Chapter 82: People in Groups

"Happy!"

Guan Hu slapped the table, stood up and poured Ding Cheng full of wine, and said happily: "I like to make friends like you!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, drank all the wine in their glasses, and since they finished talking about work, they sat down again to eat and chat. Ding Cheng is very curious about Guan Hu, as a new generation of directors, several works have a unique style, and the entry point is always unexpected.

"Since I filmed Lao Pao, many people think that I am from Beijing, but in fact, we are Shandong masters. Guan Hu patted his chest and said: "If you want to talk about the old capital, you can only find it under the roots of the imperial city, and there are not many ancestors of the three generations." ”

"At that time, after reading the book, I persuaded him that this kind of work that is too regional may not necessarily be bought by the audience. Xu Wenzheng interjected: "The northern gas is too heavy, how do you let the southern audience enter the plot?"

"I don't believe in this evil, what's the difference?" Guan Hu retorted: "No matter how big it is, there is a big difference between Chinese and Western cultures, can't we watch Hollywood blockbusters?"

To put it bluntly: no matter how many audiences there are, only whether they are good-looking or not. ”

"What kind of big data is it popular to use to analyze the box office now?

"All of them are afterthoughts, and if things like movies can be digitized, then why do we need to do it? Just find a bunch of engineers to do data there. ”

"All kinds of capital are frantically involved, all employees have all the IP, all are efficient, what will become of our market films? No one will be engaged in the film ontology anymore, next year, the year after that, it's terrible, I can't believe it." ”

Speaking of this, he raised his wine glass and took a sip, his face full of helplessness. Ding Cheng and Xu Wenzheng glanced at each other, whether you agree or not, this is the general trend.

There is only one principle for all people: those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish.

Ding Cheng asked curiously, "So you filmed the old gun?"

"At that time, I handed the script to director Xiaogang, and he was really attracted, to be honest, he was actually afraid of acting, but then we talked slowly, which was equivalent to saying that he didn't have to act again, which had nothing to do with acting. ”

"The role of the sixth master is himself, he is particularly familiar with fate, it seems to be talking about the object, you like him, he also likes you, it's as simple as that. ”

"Don't you have any worries about working with him?" Ding Cheng asked, "If there is a disagreement on the set?"

Guan Hu understood Ding Cheng's subtext, waved his hand and smiled: "Actually, there is no problem at all, I was worried about this at the earliest, after all, people are seniors." But I'm very lucky in this industry, and I always meet people who understand. ”

"Because there are too many people in the circle who don't understand, and there are more anxious and utilitarian people. What does it mean to understand people? Once he decides, he will be an actor honestly, and he enjoys it!"

"At the beginning, someone called the director, and we both turned back, and after ten days, he never looked back. So whoever mixes to the top is not shit luck. ”

"Not only him, but also the footage of my own father in the movie, the old man is also an old actor, he has had ups and downs all his life, and he is 93 years old this year. ”

"When I was very young, he was always not around, in fact, the relationship was not particularly good, and the old man liked to be darker. Father and son, as the point of view of storytelling in this play, are indispensable, connecting the previous and the next, as the old man, the top piece appears, such an outlier thing. Just taking advantage of this play, I think he is the most suitable. ”

"One day at the scene, he didn't walk so fast, the camera had to ask to walk in place very fast, no one dared to move him, I had to carry it on my back and quickly run to that place. ”

"You also know that men, especially when they grow up, it is even more impossible for father and son to have physical contact, but this is a peculiarity, when I carried it all at once, do you know how I feel?"

"Very light!" Guan Hu said emotionally: "The person is 93 years old, very light, and my heart softened at that time." I also have children, when I was a child, I thought my father was very tall and mighty, and at that time I thought that I was really lucky, and I had a chance to reconcile with my father before I died. ”

"Just like Xiaobo in our play, many people don't have a chance to settle their past suspicions with their relatives when they die. I once read a saying that a boy can actually become a real man at his father's funeral. ”

"This is the story of two generations, two colliding with each other, two orders trampling or colliding with each other. It seems that fighting and killing for a trivial matter is actually the most important thing in the bones, and good things must be left behind. ”

Including Xiaobo showing the way to others at the end, the same is to speak well, the road is pointed, the way has changed, and the things in the bones have been passed down. Be reasonable, be reasonable, pay attention to rules, understand etiquette, be friends, be moral, and be a man with blood and compassion. ”

"Some movies are very happy for everyone to watch, this is an entertainment function, and it is very hi after watching it. There's also a part of the fun that I think comes at the end of the movie. The lights came on, I went home from the cinema, lay down in the quilt and began to ponder. ”

"So in my life, I especially want to be able to do something meaningful and leave something behind at the end. ”

Ding Cheng was impressed by Guan Hu, and now in this circle where the box office is king, if you dare to say such a thing, you are gentlemen!

After watching Lao Cannon, I didn't understand many plots very well, especially why did the sixth master have to die in the end?

During this period of contact, I slowly understood that as the old saying goes, death is great, as long as the other party dies, everyone puts down their knives and guns, and the other party wins.

Guan Hu drank high, lit a cigar, and continued: "When I was a child, I lived in Houhai Mao'er Hutong, the primary school was in Mao'er Hutong Primary School, and the middle school was in Gulou West Street No. 23 Middle School. It's common to go out to fight with buddies after school between classes. ”

"At that time, anyone who didn't fight felt ashamed, but unfortunately at that time, no one could beat the thin and tall strips, basically being beaten everywhere, being kicked in circles, and having had enough. ”

"Such a cityscape, with the aggrieved little people in the middle or at the bottom as the theme, is actually telling a story about dignity. Now the most ordinary little person lives without dignity, and when he is trampled, the little person fights back with a strength that exceeds many times his life, which is particularly worthy of praise as a human being, and it is a particularly bloody thing. ”

"Of course, it's normal to get a few small fresh meat to absorb traffic now, and it's impossible for people to do it to the market, aren't they? These are not some of the most important things, my ambition is that the character of the sixth master can be remembered by everyone. ”

"This year, I want to make a work that the audience likes and that I am satisfied with......"

"It's hard!"

"That's right!" Xu Wenzheng slapped the table, his face flushed and said, "Come, go again!"

Three people, two catties of liquor, the atmosphere is getting more and more hilarious. Guan Hu leaned on the back of his chair, pointed to the script in front of Ding Cheng and said: "Our old man came out of Yimeng Mountain, and there were 102 people in the village next to him, and the Japanese army of the entire company surrounded him in 1941. ”

"The 102 people in the whole village began to dry them with potatoes, which is equivalent to the death of the uncle and the aunt to continue, until the Japanese army walks around every time, you are bloody!"

"No matter how good you mix now, the end of the hero is a poignant, because an era will eventually pass, and a new era will come. ”

"There's nothing to regret about the general trend, I'm obsessed with whether the qualities of people in that era can be passed on? ”

"I started to have a house and a car, money became more and more important to me, and I was not as righteous as before, and then I was not so indomitable to girls, and my filial piety to my parents was also declining......"

"I always feel that something is wrong, but in the face of life, you can only lie down obediently, spread your legs, and wait with a smile on your face......"

"Only movies, as a director, you have the right to speak, and you can take out the qualities that you should have for today's rapid development. Let's calm down, if it can be discussed and picked up, it will be meaningful. If you really want to stay as a culture, I think it's a very virtuous thing, and this life has not been in vain. ”
