Changping, northern suburbs, Zhuxinzhuang.
Gong Ce stood at the gate of Beijing Electric School, and a familiar figure slowly entered his sight. After a while, he stopped in front of him.
Opening the car door, as soon as I got into the seat, Yu Guangli noticed that Fang Yan frowned in a ball, looking very thoughtful.
"What's wrong? Today's meeting was unsatisfactory? Didn't solve the problem of "The Great Battle" creation?"
"No, 101's problem has been solved, but it's also a A new problem came out."
While driving, Fang Yan talked about the controversies and differences at the seminar in a concise manner. "To make "The Great Decisive Battle" a main theme movie? That's right, "The Main Melody" is your strength!" Gong Zhi was surprised. "The problem is not here, but about 'highlighting the main theme and adhering to diversity'."
Fang Yan talked endlessly.
Gong Ce also shared his views. After all, during his study at Beijing Film Academy, he not only learned how to become a director, but also often discussed the most cutting-edge topics in the film industry on campus, such as the "entertainment films" proposed by the dialect. "Commercial film" and "main theme".
And just like the film industry, the support of "entertainment films" and the support of "main themes" in Beijing Film Academy are almost in opposition to each other.
So when I heard the dialect mention "main theme commercial films" or even "main theme entertainment films", I was so surprised that I couldn't add to it. "You can think of it, but you actually want to combine the main theme and the entertainment film." "This is a shame, I can't say it for a while. It's clear that when we get home, we will sit down and chat slowly."
"I am going to write a manuscript called "Where does the main melody movie go?"
Fang Yan stepped on the accelerator and drove unimpeded towards Shichahai.
…………………
The next day, taking advantage of the 30th anniversary literary and artistic exchange activity to the end, Fangyan came to Yonghegong Street with the first draft of "Where is the main melody movie?" The editorial department of "The World of Reasoning" summoned Shi Tiesheng, Wang Shuo, Yu Hua and others, and everyone competed to circulate them.
Then, based on the research word by word, how to add, delete and improve this manuscript.
There was a pile of information piled up on the desk, with Chen Ximi and Shi Lan buried it in it, and were specifically responsible for comparing the official documents.
The slogan "highlight the main theme and adhere to diversity" is not a random announcement.
There is a new idea that it has to be discussed and studied by many people so that it can be announced at a suitable time. If the central government does not mention it, what do you want to do here?
The order cannot be reversed!
So there must be a basis for writing articles. The current basis is the slogan "highlight the main theme and adhere to diversity". Therefore, this ideological argument must be in line with the spirit of the above. You cannot create new words randomly, you can only add them. Add to that, talk about your own "understanding" and "thinking".
"Yanzi, I think it's almost done, it's already very comprehensive."
Shi Tiesheng browsed from top to bottom, "Do you have any suggestions for additions or modifications?"
" Change the main theme to the main theme can be entertained and commercialized, and it can be enjoyed by the people. "
The dialect has been read through it. "Teacher Fang, will we feel like we have no silver here?"
In fact, Wang Shuo is not interested in the main theme or entertainment films. In his eyes, movies that do not make money are not good movies! "The thoughts need to be liberated little by little. Being half a step ahead of everyone is a genius, and one step ahead of everyone is a madman." Fang Yan said: "When the real main theme commercial film will be successful in the future, let the Everyone opened their eyes, and then they could mention it openly. So even if we think so now, don’t say that the main theme is commercialized or entertained. This will cause trouble. Do you understand! ”
"I understand!"
Everyone said almost in unison.
Yu Hua suddenly said, "Teacher Fang, what you mean, is this main theme commercial film written by us?"
" Ask it knows why!"
The dialect was fun: "We Work harder, at night, I will take you to have a good meal. Thank you for your hard work these days."
Then, after another inspection and strict modification, "Main Melody Movie" Articles such as "Where to Where to Go", "The Future of Chinese Movies: The Shackles and Ways to Go" have finally been finalized, and "Where to What to Go of Main Melody Movies" will be submitted to "Popular Movies" magazine. As for other manuscripts, when the first manuscript triggers a debate, it will be refuted or discussed in depth to add fuel to the fire.
And I am also planning to copy two copies of "Where is the main theme movie?", so that Gong Chu can bring him to Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama, causing a small-scale discussion in the two major cinema schools, and collecting feedback from teachers and students, but unexpectedly, at the seminar Zhao Baohua, who was fighting against Fangyan, couldn't sit still for the first time.
Just in the latest issue of "Huaxia Film Weekly", Zhao Baohua published a commentator article.
"I was transferred from Changchun Film Studio to Beijing to help Director Teng design a slogan at the main theme creation symposium held by the Film Bureau:
'High the main theme and adhere to diversity.'
' >
This is the first time that it has been clearly stated, and another slogan adopted is the unity of the three natures, namely artistic, ideological and ornamental.
Now, these two slogans have become the guiding ideology of the entire film industry.
It coincides with the fact that the Chinese film industry is facing huge changes. As the saying goes, it is difficult to accomplish big things inconsistent ideas.
I will talk about my personal opinions on the main theme.
The main theme was first proposed by a famous Chinese writer, playwright, and film screenwriter, and Mr. Fang Yan.
Originally referred to the concept of music, and was extended to the main spirit in literary and artistic works.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
My personal point of view, the main theme is to promote the spirit of the times, which is a social responsibility. It changes with the changes of the spirit of the times. There have been many definitions, but who would like to say give it a scientific definition? I don't think it's not..."
Although Zhao Baohua opposes the dialect's view on commercialization and entertainment films, he also accepts the inclusion of "themes that promote national spirit and can reflect the spirit of the times" into the category of the main theme. Among them, since it is the spirit of the times, it must be the same every period.
As for the national spirit, as for truth, goodness and beauty, he did not explain it in detail, or did not have the ability to unfold.
But this As soon as the article came out, it immediately seemed like a huge stone was thrown into the calm lake, causing a huge uproar.
For a moment, filmmakers from all walks of life published articles, mainly targeting three propositions: How should the main theme be defined?
What types of main theme movies include?
How to understand the main theme and diversity?
Not only conservatives, but some filmmakers who stand in entertainment and commercial films also speak out without fear.
On the Nortel campus, Gong Xi can also see students who support different positions everywhere, and even heated discussions between teachers and students.
"If the main theme refers to the content, diversification or content, it is very contradictory in itself. Therefore, the main theme of the content must be diversified, and we should correct our narrow understanding of the main theme, especially the only revolutionary theme. It is the argument of the main theme. "
" To implement the main theme, we must pay attention to both artistic logic and business logic, which means that the story is weak and the character is weak, and the spirit is too exaggerated, and the most basic creation is ignored. The element also ignores the basic demands of the audience, that is, the first thing to do is to make a good movie."
"………”
" Teacher Fang had written to himself before, "Save" Soldier Ryan, and American main melody have been explained, such as "The First Blood", "The Field Platoon", and "Top Gun", which are both American main melody movies and Hollywood commercial blockbusters, but Hollywood is doing it on the main melody. Take more tricks and melt the so-called American spirit into stories and characters."
"For example, "Rocky", it's a sports film, but its core is the real American theme."
"Why can't we use this as a reference and make a movie with China The main theme sports film with the theme of women's volleyball team! "
As soon as this statement was spoken, it was immediately attacked by a group of people.
A teacher at Beijing Electric tried to correct the students' misconceptions: "We can't do the main theme entertainment!"
"Can you choose in the face of a great disaster in the face of great disasters? Can you not save me when you die? Can you feel at ease and love your children are in love with you? "
"And then talk about the characters, can you complain without any illness? Can you leave the masses and play the role of noble princes, generals and ministers, young masters?"
"Even if you are a revolutionary leader, you must be similar in spirit and form, Can you say whoever has a box office will be allowed to act? ! ”
Inside North TV, between North TV and Central Drama, and even the entire film industry, there are quarrels in full swing, gradually starting to lose control, and the remarks are getting more and more The more extreme the situation is, both sides actually agree on "highlighting the main theme", but the difference lies in "diversity".
It seems that admitting that the diversification of forms is equivalent to admitting that the main theme can be entertained.
Conservatives, especially the narrowest one, unswervingly believe that the main theme is revolutionary themes and biographies.
Whether it is a main theme entertainment film or a main theme commercial film, they are all heretics! All are cancers in the film industry! (This chapter ends)
