When the national team won the World Cup, the whole of China was excited, and all kinds of flowers and applause flew towards the national team.

At this moment, various media and TV stations are not lagging behind others, producing various programs and news reports to celebrate winning the World Cup.

Among these programs, many of them included Yang Ming's prayer movement in the finals and the "hitting off" movement interpreted by lip reading experts, which were mentioned many times.

Of course, regarding Yang Ming's behavior at that time, no one thought that the opponent's kick was entirely due to Yang Ming.

After all, this is too much nonsense.

But now that the national team has won the World Cup, it has become the focus of the world, and people all over the country are celebrating together. At this moment, no matter what happens, even if they know it is just a coincidence, everyone will talk about it and analyze and comment on it from time to time.

To put it bluntly, this is a kind of venting of happiness after winning the championship.

No matter what the phenomenon is, it will be regarded as a sign that the national team can finally win the championship.

Yang Ming also happened to come across this opportunity, which is why the media considered him to be the lucky god of the national team, although everyone knew that this was just a coincidence.

He didn't take this matter to heart. What the media said must not be taken seriously.

After the World Cup, colleges and universities across the country are about to go on summer vacation, and Yanjing Film Academy is no exception.

At this time, Yang Ming was called back to the college by the old dean.

There are flowers, trees, green grass, and the old dean has his own private courtyard in the film school. He and his wife usually live here. Their children have their own careers. Unless it is a holiday, it is basically impossible to come back.

Under the shade of a tree in the yard, there were two bamboo chairs and a coffee table. Yang Ming and the old dean were sitting across from each other, talking about something.

"I didn't expect it! No one expected it! In just one year, you actually made such a big name in the film industry. It's simply a miracle!" the old dean said with emotion.

As the student he personally interviewed for the art exam and decided to admit, and also the student he was most optimistic about, the old dean has naturally been paying attention to Yang Ming's development.

All Yang Ming's achievements were seen by the old dean.

"Haha, I'm just lucky. I also want to thank the school for all the support!" Yang Ming replied modestly.

"Don't be so humble!" The old dean waved his hand and disagreed with Yang Ming, "What is good luck? Strength is strength. If you don't have this strength, you can succeed once or twice by just relying on luck, but not

Maybe it’s so successful every time, and besides, the academy’s support for you is not out of the ordinary. Basically every director who graduates wants something from the academy, and the academy will do the same!”

The old dean obviously disagreed with Yang Ming's modesty and straightforward personality.

When Yang Ming heard these words, he smiled sheepishly and said nothing. He didn't know what to say at this moment.

——Boom

The old dean put down the tea cup in his hand, made a slight noise, then pondered for a moment, and said to Yang Ming with a thoughtful look: "I have watched all three movies you made in Hollywood, not only me, but also most of the teachers in the college

I’ve seen it all, and now there’s a lot of controversy in the academy about your movie, what do you think?”

Yang Ming's expression darkened slightly when he heard this. He really didn't expect that he had tried his best to avoid the disputes between commercial films and artistic films in the academy, but he didn't expect that in the end, he still couldn't avoid it.

China in this world is indeed extremely powerful compared to its previous life, but it also has some completely different aspects from its previous life, such as its so-called traditions!

In the past life, after the reform and opening up, China's economy developed extremely rapidly and its national strength was greatly enhanced. However, the excessive pursuit of money caused countless people to get lost in the materialistic flow of real society and could not extricate themselves. Money became their only belief.

This belief has penetrated every corner of China, and the film industry is no exception.

In today's world, China is unparalleled and is undoubtedly a powerful country in the world. Even Lao Mi is slightly inferior to China.

Due to historical changes, China has not experienced the ravages of war, making every aspect of China's traditions more deeply rooted than in previous generations.

The film industry is no exception.

"Haha, I still said the same thing!" Yang Ming said calmly.

"A movie that the audience thinks is good is a good movie!" The old director continued Yang Ming's words before he could finish.

After Yang Ming was forced to give a speech, his topic also became one of the controversies within the academy.

"Not bad!" Yang Ming nodded calmly. To be honest, he has a very clear understanding of the future development of the film industry. In other words, he is very clear about the development trend of the future film industry.

His strength is not very popular, and of course, he doesn't like the so-called commercial film faction.

It seems that the reason why the old dean called him home today must be because those in the college put a lot of pressure on the old dean.

When he thought of this, Yang Ming felt irritated. This time, he was not prepared to endure it any longer.

"Old Dean, in my opinion, the so-called dispute between business and art is a ridiculous thing. From ancient times to the present, can the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism have any results? Can the dispute between Legalism and Confucianism be concluded? So, for movies,

, it is simply impossible to classify it by simple business and art, and I always believe that movies are not made for one person.

There are a few people who pretend to be aloof and enjoy it behind closed doors. Movies are made for the public to see, rather than judging the quality of the movie based on a small number of viewers. The behavior of these people is actually the same as the masters of knowledge in the past.

, it’s the same reason to ban children from poor families, their biggest purpose is to fool the people!”

Yang Ming said sharply and unceremoniously!

In fact, this is also true!

Whether it is in the past life or this life; whether it is China or other countries, the struggle for the right to speak is always unavoidable.

To put it bluntly, the debate between commercial films and art films is just a struggle between emerging groups and traditional groups for the right to speak.

Yang Ming was very disgusted with this practice of competing for the so-called righteousness and then narrowing the righteousness to characterize others.

Art films, can they be called art films if they are made only for experts to understand and appreciate them?

As for whether the public understands it or not, that is none of their business. They can avoid all questions by simply saying "you don't understand." Is this a so-called art film?

Of course, the so-called commercial movies in China in the past and later generations cannot be considered commercial movies.

Commercial films in the previous life have gone crazy. After China entered the WTO, the domestic film market was severely impacted by Hollywood. Many well-known directors also fought back and used so-called "commercial blockbusters" to compete for box office market share.

But are the so-called commercial blockbusters they produce really commercial blockbusters?

Wrong, not at all!

Those are the things they shoot to make money. To be honest, they have learned all the fancy gimmicks in Hollywood film production in the previous life, but the real connotation has not been learned by those in China.

"I have watched all three movies you made. I found that these three movies of yours have a strong Hollywood style. Do you want to use one to conquer another?" The old dean thought for a while and said slowly.

When Yang Ming heard this question from the old dean, he did not answer immediately. He thought for a moment and asked instead: "Old dean, what do you think of the art films from South America?"

"Uh!" The old dean was startled. He had not expected that Yang Ming would ask this question.

The art films of those countries in South America and the art films of the Nordic countries are considered to be the two holy places for art films in the world. Some of the art films they shot that reflect social reality are talked about by countless people in the industry.

However, Yang Ming obviously had a purpose in raising this issue at this moment.

"If you fart, let it go and don't show off in front of my old man!" the old dean raised his eyebrows and said pretending to be angry.

Yang Ming smiled when he heard this. He knew that the old dean was pretending to be angry, but it was really difficult for the old man to answer this question. Yang Ming continued: "No matter how lofty the so-called art films in South America are in world cinema, and how powerful they are.

Influence, but Hollywood accounts for 90% of South America’s box office market share!”

No matter how excellent your artistic films are, no one will watch them, and the Hollywood commercial blockbusters that are looked down upon by others have already taken over their movie box office market.

Can this be called success?

If one day, even if the art films produced in China are recognized by everyone and win all the film awards in the world, the country's box office market share will be occupied by foreign films.

So no matter how many film awards the Chinese film industry wins, it will not help.

"It seems that you still prefer commercial movies!" the old director said sternly, "but if all the commercial blockbusters in the country are as deceiving as they are now, then it is better not to make them!"

"Can what they shoot be called a commercial blockbuster?" Yang Ming said with disdain.

No matter in the past life or in this life, facing the impact of Hollywood blockbusters, there are many powerful film companies or famous directors with outstanding reputations, and they have also produced commercial blockbusters to block Hollywood blockbusters.

But those so-called blockbusters they filmed were simply trying to sell people on their own, and were not considered blockbusters at all in Yang Ming's eyes.

Even in Yang Ming's view, no matter in the past life or in this life, the companies and directors who made commercial blockbusters have never really shot a blockbuster that belongs to China.

The success of Hollywood has attracted the attention of the Chinese film industry, and various successful elements have naturally become imitation content by various companies.

But they only learned the superficial superficial things about Hollywood. As for the essence, they simply didn’t have the patience to study and ponder it.

They have learned all kinds of exposure scenes, seduction scenes, sex scenes, and hot scenes in Hollywood blockbusters very well.

However, the strict plot logic, refreshing creativity, and real-life special effects in the movie are not really imitated by many people.

Because these take time and a lot of money.

How could those people be willing to spend time doing this? It would be better to use a routine, give it the title of a blockbuster, and film it as soon as possible and release it to make money.

Moreover, in this life, Yang Ming gradually discovered that many film companies in this world also began to show signs of shoddy production.

The old dean also noticed the disdain in Yang Ming's expression. He smiled faintly, knocked on the armrest of the seat, and said, "Then come and analyze for me what a real commercial blockbuster is!"

When Yang Ming heard this, he looked calm and composed, and his eyes were clear. At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the three major elements that he had just discussed with Barber a few days ago. If it weren't for the fact that he was planning to invite Barber to join, he had done a lot of preparations in advance, otherwise he would not be able to do it now.

Hearing the old dean’s questions, you might really get into a panic.

"There is no doubt that as we all know, at present, the most successful commercial blockbusters are those produced by Hollywood!"

After hearing this, even the old dean had to admit it. He nodded slightly to express his agreement with Yang Ming's opinion.

"In the past few years, Hollywood blockbusters have swept the world. In fact, to put it bluntly, they have only captured a few key points, big star lineup, big investment, big production, and exciting plot, and that's it!" Yang Ming said eloquently.

The old dean's eyes lit up. He raised his head and took a deep look at the students opposite him. He really didn't expect Yang Ming to know so much about the core of Hollywood blockbusters.

This concept was already well-known to everyone at the time of Yang Ming in his previous life, but in this life, it is still extremely novel and even eye-catching.

Many non-professional audiences like star power, but pay little attention to some important factors such as directors and screenwriters. Therefore, if Hollywood blockbusters want to make a good profit, they must invite big-name stars to act. Of course, directors are not prodigal and will take care of all the actors.
