Chapter 504 Another Tricky Problem
Jing Jian knew very well that his words would definitely cause a lot of criticism. In the academic base camps like Beijing Film Academy, it is called overestimating one's own abilities; to put it bluntly, it is to act boldly and cause trouble for oneself.
However, as a very successful person, Jing Jian’s three views are quite mature in both past and present life. With his own persistence, it is difficult to be influenced by others. He thinks he is right and will do it if he wants to do it, so Jing Jian now knows it is impossible!
And Jing Jian knew that in the next decade, Chinese films will rush to shoot so-called art films that are curious, absurd, and even pornographic in order to make so-called art films that are curious, absurd, and even pornographic in order to make art films that are critically realistic, just an art film type. But this type? Isn’t it suicide to enter a dead end?
The consequences were caused by almost no successful works for more than ten years, except for the one who insisted on commercial New Year's films and discovered Ge You. To put it more harshly, the first "world famous directors" who won international awards, and how many successful movies did there be?
Jing Jian is not that noble and has the ambition to save Chinese films. But let him turn a blind eye and say good things against his conscience? That would never be possible. The next decade will be the golden period of art for those students below. In the past life, these students will basically be abandoned. If he can be inspired by himself and enlightened a few people in this life, it will be considered as the purpose of this statement.
...
There was still noisy discussion below. Dean Shen and some professors and teachers were frowning, thinking, while some teachers with equally mature views and radical students with immature views seemed indignant, and they just rolled up their sleeves to argue with Jing Jian. Xia Xinran's pretty face was nervous, with a hint of worry in her eyes. However, Zou Hai was secretly happy...
Jing Jian ignored the chaotic noise, picked up the note and continued to the next question: "Teacher Jing, can you introduce the criteria for selecting Hollywood actors in detail?"
"The selection of Hollywood actors is generally based on the agency system..."
"How can we solve the plagiarism problem of similar films in the foreign film industry?"
"Haha, I think there is a misunderstanding here. Whether it is Hollywood, Hong Kong or somewhere else, as long as there are big-selling videos, there will be imitations of the same type of video until this type is shot badly..."
"Teacher Jing, listen to your introduction. Hollywood still produces many independent movies a year. So what is their release process? Can you give it a detailed introduction?"
"Actually, the concept of Hollywood independent films is very broad. Generally speaking..."
“…”
The following several questions were technical, and Jing Jianzhi said everything, and gave detailed introductions to the teachers and students present. The lecture gradually returned to normal until a new problem arose: "I just heard your introduction. Foreign films will strictly control capital and are very sensitive to the overspending of the film. This undoubtedly limits the performance of the director and the actors. How can the artistic nature of the film be reflected?"
Jing Jian smiled: "This question is very good, and I asked the key points. This involves the differences between the film management systems abroad and China. The country is basically the director's responsibility system, while foreign countries are basically the producer's responsibility system. From the perspective of shooting classics and pursuing art, the more funds the filming, the better, it is better to have no upper limit, there are stars, and even a supporting actor is best. But from the overall development of the film, such an abnormal state is not worthy of advocacy. The director's job is artistic pursuit, isn't the cost management of production work? The money of investors or the country is not blown by the strong wind."
"Boom--!" There was another noise below. This concept that was accepted by the film industry a few years later is simply arbitrary. Someone immediately stood up and asked: "Teacher Jing, what do you mean... Movies are the first priority in making money and art?"
Another very difficult problem. However, for Jing Jian, the troubles that may be caused are completely ignored: "What is discussed here is not an exception, but the healthy development of the entire film industry. For example, the lineup of "Dream of Red Mansions" that has just been filmed can be regarded as a dream team. I can guarantee that this is definitely a classic of the generation that has never been before or even no future generations. But what about the shooting process of the TV series? Here, I am not afraid of offending people, and I even know that many teachers and students of Beijing Film Academy also participated in this TV series."
Dean Shen Songsheng below was already smiling bitterly, shaking his head. He didn't expect that Jing Jian's words would be so intense in an ordinary lecture. The auditorium was already silent, and everyone was stunned.
"From the investment perspective, 6.8 million yuan, how many masters of Hongxue became consultants as volunteers, how many artists received a dead salary and allowance were equivalent to working in vain, and they also used 6.8 million yuan!"
"I am not saying that the art investment that should be used requires blind savings, but the drama cost management and management system are extremely poor, resulting in a lot of waste. The actors were selected in 1983, and it was officially started in 1984. There was no detailed coordination before the shooting. It took three years for the shooting and went all over the country to shoot? I have a question. Did the director team not determine the location of the shooting for the whole year before the shooting? This is not a rigorous artistic pursuit, but wherever I think of it!"
"In addition, I feel that the Grand View Garden in Beijing is not enough, so I went to Zhengding to build scenic spots such as Ningguo Mansion, Rongguo Mansion and Ningrong Street? What have you been doing? Also, since there are auditions of actors that have caused a sensation across the country, why don't you seek commercial sponsorship? Why did you waste the warehouse of props and clothing piles after the shooting? Can't you sell them to movie fans?"
"Here, I can guarantee everyone that if you are an excellent Hollywood producer, such resources will not affect the broadcast of CCTV and major TV stations while ensuring the artistic quality of TV series, and will throw out the 6.8 million yuan, at least the income will be no less than 10 million yuan. And this is the role of a good producer!"
Of course, Jing Jian is from the perspective of commercial investment and hopes that the Chinese film and television industry will enter a virtuous cycle of profit-investment-and-profitability as soon as possible. Don’t be like the future, first Hong Kong and Taiwan, then Japanese dramas, then American dramas, or even Korean waves. A cultural power has become a cultural dumping place? This is definitely the biggest shame for the entire film and television industry!
