Chapter 297 Something Big Happens

At noon on the 9th, Lu Pingan landed in Beijing, and reporters and fans lined the streets to welcome him.

As the first person in domestic history to win the Oscar for Best Director, Lu Pingan felt the highest courtesy in his life.

"Thank you, another achievement in life has been lit up, I am very happy, first of all, I want to thank my alma mater"

"Thank you all for coming, I heard that someone came yesterday, I am really sorry, my flight is delayed."

"Thank you, be careful, don't squeeze"

After a set of standardized speeches, Lu Pingan quickly left.

Being low-key is one aspect, mainly because the flight was delayed, so some schedules are very tight.

One of the biggest things is that leaders will come to the Xingchen production base to inspect in a while.

On the Coaster of Beijing Film Academy

Principal Zhang of Beijing Film Academy talked about today's situation:

"Two leaders from the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Education will come today. Lao Hu, you are familiar with this kind of scene, so you can help out later. Lao Dong is also here, so you two can cooperate with each other."

"Uncle Dong is here too?"

"Of course, he is the old secretary."

Hu Qingquan asked, "Is it settled?"

"It's almost the same. You can tell by where they go first. If they go to school first, would I be so nervous?"

"That's a good thing. Lao Zhang, you are going to be promoted again."

"Where can I be promoted? As for you and Lao Tian, ​​you two can't run away even if you want to. Oh, and Ping An Ping An, do you have any idea to graduate early? Postgraduate study is useless to you. You can graduate early and choose to pursue a doctorate, or even open a major yourself. "

"Me? Forget it."

"This matter is originally because of you. If you really have ideas, just say it."

Hu Qingquan on the side reminded him after hearing this: "Old Zhang, don't get excited. It's not even a stroke yet. Don't let it leak out first, otherwise it will be a waste of time."

"No, I can't say that without knowing it. Tsk, why are you still wearing this suit, Old Hu? Change into a better one. You are meeting the leader. Pay attention."

Principal Zhang was very active and started to make arrangements in the car.

If it weren't for the space in the Coaster, Old Hu would definitely not be able to move.

Lu Ping An saw it in his eyes and was very moved.

This time he won the Oscar for Best Director.

If you really want to talk about the biggest gain, the improvement of personal status is not the most important.

It is because of the award that some things that have been agreed upon long ago have been leveraged multiple times.

For example, the talent training plan that Lu Ping An mentioned to Beijing Film Academy last year.

At that time, President Zhang of Beijing Film Academy was very supportive. Over the past year or so, he has indeed provided some talents to Xingchen. After Xingchen took over, he continued to train them, and now the Xingchen team has grown a lot.

The cooperation between the two sides is not bad.

But if we really want to talk about the nature of this cooperation, it is currently just a normal cooperation between school graduates and private enterprises.

But now it is different. The president of Beijing Film Academy called yesterday and said that the higher-ups are very positive about some of the more in-depth ideas that Lu Pingan mentioned before.

What ideas?

That is to officially set the goal to establish a domestic film industry system.

Involving the part of Beijing Film Academy, it is that in the future, related majors may be added, such as special effects, production, editing and other professional directions that are the basis of future films.

Then, with top private enterprises such as Xingchen, mainly Xingchen, borrowing the influence of Hollywood, in-depth cooperation and training talents.

Speaking of it, it seems that it is no big deal to establish a few majors.

But you have to know that the meaning behind this is completely different.

If it can really be established, it will not only benefit Xingchen in the future, but the entire domestic film industry system.

For example, in terms of editing, it is unimaginable that Beijing Film Academy, the top film school in China, does not have an editing department.

Editing-related teaching is only a side branch that is mentioned briefly, and it has not been separated.

In recent years, the focus of the entire Beijing Film Academy has actually begun to slowly develop in the direction of "performance".

Later, there was a very unpleasant saying that Beijing Film Academy was the initiator of various "wild performance classes".

Of course, Principal Zhang at this time was not without the intention to change the status quo.

For example, in 2003, Zhou Chuanji, a famous domestic film educator, wrote him a letter, saying that Beijing Film Academy did not have an editing department, and reminded Beijing Film Academy that its future direction should not be based on money.

But Zhang Huijun had just taken office at that time, and he was often powerless in the face of such things, especially when the entire film industry in the original time and space was in a state of chaos.

Various blockbusters have made a lot of noise, especially focusing on marketing, but not on quality.

The biggest beneficiaries are the actors, stars and directors in various film and television works.

The relevant staff behind the scenes are the fish under the knife.

The movies produced in this way, except for the comedy films with strong local characteristics, basically have no room to compete with Hollywood.

And this atmosphere in the film industry continued until the 10s. After experiencing various pains and adjustments, the film industry gradually began to focus on the establishment of the film industry system and the basic talent training.

For example, in the original time and space until 2013, in order to narrow the gap with Hollywood and improve the industrialization level of domestic films, the Film Bureau, which was still affiliated with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television at that time, reached an agreement with the American Film Association, hosted by Paramount, and selected 5 directors from China every year to go to Hollywood to learn advanced film technology.

Among the first few batches were Ning Hao, Chen Sicheng, Guo Fan and others.

In 2015, the company started to cooperate with Disney, Universal, and Fox, and the selection of personnel was also expanded from film directors to animation talents, film and television company executives and other roles.

Basically, those who went abroad have become the backbone of the industry after 2020.

In addition to sending people to study, they also gave people opportunities to display their talents. At that time, the production manager of China Film Group Corporation took a bunch of copyrights to Guo Fan and asked him which one he wanted to shoot. In the end, Guo Fan chose "The Wandering Earth", and then China Film Group Corporation undertook the largest investment and production management of the film.

Later, Guo Fan formulated three five-year plans to establish a film industry system, saying "This must be done, otherwise there will be no Chinese films in ten years!"

Then there was the "Wandering Earth" series, which realized the great progress of China's film industry.

Now it is 2006. In the domestic film industry, even commercial blockbusters are still in the "author's film" situation. The appearance of Lu Ping'an is like a depth bomb with a completely different style.

For more than five years, his style and achievements have opened up a gap with other Asian directors.

Not only does Lu Ping'an have outstanding personal abilities, but his contribution to domestic films and the film industry is also huge.

For example, when he was filming Batman 1.

Lu Ping'an asked people from Beijing Film Academy and China Film Academy to participate deeply in the project production. What does this mean?

No one in China can do this except him.

Without his connection with Hollywood and his strong record in Hollywood, mainland filmmakers would hardly have this opportunity.

For the higher-ups, Lu Ping'an is also a super surprise.

Just like everyone is stuck on whether to make semiconductors, and only a few years later will they feel that they must do it no matter how difficult it is, Lu Ping'an gave various drawings of 7 nanometers many years in advance.

And it's not just giving, but already started, and led everyone to do it together.

It's just that so far, no real results have been seen.

But how can the higher-ups ignore it?

Another point is that Lu Ping'an was actually still not recognized by the "mainstream" in the early days.

The reason is that there are no major awards.

Everyone just thinks you are a commercial film director.

Some people don't think it's a big deal.

But now, there are awards, and they are the most important of the big ones.

In addition, the failure of various blockbusters with high expectations in recent years has also promoted the change of thinking.

This has opened a big window for the "reform" of the superiors.

So people around Lu Ping'an, such as Principal Zhang, Han Sanpin, and Uncle Dong, have been preparing silently, and they did not start until Lu Ping'an officially won the heavy award.

Things were also smoothly leveraged.

And the first step on paper is the formal cooperation between colleges and universities, and between colleges and universities and top companies such as Hollywood and Xingchen.

Of course, the premise is that you still have to let the superiors see the effect you have made.

So today, the first stop of the leaders is Xingchen's Hollywood-level production base.

"Ping'an, don't be nervous when the time comes. You are not a big leader. Just play normally."

When they were almost there, Principal Zhang pinched Lu Ping'an's shoulders, making it seem like Lu Ping'an was going to fight on the field.

Lu Ping'an smiled: "Do you want to pass the cigarette first when you go up?"

"Oh~"

The whole car laughed.
