Chapter 432: Self-written, self-directed, and self-acted?
The marketization of the film is the inevitable result, with the development of the domestic economy is getting better and better, the film market has also begun to be valued, the prosperity of the economy will inevitably lead to the prosperity of the cultural market, and Xiangjiang signed a cooperation agreement, the development of the domestic film market is a planned thing, which with the implementation of the policy step by step, everyone knows this trend.
For the sixth generation of directors, this result can be regarded as a bittersweet one, the film market is large, and it will be much easier for them to attract investment, but at the same time, their influence will inevitably be impacted with the prosperity of the film market, and the most important thing is that they will inevitably receive "Zhao'an".
Whether it is the fifth generation of directors or the sixth generation of directors, their relationship with the above is almost very subtle, whether it is "Zhao'an" or a compromise, carefully observe everyone's road to fame, basically making literary films, winning awards, being banned, and lifting the ban.
In the past, the reason why their films were so influential was that the film market was deformed, and there were very few commercial films.
From the eighties and nineties to the film market, there are almost all literary and artistic films, one is the poverty of entertainment activities, and the other is that after the baptism of a special era, people's love for various literary and artistic works has almost become an obsession, it can be said that in that era, it is an era that pays attention to the depth of thought and pays attention to art, whether it is literary works or movies, a large number of excellent works were born in the way of a hundred flowers.
In terms of artistic achievements, the works created by these outstanding filmmakers are the most commendable, but when art films are facing domestic audiences, it is inevitable that they will be high and low, and there is really no possibility for the cultivation and development of the market.
Jia Zhangke is actually very tired, since he shot his first short film in 1995, his life has always maintained the same rhythm, writing scripts, watching scenes, looking for actors, building a group, shooting, exhibiting exhibitions, almost every movie has to play with it, and every time he is tired, this kind of day does not even see the end.
He also hopes that his film can be released, but in addition to all kinds of censorship, he also needs to do all kinds of castration of his works, he really can't make such a choice, after all these years, he is basically desperate for whether it can be released.
"That's fine, at least I can make a film, whether it can be released in China or not, at least if I can make it, it will be considered a success. Jia Zhangke drank several bottles of wine, and after chatting with Zhou Bai about a lot of topics unrelated to the movie, after a period of silence, he finally couldn't help but speak, his lowered eyebrows and bitter expression and tone, there was a kind of dazed powerlessness.
Jia Zhangke actually has a knot, he really hopes that his movie can be released, but he really doesn't want to do self-castration, in several movies, even if the movie style is gloomy, there is really no plot that exists for smearing, it is completely just in line with the real characters, and even some of them have been abandoned and still can't pass the censorship.
Jia Zhangke's previous films all focused on the stories of small people, even his own stories.
"In fact, it is good for all of us to change the way we get along in the past, and they also know that you are indispensable, don't look at every time you deal with it, you have to search your intestines and think about how to suppress the influence, but if you are really gone, they may not be able to go well, there are always all kinds of bad things. Zhou Bai sighed, he could understand the depression in Lao Jia's heart, but there was really no right or wrong in this kind of thing, he just wanted a beautiful picture of flowers, and for artists, the real land under the flowers was the source of their art.
"What you said, if it weren't for us disobedient Diao people, the above would wake up laughing even if they were dreaming, don't talk about this, what have you been busy with lately? Yuan Xiangyi was injured, how do you feel that you want to be a full-time family cook? Really stop filming?" Jia Zhangke said with a wry smile and changed the subject.
"No, it's just a period of rest, I wrote two books, I promised Zhou Gongzi and Chen Kun to cooperate with them, and it took two months to finalize the book, can you help me take a look and give some advice?" Zhou Bai said with a sip of beer.
"Yo, what's the new work? You hid it for two months and waited for the final draft to tell me, and at this time you still ask for any opinions, you're here to show off, right? Jia Zhangke became interested, and said half complaining.
"It's awkward to write in front.,A lot of plots are not satisfied.,It took a lot of time to change it.,The pattern of the two books is not big.,It's not a big production.,There's not even a big scene.,I'm basically working on the structure.,For this I also drew part of the storyboard.,It can only be grinded slowly.,You just say you don't see it.。 Zhou Bai said innocently, writing a script is really not such a simple thing, even if you get memory fragments, it is impossible to know all the details, to a large extent, it depends on himself.
"Don't, look at it, you must see it, it's not a good story you wrote once or twice, but it's a pity that it doesn't fit my style, otherwise I would like you to write a book for me." Jia Zhangke said.
took out the two movie scripts from the bag and handed them to Lao Jia, who wiped his hands with a paper towel before taking the goods, and then couldn't wait to read them.
"The book is good, but how did I find out that you always like to use these cliché endings? The details are so well written, very life-like, but the ending falls into clichés. After reading it, Lao Jia lit a cigarette and said.
"Big brother, these two of my books are going to be introduced to the market, do you think the audience will be able to stand it if I write it in a fog or arrange a cruel ending for the characters? Zhou Bai said innocently, in the current domestic film market, this is an inevitable choice.
It can be said that since the great prosperity of the domestic film market, the vast majority of domestic audiences' viewing habits have almost been cultivated by TV series, no matter what kind of movie is released, they will always expect the creator to tell him an easy-to-understand story.
This is why later directors who did not focus on narrative could not succeed in the domestic film market at all, it can be said that the viewing habits of this generation of audiences are destined to have such a result, in the final analysis, art is a thing that has an aesthetic level, and in the composition of the audience in the film market, there are many audiences who regard the movie as a large-scale TV series, and in a relatively simple sentence, it is a happy picture.
To put it bluntly, 99% of the audience who enter the movie to watch the movie do not understand the so-called artistic style and cutting techniques at all, and when discussing the quality of a movie, it is always whether the plot is good or not, whether the three views are correct or not, and no one is interested in the so-called depth.
This is not the audience's pot, because the vast majority of the world's audiences are like this, but developed countries such as Europe and the United States have long begun to pay attention to the cultivation of viewing habits of art films, and this market still maintains a strong vitality even in the face of countless commercial films, which is why they have art theaters.
"Also, this book of "Exchanging Lives", do you plan to write, direct and act by yourself?" Jia Zhangke was very keenly aware that only one of these two books was suitable for Zhou Bai, so he asked curiously. ()
