The screen went dark, the lights came on, and the audience gave a polite standing ovation. After all, it was the premiere of the previously hyped "Sun", and in addition to the audience, there were also many guests at the scene, such as the chairman of the jury, the national teacher, the winner of the last Golden Lion Award, Jia Section Chief, and of course, Marco Muller, who is known as the "favorite Chinese film", and so on.

Tong Yali, who also stood up and applauded together, muttered in a low voice: "What is this movie about? Why don't I understand it at all!"

"Me too, it seems like a pretty simple story, how to make it confusing. Chen Zhixi also followed.

"Shhhh He Xin said busily.

"What's the matter, foreigners can't understand Chinese. ”

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. If you don't understand, go back and ask our guide Diao for advice. Don't talk nonsense when you go to a drinking party for a while. ”

In fact, He Xin also knew a little about it, he hadn't seen this movie in his previous life, and he originally had great expectations. After all, after watching "Sunny Days" and "The Devil is Coming", including the nominally land-based "Looking for a Gun", he was greatly shocked by Jiang Wen's unbridled imagination and expression, and then thought of the "Let the Bullets Fly" he had seen in his previous life, and had to admit that Jiang Wen deserved the title of "ghost director".

But after watching "The Sun" today, this "ghost director" has a huge question mark in his mind. The reason why he said that he didn't understand it was because "The Sun" actually told a very simple story, which can be summed up as follows: Fang Zuming and Jiang Wen's wife Kong Wei were killed in an affair; Jiang Wen and Huang Qiusheng, two old friends, were teaching at Beijing University; Jiang Wen and Cheng Chong, who had a wife, were cheating on him and were broken by Huang Qiusheng......

Turning over and over again, it is a story that revolves around cheating, Jiang Wen cheated with Cheng Chong, and in turn, Fang Zuming stole his wife. The movie is actually very beautiful, with bright colors, moving music, and fast camera jumps.

Especially Jiang Wen's skills in expressing cyan, there is no exposed shot in the whole film, just through the performance of Cheng Chong and Kong Wei's posture, expression and breathing, it makes the sexy under the depression of the times deeply shock the audience.

"It's very oriental, but it conveys a very Western consciousness. European film critics commented.

Translated: very smoldering!

But all of this feels very deliberate.

Jiang Wen may be too burdened by the so-called "genius", "ghost talent", and even the tall hat of "master". is obviously a very simple story, but it has to be filmed grotesquely and ambiguously, inexplicably, and it is very "style", which makes people feel less and less true the more they watch.

watched the whole movie, and understood the story, but I just didn't understand what Jiang Wen wanted to express through this movie. As Chen Zhixi said, it's a very simple story, how can it make people confused?

Of course, He Xin would not maliciously speculate that Jiang Wen was simply pretending to be forced, boasting that he was sunny and snowy, and deliberately separated himself from the lower riba people, in order to show that he was the most awesome director in China. I just felt that Jiang Wen was a little too self-expressive and too self-indulgent, and finally made such a movie that most people probably can't understand.

Don't watch the movie and everyone gave a standing ovation, but this is all etiquette, and it is definitely not as warm and sincere as in "Lust and Caution".

The effect of the premiere was average, so much so that after the movie ended, most of the main creators came to the stage to ask questions, and there were few foreigners. However, compared with the low-key nature of "Lust and Caution", the wealthy crew of "Sun" also held a grand reception after the premiere. 、

Funny to say, a large number of media reporters poured in at the reception, so the guests ate and drank around the table and chatted, while the reporters stood in a row with guns and sprints. Filming the picture of the celebrity eating is still secondary, the key is to wait for the celebrities to find out about the existence of the camera and take the initiative to open up, then there is a chance to make an appointment to talk. And after all, the cocktail party is not a press conference, group photos, and autographs are allowed.

He Xin and his entourage have been very low-key since they came to Venice. So when the reporter found him, he frequently took pictures of him.

"Director, has the filming of "Red Cliff" been completed?"

He Xin and Lu Yue were crowded at a table, speaking of low-key, Lu Yue was more low-key than him, and he couldn't even see the news of "" shortlisted for the horizon unit in the domestic online media, and the heroes and heroines in the film, Wang Zhiwen and Wang Tong, didn't come, just him, similar to Diao Yinan, and watched movies in the movie palace every day.

"I quit a long time ago, don't you know?" Lu Yue said in surprise.

"Uh, I really don't know, what's going on?" He Xin was also surprised.

Speaking of which, as the film with the largest investment in domestic history, "Red Cliff" has been in turmoil since it was launched in April. First of all, Zhou Runfa broke the contract halfway, and Zhou Yu had to find Liang Chaowei again, and the figures of the two were very different, and the sets, costumes, and so on had to be redesigned and produced; then the martial arts instructor and the director's concept did not agree, and they had to be replaced by Yuan Kui halfway; then because of environmental problems, the location had to be moved from the Yangtze River in Hubei to a reservoir in Hebei for filming; the helicopter crash of aerial photography, the fire that burned a staff member, and so on, accidents occurred one after another.

Lu Yue smiled slightly and said indifferently: "It's nothing, the director's level is high, I may not be able to keep up, I know how to be interested!"

The two have worked together, and Lu Yue has always been a very gentle person in He Xin's mind, and he never makes irresponsible remarks, but today he has said it to this point, and it is obvious that he has a lot of differences with Wu Yusen.

On the set, the director, cinematographer and art designer should be said to be the most important behind-the-scenes creators, and the director's intention is to realize through these two. No matter who has a disagreement with the director, they will definitely not be able to shoot.

He Xin had no intention of asking about the specific differences between Lu Yue and Wu Yusen, but he was able to force an honest person like Lu Yue to be anxious, and even lowered his perception of Wu Yusen by a level.

"So, now Uncle Li is left alone to work?"

"Yes, he knows how to be flexible better than me!" Lu Yue shook his head and said with emotion.

The implication is that he and Uncle Li's views are the same, but they are different from the director's philosophy, but Uncle Li chose to stay, and he chose to leave.

"I heard that you picked up a TV series for him?" Lu Yue then asked.

"Yes, it's not finalized yet, but this drama is really good, and I really like the characters in it. He Xin said and introduced to him the general situation of the play "The Right Way in the World is the Vicissitudes of Life".

"Lao Zhang, this guy is still very reliable in filming TV series. Lu Yue nodded and smiled.

Why is the status of movie coffee higher than that of TV coffee, in addition to the difference in artistic expression, the biggest difference often lies in the level of the director.

It is an indisputable fact that the standard of film directors is higher than that of TV drama directors. Uncle Li's several movies failed, but the parts that he took out on the small screen were all high-quality products.

"Lu Yue!"

The two were chatting, when the national teacher came over to say hello, and it seemed that the national teacher was about to withdraw.

"A scheme!"

Lu Yue stood up and shook hands with the national teacher.

These two are old classmates of the 78th class of Nortel's photography department. Speaking of which, their 78th Photography Department has produced a lot of people who are excellent and directed, and there is no doubt that the national teacher is the most successful one.

Nortel's director department has always prided itself on being the best of the sky, among which Director Chen and Lu String are the most typical. They have always been very disdainful of directors from Yeluzi, just like after the national teacher won the Golden Bear Award, Director Chen also said sourly: Isn't Ya just me a photographer!

Of course, after that, Guoshi alone won more international awards than other Chinese directors combined, so naturally no one called him a photographer anymore. And in the circle, everyone who is called a certain director is named a certain director, even Director Chen is no exception, except for the national teacher, everyone is commensurate with the director.

Therefore, compared with those who were born in the director department, directors from the wild road are easier to get together. For example, as one of the leaders of the sixth generation of directors, even if Section Chief Jia won the Golden Lion Award, in the eyes of Wang Xiaoshuai, Zhang Yuan and others, he still thinks that his skills are very poor.

No, Diao Yinan had a hot fight with Section Chief Jia as soon as he arrived at the reception. One of the two is from the Nortel Department of Literature and the other is from the Department of Chinese Opera and Literature, with the same professional background. Jia Kechang debuted early, Diao Yinan debuted a little later, and the two also have a mutual friend Yu Liwei, which is all the same.

Just like the greetings between the national teacher and Lu Yue at this time, everyone was full of smiles and did not see the slightest outside.

"Koga!"

The national teacher then greeted He Xin warmly.

"Hello, director!" He Xinma said.

The national teacher shook hands with him and hesitated slightly, then whispered to him: "Your movie is very good!"

After speaking, without waiting for him to react, he let go of his hand and beckoned: "Eat slowly, I'll leave first." ”

Then he waved to the reporters who gathered around, and strode out early.

When the national teacher retreated, a sharp-eyed reporter immediately asked him: "He Xin, what did Director Zhang tell you just now, can you reveal it?"
