"To put it simply, except Hollywood, no other country can invest in filming such as "Titanic", and no other single film market can bring more than $500 million in box office revenue to a movie. The shadow of Hollywood movies still lingers the film industry in all countries around the world."

In fact, this question is not just about the film industry, but also about the entire media industry. Ryan briefly analyzed a few words for this group of young people full of fantasy.

"The US media market is the largest insulator in the world. North American audiences watch much less foreign movies than you think. American TV stations never played a foreign program in prime time. Of course, just like "Hero", Chinese films do not have no place in the American film market at all. They can have a small number of specific audiences."

"The Chinese film industry should first consider how to develop in China so that it can expand outward."

Unfortunately, there has never been a second "Hero" in Chinese films in the future. Apart from those art films that whinelessly and one-sidedly expand their dark side, Chinese films have no place to survive after leaving the Chinese market.

The rise of Chinese films is not just a matter of films.

Of course, Ryan would not say such words, after all, he is just an outsider.

In fact, information exchange is becoming more and more free, and it is no secret that the actual situation of the North American film market is not a secret. Perhaps no one has said so bluntly before that Chinese films have been very difficult to successfully enter North America, but if this group of majors is not fools, just by simply analyzing it based on the actual situation, it is not difficult to find that what Ryan said is basic facts.

As for good overseas movies, you can kill the North American market... Well, the weather outside the auditorium is very good.

After a round of the problem, I finally left Chinese movies.

"Now more and more Hollywood movies are trying to integrate cultural and ethnic elements from all over the world into their creative style. Ryan, as you said, "Mulan" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" use Chinese elements, but the overall style is still very Hollywood. How did Disney consider integrating other cultural and ethnic elements into their works?"

"This classmate's problem is very professional." Ryan looked at the male student wearing glasses and said. "Diverency and integration of other excellent cultural elements have always been the development trend of Hollywood movies."

"The idea of ​​Hollywood and many filmmakers is that this is just a movie, and I can do whatever I want. It is true, but it shouldn't be done. Too casual about film culture, the consequences are often very serious."

Ryan then gave a brief explanation, "Every movie produced in Hollywood is different. It is very, very different. Each film has its own story background. During the preparation period, we will do a lot of background research. We will do research and investigate everywhere."

"Let's talk about Disney. For example, we have a new film. It is a fairy tale, set in the South Pacific, and it is a local folklore. Our directors, screenwriters and executive producers will go there in person. Visit anthropologists, older villagers, fishermen, music experts, chat with them and learn about their stories. We know what the story structure we want is, but we need to incorporate real elements, whether it is the character or the mysterious legend, what we want is the sense of reality, the character's words and deeds... Every little detail strives to be accurate, and every movie is like this."

"Our goal is to say when experts in this industry see our videos, we really put in the effort, and we did it right. For example, "Rat King" and "Car Movement" are being produced by Pixar Studios."

Ryan has seen the cameras in the venue, and this exchange will definitely spread. "Our producers will frequently go to three-star Michelin restaurants to chat with the top chefs inside. We have done a lot of research with the attitude of making the most exquisite food, and all the details must be in line with reality."

"There are also animation movies about racing. The producers not only interview racing players, watch racing competitions, but also participate in amateur racing competitions in person."

"Although these are animations, we strive to be in place for all the details, because ordinary people cannot have such a deep understanding of this industry, and they do not have a deep understanding of culture. Ordinary audiences just think it is real, but we hope that experts will say at a glance, God, they have put in a lot of effort. This will make the movie more real and credible. We don't want to shoot a story casually, so that the background looks very Chinese or very South American. We must really go deep into the culture, study these cultures, and do our best to achieve real integration."

Compared to the irrelevant clichés in the media before, Ryan is still more attentive to answer the questions of these young people. Although the words are inevitably mixed with moisture, it is very realistic. For these young people who are about to enter the film industry, fantasies can be used to make movies, but they cannot be used to treat this realistic industry.

"Ryan, most of your works are commercially produced, and there is no shortage of artistic works like "The Rest of the Island" and "The Pianist", business and art, how do you balance the relationship between the two."

"I am a businessman, in addition to being an actor and producer, I am also a businessman. I will answer this question from my own perspective."

Ryan doesn't use vague things to modify his own words. "As for how to find a balance between business and art, it has something to do with how much it costs. I can shoot things that may be less than 20 million US dollars, and I have this market value, for example, "127 Hours", which costs less than 20 million US dollars, and I can produce them with director Natalie Portman as I want."

"But if it is a live-action movie "Transformers" with an investment of $170 million, it will not work. We must strictly follow the Hollywood commercial film model. The shooting must be popular and naive, and what mainstream audiences like to watch, otherwise even Disney will not be able to bear it if they lose such a large amount of money."

"Let me say that, when I have a new commercial idea, just listening to me, Hollywood producers will feel like they want to spend money."

There were many kind laughters in the auditorium again, and Ryan tilted his head, "But when I have literary things to talk about, they will be nervous. Will the audience buy this thing? Will the investment lose money?"

"So, the theme of Hollywood's big-produced commercial films is relatively naive. The mainstream movies seen by audiences all over the world are relatively naive, and the philosophical part is almost as good as it is. Movies that are too literary and obscure will only become niche movies."

There was a lot of applause coming from below, not too enthusiastic. Ryan's obvious view of commercialization was obviously not recognized by many people.

He himself knew this. In recent years, it was still better. At least Chinese commercial films have developed and audiences are willing to go back to the theater. In the past few years, when Chinese films were most affected by European films, it was also the most difficult time for the Chinese film industry to face the possibility of death.

"Ryan, you are one of the richest people in the world now. So what does the movies mean to you now?"

The question was a girl who seemed to look familiar. She probably might have been a star who came out of this school in her previous life, but Ryan could not remember her name and was not interested in knowing it.

"I don't have any hobbies. I'm very lazy when I don't make movies. Making movies is my life and my lifestyle. When I have nothing to do, my whole spirit is dissipated. I need a plot, a reason, and a story to bring my god together. In fact, it's the same for so many people who like to watch movies, and it requires the power of spiritual solidification."

"People's joy is related to the torture they suffer. They are all relatively aroused. The greater the pain, the greater the relative joy. The higher your expectations for joy. When you are disappointed or unable to do it, the pain is also great. In short, people who make movies will not be bored, and their mood will have many ups and downs."

Ryan paused for a moment, as if he was feeling a little bit, "Movies are a very expensive visual product. Sometimes filming is very hard. I hope that people all over the world know how hard they are. But when the things they dream of are displayed in front of your eyes, it is not only joy and surprise, but also thank God. Thanks to all those who work with you, even if they have a small reward, they will feel great joy and feel that life is very meaningful."

"I want to put myself in different situations, dramas and characters to experience life and learn about the world. Movies are not only work for me, but my life."

"What do you think of this trip to China and Chinese culture?"

"I like Chinese culture very much, otherwise I wouldn't have practiced such fluent Chinese. I think my Chinese level is still good." There were another kind laughter and applause below. Ryan applauded gently, "I think people will meet soulmates all over the world, and it is not necessary to be separated by culture. Your heart, your beliefs, and your feelings about the world are more important than cultural differences, because this is human nature."

"I hope culture can bring us different views and colors, because culture has a special nature and we need to appreciate each other. But the most important thing is to find human nature through culture, which are common. I have been filming all over the world, in Poland, Australia, and Guilin. What characteristics do I want to capture is my profession and my interests. But the ultimate goal of these efforts is to capture human nature and allow people all over the world to have this kind of communication feeling. This feeling is more important than the difference in culture."

"What is the difference between the Chinese film industry and the American film industry?"
