"Hahaha......"

The two of them couldn't stop laughing, it's quite appropriate for the tiger father to use the dog here?

"I know that many people now question the so-called fifth generation of directors!"

"Say we don't while we occupy the pit?"

"Haven't you made any contributions to Chinese-language films?"

Lao Mouzi said helplessly: "Actually, it's very subtle, the fifth generation won gold and silver in the eighties and nineties, when I was called an award-winning professional, it seems that I must win that feeling when I win an award, you must understand, right?"

"Because it was an era, reform and opening up, all kinds of waste were waiting to be rebuilt, we caught up with the big wave of development, and foreigners have great curiosity about our new film younger generation. ”

"There are also more and more complex interpretations of the general environment, which invisibly improve the connotation of your work, and finally it seems to become the fifth generation. ”

"Until now, I don't think there's anything remarkable about the fifth generation of these people, it's the times that make heroes, and the same is true of international film festivals. Now that this era and this energy have passed, it must be different from the past. ”

Ding Cheng was in awe, he didn't expect that as the leader of the fifth generation, he would be so self-aware?

Zhang Yimou waved his hand, felt his shadow in Ding Cheng, and continued to share: "After so many years of openness, and it is the Internet era, foreigners know us well, so they no longer hold curiosity and mystery, and will come to see your works more objectively." ”

"The film market has been very good in the past ten years, the media has publicized tens of billions of box office dollars every day, all kinds of firsts and firsts, and there are too many cowhides, and people are easy to treat you as a nouveau riche, and they invisibly feel that your movies are very commercial and have no connotation. ”

"Plus all kinds of so-called celebrities rubbing the red carpet in recent years, hey, there's no way to do it!"

After taking a sip of tea, he remembered something and explained: "The Great Wall is different, the Hollywood system is too industrialized, not to mention anything else, just one insurance company will play you to death!"

"That movie can't be changed because of insurance, so you can't change the script, if you want to change it a little, you must first ask the insurance company if you agree?"

"People say that I guarantee this script, and if you change it, it will not be within the scope of my guarantee!"

"It's that system, it can't be changed, all kinds of instructions, all kinds of questions, and it can't change a word. Even if you work hard to the end, even the right to cut the final is not yours. ”

Ding Cheng nodded, picked up the script, and saw two familiar names:

WU Lei,

Guan Xiaohua?

"Since we are making commercial films, we are indispensable to pay attention to traffic. "Who is Lao Mouzi, open and honest: "Actually, the two children have acting skills, but they just haven't played it." ”

I don't know if the box office is good or not, but the director's ability to train actors is still awesome, such as Gong Li...... Zhang Ziyi...... Another example is Zhou Chunyu......

Returning to the script, Zhang Yimou said confidently: "It seems to be a black-and-white costume film, and the scene is not grand, but I want to use a literary tone to tell a bloody palace fight about a stand-in in the history of the overhead." ”

Ding Cheng had a flash of inspiration and blurted out: "Kurosawa Akira's shadow warrior?"

Zhang Yimou's eyes lit up and he praised: "Not bad!"

"The script actually originates from Zhu Sujin's "Jingzhou of the Three Kingdoms", which tells the story of Guan Yu's carelessness in Jingzhou. In the hands of our screenwriters, it becomes a fictional legend of an alternate historical dynasty. ”

"First, I can circumvent the censorship of major historical themes, and secondly, it is convenient for me to infuse a large number of symbols and passwords of traditional culture into them, without being bound by history......"

"It has nothing to do with Jingzhou, but the drunkard's intention is not to drink!"

After speaking, he looked at Ding Cheng and asked seriously, "Do you understand the Book of Changes?"

Ding Cheng was stunned and shook his head.

"Jingzhou, two countries with opposing forces: Peiguo and Yanguo. The border is the edge of the word soil, representing the border of the country, and the five elements belong to the soil. ”

"Flame is fire, and Pei is water. Among the five elements, water and fire are not mutually exclusive, and they are hedged against each other, especially water can overcome fire. ”

"But from the perspective of reciprocity, fire can give birth to earth, and soil can in turn overcome water, and the earth forms a layer of protection for fire, becoming a kind of equilibrium!"

Ding Cheng was a little surprised, he didn't expect that there were so many doorways in the seemingly simple name?

Zhang Yimou smiled slightly, enjoyed the other party's shocked expression, and continued to pretend: "So in the background of the movie, Pei Guo is strong, but he has never dared to make a mistake against Yan Guo, just because the latter occupies a disputed land - Jingzhou. ”

"It is a dangerous place, such a pattern, water and fire are not separated, water is fire, and fire is born to overcome water, so as to form a stalemate situation......"

"And then in the whole tone, this is a work that is closely related to water, and most of the scenes I designed were shrouded in a solemn smoke and rain. ”

"The predominance of black is not just a tribute to Akira Kurosawa, but because the hue of water in the five elements happens to be black. ”

"Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth correspond to white, blue, black, red, and yellow. The water lord is black, that is, where the Xuanwu is located. Water is also the main wisdom and strategy, so it is also a palace fighting drama with a black theme. ”

Ding Cheng suddenly realized, looking at several costume blockbusters before the director: "Hero" is red and satin, which is a fire.

"Ambush on All Sides" is full of green bamboos and wood.

"The City is Full of Golden Armor", of course, it is gold.

"The Great Wall" is about the imperial capital and the city wall, which belongs to the soil.

And the latest "Shadow" is water.

Boy

You're the password!

"Look at the beginning, I designed the witch played by Sun Li to divinate a hexagram for King Pei. Put three copper coins in the turtle shell, keep shaking, and then throw them to get a hexagram. ”

"This hexagram is masculine to strong, and there is no place for a woman!"

"This is the bloody court struggle, both of which are for the Son of Heaven and the royal road. So letting her shake out the trigram at the beginning is directly a hint of the subsequent plot direction. ”

Ding Cheng picked up the script again and compared them one by one, and he actually had a feeling of not knowing how strong he was.

Let's look at the second sentence Sun Li said: As long as it rains for seven days, the water will win.

Could it be......

"The greatness of our ancestors lies in the fact that, unlike Western civilization, light and darkness, order and chaos are regarded as complete opposites. ”

Rather, it is believed that between yang and yin, there is not a complete separation, but there is a mutual transformation, the yang and the yin, the yin and the yang, that is, the "Tao Te Ching" mentioned in the object pole must be reversed. ”

"I'm just borrowing this theme, what I really want to express is the deep-rooted concept of yin and yang in the Chinese character. Everyone has both a yang side and a yin side. ”

"The stand-in you played, when you met King Pei, was dressed in black as a general, while King Pei was dressed in white. In this scene, you are yin, and King Pei is yang. ”

"The latter, as a king, is high above, of course, in the position of the Son of Heaven. And you, as an assistant general, are in a position of obedience, and naturally belong to yin. ”

But in the later scene, when the stand-in returns home and sees the real general, the color of his clothes immediately changes. The stand-in was dressed in white, while the general who lived deep in the cave was dressed in black. ”

Ding Cheng blurted out: "At this moment, the stand-in is taking on the work of the outside world in the bright place, and he belongs to Yang." The general controls everything in the dark, so it is naturally yin!"

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "I just want this kind of conversion between yin and yang, which is directly reflected in the color of the clothes of the characters in each scene, expressing a strong sense of elaborate design." ”

Ding Cheng nodded secretly, worthy of being a national teacher, really pretending to be forced.

This may be the key reason why he can be officially recognized!

is not only himself, but Pei Wang played by Little Cheetah also changes black and white back and forth on various occasions. It looks like a fool, but in fact, it is ill-intentioned and full of murderous intentions.

Due to the needs of work, different performances and arrangements are made depending on different occasions, and even in some scenes with strong dramatic tension, the clothes on the body will be interpenetrated and intertwined with black and white, which is difficult to solve......

It is because of this mixture of yin and yang, and even the weirdness of yin and yang, that it symbolizes a complex imperial mentality, which makes people unaware of it.

As a director, you have to make the actors fully understand their intentions in a variety of ways.

Most of them are on the set, a few words from the masters, and newcomers need a little bit of hands-on teaching.

Ding Cheng is different, his talent is so high that he has a good reputation, especially the role of grasping the complexity of his heart, which can be called perfect.

The so-called complexity is not something that can be done by shouting a few lines. It requires all kinds of details, a lot of micro-expressions accumulate, and the quantitative change causes a qualitative change little by little, and it is ...... unconsciously

Looking back suddenly,

The audience found out that the character had actually changed a person!
