"Director Greenberg, the Hollywood movie mode, what's different from ours, can you talk about this?"

After the boy with an old-fashioned look and eyes sat down, Wayne clicked a boy with his hands raised in the front row again. This question was normal, but this relatively normal question is the hardest to answer. Once a sentence is said wrong, it is very likely that all the favor he gained today will disappear.

There are not only students and teachers in the school, but also those media reporters and photographers in the audience. Everyone knows that every word he said here today was reported to the plenary session afterwards.

It’s okay to talk about the view of movies. Even if it causes some controversy, it is at most a discussion of the cognition of movies. However, serious topics are very likely to cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.

Therefore, Wayne thought about it carefully for a while before speaking: "Although I am very interested in the culture here, I don't know much about the film industry. So, I can only talk about Hollywood. You can compare the differences between you yourself."

"First of all, it is the production model of the movie." He first automatically blocked the sensitive aspects and said that he only talked about the Hollywood model. "In Hollywood, a movie may come from the idea of ​​the producers, or it may come from the hard work of the screenwriters for several years. In the past two years, it has been adapted from literary works, comics and other adaptations.

No matter what scripts appear, a producer usually needs to do profound market research based on the script or ideas in his hand, and then make a project plan based on the market research that is detailed, feasible, and has strict market planning. The producer will take the project plan and finally go to the film company to invest.

If the project plan is approved by the film company, the producer will jointly establish a production office with the film company, and there will be a production manager in this office, and he is the person who uses the film company to invest in recruiting behind-the-scenes workers. Of course, this position is likely to be the producer who provides the project.

The next step is to recruit behind-the-scenes workers, namely directors, cameras, crew coordination, etc., and then these people will start the preparations before filming under the leadership of the producer, including recruiting actors, making movie props, special effects, and building a studio.

When the preparations are completed, it is the director's turn to organize the filming of the staff. It should be noted that in most Hollywood movie modes, although the director presides over the shooting of the lens material, he does not have the right to decide to use that material, which involves post-production work.

Usually, the post-production work is carried out under the host of the producer, and most directors are excluded from this work because the project was initiated by the producer, and he is also the person who knows the effect of the film and market demands of the film. After the post-production work is over, the movie is distributed, such as going to theaters or directly distributing videotapes."

What Wayne said is common sense, and some people in the auditorium have heard of it to some extent, but although the exchanges between the Pacific are relatively frequent now, these common sense things are still unfamiliar with most students.

What surprised most people the most was undoubtedly the crew’s restrictions on the director’s rights. What is even more unexpected is that the director would be excluded from later work.

"Okay, what I'm talking about is the most common and basic process for the birth of a film." After Wayne briefly described the complete process, the expression on his face began to become serious. He looked at the countless eyes of his eyes from the audience, stretched out a finger and said:

"It's good that everyone has a basic concept of this process. Apart from those very few independent films, most Hollywood films are born in this mode. As for the differences you want to know, I can only give some data for your reference.

First, the project production funding issue. I can’t remember the specific data, but for the films released this summer, the average production funding for each Hollywood movie is definitely more than $60 million. The high production cost is also very stressful for the film company, so they will be cautious and cautious every movie that may be officially shot.”

Speaking of this, regardless of the surprise of those people in the audience who opened their mouths wide, he stretched out a finger at the audience. "Second, for technological issues, I would rather call this the film industry."

When Wayne started talking about this topic, the reporters in the audience tacitly took out their pencils and began to write crazily in the record book. These things seemed very valuable to them. This nation is never afraid of falling behind. They need to clearly see the gap between the two sides and then use their strong execution to catch up with each other.

"If I want to shoot a science fiction movie, then the first year in my mind is to contact Industrial Light and Magic, which is the top special effects company in the circle. Basically, as long as the crew pays for money, they can create a dream world for you, and this is part of the so-called film industry.

Of course, the film industry involves all aspects, but no matter which aspect, there is rigorous technology behind it to promote development. Behind the rapid development of the film industry is technology, which should apply to the film market in any country.

Third, this seems to me the most important point, the talent issue." Speaking of this, Wayne paused, raised his hand and pointed at everyone in the venue, and shrugged. "Maybe some of you will have the opportunity to join this circle in the future. Hollywood is looking for talents such as "best director", "best actor" and other talents around the world.

With the continuous influx of these talents, a "strong alliance" has also been formed, just like my film "Batman: The Moment of War", which includes a large number of talents from Hong Kong to help, and their figures are also active in the action guidance team of this "Batman: The Dark Knight".

I'll just say that. If you want to talk about this question, even if you sit down and chat for a day and a night, you can't finish it. All of these are based on my personal understanding and feelings. I hope it can be of some help to my classmates."

At the beginning, there were sparse applause, and then it gradually became more enthusiastic. Many people felt that the things the man on the stage said were from the heart and objective, and there was no fraud in dealing with it.

"What this guy said is not a lie. He is simply a Chinese expert. These things are very useful to us, at least allowing us to see where the distance is." A media reporter applauded and sighed at the same time.

"You said, is it possible to invite him to do an exclusive interview?" A reporter beside him looked at the things he recorded and murmured to his colleague who had just spoken.

"It's hard, don't be fooled by his approachable appearance now!"

A reporter on the other side turned his head and whispered: "I was in charge of overseas news before, and I know more or less about this Hollywood director. He is not an easy person to contact, and there are also many disputes about him in North American media. Behind this person's sunny and tough face is a capitalist with a conservative estimated net worth of more than one billion US dollars. It is said that his private life is very chaotic, and sleeping female stars are like making new things every night..."

His words caused a slight gaze from the people around him, but they thought it was right. How could a rich man with a net worth of more than one billion US dollars be as harmless as he was on the surface? Thinking about the rumors in the North American entertainment industry, he believed at least 90% of his peers.

"Okay, due to time, we were finally inviting a classmate to ask questions." On the stage, Wayne saw Nina pointing her watch with her fingers, nodded slightly, and said to the microphone: "The girl in the middle of the fourth row, yes, the one with a ponytail."

"Well......"

The girl was suddenly clicked, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. She just raised her hands with everyone and stood up to find that she didn't know what to ask, but this opportunity was obviously very rare. She instantly put down all her hesitation and asked to the microphone:

"Director Greenberg, as a top Hollywood director, I believe you have also gained a lot of money and fame and fortune from it. In this process, how did you maintain your pursuit and constantly create more excellent works?"

"whispering sound......"

"Why......"

Hearing this question, many people at the scene sighed in a low voice. What a great opportunity, but they were asking such a question.

"Because I clearly know that the fame and fortune I have obtained, women, big houses, luxury cars, and respected status in the circle all come from the movies that have been successful in my hands. So, from another perspective, fame and fortune have been spurring me. If I don't want to lose everything it brings, I must continue to succeed."

Wayne did not hide anything about this issue and directly expressed the purest thoughts in his heart. Perhaps because of the Internet, there are not many news about him, but with his trip to the East this time, overseas information will spread here sooner or later.

With his news, there has never been a shortage of controversy between women and rights, especially those entertainment media, who can even make up a heroic restrictive story for him and every woman.

Such a person who has a chaotic private life and has never lacks all kinds of arguments, now pretending to be hypocritical and giving a hypocritical answer, which is no different from having a mentally retarded aura, so he chose to tell the truth.

But to be honest, it is usually the most unpleasant thing. As soon as his answer ended, various low-key discussions appeared on the scene, and many people's impression of him was reduced by a huge margin. Especially those media reporters, the eyes of the leaders immediately changed, and they seriously told the reporters around them: "Don't remember this paragraph!"

This kind of value is definitely not suitable for being spread in the media, and the reporters also know that even if they write this answer into a manuscript, no platform will post it.

The Beijing Film Academy event ended for about two hours. Most of the students started to queue up to leave the venue in an orderly manner when the host announced the end, but there was a special girl among them. Her eyes had never left the man on the stage, and she sat in the same place without moving.
