Chapter 136 A Small Goal First

Spring Festival.

Robbie spent a Spring Festival in a foreign country.

In Chinatown, I lived with a bunch of relatives and friends from foreign countries.

There is a hotel in California. The proprietress is a Chinese woman named Sister Cai. She is the most hearty and generous. She even held a Chinese-American party.

A stewed pig's knuckle soup with soybeans made Luo Buli happy like a fairy.

That's right, now he has finally finished filming his part, and there is only a little make-up shot left, now—he can finally eat and drink with confidence, and blatantly make up for the lost meat.

Robli knew that Miss Cai was actually invited by Mr. Gu, just to let him have a bite of his hometown food in the unaccustomed America.

Then Robli used his own saliva to cover Mr. Gu's handsome face.

……

On the 17th, Mr. Gu took Robli to a place.

"What is this place?"

The two walked on the streets of Los Angeles for a while, and they didn't know where they went, but an old movie theater appeared in front of them.

The facilities inside are also relatively old, which are quite different from domestic cinemas.

But what is interesting is that the ticket seller is actually a Chinese.

"Two movie tickets."

Mr. Gu took the ticket and walked in with Robli.

They picked a movie to watch at random. Hollywood movies are always action-adventure-based. Robbie held up his jiojio, held a big bag of popcorn, and shared it with Mr. Gu.

"How about the movie?"

"Hollywood has always been pissy. Movies that don't require brains to think, just need to please the eyes." Robery commented: "Hollywood is a giant ship. It has formed a complete system, from planning, selecting actors to producing It is undeniable that although Chinese films are flourishing and have their own styles, there are still too many places to catch up."

The most indispensable thing in Hollywood is craftsman directors. The most famous Hollywood script is the segmentation theory. It is very clear where there must be climaxes and climaxes. This theory is the result of years of market testing in Hollywood. According to this set of The movies made in theory have compact plots and neat quality, which can scratch the audience's itch.

What China lacks most is artisan directors. Because Chinese films were influenced by European art films in the 80s, they pursued art in creation and opposed commercialization. As a result, directors did not like commercial films, but art films. They believed that commercial films had no art. And most of the things they shoot by themselves are for self-entertainment, which can't resonate with the audience at all.

This is what Wang Yinmeng mentioned in the "Actor" variety show. She is a director and she wants to listen to the voice of the masses.

Chinese directors like to entertain themselves too much.

The audience is not considered at all, and the market is not considered.

Therefore, Chinese films have taken a detour for a long time. After Wanwan Films and French films went bankrupt one after another - the films in these two places are purely pursuing art and rejecting commerce. Under the leadership of the trained filmmakers, they worked hard to learn and catch up with the West.

What Mr. Gu advocated was so simple, but it took many years to realize it.

Correct the concept of one generation and two generations, let them realize that movies are art and commodities.

If you pursue art alone, the film market will not be able to prosper, and you will definitely be hit and killed by Hollywood giants in the end.

It’s not enough to just pursue business. If creators don’t think, they are like popcorn, without depth and tasteless.

When a movie has both attributes, it is a really good movie and a movie that Chinese movies need to promote.

Mr. Gu smiled and nodded, "That's very good."

Just when Luo Buli's pigtails were raised, Mr. Gu said again: "But today, I didn't want to talk about that."

Robbie: "Huh?"

Robli: "Mr. Gu, you, you, you... you actually left blank."

Blank space is a way of expression. It first appeared in Chinese paintings, using corresponding blank space to express the content of the painting. For example, in "Fishing Alone on the Cold River", there is no trace of water except for a small boat and a fisherman. , the entire large blank area is the river water.

It was later applied in movies, that is, to leave blank space for the visual space, auditory space and even plot narrative of movies, that is, to express infinite intentions through camera angles, music or language without saying what should be said.

For example, in Jiao Dao’s movie, a scene shot in Anhui shows that the dry loess is boundless. In the four corner shots and the 30 minute and [-]-second drone shot, the loess occupies a quarter of the entire space. three.

Space is extended infinitely.

This shot, combined with the shot of all the villagers kneeling on the land begging for rain, implies and expresses the Chinese people's primitive belief in the land, and they would rather die of thirst and starvation on their own land than abandon the land.

And in a shot shot in the United States, this shot is used exactly the same as the yellow earth shot——

But the infinite extension is the railway.

With such a comparison, you can easily find that Americans do not have land beliefs, but they have a fanatical pursuit of industry.

There are also shots of ships sailing across the ocean.

The Chinese laborers traveled across the ocean to build the railway, and the persecuted Puritans in England traveled across the ocean to create an America.

……

Why is Director Jiao so famous that everyone in the film wants to participate in it? His films are indeed of a high level.

……

Mr. Gu's blank space was quickly discovered by Robli.

He found that the movie seats still had covers, and when he took off the covers, there was actually the word 'Jiahe' on them.

Robbie was taken aback: "Golden Harvest Films?"

……

Golden Harvest is a film company founded by Boss Zou of Xiangjiang. When Xiangjiang film was at its peak, Golden Harvest had theaters in Bay Area, Malaysia, Europe and even the United States.

Xiangjiang in the 80s was Eastern Hollywood.

Kung fu movies are popular all over the world.

At that time, it was also the golden age of Xiangjiang movies. It even cooperated with the United States to film "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which was screened in more than 2000 movie theaters in the United States.

Zou Wenhuai is also the first Hong Kong producer to become famous internationally, even surpassing the Shaw Brothers who made Bruce Lee popular.

Mr. Gu said, "This movie theater is one of Golden Harvest's theater chains in the United States."

Later, Xiangjiang Films declined, and Boss Zou sold his shares and theaters.

Theater chains are very valuable resources, and Paramount acquired most of them... and a small part was acquired by Tianji.

This time Robery was really surprised: "Tianji, can you actually buy Boss Zou's cinema?"

Of course, this is not the performance of Xiao Zhenting, and Xiao Zhenting does not have such a vision. In fact, from the end of the 90s to the beginning of the millennium, the mainland wants to cooperate with the Hong Kong circle. In the cultural field, it hopes to get the support of Hong Kong people headed by Boss Zou, so At the behest of the state, Tomato TV invested in the purchase of part of Golden Harvest's theater chain.

Tianji has always kept these theaters, even though most of these theaters have been compressed, and even unable to update due to aging equipment.

Now, Tianji belongs to Mr. Gu.

This part of the theater chain in the United States is also Mr. Gu's.

Mr. Gu's ambition finally unfolded.

"Eastern Emperor will create a new theater chain," Mr. Gu said, "...the big six in Hollywood are big Macs, but they would never think that a company from China would compete with them." made up his mind."

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Robli Xingxing staring at him.

Robbie girl refills: "Boss..."

"Ok?"

"Is it really going to rush out of Asia and conquer the world?"

"real."

"Really really?"

"real."

"So my goal is still small. I should say that I want to rush out of the universe and level the stars!"

"...This is really impossible."
