"Don't worry, we still have this kind of mind. Today, we are purely discussing. We are all older, but you are the youngest."

As people mature with age, Wu Tianming noticed Qin Dong's fear and comforted him.

"Director Qin, what Mr. Wu said is what I want to say. I invited you many times because you have achieved international success and have given us a new direction and goal. I also took this opportunity to ask for advice from you.

"

At this time, Master Zhang suddenly appeared and took the initiative to explain why he invited Qin Dong many times.

"Thank you, Director Zhang, for the invitation. I admire your achievements. I am just making a small fuss."

As the leader of the fifth generation of directors, Master Zhang still let Qin Dong take the initiative to say complimentary words.

Even if the issue of this person's superbirth comes to light next year, regarding the performance of his movies, even if many of his movies will be a lot worse after the new century, this person's achievements cannot be erased.

"Director Qin, we meet again. It's really rare to see you now."

At this time, a man with a Beijing-style accent also came over.

"Director Hong, people who don't know what you said may think you are quarreling with me."

Qin Dong turned around and saw that it was indeed the famous [Small Steel Cannon] Hong Dapao.

This person once attended Qin Dong's movie premiere with the two bosses of Brother Friendship Company.

At that time, the four major private giant companies in the mainland entertainment industry saw that Qin Dong was about to take the lead, and they wanted to win over Qin Dong. At that time, Qin Dong had not yet acted like he disliked the brotherly friendship company, so Hong Dapao had actually met Qin Dong several times at that time.

Second-rate.

But it was just a nod of acquaintance, purely to support him.

"Haha, how could it be?"

It's really hard to say what Hong Dapao meant by what he just said. Looking at Qin Dong's seemingly calm face, but his eyes were a bit sharp, he suddenly felt a little murmuring in his heart. He quickly said with a smile, denying that what he just said was offensive.

mean.

"Haha, that's good."

Qin Dong glanced at Hong Dapao intently, and nodded with a smile:

"I heard that Director Hong was born in a compound. I have recently met two brothers. I invite Director Hong to get together when I have time."

This Hong Dapao has the reputation of being a "big cannon" and is particularly good at wrangling with the media.

In addition, his Hong Kong comedies have always been very good at the box office for many years, which has caused this person to become a bit arrogant. Not only does he quarrel with the media, but even people in the industry will murmur a few words if they make him unhappy, so he has earned the name "Big Cannon"

.

Therefore, Qin Dong felt that his words were definitely not good words, so he specifically asked him what he meant.

People in the industry thought that Hong Dapao was a disciple of the Great Courtyard, but in the 1980s he was a small character who hung out with the disciples of the Great Courtyard. He was said to be a disciple of the Great Courtyard, but in fact he was just a bunch of people.

Then he met a few real disciples of the compound and hung out with others. Qin Dong had already figured out this kind of thing.

It's a pity that when people like this come to the entertainment industry, even if they were a small role in the circle before and were the younger brother among the younger brothers, when they come to the entertainment industry, their status suddenly changes and they become a status quo.

The so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door.

This grandma’s reality is his grandma’s reality.

"Heh...heh...of course it's good, these days I can travel all over the world relying on my brothers."

Hong Dapao was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly and agreed.

I thought there was something wrong with this guy's eyes before. It turned out that he had climbed up a high branch. No wonder.

Just now, he was thinking that Qin Dong was a young man, and Hong Dapao was afraid that Qin Dong was young and energetic, so he denied his offensive words. Now that he knew that Qin Dong had a trump card, he gave in completely.

This is his character, which was formed decades ago. He bullies the weak and fears the strong, and tends to follow the crowd. This is his nature.

"Director Qin, since Mr. Wu has said this, why not start today with the topic of commercial films and literary films. I wonder if Director Qin can discuss it with each other in public?"

Master Zhang noticed something was wrong and took the initiative to change the topic.

After all, this is the meeting place of the Film Directors Guild, so there can be no chaos.

"Lao Zhang is right. Director Qin's current status is internationally famous. He is indeed qualified to be the speaker of this conference and teach us all some experience."

Hong Dapao followed closely and started to compliment Qin Dong.

He knew who he was. Hong Dapao immediately changed his tune when he noticed something was wrong. It was extremely smooth. This was how he came here decades ago.

Everyone else looked at Hong Dapao in surprise.

This person transitioned today.

Hong Dapao noticed the change in everyone's gazes and did not care at all.

Anyway, as long as I don't care, then it's others who care.

"Director Qin, please tell me. In fact, I am very confused now. Our movies back then did not go outside the country, but at least they had good word-of-mouth and box office reviews. But now, I have been criticized for many of my movies."

Director Chen Kai walked over quietly, with a depressed look on his square face.

Qin Dong was speechless when he saw this person.

This [Murderous Case of a Steamed Bun] a few years ago was often criticized.

To say how bad it is is actually not entirely true.

Just like the Wachowski brothers, who were geniuses back then, became gods after filming "The Matrix", and then became the Wachowski sisters, but the subsequent films were so incomprehensible.

Both gods and ghosts.

"Come on, everyone applauds. I invite our most internationally famous director in China, Director Qin Dong, to talk to you about the difference between today's worldly commercial films and literary films, and how to get more domestic directors to go abroad and go abroad."

Other countries make money at the box office."

Wu Tianming stood up and applauded as he spoke.

As a leader for Qin Dong's movement, he is very prestigious due to his age and status as the only remaining member of the fourth generation.

As soon as he said this, the applause immediately started to ring loudly.

"All right."

Qin Dong was forced to stand on the podium, in front of the microphone, facing the directors below.

"All of us here are seniors in the directing industry. I am the youngest here. If I speak inappropriately, please forgive me."

The ugly words were spoken in front of him, Qin Dong gestured to the people below with his hands clasped in fists.

"Just now Mr. Wu asked me whether today's literary and artistic films are products of the backward times. I am not so pessimistic about this."

"Literary and artistic films, as well as commercial films, are actually like two legs of a person. Without either one, walking will not be smooth."

"Both types of movies actually have their own merits."

"Of course I know Mr. Wu's question is about the box office. But from a box office perspective, commercial films are naturally better off than literary films."

"There's actually nothing to talk about in this aspect, because a large part of the audience for artistic films and commercial films are different."

"Most of the people who watch literary and artistic films are older people and people with life experience. This group of people is where most of the movie-watchers come from."

"As for commercial films, in fact, most of the moviegoers are young people, students, teenagers, and people in their thirties, with the largest number of people in this age group."

"As for the elements of the two films, everyone here is senior, so naturally they know better than me."

"I won't do any tricks in this regard."

"Director Qin."

As the president of the association, Master Zhang came to support him and asked the first question:

"Ignoring commercial films for now, can you tell me why our literary and artistic films have no market in our own country, and Hollywood's literary and artistic films, regardless of how they are released around the world, in their country alone, some of their literary and artistic films have a very high box office every year.

Yes, what are these reasons for?"

Qin Dong pondered for a moment. Since he was here and standing on the rostrum, Qin Dong naturally knew that he would not leave without saying a few words. He thought carefully before speaking:

"Director Zhang's problem can actually be looked at separately."

"First of all, our literary and artistic films also have good box office results, but the number is relatively small."

"Like Director Zhang's [Red Sorghum], Director Chen's [Farewell My Concubine], and my senior brother Jiang He's [Let the Bullets Fly] a few years ago."

No one from Jianghe was present at today's meeting. When Qin Dong came here again, he scanned the area many times and didn't see the other party's figure.

"Secondly, the reason why Hollywood's literary films often do well at the box office is actually, according to my observation, due to many reasons."

"The first thing is to cultivate the community. After decades of development, Hollywood has cultivated a large area of ​​soil on its own land. These are the guarantee of box office."

"The influence of the Oscars alone has attracted many moviegoers in their country."

"Then there are Hollywood literary and artistic films. The several domestic literary and artistic films that I just gave examples of that have done well at the box office actually have something in common."

Liu Yiwei asked enthusiastically:
