Although they had met once before and had a pleasant conversation with each other, Rong Guang never thought that he would work with Zhang Zhaozhong on a show. I guess the director was also surprised, right?

Dou Wentao was equally surprised: "Professor Zhang, Director Rong, have you known each other before?"

The two nodded, and Zhang Zhaozhong explained: "We met by chance and had a pleasant exchange." As for the specific details, including the meeting at the naval base, we will skip it.

Seeing that the topic seemed to be getting further and further away, Dou Wentao quickly said: "Director Rong, you seem to be quite young? And your academic qualifications are not high. You became a director through your own efforts, right?"

“I worked hard, but I didn’t expect it to be so fast!”

"Are you surprised by the success?"

"It depends on which aspect. In fact, at my age, I am still more interested in being a big star. Why did I suddenly become a director?" Rong Guang joked.

Amid laughter, Rong Guang explained with a smile: "I thought that if I could become a director around the age of 40, my life would be complete."

"Have you read the recent comment articles? They are questioning the directors born in the 70s and 80s? Especially Han Han, he must have just turned 20, right?"

"This is not a matter of age, but a matter of the times." Rong Guang began to make fierce revelations, "They have been quickly eliminated by the times, but they can still exert their remaining heat. If you don't believe it, wait ten years, if someone publishes the same

No one will refute your remarks, and people will only look at you with caring eyes for the mentally retarded."

"Huh?" Dou Wentao was surprised, "Caring for the mentally retarded? Director Rong, remind you that although "The Sonorous Three Walks" encourages speaking freely, your choice of words...?"

"It seems that this is a curse word?" Rong Guang laughed and said, "But what I describe is a very cruel reality. Wen Tao, Professor Zhang, the times are changing so fast, many people can no longer keep up. We all

You know, we are now in the third industrial revolution represented by computers and the Internet. But in my personal judgment, the fourth industrial revolution represented by wireless communications and artificial intelligence may begin in a few years."

"The fourth industrial revolution?" Even Zhang Zhaozhong was shocked this time, "Xiao Rong, do you have any scientific basis for your statement?"

"Personal digital terminals are only a few years away from mature products, right?" Rong Guang explained, "That is, a smartphone has more than just the functions of making calls and sending text messages. In the future, it will be like carrying a computer with you, but

With the Internet, you can have entertainment, watch movies, play games, etc., shop, and even make electronic payments, that is, electronic wallets, covering everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation, and will bring about earth-shaking changes in our lives."

Dou Wentao smiled and said: "Let's leave aside the technological aspects for now. Director Rong, what does that have to do with young people becoming directors?"

"Wen Tao, let me correct you. It's not that young people become directors, but that the requirements of the director's profession have become completely different."

"oh?"

"I summarized it and found that it has the following three characteristics: First, the division of labor among the crew is becoming more and more detailed, which means it is becoming more and more professional. Like in the past - one camera can dominate the world? Isn't it impossible?

, but it will definitely not be mainstream.”

Dou Wentao and Zhang Zhaozhong both nodded, which is easy to understand.

Rong Guang continued: "Second, the threshold is getting lower and lower. Can you imagine that if we enter the era of smartphones in the future, theoretically, you can shoot a movie with your own mobile phone? Then everyone can be a director, right?

?”

Dou Wentao was delighted: "This is indeed a good idea. I also want to be a director? But no one will watch the film, right? The quality of that kind of movie...? There is no need to discuss it, right?"

Rong Guang smiled and nodded: "This is back to the first point - the division of labor is becoming more and more detailed! If the crew is equipped with a very professional team, you Wen Tao will provide an idea and shoot according to your requirements and aesthetics.

Let’s not talk about whether it’s a bad movie or not, at least it’s a well-made movie, right?”

Seeing Dou Wentao and Zhang Zhaozhong thoughtful, Rong Guang continued: "Thirdly, the competition is becoming more and more fierce. For example, in our country, at least hundreds of millions of people have such conditions. They all have mobile phones? They can't take pictures.

Long films, but can you make short films of a few minutes or even tens of seconds? Of course, most people are just hobbies, but there will always be some people among them who have ideas. Is this population base several million? Among these hundreds of millions of people

, or stand out among millions of people? The threshold is indeed low, and the competition will be more difficult, right?"

Zhang Zhaozhong nodded: "Don't say anything, I don't understand the movie, but Xiao Rong's statement still sounds reasonable."

Rong Guang said: "Actually, one method can solve all problems. I'm talking about movies, which have actually affected all walks of life. Let's talk about the army! Are professional arms becoming more and more refined? The commander's requirements are no longer like literature and art.

The ingenious calculations in the works are all calculated with just a few clicks. A friend of mine in the army said, now you require engineers and mathematicians?"

Zhang Zhaozhong laughed: "It's really like this! In our army..."

We cannot let Guang Guang perform a one-man show alone. Zhang Zhaozhong should also be given the opportunity to express some opinions.

The three people discussed the changes of the times, mainly lamenting that the changes were so fast that people were dazzled and overwhelmed.

Rong Guang took up the topic at the right time: "Let me say something here, the times are really different. Our cultural circle used to be elite culture. The threshold here is relatively high. If a literary work is to be published, you first need to get it approved by an editor? Think about it.

To make a movie, there are more processes. Just reviewing the script requires repeated meetings and studies. In fact, the cultural elite has completely controlled the channels. Now it has become completely different. All you need is a computer.

You can write online articles, directly opening up the channel between the author and the reader. The audience can directly comment on the movie you make on the forum. There is no need for film critics at all. The audience’s collective evaluation of you is the most objective

evaluate!"

"Are you talking about civilian culture?" Dou Wentao asked.

"The term civilian culture is not very appropriate. It seems to be related to low-level vulgarity. What I want to say is national culture. It completely breaks the monopoly of the elite and a new look will appear."

"There should be a mixture of good and bad there, right?"

"Of course, and the situation will become more serious. But we can only adapt to this era, and we must not go against the trend. Otherwise, will we return to the era of writing novels with a pen and traveling the world with a camera? It is absolutely impossible.
