Chapter 551 An Invitation from the Fifth Generation of Chinese Directors

After all, the three of Wang Xiaohu didn't see the movie at the back window. It wasn't that they didn't want to try this strange way of watching movies, but just when they were going to queue up, several movie theater staff rushed over.

People who were standing on tiptoes on various things just now, stretching their necks to watch movies, heard the movement and pretended to spread out like birds and beasts. During the period, there were screams of someone falling down, but they ran very fast. In a blink of an eye, there was no one behind the window.

Several staff members removed the things under the window with wry smiles, and complained that they stood behind the window for half an hour.

"Let's go, I think we won't be able to watch a movie today, let's go back to the car and sleep." Zhao Gang said disappointedly.

When the three of them returned to BJ, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon on September 9th. In big cities, it also set a record of three hours of traffic jams.

Wang Xiaohu roughly counted, and there was not a moviegoer he met along the way who couldn’t spend [-] to [-] yuan. If these people all walked into the movie theater, then how spectacular the box office is. No Hong Kong or North American box office can match it. China, which has a population of one billion, is on par.

This fully demonstrates the urgent psychological state of the Chinese people who need and yearn for movies. Their thoughts were blocked by the Cultural Revolution for ten years, and they finally caught up with the reform and opening up. They can't wait to see if the world outside the country is wonderful.

However, Wang Xiaohu was not dazzled by these vigorous desires. Although the Chinese people now need to watch movies, there are still big problems in domestic film institutions, especially the historical problems left over from the Cultural Revolution. Ten years of bad conditions.

With Wang Xiaohu's eyesight of future generations, he can unceremoniously criticize all kinds of bad deeds of Chinese films. For example, Chinese filmmakers are easily influenced by the leaders above, and they attribute the films they shoot to national honor. Thinking about how to shoot movies from the perspective of artistic creation and commercial profit, and even a process of political wrangling.

Even if there is a movie to watch, due to the increase in the cost of film production in China, the movie ticket has increased from a dime in 80 to 100 or [-] later, and even some blockbuster movies are more than [-]. The common people on the road are not enough to buy a movie ticket, let alone watch movies with the whole family on weekends like in Europe and the United States.

Instead of having the money to watch movies, why not buy some firewood, rice, oil and salt and squat at home to watch TV dramas to pass the time. Anyway, TV doesn’t cost money. If you really want to watch a certain movie, it’s not difficult. Just go online and wait for the gun version, although the picture is a bit blurred , but finally understand the general plot, right?

Therefore, the various disadvantages of Chinese films are not developed in a day and a half, but are incurable problems that follow the progress and development of the times and various government interventions.

"Rome wasn't built in a day!" Wang Xiaohu sighed helplessly, returned to the hotel where he had often stayed in for several years, lay down on the bed after taking a bath, and fell asleep soundly.

Wang Xiaohu was quite satisfied with the release of "Mythology" in China, and he also fulfilled his wish left over from his previous life, so this sleep was particularly sweet, and he didn't wake up until someone knocked on the door of the room.

Wang Xiaohu put on his clothes quickly, and seeing that it was pitch black outside, he thought that Zhao Gang must have come to ask him to go out for dinner, but he was stunned when he opened the door.

"Xiao Zhang, why are you here?"

Holding a small basket of apples and bananas in his hand, Zhang Yimou said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, you finally opened the door. I've been knocking for a long time. If you don't open the door, the hotel staff will call the police."

"Hehe, come in quickly." Wang Xiaohu said, "Come here as soon as you come, what should you bring? This basket of fruit is not worth fifty or sixty cents."

If others say this, it must be hypocritical and polite, but Zhang Yimou does not think so. During the several months of filming with the crew of "Mythology", he knows that this teacher is a very real person.

Zhang Yimou said: "You are my teacher, and the students come to see the teacher with nothing empty-handed."

Wang Xiaohu walked to the bedside table with a smile, picked up the thermos bottle and said softly: "Don't play these polite tricks with me in the future, what would you like to drink? Tea or lemonade?"

"No, no, I'm here today to ask the teacher for help, and I'll leave after I finish."

Zhang Yimou is also a real person, he can't hide his thoughts in his stomach, he made it clear when he came up, he is not afraid of Wang Xiaohu's blame, if you talk nonsense for a long time before explaining your purpose, playing tricks, Mr. Wang may not agree.

Wang Xiaohu admired Zhang Yimou as a cheap student, nodded and said, "Tell me, as long as I can do it, I won't shirk it."

"En." Zhang Yimou felt a little uneasy in his heart. He rubbed his hands for more than half a minute before he said, "Mr. Wang, the leader of our college would like to invite you to give us a lecture."

"Ah?" Wang Xiaohu opened his mouth in surprise when he heard the words. He was joking. The leader of the China Film Academy actually asked him to teach them. Reliable."

"But you said it just now." Zhang Yimou was embarrassed when he heard it.

Wang Xiaohu smiled, "You are all college students. My education level is low, and I don't have the slightest theoretical foundation. I will not play tricks in front of you talented students."

"Mr. Wang, don't say that." Zhang Yimou said anxiously: "I feel that you are much better than our teachers. Let's take the shooting scene of the long sword as an example. Our teacher only talked about the fixed-lens shooting technique. , but you divide the fixed shots into long shots, long shots, medium long shots, panoramic shots, medium shots, close shots, and close-ups.”

"There is also the shooting technique of sports shots. We have never learned these things in class." Zhang Yimou felt a little regretful after finishing speaking: "If you can popularize extra-curricular knowledge for us, teacher, I think everyone will be very welcome. .”

Wang Xiaohu sighed and said: "Xiao Zhang, it's not that your teachers haven't talked about it, but some domestic photography equipment is too old, and your teachers have no contact with it. These concepts are summed up by insiders in Hong Kong. The cinematography of movies, especially Hong Kong Kung Fu movies, is not used to replace the physical action, but to emphasize it, so the camera will zoom in on the details of the fighters fighting."

"In fact, to put it bluntly, you are studying theory through theory, and we are summing up experience with experience, just to make better action movies." Wang Xiaohu said with a wry smile: "If you let me follow the homework assignments assigned by your teacher, I can't do it at all to make static things look dynamic."

"Take the "Mythology" we shot as an example. The Qin army responded to the enemy with an array of arrows. The actions of its troops drawing bows and shooting arrows are all reflected in the distant view. The team fills the four corners of the screen, and several similar fixed shots are edited side by side. There are several camera positions to capture the pictures, all to highlight the power and strength of Qin Nu, you have personally shot these shots, what do you think about it?"

Zhang Yimou thought for a while and said: "There is a sense of oppression of soldiers approaching the city. Just by looking at the formation of this army at the beginning, you can guess that their combat effectiveness is very strong." The realm is very exciting.”

"That's it!" Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "This is also the biggest difference between our empirical school and your theoretical school."

Zhang Yimou bit his lip thoughtfully, absorbing this rare course, and when he roughly understood, he still said: "Mr. Wang, you should come to our college to give lectures, otherwise I won't be able to explain it when I go back. what."

"Emotions are still a political task!" Wang Xiaohu laughed while talking: "Okay, I agree to this matter, but you have to say yes to your teacher when you go back, don't let the students bring up some advanced theoretical things , otherwise I would be really ashamed."

"Okay!" Seeing Wang Xiaohu agreeing, Zhang Yimou said with a smile on his face, "We have a total of 145 students, and we have only been in school for less than two years, and our theoretical knowledge is still young."

"Don't say that!" Wang Xiaohu said with a look that did not dare to underestimate the enemy: "I know that you have a few very good students in the 78th class, such as Chen Kaige, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Wu Ziniu and so on."

"Mr. Wang, do you know them? They are all from the Department of Directing, not from the same department as mine." Zhang Yimou asked with widened eyes in surprise.

I know it, how can I not know it, not to mention anything else, didn't the few outstanding directors of the fifth generation of the 78th session come out of BJ Film Academy?Moreover, they enjoy a high reputation in the international film industry because they freed Chinese films from mere narration and formed the basic concept that film is the creation of art.

Wang Xiaohu said in his heart, to be honest, it is very good to see the legendary fifth-generation directors, and Wang Xiaohu also recognized their performance, after all, with their unremitting efforts, Chinese films finally broke through The Japanese film ruled the situation in Asia.

It’s just that these fifth generations didn’t follow through on their original thinking, and were criticized by the media. When good foreign films came on menacingly, they bowed their heads in the face of commercial value, and filmed many films that Chinese people didn’t agree with in order to hit the Oscars. work.

In fact, they have worked hard, at least they have acted as the pathfinders for Chinese films to go to the world, even though they failed!

"Hehe, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Come on, go out to eat with me." Wang Xiaohu didn't answer Zhang Yimou's question, but tidied up his clothes and dragged Zhang Yimou out for dinner.
