Superstar Couple

Chapter 206 Commerce and Art

It is obviously not enough for a film and television academy to rely solely on the appearance of its students. Therefore, when Zhang Le said that there are many handsome men and beautiful women in the school, Han Ping didn't feel Zhang Le's praise, but felt a little ironic.

The college cultivates talents, not vases.

Naturally, Zhang Le was not sarcastic, but just sighed. There are many handsome men and beautiful women in the Film and Television Academy, and it's not like Yanjing Film Academy.

The entertainment industry has never lacked handsome men and beautiful women. Maybe it's because it's easier for handsome men and beautiful women to be successful in the entertainment industry. However, just relying on appearance, even if you succeed, you won't go far or long.

After many handsome men and beautiful women become famous, for their own development, they almost always perform performances that destroy their images, which can be seen.

Zhang Le and Han Ping came inside, and Yang Xiner and Deng Jie, the director of the TV series, were discussing something.

"Xiner, Director Deng, let me introduce my teacher Han Ping." Zhang Le introduced Yang Xiner and Deng Jie.

"Hello, Teacher Han." Yang Xiner said with a smile.

"Mr. Han!" Deng Jie was a little stunned, a little surprised, and a little happy.

"Deng Jie! I didn't expect it to be you!" Han Ping was also a little confused, pointing at Deng Jie and laughing.

"You?" Zhang Le didn't expect the two parties to know each other.

"He was the first batch of students I taught. However, I was only a teaching assistant at that time." Han Ping said with a smile.

"Ah? I didn't expect that we are still from the same school!" Zhang Le smiled in surprise. He knew that Deng Jie graduated from the Yanjing Film Academy, but he didn't expect that he was taught by the same teacher. This is also quite related.

Teachers from the same school, although not as close as those who learn martial arts, but with a layer of origin, there is a layer of connections. The entertainment industry is also the circle that pays most attention to connections.

Deng Jie signed a contract with Xinle Film and Television, and now has such a relationship with Zhang Le. Even if he can't be taken care of by Zhang Le like Tang Xiao, he still has some advantages compared to other directors.

Huaxia is a society of human feelings.

Even if Zhang Le didn't deliberately take care of Deng Jie, the senior executives of Xinle Film and Television would inevitably be affected by this relationship.

Deng Jie is an underappreciated director hired by Yang Xiner from Xingsheng Entertainment. To dig him is actually because of his talent in filming historical dramas.

The two companies, Xinle Film and Television and Xingsheng Entertainment, seem to be friendly on the surface, but the whole circle knows that the two companies are fighting openly and secretly. Poaching each other's walls is commonplace, and they will step on each other fiercely whenever they have the opportunity.

The conflict between the two families is apart from peers and enemies. In addition to commercial competition, in the eyes of countless gossip lovers, there are more factors of personal grievances.

The matter between Feng Lei and Lu Tong is still occasionally mentioned by people. At the beginning, Zhang Le stood up for Feng Lei, lifted the table of Xingsheng Entertainment, made Lu Tong notorious, and finally faded out of the entertainment circle. He slapped Zhou Yang, chairman of Xingsheng Entertainment, in the face.

However, the rapid rise of Xinle Film and Television has indeed made Xingsheng Entertainment, a Chinese film and television giant, feel threatened. It is not uncommon to use clappers with each other.

The opening ceremony of Yanjing Film Academy is still very intense. This time, I don't know if it is intentional to show off my background, the school invited many famous graduates to attend. All three generations, old, middle-aged and young, are represented.

And Zhang Le is naturally the representative of the younger generation.

Many circles are all about seniority, although Zhang Le's achievements are extremely dazzling. But the qualifications are too low, so when he speaks on stage, he is naturally ranked behind.

This is at the back, but it's not a finale.

Listening to the speeches of the few people in front, Zhang Le suddenly smiled wryly. Those people's work is not so much a speech as a report. And Zhang Le didn't make any preparations at all, he always thought that he really just went on stage and said a few words.

Say a few words? What Han Ping said at the beginning was purely Chinese-style politeness. This is polite. It's really a bit of a scam!

Zhang Le's popularity is undoubtedly the highest among the many speakers on stage. As soon as he came to the stage, there was thunderous applause from the audience.

"It's a great honor to be a visiting professor at Yenching Film Academy. I, Zhang Le, can achieve some achievements today because of the training given to me by the academy. I love this academy very much, and I am very happy to exchange films with you in the future."

"As a modern art, film has become an indispensable spiritual food for people. It is the main way for people to consume spiritual culture. At the same time, due to its physical attributes, it is also the main channel and platform for social orientation and value transmission. .Excellent film works should be an art form that combines literature, thought, artistry and entertainment. Of course. These are purely wordy nonsense, and you can learn them in textbooks."

"The current film market is booming, gradually opening up and diversifying. Some mainstream commercial films are too pursuing the film's sensory stimulation and entertainment effects, ignoring or even ignoring the film's cultural heritage and social leading functions. Of course, my films. There are also many people who are criticized. place."

"Do commercial films focus on entertainment? Should conveying ideas and artistry be the responsibility of main theme films and literary films? These are quite controversial."

"No matter what, entertainment does not mean excessive. The box office is not the only criterion for evaluating movies! Commercial movies should take the initiative to take on the role of culture. This is my point of view and what I have been trying. I will communicate with you today..... .”

Compared with Hollywood movies, there is a gap in the transmission of mainstream values ​​in Chinese-language movies. This is an indisputable fact. But Hollywood is an active commercial film.

A commercial film is a type of film in which profit is the main or sole purpose of creation.

But if there is no bottom line to cater to the market, with an entertainment-oriented creative attitude, kitsch and vulgarity, ignoring the rules of artistic creation, and ignoring the "aesthetic" and "educational" functions of the film itself, it will cause the film to "depress morale" and "not chew". , there is no surprise. Regardless of past life or present life, there are too many such movies.

These movies did not give the audience the enjoyment of "beauty", let alone cultivate their sentiments with a pleasant spirit.

Excellent commercial films are also very artistic, such as "Inception" in the previous life. Usually art films are mostly literary films, with a stable plot without ups and downs, requiring patience and thought-provoking.

But now that the pace of life is accelerating, how many movie fans have that patience?

Zhang Le's speech received warm applause, regardless of whether he understood Zhang Le's words or not, everyone gave him applause. The applause seemed to be given not to Zhang Le's content, but to him.

Successful people, what they say is their successful experience. But that's someone else's experience.

Every filmmaker has his own thinking, his own point of view. It is not good to make a movie if you follow what others say.

Regardless of whether others agree with his views or not, Zhang Le will still go his own way. Otherwise, he would not have made "The Zhangs" with a very different style after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

After the opening ceremony of Yanjing Film Academy, Zhang Le did not leave, but made some references for Yang Xiner's TV drama casting.

The actors of "Shaolin Soccer" are gradually confirmed, and now only the heroine is still uncertain. The heroine's story about who will be the winner has attracted the attention of movie fans and the media. (to be continued ~^~)
