Entertainment begins with Charlotte's troubles

At noon, during the break time, everyone gathered together to discuss their experience of visiting the special effects room and the costume and prop library.

"As expected of Hollywood, the special effects are great, and the special effects room is definitely the top in the world. If I had such a room, the films I would make would cost more than a billion dollars."

"It's the first time I saw hundreds of machines, so many exquisite models, there is no harm without comparison, our country is too poor."

"Hollywood sci-fi movies are the mainstream, and money is spent on special effects. I estimate that the equipment in this laboratory is at least hundreds of millions."

"Unfortunately, I didn't have this kind of special effect when I filmed Journey to the West and Conquering the Demons."

Guo Fan took pictures of Lin Xun's notes with his mobile phone, and said while taking pictures, "Lin Xun, what do you think?"

After pondering for a moment, Lin Xun said: "Special effects come second. What we should learn is the Hollywood division of labor model. From producer to director, assistant director, photography, art, and editing, everyone has a clear division of labor, which is as delicate as an assembly line."

"Domestic directors take care of everything, but here is different. The director grasps the core of the film, and the others work in an orderly manner centered on him. They do not interfere with each other, and are inseparable and cooperate with each other."

Everyone has different specialties and sees from different angles. What Lu Zhengyu and Guo Fan saw were special effects, what Wu Jing and Lu Jianqing saw were props.

What Lin Xun saw was the production crew.

Especially after shooting the girl who flashed by, he felt even deeper.

It is too tiring for one person to manage too much, and the various departments of the crew do not cooperate well.

If there is a mature team, where everyone performs their duties, like an assembly line, there won't be so many problems.

[Chapter 253.249: Brother-in-law, don't do this]

Organizing a complete team is easier said than done.

Art team, costume and props team, photography team, director team, screenwriter team, lighting team... Each of them requires a lot of money to accumulate.

Domestic crews are improvised.

Film and television companies buy scripts from the market, find directors, rent film crews, rent costumes, rent lighting engineers... Special effects contract, post-editing contract.

Nothing is your own.

The advantage of doing this is to save money, just like a buffet, take what you need, and just put it on the plate and eat what is ready-made.

The disadvantage is that it is not detailed enough.

A set of costumes has been used by multiple crews, and the audience is familiar with it.

The special effects are [-] cents, and I can't stand it.

The cooperation of the key departments is not good. It's not just the stars who play big names in the crew.

If you dare to say a word that is not good, it is more difficult to serve than the uncle.

"After I go back, I want to integrate lighting and photography to form a separate department."

"Costume props and special effects should also be put on the agenda, and strive to have a complete special effects room within half a year, costume props company."

Lin Xunyu couldn't stop being surprised, everyone looked over and their jaws almost dropped.

After a long time of silence, Wu Jing gave a thumbs up and said two words, "You are awesome!"

I'm afraid Flowserve didn't expect that after visiting their factory, there are still people in the team who have the strength to build an "assembly line" according to the gourd.

Only Lin Xun has this ability and courage.

As a director, they know too well how much it would cost to set up a separate department for costumes, props, photography lighting, and special effects.

The special effects room alone cost tens of millions of dollars.

For costume props, you have to open a special factory, hire employees, and hire designers.

The photography lights are all machines, and if there is no filming, there will be piles of ashes.

Wu Jing and the others can't make a few movies a year, these things are not needed at all, only Lin Xun, a film and television boss who keeps making movies all year round, can afford it.

……

Compared with the eye-opening in the morning, the itinerary in the afternoon is much more boring, sitting in the projection room and watching a movie.

The directors analyzed the movie plot, story line, and shooting techniques for them one by one.

In the evening, in the dining room, everyone was eating, Lin Xun absent-mindedly recalled what he had seen and learned today, and after a while he said:

"I heard that this exchange meeting was organized by several major Hollywood companies on their own initiative. Judging from today's results, they did not hide their clumsiness."

Wu Jing raised his head and glanced at him: "So, what do you want to express?"

"Food and lodging are included, and teaching is free. This is not the style of foreigners."

"You really don't think all this is free, do you?" Wu Jing rolled his eyes.

"Isn't it?"

"It's a ghost. Huaxia is the largest film market in the world. Who doesn't want a piece of the pie, and who doesn't want to be jealous, but they don't come here whenever they want, and Hollywood is no exception."

"Now it's not like before. Why do you think that only the films of these Hollywood companies are released in China every year?"

"If they don't engage in this director exchange program, hehe."

Lin Xun suddenly realized, no wonder.

Although the domestic film market is large, there are also many practitioners.

Hollywood film technology is mature, and they are willing to spend money to make films. Once they are let in, few domestic films can compete.

Ten years ago, Hollywood movies were all indiscriminate killings. Every year, the summer holidays and the Spring Festival were the box office champions.

Later, in order to protect the mainland film market, imports were restricted, and this has led to the prosperity of the last ten years.

In order to get on the table, Hollywood took the initiative to hold an international director exchange program, training Chinese directors at a loss throughout the process, so they have several films that can be screened in China every year.

"After all, we are not strong enough." Guo Fan lowered his head and ate, "If domestic directors are trying to make more good movies, there are so many things to do."

"Ahem, Director Guo, don't overturn a boatload of people with one shot." Lu Zhengyu said: "Sometimes it's not that everyone doesn't work hard, but it's because domestic movies have a lot of restrictions on themes and many things are sensitive. We can't be afraid of this, and we have to delete everything. If you can let your hands and feet go, I believe the film market will be better."

"Yes, our film system is immature, not to mention competing with Europe and the United States, Japan and South Korea, which are also in Asia, cannot compare."

"A friend of mine submitted a notebook last year with a very positive theme, but he was dismissed saying it was pornographic. He was so angry that he almost had a heart attack."

"These days, it's not safe to be a happy wolf, and it's too difficult to be reported."

"Is our director bad? Not bad. Are the screenwriters smart? Smart, and the film and television chain is also perfect. Why can't we produce good works? It is worth reflecting."
