Chapter 309 Weights and Measures of the Chinese Film Industry
"Business matters, let's talk about it another day."
Ye Qin dragged his exhausted body, striding forward, with the wind blowing under his feet.
Yang Man followed closely, "We are all waiting in the conference room."
"Sister Yang, ask someone to make me a cup of strong tea, strong tea!"
Ye Qin dropped this sentence and stepped straight in. Before opening his mouth to say a few polite words, Lu Yang cut to the chase and said:
"Qin Zi, you want to make a new type of film, what type of film?"
"Sci-fi."
What Ye Qin blurted out immediately shocked Guo Fan who was about to report to "Left Ear".
What, sci-fi movie?
After making sure that his ears were not distracted, and seeing Ye Qin's serious expression, he didn't look like he was joking at all, and he was surprised and suspicious in his heart.
Chinese sci-fi movie?
Does China have sci-fi movies?
The most recent success is Xingye’s "Yangtze River No. [-]", but this is purely a parent-child movie about ET aliens, so it can be regarded as soft science fiction.
His "The Adventures of Li Xianji" is also a soft subject.
"Qin Zi, soft science fiction?" Lu Yang asked in doubt.
"Hard science fiction." Ye Qin said firmly.
"Qin Zi, you are not joking!"
Hearing Lu Yang's exclamation, Guo Fan glanced at Wen Muye who was already in a daze, and secretly agreed in his heart.
In the golden age of Xiangjiang, known as the Hollywood of the East, it is not that it has never made science fiction movies.
The most famous one is the IP of "Wesley" by Ni Yi, but the first three novels are only modern martial arts romances, and it is not until the fourth book, Blue Blood Man, that it has a sci-fi color.
When filming "Wesley" in the early years, they avoided special effects and made it into an action movie.
In 02, Wang Jing tried "Blue Blood Man", which was similar to "Shanghai Fortress".
It is the peak Xiangjiang film system that is rich in kung fu movies, comedy movies, martial arts movies, and gunfight movies. It can't even touch the threshold of science fiction movies. Can we in the mainland?
"Of course not. Ye Guangji has collected the best science fiction novels on the market in recent years, like "Three-Body Problem"."
"The Three-Body Problem by Da Liu!"
Guo Fan took a deep breath, his eyes were hot in an instant, then turned cold in an instant, and he gritted his teeth: "Mr. Ye, you don't want to shoot "Three-Body Problem" now, do you? To be honest, it's impossible, with our current technology The level is simply impossible to achieve and could, could have ruined the original!"
The truth is harsh, but Guo Fan's enthusiasm for science fiction made Guo Fan feel uncomfortable, "Three-Body Problem", this is China's "Three-Body Problem"!
"Three Body"?
Very early!
Ye Qin said solemnly: "The "Three-Body Problem" will not be discussed until the Chinese film industry matures, but it will be filmed first..."
"Wait, wait, Qin Zi, are you looking for the three of us to make hard science fiction movies?"
Lu Yang looks like "the old man looks at his phone in the subway", don't you fuck me, one shoots martial arts, one shoots youth, one shoots short films, and then they form a group to shoot sci-fi?
play too!
"Of course I'm not going to shoot right now. I'm looking for you, mainly to ask for your opinions. I want to get two crew positions in "Interstellar", are you interested?"
While Ye Qin was speaking, Yang Man came with a cup of hot tea, which was full of tea leaves. The tea soup was dark and strong, and one sniff would lift one's spirits.
"Interstellar?"
Guo Fan was shocked, and when he heard that it was "a sci-fi movie directed by Nolan", "Inception" immediately appeared in his mind, and his heart was inexplicably surging.
"Is this considered going to Hollywood to study?"
Ye Qin nodded, blew tea, "Interstellar" couldn't fill the actors, so he simply added a few Chinese people to join the production and participate in the whole process.
Every year, the Bangziguo government pays directors and professionals to study in Hollywood.
Special effects companies in Bangzi Country can also receive subsidies, and many talents will return to Bangzi Country to open studios after they go abroad for further study.
And our China, in 14, took advantage of the [-]th China-US co-production exhibition, arranged for Lu Yang, Xu Shanzheng, Ning Hao, Guo Fan, and Chen Zhacheng to go to Paramount for a short-term "visiting study", and then there was no future. .
No one can learn to communicate!
Whether you admit it or not, China's hard sci-fi movies are now "0". From "0" to "1", it is useless to spend money. It is useless to hire a Hollywood special effects team. Urshan's "Fengshen Trilogy" ", will it be bad?
The key is to hit people, just like chips!
And the leader of the project is either the producer or the director.
"Why are you looking for us?" Lu Yang asked in surprise.
"First of all, let's get close. Being close is not just a relationship, but also an ability to understand you. Secondly, we are all new and sharp..."
Ye Qin saved the important thing in his heart, because they are two of the few directors in China who understand special effects.
Lu Yang's "Assassination of Novelists" has a rubbish script and plot, but the special effects are at the top level in Asia. Motion capture, face capture, virtual shooting, and combination of virtual and real shooting have all gained some experience.
Guo Fan, not to mention, is the little broken ball cowhide?
Moreover, in "The Wandering Earth", real objects are used far more than special effects. Exactly, Nolan doesn't like to use special effects in "Interstellar", and he can use real objects.
It is also in line with the current national conditions of China's movies, and the special effects are a shame!
Moreover, the real thing has a more sci-fi texture!
"If you go, Lu Yang will be an assistant director. Guo Fan, you are an assistant director, and you will be an interpreter. Ye Guangji will bear all the basic expenses in the United States. It just so happens that my film remuneration is tens of thousands of dollars after tax. donated."
Lu Yang and Guo Fan looked at each other, Lu Yang said with a smile: "If there is such an opportunity, what are you waiting for? Over the years of writing "Xiu Chun Knife 2" with your head covered, it's time to breathe out when you've been suffocated."
"However, Qin Zi, why did you suddenly think of this?"
"Hey, go to Hollywood, the sense of crisis is even heavier!"
Ye Qin said helplessly: "Whether you admit it or not, even though it is announced to the outside world that "China Partner" surpassed "Iron Man 3" at the box office, that is just 'self-deception'. To recognize the gap, our foundation is still weak. , not an industrial system!"
"What is the premise of industrialization, standardization!"
Later, Ye Qin gave an example, the script system.
From the unification of basic formats such as script font size, line spacing, and punctuation marks, all scriptwriting software is used to convert them into databases.
In this way, you can arbitrarily know how many words the characters have said and how many Japanese scenes...
Then use the screenwriting software to connect with the director software, production software, and scene recording software to connect everyone and the system in series.
And our production crew is not yet fully informatized. Field workers are used to using paper to record, but a hundred days is a hundred sheets of paper. If you want to find any piece of information in a hundred sheets, how can you quickly find it?
For example, we have just completed motorization and are stepping into mechanization and informatization. There is still a long way to go.
"The two of you don't just want to watch the production of sci-fi movies, you also want to watch more about the bottom-level operations of the crew."
Guo Fan blinked, the plotter was huge!
Don't you want to play Huaxia's own system from director, screenwriter, photography, to art, special effects, and costumes?
Can't help exclaiming: "Mr. Ye, you want to be Qin Shihuang of Chinese movies and unify weights and measures?"
"I don't have this ability, and I don't have this possibility. It would be great to be a Shang Yang!"
Ye Qin spread his hands: "When I acted in "Huaxia Partners", I would occasionally ask myself, do you have a dream. To tell you the truth, I still have a thought in my heart, which is the dream of China's film power, not just the high box office. "
"It is also necessary to have a large and complete category of genre films, high and excellent quality, and complete upstream and downstream industries!"
What is this called, this is called pattern!
What's the use of shouting how many billions of box office, so many high box office records?
After "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Nezha", has Guoman risen?
It's just a shooting star!
Only when the commercial system is short-lived can the industrial system be mass-produced and continue to output movies.
It is no exaggeration to say that the 13-year mainland film system may not be as good as the golden age of Hong Kong films in the 90s and [-]s.
Guo Fan faintly felt that it was ignited, but he was puzzled: "Mr. Ye, I'm going to "Interstellar", what about "Left Ear"?"
"It's scheduled for Singles' Day. You will participate in the premiere, as well as the road show for important ticket warehouses. Zhang Yibai will handle everything else."
Ye Qin took a sip of the hot tea, the bitter taste stimulated the taste buds, but he didn't feel bitter at all, and could vaguely feel the sweetness.
"When you come back, I'll set up projects for other sci-fi works by Da Liu, and explore while practicing. After all, a bad film is better than nothing. I have always believed in this!"
"well said!"
Lu Yang patted the table, "I'll go back and prepare my luggage, and when I'm leaving, just tell me."
"Ye, Mr. Ye, me, and me!?" Wen Muye was extremely anxious, boss, look at me, look at me, did you leave me behind?
"You have other arrangements."
Ye Qin looked at the director of "The God of Medicine" and said, "You go to Bangzi National Treasure Wu Road to study."
"Bangzi Kingdom?" Wen Muye was startled.
"Your previous short films were all realistic themes. You are very talented in this area. I have already made friends with you. You can learn for a while as director Ye Guangji."
Ye Qin rubbed his chin: "Recently they are filming "Su Yuan" and "The Defender". You can join the group. I hope you can learn realism commercial films."
"I always feel that realistic dramas don't mean they won't be popular, it's just a matter of the sixth generation of individual directors."
"Boss Ye, really any crew can do it?"
Wen Muye couldn't believe it, "Feng Junhao can do it too?!"
"That's right, if you have any problems, you can go to the director of the film department of CJENM. If you can't solve it, you can go to the Bangzi Country Film Promotion Committee."
Ye Qin raised a smile, the Film Promotion Committee is the backing and pillar of Bangzi Country's films.
Financing film production, supporting the Big Bell Award and outstanding films, supporting the production of overseas film festivals...
Affiliated to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Ye Qin offered two years as a cultural and tourism ambassador of Bangzi Country in exchange for two years of talent exchange opportunities.
Moreover, the relevant departments have requirements in this regard, and the Sino-Korean cooperation agreement only came after the Great Elder visited Bangzi Country.
We also act as goodwill pioneers for the big leaders in advance.
Fortunately, only 2 years, to 15 years, safe and sound.
"Everyone, for our future movie industrialization in China, please!"
Ye Qin hurriedly stood up, held up the teacup, 1 years is too long, seize the day and night!
"We must do our best!" Lu Yang, Guo Fan, and Wen Muye blushed, and their emotions were completely aroused.
"cheers!"
Thanks to the book friend Hong Mengxun for the 100 starting coins, and thanks to the book friend Mr. Li for the 100 starting coins.
I want to explain here, breaking into Hollywood is called licking?What is licking?Playing the role of a villain and humiliating Hua is called lowly, and insulting Huaxia by default is called lowly.
It must be admitted that Hollywood's industrial system is indeed more mature than domestic ones. We must recognize the gap and make great strides forward!
