“Secondly, we have to worry about the face of those foreign adults who are getting angry. We can’t make the problem too clear, but we also want the audience to understand what our movie is about.
But also let them feel something from it, something that can give them the confidence to persevere and create a stronger sense of belonging to the country!
And how to grasp this degree in the middle is a big problem that cannot be overcome. Otherwise, singing praises will arouse the resentment of ordinary people and cause some people with ulterior motives to come forward to disrupt the situation.
It cannot be weak. If it is weak, it will not arouse enough resonance, and the movie will become meaningless or even become different things. "
Li Xiucheng became more and more shocked as he listened. Finally, he stared at Gu Qiucheng with his mouth wide open and unsightly. It took a long time to calm down the shock in his heart.
"I'll go, Uncle Gu, what you just said is right. No one can do your question. This is not a multiple-choice question. This is completely a proposition!"
Gu Qiucheng shook his head in disapproval and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you said."
"Exaggeration? No, no, no, no exaggeration at all!"
Li Xiucheng shook his head and said: "Uncle Gu, you have to know that creation is very accidental, otherwise there would be no such eternal famous saying as the article was born by nature and the masterful hand accidentally came up with it.
So, I wasn’t surprised that I couldn’t find the script after searching for it for a month or two according to your request! "
Gu Qiucheng was silent for a moment and said, "Really? Well, that's why I want to ask you for help. Your company's screenwriting department is quite prosperous. Let's see if I can ask them for help."
"Of course there is no problem with this." Li Xiucheng agreed without thinking. He had to agree regardless of whether the matter was successful or not.
"well!
I really didn’t make the mistake of making you my friend! "
Gu Qiucheng was very satisfied with Li Xiucheng's lack of hesitation, because the less hesitant he was, the more he showed respect for himself and his feelings for the country.
Li Xiucheng also smiled and said: "I never want to disappoint my friends. Although I don't know whether this matter can be done, I will let my subordinates go all out!"...
"Just try your best, just try your best."
Gu Qiucheng comforted Li Xiucheng repeatedly, but he didn't know that his screenwriters would burst into tears if their words were heard.
This difference in treatment is too obvious, and you are simply not a human being!
What was even more inappropriate was that Gu Qiucheng continued to praise Li Xiucheng at this time.
"You young people have the vision. You have seen the importance of screenwriters early and started to cultivate them.
We Yindu should also learn from you and work harder in this area. "
Li Xiucheng was very happy about Gu Qiucheng's opinion, because these words represented a change in the concept of Hong Kong movie bosses.
The glory of Hong Kong movies has gradually come to an end. Since 1997, Hong Kong movies have begun to decline.
There are many reasons, but there are three main ones.
First, piracy is rampant. It is slightly better when video tapes are the main target of dissemination. After all, the cost of piracy and the cost of playback are not cheap.
When compact discs became popular, their low production costs greatly broke out of the copyright market and had a huge impact on the box office of movies!
Second, after the return of China, the mainland has much stricter control over movies, and movies with themes such as zombies, police and gangsters, underworld, and horror have been banned.
Thirdly, due to the poor quality of Hong Kong's films, they have become more and more criticized and gradually lost people's hearts. In addition, Hollywood blockbusters have begun to invade, and the new films compared to Hong Kong's films have become even more disappointing.
The result is that from then on, the prosperous Hong Kong film industry fell into a state of sluggishness.
It's rare for a masterpiece to come out again, leaving countless viewers disappointed.
Li Xiucheng also feels the same way. Xiangjiang movie is the memory and memory of countless people, and it is a pity that it has not been implemented.
Therefore, he felt that the people should do something!
He can't change the future alone. Since Gu Qiucheng has a vague consciousness, he just takes this opportunity to have a chat with him.
As for whether to talk to Xiang Qiang Sheng in the future...it can only depend on the situation.
"Uncle Gu, we don't have to stick to our own three-quarters of an acre of land.
You can recruit scripts from outside. As long as you set up a sizable bonus, I believe there will be a lot of people swarming in with scripts in hand.
Especially if capable directors participate, the chances will be even greater.
In my opinion, there is actually a very interesting phenomenon whether in Hollywood or in Hong Kong.
That is, well-known directors often have strong screenwriting abilities.
You’re definitely right to find them! "
Gu Qiucheng shook his head: "This is not good. Well-known directors all cherish their feathers. At this juncture, not many people have the courage to stand up and say anything.
If I say something, some people may agree without saving face, but that would be a threat, and I would not do it.
Therefore, let’s start with the screenwriters, so at this time the number and quality of screenwriters become important.
I just think you have foresight, brother! "
Li Xiucheng nodded and admired Gu Qiucheng's ability to stick to the bottom line, which is a rare virtue for a businessman.
"There is a reason why I value screenwriting. In my opinion, the term self-written and directed encompasses almost all the rising experiences of well-known directors.
But there is too much contingency, and as far as I know Hollywood has been trying to make changes in this regard over the years.
Paying attention to screenwriting is one of them.
It’s unknown how effective it will be at the moment, but I believe it will be extraordinary in the future. "
In fact, what Li Xiucheng cannot say is that in the future, Hollywood will eventually combine with the birth of the Internet to form a unique model of writing popular dramas for later generations.
That's quite domineering.
I shoot a few episodes of a drama, broadcast it immediately and then read the feedback. It’s not easy to tell the feedback directly.
After receiving good feedback, the screenwriters immediately went all out to edit the series, and then decided the fate of the next characters based on the popularity of each character, thereby customizing a large number of classic dramas.
Although it sounds like the film and television industry has become very industrialized, the results can prove everything. It is not unreasonable for later generations of rice dramas to sweep the world.
But even so, Hollywood today cannot be underestimated!
Gu Qiucheng nodded and said thoughtfully: "It's true, as you just said, good movies are made by chance by good hands, which is really not a good thing for an industry.
I didn't expect you to elevate the status of screenwriter for the sake of Hong Kong Film as a whole.
Xiucheng, you have such vision and ambition, which really puts us old guys to shame. "
“I just hope that the industry can get better and better, and I think we can do more together in this regard.
Although there is a best screenwriter award in various major awards, I think it is not enough and the major film companies do not pay enough attention to it.
So this time, Mr. Gu, you might as well take this opportunity to set the funding higher. Let’s treat this matter as a bomb dropped in the screenwriter circle, causing waves and enthusiasm. "
