Chapter 298 A Career
We arrived at the place very quickly, and Lu Pingan got off the car at the base. The employees of Xingchen had already cleaned up the base inside and out.
Matt Damon went to the dressing room to change his clothes as soon as he knew the situation.
For him, he might not like the Chinese bureaucracy, but he would not be indifferent to meeting officials from two departments of a country in a short time.
Liu Qianqian and others were also ready. Liu Qianqian wanted to say a few words to Lu Pingan, but before she could say anything, another Coaster arrived, followed by a convoy.
Then Han Sanpin and other people from China Film, Uncle Dong, two leaders, and a group of people in the car behind got off the car.
It was not a particularly high standard, because the two who came were both deputies.
But it still made the Xingchen employees on the scene a little nervous.
Fortunately, the leader knew how to talk: "Congratulations, Director Lu, you have won glory for the country."
After a set of what Hu Qingquan said was a standard meeting process, the group began to visit the production base.
Next, Lu Pingan took over the baton and began to explain.
The main thing is the film industry system, which is also the most curious thing above.
After all, this is known as the top and only Hollywood-level studio in China.
Lu Pingan explained one by one.
Then he gave a concise and clear introduction to the industrial system:
".Big production is only a subset of the achievements of film and television industrialization. The recognized mature system of film and television industrialization has four major characteristics: content typification, production process standardization, management model standardization, and innovative technology scale."
"To realize the film and television industry system, specifically, it can mainly create the following values:
"First, the overall quality of the content is improved."
"Under the industrialized process, all details of film and television production, from scene construction, actor training, on-site shooting, prop management, etc., are planned and rehearsed in advance. Every detail is guaranteed to be planned, orderly and efficiently output, which can produce more precise and accurate results, which determines the improvement of the quality of film and television content. "
"In other words, film and television industrialization cannot ensure that every time a full score of big hit content is produced, but it can ensure that every time the content produced is above the excellent line. ”
“Take Disney as an example. Most of its films have highly similar narrative modes and constituent elements. Although they have also caused controversy over ‘routine’, their quality remains above the average line of genre films. ”
“Secondly, more issues such as cost and risk are controllable.”
“On the basis that each link is managed by professional talents and departments, film and television production must establish unified and clear work rules and models from the management level, and make cost, risk and other issues more controllable through standardized processes.”
“Also taking Disney as an example, the production costs of most unit films are strictly controlled within a range, and the production process is highly unified.”
“Third, model production creates more stable income.”
“A mature film and television industrialization system is like a precision instrument that operates efficiently, which can produce high-quality content on a large scale and create more stable income for investors and producers. "
We walked along the way and introduced along the way.
Everyone also got a deeper understanding of the industrial system.
When everyone saw the orderly appearance of the base, their first reaction was: This is a super factory.
A factory different from ordinary studios, such as Beijing Film Studio.
To compare, traditional factories are workshops, and this is a modern enterprise.
One can make small and beautiful handicrafts, and the other can make large and exquisite industrial artworks that can be mass-produced.
If it is really as Lu Pingan said, then this place will be amazing.
Of course, this also brings another problem.
A leader asked: "How to solve the content problem?"
Lu Pingan replied with a smile: "This is the core of film and television industrialization, which lies in the standardization and process of content production. "
"The main task of Hollywood film companies is to collect stories from all over the world. At the same time, they also accept many talents from all over the world. For example, John Woo and Li An, who are relatively influential in the Chinese film industry, have both ventured into Hollywood. Kung Fu stars Cheng Long, Jet Li and me. In addition, Hollywood companies also generally collect various film-related materials. Japanese comics, our Chinese martial arts and other cultural characteristics of countries around the world can become the components of Hollywood movies. Therefore, while the film technology is being updated day by day, major Hollywood companies still focus on collecting special stories in the creation of movies. "
"With the support of a large market, everything can be done with half the effort. We still have a lot to go."
Another leader sighed.
Lu Pingan continued to smile and said, "Our market potential is actually very large. I predict that within ten years we will become the world's second largest box office market, and we ourselves are not short of stories, such as Shanhaijing, Journey to the West, Liaozhai, etc."
Lu Pingan also talked about "Kung Fu Panda" and the "Liaozhai" that has been completed.
Of course, he didn't talk about other sources of stories, such as the IP production places such as Qidian that he has already laid out.
“Due to cultural differences and even cultural suppression, Hollywood will not make you a movie that matches the aesthetics of the place where the story is produced. They will only make movies that they think are good-looking, which will cause many problems. Hollywood, which dominates public opinion and cultural output, will arbitrarily influence people around the world's cultural views of a country and a nation, but we have no way to fight back. What to do, we can only film it ourselves. "
"If you want to export culture, you must first not be too backward at the technical level. This is also the reason for establishing a modern film industry system. Once you have the technology, you must try your best to make good movies, tell good stories, and first satisfy the people of your country. , and then let people all over the world like it.”
At this point, a leader directly praised it: "Ping An is right, our four great classics did not become the four great classics because foreigners like to read them."
"Indeed it is"
A crowd of people behind him responded.
This is sincere.
Of course, some people said: "Getting global recognition first is also a way of exporting."
"It's natural. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" made the whole world know the beauty of martial arts and Chinese style, and "Farewell My Concubine" made the whole world know the quintessence of Chinese culture. I just want to say that compared to what was done only a few years or even more than ten years ago, To produce a high-quality movie, we need to adopt a larger and broader model. What if we can make a few or even dozens of movies every year that the whole world loves to watch? "
Han Sanpin interrupted and laughed: "Then we are Hollywood!"
Everyone also laughed.
But everyone knows that our country still has a long way to go before this goal.
Fortunately, a journey of a thousand miles now begins with a single step.
If nothing else, there are already top companies like Xingchen in China, which is a good thing.
So before the leader finally left, they asked Lu Ping'an: "You can tell me what you need."
"I need talents. The entire industry needs talents, film-related, literary, technical, and even financial. We are in short supply."
. . . . . .
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
After the leaders left, Lu Pingan sighed.
Hu Qingquan also sighed with emotion: "Every generation has its own mission. Stay safe and work steadily!"
"I will."
As we all know, this leadership inspection can achieve small goals such as the professional establishment of Nortel.
But promoting the development of the film industry in the entire country cannot be done quickly by a school, a company, or a small group of people.
What is needed next is overall development.
You will definitely encounter many, many problems during this period.
For example, Lu Ping An knows about "traffic", "capital" and other troublesome things.
But now, we finally have a good start, right?
Maybe only the stars will move like this for a long time to come.
Others will still wait and see, and even cause trouble for you.
But it doesn't matter, Lu Ping'an knows that what he has to do next is actually to do his own thing well.
If you make a good movie, you don’t have to worry about any trouble.
As Han Sanpin said: "Just like we did in the previous five years, in the next five or several five years, we will continue to do it and make a career."
In the eyes of such people, the success of a single movie is not considered career success, but something bigger is.
Lu Ping'an couldn't help but sigh again.
Someone on my road has actually climbed to this height.
Take a deep breath.
He put these things behind him.
Don’t think about big careers or anything like that. Making movies well is the most important thing.
With this thought in mind, he stretched out his right hand.
The assistant behind him handed over the director's intercom.
Then a familiar voice sounded from the headphones of each group leader in the studio:
"Ten minutes to prepare!"
Hundreds of people took action instantly.
