Chapter 1138

On the day before Christmas, other executives of DreamWorks arrived in China with the proposed contract, ready to carry out a formal signing ceremony with Li Mu. The cooperation between DreamWorks and Makino image is the beginning of the in-depth cooperation between the Chinese film industry and Hollywood.

The whole DreamWorks attaches great importance to this cooperation. They and Li Mu take what they need respectively. They want to use the film ticketing system to enhance their influence in the North American film industry. Li Mu hopes that DreamWorks and Spielberg can do a good job in promoting the ancestors of China and also improve the overall level of Chinese films.

In order to sign the contract, Li Mu summoned Ning Hao, Teng Huatao, Tang Wei, Huang Bo, Zhang kexuan and Du Wei to Shenzhen. Before signing the contract, he talked with several big men of DreamWorks, including Spielberg.

This detailed discussion is arranged in the banquet hall of a five-star hotel in Shenzhen. Although the signing ceremony will be held here tomorrow, today's meeting is not open to the outside world and the media.

For Ning Hao and Teng Huatao, they are both new directors. Although the box office of those years has reached 400 million and created the history of Chinese film box office, Teng Huatao is still very modest because he knows in his heart that 40% of the box office of this film comes from the story itself, 30% from the publicity and promotion, 20% from the cast , it's very good to have 10% influence.

Ning Hao's crazy stone hasn't been released yet. At present, it's a new director who is more modest and cautious than Teng Huatao.

The DreamWorks giants, especially Spielberg, may not have much money, but their influence in the film and television industry is definitely world-class. For Ning Hao and Teng Huatao, they feel that they are the players of the second-class clubs in China who meet Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, they are excited and humble.

In this interview, Li Mu put forward relatively specific requirements for DreamWorks: "first of all, in the future, for the films that both sides cast together in China, it is necessary to use the actors of Makino image, and the proportion of the important actors in China and the west is about 5:5;

the big guys of DreamWorks immediately said:" no problem, according to 5:5, if there are special themes, they can also give more Chinese actors The tilt of. "

Li Mu also put forward other requirements: "in exchange, DreamWorks films in the United States and other parts of the world, from the production team to the cast, must provide a certain number of bottoms for the Makino image. Makino image has the right to provide no more than two Chinese actors and no more than two crew members in every real life movie of DreamWorks in the future. ”

on the one hand, this requirement is to let the production team and actor team of Muye image learn from Hollywood experience, on the other hand, it is also to help the actors of Muye image enter Hollywood. Li Mu knows that the export of Chinese film and television industry to the domestic market is the driving force. He doesn't want to let go of the opportunity that actors go to Hollywood to participate in a movie with zero pay and become a front-line or even super front-line after returning home.

DreamWorks has no bargaining over Li Mu's requirements. It takes all the orders. The only goal is the muying ticketing system. As long as Li Mu doesn't propose to reduce their share proportion, they will never give any suggestions to Li Mu's requirements. After all, Li Mu's 20% shares are not given in vain, even if they don't need money, they also need to exchange resources.

Seeing DreamWorks has a very good attitude, and Li Mu is also very satisfied with it. He said to Spielberg and other DreamWorks leaders, "in the future, if our director of Makino image doesn't have a play to shoot, I will send them to DreamWorks to learn how to make movies in Hollywood, from script, preparation, casting, shooting, editing and later stage, all these are what they need Where to learn. "

Spielberg said with a smile, "Mr. Li, you can rest assured that every production team of DreamWorks will be open to you to observe in the future. During the process of watching, our staff must know everything and say everything."

Li Mu nodded and looked at Ning Hao and Teng Huatao, who were excited. He said with a smile, "if you go to Hollywood to study in the future, you must sink down to learn the most advanced production experience of Hollywood, which will greatly promote the development of our country's film and television industry."

Both of them nodded in succession, excited without any attachment.

At this time, Spielberg said: "Mr. Li, in these days in China, I deliberately looked for some Chinese movie DVDs to watch, and found that there was a very serious problem, that is, the quality of the actors was uneven. I watched every movie, and most of the actors gave me a feeling that I didn't understand the performance at all, as if most people appeared in front of the camera It's very fake. It's either not strong enough or too strong. Not only the mass actors, but also many leading actors have such problems. If this problem can't be solved in the future, the quality of our cooperative films will be greatly affected in the future. "

Li Mu smacked his lips and sighed: "to tell you the truth, Steven, this is also a place I have always been very helpless. The biggest problem in China is the overall lack of quality of employees. There are only a few authoritative film and television colleges in China, and most of the rest are Art Colleges that focus on making money. In this case, let alone the art colleges that make money, even the authoritative films It seems that the college is full of hidden rules and secret box operation. The real capable people can't get in or get out, which is the biggest problem! "Ninghao, as an old angry youth, listened to Li Mu's talk about this problem and immediately agreed: "before entering the film academy, he thought it was the palace and cradle of the film and television industry. After entering the film academy, he knew that the cradle was too fucking filthy. Even the students in the performance Department of the film and Television Academy didn't really understand the performance, and how much development could they expect in this industry?"

As he said, he pointed to Huang Bo, who was a little restrained and silent, and said: "although Huang Bo has never received any real professional performance training, his acting skills are enough to kill more than 90% of the so-called academic actors in China."

Huang Bo hurriedly waved: "I can't stand what you said, rather than guide you..."

At this time, before Ning Hao spoke, Li Mu said: "I think Ning Hao is right. Huang Bo's acting skills are really better than most college cast actors. It's not only a compliment to Huang Bo, but also a torture to the industry. Why does this happen? Why are the first-class film and Television College people increasingly unable to act? In my opinion, it's no longer for you Then have the craftsman's heart to make things perfect. "

Speaking of this, Li Mu exclaimed: "Why are the ancient people's skills in making ceramics so exquisite, and why are many classic works so advanced in modern technology that they can't achieve the same reproduction?"? To put it bluntly, our generation has lost the craftsmanship of the ancients. Although the film and television industry is a modern industry, it still needs a craftsmanship to do a good job. The success of Hollywood is not only the success of business, but also the promotion of countless masters' ingenuity. What our film and television industry lacks is such a spirit. Everyone is pursuing fame and wealth and business If you are not proficient, you dare to come out and make money. In the final analysis, the industry environment is not healthy enough. If the industry is healthy enough, such people will not have a chance to make a start at all. "

Spielberg nodded and sighed: "from my personal point of view, many practitioners in China are not good enough. None of the films I have seen these days can reach the level of perfection. The most intuitive problem is the level of actors. So I think we must pay more attention to this in the future. If we can, we hope that the Makino image can Train a group of qualified mass actors. "

Li Mu frowned slightly, then his eyes brightened: "yes! It's very important to train a group of qualified actors! In addition, at least one hundred qualified mass actors will be trained. In the future, no matter what class we use, who is the director, who is the screenwriter, and who is the leading actor, there will be such a group of mass actors who can pass the examination, who will not lower the production level of the whole play, and who will not affect the audience's sense of substitution. This is a huge wealth. "

Thinking of this, Li Mu clapped his thigh: "that's right! It's about getting used to the user! We should use exquisite production and excellent products to improve users' aesthetic standards and improve users' vision. In this way, if those who make up the poor pieces dare to take them out to fool the audience, they will eventually pay for a chicken and egg beating, hanging the eggs and finishing up. As long as they can't get money, they will be forced by the market to rectify, or change, or die! "

Spielberg looked at Li Mu and said seriously, "Mr. Li, I think your theory is very correct. The main reason why the industry is so turbid and stagnant is that there is little competitive pressure on professional skills. If the leading actors will pay for their acting, the industry will not develop in the future, but if the quality of market demand is improved, it will be forced The employees should comply with the market demand, otherwise they will be eliminated by the market. "

Speaking, Spielberg added: "in fact, with your strength, I think we can set up a film and television training school in China, and then I can help you to invite the best talents from Hollywood to be professors, and train a group of new talents, especially actors, who are divorced from the influence of the existing fame and wealth field and complete Hollywood education A qualified mass actor, then such a group performance team, the overall impact of a film is absolutely great! "

Spielberg's words give Li Mu a huge hint.

He had never thought of opening a film and television training school before, but now, after careful consideration, the film and television industry in China is really rotten.

When the box office is in a bad situation, directors only want to win prizes, and in order to win prizes, they are willing to sell dog meat on the head of the sheep, and they are willing to use gray operation;

actors only want to be famous, they are willing to accept all kinds of hidden rules, and even to enter the film academy, they have to carry out dark box transactions;

and film and television companies only want to reduce their budgets and increase their incomes, so that the set props of films If you can save, you will save; if you can save, you will save; if you can save, you will save; if you can save, you will save; if you can save, you will save; if you can save, you will save; if you can save, you will save; if you don't have to perform well, you will only use the cheap

The practitioners in the film and television industry are pulling their heads at all stages of production. Few people will study how to make a really good movie. How can we make a really good movie in this case?
