In fact, this issue has a very special social background.

In the past, the emphasis was on people's literature and art - it needed to be liked by the people and better promoted among the people.

Everyone should know the outcome, so they went to extremes, and in the end only those eight films were left. For example, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has a standard Hollywood commercial film structure.

However, in the literary and art world at that time, there were only eight dramas in the country? MMP! This feeling should be understandable.

When a hundred flowers finally bloomed, and influenced by the new wave of the West, they immediately went to the other extreme. Whether it was senior executives in the literary and art circles or teachers in major art schools, as people of the older generation, they had suffered from it before, and now

Here comes an overkill - a complete denial of commercial entertainment films!

It should be said that if Rong Guang's views were changed more than ten years later, they would be at best a light comment and would not even be qualified to be on the hot search.

However, today, such remarks are ground-breaking. The teachers and students present were shocked on the outside and tender on the inside. They were all dumbfounded: "How come you started criticizing us at Nortel even if you disagree with us?"

Only Dong Yiya secretly rejoiced: "I caught big news again. Fortunately, I was smart and took the opportunity to sneak into Nortel."

The boy next to him also had a dull look on his face: "Classmate Xiao Dong, are we at Nortel being scolded? Is Director Rong right?"

Dong Yiya immediately transformed into a delicate and weak woman, with a hint of playfulness in her eyes: "Brother Quan, I am still a new born nirvana, you have to teach me more."

The boy suddenly became energetic and patted his chest, almost breaking his ribs: "Haha, no problem." He could only smile stupidly and had no idea that sitting next to him was a young lady possessed by a drama queen.

…

"Director Rong, how can you say that art films are not important?" A girl with a literary style said excitedly, "I like your works very much. I have watched "Add a Long Shot", "Parasite" and other works, and

Your "Spark" just won this year's Palme d'Or. Your previous works were basically literary films!"

"Thanks to this classmate for supporting my work." Rong Guang said with a smile, "I never said that artistic films are not important. But I prefer to call them experimental films. Experimental films are generally divided into two types: one is technical.

Experiment. For example, my film "Lightning Chase" is an exploration of action shots, shooting, editing, etc. Now there is another film "Er Lang Shen: Momoyama Storm", which is also an exploration of action special effects. You can't say,

Isn’t this an experiment? Isn’t this an innovation? Just like in the past, sound films replaced silent films, and color films replaced black and white films. These are all technological innovations in film art.”

"The other type is what is conventionally called art film. It is basically an experimental exploration in narrative structure, lens language, etc. If the experimental exploration is successful, it becomes art, and some techniques can even be adopted by commercial films. If it fails,

, there is no doubt that it is a bad movie. Among the literary and artistic films every year, the proportion of bad movies is also quite high. But no matter what, this spirit of exploration and research is still worth encouraging."

"But here, there is a problem of resource allocation. After all, making movies requires a lot of money, and each movie almost costs more than 1 million. If you take the initiative to find funds for research and experiments, this should be recognized. If it is just for making movies

, under the guise of an art film? So...? You can’t just use all the money for scientific research and not build factories, right?"

"Of course, there is a scale issue here. What is the proportion of art films and commercial films? This should be discussed by experts. Also, art films are relatively risky and have relatively low box office, so they should indeed receive appropriate support. But how much specific support does the state provide?

Funding? It also needs to be measured in all aspects. I don’t know much about this, so I won’t show my shame here. Thank you!”

The teachers and students were all thoughtful. The original concepts were deeply ingrained and they could not digest them for a while.

A boy then asked: "Director Rong, since you said art films need support. Why does the Youth Creation Competition only accept local comedy works?"

Rong Guang smiled: "Here, let me tell you a little tidbit! When I was discussing with Mr. Xu Guanwen, we did think about other types of films, including art films. But in the end, we found that relying solely on ourselves? For the time being,

We can't do it. So we decided that in the first three editions, there will only be local comedies. By the fourth edition, we may add some other genres, such as absurd humor, black humor, etc., which will have some elements of art films."

"In fact, we very much hope that all sectors of society will join in. Every company can be responsible for one type of awards, so wouldn't the awards be complete? Even the entire competition can be left to the state to organize it, and so can we naughty boys.

All of them have withdrawn from the work of the organizing committee. However, this is the current situation. It is because - no money!"

The people below were immediately speechless. The words "no money" blocked all the words.

"Then why did you choose local comedy?" shouted a boy in the back row.

"You have to choose one, right?"

Rong Guang's words caused a burst of laughter. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dong Yiya finally asked: "Mr. Guang, why did you decide to quit after you just won the Palme d'Or?"

"The reason was already mentioned at Cannes, that is, the domestic market is too poor." Rong Guang explained with a smile, "You should know this data. In recent years, there are only about 100 films left in the mainland every year.

If I shoot more movies here, others can also shoot more movies. It is best to reach 2,300 movies. The simplest reason is that everyone will have something to eat. If it can reach more than 500 movies, then everyone can eat fresh seafood.

Already."

The whole audience burst into applause, this is the most true statement.

"Master Guang, can you introduce your girlfriend?" Dong Yiya continued to ask.

"Haha, no comment." This time Rong Guang noticed Dong Yiya. He recalled it for a moment and immediately recalled it. It turned out that a paparazzi had been mixed in!

"..."

The speech ended in a friendly and cheerful atmosphere.

Nowadays, there is no universal entertainment, and college students are more reserved and self-respecting, and will not ask those very pointed questions. This is also the first time Rong Guang is giving a university speech, and he also will not make shocking remarks. At most, he will... well, lightly sneer!

In the venue, the boy was already reluctant to leave: "Xiao Dong, are you going to have hotpot outside the school after school? I'm treating you, just the two of us!"

Seeing the boy's impatient expression, Dong Yiya suppressed a smile and said with a "shy" look on her face: "Brother Quan, isn't this not good?"

"Don't worry, it won't cost much." The boy patted his chest heavily.

"Then...okay!" This little brother is quite cute, and he is just teasing him. At most, my sister will pay for it when the time comes! Hee hee!
