Chapter 67 "Little Times" (1)

The word director is very high-end.

According to the explanation of "Cihai": the film director refers to the organizer and leader of film art creation, the general person in charge of bringing film literary scripts to the screen, and the person who uses actors to express their thoughts.

Generally speaking, after being from an orthodox professional director department, you will be assigned to Beijing Film Studios, Xi'an Film Studios and other places, you will first have to do a live record with the team for five or six years, and then you will have five or six years of assistant director until you are almost thirty years old, and you should have the opportunity to direct for the first time.

The threshold is very high!

What we are talking about here is the situation of package distribution in the last century.

Therefore, Zhang Yimou and his group were able to make "One and Eight" in their twenties, and Guo Baochang and Wei Bida made an indelible role in the men's men!

Kai Ye is an exception. The resources that the second generation can occupy more than many people imagine...

By the late 1990s, movies became less and less audiences. Under the conditions of the market economy, many old film studios were reorganized and laid off. At this time, whoever has the money could be regarded as a director!

In "I Dedicate Your Youth to You", Feng Xiaogang wrote, "Wang Shuo and I went to Beijing Film Studio to find Han Shanping with the script of "A Cock-up Feathers". The latter was very happy, "Can you shoot it, do you have money?"...'

Of course, "A Round of Feathers" was banned, and the subsequent "Back of the Moon", "Lost My Love forever", "I Am Your Dad", and "Love Sorrow" were all banned...

What's even worse is "Living a Miserable Life". The movie was filmed for ten days and was directly stopped by Shangfeng...

Therefore, it makes sense that the Wang brothers can accomplish things!

In that case, I dare to support Feng Xiaogang in filming!

So Feng Xiaogang said this in a speech: "Being a director, sitting in front of the computer... You know that this is good, but you still have to change it to the point of not being able to do it. This feeling is very frustrating! Are Hollywood directors tortured by this?"

When the project "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" was announced, many movie fans said they were puzzled, "Feng Xiaogang, are you going further and further in the direction of committing suicide? Isn't it good to shoot a New Year's film well?", but senior movie fans know that they are the directors of this path. "A messy feather" and "Living a Miserable Life" are all satirical comedy.

"Youth" was almost banned because there was a scene of a counterattack against Vietnam...

But even if you can make movies with money, not many people are willing to do such things.

At that time, the Chinese film market was too small, even worse than that in Hong Kong.

Making a movie is equivalent to losing money...

Then I wonder how Ning Hao and Yang Qing made their debut?

Before filming the first feature film "Incense", Ning Hao was a relatively active MV director in the circle, and he had some spare money...

As for Yang Qing, it's almost the same.

Of course, these people enthusiastically devoted themselves to the original intention of film creation to love movies!

Otherwise, in such an era, what's wrong?

Many people have dreams of film, and of course there are also film critics among them. For example, Zhang Xiaobei, who himself said: "It is not that simple to really want to be a director. First of all, they are not from a professional background, have not received systematic film education, and lack sufficient training opportunities. Although they have watched many movies, their appreciation ability and level actually have nothing to do with making movies.

I spent many years to make up for relevant knowledge through self-study and exploring practice, but I still had many blind spots in knowledge and flaws in knowledge structure. As I got older, I also knew that I lacked real talent.

But I really like movies. Although I know that it is difficult for me to reach the level I can appreciate, I don’t want to give up.

Moreover, making movies does not mean that you will be able to make movies by working hard, but it still requires a little luck.'

When celebrities cross-border directors, the one who starts with Mr. Guo Si...

I mean the original time and space, not the timeline in the book...

...

The project "Tiny Times" is very successful from a commercial perspective!

When Leshi decided to invest in "Tiny Times", she was ready to be sprayed as shit!

Otherwise, he would not have used Guo Jing as a director.

What is the influence of the original work of "Tiny Times"? I won't describe this for the time being, so let's express it: "Tiny Times" is of epoch-making significance! Before the "Tiny Times" trilogy, there was no influential literary work that positively and clearly portrayed the world of the rich newcomers who became rich after China's reform and opening up. The traditional Chinese idea of ​​eliminating human desires and preserving the laws of nature and grafting the socialist Puritan paradigm. For a long time, extravagance and pleasure have always had strong moral stains.

Especially in the thirty years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, no one dared to say that he was a rich man! "Tiny Times" emerged on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of reform and opening up! This series of books and derivative works have been criticized and denounced as shallow, vanity, and money-worship, but it did tear apart a corner of the lives of Chinese upstarts... A summary of one sentence: No matter how literary value of "Tiny Times" is, just by opening the horizons of poor, closed, and remote teenagers, it has already had immeasurable merits.'

Uh, great writer!

No joke, in the eyes of fans, he is a great man!

Now this great man suddenly announced that he would shoot his own movie!

His fans couldn't even clamp their legs tightly...

It's similar to when Xu Hui announced that he would film "The Embroidered Spring Sword". Except for his own fans, the others were indifferent to each other...

However, when Xu Hui was still in SJ, he publicly said that his dream was to be a director, so although the news was abrupt, he was mentally prepared.

In fact, when the industry learned that Guo Jing became a director, it did not react much. Every year, countless people want strong women to make Chinese movies. It doesn’t matter if there is one more Guo Jing!

How can we say that the identity of the director is more like a commander and a supervisor. As we all know, managers of large companies can be very professional or unprofessional, they can be very awesome or unawesome, and the same goes for directors. Under what circumstances can they be unprofessional? That is, when there are sufficient staff and they are all very professional.

In a professional large crew, relatively speaking, directors are a position that is easy to live...

To put it bluntly, if the story is well written, there will be awesome photographers, awesome editors, and seventeen or eighteen deputy directors. A fool can also make a good work!

As for why you are a director rather than a screenwriter?

Sorry, the screenwriter's power is too small. Even if he is as awesome as a reed, his script will change it as soon as possible!

Therefore, if you have the opportunity to be a director, don’t be a screenwriter!

Let me tell you a joke about the screenwriter:

"Five years ago, the movie "I Am Awesome" started filming in Damenxi Hotel in Hengdian. My brothers and I were full of confidence and planned to create a Chinese version of the "Godfather" trilogy.

Who knew that there were only two days after the start of the filming, and the average manuscript was revised 11.6 times a day. In one week, 123 places were modified, which made it impossible for the original author to spoil it.

It was raining all night long, and the makeup artist and the editor of the team couldn't stand the way the aunts in the crew talked to them like quarrels, and the thirsty and rough man in the crew wanted to get close to his sisters from time to time. Suddenly one day, he left without saying goodbye.

Fortunately, the Buddha blessed me and the filming was over. It is still unknown whether there is a chance to be released. Perhaps the good thing is that it will be more fragrant as it brews.

The fortune teller said that I was successful in one draft, but I don’t believe it. I think it’s up to you to decide whether to change it or not. You have the shortest time to come into contact with film and television, the most innocent, the most simple, and the cleanest foundation, and not even have time to write a bad movie.

You can choose the way you walk by yourself. I wish you all to sweep the audience at the award ceremony of major movies.

Cheers! Dear teachers!"
