    Everyone thought that what Shen Zhenghui said at this seminar was aimed at sixth-generation directors. Everyone thought that this was an official attack on sixth-generation directors: Don't think that if I take a step back and recruit you, you will become more awesome.  Okay, I'll immediately call someone with a box office worth China's entire year to teach you a lesson.  ¡ÍFrom now on, I will still make serious films in a disciplined manner. ? ? Everyone originally thought this was what it meant.  After this conversation, a written version of the meeting minutes was released, which removed the acrimony of the representatives of the sixth generation and made it seem like a decent seminar that sincerely discussed the development of Chinese films, and the theme was business development.  In the public version of the meeting minutes, each of the three major directors was specially asked to write a part of the content and send it as an additional thing.  It also served the purpose of building momentum for the commercial films of the three major directors. The information and data provided by Shen Zhenghui appeared openly in the minutes, allowing the directors to confidently say that in the future, we want to make money, or make big money, and we want to make it for everyone.  A blockbuster that I would willingly pay to watch.  No one saw what Shen Zhenghui said about grasping the pulse of the times. Everyone saw it was just a summary of Hollywood blockbusters and a description of the Japanese market.  Little Japan is used to being occupied by the United States. It doesn't matter if there are a few more Chinese. Shen Zhenghui has already planted his flag, and others are also thinking about getting a piece of the pie.  In a world where Shen Zhenghui did not appear, it was Director Zhang who gave Chinese movies a false fire.  Now Shen Zhenghui's domestic box office of hundreds of millions and global box office of US$300 million have made this false fire even stronger.  The domestic film market is indeed improving compared to previous years, but this improvement is driven to a greater extent by Shen Zhenghu.  It can even be said that he alone can capture 1/3 of the domestic film market, not to mention those cartoons for children.  This time the three major directors are also full of confidence.  Director Zhang has initially tasted the benefits of commercial martial arts films. He is most concerned about the special effects shots and post-production that Shen Zhenghui mentioned.  The other two directors also went for action movies, which are the most watched by Chinese people, and they unanimously chose classical backgrounds.  This fundamentally still does not break out of the original barriers.  Director Zhang had succeeded in making action films, and he wanted to continue making such films, so the other two unconvinced guys also jumped in.  As an example, Shen Zhenghui is probably too untypical. This guy's box office performance is too weird. Even if he imitates, it is difficult to achieve replicable success. It is not that the director circle has not studied Shen Zhenghui.  But seeing how this guy can force Jack into adapting his acting habits and style, this is really not something ordinary people can imitate.  The three directors unanimously chose to gather big stars and enlarge the scene to promote the blockbuster elements of their films.  They were biased and did not listen to the core content of what Shen Zhenghui said, but even if they did, they probably wouldn't understand it.  What is the pulse of the times, and what do people born in the 1950s and 1960s want to see?  They can probably be satisfied by watching TV series. Didn't Director Guo make "The Mansion Gate"?  What do people born in the 1970s and 1980s want to see?  Didn¡¯t they grow up watching martial arts movies?  Men want to see beautiful women, and women want to see handsome men. The three directors are in such a high status that they have no doubt about the appeal of their fame.  The sixth generation directors have paid attention to Shen Zhenghui's statement that he has grasped the pulse of the times, but their literary and artistic thinking is quite different from their commercial thinking.  The directors are not thinking about the themes that the audience likes and the social culture that the audience has paid attention to.  But in addition, they feel that the so-called grasping the pulse of the times is to record the times. Of course, there is no need to record the abnormally happy life. What is worth recording is the most tragic aspect of this era, the cruel life aspect of the people at the bottom of this era. This  This is the most necessary prerequisite for a movie to have impact.  As for the commercial things Shen Zhenghui mentioned, since they are all recording the worst aspects of this era, what other commercial methods are needed?  Just shoot according to the cruel reality.  So this meeting actually evolved into two different paths, both of which went further and further.  It turns out, only younger directors.  Only directors who are not bound by history or external constraints can save China's film market.  This feat can ultimately only be achieved by Hong Kong people and younger directors, or directors who have changed careers.  Shen Zhenghui is not involved in the development of Chinese films for the time being. This has nothing to do with him, and even if it does, it doesn't matter much.  If he is involved in anything with the development of Chinese films.  This involvement must be commercial.  For example, to support Pingjing Film Academy, Shen Zhenghui donated three digital cameras and supporting digital image processing systems.  This thing is quite advanced. It was used by the Wachowski brothers when they filmed "The Matrix".  Relying on Mitsumi Fukuda's relationship, these equipment were easily obtained from Sony.  Sony is now holding back to promote this equipment all over the world, almost to the point of giving away equipment for free.These things donated by Shen Zhenghui are enough for Pingjing Film Academy to save several feet of film every year.  It also improves the quality of the academy. This is an advanced thing.  It has to be said that the Japanese have accumulated a lot of technical strength in this area, and it will be very difficult for us to catch up with all our strength.  After completing the donation ceremony, Shen Zhenghui also gained the status of an honorary professor of Pingjing Film Academy. This can be regarded as the Pingjing Film Academy's approach to building relationships.  Moreover, Shen Zhenghui has a relatively close relationship with Pingjing Film Academy. Lu Yang graduated from Pingjing Film Academy, but he has been working hard on making films over the years and does not seem to have any particular interest in returning home.  Of course, it's possible that he doesn't think he's accomplished enough and doesn't want to go back.  President Zhang of Pingjing Film Academy also specifically mentioned the name Lu Yang. He has been on Shen Zhenghui's list of assistant directors many times, and he has also directed such popular works as "Black Fist 2" independently.  The college naturally hopes that its students can become famous, which is also a beneficial mutual promotion for the college, just like the slogan of almost famous universities: Today I am proud of x university, and tomorrow x university will be proud of me.  Principal Zhang mentioned more hopes, hoping to strengthen cooperation, hoping that Director Shen would pay attention to and train new people, and hope that Director Shen would recruit more people.  Yes, hiring.  Shen Zhenghui himself has three burrows in Japan, Hong Kong, and mainland China. Although Japan is too unfamiliar and unfamiliar, and the Hong Kong company is just a skinny bag, the mainland TV drama investment company is real.  Under the current circumstances, schools do not expect their students to be able to make movies as soon as they come out. Filming TV series is also an excellent choice to practice their skills.  Shen Xingguo enjoyed the same treatment as his son.  The purpose is also to hope that he can recruit more graduates.  Because he was concerned about the reputation of the school, Principal Zhang did not cause a farce in which both father and son were awarded honorary professorships of the film school at the same time. However, if Shen Xingguo comes alone next time, a visiting professor can still be provided.  Shen Zhenghui was dumbfounded by this.  Shen Zhenghui pays more attention to screenwriters.  This is what he has always thought. The screenwriter may be more important than the director, at least in Korean and Japanese dramas, this is basically the case.  In the film industry, good directors have to work part-time as screenwriters. Those classic American TV series are masterpieces after the screenwriters burned their brains, so they have always been.  Shen Zhenghui has this idea. It doesn't matter if the director's level is low, and it can be remedied. If the script itself is so bad that the director and actors need to make up for it, it will be half the result with twice the result.  ¡°For a long time, the status of screenwriters has not been high in China¡¯s film and television industry.  ¡°A lot of times it¡¯s because of the director that the screenwriter takes over.  Another wish is that sometimes one screenwriter is simply not enough, and screenwriters need a team.  To form such a team, the country still lacks sufficient experience.  Of course, it is not that they are inexperienced. When filming classic works such as "Journey to the West" and "A Dream of Red Mansions", the crew worked hard, both in terms of screenwriting and cultural training of actors.  When "Dream of Red Mansions" was being filmed, the advisory team were all red science experts, and these experts also gave classes to the actors and explained the script.  But it has to be said that in the era of commercialization.  Who would shoot like this?  "Mrs. China" Zheng Peipei said that when Shaw Brothers was filming, they would hold meetings to discuss scripts in the early stage. After the 1970s, who would still make movies like this?  As a latecomer, Shen Zhenghui has some understanding of the chronic diseases of Chinese movies. If we don¡¯t talk about Chinese movies, let¡¯s talk about Hollywood movies. Sometimes we have to face this situation.  All the money elsewhere was spent, leaving too little money and time for screenwriters. Sometimes directors felt that screenwriters were not needed, so many imaginative works appeared.  We know that there is a big gap between fantasy and reality. Even science fiction works need a realistic basis for surveillance, otherwise they will become animation works.  No, even animation works sometimes need a solid foundation. Wrong ideas and correct ideas are both derived from real practice.  So working on the script is actually a matter of sharpening the knife and chopping wood. Although Shen Zhenghui, as a time traveler, felt guilty when he said some words, at least he knew how rigorous he was in treating the movie script.  This is often due to the fact that he was both a writer and a reader in his previous life. Many high-end movies cannot be played. In a sense, he can also play the role of the old woman who reviewed Bai Juyi's poems.  Having no intention of digging deeper into Pingjing Film Academy, Shen Zhenghui immediately flew to Yuhang after hastily signing a cooperation plan.  Wang Anping asked him to meet, and he was also eager to see how his Qidian website and animation company had developed.  Qidian is now able to overtake the domestic heroes and become the dominant player in the industry, largely due to Shen Zhenghui¡¯s several efforts.  The first time was "The Legend of Wukong". The adaptation of this novel into cartoons and animated films greatly stimulated the still developing group of online writers.  ???Someone turned around and became a famous movie screenwriter and an inspirational story. However, after he turned around, he immediately left the Internet literary circle. Occasionally, he appeared like a ghost and left a few paragraphs of text on the Internet.  A pit attracted countless young people to rush into the pit or onto the road copying his path.  But this is an unrealistic path after all, and only one such monkey among tens of millions of writers will appear.  But Qidian immediately released "Bright Sword". This work was indeed released on Qidian, and it did attract Shen Zhenghui's attention. Then Shen Zhenghui's father invested (in cooperation with others) and made it into a TV series. The TV series also ranked among the top in ratings.  Too high.  However, "Bright Sword" is not universal, and the level of authors on this subject is almost the same as that of published authors.  Moreover, writing online in this style is a wrong approach. He should take the path of physical publishing. The editor who originally refused physical publishing and forced the author to publish the novel online has reportedly been fired by the publishing house.  Although the starting point of online literature is the overlord, it is not the only overlord. There are many people who were attracted to this circle by Shen Zhenghui, and there are also many people who operate under the pretext of selling conceptual capital.  For example, Mr. Li's Tom also acquired a large book website in China. It also shouted commercial slogans loudly, attracting authors to join. In fact, the wages of hard-working authors are almost the same.  But in 2003, there was another thunder, and "The Magic Apprentice" was animated.  As an author, Lan Jing doesn¡¯t know how much she earns.  But the publicity point of "The Magic Apprentice" is not the benefits brought to the author by copyright and commercialization, but that this work was actually exported to Europe - well, this is actually a commercial benefit. You must admit, so is fame.  A commercial interest.  As this news was promoted in the online literary world, and then appeared in major newspapers and news, "The Magic Apprentice", known as China's "Harry Potter", unexpectedly became popular.  Although Qidian, as a place for genuine publishing, does not increase the number of readers and VIPs, it still enjoys the convenience of publicity. Qidian's reputation still overwhelms other book sites.  This kind of commercial operation.  The connection between upstream and downstream makes many authors¡¯ hearts itch.  Many people did not consider the subject matter and their own abilities, but swarmed into the starting point and started digging holes. The number of Western magic works suddenly increased greatly.  However, Lan Jing still calmly completed her work step by step according to her plan.  Qidian is allowed to make such big claims that after the TV version of the animation is completed, it may launch a movie plan and a live-action plan.  Shen Zhenghui went to Yuhang partly to meet with Wang Anping because she said she had important matters, and partly to inspect the work of Qidian.  For Shen Zhenghui, Qidian, as the base for original scripts (whether it is a movie or a TV series), is one of the most important resources.  He knew that sometimes the management of the website would be eager for quick success, but he had no idea how to cultivate the starting point to complete the task of the original script base.  He had neither ideas nor time.  Now that I think about it, maybe letting it develop freely and relying on capital to win is the best way out. Otherwise, why would Penguin and Baidu enter the online literary world one after another in the future?  Isn¡¯t this because after many TV series adapted from online novels became popular, people finally discovered that this is actually a gold mine?  Qidian¡¯s senior management hopes that his boss can personally come forward to promote it.  For example, just like last time, Jinhou asked the author to do an interview, but Shen Zhenghui refused. He didn't need to do this.  Although he finally met with Teacher Lan Jing who came from Puhai and actually talked about the script adaptation.  Shen Zhenghui said that script adaptation is a long and painful process.  A struggle for the author.  However, by the way, he made an advertisement for himself and his company, meaning that even so, his attitude and will to dig out excellent works from the Internet will not change. He hopes that Lan Jing will continue to create good works, so that  If so, there will be plenty of opportunities for collaboration in future script adaptations.  Shen Zhenghui said that for screenwriters, in order to maintain their creative power, they must spend time outside of writing.  He didn¡¯t know whether Lan Jing heard it or not. Anyway, the fifth-generation director and the sixth-generation director didn¡¯t listen to these words.  Lan Jing himself seems to be in a pretty good mental state. Of course, this may be because the otaku doesn't care too much about the outside world's reactions.  He was very happy to meet Shen Zhenghui. After asking each other for autographs, he mostly listened during the conversation and rarely spoke.  However, he revealed that he has many huge writing plans and will complete the works step by step in the future. He also said that the profits of "Magic Apprentice" have exceeded his expectations.  It was indeed unexpected.  "The Magic Apprentice", a novel with multiple plots of pornography, incest, and cross-dressing, was finally published openly in China, instead of relying on Taiwanese editions or pirated books to spread, even in Japan.  All the comics I drew were imported.  Puhai TV station alsoBoldly introduced TV animation and completed dubbing.  Although many sexy scenes were deleted, the overall story is still complete.  This is probably a case of relying on foreign countries to respect itself. After all, this is a cartoon that caused a stir in Europe. Many leaders who visited China also mentioned this cartoon.  An unreliable leader actually sent a DVD of this cartoon to our top leader as a gift.  The propaganda department had to hold their noses to admit it, but they still made some modifications to show their existence.  Lan Jing has suddenly become a favored upstart in the world of physical novels, but he said he will continue his contract with Qidian.  Yes, continuing the contract from the starting point, this is a super platinum contract. Blue Crystal no longer has to rely on online subscriptions to make money, it is just small money.  His works are serialized on the Internet, published simultaneously, and even translated into multiple languages.  Since the markets of many countries have actually been opened by him, subsequent steps will follow.  Propaganda departments and the government are very concerned about this.  He suddenly became the world's best-selling novel writer, which almost no one in China has been able to achieve, and those who can achieve it are basically dead.  Therefore, when being in such a situation, Lan Jing was so calm, which was beyond Shen Zhenghui's imagination. When they finished talking and had dinner together, she almost thought that he was also a time traveler.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
