Chapter 604: Because I Like It
Chapter 604 Because I like it
Hating people and laughing at others is the norm in human nature, and it is also a deformed mentality.
The box office of "Hero" has made many peers go crazy, and this madness has nothing to do with the quality of the movie itself, just pure jealousy.
The film industry, which has been silent for so many years, suddenly appeared a movie that broke the norm, and the normal mentality of peers should not be to pay attention to how the box office of the film is, but the problem of the film itself, and summarize experience to make progress together.
But since the box office soaring of "Hero", everyone has been singing that this is an out-and-out bad movie, and the attack is nothing more than ideology and commercialization of large-scale productions.
No one pays attention to the film's editing, costumes, details, and the content of the script, which in itself is a pathological attack from a subjective perspective.
And behind this pathology, the reason why those people are extremely united exposes the erosion and lack of progress in the entire film and television industry, as well as the red eye for interests.
But these are all social problems, and there are many problems involved, but in the Beijing Film Academy, which is known as the three major film and television palaces in China, these students are concerned about these issues related to interests, and no one pays attention to the problems of film and performance itself, which can only show that the erosion in society has been infected to the school.
The school, which was originally designed to cultivate acting and directing arts, has become a place to deliver goods for Vanity Fair, which is what Wang Yao feels the saddest thing about.
If even the school becomes a place where only fame and fortune are talked about, and professional duties are not discussed, then what kind of disaster will it be for a country?
Those who denounce "Hero" as a vulgar commercial film are themselves the culprits who have caused the Chinese entertainment industry to become Vanity Fair, and they dare to attack "Hero" from the highest point of morality.
It can only show that the bad guys seem to be too bad.
Since modern times, soft culture is no longer exported by literature as the main carrier, but from literature and art, so literary and artistic workers bear the cultural output and the sense of social responsibility of public figures.
The first foundation of literary and artistic workers is professional skills and providing services to the public, but now it seems that all literary and artistic workers choose their professions for fame and fortune.
The end determines the means.
When a literary and artistic worker serves as a public figure for the purpose of fame and fortune, then all his choices are based on fame and fortune, that is, a puppet of capital, a commodity sold to the public.
It doesn't matter if the purpose of capital is good or bad.
The influence of a public figure can be imagined, especially for teenagers, under such a vicious circle, not to mention moral issues, even the profession has become problematic, so Wang Yao is very disappointed.
Looking at the angry or ashamed faces in the audience, they will have actors, directors, and screenwriters who will influence the youth of the country and even the people of the whole country in the future.
"I went to an art school, so I had the cheekiness to call out to my peers. Wang Yao smiled, "During the school period, our study is to practice basic skills, and then take some cultural classes, I don't know much about college, because I haven't been to college, by the way, I am an alumnus of Zhou Gongzi." ”
"The three of you just asked me three questions, the first one is about my personal information, the second is about my achievements, and the third is about the evaluation of other film works, none of the three questions are related to the two performances just now, which makes me a little confused, are you studying journalism or film. ”
After Wang Yao finished speaking, there was a commotion again in the background, because they all heard that Wang Yao was teaching them a lesson, but the school teacher suddenly glanced at Wang Yaogao.
"Let's not say that you deviate seriously, first of all, you don't have basic respect for the performers and the stage just now, to be honest, I'm a little surprised, and a little disappointed, if the students who love acting don't pay the most attention to performance, then what's wrong?" Wang Yao chuckled and asked, no one dared to look at him under his gaze.
"No matter how good or bad the performance is, as long as it is a heartfelt performance, then it should be worthy of respect, I am just the audience of this performance, even if I come up to make a comment, it is also on behalf of the audience, the principal asked you to ask questions, not to let you know who I am and what I have done, but to let you ask me about this performance or my opinions related to the performance. Wang Yao tilted his head slightly, "But I care so much about my identity and my works, so what is the original intention behind asking these questions?"
Wang Yao took two steps forward, and his voice was heavy, "It's fame and fortune, it's gossip." ”
There was a gasp from the audience.
"You're concerned about how to succeed, how to succeed, because you think I'm so young, I must have some trick or secret, right? Wang Yao sneered lightly, "But does my success have anything to do with you? Should this be something you should be concerned about as film and television students?"
Wang Yao asked two questions, which exploded in the ears of his classmates like thunder.
They really cared about how Wang Yao succeeded at this age, so much so that they were a little jealous.
"Yesterday we chatted with Director Xie Jin, the old gentleman is almost 90 years old and still does not forget to fight for the film industry, I hope we will cultivate a new generation of talents, develop Chinese films well, and go abroad. Wang Yao smiled, "But today, when I see you students who only focus on fame and fortune, I feel cold for the old gentleman." ”
After saying that, many people lowered their heads.
"If all of you take fame and fortune as the goal to study in the film and television industry, then I can only say that it is not your fault that Chinese films deserve to be stagnant for ten years, it should be that the school did not teach you well, only taught you technology, and did not teach you what your professional duty is. Wang Yao said in a deep voice.
If practitioners in an industry do not keep their duties, then it is normal for the industry to go downhill, Zhang Yiyan and others on stage all the topics are around the problem of the performance just now, to give suggestions and evaluations to the students, this is the duty of a film and television practitioner, but the students in the audience do not seem to care about the performance, they care about the success of these famous actors and directors, they do not understand the principal's mouth' of 'teaching experience', what kind of experience is being taught.
This is very disappointed by Wang Yao, he thought that in this industry, it should be the school full of ideals and dreams.
"But teacher, is it wrong to be greedy for fame and profit?" a somewhat nasal female voice came from the microphone.
Everyone looked at the girl holding the microphone in the front row in surprise.
The girl has a pair of beautiful big eyes, bangs, and a little foxy, and looks very youthful and looks fifteen or sixteen years old.
"That's right. Wang Yao was a little surprised, and said with a smile, "If it weren't for the violation of the law and the harm to society, what is the pursuit of personal choice, there is no right or wrong, but who told you that the film and television performance industry is for fame and fortune?"
The girl was asked.
"Director Zhang, why are you filming?" Wang Yao turned his head and asked.
"Because I like it. Zhang Yiyan replied without hesitation.
"What do you like?" Wang Yao continued.
"I like filming. Zhang Yiyan replied.
"What about Director Chen?" asked Wang Yao.
"Like. Chen Kaige replied.
"Director Jiang?" said Wang Yao.
"I was born to make movies. Jiang Xiaojun said with a smile.
"What about Director Feng?" asked Wang Yao.
"Like. Feng Xiaogang said.
"Brother Chen?" Wang Yao asked Chen Zhiming.
"Nothing else, good bite. Chen Zhiming smiled.
"Hey, don't talk about me, I want to say that I'm for fame and profit, others will definitely not believe me, you see me looking at this poor and sour appearance, if it weren't for liking, who would be able to ask me to film?" Uncle Ge didn't wait for Wang Yao to ask, and laughed at himself in a witty tone.
But there was no laughter from the audience.
"If you're in it for fame and fortune, you shouldn't choose this major because it's wrong. Wang Yao turned to the girl and said, "Because this major will not teach you how to make a name for yourself, it will only teach you what acting, understand?"
The girl stared at Wang Yao with red eyes, seemingly unconvinced, but she didn't know how to justify.
"What is right and wrong? The purpose is not pure, the purpose is not right, it is wrong, it is wrong not to complete one's job, and it is wrong to think that the film and television performance industry is Vanity Fair. Wang Yao's words are heart-wrenching.
The atmosphere of the venue was unusually solemn.
Wang Yao changed his words and chuckled, "Don't you want to ask how I succeeded? This is how I succeeded, do my duty, the purpose is pure, and leave the rest to God." ”
After Wang Yao finished speaking, no one in the audience applauded, the principal of the school who applauded first, followed by the teacher on the stage.
"Today, it will be the most important moment in your life, think about it carefully, what are you coming to the Beijing Film Academy for. The old principal said meaningfully to the students in the audience.
Wang Yao and other directors went backstage to give another guidance to Huang Lei, Zhang Ziyi and the actors, about the next performance.
The school's leaders smashed the front to evacuate the students.
Wang Yao's words on the stage just now made Jia Nailiang and others very admired, so they were very serious when listening to Wang Yao's guidance, and by the time the guidance was over, it was already six o'clock in the evening.
"It's not too early, so let's leave it at that, and after the official performance, I'm summarizing other issues. Wang Yao saw that it was late, got up and said.
"Thank you, teacher. The students bowed en masse.
Wang Yao was stunned, a little embarrassed, "Let's go to dinner together, I'll have a treat." ”
"Let's go to Songheju, I heard that you have taken it down, the last time I went to eat, it was two years ago, and I really can't solve it if I want to eat a meal at his house. Chen Kaige said with a smile.
Songheju is an old shop in Beijing, the owner of private dishes is the old man of the former dynasty, mastering a lot of royal secret recipes, and Mr. Wang Shixiang is a good friend, after Mr. Wang Shixiang joined the Guangfu Group, some famous private dishes in the capital have been included in the command.
"Okay, but we can't eat the master's dishes, so we have to book a month in advance. Wang Yao smiled.
Everyone walked outside the stage with laughter and laughter, and when they got out of the performance hall, they found a small figure squatting in the corridor.
Wang Yao glanced at it and saw that it was the girl who had just shouted to him that she wanted to pursue fame and fortune.
The girl saw Wang Yao and the others coming out, and got up from the ground, but maybe because she had been squatting for too long, her legs were a little disobedient and almost fell.
