The surging news reporter unveiled the book

"How do I watch online movies, first of all, all movie themes are blooming, different filmmakers have different strengths, they will like to make different types of movies. However, in the corresponding movies, in fact, for us, the core is still input and output, and how high our production budget can be, in fact, it has a great impact on the genre films we can enter. ”

On June 4, at the 9th China Online Audiovisual Conference "Summit Forum on Improving the Quality and Upgrading of Online Film Creation" held in Chengdu, Tang Jili, chairman, director and screenwriter of China Film (Shanghai) International Culture Media Co., Ltd. (China Film International), threw out the above views on the online film industry.

The "2021 China Online Audiovisual Development Research Report" shows that the number of new online movies in 2020 is stable and the market potential is huge. The online movies launched in 2020 are consistent with 2019, with 784, and the creation of realistic themes is obviously active. In February this year, the first "Spring Festival file" was launched for online movies, and various themes such as women, war, and folklore began to emerge, and new tracks have emerged.

"Now the online platform movie is 90 minutes, in fact, it is to give many young producers and actors a platform to enter the big movie, and give them training and exercise." They will become mature in the process of continuous creation, and if there are some projects where his script is well written and acted well, maybe we will have a bigger investment in the next step. "Tang Jili is optimistic about the development of the industry in the future.

Through the analysis of the top 100 films at the global box office, the audience's preference for the genre of movies is relatively clear. In addition, he believes that online movies will be more convenient to spread overseas than cinema movies.

"The future of online movies is very important, in addition to our domestic sales, overseas is actually a big platform, China's online movies going out is actually a very important direction in the future." You see, the highest box office of the world's top 100 movies is actually action science fiction films, accounting for 81%, anime accounts for 18%, maybe 18% of animation 70% of them have action, so action science fiction and animation, which are relatively easy to spread around the world, I believe that in the future in China's online movies may also be strengthened (in this regard). Tang Jili said.

Tang Jili found that as the ceiling of the box office is getting higher and higher, the investment in the film will also be higher and higher, which will drive the works to the boutique, in such a process, if our projects can also be sold on overseas online platforms, the future prospects are still full of hope. "Every year there are already so many new generations of online movies, the new generation of young people is the biggest force in our creation, I think there is such a good platform, there are such a good investment institutions to give them the opportunity together, then I think the progress will be very fast."

In addition to being the chairman of China Film International, Tang Jili is also a director and screenwriter. From the perspective of the creator, Tang Jili hopes to get enough creative time.

"I hope that our producers can set up some projects with the platform earlier, so that the creation time is also very long for me." Because production is easy, I think the hard part is in creating — how do you write a good script, a good character. When these are available, we go to act, do filming, post-production, these industrial processes are actually very mature now. One of our biggest parts is creation. ”

Tang Jili hopes that in the future, online movies can have enough time to create, which is the core of the promotion project. Because the publicity, post-production, publicity, including the data of the project, these platforms have a good support. For the producers, it is hoped that they can enter the cooperative process very early and give more time to do the script.
