    "Pork is pork, it's just theoretical stuff anyway. If you really want to revitalize the big movie market, theoretical stuff is indispensable, and practical stuff is also indispensable. Otherwise, if there is just theory without practice, the movie market will not work either.  "Yes." Li Mingbao said helplessly to the old chief.  "You little comrade, there is just one thing wrong with you. It's like toothpaste, it won't move unless you squeeze it. At the beginning, you said you didn't understand the film industry. If someone didn't understand this industry, they would say  Isn't this a theory? I can't see it. Now that I've said it, you just take out what's in your belly. It's not for nothing, so why bother with it?" the old chief said to Li Mingbao with a smile.  Hearing the old chief's words, Li Mingbao looked like he had been wronged: "Old chief, I really don't understand the situation on the mainland. What I'm talking about is the things in Hong Kong. How can they be as exaggerated as what you said? I  I know how much I weigh, and I really can¡¯t afford to wear a high hat. If you want me to say it, then I will continue. Anyway, it is just a personal opinion, and we cannot summarize the overall situation. Let¡¯s go back to the beginning.  Let¡¯s talk about it, Hollywood is willing to spend money on movies. There is no doubt about this. They don¡¯t spend money randomly, but there are certain rules. It can even be said that they invest in movies.  They are very stingy and won¡¯t give any money they shouldn¡¯t, but they don¡¯t mind spending any amount of money where they need it, because they know that where they spend money is the path that movies will take in the future.  , standing on the road ahead, they undoubtedly take a longer-term view, and these long-term things have actually shown signs, but in Hong Kong, I have not seen how much the industry attaches importance to such opportunities.  . People who don¡¯t see the long term will eventually be eliminated. This is a reality in any industry, but today¡¯s Hong Kong people, especially filmmakers, don¡¯t care about this at all. If this continues  , I can assert that when Hollywood¡¯s new technology reaches a certain stage, not to mention Hong Kong¡¯s overseas market, even Hong Kong¡¯s local market will be pushed over without any ability to resist.¡± ¡°You have said so much.  , What is it about Hollywood that makes you so scared? You actually say that when this new technology reaches a certain stage, even a market as prosperous as Hong Kong will not be able to fight back?" the old chief asked.  "Special effects! Hollywood now spends a lot of money on special effects, and the application of this kind of thing to movies is a major breakthrough in the history of movies. Especially computer special effects, old chief, can you imagine the Hollywood filmmakers  , using countless computers to create special effects for movies? Such effects are really not comparable to ordinary technology, and the current computer special effects technology is still in its infancy. When such technology truly matures,  , the performance in the movie makes it difficult for people to distinguish the authenticity of the scene. "Li Mingbao thinks about the special effects blockbusters of later generations, but he really doesn't have any strong ideas about today's Hong Kong movies.  "Computer special effects? I know, it's the scenes in "Star Wars". I've seen them, and they are really good. But such things are too expensive. The country is still very poor. Computers should be used for technology.  It is difficult for the country to afford these things without actual output. Maybe only when we have money in the future can we do it like the Americans. But now, we can¡¯t solve these things.¡±  The old chief said that when the computer was used for special effects, it was obviously a little painful.  In the opinion of the old leader, high-tech things like computers should be used for scientific research and other things. Using them to make movies is completely a waste of natural resources. Americans have money and they can afford to waste it, but domestically they can  There's not that much money to waste on making movies.  Li Mingbao also understood what the old chief said, and he also knew that what the old chief said was a fact for the mainland.  It is simply unrealistic for mainland China to use computers to make movies now. Let alone now, mainland China may not be willing to spend such money in ten years.  "So, this is the gap between ideals and reality. Not to mention mainland China, even Hong Kong is unrealistic if it wants to be like Hollywood. The reason why I say this is just to introduce Hollywood to you, the chief minister.  The situation. Their treatment is really unique. For them, as long as they invest more in a movie, it doesn't matter. They can make money back anyway, because they have a large market capacity and are willing to invest.  Generous returns are the beginning of a virtuous cycle for the Hollywood film industry, and with the shrewdness of the people in Hollywood, they will definitely gradually expand this advantage, and then let those who catch up behind them.  Complete despair, and then become their dumping ground, such a thing will not"The will is not to change, but will change according to the market. Hong Kong cannot stop it, and neither can the mainland."  "Li Mingbao said in a low tone. "Is it really that scary?  Even executive orders can't stop it?  "The old chief asked unconvincedly about Li Mingbao's judgment. "With the old chief's shrewdness, how could he not know that such a trend was really going to happen? In the future, only Hollywood will have the final say in the rules of the film market. What if?  Forget about other industries. The problem is that movies, related to things like cultural civilization, have no power to fight back. Then the reality will become very bad if movies are invaded by things like movies.  It¡¯s an asymmetrical battle. ¡°You can block it now, as long as you guard it tightly. It¡¯s easy to block it, but it won¡¯t be possible in the future.  After all, the current domestic entertainment methods are still very simple. In addition to newspapers and television, these things are all controlled by the government. The effect of administrative orders will be very good.  But in the future, when life in China slowly gets better, there will be various new changes in entertainment methods. Then the means for people to obtain entertainment information will no longer be as simple as it is now. Hollywood movies will enter the domestic market.  The market will become much easier. Even if the films entering the market will not make much money themselves, they have cultivated their own market, and there will always be ways to get money from this market in the future.  The most difficult thing in the world is to open the market. Once the market is opened, other problems will be easily solved.  The quality of Hollywood movies is not on the same level as the quality of domestic movies. Even ordinary people can distinguish between good and bad movies. It is impossible for inferior things to compete with good ones.  Take the latest movie I shot in Hollywood as an example. This movie is about a robot that returns from the future to the present. The content is very novel and we won¡¯t talk about it. Just some of the scenes in the movie are only available now.  Hollywood can do it, but even their European counterparts can't do that kind of special effects.  A very modern robot, in a very short period of time, turned its face into a humanoid, with the appearance of an ordinary person.  This is one of the shots in my movie, and it is a continuous long shot, not a scene cut with a short shot. Old chief, can you imagine how much of a sensation such a scene will cause after it appears?  And this is not the most exaggerated shot. There are some shots in the script that can achieve a sensational effect.  And these things are the special effects they used computer technology to create. Other technologies cannot complete such scenes.  "Li Mingbao said. Although the box office of the movie "Terminator" is not very high, its evaluation in film history is very high, and the use of computer special effects in it is the focus of the high evaluation. "  When your movie is finished, remember to get a copy for me. Hearing is believing, seeing is believing.  Since you think so highly of your movie, let me be a spectator and let me see how true the things you say are true.  Okay, let¡¯s talk about some practical things. Computer special effects will not be available in our country for a while. Apart from these things, do you think there are other ways to quickly change our domestic film market?  Does it have to be energetic?  "The old chief obviously didn't want to continue to waste his energy on something that is now in vain, so he became direct in his speech. "What does it mean to be energetic? This is actually quite interesting and quite simple. It can make money.  An industry is a sign of dynamism. In the past, dynamism in mainland China usually meant dynamism in terms of ideology, that is, dynamism in politics. But now, when the boss in front of me talks about dynamism, he usually means dynamism in terms of capital.  Li Mingbao obviously understood what the old chief said, but this topic was quite broad. The theory he mentioned at the beginning was actually within this dynamic range. But obviously, the old chief was not satisfied with that little thing.  I also want to get more from Li Mingbao. If it were another person, Li Mingbao would also make some necessary demands while expressing his ideas. After all, his own ideas can also make money. Giving it to others for free is not a loss-making transaction.  But the problem is that this is an old chief, and it is inappropriate to ask him. For such an old man, he knows the value of what you say, even if you don't ask for it.  I won't take advantage of you, and I will definitely give Li Mingbao some preferential treatment in some aspects in the future. In this case, if Li Mingbao makes an untimely request at this time, although he will get an affirmative answer from the old chief, it will turn the friendship into a simple one.  Trading is really stupid. ¡°If you want to make the film industry dynamic in a short period of time, this thing is actually??Easy to implement, the key is that while implementing these things, there will definitely be some losses in other aspects. Such trade-off issues are usually difficult to solve.  I don¡¯t know much about my colleagues in China, so I¡¯ll just take things from Hong Kong as an example.  When I was making movies in Hong Kong, one of the most important measures was to delegate power and money.  "Li Mingbao said.
