Chapter 1156 My Standards

Zhang Luofu's roommate stood up and asked excitedly: "Hello Mr. Jiang, I am from the directing department, and the question I want to ask you is, what is the standard of a good work in your mind?" ”

Jiang Xia replied: "Your question is too simple, I remember a long time ago, I seemed to have answered a similar question, I forgot how to answer it. Let me say it again, the standard of my good work is actually very simple, and the audience likes it. On this issue, I will say a few more words, maybe it is not the same as what your teacher taught, you can listen to it, if it can inspire you a little, it is also a good thing. If you look at my work, you will find that basically, the movies I make are all commercial films. ”

When he said this, everyone nodded.

"I'm not a box office person, but I do care about the box office. Because the box office, to a large extent, can reflect the popularity of a work, but also reflect the audience's preferences. Movies are called art, and I am very opposed to this argument, my basic knowledge is not enough, and I can't systematically prove that I can write a paper to refute it, and I think that movies are ordinary forms of entertainment. ”

"To reflect the humanities and record the society of the film, I admire those filmmakers, I admire their noble ideas, but I am a layman, I can't understand their thoughts, really. When I make movies, I just entertain the public, and to entertain the public, I have to look at the market, and the market is the box office of the audience. ”

"A good movie may not have a good box office, but a movie without a good box office must be a bad movie, that's my opinion. ”

"The market and awards are things that many directors care about, and I used to care about this matter, so I filmed the dark war at the beginning, just to win the award, and fortunately, I got it. After the dark war, I also began to think about what kind of movie I should make, and finally I chose a movie that would win a high box office. ”

"Because I figured it out, there is no conflict between a high box office and multiple awards, and a movie that can win a high box office may not be able to win more awards. It's not necessarily a good movie. I think the movies I made are quite classic. There are more audiences, and there are some awards. On the contrary, there are some literary films, I'm sorry, I think many people haven't heard of them, and the works that are not known are of little significance. ”

"If it's idealism, it's feelings, I don't have anything to say, I admire. That's what I want to say about good work, my personal opinion. ”

After answering, everyone gave a round of applause.

There was a lot of applause, but some teachers and professors pouted, very unhappy with Jiang Xia's utilitarian thoughts.

Jiang Xia pointed to a little girl again.

"Hello Director Jiang, I would like to ask you what your next work plan is, whether you will continue to shoot films abroad, or return to China to create new works? Thank you. ”

Jiang Xia replied: "There is a plan, first of all, I will appear in a movie, a pure supporting actor, the last time I had this experience, it was when I fell 2, it was very rare." After acting in this movie, in October this year, there will be a movie that has been planned for a year to start shooting, the theme is martial arts, it is a rare martial arts movie I have made for many years, the style is not the same as my previous movies, you can look forward to it. ”

"Hello Mr. Jiang, what do you think of the current domestic environment? Thank you. ”

Jiang Xia said: "I'm not familiar with this, I haven't been in China for more than ten years, and this question is asked to the wrong person." ”

"Hello Mr. Jiang, there are many unclear places in your works, netizens have various interpretations of your works, what do you think of these interpretations? ”

Jiang Xia replied: "Everyone has a different opinion on the interpretation of the work. The same work, at different times, also has different feelings. In every work, when creating, the director has what he wants to express in it, but whether this thing can be read or not, this is not the director's decision, it is the person who watches the movie. Your feelings belong to you, not to the creator. It's the same with songs, some people say that when you listen to a song, you suddenly understand it, do you understand it? Maybe not, it's you who understand yourself. ”

"Everybody ends up talking to themselves, not anyone else. ”

This answer received another round of applause.

Jiang Xia said: "The time is almost up, one last question. On the second floor, the girl in red, you can ask. ”

"Hello Director Jiang, thank you for giving me the opportunity to ask the last question, my question is, can you systematically evaluate yourself and your work? ”

Jiang Xia said: "Your question is so difficult to answer. There are so many works, how do you evaluate them? Let me briefly say that I heard that in one of your subjects, my works are divided into three stages, namely the Hengying period, the Qianqiu Film period, and the foreign period. I was also given a foreign work with the highest honors. Actually, let me say that the honor is about the same. Domestic films are created works that conform to domestic productions, and foreign films are also films that conform to foreign countries. The way is different, the values are different. Every environment is different. ”

"In terms of evaluation, there are good and bad, and it is more restricted in foreign countries, because it is necessary to maintain a high standard, not like in China, and can be more free. That's right, domestic creation is freer, I didn't expect me to say that, right? This is the truth, when the directors here start to create, they will find that it is a very helpless thing to obey capital. ”

"It's so simple to evaluate the work, it's really hard to evaluate. And then let me systematically evaluate myself? This comparison is simple, I am a man with a bad temper, average character, and low moral standards. If you want to be specific, you won't talk about it, right? Self-evaluation, it's weird. I have said a lot today, and I hope that some of the things I have said today will have some beneficial impact on some of your future decisions. I hope that there will be more winners of world-class awards such as the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards, so that Chinese culture will be exported to the world, so that China will also stand at the top of the world in terms of culture and entertainment. Thank you. ”

Jiang Xia bowed and thanked him.

The audience stood up and applauded and thanked Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia's "report" is obviously unqualified, but no one thinks he is unqualified, a world-class superstar, a superstar who never accepts any interviews, standing on the stage, saying so many things about the film and actors, answering so many questions, including personal questions, which is very admirable.

The applause continued for a long time, and it did not stop until the headmaster came up.
