Chapter 19 Learning from the advanced experience of the US imperialists

(Please collect it and recommend it. I am going to change the list tonight and let the black car shine)

What do copycats fear most? What copycats fear most is encountering the original version.

Although Wu Xiang is not very familiar with the film industry, he also knows that Zhai Junjie is the director of "The Storm". How can he not feel guilty? Just hold on!

But fortunately, no one knows Wu Xiang's guilty conscience now. After introducing Zhai Junjie, Huang Hong started talking, which was another purpose of picking up Wu Xiang's script this time.

It turns out that the Bayi Factory got a task this time, which was to make a documentary about the flood fighting deeds. However, the task was granted and some money was approved, but this money is really...

Huang Hong said this in a flash, but Wu Xiang knew in his heart that it was probably a bit difficult. Looking at the current situation of the Bayi Factory, it is really hard to hold on, and the funds are definitely tight.

Although I don’t know the specific situation, during the period in the late 1990s, domestic large-scale film production investment, including theaters, was not very good. According to Wu Xiang’s own personal experience, the chairs in the state-owned cinema in his hometown were not very good.

It's shabby.

Loss is the most common word nowadays. After Wu Xiang listened to Huang Hong's words, he understood that Uncle Huang wanted to turn losses into profits.

"... This time, Lao Zhai is actually interested in your book. He thinks it's very good. Let's..."

When Huang Hong said this, Director Zhai couldn't help it anymore. He immediately intervened, "Xiao Wu, let me tell you clearly. I really like your book after reading it, and to be honest, I can already read it.

We have produced some very good things. That’s what you said, making money. I’m afraid I’m a little embarrassed to say that making money, after all, this is art, this is after all..."

Director Zhai's face turned red as he spoke. When Wu Xiang saw this, he waved his hand to indicate that he wanted to say something. He only heard him say: "Making money is not a shameful thing, not at all."

!”

"Xiangzi!" Seeing what he had brought with him, he was refuting the well-known old director with the boy who was his own age. Huang Yanbo was almost beside himself, but Wu Xiang did not stop.

"Uncle Huang, Mr. Zhai, let's make movies. In the past, shooting was just a task, and it was made for the entertainment of the broad masses of people. In the past, it was a plan, but now it is a market. We must have a market perspective. There is nothing wrong with making money.

, how to judge whether a movie is good or bad? The perspective of professionals and artistic achievements are naturally very important, but personally, what I value more about making money is her box office and her movie viewing.

Number of people! Because only these things mean that your film and your art are accepted by more people. And the main theme movie means that more people are infected and educated!"

What Wu Xiang said was extremely serious. Huang Yanbo had been friends with him for so long and he had never seen Wu Xiang like this before.

"Yes! That's the truth! But..." Director Zhai wanted to speak, but Wu Xiang spoke for him.

"But we have no experience in this area, and no one has tried it, right?"

"Yes!" Director Zhai slapped his thigh. In fact, Wu Xiang was not very familiar with Director Zhai. If he were a teacher at a film school, he would definitely know that Director Zhai is a person who dares to try. In 1986, he once filmed

There have been films such as "The Battle of Taierzhuang", which was the first film to directly show the Chinese army's resistance against Japan.

Now, the main theme movies have actually reached a very dangerous situation. On the one hand, the film market is not good, and on the other hand, the film production is rigid, which leads to loss of money. For example, don’t watch "Armageddon" and the like.

The box office of the film is not low, and the cost is not small.

This requires change, and this book by Wu Xiang gave Director Zhai such hope.

Wu Xiang continued: "We have no experience, but Americans have experience, and Hollywood has experience. Haven't you two watched their movies? Many of the commercial blockbusters are themed movies!"

"What?" Not only Director Zhai and Huang Tuanzuo were surprised, but even Huang Yanbo had his mouth wide open.

"Let me give you an example." Wu Xiang stood up as he spoke at this time, and he was still gesturing with his hands, which seemed to be a bit of a guide. "The previous box office champion "July 4th" is also

'Independence Day', at first glance, looks like a science fiction commercial blockbuster, but in fact, it is a movie with the main theme of American imperialism."

When Wu Xiang said this, no one in the room interrupted. This was simply too subversive. Wu Xiang continued with a smile: "This movie is about fighting aliens, but have you ever thought about it?"

But why are you, the United States, so awesome? Are you the only one who can deal with aliens? It’s too simple, because the US emperor has no rivals on this planet, which means aliens can threaten it. What’s the result? They win.

He defeated the aliens and became the savior of the world. Look at Bill Pullman’s passionate speech, look at the United States’ united will, this is all patriotic education, if you love this world, then love

America, America, the hope of mankind!"

When Wu Xiang said this, he had a playful smile on his face, while the other three were completely stunned at this time.

"We have to sigh, they play so well, you can't even tell when they shoot movies with the main theme." Wu Xiang continued to use strong medicine at this time, "Let's take a look at their methods. The president has it, right?

But he was not the one who saved the world in the end. One of the people who transported the virus was a black pilot, the one who came up with the idea was a white ordinary technician, and the one who finally sacrificed his life to blow up the enemy's fortress was a drunkard. Except for the leader of the president, everyone else

We are ordinary people. What is this? This is grounding. We ordinary people can also save the earth. This is the spirit of ownership..."

Wu Xiang kept talking. He made a very special analysis of the film "July 4th". Faced with this interpretation, although the people in the room were not sure that it was correct, they looked for

Nothing wrong with it.

"Xiangzi, what are you thinking about?" Huang Yanbo sighed immediately after hearing this. However, Wu Xiang's focus now is not on him.

Wu Xiang said to Huang Tuanzuo and Director Zhai: "This book of mine is actually written according to Hollywood techniques. Of course, it is not all copied. There are our own things in it, our special things."

"Okay, that's great." Director Zhai was calmed down by Wu Xiang, "Xiao Wu, no, Teacher Wu, let me help you. You can let me be your assistant director."

"Oh my God!" When he heard someone calling him that, Wu Xiang shouted quickly, "Director Zhai, don't do this. You are my teacher, and we can't mess with our seniority."

"What's the point of this? What seniority do we have in art? It's all the same old stuff."

"Don't, don't..."

Wu Xiang naturally couldn't agree, but at this moment Huang Tuanzuo spoke.

"Xiao Wu, this movie is good, but let's figure out how to cast this one..." Huang Tuanzuo was a little bit squeaky, it was all about money.

However, Wu Xiang knows very well that these old film studios may be very poor, but in fact they are sitting on a golden mountain, but they don't know it yet.

Maybe they really don’t have much money, and there are even many factories that are owed wages. This is normal. These days, there are more state-owned enterprises that owe wages than just a few of them. However, they have sites, equipment, and personnel, especially technical personnel.
