"A symposium?"

After Miss Luo Quan arrived in Hengdian with her whole family, she was first approached by the production team of "Huaxia Film Weekly."

It's called a weekly, but it's entirely an online program, broadcast on the Six Princess Channel and the internet, mainly introducing the big and small events happening in the Huaxia film and television industry every week.

Besides this, every month, this program also invites some well-known movie stars to hold a symposium to talk about various topics.

And the topic they wanted to talk about when they found Miss Luo Quan this time was the dilemma of Huaxia films.

Yes, Huaxia films have encountered a dilemma.

The total box office continues to decline, domestic awards are just chickens pecking at each other, and foreign awards only have Miss Luo Quan holding up the scene; anyone with a discerning eye can see that a big problem has appeared.

But no one knows what exactly went wrong.

So they wanted to let Miss Luo Quan and a group of directors and screenwriters talk about it, not asking to solve the problem, but to bring it up so that more people know and participate in thinking.

Originally, Miss Luo Quan wanted to refuse, but hearing that the filming location was on the third floor of the hotel where she was staying, just a few steps away, she went directly.

She indeed had a lot to say, and since it was so close, she might as well say a few words; as for whether it could be broadcast, that was not something her dream could control.

The recording scene of the program was quite formal, with a round table placed in the center and five chairs arranged around it.

Very coincidentally, Miss Luo Quan's acquaintance, Director Jiang Wen, was also here.

The other three chairs were occupied by the host and two screenwriters.

Although according to the host, this symposium did not invite actors, Miss Luo Quan and Jiang Wen had both been actors, and both had done quite well.

After the two met, Jiang Wen also greeted with a smile: "Hey Miss Luo Quan, I heard you are going to film a comedy movie. This should be your first time, right?"

"Everything has a first time, just like coming here to participate in a symposium this time." Miss Luo Quan sat down directly, as casual as if she were at home.

"Actually, I don't know what there is to talk about; it's as if a group of us talking here can change the status quo." Director Jiang Wen lowered his voice, but his voice was loud to begin with, so no matter how much he lowered it, others still heard it.

Fortunately, the camera was not turned on, so this sentence was not recorded.

However, according to Director Jiang Wen's personality, it wouldn't matter even if it were recorded, because this was what he wanted to say, and it was also a fact.

It's like if you scold Miss Luo Quan for being ugly, she will likely laugh it off, because it's slander, not a fact.

But if you scold an ugly person for being ugly, they might get angry, because you poked their sore spot.

And who would be the people in the film and television circle whose sore spots would be poked by Director Jiang Wen?

I don't know, but there definitely won't be few.

After a simple greeting, the host reminded the guests that the camera had been turned on, and the program officially began recording.

"Today is truly a great honor to be able to invite such heavyweight guests."

The host put his hands together and said with a smile.

Then the camera gave shots to the guests in turn; when it was Miss Luo Quan's turn, she even waved with a smile.

"Today, the theme of our Huaxia Film Symposium is: What exactly happened to Huaxia films?

I believe everyone has seen the box office of the new quarter of Huaxia films, which hit a new low in the past five years. Clearly, there are many blockbusters, so why did it become like this?"

After the host finished the topic of the day, he cast his gaze toward Director Jiang Wen.

Among the guests present today, Director Jiang Wen is the oldest and has been in the industry the longest, so it is most appropriate for him to start.

And Director Jiang Wen clearly also had a belly full of words, directly dragging the microphone in front of him to his mouth and saying: "First of all, the term 'many blockbusters' is not used particularly appropriately.

Box office is something that generally needs to be supported by commercial films, so let's look at these commercial films that have been released; which one can be called a true blockbuster?

Not to mention comparing them with Hollywood; horizontally comparing them, they also appear to have no sincerity at all, overall shoddy, the script is either plagiarized or localized, and the actors are all led by a bunch of little fresh meat.

If such a movie can still sell well at the box office, that would be truly unreasonable!"

Sure enough, Director Jiang Wen opened fire as soon as he came up, directly saying everything that many industry insiders dared not say.

In fact, not only the audience, but many practitioners have also suffered from little fresh meat for a long time.

But there is no way; investors like it, fans like it, and for the sake of traffic, one must invite them, and the scenes cannot be too few.

But if too many scenes are given, it is easy to affect the overall perception of a play, so sometimes a cup of rat droppings can really ruin a pot of porridge.

The host was not surprised by Director Jiang Wen's opening fire, nor did he signal the cameraman to cut this segment.

In this way, the scale of today's symposium is still quite large.

After Director Jiang Wen set the example, other guests felt much more at ease.

Immediately after, the second guest, screenwriter Wang Hailin, took over Director Jiang Wen's words and said:

"Actually, it's not impossible to insert little fresh meat into movies.

It's just product placement; it's not like there haven't been similar situations before.

At the beginning of the century, our internet companies hadn't developed yet, and those doing film and television investment were some coal bosses.

Their requirement was only one, which was also to insert actors; in today's words, it was bringing capital into the group.

But coal bosses had a sense of safe production, knowing that laymen shouldn't command experts, so after they inserted actors, they no longer pointed fingers at everything in the crew.

How movies and TV shows were filmed was still all in the hands of the director.

But these internet companies now not only want to bring capital into the group but also want to teach you how to film things, and they talk to you about big data at every turn.

You say, can things be filmed well like this?"

Screenwriter Wang's firepower was also quite fierce, still taking little fresh meat as an entry point.

However, what he was really spraying was the capital behind it, accusing these capitals of pointing fingers at the creative process, thereby leading to the failure of creation.

This is also indeed a point that many people on the internet criticize.

Little fresh meat sometimes doesn't mean a bad movie, but after little fresh meat joins the group, grabbing scenes, fighting for billing, and changing the plot are the reasons for bad movies.

And they do this, of course, for their own traffic; in the final analysis, it is still because of capital.

These two people's words can be said to have hit the point.

Although it is not pleasant to hear for many people, it is definitely what netizens and movie fans most want to hear.

"Miss Luo Quan, do you have anything you want to say?"

The host passed the words to Miss Luo Quan's mouth, and the camera also hit her.

"How to say it, at my age, it is actually a bit too early to point fingers at the film and television circle."

Miss Luo Quan smiled slightly: "But if it is as an audience member, then I think there is still quite a lot to say.

For example, current movie directors seem to like to mix some crooked private goods into their works.

There is no problem with educating people, but if you use that wrong set to educate people, then there will definitely be no audience willing to buy your account.

Besides this, it is that the heart to film a movie is not pure enough.

For example, in a commercial comedy, you have to force values on the audience at the end, force tear-jerking and emotional rendering, rendering family affection and love, all kinds of feelings, but you just forgot what kind of audience your movie's promotional poster attracted.

People want to watch a family-friendly comedy, but you have to say that the core of comedy is tragedy, that you have to deepen the theme, and have artistry.

Then why don't you just film an artistic art movie? You have to hang a sheep's head and sell dog meat.

What I hate most in my life is this kind of creator who is not pure enough and has a literary disease.

Disliking the smell of copper, yet unable to treat money as dung, beautifying their behavior of disgusting the audience as having personality and ideas, but forgetting who their clothing and food parents are.

There are too many movies like this now, under the banner of comedy, but in the end, it always makes the audience cry and laugh."

After Miss Luo Quan finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present were somewhat wonderful.

Because she didn't know how many directors and screenwriters she had AOE'd unintentionally with these words.

As a type of art, those in this line of work have some literary youth disease.

Mixing private goods and deepening themes are the most routine operations; few people can treat filming movies purely as a business like Director Wang Jing.

But in fact, this is the most correct model for commercial films.

Hollywood's industrial production standards are like this, so the commercial films filmed can sell well globally, and art films can transport values to the whole world.

Miss Luo Quan said these words in a different way, and also invisibly scolded I don't know how many people.

The symposium lasted for half an hour, and Miss Luo Quan continued to talk a lot with other guests.

To tell the truth, the scale of today's episode can be called the best of the year.

After recording, the host kept wiping the sweat on his face with paper, which shows how nervous he was, thinking that fortunately, this was not a live broadcast.

Originally, Miss Luo Quan also thought that many words in today's program would be edited out, but after it was broadcast at night, she found that the Six Princess Channel didn't cut a single sentence, and put it all out.

This scene stunned Miss Luo Quan herself.

That night, the Huaxia Film Symposium climbed to the first place on Weibo hot search.

"This is definitely the program I've seen this year that sprayed little fresh meat the hardest."

"These words are also merciless; why haven't I seen this variety show before?"

"It's always been there, but they didn't invite these people before."

"Haha, Luo Bao's mouth is still steady; she has never spared anyone."

"To be fair, Luo Bao's movies have almost no little fresh meat, because she is the investor herself, and no one can bring capital into the group."

"So she hasn't filmed a bad movie so far, while others have one after another."

"The symposium continues; these people really hit the point, but is it really useful?"

"It's likely useless, but it can make those who fit the description feel disgusted for a while."

"Haha, that's indeed the case."

………………

Undoubtedly, this symposium helped netizens vent their anger, scolding little fresh meat once.

Before this, it was netizens scolding, and now finally there are industry insiders opening fire on little fresh meat.

If industry insiders and outsiders can have zero tolerance for little fresh meat in the future, that would definitely be great news for the entire Huaxia film industry.

This symposium is equivalent to opening the prelude, but whether it can continue to sing depends on the efforts of others.

As for Miss Luo Quan, she didn't just spray little fresh meat this time, but also those screenwriters and directors who fooled the audience.

But perhaps because of her great fame, no one has fit the description and jumped out to accuse her of being wrong so far.

Everyone knows the truth that the gun hits the bird that sticks out; whoever jumps out first will definitely be hit by collective fire.

And with Miss Luo Quan's current reputation status, there is no possibility of seeking it.

Moreover, the words Miss Luo Quan said are definitely recognized by most of the audience.

They can accept high-brow and low-brow, but they cannot accept that when they are watching low-brow, a few sections of high-brow suddenly pop out, and then affect the whole mood.

Can't accept being criticized on the internet, and then being criticized for having no aesthetics, only knowing how to watch brainless popcorn content.

But the problem is, real life is already so tired; why can't I make the way of relaxation more brainless and casual?

Not everyone likes to appreciate the so-called high-brow.

This is what Miss Luo Quan wants to say, and it has also been unanimously recognized by netizens.

Just like the comedy movie Miss Luo Quan started filming today, "Crazy Racer" didn't talk about any big truths of family and country, nor did it have any theme deepening full of literary atmosphere.

It is absurd, funny, and real, depicting the image of small characters in the market vividly.

And in the end, it also implemented the most simple values of Huaxia, that is, good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil; it is not that there is no reward, but the time has not come.

As for when this movie is completed, Miss Luo Quan estimated that it should be within a month if it is done quickly.

It is worth mentioning that this time the lead role is played by herself.

Like filming Rurouni Kenshin before, makeup lowers the appearance.

Gender doesn't need to be changed; male athlete or female athlete doesn't matter, just need to change some advertising slogans for aphrodisiacs.

It is also fortunate that this movie has no emotional scenes, relying entirely on plot and performance, and this happens to be the part Miss Luo Quan is best at.

The actors playing supporting roles in the movie have already been found by her, completely according to the region and accent in the original work, and Miss Luo Quan even strives for the actor's image to be similar to the original.

This point is slightly difficult to satisfy, but fortunately, Huaxia lacks everything except people.

All kinds of actors can be found, so there is no big problem in restoring the original work.

However, because she played the lead role, the lead's accent also became the local accent of Yuzhou.

There is no other reason, just because it is smooth to say.

In fact, in the predecessor of "Crazy Racer," "Crazy Stone," many supporting roles used the Yuzhou-Shu dialect.

This dialect does not have a particularly large difference from Mandarin, it does not sound difficult to identify, and at the same time, it brings a sense of humor.

So speaking Yuzhou dialect in a comedy movie is completely fine. ===== CHAPTER 924 =====
