Chapter 142 The Development Direction of the Future Era

Guo Yuan is a movie novice, and he doesn't usually watch movies. He can count the TV and movie stars in Europe and the United States with two hands.

Guo Yuan's knowledge of Hollywood is limited to Hollywood being located in California and the annual Oscars.

When Director Guo heard Guo Yuan's question, he immediately understood that Guo Yuan really didn't know anything about the film industry.

Guo Yuan's question is actually the same as a hot topic on Zhihu.

This topic is: Why can Hollywood be so popular, it is a dream development place that all entertainment companies cannot avoid?

To answer this question, we must first understand how Hollywood achieved its dominance in the international film market, and how Hollywood responded to challenges from other countries and maintained its dominance.

Director Guo himself had studied in Hollywood for a period of time. He organized his language and asked, "Mr. Guo, do you think Hollywood blockbusters dominate the market?"

"It should be! The box office of Hollywood blockbusters is really high here."

"Mr. Guo, you may not know that Hollywood was not actually the master of the international film market at the beginning, but the French company headed by EMI.

For a period of time from 1905 to 1910, the French captured the film market in the United States and defeated the American film company.

One reason is that EMI was the first company in the world to industrialize the film industry, and established a vertically integrated model of production, distribution, and screening, which has always been unstoppable.

At that time, in the United States, many film companies were busy fighting among themselves, and pinned the profit model of the film industry on various subsidiary products, while ignoring the quality of the film itself.

This is very similar to the current situation in our country. Capital uses all kinds of small fresh meat to act in movies, and relies on the flow of small fresh meat to harvest the box office. This is exactly the same as the American film market back then.

More similarly, the United States had the largest single market in the world just like us.

But there is one biggest difference between film companies in the United States and our film companies, that is, film companies in the United States suddenly understand after a certain event that the whole world participates in.

After this incident, Hollywood on the West Coast rose. A group of small companies independent of the patent trust began to mass-produce films. Fully crushed. "

"How did they understand it, or how did they counterattack?" Guo Yuan asked, grasping the key points in Director Guo's words.

"The counterattack of American movies is actually quite inspirational, they first started by recognizing themselves.

Many film companies in the United States have stated more than once during that time that their films are not as culturally tasteful as European films.

The so-called shame and courage, coupled with the fact that American film companies are best at producing entertainment that caters to the general public based on pragmatism.

In this way, American movies quickly established a genre model suitable for ordinary people to appreciate.

Coupled with the impact of the incident mentioned earlier, the film production in Europe has come to a standstill. This is the best time for the American film industry to quickly grab the global market. "

"Uh, it means that the war helped American movies a lot, and then American movies rose rapidly by relying on their excellent entertainment, right?"

Director Guo nodded and said, "That's right, Mr. Guo, you summed it up quite right."

"But what Director Guo said are all historical reasons, what about now? Why is Hollywood still irreplaceable now?

In today's digital age, information and logistics are highly developed, and the barriers to entry for movies are so low that anyone can make them. Logically speaking, it should be difficult for Hollywood to maintain its dominance, right? "Guo Yuan asked.

"That is to say, but Hollywood completed the global distribution of movies as early as the 60s.

In addition, the United States has always supported Hollywood, using Hollywood movies to export some values.

This is why Hollywood can maintain its dominance in the industry, and is now the standard-setter for film technology.

Hollywood has led technological innovations time and time again, and everyone can only run behind it. "Director Guo said.

Director Guo's popular science gave Guo Yuan a certain understanding of the film industry.

To put it bluntly, the trend of history has created the rise of Hollywood, but Hollywood's current dominance in the future also depends on its own innovation.

"Finally, returning to Mr. Guo's question at the beginning, why does Future Era develop in Hollywood? In fact, after movies have entered the age of sound movies from the era of silent films, language constitutes a new threshold for movie appreciation.

As far as the current international environment is concerned, English is the most widely used and accepted language in the world, and English is the de facto world language. This is a unique condition.

Over time, Hollywood movies dominate the tastes of audiences all over the world, and many people have become unable to accept movies with non-Hollywood tastes. To subvert this status quo, cultivating audiences cannot be achieved overnight.

The mature film industry system + language environment has led to the current stage of film special effects companies wanting to do it, it is best to rely on Hollywood for development. "

Guo Yuan digested Director Guo's words and said: "Thank you Director Guo for your suggestion, I will continue to develop towards Hollywood in the future."

Director Guo smiled when he heard this.

[Director Guo’s purpose of coming to you has been achieved. Director Guo analyzed with you the rise of the Hollywood film industry and the current special effects environment for movies, just to let you make such a choice.

Director Guo believes that with the help of the third version of Starry Sky Engine, Future Era can gain a firm foothold in Hollywood. By then, with the help of Future Era's reputation, Director Guo's movies will also be able to ride a wave of wind when they go to Hollywood and have a certain audience .

However, the development direction given by Director Guo is very reasonable, and he didn't cheat you. 】

After listening to the narration, Guo Yuan didn't pay much attention to Director Guo's careful thoughts.

Because in Guo Yuan's view, people are selfish, and those who have no selfishness are saints.

Besides, Director Guo didn't cheat him, but just gave a plan that is relatively beneficial to him. This plan is also good for the development of the future era, so Guo Yuan still decided to follow the plan given by Director Guo. .

Of course, no matter how the subsequent future era will develop, the most important thing at this stage is to make the game first, and we will talk about the later things later.

ps: The company of Future Era is not just a special effects company, the follow-up is a very important part of the protagonist's career, so such a plot is specially arranged to show the follow-up development direction of Future Era.
