Chapter 112 Talent is the key
Jia Zhangke said this.
Wang Meng was very busy and said, "That's fine! As long as Director Jia's script is acceptable, I will support it with all my strength."
This sentence was completely convinced by Jia Zhangke. It seems that Ning Hao said it well, and Wang Meng is indeed very loyal.
But!
People always consider the other side!
At least? Jia Zhangke was suspicious?
I thought to myself, can such a company boss succeed? Why do you play like this? I don’t ask about the script or look at the subject matter, and decide to invest just for someone, right?
Although I am the one who makes a profit, I can’t figure it out!
Wang Meng has indeed passed the method, but he has unspeakable difficulties! The same thing, I can't say that I traveled through time, right?
Entanglement is the common between literary youths. This kind of literary youth is like an ancient scholar. It is said that "a scholar rebelled and failed for ten years."
So, Jia Zhangke was confused, should he agree?
Wang Meng has made a lot of calculations, but he has made a little mistake. Jia Zhangke has principles. Unlike most directors, as long as you invest, I will take care of so much.
"Does Director Jia have anything to worry about? To be honest, don't think I'm very irresponsible, I actually care about Director Jia's future. You know, my company has just been established and I need Director Jia to be the director who can award the award. So, even if this failure is made, I want to make friends with Director Jia, hoping to have more opportunities."
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he saw Jia Zhangke clearly.
Then he said: ["I envy Director Jia very much. I don't want you to be so pure. I have a company and an employee. I need to consider the company. My company cannot only make money, but also need awards to add popularity and connotation to the company.
So people... become bad if they are not pure. I actually want to make friends with Director Jia to win fame for the company, and say that they have some value of exploitation."]
As soon as he finished speaking, the literary youth Jia Zhangke was no longer confused, but became much more relieved.
Wang Meng said this, it’s true!
I just hope that I can win an award to win a reputation for his company, so why are I still struggling with?
It seems that it is wrong to think that Wang Meng was irresponsible just now.
So much so that Jia Zhangke said:
"I understand what Director Wang said. I have seen how he is open and honest. I can't blame Lao Ning for always saying good things about you. Don't worry, after this party, I will go to discuss with Director Wang. I will try my best to be perfect and win awards for Director Wang's company."
Literary youth has a way of literary youth. If you tell him clearly, he will be happy, at least Jia Zhangke does this.
Since the two of them had made up their minds, they did not continue to talk about this topic.
Wang Meng asked: "Director Jia, why did the Third Master invite so many people to come this time? Is there anything wrong?"
When Jia Zhangke heard this, he smiled and said, "It's nothing, there are many big productions recently, and the third master is afraid that everyone will invest in it all."
So I held a meeting to stop this trend, and at the same time I hope everyone will express their opinions and try to succeed in the big production. In fact, it is all the business of big directors, so we are here to learn."]
When Wang Meng heard this, he understood. The third master sighed about this incident some time ago.
"This year there are major productions of the National Teacher and Director Feng. I heard that there are more years. I won't gather everyone to discuss this." Jia Zhangke said indifferently.
After Jia Zhangke said this, Wang Meng understood.
Third Master is both supportive and afraid of such a big production, and is afraid that "Wuji" will be repeated. After all, "Wuji" is too heartbreaking.
Even if the box office is not losing money, this reputation is scary. Almost all the people are shouting and killing. If the next few movies remain like this, it would be dangerous.
I’m afraid that the audience’s first reaction in the future is that big productions are bad movies, big productions have no plot at all.
When "The Unrest" was released, Wang Meng was inexplicably rolled in.
At that time, Wang Meng knew that he had planted bitter fruit.
Everyone likes to plot, but now it's time to catch up with the Internet explosion era. It doesn't cost money to curse people, and at most some traffic is spent, so if you don't think so, just scold them, no one cares anyway.
Three people become tigers. As long as the quality of the film is a bit flawed, then wait to be scolded? Since your picture is very exquisite.
...
With the arrival of national teacher Zhang Weiping and Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhonglei, the biggest move for this party has come.
There are about twenty people, including the three generations of old, middle-aged and young.
Wang Meng is the youngest, and there are not even those under thirty, let alone those in their early twenties.
So, I am particularly dazzling in my youth, and everyone will pay attention to it.
The third master said: ["In recent years, the total national box office has repeatedly set new highs. This is a reflection of the progress of my country's films.
This is inseparable from the efforts of everyone here. The country's demand for domestic films will increase; support for movies has also introduced many preferential policies, and the threshold for movies has been lowered a lot.
In the past two years, many outstanding young people have emerged. This is an important step in the development of our films, and successor talent is the key.
So I hope that the old directors will teach you the experience, especially the difficulties encountered when shooting large-scale productions, and explain them to young directors to accumulate more reserve talents."]
After saying that, the third master looked at the national master and said, "Let's talk first."
As the highest-ranking one, Zhang Yimou first said it was necessary. Zhang Yimou said: "It's not a question of teaching experience. Let me talk about the problems that I often encounter in movies!
Our Chinese films do not lack talent, nor are they talented.
Why?
I believe that everyone has encountered such a situation, which often seem to be the simplest props, lights, sets, etc. We are in short supply of these talents...
Many filmmakers believe that this is the most inconspicuous existence in a movie!
Therefore, many people are unwilling to make up their minds to learn this aspect well, and they all want to get out of this aspect as soon as possible. Even if they are an assistant director or an assistant, everyone thinks it is better than being a prop teacher or a lighting teacher...
This leads to the fact that we are not short of such talents, but there are almost no top ones. So many props, lighting, sets and other work require foreign responses.
I think this point needs to be improved. I hope that all the bosses and directors here will explore more talents in this area with the ability of them.
Encourage and respect for such talents, so that talents who are interested in learning can focus on research and practice without distractions."]
After Zhang Yimou finished speaking, many people didn’t understand, so what did they feel is?
but……
Only big productions understand that China really lacks top talent.
Can you imagine a prop teacher who has been passed down from three generations in Hollywood, that is, grandpa, father, son, and so on. And he has been engaged in such research all his life.
And in China, there are few.
Whenever you have the opportunity or have a little reputation, you will immediately change careers and do jobs that look decent.
So!
Feng Xiaogang nodded in agreement with a sigh, and he encountered this situation.
"Director Zhang is right. I don't know if I don't make big productions. It turns out that we lack so many talents. This is still simple! We are even more in short supply of special effects, high-end photography equipment, and top shooting techniques, and even have almost no talents."
Wang Meng absolutely agrees with this sentence, not only agrees with him but also makes efforts.
In terms of special effects, Marvel Comics' Jifei has already led many people to work hard.
However, there are no high-end shooting equipment and techniques.
More than a decade ago, there were 3D films in Hollywood, and many people in China have never heard of them.
And the scene... you will know by looking at the expressions of some directors.
They don’t care at all because they can’t use these at the moment, so why bother so much?
Everyone thinks that just listen to these great directors’ “bragging”.
Seeing that everyone was not concerned, Sanye said: "Our country does not lack special effects and high-end photography equipment. We Zhongying can provide this, but we don't have talents in this area. If you need to try it out, can you accumulate experience?"
to be honest!
In this lifetime, China is indeed not short of high-end photography equipment and special effects technology.
But no one cares!
No one wasted time caring about that.
but……
This sentence made Wang Meng tempted.
I thought to myself, it seems that I have time to go to Zhongying to see what technology has reached.
