There is a homework course in the acting department called "Film Appreciation", which is dedicated to showing some domestic and foreign films, not necessarily business cards, but those that the teacher thinks are of viewing value, and then ask the students to discuss or write about their impressions.

They have seen most of the films of the fifth-generation directors and the sixth-generation directors, no matter what they can't help it, for internal teaching, no one can care if they don't pass it on!

Chen Dong has watched several of Zhang Yuan's banned films, including "Coming Home for the New Year"...

Compared with "Coming Home for the New Year", the script of "I Love You" is simply a bit inexplicable, the male protagonist is arrogant, the heroine is suspicious and cautious, and even a little neurotic...

tied up her husband with all kinds of flowers, and by the way, forced him to say 'I love you' with a kitchen knife...

You can see the full sickness through the book...

Chen Dong doesn't like such movies, but it's a pity that he doesn't have a choice.

……

Our film system follows the former Soviet Union, and the narrative techniques of the fifth generation of directors are obviously greatly influenced by the former Soviet Union, and the dramatic temperament is relatively heavy, such as the earliest "One and Eight", "Yellow Earth" and "Red Sorghum", the Trinity is obvious (one of the Western drama structures), and there are many pictures of group exercises, which are difficult to see in real life, but have their unique stage charm.

By the sixth generation of directors, they can't do that anymore.

On the one hand, there is no money to shoot big scenes, and on the other hand, the Soviet Union collapsed, and everyone thinks that things in the USSR are not good...

They're more focused on the individual, or they want to take a different approach and shoot some marginal people...

Most of the techniques used are documentary, so it's cheaper to shoot like this...

This is also the reason why they are not well received by the official and the general public.

The official has an iron evaluation standard for movies, which is "grand narrative".

The so-called grand narrative is simply understood as 'nation, country, big history...'

The folk standard for movies is just three words: popularization!

It's hard to find common ground in the stories of marginalized people.

In a sense, the difference between official and private opinions is not too far apart.

The propaganda of the Third Reich famously said: "Propaganda has only one goal: to conquer the masses." All the means that serve this end are good. ”

From this point of view, it is too normal for the sixth generation to be disliked by ordinary Chinese people.

As for why their works won awards at Western film festivals?

In a general sense, it is believed that Western film festivals have a curious orientation for Chinese films, and there is a cruel orientation, and it is difficult for films that are truly life-oriented and humane to enter their eyes.

There is only "The Wedding Banquet" as an exception, and that is because Lao Mouzi is the chairman of the jury.

……

There are many producers of "I Love You", Xi'an Film Studio, Beijing Gem Film Investment Co., Ltd., Beijing Peking University Huayi Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd...

The latter two are mainly responsible for paying money, and the West Film Studio is responsible for the administration.

The chairman of Gem Pictures is Shi Xue, yes, the No. 1 financial criminal in China.

They have Lu Yi, Ren Quan, Qiao Zhenyu and Tong Dawei.

This guy is really kind to his actors, he is extremely generous, Tong Dawei has just signed into Jewel Pictures, Shi Xue saw that he had no means of transportation, and waved a Grand Cherokee worth more than 800,000 yuan!

The master's famous work, "The Son of Heaven" is also invested by Gem Pictures, and even invited a famous Taoist teacher to help with the play!

This is also the main reason why Tong Dawei can serve as the male number one in "I Love You"...

Even if Shi Xue is in prison, the stars have not forgotten him, in 2005, Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, Lu Yi, Mao Twist and others participated in a social love party called "Tomorrow Will Be Better" in Haikou Prison, which is the only social activity in the career of a group of popular artists to encourage inmates to reform well - Shi Xue is in Haikou Prison...

As for Huayi, Xu Jinglei's several dramas are all done by them, and the current chairman of Huayi Film and Television is Dong Ping.

And the screenwriter of this play is Wang Shuo.

It's all in context!

Fortunately, Director Zhang Yuan is famous, and the hero and heroine did not make a big name in the matter, and the shooting went very smoothly...

According to the agreed time, Chen Dong arrived on the set.

The filming location is in the suburbs of Beijing, according to Zhang Yuan's original words: this is an urban romance film.

Tsk, sick love!

There was no time to complain, Chen Dong was taken into the dressing room and changed into a costume according to the makeup artist's requirements...

“… Don't you have to wear makeup?"

"There's no need, the director asked for no makeup... You have such good skin, you don't need to wear makeup, do you?"

The makeup artist is called Qiu Yihua, and he also serves as the styling and costume design of the movie...

"Okay, do you have a script? I'll see when my play is?"

“… The script is useless, it depends on the director's meaning!"

Even for the first work, "Bitter Cauliflower", the production department will make strict scene notes, and the director will shoot according to the scene notes...

The assistant director Zhang Lei, who was standing next to him, smiled: "Director Zhang filmed quite smoothly, and you only have three scenes..."

“… Okay, then I'll go and see them filming?"

Once the movie is filmed, the assistant director of the crew is like a personal mother, and if the actor has any problems, he can be found.

He is also the bridge between the director and the actors...

On the set, Tong Dawei was tearing up with Xu Jinglei...

Tearing her heart out, Xu Jinglei cried and shouted: "Why don't you bother to find me, you actually slept first?"

"Don't you care about me?"

"Do you have other women outside?"

Listening to the lines, it should be the first time that the two have been torn apart after marriage, Du Xiaoju wanted to verify Wang Yi's feelings for her by running away from home, but unfortunately, the latter didn't chase it out at all...

The next day, Wang Yi apologized, and then Du Xiaoju spilled.

Chen Dong watched it a little painfully...

……

Zhang Yuan filmed very quickly, he didn't like to communicate with the actors, and would rather shoot a few more materials...

His debut film "Mom" was filmed in 26 days, and after the transformation, "Coming Home for the New Year" was only filmed in 32 days.

"East Palace and West Palace" is even more hanging, and the filming will end in 18 days!

This is probably a common problem for advertising directors to transform film directors.

"Ahh

After only standing for ten minutes, Chen Dong sneezed again and again...

No way, Beijing at the end of February was still a little chilly, but he didn't wear much.

According to the requirements of this drama, he must pass on autumn clothes...

Wiping his nose, Chen Dong, who was dressed in overalls, sat down, and next to him sat Tong Dawei...

The two didn't communicate much, so they got to know each other when they were in the play, Tong Dawei had to shoot more than 20 shows a day, and the whole person was completely living in the role...

“Action！”

Photographer Liu Baosheng's lens is aimed at the two...

"We're going to get married!"

"Are you alright? Young man, what's the hurry?"

"What you are saying is that in this life, people should do whatever they want. You see, I can't do anything big now, I just got married and had children..."

Tong Dawei didn't speak, staring at the mineral water in his hand, not knowing what to think...

Chen Dong continued to say the lines: "I just think that as long as the two of them are good, they can stay for a day..."

"Click, next!"

Zhang Yuan stood up from the director's chair and commanded by the way: "Hurry up, are the dining tables and swimming pools ready?"

The props team's reply: "It's over!"

"Okay, let's shoot right away..."

My day, three plays, the end of the day?

This... That's it?

"By the way, Xiao Chen, I added a scene to you, can you play the bed scene?"

"Huh?"
