In the National Center for the Performing Arts.

Yang Ming looked up when he heard this, and a smile immediately appeared on his face and said: "Mr. Tao, can you not make fun of me?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.

After saying this, he couldn't help but shook his head, showing a wry smile and a speechless look.

However, it is no wonder that in recent times, because "Transformers" has created a miracle for Chinese movies at the global box office, it has been on the front pages of major media for days. The title of "Ten Billion Director" has been used in these days.

Mentioned many times.

He really didn't expect that Mr. Tao also knew this and used it to tease him.

"Haha, Yang Ming, you don't know, Mr. Tao just kept lamenting the exemplary role your "Transformers" has brought to domestic movies!" National TV host Bai Pan stood next to Mr. Tao and laughed heartily.

He said.

"Uh! Okay!" Yang Ming patted his forehead and looked at the two of them pretending to be depressed.

The Greater China Cultural and Art Exchange Gala held tonight, the main program is basically singing and dancing, and the cultural and artistic exchange has also become an entertainment exchange.

Otherwise, it will always be the same old way, and probably no audience will like to watch this kind of sleepy program.

But after several reforms, the cultural and art exchange evening has now become a platform for well-known stars from various countries to compete in singing and dancing.

The artists and stars who can appear on today's stage are definitely extraordinary people in the entertainment circles of their respective countries.

First of all, if you have enough fame, it is estimated that even ordinary entertainers and celebrities may not be able to calm the situation.

Secondly, you must have enough confidence and strength!

With so many big-name celebrities from various countries coming to the party, the party must have a matching host. Most people really can't hold up the venue.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the host candidate for the Greater China Culture and Art Exchange Gala hosted by Huaxia this year is Bai Pan, currently the best variety show host in the country.

For a person who has served as the host of the Golden Dragon Awards Ceremony for five times, he will have absolutely no problem handling such an entertaining exchange party.

Mr. Tao, as the chairman of the Golden Dragon Award Organizing Committee, will also attend today's party as a guest.

Because there was still at least an hour before the party officially started, the three of them did not go in and sit down, but stood on the sofa in the theater hall chatting and joking.

During this period, Tao Lao and Bai Pan both mentioned their congratulations to Yang Ming from time to time. The global box office results of "Transformers" really shocked everyone in the domestic entertainment industry.

Bai Pan is okay. As a host, if he hadn't hosted the Golden Dragon Awards all year round, he probably wouldn't know much about this aspect.

But Mr. Tao is different.

As the chairman of the Golden Dragon Award Organizing Committee, and the Golden Dragon Award serves as a benchmark for the local film industry, it was natural that Yang Ming's "Transformers" could achieve such miraculous box office results, so I took the opportunity to ask Yang Ming his views on the development path of domestic films.

!

Mr. Tao's inquiry was not like when Yang Ming was in the film academy, the teachers and students of the academy were so stubborn about business and art.

After listening to what Mr. Tao said, Yang Ming felt that this old man thought further than any domestic filmmaker he had come into contact with. Even in some aspects, the old dean and senior Li Canghai were not as discerning as Mr. Tao.

long.

However, the information revealed in Tao Lao's words made Yang Ming frown.

"Yang Ming, since you entered the film industry, every movie has been a great success. The movies you have made have also become the target of many movie companies to follow suit. As far as I know, there will be several science fiction movies released next year.

, and the information I learned from the Film Association is that a large amount of capital has poured into the film industry in recent months, and the number of new films next year will double or triple compared to before!"

Having said this, Mr. Tao couldn't help but frowned deeply, and asked a little uneasily: "Yang Ming, I know you can reach this point today. In addition to your talent, I think you can see further than others, and it's you who

One of the important reasons for success, can you tell me what your true thoughts are on the issue I just mentioned?"

Yang Ming frowned slightly when he heard this, then glanced at Mr. Tao, and couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for the old man in his heart.

This is an old man who devotes himself wholeheartedly to the Chinese film industry!

The competition between commercial blockbusters and art films is, to put it bluntly, capital factors.

You may not be able to make a blockbuster movie if you have money, but you will definitely not be able to make a blockbuster movie if you don’t have money.

Among them, one must master one degree!

A large amount of capital and money poured into the film industry, creating a temporary prosperity. In the past, this would definitely be something worth writing about.

But for some reason, Yang Ming just felt uneasy.

He even suspected that the real situation in reality was more serious than what Mr. Tao said!

Although the world structure of this world is very different from that of the previous world, one thing is common, that is, at least in the past few decades, there will be no particularly big wars, and the war will be far away from the earth, at least it will not involve China.

on the country.

Without the threat of war and a peaceful world, the entertainment industry will be extremely prosperous. This phenomenon is eternal!

Moreover, compared with the previous life, China in this world is simply a giant empire. Nanyang has long become China's back garden, East Asia has become China's Greater China Cultural Zone, and no country in the world can threaten China's national security. Therefore,

There is no doubt that China's entertainment industry will be more prosperous in this world than in previous generations.

In particular, the global box office of "Transformers" is as high as 8 billion. Even excluding costs and various tax expenses, the revenue is at least about 2 billion yuan!

A movie can earn 2 billion yuan a year.

Such a huge return on investment is like a stimulant injected into the Chinese film industry, allowing capital power that has long been determined to enter the entertainment industry to surge into the film industry.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming suddenly realized. No wonder when Liu Xinsheng called yesterday, he mentioned from time to time that people from all walks of life often contact Oriental DreamWorks and want to invest in Oriental DreamWorks' upcoming movies.

However, for Oriental DreamWorks, which is very cash-rich, it is obvious that there is no need for external funds, and Liu Xinsheng rejected them.

I see.

Yang Ming's face seemed to have figured it out. No wonder it was so random. He thought seriously for a while and said slowly: "It is inevitable for capital to enter the film industry. In other words, every corner of the film industry has already

It’s full of the power of money, but we didn’t notice it before.”

"I also hope that more people will enter the film industry. After all, without a steady stream of funds, it will be impossible for this industry to develop."

"However, even if the annual box office data of the local film market increases, the number of films it can accommodate is still limited. This will inevitably lead to a phenomenon. Once a film is made, it cannot be released. And there is another problem, that is, because

Due to capital factors, art films will become fewer and fewer, and in the end they will even disappear, and there will no longer be a market for art films."

Hearing Yang Ming's words, Mr. Tao's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but said in a voice: "How could it disappear?"

--well!

Seeing Mr. Tao's incredible expression, Yang Ming sighed silently in his heart, and said leisurely: "This kind of disappearance does not mean that no one makes art films anymore, but that they disappear from the audience's sight, because the theaters no longer

There is no market for art films, and there is no profit. Theaters will never consider it!"

In an era dominated by money, almost no one will do anything without profit, and movie theater companies are no exception.

To be honest, Yang Ming is definitely not alarmist.

In the previous life, after 2010, the number of local independent films and art films produced declined year by year. Even if some films started shooting, they were already destined to not be released in theaters. This is such a sad thing.

What Yang Ming said was definitely not an exaggeration, it was an inevitable phenomenon.

After 2010 in the previous life, the local film market grew bigger and bigger, gradually becoming the second largest ticket market in the world, with a market worth hundreds of billions. This is such a big piece of cake, and a large amount of outside capital has poured in. This is inevitable.

When these incoming capital enter the film industry, they naturally do not come with the purpose of developing domestic films. They have only one purpose, and that is to make money.

The power of capital is powerful.

With the goal of making money, how could they allow independent films and art films that are destined to lose money to be released in theaters?

Although there are independent films and art films that make money, the chances of doing so are too small.

Compared with the local film market in the previous life, which would only expand completely after 2010, China's film market in this era has already shown signs of rapid expansion.

It is estimated that within two years at most, the film market in contemporary China will exceed 100 billion yuan!

And it will increase further.

Such a huge market is really too tempting.

Yang Ming analyzed the thoughts in his heart one by one to Mr. Tao. After hearing the end, the old man couldn't help but sweat broke out on his face and murmured: "How could this be? How could this be so? Yang Ming, you

Thinking of this, is there any way to stop it?"

If we go by what Yang Ming said, the future pattern of domestic films will definitely not be the bright future that the old man wants.

Can the film industry, which is full of the smell of copper, still be considered a film industry?

It would be better to change the name to Business Circle. This makes Mr. Tao, who has devoted his whole life to the film industry, unable to accept this future development situation.

Hearing Mr. Tao's question, Yang Ming shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Tao, don't talk about me. Even if the government intervenes, it can't prevent this situation from happening."

Do not violate any laws, use legal procedures to make money, and let you watch yourself making money, but you have nothing to do. This is the terrible thing about capital.

Neither the United States nor China can prevent capital from entering the film industry.

In the previous life, a large number of crudely produced movies flooded the screen, and countless movies with 3D titles made crazy money. In fact, this is just a side effect of the influx of large amounts of capital into the film industry.

This is also something that can't be helped.

In other words, this is an inevitable choice in history. For the audience, watching blockbusters with wonderful special effects is naturally more exciting than painful art films!

Audiences who like to watch brain-burning art films are only a minority after all.

Seeing the disappointed look on Mr. Tao's face, Yang Ming thought of some of his experiences in his previous life, and a few thoughts came to his mind, and then he said: "Old Tao, you don't have to be like this. This is the general trend. Since we can't stop it, then we must learn to

adapt."
