Zhang Ran has been dissatisfied with the Chinese film critics for many years, he has always thought that the elm thinking of these people is the scourge of Chinese films, but he has never found a suitable opportunity and object to spray, and now Zhu Dake, the so-called critic who Zhang Ran despises very much, has jumped out, and he finally has a target. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Sitting in front of the computer, Zhang Ran thought for two seconds, then crackled and tapped on the keyboard, turning his inner dissatisfaction into characters, and then posted it on his Weibo in the form of a long Weibo.

After Zhang Ran crackled and knocked, Zhang Jingchu directly snatched the notebook, only to see Weibo wrote: "I have always heard that there is a porcelain professional in the Chinese cultural circle, in the eighties of the last century, Xie Jin became an instant hit, since then he found that nonsense can not only cover up the fact that there is no ink in the stomach, but also improve popularity, fame and fortune, so he took porcelain as his own responsibility, and now he has become a cultural scholar."

I didn't expect to touch porcelain today to touch me, but unfortunately I am not Xie Jin, nor Zhang Yimou, but I will not let others insult me and keep silent, I don't have a good face for a porcelain toucher like Zhu. In fact, the reason why I dislike Zhu so much is not because he touched porcelain, but because this clown who jumped off the beam made Chinese movies miserable!

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the center of Chinese films was in the magic capital, and the magic city filmmakers were mainly influenced by Hollywood films, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, these filmmakers became the main force of the film studios, and the Shanghai Film Studio has also continued the classic Hollywood narrative style, and in the 80s, the Shanghai Film Studio began to learn from Hollywood again, and carried out a lot of beneficial explorations, such as shooting science fiction films;

These are two completely different paths, if everyone explores and develops separately, then Chinese films are likely to have two film centers, a commercial film center and an art film center, like American films, so as to walk on two legs.

However, in 86, Zhu Dake initiated a critique of the Xie Jin model, linking the Xie Jin model with the Hollywood model, arguing that Shanghai Film Studio was deeply influenced by American Hollywood, and its directors accepted Hollywood's cultural colonization.

In 85, the anti-bourgeois liberalization movement began in China, and Zhu Dake now says that Shanghai Film Studio and Xie Jin accept Hollywood cultural colonization, which is a political risk for Shanghai Film Studio and Xie Jin. As a result, Xie Jin began to seek transformation, and never made a masterpiece like "Furong Town", and Shanghai Film Studio gradually became a third-rate company with no creativity.

This criticism of Xie Jin ruined Xie Jin, ruined the Shanghai Film Studio, and, more importantly, ruined the most valuable wealth accumulated by generations of Chinese filmmakers -- telling stories with images; the mainstream of Chinese films turned to pursue philosophical ideas, downplay plots, oppose sharp contradictions, and emphasize the excavation of human nature, and since then Chinese films have gone further and further away from the audience. As Chinese films continued to win awards overseas, the Chinese film market collapsed rapidly, and in 94 it had to introduce Hollywood blockbusters to boost the market.

However, the irony and humiliation of history are spicy, twenty years later, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, the fifth-generation representatives who are respected by Zhu Dake and them, are now studying Hollywood in an all-round way and returning to the Xie Jin model, but they started with anti-story and anti-drama, and the most scolded by the audience in their current movies is that they can't tell stories!

Telling this matter today is not to ask Zhu Dake to be responsible for the fact that Chinese directors will not tell stories, nor is it to ask him to be responsible for the lost 20 years of Chinese films;

They like to scold commercial films when they have nothing to do, thinking that they are degenerate, Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" scolding, Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu", and Feng Xiaogang's movies are also a bunch of people scolding, as long as it is a commercial film, they have no scolding. These neurotics are doing things with Chinese movies all day long, as if they are doing good for Chinese films, but in fact they are driving Chinese audiences to Hollywood movies! Why are Chinese audiences reluctant to watch domestic films now, and why do they say garbage when they mention domestic movies? It is this garbage that harms them!

To paraphrase the Prime Minister's words, the people just like entertainment movies, if you don't like it, how old are you?"

Zhang Jingchu was stunned after reading it: "Your cannon is too big, right?"

Zhang Ran said firmly: "I have been holding these words in my heart for many years, and this time I can finally spit it out!"

Zhang Jingchu said worriedly: "But you have even scolded the entire Chinese commentatory, but I am afraid that half of the commentatory will jump out and scold you!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "There are only a few people in their critics, and standing behind me are hundreds of millions of ordinary ordinary viewers who want to watch a good movie, if these experts and professors dare to come out, they will know what the vast sea of people's war is!"

In fact, film criticism is very important to the development of a country's films, and good film reviews can discover good works that have been buried, provide technical insights, encourage and recommend good filmmakers, and can have an impact on the status and value of works of art. But the current academic film reviews in China are horribly archaic and extremely extreme, and it's almost impossible to see worthwhile reviews.

Chinese movies are bad, but Chinese film reviews are worse than movies!

Zhang Ran's Weibo has received enthusiastic support from many netizens, and in just a few minutes, it has been forwarded a thousand times, and the comments have exceeded 2,000!

"Damn, Zhang Ran actually scolded people! But the scolding is right, I firmly support it! These old immortals, who think they understand art, you ask him what art is, they wisp their beards: if it is black and white, if it is serious, it must be taken off, if it is something that the common people can't understand and only my professor can understand, in short, I say that art is art! Damn, I see that you have seen too much!"

"Zhang Ran is so right, he is most annoyed by these people with the title of professor. Zhang Ran, they worked hard to make a film, and found fun for the people, you sit in the big hug and pick bones in the eggs with your eyes closed, what kind of quality!

"What is an art film? What is an art film that is dismal at the box office and no one cares about it? The most annoying thing is that this kind of so-called expert pretends to be a gesture, thinking that he understands art. It's not that I look down on you, if you really talk about art, Mr. Zhang will dump you eight streets!"

Zhu Dake quickly responded to Zhang Ran on his blog: "Zhang Ran's criticism of my article "The Outdated Thinking of the Great Earthquake" on his Weibo was very shocking after reading it. Zhang Ran actually thought that because of my criticism, Xie Jin and Shanghai Film Studio have been in a slump since then. There is not much basis for this view. On the other hand, Shanghai Film Studio did not reflect in time during the controversy, but instead avoided medical treatment and encircled and suppressed, thinking that it would be able to suppress different voices, and as a result, it was gradually weakened from the main force of Chinese films to a third-rate company without creativity, and it still can only survive by recruiting Hong Kong and Taiwan stars and government funding. Its tragic fate is the historical epitome of the great recession of China's film industry.

What shocked me even more was Zhang Ran's abuse of me, you can disagree with my views and dislike my articles, but you can't use such crude and vulgar words as "stupid" and "neurotic"; this is not literary criticism, these words have been suspected of personal insults and personal attacks. Although the Internet is a free world, no one has the privilege to use it to insult people, nor does it have the immunity to insult people irresponsibility. I hope that such an incident can provide a negative example of how to legislate and build online morality for the Internet. ”

Zhang Ran quickly responded to Zhu Dake: "Scolding? What you want to scold is a talent called scolding, right? I made it clear, I wanted to scold for a long time, thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

There are many so-called critics like Zhu Dake in China, and one thing these people have in common is that they don't understand movies. Although many people claim to have studied in movies for many years, they can actually only create academic garbage in a narrow range with outdated or even fallacious theories, and may be able to recite a few original sentences of Bazin or Eisenstein, saying two sentences that many people can't figure out the cold knowledge, just like Kong Yiji knows the four ways to write huizi. For example, a very famous professor talked about film noir, and finally I watched a classic film noir "Rocky". me, when did "Rocky" become a film noir?

In fact, as long as you flip through domestic film journals, every popular film comes out, there will definitely be a bunch of review articles, but these articles are basically the same pattern, retelling the content of the movie, quoting two Bazin's words, or grasping a certain theory and putting it on the film, or it is just pulling ideas. On the surface, these practices seem to be lofty, but in fact they are aimed at covering up their ignorance of film technology and audio-visual language! I have read two of Zhu Dake's film reviews, and the evaluation is that they are not as good as bullshit, and they have no academic value. It doesn't matter if there are one or two people like Zhu Dake, but in China they are a group, and they are the mainstream of Chinese commentary!

For example, "Spider-Man 2" has a higher rating on Rotten Tomatoes and MTC than the masterpiece "The Shawshank Redemption" in many people's hearts, is "Spider-Man" more artistic value than "Shawshank"? Of course not. The reason for this is that the evaluation criteria are different. However, no matter what kind of film our domestic experts evaluate, they use the standards of art films to evaluate them, and in their elm heads, only films that express the philosophy of life and reveal social problems are good movies.

This notion rules not only in the world of criticism, but also in the world of education, because many of the so-called critics are themselves university teachers. When they stand on the podium and teach class, they instill in the students this kind of concept: entertainment films are garbage, Hollywood is a garbage dump, and the students are taught by European masters, who talk about ideology, aesthetic value, and aesthetic significance all day long, but they don't talk about real technology.

Do we have few film and television majors in China? Are there few people who study film? Why can't young directors come out? The reason is that these young directors learn everything to plot and anti-narrative, and many students do not even have the basic skills of audio-visual language after graduation. What is needed now is a director who can tell a good story, they are not good at this at all, how can they come out?

The biggest problem of Chinese films is not the General Administration, not censorship, not funding, and nothing else, but in the gang of people who control film criticism and education.

After Zhang Ran's Weibo was posted, half of the commentators were angered by his words!

Are we the scourge of Chinese cinema?

We can defeat Xie Jin, we can criticize Zhang Yimou, and we can also destroy you Zhang Ran!

As a result, these experts and professors began to attack Zhang Ran, and attacked Zhang Ran's films, what lack of ideological depth! What kind of cultural compradors! What kind of rogue aesthetics! All came out!
