Chapter 240 Don’t get excited
"Every creation is a new adventure." Rong Guang smiled and shook his head at Professor Huang's question, "Film and television creation is different from other artistic creations. Like writing novels, if the writing is not good, the editor will
Let you take it home and modify it; if the painting is not good, the painting will be thrown back home. But film and television creation has to face the audience. If you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it. There's no point in being afraid?"
Amid laughter in the audience, Cui Yongyuan promptly joined the discussion: "Professor Huang, this should be the spirit of young people, right?"
"It's true, he's full of energy." Professor Huang also cheered.
"This has nothing to do with age." Rong Guang smiled and waved his hand, "If you don't have ideals as a human being, what's the difference between you and a salted fish?"
Laughter and thunderous applause. This line comes from the most popular movie "Shaolin Football" recently. It should be said that this is Xing Ye's masterpiece in mainland China, and it is also his peak masterpiece.
There is a saying that "Westward Journey" is only popular among college students and first-generation netizens. The acceptance of mainland audiences is still relatively low, and they are not used to this kind of nonsensical comedy.
This is not an exaggeration. For example, a group of veteran cadres in a certain place organized an event, and the organizer was a young man, who was relatively trendy and played the most popular online "Westward Journey" for the veteran cadres.
Unexpectedly, the veteran cadres had weird expressions throughout the whole process, but there was no laughter. Really, there was no laughter at all. It wasn’t until teacher Luo Jiaying’s song - Only you... that the whole audience burst into laughter.
Therefore, "Westward Journey" is only a masterpiece among a small group of people, while "Shaolin Football" is the apotheosis of the whole people in the mainland!
Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Cui Yongyuan asked loudly: "Do the audience members have any questions? But I personally suggest that the difficulty of today's questions needs to be increased!"
A girl got the microphone: "Hello, Director Rong, I heard that you have been to Hollywood and starred in "Parasite". It should be admitted that there is a big gap between us and foreign countries. So in your eyes, domestic products
How can movies catch up? Thank you!"
"Okay! Our show is called "Tell the Truth," so I will tell the truth." Rong Guang held it in for a few seconds, "Speaking of foreign countries, except for Hollywood, which is relatively shabby, other countries are very good! Haha!"
The whole audience was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Isn't this a bit arrogant?" Professor Jiang on the side asked with a smile.
Cui Yongyuan also nodded in agreement: "Rongguang, we should admit the gap."
Rong Guang smiled and shrugged: "Actually, we can draw a conclusion from this classmate's question. She didn't refer to any specific country just now. It was a very simple distinction - China and foreign countries. In fact, it's not just us.
In the film and television industry, and in all walks of life across the country, we have only one mentality - there are only two countries in the world, one is called China, and the other is called foreign countries! Therefore, our goal is only Hollywood, and the others... are very good!
"
The laughter was deafening.
After a moment of silence, Rong Guang continued to answer: "This classmate's question can actually be rephrased: How can domestic films catch up with Hollywood? Is that so?"
Seeing the girl nodding, Rongguang smiled and said: "Basically, we are similar to Hollywood. There are only two countries in the world that have a complete film industry, one is Hollywood, and the other is China. From a technical level, especially special effects technology
, this involves the development of digital technology. In this regard, I am a layman and cannot give you an answer. From the box office market, it should be almost 20 years! We can surpass the US market. From the international influence, it will take even longer
Well. Then it depends on the comprehensive national strength! This is the overall national strategy. I am not at the level yet, and I can’t give you the answer."
When speaking with conscience, Rong Guang is indeed telling the truth, there is no exaggeration at all, it is nothing more than a fact that will happen in the future.
However, these words immediately shocked the others. This is no longer a question of arrogance or not, but whether Rong Guang is talking nonsense? The current mentality of the people in the country is completely different from that of more than ten years later. Only low self-esteem is the reason.
It is the mainstream! Especially in developed countries in Europe and the United States, it has long been a myth, and many people can only worship it.
After a long silence, a middle-aged man with glasses stood up. He looked quite excited: "Director Rong, you said we will catch up with the United States in 20 years?"
"Yes. I'm talking about the total box office of American movies."
"So do you know the data?"
"The United States is around US$15 billion, which is our 100 billion soft currency."
"100 billion, how is this possible? We still have many structural problems in our country, the market is not perfect at all, especially in terms of technology. The United States is a developed country and the only superpower in the world. There is a world of difference. If
It only takes 20 years, that’s a complete idiot’s dream!”
Rong Guang laughed and made a gesture to tell the man with glasses not to get excited: "I am not an expert in economics. But according to the natural growth of data, we should surpass the book in 10 years, right? In 15 years, we will
The total industrial output value can exceed that of the United States. Since the total industrial output value exceeds that of the United States, if our film industry lags behind, then we, the filmmakers, might as well just buy a piece of tofu and kill ourselves?"
The whole place was in an uproar.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Cui Yongyuan quickly said: "We will not discuss this issue for the time being. For economic data, we can consult economic experts later."
However, the man with glasses was still reluctant and rushed to ask: "Director Rong, it is really bad to be arrogant. We in China are still very backward. At least for now, we have no hope of catching up with developed countries in Europe and the United States!
"
Now that he said that, Rong Guang was not polite. He smiled and said: "During the Eight-Nation Alliance, whether you believed in the rise of China was a matter of integrity; during the July 7th Incident, whether you believed in the rise of China was a matter of courage; in the 1980s, whether you believed in the rise of China was a matter of courage;
, that’s a matter of vision; as for now? Do you believe in the rise of China? That’s a matter of IQ!”
The audience suddenly became polarized. Some viewers cheered loudly, while others looked confused.
Cui Yongyuan lamented in his heart: This program is definitely effective, but it is also very controversial! This radiance really makes people worry!
"Okay, let's get back to the movies and TV series. Professor Huang, do you have any questions?"
"There really is one." Professor Huang quickly smoothed things over, "Director Rong, what do you think is the biggest shortcoming of domestic films?"
"It should be project management." Rong Guang said, "In fact, we have very good actors and technical talents in various positions. But the management is very poor! Just like a certain factory, there are the best workers and engineers, and the most advanced
Machines are still being used for small workshop management? Professor Huang, in this regard, your school should strengthen training courses, and we will also provide internship opportunities here..."
