The Beijing Film Academy’s discussion on entertainment films is very meaningful.(?[ 〔 >

After all, the Film Academy is the highest institution of film majoring in China, and some are talents. In the past, they did not pay attention to entertainment films, which does not mean they have no knowledge. The experience they summarized is very practical.

When shooting entertainment films, we must first solve the problem of who to watch. We must focus on understanding the film market, understand the age structure of the audience, and learn about the education level. We must appreciate the elite and the masses in selecting materials, and face the public.

You also need to pay attention to the rhythm. You must catch the audience in the first ten minutes of the movie. The whole process is constantly conflicting and ups and downs.

It cannot be as dull as an art film. A long shot can last for a few minutes, and the audience does not have the patience to wait.

Entertainment films must have entertainment elements, such as celebrities, sex, violence and high technology, and cannot have too many personal opinions.

Entertainment films must express the themes recognized by society, such as love, justice overwhelming evil, reunion, etc. They cannot be too dark and marginal, so as to win the largest market.

According to the domestic investment environment, it is obviously not realistic to produce high-cost commercial blockbusters like Hollywood, so low-cost comedy films are the best choice for Chinese entertainment films at present.

Also, they oppose shoddy creation, vulgarity and kitsch, and the same-similar creation.

Just as the theme of this seminar: making entertainment films more artistic.

The articles for this seminar were published in the Journal of Beijing Film Academy, and Lin Xiaoling took them back and showed them to Lin Zixuan.

"Look, these people understand in their hearts. They are very good at speaking. They know better than anyone else, but they just don't want to make entertainment movies." Lin Zixuan mocked.

"Brother, I have no prejudice against entertainment films and I like to watch them, but I can't win awards when I shoot entertainment films." Lin Xiaoling said helplessly.

"You can't just make a movie to win awards, but you have to consider the audience. People like to watch it, which is more important than winning any awards." Lin Zixuan retorted, "You guys are all thinking about winning awards internationally. This atmosphere is not good. Don't be ruined by those fifth-generation directors."

"Then ask Brother Feng if he wants to win the award?" Lin Xiaoling asked back.

Lin Zixuan thought about it and couldn't say that Feng Xiaogang didn't want to win the award.

In fact, Feng Xiaogang should want to win the Best Director Award more than anyone else. For those who are not from professional backgrounds, they want to win the recognition of professional awards, rather than being called an outsider.

In the film industry, no matter how high the box office of the movie you make, if you don’t have an award, you always feel that you are not confident.

Although I don’t care, I still have the idea of ​​winning the prize in my heart.

This cannot be said to be hypocritical. How many people can refuse such things as fame and fortune? After all, everyone is just a plain person.

Lin Zixuan cannot say that Lin Xiaoling’s statement is problematic. He feels that the domestic film industry has fallen into a vicious circle.

In March, Huaying Company divided the box office of "Party A and Party B" into the account of Haomeng Company, with more than 9 million.

Han Sanping transferred two million yuan, and Beijing Film Studio was short of money, so he wanted to use it to solve the urgent problem.

He is now the director of Beijing Film Studio. He removes the word "deputy" and faces many difficulties while holding power.

Han Sanping is a very capable person. He has no money to raise wages for employees and has no conditions to increase welfare benefits. In order to stabilize people's hearts, he came up with a solution.

He set a piece of land in the backyard of Beijing Film Studio and told the employees to build a family building and dormitory, that he himself was the director of the housing division committee.

Anyone who wants a house must listen to him, otherwise he will not be divided into houses. In this way, everyone will not cause trouble in order to be able to divide the houses.

In fact, he was just pretending and bluffing, and it was still unknown when he would build a family building.

This is good news for Haomeng Company. The more stable Han Sanping's position at Beijing Film Studio, the happier the cooperation between the two parties will be.

With money in the company's account, Lin Zixuan planned to move to a decent place to work, and also set up a team and purchase equipment, which would be a huge expense.

At this time, Beijing had a large number of office buildings rented to the company, with various office facilities complete and you could move in at any time.

Wang Zhongjun's advertising company is located in an office building with two offices separated by partitions.

You can also rent an independent building like Jiang Wen. The advantage is that no one disturbs you, which is the way of a personal studio.

If you follow your long-term plan, it is more cost-effective to buy a building or build one by yourself, and it will definitely appreciate in the future.

However, they don’t have that much money for the time being, so they can’t invest all their money in real estate. They wait for appreciation, and they should invest in movies to make money first. Lin Zixuan decided to rent a few offices in the office building in the bustling area of ​​the capital.

Renting office buildings, decorating offices, and purchasing shooting equipment, he doesn’t need to do it himself, so someone will naturally do it for him.

He just needs to check it from time to time.

"We are a bit more grand in a big company." Feng Xiaogang sighed at the newly-hanged company sign.

"That's right, this is a good location, with famous companies on the upper and lower floors. There are several large foreign companies downstairs. It is said that the office of Columbia Film Company in the United States is upstairs, and we are just a wall away from Hollywood." Lin Zixuan joked.

In fact, Columbia Film Company has many floors upstairs, and this office building has more than 20 floors.

In the past, several major Hollywood film companies only set up their offices in Xiangjiang, and there was no fixed office location in Beijing. They were all mobile businesses, and major foreign-related hotels were their choice.

In this era, foreigners do not stay in any hotel they want in Beijing, but can only stay in foreign-related hotels.

Foreign-related hotels refer to hotels that are approved by relevant departments and are allowed to receive foreigners, overseas Chinese, Hong Kong and Macao compatriots and Baodao compatriots.

For example, Jimen Hotel and Friendship Hotel.

Major Hollywood film companies just send people to inquire about the news and investigate the situation of the film market in China.

In 1993, Warner Bros. first entered the mainland and set up a special office in Shanghai. He took the lead in publishing the article and successfully promoted "Faith Tianya" to China in the form of sharing accounts.

Although the results were not ideal and the returns were not high, it was finally the first step, opening up the film market in China.

This year, Paramount has set up an office in Shanghai and Columbia Film Company has set up an office in Beijing. Their purpose is self-evident, which is to promote its blockbusters into Chinese theaters.

Hollywood film companies and Huaying are in fierce negotiations.

Lin Zixuan heard that in April, a Fox Films blockbuster will be released in China, called "The True Lies".

The production cost of this movie is over 100 million US dollars. The big directors, big stars and big scenes are even more shocking than "The Legend of the Destiny" and will bring an extraordinary experience to domestic audiences.

This time it was not only for one week, but for at least one month. The domestic box office can be imagined.

The real blockbuster is here. (To be continued.)8
