My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 579 Cult Movie Black Humor & Hoe-Walking

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
Tian Zhuangzhuang cocked his slender legs, took out a cigarette again, refilled it with the burnt butt of his mouth, and then casually crushed the exhausted cigarette butt on the sole of his cloth shoe.

With a cigarette in his hand, he brushed his messy hair and flicked off the dandruff from his nails. Looking at Wu Xiaozu, who was discussing the development of movies 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, Li Shaohong next to him gave him a hand, Huang Jianxin smiled at the corner of his mouth, shook his head, took the initiative to replace the juice, and helped Wu Xiaozu refill the water.

Bull temper again.

If you have to say which director in the 78th class is the leader, it is not the talented and hypocritical Chen Kai who is so talented that you can see it with the naked eye, nor is it Zhang Yimou who works quietly but is very stubborn. Huang Jianxin.

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

The real 'big brother in the lead' is Tian Zhuangzhuang, the 78th grade old squad leader!Then came Chen Kaige and Zhang Junzhao.

Of course, this is not the real kind of leader, but the charisma, prestige, and personality.

Tian Zhuangzhuang's eyes were very calm, but he stared 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 by chance two years ago. I can feel that you are working hard to reduce the interaction and language of the characters, and then express the atmosphere of the film. With certain lighting and movement In the film, there are shadows of Antonioni and Truffaut. It can also be regarded as a long shot that practices Bazin’s documentary aesthetics.”

In this life, Wu Xiaozu naturally didn't have the opportunity to watch this movie, but he did watch the movie directed by Zhuang Zhuang in his previous life. His works were highly praised in art schools and circles, and no one even banned several movies...

"I like Truffaut's "The Four Hundred Blows" very much." Grange nodded slightly.

"However, objectively speaking, except for a little bit of thought in these two aspects, I am surprised by the sound processing. There is no distinction between the characters talking nearby, the voice-over, and the sound in the distance. There is no sense of space or layering in the sound. , This is a very frizzy way, which makes the whole movie unable to be full. The most important thing... Tibetans' religious ceremonies are spoken in Mandarin..." Wu Xiaozu said bluntly.

The most important thing is to divide people.

Tian Zhuangzhuang is different from Brother Chen Kai.It's okay to say that.If you criticize Director Kai in this way, you will definitely just throw up your sleeves and leave... ╮(╯▽╰)╭!
"As for whether your movie is considered a movie, of course! Although there are large-scale documentary shots, the story is much weaker, but the core and tension of this movie are still there." Wu Xiaozu smiled and praised One sentence.

He also roughly understood why Tian Zhuangzhuang asked this question.

In fact, it is not simply making things difficult or something, in fact, this in itself is an expression of the other party's confusion.

After the filming of "The Horse Thief" and "The Hunting Ground Mass" was completed, Tian Zhuangzhuang faced tremendous pressure. The audience did not buy it, and the critics continued to question him. Unlike Zhang Yimou's formal doubts, these two films directly questioned his films. exist……

Some people even said that he wasted state-owned assets, and with the development of the times, he was also very confused, so he said in the "Peking Youth Daily", "I will never make a movie like "The Horse Thief" again."

Started the career stage of "whoever gives the money will shoot".

In fact, the fifth-generation directors were influenced by the Soviet montage avant-garde film theory school, Bazin’s documentary aesthetics, the French New Wave, and the modernist film aesthetics. With the development of the times, they will also be influenced by Hollywood film styles. Hollywood's audio-visual language can be clearly captured from their films.

Why Zhang Yimou was criticized, isn't it because of this.

It can only be said that because of his identity, Wu Xiaozu has not received direct criticism, but 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, they were short and smattering, and had a lot of interest in movies.

"The audiovisual language of a movie is very important, and our generation can't rest on its laurels based on the foundation laid by the master. However, the movie itself does not only have audiovisual language or structure. An excellent movie may have different meanings in the eyes of different people." Amlet'.

On Hong Kong Island, I have always encouraged young people to be innovative and willing to give them opportunities.It is very difficult for a new director to become a director, and the opportunity is also very rare.Before, I heard director Li Hanxiang talk about their difficulties.

It's not a bad thing to be brave.

However, I have always been sure of one thing.As a director, the first three works are very important to him, not only to constantly improve the unformed style in his heart, but also to make people realize his value.No matter what, we can't ignore the market's feedback to us, and say a very common saying: 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 do art, so I want to close my eyes and make a literary film!But I want to eat!right?

So now I am a film that is partial to the commercial market, a work of experimental pioneers.

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

So, I will sit here and discuss with you.

I like "Yellow Earth" very much, and I also like "The Black Cannon Incident". This drama is basically the black humor of Western aesthetics and film theory!At the same time, I also like "The Murder of the Silver Snake" directed by Shaohong. Its visual impact, heavy mouth and even clear color?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 scene..."

Wu Xiaozu's eloquent nonsense made Huang Jianxin and Li Shaohong ashamed, but eager to try.

Seeing this scene, Wu Xiaozu's eyelids jumped.

I don't think I will use the two directors of the fifth generation who are best at filming 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 sentence, all the money-losing goods in the audience glared.

Brother Chen Kai picked up the tea bowl and took a sip leisurely, cool!
He is indeed the man he is optimistic about!

Lifting the chin slightly, the nostrils are so unobstructed.

"Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang nodded and smiled, "Director Wu, I'm really grateful for the Chinese-language film industry, as well as pioneers and guides like you! The Chinese-language film support plan you mentioned earlier, I want to communicate with you on behalf of Beijing Film Studio... ..."

"No...no problem!" Wu Xiaozu Yue Zhiyuan waved his hands apprehensively, "For the development of Chinese-language films, I'm just doing some small things within my power."

As he spoke, he casually revealed: "In addition to helping newcomers on Hong Kong Island, I also have contacts with Yang Dejian, director of Wanwan, and director Hou Xiaochen, but... don't use words like guides, everyone makes progress together. ...to 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 directors! You can truly let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend! If you need any help from me, just ask." Wu Xiaozu Seriously.

"Looking back, I have two books here. If director Jianxin and director Shaohong are interested, I can contribute. Whether it's a co-production, or shooting in Hong Kong...it's all fine."

If Li Shaohong really went to Hong Kong Island to film, it is estimated that the "cucumber slice" version of "Dream of Red Mansions" will not appear, right?

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

In future generations, Hong Kong films are in decline and know how to go north. Who said they can't be allowed to come and make films at this time?
As for the issue of the unit... I guess I really want to hold the banner of "Chinese film revival" and "ethnic culture", so it shouldn't be difficult for the higher-ups to pass it. At worst, I can also choose "co-production films"!
Due to political considerations, maybe the higher ups prefer them to go to Hong Kong Island to film... It's only 97 years away from 9!
At this time, it is also the beginning of the real thawing of cross-strait relations, and the timing is also very suitable.

As for whether there will be acclimatization... there will definitely be, but Huang Jianxin and Li Shaohong are among the directors who are more capable of shooting commercial dramas.

The former is also tactful enough, otherwise he would not be able to shoot a comedy like "Stand Up Straight Don't Get Down" and a drama like "Back to Back Face to Face"!The latter is simply the movie version of "Thick Black Studies" and "The Officialdom".

In fact, in the previous life, at this point in time, some directors in the Mainland were also supported by foreign capital as sources of funds.

Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine", Jiang Wen's "Sunny Day", and even Grange's most classic "Blue Kite". "Fanghua" is now...

It is said that it is a depressive version of "Forrest Gump" mainly because it is similar to the structure of Forrest Gump, which is based on the series of historical events, but it is not different from the positive and upward nature of "Forrest Gump".

Tian Zhuangzhuang was also banned for nearly ten years because of "Blue Kite", and then...was banned again for filming "Wu Qingyuan"...

This is also one of the main reasons why his reputation at home and abroad is not as high as the other two 78-level three heroes—Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.

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

"The fifth generation~"

Several people chewed for a while, and they all readily accepted the name.

"Director Wu, is it convenient for me to go to the Northwest to seek a living? Don't worry, I don't need wages, just take care of food and housing." Tian Zhuangzhuang asked with a smile.

"Of course no problem!" Wu Xiaozu said.

"Let's go and have a look too?" Huang Jianxin looked at Li Shaohong, who hesitated for a while, then nodded.

When Li Hanxiang came to Beijing to film, they were all taken by the teacher to observe and benefited a lot.

How can they not be tempted by Wu Xiaozu, who has been rated as "the most talented film director in Chinese films" abroad?
Zhang Yimou's award-winning "Red Sorghum" is very good, but they feel... Maybe they can do it too.

However, Wu Xiaozu's things are different!

His film language and structure, light, shadow and lens are all amazing abroad!

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

"Then can we go??" Ao Dajin suddenly said.

"??" Tian Zhuangzhuang, Chen Kaige, Huang Jianxin and Li Shaohong turned their heads.

"Our senior brother Song Ke is a very good musician nowadays, we can also help..." Short, tight, blushing and heartbeating said.

(ω)! ? ? ?
Song Ke looked at the short, tall and tight man who sold himself, with a look of astonishment on his face: Didn't you just say that Wu Xiaozu got it during the discussion?

Why did you surrender to the enemy in the blink of an eye? ?
"Song Ke is not bad." The honest old wolf helped.

Wu Xiaozu looked at the legendary Song Ke brother...

"Director Wu~ I can do it, I really can do it!" Song Ke patted his chest with a grin.

"If you're willing, just take it as my compensation." Wu Xiaozu took it all away, and told Li Jue, "Talk to Comrade Public Security later, they shouldn't commit hooliganism...

Let's see how you perform in the future! "

Senior Brother Song Ke, Ai Dasong and Lao Lang almost peed out of fear!
hooliganism...

They almost fell to the ground.

At this time, there are really Hong Kong businessmen or international directors suing them for hooliganism... Damn it!
Ao Dasong flattered and sneered, "Thank you, Director Wu!"

Huh?
How did you snatch Feicheng's expression pack? ?
