At the premiere of "Inception", the famous director Tian Zhuangzhuang walked on the red carpet.

He is Chen Kaige's childhood friend, classmate, best friend, and one of the fifth generation directors.

Zhang Jianya, the director of "Sanmao Joins the Army" and "Qian Xuesen", once said, "After Zhuxinzhuang, I only admire Tian Zhuangzhuang."

Zhuxinzhuang is the former site of the Beijing Film Academy. Before graduation, Tian Zhuangzhuang completed the filming of four works, "Our Corner", "The Courtyard", "September", and "Red Elephant", which was the first in Beijing Film Academy.

And the most common comment on his films is that they are incomprehensible!

Wang Shuo's comment is: "It is like a big ear sticker stuck on the face of Chinese audiences, and every one of them is fainted."

Chinese people can't understand his films, but Dutch director Joris Ivens thinks that Tian Zhuangzhuang's "The Horse Thief" is a great work.

And the famous director Martin Scorsese was amazed after watching Tian's "The Hunting Ground Zasa" and asserted that Tian Zhuangzhuang would become the greatest director in China.

Later, Tian Zhuangzhuang was banned for ten years.

Chen Kaige's "The Promise" is incomprehensible, but at least it's fun to watch.

Tian Zhuangzhuang's films are really incomprehensible to many people.

But he doesn't care about that. He once said that "The Horse Thief" was made for the audience of the next century.

Unfortunately, even in the 21st century, many audiences still can't understand his works.

Tian Zhuangzhuang's films have always maintained a considerable distance from the public's understanding and expectations, and are even more different from commercial blockbusters.

It is really surprising that such a pure art film director appeared on the red carpet of the premiere of a commercial blockbuster.

During the interview, the new host Liu Yan asked, "Hello, Director Tian, ​​are you here to attend the premiere to follow your classmates Director Chen Kaige and Director Zhang Yimou and prepare to shoot a blockbuster?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang shook his head and smiled innocently, "No, I just heard that Director Jiang Heng's film is not easy to understand, so I came to see it!"

After that, he walked straight to the venue.

Tian Zhuangzhuang just resigned as director of Beijing Film Studio last year and became a tutor at the Graduate School of Beijing Film Academy. Although he has not been able to make movies for ten years, he is still very respectable.

After entering and finding a seat, an acquaintance immediately greeted him.

"Hey, Lao Tian, ​​a rare guest!"

"Director Tian, ​​why are you here?"

"Are you also preparing to make a blockbuster?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang smiled and greeted everyone one by one, saying: "No, I just came to see what a blockbuster that I can't understand is like!"

"Then you have to go to see Lao Chen's "The Promise"!" Someone joked.

When art films were hot and the film and television industry was chasing the awards of the three major European film festivals, Chen, Zhang, Tian and others were the absolute "kings". Now the rankings have changed, and the box office is the king, but they are actually ridiculed.

Tian Zhuangzhuang secretly felt nostalgic and seemed out of place with the people around him.

He was not very interested in the various gimmicks of the premiere.

This time, I came here just to see what Jiang Heng's film is like and whether it is really "incomprehensible".

The ban on directing has expired, and he is considering whether he should take into account the audience's ability to understand in future films, and to what extent.

On the stage, the host spoke, Jiang Heng also went up to say a few words, and then it was time for the main film.

At the beginning of the film, there were waves, and the somewhat old Wu Yizu was lying in the shallow water on the shore.

A little boy with blond hair and a shirt turned his back to the camera and threw sand behind him. Wu Yizu slowly raised his head and saw a little girl running over with her back to him.

Wu Yizu was in a very weak state. He wanted to shout but couldn't say anything, and then he fainted.

A gun hit his back twice, and the camera turned, and a man with an Asian face wearing security uniform checked Wu Yizu's condition. After seeing the pistol on his waist, he hurriedly shouted something in Japanese.

In the distance, a huge palace-like building stood on the rocky shore. The guards outside heard it and hurriedly ran towards the "palace".

Inside the palace full of "Japanese" style, an old man turned his back to the camera to listen to the report.

When the male protagonist played by Wu Yizu was dragged in and sat across the long table to eat, everyone could see the old man's appearance clearly.

It was Chiba Shinichi, who played Xiongba in "Wind and Cloud". He was old and frail and was about to die.

The audience was a little puzzled, after all, their impression of this man was still that of Xiongba.

Director Jiang asked him to come here, wouldn't he just play an old man?

Fortunately, the camera turned and both of them looked much younger.

Wu Yizu, who was wearing a well-tailored suit and looked handsome, talked freely.

Chiba Shinichi, who was opposite him, was eating with big mouthfuls.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt was also in a suit, and he occasionally interrupted a few words, like the male protagonist's assistant.

And what they said was to steal information from people's subconscious.

Cobb, played by Wu Yizu, called himself a "dream stealer" and said that he could help Saito, played by Chiba Shinichi, train his subconscious.

To be honest, many viewers were a little confused when they saw this.

The concept of "stealing dreams" is a bit abstract, and I don't know how Director Jiang Heng will present it.

Tian Zhuangzhuang thinks that this film may not be as difficult to understand as imagined, but the setting is too novel!

In fact, the word "stealing dreams" is not that difficult to understand. Similar concepts include "telepathy" and "mind reading". It should be that the form of expression is too novel.

After all, even if he was asked to shoot, he didn't know how to perfectly show things like "mind reading".

Of course, he wouldn't shoot these mysterious things.

The film continues, Cobb mentions opening his heart and the safe.

Saito may have realized something, wiped his mouth, stood up, and walked away quickly.

"He saw through it!" said assistant Arthur.

At this time, the room, table, chandelier, and cup shook.

Cobb looked at his watch, and the camera turned to see an explosion on a foreign street.

In an older suite, Cobb sat with his eyes closed in another set of clothes, Saito was lying on the bed, and Arthur was sitting on a chair. Everyone had a tube on their wrist. A man with a Middle Eastern face walked back and forth to check the situation.

Younger viewers can easily understand the plot and say to the people around them that they should all be in a dream.

In the luxurious building, the shaking continued.

Arthur thought this was a trap, while Cobb thought that the secret must be in the safe and he was going to get it.

At this time, Arthur asked, what is she doing here?

Cobb turned his head and looked into the distance, saying that he would deal with it, and then walked through the crowd at the cocktail party and came to the character played by Monica Bellucci.

Bellucci's look this time is more mature and beautiful, and the male lead played by Wu Yizu is elegant and looks quite CP-like.

Especially after arriving in the room, Bellucci took off her coat and only wore a dress, which made her figure even more impressive.

"Is Director Jiang giving everyone a treat? Bellucci is so beautiful!"

"With such a good figure, how can the male lead resist reminiscing about the past!"

As a result, the male lead played by Wu Yizu, fell downstairs with a rope, killed several guards with a silenced pistol, and found the safe to change the documents inside.

Just at this moment, the lights came on.

The male lead hurriedly turned around with a gun, only to find that his "old lover" was standing with Saito with a gun.

"Fuck, what's going on, love turns to hate?"

Because the plot has just unfolded, the audience does not know the relationship between the characters, and thinks that the character played by Bellucci is the old lover of the male lead.

What's more, they think that the woman played by Bellucci is married to Saito!
