[Watching Entertainment during the Two Sessions] Feng Xiaogang: Opening a film and television technical school to improve the quality of the film and television production team

Feng Xiaogang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said,"China's film industry system is very weak, and there is still a big gap between the industrial level and Hollywood. It is not only reflected in technical means, but more importantly, the gap in the professional quality of employees." He revealed that he, Commissioner Zhang Guoli, Commissioner Jackie Chan and others are planning to set up a film and television technical school. On the one hand, it will train basic staff in the film industry, and on the other hand, it will also give young people an opportunity to learn skills.

"In 2015, the annual box office of China films reached 44 billion yuan. In 2017, it is likely to surpass the box office of American films. The development situation of films is very good." As soon as Feng Xiaogang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, started talking about movies, he immediately attracted the attention of other members and a large number of reporters. "However," he changed the topic,"China's film industry system is very weak, and there is still a big gap between the industrial level and Hollywood. It is not only reflected in technical means, but more importantly, the gap in the professional quality of the employees."

,"The most basic work department of a film crew is makeup, clothing, props, lighting, etc. Now many film crew use migrant workers without any professional skills in film and television in these departments, and they all use introduction channels from acquaintances." This phenomenon mentioned by Member Feng Xiaogang comes from his own experience. "When I filmed" 1942 ", the vast majority of the 800 people in the film crew had no professional training and lacked the common sense and skills of film. They had to rely on the film crew to eradicate illiteracy, which greatly affected the development of the film industry."

This situation has aroused the thinking and practice of members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in the film industry. Member Feng Xiaogang revealed that he, Member Zhang Guoli, Member Jackie Chan and others are planning to set up a film and television technical school to train basic staff in the film industry on the one hand, and also give Young people an opportunity to learn a skill. "We want to use our influence to fill the gap for the Film Academy. If we can send 10,000 people every year and continue to do it, I believe that the quality of our film and television production team will gradually improve."

Feng Xiaogang said that he has done market research and there is a huge gap for film and television professionals.

At present, my country has many colleges and universities that cultivate film talents, such as the Central Academy of Drama, Beijing Film Academy, and Shanghai Theater Academy, but the majors are concentrated in directing, screenwriting, acting, photography, recording, etc., and basic work categories are not covered. At present, it is precisely these basic departments have huge needs. Commissioner Feng Xiaogang gave everyone a calculation: Seventy-eight hundred films are filmed every year in our country, and the annual production of TV dramas is in the tens of thousands. If each film crew needs 100 people, it will be the demand of hundreds of thousands of people, and the supply to meet the demand is almost blank.

But what does film and television technical school teach it? Commissioner Feng Xiaogang's idea is that the training time does not need to be long. Each group of students will spend one to two years learning basic film appreciation and professional skills such as clothing, props, and lighting. And if you find talented seedlings in a technical school, you can recommend them to the film academy. "I believe this work will provide some of the most practical help to film and television production. It is now time for us to serve society and help young people."

He said that even if only 10,000 trained basic film and television staff are exported from schools every year, it can help improve the overall quality of the film team for more than ten consecutive years. "We will refer to the model of 'Lanxiang Technical School'. The time will not be long. In a maximum of two years, we will teach them basic film and television knowledge, and then output it to the film crew." Therefore, they will invest heavily and hire a large number of teachers from Hollywood.

As soon as Commissioner Feng Xiaogang finished speaking, members of the 26 Literature and Art Group nodded and praised,"This is the responsibility of a literary and artistic artist. It is very practical." Member Feng Yuan praised.
