Superstars start from the Academy of Film and Television

Chapter 353 A gap of more than 20 years.

What Han Fei said made the teachers and students on the scene fall into deep thought, especially the teachers of the college. It is undeniable that they did not take those Hollywood blockbusters seriously at all. All the teaching materials, including the films they shared with the students, were all More of an art film.

Because in their view, these films are far superior to those Hollywood blockbusters in terms of lens, artistic conception, and actors' acting skills. I know it in my heart, but not many people really pay attention to it.

To put it bluntly, even if Han Fei has achieved so many achievements before, he has never been invited back to his alma mater to give a speech, and some seniors who did not perform as well as him at the box office but won awards frequently appeared in major art schools. The school talked a lot.

Looking at the status of the major art schools, it is not difficult to understand why the entire film industry has such an attitude towards Hollywood blockbusters. Others have won high box office, except for the words: popcorn movies, special effects scenes, etc. There seems to be no other adjective.

Han Fei said again: "Are there no advantages to Hollywood blockbusters? In my opinion, there are, and there are many. Yes, movies are indeed an art, but at the same time they are also a commodity. For the audience, buying tickets is their It is a paid entertainment method, and many people may say that Hollywood blockbusters will always have the same rhythm, that justice will always defeat evil, and that Americans will always save the world.”

The students seated on the playground laughed secretly. Indeed, in their impression, Hollywood blockbusters are like this.

Han Fei nodded and said: "That's right, this is the cultural output that Hollywood blockbusters have been doing for decades. Even professional film practitioners like us will have such a view. It is conceivable how ordinary audiences will recognize it." Know?"

As soon as the voice fell, the playground was buzzing.

"This is a bit too conspiracy theory, isn't it?"

"I think it makes sense. This is indeed the concept that the United States has exported to the world."

Han Fei said again: "In my opinion, the complete industrial system of Hollywood movies has brought them at least three major benefits. First, the reproducibility of works. Among them, various series of Hollywood movies are plundering the global box office, and many viewers are even willing to pay for the sequel after watching the previous series of movies. They call this behavior "feelings"

"Secondly, they have packaged many so-called international superstars. As long as they have starred in some series of movies, their market is not only the United States, but fans all over the world will pay for them."

"Thirdly, the export of culture, the culture of the U.S. is actually well understood by everyone, and it seems very beautiful. The so-called American dream is just the American dream of the American people. The so-called freedom is not open to people from other countries, but in the movie They can beautify themselves unscrupulously, it seems that the whole world is in dire straits, and only the United States is the last paradise."

"Haha~~~"

After laughing, another student asked, "Then what should we do?"

Han Fei thought for a while: "This question is a good one. Wei Hai, a thinker in the Qing Dynasty, once said: Learning from barbarians to control barbarians. In my opinion, backwardness is not terrible. Huaxia is the nation that is best at learning. As long as you can Recognize the goal, and one day you will be able to catch up."

"The scary thing is that we have been several laps behind, but we still think that our opponent has just run a few steps ahead of us."

After a burst of applause, another student asked a question: "Senior Han Fei, I have watched [Looking for the Dragon] during the Chinese New Year, and the 3D special effects in it seem very realistic to me. Excuse me, if you take this work In terms of industrialization, how far do you think it is from Hollywood?"

Many students on the playground looked up and waited for Han Fei's answer. Obviously, after being hit, they needed some chicken soup for their souls.

But it is obvious that Han Fei is not a good cook, at most he can only cook dark dishes, and he sighed helplessly: "Let's put it this way, the 3D effect of [Looking for the Dragon] is equivalent to that of Hollywood a few years ago." The level of industrialization of our crew is at least 20 years behind the professional crew of real Hollywood giants."

"Ah?" The students were in mourning, one by one almost had exclamation marks and question marks on their foreheads.

Han Fei said sternly, "Maybe you think I'm alarmist, so let me give you an example. You should all know the werewolves that often appear in Hollywood blockbusters, right?"

"I know." The students nodded.

Han Fei made a gesture: "If we use our existing special effects technology, we can only quickly advance the process of turning people into werewolves in a short period of time at most. In detail, it is definitely not possible to watch, but in Hollywood movies, it can be done." The whole process of growing black hair on a person's body, changing his face into a wolf, and finally turning into a wolf is completely filmed. I believe you should have seen similar movies."

"I've seen it, and it really made my heart shudder."

"I've seen it too. The special effects are really well done, but I haven't talked about how to make them in class."

Han Fei said again: "Actually, this short ten-second picture requires a team with a high degree of industrialization. First of all, it requires a part of makeup. Well, to be precise, it should be a combination of makeup and props. If the shot of becoming a werewolf is completely made with special effects, the whole picture will look fake, but through makeup, the fur is pasted on the actor's body from short to long, and then modified with special effects, the whole picture will look very real, and it can be faked. Effect."

"If you look at it at a slow speed, you can even see the natural shaking of the werewolf's hair, which needs to be coordinated with the motion capture system. In short, so far, I haven't seen any domestic crew that can achieve such fine detail. Operate, and Hollywood was able to do this more than a decade ago."

"Then, wouldn't it be very difficult and tiring for us to chase like this?" Some people couldn't help but feel a little frustrated after hearing this.

Han Fei said: "Of course, if we don't work hard and are not tired, how can we have a chance? It's because no one is doing it, so if there is a little achievement, it will be seen by others. Isn't [Xunlong Jue] the most Good proof?"

There was thunderous applause for a while, and Tao Yuehua also applauded for this lover from the audience. In fact, Han Fei's speech at Beijing Film and Television was facilitated by her alone. That's right, Han Fei has indeed been very successful in the film and television industry these years. But because there are no awards, it doesn't actually have much influence in the mainstream literary and art circles.

You must know that these teachers and professors in the art school are the judges of various film and television awards all year round. Only with their approval, Han Fei, including the actors who often make his films, will not be treated differently.

Don't underestimate this point, sometimes prejudice is a big mountain, if you don't move it, it will always stand in front of you.

After the speech, Han Fei was inevitably taken for a group photo by the enthusiastic juniors, and then Tao Yuehua arranged for him to have dinner with the school leaders.

For Tao Yuehua's good intentions, Han Fei was naturally deeply moved, but just like Tao Yuehua never mentioned it, Han Fei never said a word of thanks, maybe this is the tacit understanding between them.
