Chapter 236: The biggest stumbling block

"Literary and artistic films are not a big problem. Every year they participate in film festivals, and there are awards. {}" Zhang Yimou, sitting on the right side of the stage, raised the microphone with a serious smile when he heard the name of the host: "But the times are different now. In the past, we focused on one theme and insisted on artistic creation. Today, young people watch Hollywood and watch Wang Dao ’s films. Those of us feel rustic and unfashionable. "
Wang Yang responded with a smile, Feng Gang with his hands on his side looked at Zhang Yimou; while the young people on the seats nodded silently, the current market will no longer like those rural movies, and they are impacted by Hollywood blockbusters. I like to watch. Even those of them who are engaged in movies are not happy to look at the countryside. The costumes are emotional and sci-fi ... After the industrialization, they are suddenly bright.
"If young people don't like to watch your movies anymore, then it doesn't make sense." Zhang Yimou's left hand is doing hand movements and said: "You can't just stick to your art and be alone. The times won't wait for you, you haven't After waking up, you ’re still high-spirited, and the times are going to be night, and you will be going to be night. Now we pay attention to the unity of thought xìng, art xìng, entertainment xìng, which is the commercial film that everyone said. "
Zhang Yimou said a pause, how to transform into this commercial blockbuster, and get better results than "Hero", he still has to peck hard. Compare with Hollywood? He continued: "The gap between mainstream commercials and Hollywood is comprehensive. Film technology, storytelling techniques, scripts, performances ... Besides the film itself, there are promotional packages, and we are all crossing the river with stones."
"Not only, Hollywood is the" enemy "of the world's movies. Nowadays, all the old European movie powers are occupied by Hollywood movies. They are now stepping back and discussing how to make national movies and local movies. Continue healthy. "
"Hollywood is like nb, and the World Team may not have beaten it." Zhang Yimou's tone was faint but he seemed a bit self-deprecating. Feng Gang nodded, Wang Yang was expressionless, Zhang Yimou continued: "The film is only industrialized Just started, it is impossible to catch up with Hollywood one day or two days. We should realize this gap, recognize it, and gradually narrow the gap. "
Looking at the young alumni under the stage, Zhang Yimou finally said: "Our population and economic exhibition are there. The future must be the world's top film market. I think the hope of the film is on young people. Years, years, years ... … There will definitely be a group of excellent young directors who will compete with Hollywood with their excellent works, and then gradually occupy the overseas market and face the world.

Pappa! A large applause suddenly sounded in the multi-function hall, and then became deaf, Beiying students all clapped their hands with confidence and smile, this is called level! realistic!
Wang Yang listened to these applause and was very happy in his heart. At least young people in the industry are very confident and motivated. Is n’t this good? But if you want to narrow the gap in all aspects, you still have to take one step at a time. For Hollywood's "occupying the world" situation, although he is one of them, he has a rapidly growing film company ... but he is very helpless and unwilling to see such a world film pattern.
This pattern is very unhealthy. Every country has its own local cultural qualities, and movies will be released in full. For example, like the Hong Kong film, it has a completely different taste from Hollywood. Gangster films and Wulitou are all its flashes, but they are now declining.
In addition to a filmmaker and an ordinary audience who want to see the healthy Baihua Qifang, as a Chinese, Wang Yang naturally sincerely hopes that the Chinese-language movie can be strong, no matter whether it is Hong Kong, it can go to the world; when he is bigger, he prays for this movie All aspects of the land can get rid of the shackles and become strong as soon as possible, so as to gain a greater right to speak and fairer treatment for Chinese people around the world.
But what help can he provide? Not to mention "upper" first, the film industry in each place must rely on the foundation of that place to integrate all aspects, such as education, concepts, environment, market ... It is only native films that are exhibited by local filmmakers. Talented people can get the local flavor and temperament.
Let him make a movie in the 1990s and the current generation background. It is not completely without concept, but there is no feeling; the director is only the director, the production is just the production, there is no good creative team, one The blockbuster could not be completed.
If you want to make such a movie, such as "Kung Fu Panda", which is still in the preparatory period, a whole creative team is learning and studying traditional culture, absorbing Chinese and Asian members, waiting for each creative position to do After the preparation is completed, the production will start.
Just a question, what do young people grow up playing with? What are the common memories? What is the common slang? Wang Yang is not clear, and his creative team is even more unclear. The people who know this land best are the people who grew up here.
Regardless of whether Hollywood is Hollywood or not, making movies is the pursuit of his life. It is impossible to "in order not to help Hollywood movies invade the world, I will not shoot, and I will not travel overseas." What kind of idiot?
But although he is not human, Wang Yang believes that there are still some things that he can do, is suitable for doing, is willing to do, and should do.
Like this time "mí21em", it brings a new image of Chinese actor to the global big screen, isn't it good? In the upcoming "Firefly", he wants to integrate more elements, and he wants to bring the aesthetic conception of the East into the world of science fiction.
In addition to himself, he also hopes that Hollywood will have more Chinese faces, more Chinese directors and producers with market status. As long as the number goes up, influence will naturally form. And the work he can do is to use the financial resources in his hands to give the flame film a good environment and more opportunities like Lin Yibin, Wen Ziren, Li An ...
At the same time, if there are any outstanding movies here, Flame Film will also strive for its overseas exercise, bringing it to North America and the world.
"Zhang Dao said very well." After the applause from the students stopped, the male host wearing glasses looked at the three people and asked: "Since there are gaps in all aspects of film technology, should we be ourselves first? The most familiar one is better? "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Ang Lee won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film, and Aurangska Best Foreign Language Film. Then Zhang Dao also shot "Heroes" ", Now preparing" Ambush in Ten Sides ", will the movie enter an era of blockbuster movies?"
"I know Kaige is also interested in making a costume movie." Feng Gang said with a microphone. Seeing the talk about "Ambush in Ten Faces", Zhang Yimou said: "For me, the film is a challenging type. It can show your imagination and test your creativity. In fact, when shooting" Hero ", We are writing the script for "Ambush in Ten Sides."
"I hope it's a completely different theme from" Hero ". As for the direction, let's not talk about it for the first time." Zhang Yimou smiled with a simple face, and said: "" Hero "is our first attempt, this time "Ambush in Ten Faces", we are all better prepared, so challenge again. "
There was another round of applause from the students. The male host looked at Wang Yang, who was drinking mineral water, and asked with a smile, "Dr. Wang, what do you think?"
Wang Yang twisted the water bottle cap and put it down, said to the microphone: "I think the culture is not only the costume, of course, it has a representative, unique, but if all follow the trend, it will be ... there is a great danger. "He looked at Zhang Yimou, who smiled, and said with a smile:" I'm not talking about Zhang Dao, I just want to say that the industry needs to try more and do their own culture. Sometimes movies are divided across borders, or market audiences. s difference."
Some media reporters on the stage have already written to this book: "Magic Yang admonishes Zhang and Feng to follow suit, and there is a great danger."
"A movie, the audience likes it, is very touched, or very funny; but the audience does not like it, and there is no response at all. Why?"
Wang Yang shrugged and looked at the serious students in front of him. He continued: "Because the audience needs to grow up and live in the cultural environment in the movie, they will feel the same martial arts. Throne of the God of Immortality, God of Despair, Ao Nineth Heaven, the strongest abandonment of Shaozhou Zhou, the night of the strongest abandonment of God of God, the King of Judgment, the strongest abandonment of the Royal Family of Shaozhou Zhou Heaven is the strongest to abandon the Shaozhou Zhou royal family to create the gods, and will kill the gods and seals the throne at night to seek the demon Ao Ninefold Heaven is the strongest to abandon the Shaozhou Zhou royal family. This is the cultural difference, what attracts people is always their own local culture. Come enjoy, don't shoot, don't shoot. "
"I think the most important thing that Ying needs to do now is to make the audience like it. Don't pay attention to those foreign awards." Wang Yang looked serious and didn't look at anyone, but the last sentence was to tell Zhang Yimou, he was going to wait for sī Let's discuss some more.
After several contacts, he can see that Zhang Yimou seems to be eager for the awards in Cannes and Aurangska. It is normal to get honors, but he cannot be mí. The jury ’s selection criteria are culturally different; not even at the beginning of creation. They went to those awards, as Li An said, "To feel the martial spirit, the Holy King, the Holy King, the Holy King will kill the God Seal Throne at night. Qiu Ao Shi Jiu Chong Tian strongest abandoned young Da Zhou royalty martial Qiankun will kill God God Seal Throne Qiu Mo Ao Shi Jiu Chong Tian strongest abandoned young Da Zhou royal gods will kill God God Seal Throne night Abandon the young Zhou Dynasty royal family to the inner truth. "Why" Hero "makes people feel very empty, precisely because it has no real feelings.
"Director Wang, can you comment on" Hero "?" The male host seems to have found a good topic, but the atmosphere is a bit weird. The media reporters on the seat are all refreshed. The recent bombardment of "Hero" has become A stream. Jin Yong said: "It's ridiculous to shoot." Chen Kaige said: "1uan is in a mess, and the inside is completely empty." Feng Gang on the stage said as early as the beginning of the year before Oralska, "There is no tension, no connotation. . "
Zhang Yimou kept a smile on his face; Feng Gang changed the Erlang tuǐ on one side and continued a fierce look; Wang Yang looked at Zhang Yimou, and under the eyes that everyone expected, he seriously said: "The hero's lens and color are very bright. It ’s beautiful, it ’s amazing. The movie techniques we used to talk about props and makeup are also top-notch; the structure of the story is Ling 1uan, which is its weak link. "
Wang Yang did not want to continue this topic that tended to criticize individuals. He said: "I want to talk about the way of telling stories. Maybe there is no rating system. It seems that it is necessary to take care of the entire market when telling stories, but it is impossible ..."
Listening to the young big director saying, "Different audiences, how different needs are," and "Editing will make a movie magical, turning a common story into a mí person. Suspenseful movies such as" Memory Fragment "are examples. "After experience, Zhang Yimou, who was just approved, had a calm expression; Feng Gang said nothing, and really wanted to spit out all the bitterness in his heart. He asked himself in China that he knows commercials best and knows what the audience wants, but many ca n’t give it at all. system! ? Dream!
Just like the "No Thieves Under the World" he is planning now, he doesn't want to have a police inspector on the train. It is better to stuff that police inspector character into the luggage room and let him die on his own. Now that the script has added a period of robbery and police investigation, ng is inexplicable, what commercial art is it talking about? To talk about the result of art is that the future review will not pass. If you do not compromise, those films will rot!
He was asked to say that ideological censorship is the biggest stumbling block and the biggest problem.
Time passed by the night of the conversation and applause, the mineral water bottle was gradually empty, and there was a halftime break ... This discussion dialogue talked about nearly two times, finally under the warm applause of students and media reporters ended.
After leaving the multi-functional hall, Wang Yang sī and Zhang Yimou and Feng Gang talked for a while, UU reading www.uukanshu. com advised a few words not to cater to the award, because it would lose everything, and no one would like it. Whether the two could listen, Wang Yang did not know, and just as he was leaving Beiying, Susan McCarthy received a request from the school, she said, "There is a female student in the acting department of your fans, I hope I can See you, ask for a signed photo. "
"Thank her! But I'm gone, I don't want to engage in this privilege."
On the sunny campus road in the afternoon, accompanied by bodyguards, Wang Yang walked straight to the parking lot. After the discussion and discussion just ended, he had a smile with Beiying students for a while, and signed and took a group photo. The request for a separate meeting now is probably that girl has some background, and his mood is very tired of this set, especially in school.
"Can't Mr. Wang really see her? The child admires him very much." Susan McCarthy conveyed Wang Yang's meaning to the agent over the phone, and heard the regretful voice over there. She looked at Wang Yang, who was not far in front, and said, "No, he is a little tired and doesn't want to see."
Soon, a black car slowly drove out of the Beiying campus, causing a dazzling flash of the camera in the hands of the media reporters and fans who were waiting at the door; some fans ran after the car and shouted loudly : "Wang Yang, Wang Yang !!-"
