Chapter 37 The person with the highest status in the entertainment industry
However, those who will appreciate the film can further discover from the various prescribed situations provided by the film to the audience that Raz's beating himself is ostensibly a "fake fight", but in fact a "real fight".
He found an opportunity to vent his frustration with himself at an unexpected time and occasion.
Knowing this, the viewer discovers the creator's good intentions in this arrangement, and obtains another kind of aesthetic pleasure.
It's the pleasure of discovery, not just the pleasure of emotional catharsis.
Whether you watch a movie or enjoy a movie, you may get the pleasure of emotional catharsis;
As for the pleasure of discovery, it is possible only for those who can enjoy movies.
It is precisely because of this that appreciation is seen as a state of acceptance.
It gives the viewer a better sense of self than the average moviegoer, and it makes the viewer repeatedly use the practice of appreciation as a way of self-absorption.
But appreciating a film also means a deeper involvement in the film, and whether this intervention is possible depends on whether the viewer is more prepared in terms of knowledge, experience and aesthetic awareness.
His accumulation of general life experience and theoretical knowledge, his cultivation of aesthetic awareness, and his mastery of film art all directly affect his appreciation of a film.
Therefore, appreciating movies has a stronger ability to accept movies than ordinary movies.
For movies, there is not only a general difference between viewing and appreciation, but also a high and low level of appreciation.
From not knowing how to appreciate to knowing how to appreciate, from low-level appreciation to high-level appreciation, this is the process that appreciators generally have to go through to constantly overcome themselves and constantly surpass themselves.
For this reason, the practice of appreciation is necessarily more detailed in audio-visual cognition, more emotionally engaged, and more active in thinking than ordinary viewing.
This state, in turn, requires the viewer to be prepared before watching the movie, not to be swayed by the storyline during the viewing, and to pay attention to the repeated taste, pondering and thinking after watching.
Therefore, to improve the level of movie appreciation, first of all, lies in the training of this state, and in the psychological change of the inertia that ordinary moviegoers are accustomed to.
It shouldn't be laid-back or even lazy.
It shouldn't be buying a bag of melon seeds or a bag of tangerine peel plums, half lying down and half leaning, gossiping while watching.
People who really try to enjoy a movie will be in a state of tension all the time.
In addition to receiving audio-visual information, he has to constantly think, analyze, associate, speculate, and judge, and even can't breathe a sigh of relief even when he walks out of the cinema.
Consciously and consciously surpass oneself, and pay more attention to the accumulation of theoretical knowledge related to film art.
Some people may not understand the inevitable connection between theoretical knowledge and film appreciation.
However, it is precisely this connection that becomes an extremely important aspect of raising the level of film appreciation.
Watching a movie is like watching the sunrise, involving not only the eyes and ears, but also the whole mind, involving all aspects of knowledge, experience and theory.
What a person can see from a movie is directly and closely related to the knowledge, experience and theories he has accumulated.
He organizes and interprets the audiovisual information obtained in the infiltration of these knowledge, experiences and theories.
When the film is connected to the shot of a green pine after the hero's sacrifice, ordinary people see a green pine, but those who appreciate it see the hero's unyielding character and spirit.
And once the viewer has mastered the cinematic knowledge of montage metaphors, it is not difficult for him to read the meaning of a flock of pigeons flying towards the place where Shet's fall.
From this point of view, a person who wants to improve the level of film appreciation, in addition to the practice of appreciation, should pay more attention to the study of theoretical knowledge related to film art.
The mastery of theoretical knowledge is conducive to changing one's readiness to enjoy movies and transforming one's "eyes".
There is no doubt that our filmmakers are all people who can appreciate movies, and they often look at movies from the perspective of the formal norms of films, the possibilities of film art, and the means and techniques of film expression.
However, these professional theoretical knowledge are not available to us ordinary viewers.
We, the average viewer who only watch movies, treat movies very directly.
It's just whether it's good to watch a movie!
In the final analysis, movies are visual arts after all, so the most direct way to determine whether he is good or not is whether his pictures are impactful and wonderful.
So I think this is the reason why "Slaying the Dragon" can be so highly praised by the people. ”
In all fairness, this commentator's article is quite pertinent.
The appreciation of industry insiders is indeed professional, but the music is high and low, and ordinary people will not care about the artistry and connotation of the film.
As long as the film is good-looking, why bother so much?
Perhaps, this is the reason why commercial films are so popular!
……
Time has entered 11 years in a series of disturbances.
"Tangshan Earthquake", "Let the Bullets Fly" and other Chinese New Year blockbusters were released as scheduled.
However, the results have decreased compared to previous lives.
Except for a few of them that are profitable, it is good to be able to protect the capital.
In the final analysis, it is still the pot of "Slaying the Dragon".
The domestic box office of movies is so big, and "Slaying the Dragon" is very popular for various reasons, but it has also overdrawn the box office market.
After "Slaying the Dragon" was taken off the shelves, the film market ushered in a full three-month depression.
Let the Chinese New Year stalls be greatly affected.
In this regard, the domestic directors gritted their teeth and made various remarks to smear Jiang Bai.
Even Xiao Gangpao said meaningfully in an interview: "The decline in the appreciation ability of domestic audiences is, in the final analysis, that some directors with low taste are catering to the audience without a bottom line, and in the long run, it will be a cultural disaster!"
Jiang Bai did not respond to this passage, first of all, this passage did not name who it was, if he responded, wouldn't he admit that he was talking about him?
Second, he is too busy now, and it is not the film and television promotion period, how can he have the time to start a scolding war with these defeated dogs?
Besides, all these defeated dogs can do is these useless wails.
If you want to actually suppress Jiang Bai, it is simply impossible.
Not to mention that he is currently the only major director in China whose single film exceeds one billion.
With the Daoyi special effects company behind him, Jiang Bai has the confidence to speak to the four equals!
What kind of person has the highest status in the entertainment industry?
Big star?
Great director?
Chairman of a large company?
Neither!
The highest status in the entertainment industry are those who have unique resources!
