Chapter 1072 Speech (34)

“I feel like Lao Zhang has new vitality!”

"He likes new things and new stories... When he joined your company, I heard that you provided him with more than a dozen scripts at one time for him to choose from..."

Shen Xudong nodded and then explained: "We thought that he would prepare projects at the same time, but we really didn't expect that he would push forward at the same time...without taking a break!"

"Not only does he not take any rest, he often multi-tasks..."

Director Chen interjected: ""Parasite" is really lucky..."

"What's wrong?"

"If it had been a little longer, I probably wouldn't have let you show it!"

"...What I criticize is the gap between rich and poor in capitalist society..."

"It's not good for the country's image..."

Shen Xudong still wanted to make a few quibbles, but suddenly shut up. He remembered that even if "Parasite" won an Oscar, this movie still could not be seen on the planes of Korean Air, Asiana Airlines and other Korean airlines...

There are indeed R-rated scenes.

There is a cyan scene in it!

Very necessary!

In the traditional culture with relatively conservative Confucianism, most family members, especially elders and younger generations of the opposite sex, are shy about talking about sex, even in sex education.

In this context, the father and his family had to hide under the table and listen to what others said, and they were very close to their daughter. This kind of psychological torture was very severe.

The sexual love between the two people on the sofa turned into their rape of the dignity of the family under the table.

This was also the most direct reason for my father’s violent murder later...

However, "Parasite" is indeed a bit unrealistic...

Many critical people said, 'This movie is just to satisfy the middle class's fantasy of the upper and lower classes! ’

Shen Xudong shook his head: "This is a fable. From the perspective of the movie itself, the camera position is stable throughout, the lighting and photography are very dazzling, the performance is stage-like, and the soundtrack is baroque string music. It almost completes the "audiovisual" aspect of the movie itself and successfully balances art. "

Li Xuejian also nodded: "This movie is really great... I feel like Zhang Yimou gave it all he had!"

"That's not the case. In fact, I prefer "Burning" and "Year, Month, Day"..."

""combustion"?"

"Based on Haruki Murakami's "Burning the Barn" and William Faulkner's "Burning the Barn"... During a delivery process, the young deliveryman Zhong Xiu was attracted by Xiaotong who was doing promotional activities on the sidewalk. Attracted by his charisma, the young girl had previously lived in the same neighborhood as him, and before traveling to Africa, she asked Jong-su to take care of her cat. After returning from the trip, Hye-mi introduced him to Ben, a man she was traveling with. The mysterious man I met…”

Shen Xudong briefly talked about the plot of "Burning" and then said: "This story is more realistic and focuses on class..."

Director Chen looked at Shen Xudong with a complex expression: "How did you come up with such a script?"

"Read more books..."

"So, you are awesome..."

"No, I just have more on my mind."

"I heard that you originally wanted to direct the script of "Burning"?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes..."

"Why did you give it to Zhang Yimou?"

"Does he like it...and he has the ability to do better...and I am not very partial to this type of movie..."

The three of them chatted for a while and then went back to rest.

Before leaving, Director Chen specifically warned, ‘You must think carefully about your speech tomorrow! ’

…

Yes, Shen Xudong wants to speak...

He didn't show any politeness. He stood up and apologized first: "What I want to say is a bit sharp. Please don't take it personally. I should treat it as an emotional output."

"You tell me, I'll tell you the truth!"

After receiving the approval, Shen Xudong smiled: "Actually, this symposium is a continuation of the Yan'an Literature and Art Speech.

Many people don’t quite understand why the Yan’an Speech happened. I checked the information and found out that the background of the Yan’an Literature and Art Speech was the Lu Xun Art Institute at that time. People lived around it, but they often performed in the auditorium behind closed doors. , observation skills. The common people criticized them as "closing the door to improve performance." Even when they went to the countryside to perform, they performed foreign programs. The common people complained that they could not understand or understand, and they were very dissatisfied.

This matter attracted the teacher's attention..."

"I am also a writer. Although I have never joined the Writers' Association, I have a little knowledge of literature. What is literature and art?

According to the words of some of our writers, ‘I have a prejudice that literary works should not whitewash reality, literature and art should expose darkness! ’

Is this right?

On this issue, the teachers at the Yan'an Forum on Literature and Art have long said, "Should we praise or expose?" This is a matter of attitude. What kind of attitude do we need? I say you need both. The question is who you are targeting. ’

'Praising does not mean whitewashing. Praising must be based on facts. Whitewashing is pure fabrication. Similarly, criticism does not mean smearing. ’

You see, what was said eighty years ago is still shocking now...

What is inside must be what is outside. Honesty in the inside, form in the outside.

Literary works can certainly expose darkness, but the key is where is the starting point?

Is it to make people think, educate the public, encourage people to make progress, and make the world a better place? Or is it for various personal gains, or is it just to vent dissatisfaction and attack reality?

Different starting points will create different literary and artistic works.

From some works, everyone will feel the author's deep love for this land.

Other works are full of their own resentment, irony and cold-eyed observation of society.

Many so-called "criticisms" are more of a kind of criticism from the author's superior position, with a sense of detachment that everyone is drunk and I am the only one awake, and the lower-class people are often called pigs and dogs.

The author seems to want to show his detachment and his regret for the lower-class people, but in my opinion, it is purely self-intoxication.

At this stage, Chinese literature is something that is "monopolized" by a group of people from a high position. What emperors, generals, talented men and beautiful women, what is high-brow and low-brow, what is good and what is bad are all decided by a small number of people.

What can become literature and art, no matter how to express one's own feelings directly, loses the emotional resonance with the broadest masses of the people, may be sought after for a while, but has no core value worthy of being passed down through the ages.

Objectively speaking, literature that does not go through the repeated chewing of the masses and the process of "a thousand people have a thousand Hamlets" can only be a phenomenon at most, and cannot become art.

So, I won’t write anymore. If I write a best-selling novel, it will have no literary value in the eyes of many experts…”

“It’s the same with movies. The threshold seems to be very high. If they say it’s good, it’s good. If they say it’s not good, then it’s not worth anything.

So, many people say that the movie circle (juan)… You have to enter the juan first before you have the right to be evaluated and evaluate others! The major awards have become a way for the industry’s bigwigs to pull the mountain in the field…

For example, last year’s "Underground Fire", to be frank, when it comes to the great significance of China’s film industrialization and future development, all the other movies nominated and awarded this year, added together, may not be as good as "Underground Fire", but "Underground Fire" did not win any award, and was not even nominated…”

“The biggest problem in the domestic film and television industry is that it has long been controlled by a group of old-fashioned people and industry vested interests. They have been holding on to their old aesthetic habits for more than ten years and have been promoting works recognized by a small circle, turning a deaf ear to industrialization, future trends and public reputation. "

"To be honest, the Oscars in the United States also have the problem of old people being in power and not being very interested in new things, but at least they know to set up awards for industrialization, right? Our practitioners here talk about industrialization all the time, but how come there is not even an award dedicated to industrialization? Is this justified?"
