Gianzhuangzhuang crossed his long and thin legs, took out another cigarette, refilled it with the burned cigarette butt in his mouth, and then casually crushed the burned cigarette butt on the sole of his cloth shoe.

Holding a cigarette, he gathered up his messy hair and flicked off the dandruff from his nails. Looking at Wu Xiaozu, who was discussing film development with Li Shaohong, Huang Jianxin, and Chen Kaige, he suddenly said: "Director Wu, have you seen my movie? ?Do you think it’s a movie?”

Brother Chen Kai frowned, and Li Shaohong next to him gave him a hand. Huang Jianxin smiled, shook his head, took the initiative to replace the juice, and helped Wu Xiaozu fill the water.

The bullish temper broke out again.

If we have to say which director of the 78 level is the leader, it is not Chen Kai who is so talented that you can see the personality and pretentiousness pouring out, nor is it Zhang Yimou who is silently hardworking but very stubborn. Of course, it is not him who is smooth, smart and humane. Huang Jianxin.

As for Gu Changwei, he hasn't really worked hard yet. Li Shaohong is just everyone's little sister, not to mention Huo Jianqi and others...

The real ‘leading brother’ is Tianzhuangzhuang, the 78-year-old class monitor! Followed by Brother Chen Kai and Zhang Junzhao.

Of course, this is not about the actual kind of leader, but about personality charm, prestige, and conduct as a person.

Gian Zhuangzhuang's gaze was very light, but he stared at it very seriously.

Wu Xiaozu took a sip of tea and put down the cup.

"I have watched the movie "The Horse Thief". I had the opportunity to watch it two years ago by chance. I can feel that you are working to reduce the interaction and language of the characters, and then express the atmosphere of the film. In certain light, shadow and movement It has the influence of Antonioni and Truffaut. It can also be regarded as a long shot that implements Bazin’s documentary aesthetics.”

Naturally, Wu Xiaozu didn’t have the chance to watch this play in this life, but he did watch the film directed by Zhuang Zhuang in his previous life. His works were highly praised by art schools and circles, and no one even banned several of them...

"I like Truffaut's "The 400 Blows" very much." Gian Zhuangzhuang nodded slightly.

"However, objectively speaking, apart from a few thoughts on these two aspects, I am very surprised in terms of sound processing. There is no distinction at all between characters speaking in close proximity, voice-over, and distant sounds. There is no sense of space or layering in the sound. , this very frivolous way makes the whole movie unable to be full. The most important thing... Tibetan religious ceremonies are conducted in Mandarin..." Wu Xiaozu said bluntly.

The most important thing is to divide people.

Tian Zhuangzhuang is different from Brother Chen Kai. It doesn’t matter if you say this. If you criticize Director Kai like this, you will definitely just throw up your sleeves and leave... ╮(╯▽╰)╭!

"As for your discussion on whether your movie counts as a movie, of course! Although there are large-scale documentary shots, which makes the story much weaker, the dramatic core and tension of this drama are there." Wu Xiaozu smiled and praised. One sentence.

He also roughly understood why Gianzhuangzhuang asked this question.

In fact, it's not just making things difficult or anything like that, it's actually a sign of the other party's confusion.

After the filming of "Horse Thief" and "Mass in the Hunting Ground" were completed, Grange Village faced huge pressure. The audience did not buy it, and critics continued to question it. Unlike Zhang Yimou's formal doubts, these two films directly questioned his film. exist……

Some people even said that he was wasting state-owned assets and that as the times evolved, he became confused, which is why he published in the Peking Youth Daily, "I will never make another movie like "The Horse Thief"."

The career phase of "shooting for anyone who pays me" began.

In fact, the fifth generation directors were early influenced by the Soviet montage avant-garde film theory school, Bazin's documentary aesthetics, the French New Wave and the modernist film aesthetics they faced. As the times develop, they will also be affected by the Hollywood film style. The audio-visual language of Hollywood can be clearly captured in their films.

Why Zhang Yimou was criticized is because of this.

It can only be said that because of his status, Wu Xiaozu did not receive direct criticism, but received more praise!

At this time, Song Ke and Lao Lang, who had been standing at the door for a long time, were both dumbfounded. On the contrary, Xiao Da Jin had only half-understanding and became quite interested in the movie.

"The audio-visual language of movies is very important. With the foundation laid by the masters, we cannot rest on our laurels. However, the movie itself does not only have audio-visual language or structure. An excellent movie may have different meanings in the eyes of different people." Amret'.

On Hong Kong Island, I have always encouraged young people to be brave in innovation, and I am willing to give them opportunities. It is difficult for new directors to get into directing, and opportunities are also very rare. I have heard Director Li Hanxiang talk about the difficulties they had back then.

It's not a bad thing to have the courage to try.

However, I have always been convinced of one thing. For a director, the first three works are very important to him, not only to constantly improve the unformed style in his mind, but also to make people realize his value. No matter what, we cannot ignore it. Disregarding the market’s feedback to us, let’s put it in a very vulgar way: How can we make movies without money, and how can we realize our art without money?

A creator must first understand what he wants to do. Everyone wants to make art, and I also want to close my eyes and make a literary film! But I want to eat! Right?

So now I am making a film that is geared toward the commercial market, an experimental and avant-garde work.

You can call me vulgar and say I bow to the market, but I have always believed that what the common people like to see and see is not inconsistent with what we have in our hearts. A director can not only shoot works that serve the public, but also shoot works that reflect humanistic care. This is an excellent work.

That's why I sit here and discuss it with you.

I like "Yellow Earth" very much, and I also like "Black Cannon Incident". This drama is basically a black humor based on Western aesthetics and movie theory! I also like "Silver Snake Murder" directed by Shao Hong, it is visually stunning , heavy-tongued and even sexy? In fact, I clearly saw the rise of a cult female director in the Chinese film industry! There is no female director in the world who can shoot such a movie..."

Wu Xiaozu's eloquent nonsense made Huang Jianxin and Li Shaohong feel ashamed, but also a little eager to try it.

Seeing this scene, Wu Xiaozu's eyelids twitched.

I wouldn’t ask the two fifth-generation directors who are best at shooting stories to make black humor and cult films, right??

There is no melon in the rain nest!

But thinking about it, it seems feasible...

"If you are willing, I can also provide you with funds and opportunities on Hong Kong Island." As soon as Wu Xiaozu said the last words, the eyes of all the losers in the audience were gleaming with gold.

Brother Chen Kai picked up the tea bowl and took a slow sip. It was so refreshing!

He is indeed the man he likes!

Raise your chin slightly, your nostrils are so clear.

"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!"

Tianzhuangzhuang nodded and smiled, "Director Wu, I am really grateful to you for being a pioneer and guide on the road to Chinese-language films! I want to communicate with you on behalf of Beijing Film Studio about the Chinese-language film support plan you mentioned before...

…”

"No... no problem!" Wu Xiaozu and Yue Zhiyuan waved his hands, "I am just doing some small things within my ability for the development of Chinese-language films."

As he spoke, he revealed a little casually: "In addition to helping newcomers in Hong Kong, I have also been in contact with Yang Dejian and director Hou Xiaolan of Wanwan, but... don't use the term "guide", let's make progress together.

...make progress together..."

Akimbo!

"The progress of Chinese-language films is the common wish of all of us. Therefore, I hope that you new directors... let's call you the fifth generation of directors! You can truly let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend! If you need my help, just ask." Wu Xiaozu

Seriously.

"Looking back, I have two projects here. If director Jian Xin or director Shao Hong are interested, I can finance it. Whether it's a co-production or a full-scale filming on Hong Kong Island... it's all fine."

If Li Shaohong really went to Hong Kong Island to film, I guess the "Cucumber Film" version of "A Dream of Red Mansions" wouldn't appear, right?

Besides...these real academics are better than those Hong Kong filmmakers who come from wild backgrounds but rest on their laurels, right??

In later generations, when Hong Kong films are in decline and they know how to go north, who's to say they can't be allowed to come and film at this time?

As for the unit issue... I guess if I really pursue the banner of "revival of Chinese-language films" and "national culture", it shouldn't be difficult to get approval from the superiors. At worst, I can also choose "co-production"!

Due to political considerations, maybe the higher-ups prefer them to go to Hong Kong Island to film... It's only been 9 years since 1997!

This time was also the beginning of the real thaw in cross-Strait relations, and the timing was very suitable.

As for whether it will be acclimatized...it will definitely happen, but Huang Jianxin and Li Shaohong are the directors who are more capable of shooting commercial scenes.

The former is humane and tactful enough, otherwise he wouldn't be able to film comedies like "Stand Up Straight, Don't Lie Down" and dramas like "Back to Back Face to Face"! The latter is simply the movie version of "Hou Hei Xue" and "Hou Hei Xue"

"The Appearance of Officialdom".

In fact, in previous lives, at this point in time, the funding sources of some mainland directors were also supported by external capital.

Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine", Jiang Wen's "Sunny Days", and even Grange's most classic "Blue Kite", the latter is a pity... It should be regarded as a depressive version of "Forrest Gump" or a more profound and real one

"Youth"...

It is said to be a depressive version of "Forrest Gump" mainly because it has a similar structure and shape to Forrest Gump, which is based on a series of historical events. It is only different from the positive and upbeat version of "Forrest Gump".

Tianzhuangzhuang was also banned for nearly ten years because of "Blue Kite", and then...it was banned again for "Wu Qingyuan"...

This is also one of the main reasons why his reputation at home and abroad is not as famous as the other two of the 78-level Three Heroes - Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.

Of course, it is true that the quality is very high...

"The fifth generation~"

Several people chewed it for a while, and all readily accepted the term.

"Director Wu, is it inconvenient for me to go to the northwest to find a living? Don't worry, I don't need any wages, just take care of food, food and housing." Tianzhuangzhuang asked with a smile.

"Of course, no problem!" Wu Xiaozu said.

"Shall we go take a look too?" Huang Jianxin looked at Li Shaohong, who hesitated for a moment and nodded.

When Li Hanxiang came to Peiping for filming, the teacher took them all to observe and they benefited a lot.

How could they not be moved by Wu Xiaozu, who was rated as "the most talented film director in Chinese films" abroad?

Zhang Yimou's award-winning "Red Sorghum" was very good, but they thought... maybe they could do it too.

But Wu Xiaozu’s stuff is different!

His film language and structure, as well as the involvement of light, shadow and lens, are astonishing to foreigners!

I have to say that Director Wu is very intimidating wearing a technical director's vest.

"Can we go there?" Xiao Daqing suddenly said.

"??" Tianzhuangzhuang, Brother Chen Kai, Huang Jianxin and Li Shaohong turned their heads.

"Our senior brother Song Ke is a very good musician nowadays, we can also help..." Xiao Da said with a tight face and a calm heart.

(òωó?)!???

Song Ke looked at Gao Dajin who was betraying him, with a face full of astonishment: Didn't you just say that you were blackmailing Wu Xiaozu during the discussion?

How come you surrendered to the enemy so quickly??
