From the dream-chasing showbiz to remake bad films

Chapter 87
Hearing what Pei Yang said, Feng Yuanzheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Actually, my idea is just an idea, but it seems to have some effect in practice."

When Pei Yang heard Feng Yuanzheng's words, he was also a little stunned. Feng Yuanzheng's theory is just a theory, and it is still the kind of theory that has hardly been formed.

"But if you want to study film and television aesthetics systematically, I personally think that you should start with the introduction to aesthetics. The purpose of books on general theory is to introduce the framework of the entire subject to beginners clearly and briefly, and then choose the ones you are interested in. The direction of branching is expanded and deepened. As far as the theory of film and television aesthetics is concerned, it can be divided into film and television creation theory and criticism theory..."

"Teacher Feng, Teacher Feng?" Pei Yang interrupted Feng Yuanzheng.

What Feng Yuanzheng wants to recommend here is the critical theory. The critical theory is divided into classic theory and modern theory by the esthetician Jean Mitri. The classic theory deals with the aesthetics of film ontology, that is, the relationship between film and reality.After the rise of linguistics and structuralism, film criticism turned to modern film theory. On the basis of film semiotics, it began to develop second semiotics, narratology, feminist criticism, ideological criticism and so on.

As for Pei Yang, he is an expert in this field. Only works on critical theory and aesthetics, that is, books on critical theory and specific critical practice are not included. "Peng Jixiang, "Introduction to Western Film Theory and Genres" Huang Lin Major Publishing House, "Film Theory Reader" Yang Hongying, "Film Theory Reader", Yang Hongying, this book is a collection of famous works by famous theorists.

As for specific criticism, Pei Yang also read: "Film Theory and Criticism" Dai Jinhua, each chapter of Dai's book is the analysis of theory plus specific examples. This book is highly recommended reading. "Eighteen Lectures on Classic Movies" Dai Jinhua, you can find the audio of the classroom recording of this book, which is also a blessing for theoretical reading analysis. Unlike the previous book, many film analyzes are multiple theoretical criticisms applied to a film text. Also recommended.

After reading these four books, the basic framework of the entire aesthetics is very clear, not to mention that Pei Yang has also studied various branches of aesthetics, such as the introduction to narratology, including "Story and Discourse" (Simocha Terman) Film as Art, Film Aesthetics (Bella Balazs), On Montage, Theory of Film Practice, Film Language, What is Film? ", "Film Aesthetics and Psychology", "Imaginable Signifiers", "Film Poetics" and so on.

So Pei Yang knew that Feng Yuanzheng was reciting Master Dai's "Film Theory and Criticism" when he heard it superficially.

Pei Yang thought, this is not possible, the criminal officer is just trying to fool me, he is hiding something, and he doesn't want to give me a little benefit, I will take him and squeeze him, so as not to make a waste of a trip .

"No, hey, Uncle Feng, can we be more honest with each other?" Pei Yang immediately threw out a large number of Jingkou movies.

When Feng Yuanzheng heard the word "grandfather", his mind suddenly became a little dazed, so he didn't say anything.

Maybe it's a common problem of people in Kyoto to become confused when they hear the words "the two are close to each other"?

"I've heard old Zhou tou say that you have researched your method of diversification." Pei Yang paused for a moment, then said flickeringly: "And it's mature and meaningful." Feng Yuanzheng gave a thumbs up.

Feng Yuanzheng originally wanted to reply with a few words of modesty from the people of Kyoto: "You are wrong, you are wrong."

But how could Pei Yang give him this kind of opportunity, "It's not an award, but you can't afford my absurd praise."

Immediately afterwards, his mouth beeped like a machine gun: "But, look, such a scholar full of research spirit, such a talented and inspired esthetician, is actually a cheapskate!"

Feng Yuanzheng was about to retort: ​​"You let go~"

But Pei Yang would not give him such a chance to refute sophistry, and directly interrupted Feng Yuanzheng.

"Are you planning to hide your secrets? You don't want to give me such a young man with a pure heart, and you don't want to give your brother Runqing's nephew, your good friend Jianhua's apprentice, to talk about such a new one." Let him also cultivate a more advanced atmosphere, instead of still sinking into the ignorant and dark muddy pond?"

Feng Yuanzheng was speechless all the time, but he seemed to be fooled by Pei Yang's rhetoric.

At this time, Pei Yang stood up suddenly and shouted loudly:
"Crying is bursting silence

Silence is a silent call
regardless of agitation

still quiet
i pray

as long as it's not bland
if the distance calls me

I will go far
if the mountains call me

I'm going to the mountains
worn out feet
Just let the sunset paint the path again
Scratched hands
Simply let the thorns become rhododendrons

There is no longer way than feet
There is no mountain higher than man"

After shouting, Pei Yang stood upright beside the sofa panting, looking at Feng Yuanzheng who had fallen into a daze, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful in his heart. That brain that is already close to bewildered can't understand it.

Feng Yuanzheng raised his head numbly, and looked at Pei Yang's rather young face: "Why are you yelling so loudly?"

"Ah?" Pei Yang was really confused.

The first is that not only did Feng Yuanzheng’s first sentence actually say this, but it also carried a taste of the Northeast. This made Feng Yuanzheng not confused, but Pei Yang was a little confused. Feng Tou is not from Nagada in Northeast China either!
The second is that in this parallel world, there is no modern poem titled "The Mountains are High and the Road is Far" by Wang Guozhen, and usually such a classic, as one of the pillars of human art, has a high cultural level and spiritual cultivation. The extremely high Feng Yuanzheng has never heard of it, so would he be surprised and confused?

Feng Yuanzheng took two deep breaths, and his face became more and more relaxed: "Little thing, are you the reincarnation of a vixen? You have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. But I, Feng Yuanzheng, have been in Renyi for so many years. I haven't seen any big storms. Are you really Do you feel that you will be useful to me, the old man, if you are aggressive and miserable?"

Pei Yang smiled awkwardly. After all, he really had no choice but to come up with such a trick.

The success of this strategy is based on: First, Feng Yuanzheng is a senior with a good temper and is willing to support the younger generation.Second, I do have a teacher. Uncle Runqing's level is not big or small. At worst, let Uncle Runqing owe a favor, and let the teacher pay it back at that time.Three, I considered giving this song "The Mountain is High and the Road is Far" as a gift. After all, this poem is so classic. When people talk about this poem, they will also think of Feng Yuanzheng. People, especially people like Feng Yuanzheng The seniors of art are not very interested in gold and stone objects, but they still like fame, especially good reputation, which has been passed down through the ages.

So although Pei Yang was a little embarrassed, he was still very confident.
