"After talking about Xiangjiang, let's talk about Treasure Island. ”

When they digested a little of their words, Yin Jun brought up another topic.

A group of students, including Chen Daomin and Chen Baowei, who had already gone to work, immediately looked at him with adoring eyes.

It's worthy of being a handsome young man, it's too good!

The word treasure island is still a taboo in the mainland, but I didn't expect Yin Jun to say it as if he was eating and drinking, and he had to discuss the movies and TV series of Treasure Island with them.

Obviously, young people are all the same, they are all a bit rebellious, and the more you tell them not to do anything, the more they will want to take the plunge.

Although Treasure Island is not discussed on weekdays, they will always think about the affairs of Treasure Island, thinking about what is going on there, how the compatriots on the other side of the strait are doing, and what kind of life they will have.

Of course, they are not ignorant, in fact, many Treasure Island artists have quietly moved to other places and come to China.

There are also artists who have gone overseas, and when they meet people from Treasure Island, they will also talk about it, and then bring the news back to China.

The students of these film and television schools are naturally the first group of people to receive information, but after all, they only have a vague understanding, and they are not clear at all.

Now that Yin Jun wants to talk to them seriously, of course they are very interested.

"The literary and artistic model of Treasure Island may be more in line with your concepts. Yin Jun said, "I have watched a lot of TV series and movies on Treasure Island, maybe because of the overall style, they are all a little soft...... To put it bluntly, it is a literary and artistic life. Their attitude towards film and television culture is the same, with art as the pursuit.

Wait until later...... Well, in three or five years at most, you will be able to see the books, TV series and movies written by a group of creators on the island. Compared with the commercial literature and art of Xiangjiang, they prefer to dissect people's hearts, dig deeper into some deep arts, and discuss various spiritual levels.

There are many such movies and TV series, and I appreciate some of them. But it's a pity to say that such movies and TV series, except for the love story written by Miss Qiong Yao, are not popular in the local area of Baodao, so the film and TV series market in Baodao is actually occupied by Xiangjiang's works.

Perhaps you are now asking, why is this? Why is it that every literary film, a film that explores the human heart and human nature, and a film and television series that exposes ugliness and praises beauty, are not as good as those commercial films and television dramas that are playful and fun? Is art like this with no way out? Is it doomed to lose only to vulgarity?"

These are exactly what this group of students or fledgling literary and art workers want to ask, and they are confused in their hearts.

"Actually, it's not like that, the line between vulgarity and art is not very clear. Yin Jun said, "Let's use an analogy...... In the eyes of literary and art workers, this story is purely made up, there are no warrior monks of Shaolin Temple at all, and no such thing has happened in history. The so-called martial arts or something, it's all nonsense, it doesn't make any sense at all, it's actually kitsch!

But in the eyes of the common people? "Shaolin Temple" is good-looking! It's really good-looking! The son of a good man finally avenged his father's murder through his own efforts by practicing martial arts in Shaolin Temple, justice has finally triumphed over evil, and humanity has finally been maintained! In addition, the fighting scenes are wonderful, which makes people feel like their blood is boiling, and this is even better!

After a pause, Yin Jun looked at them, "If you let the people say that a movie like "Shaolin Temple" actually expresses art to them, shows art, and conveys a series of meanings. So you have to transform the artistic understanding of literary and artistic workers into the common people's, so that they must agree with your point of view, and if you don't agree that it is vulgar, all vulgar, isn't this a bit too much?

In everyone's heart, there is their own standard. Just like all of you, if you think it's a classic film, if the common people don't think it's art, then art isn't art? No, it's not! So what is art and what is vulgar is different from person to person. Different personal views mean different standards, so the definitions of vulgarity and art are naturally different.

Some artists will feel that they are too high and low, and those laymen are too vulgar to understand the art they make! But you don't want to think about it, this is just the art you think, why should others identify with the art you think? You have made movies and TV series, and you think that it is good to meet your own artistic standards, why should you chase others to agree with your art?

If you want to impress others, that's fine, you can shoot the kind of art and that kind of standard in other people's hearts, won't you be able to get their approval and appreciation? So you can see that some people not only look down on ordinary people, but also want to force ordinary people to identify with themselves, and if they don't identify themselves as vulgar people, this is not called an artist, this is called a delusional person!

is still the original sentence of Mr. Zhou at the 61 Literary and Art Symposium, the people like to hear it, if you don't like it, how old are you?...... That's right? That's what I'm saying! Art is all about serving life and the people who see art. Play by yourself, no one will care about you. But if you shoot something that the masses don't like to see, but you still scold the masses for not knowing the goods, such a person, should we also ask him, how old are you?"

Yin Jun's words were not ordinarily sharp, and they simply made the people present gasp constantly when they heard it, and their faces kept changing.

They never thought that someone could dissect the matter of art so thoroughly and so straightforwardly.

Maybe many of them don't agree with Yin Jun's words, but there is too much content and too much impact in it, which makes them feel refreshed and even drunk.

They didn't dare to look down on Yin Jun in the first place, in fact, they all respected Yin Jun for achieving so much.

Now, their admiration for Yin Jun has gone from their eyes to their hearts.

The person who can utter such a cry should be an old professor with gray hair, not a teenager younger than them.

Talented......

The name of genius is indeed worthy of its name, which is admirable!

"Some literary and artistic workers on Treasure Island are now in the state I am talking about. But instead of looking for their own reasons, they vent on the audience. But the audience ignores them, and the audience votes with their own senses and how they feel, so it is our movies and TV series in Xiangjiang that have been recognized by them. Yin Jun said, "There is no such situation in China now, but you wait and see, in a few years, artists like I said will appear one after another." ”

"Is such a person really bad?" Chen Baowei suddenly asked.

"We can't simply say whether they are good or not, but whether their behavior is of practical use, whether it is useful to the people and to art. Yin Jun said, "I still have the same point of view just now." If you just want to express your wishes and pursuits, then you can shoot a work that you like, and that's enough. If you have to impose your will on others, and if you don't get the approval of others, you have to scold people, then what's the point? If you want to get the approval of others, then you can shoot what they like! Let the people be happy, that is definitely not kitsch, but the vocation of an art creator! If you can only scold the street and only talk about things with art, I look down on this kind of person. ”

Nodding, Chen Baowei thoughtfully.

Looking at everyone whose faces had become a little solemn, Yin Jun smiled, "Okay, let me finally talk to you about the United States! You all know that I have bought two film companies in the United States, and I have a little understanding of American film and television drama art." ”

Compared with the forbidden treasure island, the United States is a paradise in the eyes of the Chinese people.

Countless people do not hesitate to give up their good jobs and good futures, and rush to the United States, thinking that it is a fairyland on earth, full of gold mountains, with everything they want.

Fortunately, many celebrities who have become famous in recent years have not cherished their star status, and they have also followed the tide to go abroad.

Therefore, when Yin Jun talked about the United States, all of them lit up, and they all put aside the doubts in their hearts for the time being.

"Compared with the excessive commercialization of Hong Kong, in fact, the art mechanism of the United States is still relatively perfect. "Decades ago, they were able to create artistic classics such as "Gone with the Wind" and "Broken Blue Bridge", as well as commercial blockbusters such as "Superman", "Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark". ”

"And your ".", which is also a classic of the coexistence of art and commerce!" Lu Liping roared boldly.

Yin Jun smiled, "Thank you." I feel like I can do better in the future. ”

Everyone laughed, and with this little episode, the atmosphere became more relaxed.

"In the United States, art films cannot be said to be niche, such as movies like "Gone with the Wind" and "Broken Blue Bridge", they can also achieve box office success, this is what Lu said about the classic of the coexistence of art and business, and it can be regarded as fame and fortune!" Yin Jun said, "Some students may ask, didn't you say that art and vulgarity are two sides of the same thing? Why do ordinary people in the United States understand their art so much in tune with their artists?"

There are three aspects to this matter. First, the Americans do not appreciate all art films, and many American literary and artistic films do not do so well at the box office, precisely because those directors do not understand the needs of the American people; second, those art films with good box office take into account both art and people's most simple feelings, so they are successful, but there are very few such films, so they are precious.

The third and most important point is that the American people have long passed the stage of food and clothing and have entered a higher level of pursuit, so their understanding of art is completely different from that of our Chinese people. Therefore, when a certain level is one or two levels higher than what we ordinary people can understand, it happens to meet their level, so it resonates. ”

"I see, that's what you said, art and vulgarity vary from person to person! Americans, Chinese people have high quality, so they can understand a little more, and our side has low quality, so they can understand a little less. Jiang Wen slapped his face and said excitedly.

A group of people stared at him in silence.

You kid understand, don't say it, it's not good, how hurtful it is!?
