Chapter 289: The Thirteen Pillars of Jinling
In Beijing, at the premiere of "The Thirteen Pillars of Jinling", Lin Pingzhi was being interviewed by the media.
"Mr. Lin, Director Jiang Wen said that you are the most aura director in China in recent years, and the box office is king, in fact, you have surpassed many predecessors, and the media should erase the word cutting-edge from your title, do you think Director Jiang has too much praise?"
Da Shuaibi was stunned for a moment, and the eyes around him instantly gathered, and he looked unusually calm in the noisy sound: "I hope to take off the word cutting-edge, but this doesn't depend on me to raise my arms, the work is up, and the name will naturally change, just like today's premiere, everyone can see the influence of the national teacher." ”
Behind the big handsome competition, more than a dozen golden flowers were entering hand in hand, Nini stood in the first place, staring at the dazzling flashing lights, and saw Lin Pingzhi talking loudly, and was fascinated.
The LED giant screen projected the yellowed photos of the Jinling Church, the women laughed with their own style, and the air was full of enthusiasm and excitement.
The premiere was huge, stars from all walks of life helped out, the third master took the lead, and the guests even included directors of the level of Lin Pingzhi's Kaige, the Wang brothers rarely cheered, and Chris Belle came to China to promote the ...... The stars are shining and the guests are full, which is the result of Zhang Wei's character of commenting on the great achievements, and it is also the unrivaled prestige accumulation of the national teacher.
"Three films compete, but I believe that the Golden Horse Organizing Committee can maintain a superb balance from them, and I hope we can all have a satisfactory result......"
"There really was only one winner, but there were no losers, and we were all recognized. ”
"I heard that it would rain in Taipei that day, and I like rainy days, which is my lucky weather. ”
Lin Pingzhi answered a few questions, and was stopped by the host at the end of the red carpet and signed the poster.
Brother Kai stood next to him, waited for a long time, and said with a smile, "Lin Pingzhi, you also watch Lao Zhang's films, aren't you afraid of provoking others?"
Brother Kai has a good relationship with several directors, and Feng Dacang calls himself the eldest brother, and the national teacher was also a photographer under him back then, he is old and has high seniority.
"I came with a learning attitude, and I didn't dare to compare with Mr. Zhang. ”
Brother Kai was startled, and his hand trembled when he saw Lin Pingzhi's signature, "You are lying, Lin Pingzhi, why didn't you call the teacher when you watched my film?"
"It sounds strange to call Teacher Chen, only those who do photography can call Teacher Chen. ”
Kaige: "I don't understand. ”
"If you don't understand, that's right. ”
"Do you think he can do this? Not to mention Oscar, how can you get a golden ball, huh?" Brother Kai covered his mouth, afraid that the media would photograph the two of them reading their lips, and there was some envy in his voice.
"Farewell My Concubine" was unsealed in the magic capital back then, and thousands of people were empty, he sat on a burlap sofa to greet and cheer, took the microphone at the time, and was helplessly interrupted by the call several times, and now he doesn't even have a film that has passed 6, he just wants to mess up.
You said that Lao Zhang has been sprayed for several years, why is he still getting more and more frustrated?
Lin Pingzhi turned his head to face the camera, smiling without smiling.
"I hope he can do it. ”
Brother Kai also stretched out his hand to greet Lin Pingzhi as well, turned his head and muttered, "This just can't be done." ”
……
The most powerful thing about the national teacher is that the camera is sophisticated, excavating the layered beauty of color conformation, full of impact, and does not seem pretentious and chattering - this is the most disgusting point of domestic literary films.
Countless times in the film, the film shows schoolgirls peeking out of the colorful glass window of the church, which is like the dividing line between heaven and hell, and it brings hope to the desperate gaze projected, turning the sun-drenched church into the Garden of Eden, where slaughter is raging, and the women in the church tease and abuse each other, and pet jokes.
Of course, the glass also gilded the women who were actually prostitutes with holy light, the fact is that these women were of course not Liu Ruyi, they even looked down on the bloody soldiers at the beginning, and clashed with the original church reading girls, these prostitutes are simply hateful, and the national teacher shows the human nature of the prostitutes everywhere in the details, laying the groundwork.
The process of developing the plot in the middle is extremely depressing, prostitutes, schoolgirls, foreigners, and soldiers are desperately trying to survive in the difficulty of slaughtering the city, many viewers are pale in the audience, and a few sob, this is not a sensational film that tears open the wound to watch, the national teacher is very emotional at all times, his focus is always on a dozen or so women, and their transformation is the biggest clue of the movie.
filmed Jinling, there are two recent directors, the national teacher, and Lu Chuan, taking "Schindler's List" as an example, a film that reflects the national disaster can shock the film industry and become a business card of the nation if it touches the hearts of the people and touches the soul, and making this kind of film should be under tremendous pressure, because historical facts and ancestors are always asking the director to torture the director, and the director still needs to make the most appropriate lens interpretation and trade-off, they must first face history with bloody wounds.
Lu Chuan approached Spielberg before filming "Jinling" and asked him about the filming of "Schindler's List", and Spielberg told him bluntly after understanding his thoughts: You are still too young, this proposition is too grand, you have not yet reached this age to make this movie.
Lu Chuan was disappointed, but he still filmed, and then made a movie full of tragic shots but couldn't move people's hearts at all, his film was not sorry for the name Jinling at all, Dong Shi Xiaofeng, I don't know how thick the sky is, he desecrated this name, this Shabi has no comparison, he can make other movies a few blind hi, but he shouldn't take this kind of theme, the whole film is full of love for the Yamato nation.
The national teacher is relatively restrained, the final ending of the movie is that the Japanese army forcibly recruits female students to perform for the Japanese army at the celebration party, the murder is more auspicious and less, the female students are ready to die, and the dusty woman who is regarded as inferior on weekdays, instead of the female students in the church, went to the covenant of death, the female students successfully escaped through the truck, Meng Yujuan showed her eyes on the truck, and looked at the world blankly: "I don't know those Qinhuai River women, the final ending." ”
In fact, the ending of the original book is much more cruel: one of the thirteen women was killed on the spot, 11 women were sent to the comfort station after being eaten, and they were killed, sick, and committed suicide when they fled, and only one Yumo (Nini) survived, who was disfigured, and at the Jinling post-war trial, as the only survivor, confirmed how the Japanese army shared her and the other 12 "female students".
Why doesn't the national teacher shoot these, because the force is too strong, and the decision should be broken.
The evaluation of this movie in later generations is not high, especially at that time, it was hacked out of Xiang, the Chinese audience's score has always been irritable, and under high expectations, they are especially nitpicky about the national teacher, and if they are unhappy, they are one-star rough, and the score has finally come up over the years, and some people say that they sigh "This film is good".
What makes the audience give a point without hesitation, of course, it will not be movie skills, but there is a disgusting plot, and more than one place, Hollywood superstars save the Chinese, inexplicably before parting, a little is the national teacher's compromise on commercialization, or the helplessness of entering Hollywood, and it is also said that it is to praise Zhang Wei's actor Nini, in short, this makes the artistic value of the film plummet, and a pot of seafood soup that was originally authentic mixed with.
At the end of the movie, the audience stood up and applauded as usual, and the handsome man who came to cheer was also following the crowd, Brother Kai looked at Lin Pingzhi with a solemn face, as if he had something to say, he had his own judgment, Lin Pingzhi spread his hands with a smile on his face.
This smile is exactly the same as when it was signed.
Brother Kai understood, and sighed with a touch in his heart.
