Chapter 155: Speech (continued)
"Yang Ming, you are completely nonsense, ridiculous, and simply a lie, I want to expel you on behalf of the Film Academy!" Cao Heyi stretched out his hand and pointed at Yang Ming and roared angrily.
Cao Heyi's speech drew boos from all the students present, and even a few bold and active students deliberately said loudly: "Teacher Cao, we don't want to be represented!"
In the noise, I don't know which student said this sentence, which caused other people to laugh, Cao Heyi was angry, his hands trembled, and he looked at the students around him viciously!
"Teacher Cao, I have never been convicted for my words, and I have not slandered anyone, on what grounds did you expel me from the academy? Do you want to learn the literary prison of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Kangqian era?" Yang Ming looked at Cao Heyi with a cold gaze, he hated this kind of struggle to put his hat on someone's head at every turn!
And Cao Heyi's behavior of thinking that he can stand on the moral high ground and can do nothing to others deeply makes Yang Ming feel disgusted and despised!
After Yang Ming said this, he didn't pay attention to Cao Heyi, since he stood up today, then he said everything in his heart!
"Students, as the successors of the new era, the current situation of the film industry, makes me think of the Opium War of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, closed off the country, resting on one's laurels, not daring to open the world, all foreign things, all are strange and obscene skills, students, backward will be beaten, this is the bloody experience that history gives us, we are known as the successors of the film industry in the new era, we have the responsibility to carry the banner of facing European and American films, in the face of foreign things, we go to the dross to take the essence of it, do not deny it all, do not absorb it all, we have to go out of our own way!”
"Hello Yang Ming, your speech is very good, but I want to ask, in your eyes, is it true that commercial films are good movies, and art films are bad movies?" At this time, a teacher wearing glasses stood up and asked Yang Ming.
Yang Ming glanced at the teacher, nodded to him, and expressed his respect, this teacher was not deliberately targeted, he coughed lightly, cleared his throat and said: "I found an interesting phenomenon, although foreign films are also divided into commercial and artistic, but no country is like Huaxia, where commercial films and art films are so sharply opposed!"
Hearing Yang Ming's words, all the teachers and students present pondered for a while, it was indeed the case, they couldn't help but wait more attentively for Yang Ming's next speech, Cao Heyi's face was red and white alternately, seeing Yang Ming in the limelight on the podium, he regretted for a while that he was going to target Yang Ming just now, and now he can't get off the stage.
"In the past month or so, I have also deeply considered this issue, I personally feel that it should be related to our Chinese cultural tradition of valuing agriculture and light business, in the history of China for thousands of years, the dynasties have basically been heavy on agriculture and light on business, so that there has always been a misunderstanding in the Chinese film industry, that is, making an art film can better reflect the filmmaker's artistic accomplishment, cultural level and aesthetic ability than commercial films, and can better represent the artistic level of the director himself and even the entire nation and country, and can better establish his status in the film industry. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Ming couldn't help but think that in his previous life, Kaige and Lao Zhang became popular with one or two films, and traveled all over the world, which seemed to interpret the mystery, and in this world, Huaxia also has directors like Kaige and Lao Zhang! The film pattern of Huaxia in 2000 is similar to that of the previous life, that is, the excessive pursuit of artistry, think about Feng Luoya's previous life, he made several blockbuster New Year films in a few years, but he was still not recognized by the industry, and was even called a lower riba person by many directors, from which he knew Feng Luoya's original situation!
It's just that the film pattern of China in the previous life, after experiencing the tyranny of Hollywood, the number of directors who made commercial films suddenly increased dramatically, this kind of completely commercial film, so that in the future, in order to pursue the box office, everything is done, an ordinary movie gets a pseudo-3D to get the movie theater circle money, and even foreigners learn from domestic black-hearted film companies, a Hollywood movie, all other cities in the world are 2D screenings, and in China, it is 3D!
Thinking of this strange phenomenon in the film industry in his previous life, Yang Ming couldn't help but continue: "We have to resist the kind of commercial films that are shoddy and purely for the purpose of making money, but we also don't want the kind of art films that are filmed at home and can only be understood by themselves, as for the size in the middle, it is up to the students to grasp it themselves!"
After saying this, Yang Ming didn't want to say anything more, others were soft-spoken, and he was not arrogant enough to be able to calm the dispute between commercial films and art films with his own words!
Commercial films and art films are destined to continue their struggle for a period of time, Yang Ming has no need to dwell on these, and it is not something he can manage, if it weren't for Cao Heyi forcing people too much this time and putting his face in front of him, he would not be interested in giving a speech on stage!
At this time, the students in the classroom and the teachers and students who had already gathered outside all gave thunderous applause, regardless of whether Yang Ming was telling the truth or not, but I have to admit that his remarks are indeed very wonderful and worthy of scrutiny!
"Yang Ming, if you say a few more words, you can't get enough of it!"
"I want to listen to songs!"
"I want to listen to songs too!"
"It's better to give a speech, I think it makes sense!"
Whether in the classroom or outside the classroom, it is rare to make such a sensation this time, the students refused to disperse for a while, gathered here, and wanted Yang Ming to say a few more words, it seems that Yang Ming has become a star in the hearts of all freshmen, well, a star among stars!
Cao Heyi saw Yang Ming's appearance so popular, he couldn't hold back his old face, snorted coldly, and left quietly!
Yang Ming saw Cao Heyi's departure, he didn't say anything, after all, this is a film academy, and as a student, he still has to abide by the basic rules, but at this time, the enthusiasm of the classmates in front of him makes him a little difficult to deal with!
Fortunately, Zhao Xu, who had been outside at this time, came over and said with a smile: "Okay, Yang Ming will say one more word, I also have a feeling of unfinished after listening to it!"
"Okay!" Yang Ming nodded helplessly when he saw everyone's enthusiasm, in fact, what he wanted to say was basically finished, there was really nothing more to say!
Suddenly, Yang Ming's eyes lit up, and he thought of a sentence said by a famous person who existed in his previous life and in this life, so he said: "Mr. Sun Guanhan often uses an example to talk about things: that is, there is a ball, half white, half black, and the person who sees the white half says that it is a white ball. The people on the other side said that it was a black ball, and they were not wrong, but they did not run to the other side to see it. And the idea of running to the other side to see what is going on requires imagination and thinking. So when we think about the problem, it should be multifaceted, not vague and muddy. ”
"Okay, thank you!" After saying this, Yang Ming bowed to everyone, and then squeezed out of the crowd and left!
Yang Ming's remarks quickly spread throughout the entire Yenching Film Academy and set off a lot of waves!
