Chapter 1151 Awe

“Filmmakers should stay energetic, not forgetting their original aspirations and keeping their mission in mind. Only by having a macro understanding of Chinese films can we realize our mission.

The professionalism of filmmakers should be improved. For example, there are many directors who do not tell actors what to do and leave this job to other staff such as assistant directors. I personally do not agree with this way of working.

The director should communicate directly with the actors to achieve overall control of the film..."

Jia Zhangke spoke first!

He is now also considered a beneficiary within the system - National People's Congress representative Jia Dadao, who owns ten companies and one film festival!

Young people who once suffered from the system have gradually become defenders of power.

What he said was very high-sounding...

In fact, Lao Jia's work, "Xiao Wu" is amazing, but after "Three Gorges Good Man", Shen Xudong didn't like it anymore...

As he grows older and more experienced, Shen Xudong is no longer so hostile to Lao Jia.

Douban has this saying about Jia Zhangke: "What Westerners love is not the movie itself, but the twisted China that Jia Zhangke brings to them, and the sense of compassion and compassion that it triggers."

In fact, from a creative point of view, Director Jia's films certainly have a deliberately unnatural image creation. Some viewers may see in this image the so-called smearing of China or the promotion of poverty...

In fact, the three major European film award-winning films all contain poverty narratives to a greater or lesser extent!

The so-called poverty narrative is actually a poverty drama.

Poverty drama puts people on trial in desperate situations, showing the absurdity, profundity, rebellion, paradox, complexity and change of human nature, etc., thereby conveying profound philosophical thoughts and is deeply loved by old academics...

The plots are all regular: deep-seated sadness, life is like a torrent rolling forward, and the little people are being dragged forward, struggling to maintain the last bit of dignity, but the harder they struggle, the more embarrassed they are, and they are completely defeated in the end, without any trace of dignity or calmness. .

Specific to Jia Zhangke, he has experienced the transformation from a planned economy to a market economy, so he is naturally full of doubts about the system!

That's his style...

In fact, Jia Zhangke's films are very personal. He does not belong to the public and is only suitable for appreciation and criticism in a small group circle.

Oh, no, later a movie "Swim Until the Sea Turns Blue" was released, which Shen Xudong really liked.

That's a documentary...

However, I like "Swim Until the Sea Turns Blue" because of Yu Hua's words: "When I was young, the sea looked yellow, but the textbook said the sea was blue. We often swam here when we were children. One day I just want to keep swimming, I want to keep swimming until the water turns blue...'

This passage is very romantic...

It's a pity that this is a documentary, and the romantic one is also Yu Hua!

It has nothing to do with Jia Zhangke!

Bringing it back, Shen Xudong answered: "It's not that many cross-border directors don't want to communicate with actors, but they don't know how to communicate... I heard a joke, I don't know if it's true, that there is an outsider who wants to be a director. , find a bunch of assistant directors, you don’t need to shout Action when you start the machine, just Cut... If you don’t know about service, beauty, Taoism, culture, photography, production, and recording, it doesn’t matter, just spend money to hire the best... That person also said In one sentence, I think it makes sense.”

As expected, Jia Zhangke continued: "What are you talking about?"

"Everything has to do with relationships and money, and the same goes for making movies... In fact, not many people in China really like filming, but they like to use the name of filming to do whatever they want!"

"you too?"

"I'm different. I have money. If I want to do anything, I don't need to borrow movies!"

"Okay, we welcome director Shen Xudong to speak..."

…

Shen Xudong is wearing a formal suit and glasses, very formal.

The opening was a critical blow: "I found that many of our practitioners have no awe, no sense of crisis, and no ability and motivation to learn...

These people probably think that no matter how poorly I perform, I will be able to seamlessly join the group and win awards no matter how much I rely on capital. The acting skills are all the same, all ten characters look the same, they memorize their lines on the spot, and they only read their own part of the script. It is unclear whether they have studied and understood the script. "

"A senior student told me that in our society, the most shameless and bottomless people live very well in this industry... I was very sad to hear what he said, but what made me even more uncomfortable was... what he said That’s right!”

"Many of the so-called traffic dramas nowadays are impossible to watch. The lines are unclear and the enunciation is unclear;

Physical form: Cuteness with raised corners of the mouth, human-like manner of standing up cards...

The characters created will only make people laugh out loud, and they will find themselves in a dilemma. "

"Actors should have a reverence for acting and have a correct view of the profession, that is, the play is bigger than the sky. Only by studying the role deeply and polishing one's own acting skills can one be qualified to step into the threshold of an actor.

Actors must have a sense of crisis, and they should not neglect to be prepared for danger in times of peace just because of their temporary popularity... In this industry, no one is irreplaceable, especially those who have nothing to lose! "

"I hope you understand that the world does not revolve around you. Our entire society is running very well. Never use your own corrupt lifestyle to speculate on the entire social environment..."

"If you ask anyone, they will all say that there are not many good traffic stars. They are not engaged in production, undermine social ethics, and waste media resources..."

"If it continues to develop, it will become a public enemy of society. Everyone will get rid of it as soon as possible!"

"I'm not being alarmist. From last summer to this summer, in just one year, traffic movies and TV series have become synonymous with bad movies... Of course, traffic people still have no shortage of projects, because film and television dramas are the best money laundering tools. The cost is not transparent, the actor’s price is falsely reported, and the money is laundered as soon as it is changed hands... I only heard that this involves the law, and there is no evidence, so I won’t say anything..."

"Back to film and television, what responsibilities should film and television dramas bear?"

“Some time ago, I reviewed my speech at the Yan’an Forum on Literature and Art and came to the conclusion that compared with social benefits, economic benefits are secondary. When the two benefits and two values ​​conflict, the economic benefits must be subordinated to the social benefits. , market value must obey social value!”

"Last year, I went to Japan to visit Japan and met Yoji Asami, a literature professor at Osaka University. He was a fan of Mr. Dongpo. He told me that Su Dongpo's "Red Cliff Ode" was very famous in Japan. Until now, Japan Benz also mentioned this masterpiece in the textbook... He told me many interesting things about Mr. Dongpo...

I am very ashamed. Although he is my ancestor, others know him better than me!

After returning to China, I told Director Yi about this matter, and he also felt very ashamed. Then we decided to start a special series on historical figures. The first one will be "Su Dongpo", which will be released in the summer next year, and "Thirty Thousand Miles from Chang'an" will be released later. :Li Bai》…”
