Chapter 683 Attending Class (End)

"Mr. Han, I think apart from investment, the treatment of actors is also a little bit." The female student stood up and replied, "Perhaps actors are high-income people in the outside world, but in our industry, we know that our income and salary are relatively high." Compared with Europe and the United States, there is still a huge gap, the salary that our top stars can get is only the salary of an ordinary star in Europe and the United States, and this gap will undoubtedly bring a sense of gap in our hearts."

"It's really good. Brother Xiaolong should be the contemporary artist with the highest salary among domestic artists. His salary is about 800 million U.S. dollars, but compared with those top stars in Hollywood who are paid tens of millions of dollars, the gap cannot be changed. The reason why domestic stars always want to go abroad for development, the remuneration obviously played a big role in it, are you wrong, do you have anything to add?" Han Yi agreed with the girl's words, and personally gave an example to do it. Replenish.After letting the girl sit down, Han Yi continued to ask questions.

Then several students responded.Some mentioned the impact of the general environment, and some mentioned the entertainment atmosphere, etc., Han Yi nodded all of them.

"Okay, after listening for a long time, it seems that everyone has a certain understanding of the gap between domestic films and European and American films, so I also want to announce the question that Bai Xue asked just now. In fact, you have already made her question just now. Definitely answer, Bai Xue’s question is how can Chinese movies catch up with Hollywood movies.”

Hearing that Han Yi finally asked the question, besides the person who asked the question, everyone present was also suddenly enlightened. No wonder Han Yi wanted to ask that question just now.It was obviously to prepare for answering this question, but after suddenly realizing it, many people were looking forward to Han Yi's answer. After all, what they said was only what everyone could see on the surface, and Han Yi's answer should obviously be more comprehensive. depth.

Naturally, Han Yi will not let them down. The reason for those people's answers just now is due to external factors, so Han Yi will explain this question to this group of students from the internal factors.

"When it comes to the gap, it's actually better to say that each has its own strengths. In fact, Chinese films themselves have their own strengths, such as the dialogue of the plot, or the acting skills of the actors, etc. In fact, the domestic production is not bad. It is too one-sided to think that the fundamental reason why domestic films cannot enter the international market is investment, but in fact, the development of domestic films themselves still does not follow the so-called general trend.”

As he spoke, Han Yi wrote the word 'General Trend' on the screen in front of him.

"I know what is the biggest criticism of domestic films in the eyes of foreign media. I have also said this before, that is, excessive use of dialogue to explain the plot, which is a kind of delay to the plot schedule, and a film needs at least 10 minutes. The plot, such a protracted plot will affect the rhythm of the whole film, and at the same time wear down the patience of the audience."

While Han Yi was saying these words, the students below were also taking notes at this moment, and even some teachers began to frown and think deeply. The place is actually the darkest place. Domestic filmmakers have always been proud of being able to write in-depth lines, but sometimes this is actually going astray.

Long-winded explanations may be acceptable to domestic audiences, but for foreign audiences, this is undoubtedly a waste of time. Audiences are not fools, and they prefer to use their own brains to think about movies.

And this involves another issue, which is also the words "nanny-style film" that Han Yi has now written.

"Many directors are making the same mistake now, that is, worrying too much, always afraid that the audience will not understand here and there, and as a result, unnecessary lines and plots are added to the film. The purpose of doing this is to say I am also considering the audience and my own reputation, but this approach just confirms the words I wrote. In fact, the audience is not stupid, they have their own judgment, and the film should not pay too much attention to the lines in the final analysis. Expensive is not expensive, focus more on the plot and let the plot tell the audience's judgment, this is what a real movie should do!"

"Other than that, it's the subject matter!" Han Yi wrote down the word 'subject matter' as he spoke.

"Perhaps many people think in their hearts that only films with Chinese characteristics are Chinese films. I disagree with this statement." Han Yi's words caused quite a commotion at the scene, and immediately A teacher sitting in the front row raised his hand and asked.

"Then what is a Chinese film? Could it be that there are no Chinese elements? I don't agree with Mr. Han's words."

Obviously, this teacher is a staunch supporter of this kind of argument. Han Yi just smiled at the other party's provocation. He naturally has his own understanding when he says this.

"What is culture, what is the mainstream, not limited to international culture is the mainstream, if some people always want to use those remote cultures that are exclusive to China to make a fuss, I'm sorry, I don't think the movie is pointing at you There will be a way out." Han Yi said unceremoniously, this sentence made the teacher's face turn red, and there was a heated discussion below.

Han Yi suppressed his hand, let the scene quiet down and continued: "Actually, it's not just a problem in China. In Europe and the United States, it is difficult for those non-mainstream films to become the main force. This is why the Cannes Film Festival is called the most artistic film festival." It is a powerful and influential film festival, but its attention is mostly limited to the insiders, and the general public doesn’t care too much about it. On the contrary, the Oscars can attract the attention of movie fans all over the world.”

"Because the Cannes Film Festival serves that small group of people, those who are determined to pursue art films, many of which are incomprehensible to the audience, but at the same time, what Oscar does is another kind. An artistic film with commercial impact is the key to its success."

"I believe everyone may know an actor whose name is Cusack." Han Yi said and asked suddenly.

"Know!" some people shouted.

"Then do you know that Cusack was famous for shooting art films before. His acting skills are great and his appearance is not bad, but why has he not been famous? In the end, this is the limitation. In fact, there are some situations in China and the United States. The same is true, but the emphasis is different between the two.”

Han Yi laughed at this point, and made a conclusion for this issue: "Those who make art films are not necessarily film masters, and those who make commercial films are not necessarily full of copper stink. To catch up with Europe and the United States, we must first use commercial films as the main force, supplemented by art films to infiltrate culture, so that complementing each other is the key, instead of always counting on art films to win awards and fight for fame. To be honest, trophies are important to the audience. It doesn't matter, what they care most about is the enjoyment and quality of the movie itself!"

"Okay, this is the end of today's topic, I hope we will meet next time." Han Yi said with a smile.

But after saying this sentence, there was no sound of retention or applause at the scene. Everyone had expressions of shock, aftertaste, or deep thought on their faces, even the teacher who was aggressive at the beginning. His face was dull, as if the aftertaste of Han Yi's words just now had not been digested.

Han Yi didn't care much about this, and after putting down the microphone, he was ready to return to the backstage lounge. About five or six seconds later, just as he was about to step off the podium, there was a burst of applause that almost knocked the roof over! ! !

And early the next morning, these words of Han Yi immediately made the headlines of the major entertainment newspapers.

If a student or other directors put forward this point of view, it is impossible for the entertainment media to report it in a large space. After all, in their opinion, this is an academic matter, and there are not many bright spots.

But these words came from Han Yi's mouth, so the point of view has greatly increased. Coupled with a shocking title, it is a full selling point.

Sure enough, early the next morning, the headlines of the major entertainment media were once again replaced by Han Yi's lecture at Nortel yesterday.

"Where is the gap between Chinese and European films, Han Yi will tell you! "——Entertainment News

.........

Various reports emerged one after another, but the gist was all in Han Yi's last speech, because in the whole speech, Han Yi's sharpest and most quintessential speech was the last question answered, which can be said to be a reference to domestic films. The analysis of the pros and cons of the pros and cons was incisive and vivid, and Han Yi mercilessly uncovered those hidden magnificence, revealing the bloody and ugly side underneath.

It is true that, as Han Yi said, art films are not able to save the film market at all. In the final analysis, their acceptance by the audience is too low, and Han Yi's words undoubtedly have the idea of ​​being a director of commercial films, and these After the article appeared, there were two attitudes in the circle.

Needless to say, those directors of commercial films applauded each and every one of them. In their opinion, Han Yi's remarks undoubtedly helped them to rectify their names. You must know that this group of directors is very popular in the eyes of the public outside the circle, but they are recognized by the inside circle. However, the popularity has not been as good as those so-called "award-winning" directors. Some people believe that box office and art cannot be equated.

Well now, Han Yi's words emphasized the importance of the box office, which also gave this group of people a lot of support. For example, Wang Jing, who is known as the director of Xiangjiang ghosts, directly expressed his support in his column. Han Yi, in addition, the bosses of those film and television companies also more or less silently supported it. After all, for a film company, the box office is indeed the key.

As for those art film directors, Han Yi's words were undoubtedly a thunderbolt that suddenly fell from the sky and directly hit their heads.

In the past, art films were really difficult to mix. The film companies didn’t want to see them, not to mention the lack of investment, and they were also excluded by those directors of commercial films in the industry, and even discriminated against in theaters. Although Han Yi's words have already lowered the status of this honor, this is simply touching their most painful point.

Some old people bluntly and publicly stated that the meaning of Han Yi's words was wrong, and they said that Han Yi was not mature enough, but the counterattack of art film directors and the support of commercial film directors seemed a bit weak, and the support among the public The degree is not too high.

The main reason is that their own social recognition is not high. To put it bluntly, they are not popular. How can this compare to those commercial film directors?
Don't talk about how bad the director of commercial films is, or how to make money, but being able to become a director of commercial films at least proves that his films have been considered by the public at the box office, and his popularity is basically unmatched by art film directors.

After three days of scuffle, Han Yi, the master, finally spoke.

"Some media misinterpreted my words. What I mean is very simple. Business is the main thing and art is supplemented. If there is a problem, I will give a set of data. The ratio of commercial films and art films is 9:1 every year."

"Isn't it possible to increase the number of screenings of art films? How do you know that art films cannot win the hearts of the public?" Han Yi's answer was sent out every 5 minutes, and someone left a message under his scarf to question him.

In this regard, Han Yi's answer is very simple.

"Then let's talk about the attendance rate. The average annual attendance rate of art films is less than 30.00%. Who would be willing to use their own money to accompany you to squander art? Movies are after all a popular art. It is not a plaything for a small group of people. Looking at those great artists, whose works are worthless? Or do you want to be Van Gogh and live in poverty all your life, and finally bet on whether your works will sell for a sky-high price when you die?"

Han Yi's rebuttal was so sharp that the other party couldn't look directly at it. The account that asked the question seemed to have disappeared and never appeared again. According to some netizens, he hid in the corner of the wall and licked his wounds.

But just as Han Yi said, art and interests are always combined, not to mention popular art such as movies, just talk about those artists, you see, they also rely on artworks to make a living, and artworks The higher the value, the higher their social status can be reflected.

Han Yi despises those who want to pretend to be noble, but spend the investor's money squandering it, shoot something that only he and a small group of people are satisfied with, but the public can't understand, and finally loses the investor The money, but he took the trophy and patted his ass and left.

The most important thing is that this kind of person seems to be proud of this situation, and it is the most hateful thing to use the trophy that he lost money to buy to fool the next unlucky investor.
