid of Hollywood in our movie? Then we really stand up!"

"You're thinking too much about this. The Americans are not worried that our movies will surpass them. They are just worried that we can control the schedule of Hollywood movies. At present, domestic ticket sellers are already their largest ticket shop except North America!"

The significance of the Chinese film market to Hollywood in the short term is not how high the box office of a certain film is, or how long does it take to take China to become the largest overseas box office market for Hollywood movies?

The key to the problem is not here at all.

For Hollywood, China is currently following Japan, Germany and Russia, and may become the next largest Hollywood overseas funder, investor, and the one who contributes money.

But it is hard to say whether it will really go this way, but it is irreversible for Chinese film investors to move towards Hollywood.

Just hope to learn enough of the experience and lessons of "predecessors";

Hollywood business has always been aiming at absorbing money from the pockets of audiences around the world. Movies produced in Hollywood are made based on audience surveys and what audiences like. Most of the films have no artistic collection meaning, and are the weather vane of the market trend;

The genre films we are talking about today are not those that were found in the beginning of the invention of the film, but rather the genre films that Hollywood has summarized through testing the audience, and it does not mean that today's genre films are still those from decades ago. At least Western films are no longer one of the most popular genres for most viewers.

Judging from the past few years, the domestic film industry has been booming, but domestic box office always needs to be protected every month to ensure profits. Whenever various so-called blockbusters, X-Men, Avengers, Spider-Man, Jurassic and other Hollywood brand movies appear, the box office of Chinese domestic movies is overshadowed.

In isolation, this seems very dangerous. Many people will naturally think that on the one hand, this is threatening our domestic movie box office, and on the other hand, it also makes all the money from Chinese audiences for Hollywood. Hollywood does visualize the development of the Chinese film industry, which inevitably exposes the gap between my country's overall film theory and practice level. What is the difference? In today's society that makes hot money, there are probably not many people delving into this issue.

There are many problems without trying to shoot entertainment films, and it is difficult to explain clearly where the gap is. For example, why Hollywood cars run so fast and horses run so beautifully, spies are very similar to spies, and what we shoot is a bit unreal. Our films like to use other people’s three shots: you say, I say, you say, I say, but the real audio-visual is not useful.

We are not short of publicity and distribution, we are not short of money, what we lack is basic skills.

Moreover, the biggest feeling of Hollywood blockbusters is that the scene is grand, the storyline is good, and the action special effects details are detailed and realistic! Moreover, Hollywood movies are industrialized, and movies in other places are handicraft workshops.

Before making movies, Hollywood will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the audience's tastes, interests, etc., so as to maximize profits while making the movie the most attractive. The movies in the handicraft workshop only meet the needs of some people.

Hollywood movies are generally considered as examples of commercial films. As for commercial films alone, it is probably not a matter of overnight success for China to reach the Hollywood level.

Making a commercial film, especially in Hollywood's most typical science fiction theme, is not only related to the director's directing ability. No matter how high Michael Bay's personal ability is, he may not be able to shoot "Transformers" without the Hollywood platform. If "Jurassic Park" in the 1990s was filmed in another country or region, it would definitely not reach its original level. At least in terms of visual effects, you can think so.

The Hollywood platform has a complete film industry system. It is not only awesome special effects, but also the other contents in the film industry, but also can be top-notch. Hollywood has made almost every aspect of it. Just like a mobile phone, all the accessories and hardware and software are the best in the industry, and the appearance is impeccable, which conforms to the public's aesthetics, and will naturally become a best-selling mobile phone.

When the films produced in Hollywood are excellent enough to make the films have no dyslexia, they can then harvest box offices around the world, and the money they earn is used to enrich and improve their own system and continuously cycle, so it can always maintain this level.

Compared with commercial films, making a good art film has higher requirements for the director's personal abilities. It is not as high as that of commercial films such as the entire film industry system, screenwriter, production, editing, soundtrack and special effects. Art films rarely involve special effects and do not require a magnificent soundtrack. The director himself can write scripts or write his own screenwriter.

Art films have a greater correlation with the director himself. Sometimes the entire film will be marked as a director, so basically the title directors of various art films (Bergman, Godard, Tarkovsky, Yasujiro Ozu, Hou Hsiao-hsien, etc.) can come from many countries around the world, which depends to a large extent on the director's personal talent.

In fact, from the perspective of art films, domestic art films have world-class standards. It can be seen from the awards they have won at the three major European film festivals that we have output many top-quality films.

But in recent years, other people's movies have also improved, with more competitors and stronger, and we have not become better. Of course, there are some reasons that cannot be explained clearly.

Is China lacking film talents? In fact, it is not lacking, what is lacking is other things. The development of the film industry cannot be separated from platforms and environment. With a good platform and a good creative environment, talents will naturally gush out.

Providing a good platform for practitioners is like giving repair workers a toolbox. If they can take out weighing tools at any time, they will definitely be able to complete the work well. If they don't give them a wrench when they need it, they will not be able to screw the screws.

Many people think that China needs to issue large special effects movies to prove the development of the film industry. In fact, it is not. In the era of globalization, as long as the money is in place, Vita, Industrial Light and Magic, and even Disney are very willing to help you with special effects, and Hollywood's first-line movie stars are also very happy to act in your films. Therefore, the core of the development of Chinese films should be placed on a problem of cultivating film talents.

The construction of a training system for director talents, screenwriters talents, photographers, and powerful actors is very important, and even includes the training of professional producers.

How to make new directors stand out, how to improve the status of screenwriters, and how to make young people who are interested in film and television enter this industry with a lower threshold are all core issues that need to be solved. The film and television industry also needs genius inspiration. Excellent directors cannot be cultivated, they are born.

Movies are the same as football. They also need to have a large enough scale of practitioners to form a pyramid system. Only when there are enough directors who can shoot excellent low-cost movies, such as romance films, comedy films, horror films, drama films, etc., can the directors who can shoot big investments be no source of water;

Pan Anzhi was leaving, and Yang Yuanheng called Meng Qingzhou who was about to get off work;

"Mr. Meng, Li Minghe from the theater line came to me in the afternoon and said that someone from the Demon City Third Dimension and Maoyan came to him and wanted to promote a movie. You must know what it means. Do you think about this?"

Meng Qingzhou still summoned all the main creators to Yanjing for discussion before starting the filming, including several old men from Hong Kong circles recommended by Emperor Ying;

"If you don't get involved, I will greet Lao Wang on Maoyan. I don't care what others do. You have to keep an eye on me. Don't have any scandals at that time. Lao Yang, what is being investigated is getting stricter now. Don't be lucky!"

"It's just Mr. Wang who came forward to call Li Minghe, so he was in trouble. You'd better give the light and let the wind out earlier. Only the people below know what to do. There are hundreds of cinemas, and supervision is still difficult!"

Meng Qingzhou was inexplicably popular. The one who made the movie didn't think about how to shoot it well, and just thought about finding opportunities in theaters. This fact is a bit disgusting. Yang Yuanheng's words also contributed to the flames. Lao Meng was impatient;

"Okay, I'll do this. I'll post a Weibo post tonight. People know how to do it naturally. If you ask the head of the cinema under the company to follow my Weibo tonight."

Since I feel it’s troublesome, it’s better to cut off these people’s ideas from the source. Boss Meng doesn’t need to worry about anyone’s face;

Just Zhang Yibai didn’t need him to notify him by phone, after all, he has known each other for several years;

As soon as they entered the house, Zixuan and Yaya found that Meng Qingzhou looked wrong. After they looked at each other, they asked the aunt to take several children to the back home;

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Lao Meng smiled and shook his head, not intending to tell them that in his opinion, it was indeed a trivial matter;

"Don't wait for me to eat. I'll go to the study to write something. You'll know later!"

I heard something today. In recent years, I have rarely said anything publicly on Weibo, but this time I really feel that it is impossible to speak out;

Since you are willing to make a movie, please ask those "directors" who have become monks halfway through to find the right direction. Even if you hire ten deputy directors, outsiders will not say anything;

I have said before that for directors, two essential abilities are: one is professional ability and the other is resource integration ability. The requirements for the second item of commercial films are far higher than the first item. Wu Jing and others who have been struggling in the film and television industry early in this regard are definitely better than academic directors who are still in the Ivory Talis at the same time.

There may be more and more movies with high box office in the past two years. Some people try their best to pay from the audience’s pockets, but they don’t have much strength, so they use all kinds of off-the-scenes tricks;

There is no need to contact Wanchongshan's theater chains. We will not interfere with this matter. I hope others can think about it carefully. Is this good or bad for the domestic film and television industry?

The domestic box office hits are basically based on the shoulders of giants to do some localization work, and then add a little bit of emotion, so the audience can buy it;

For example, Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" and American patriotic B-level films, "Operation Red Sea" and Hollywood's Shadow, Bloody Sun, "The God of Medicine" and Korean social films;

It’s nothing to learn from. As long as we can add our own things, it is logical that audiences are willing to buy tickets to enter the theater for such movies;

I can reveal in advance that the animated film "Nezha", jointly invested by Wan Chongshan and Light, has been in its fourth year until today. It was the director of the Jiaozi who had developed his own style through the exploration of previous works. Although it is still a while before the movie was released, I personally am optimistic about this cartoon, so please wait and see;

What can academic directors do in these things? They can do it, but to be honest, they may not do it better than Wu Jing and Guo Fan. Ono and Mouse do it well. You have to admit this?

The students who graduated from the Film Academy study Lao Ta'anzhe every day. The word you can understand must be Bazan's depth of field lens.

Even if everyone’s goal is not to innovate the language of the film, they must complete their own author expressions. Who would have determined to become a major commercial director from the beginning?

Seeing the scumbag, Mimi and Xiaoyuanying had no intention of having a meal. They quietly followed him into the study and read from beginning to end what Meng Qingzhou wrote;

"Why am I becoming more and more confused as I read it, Mimi, do you understand?" Xiaogu pouted behind Lao Meng with a confused look on his face;

"What's wrong with this? Someone must have asked Wan Chongshan to do behind-the-scenes transactions. It's either a false occupancy rate or a box office purchase. These two things are indispensable!"

Tong Liya photographed Xiaohu in surprise: "It's so OK, you can understand these things. Has the chairman's IQ improved after making the listing formula?"

"Pooh!"

Several beauties spoke very quietly, worried about disturbing Lao Meng. When Zixuan saw Meng Qingzhou stop, she stepped forward with concern and hugged his neck, and asked softly: "You are writing so heartily. After reading the theater bosses in China, they want to say that you are meddling in other people's business."

"If you want to, just take care of it. Who has any objection? Do I need to care?"
