Text: Chapter 934

Chen Kaige never expected Song Zheng to come, he did send an invitation letter to Song Zheng, but this was completely out of politeness, in fact, he didn't even leave Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang behind.

This is like in martial arts, a certain sect wants to hold a martial arts conference and publish hero posts, whether it comes or not is someone else's final say, whether to give it or not is a matter of attitude, I gave it, at least it proves that I have you in my eyes.

Chen Kaige sent an invitation letter to Song Zheng, with this attitude, he naturally knew that "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" would hold its premiere today, even if Song Zheng was not the investor or distributor of this movie, he would definitely go to Feng Xiaogang's side, after all, the good relationship between the two people, who in the circle does not know!

However, Chen Kaige never expected that Song Zheng would really come, and he walked on the red carpet openly.

I'm dazzled, right?

Chen Kaige didn't know how to deal with this situation, and Song Zheng had already walked in front of him.

"Director Chen!"

Song Zheng said, took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Chen Kaige, his posture was very low, he admired Chen Kaige very much, as the leader of the "fifth generation of directors" of Chinese films, Chen Kaige started from "Yellow Earth" in 1984, and then "The Child King", "Farewell My Concubine", "Jing Ke Assassinated the King of Qin", "With You" and many other masterpieces, creating a unique Chen-style Chinese aesthetics belonging to Chen Kaige, with the profound culture of the East as the foundation, with the 5,000-year-old civilization of China as the core, to show Chinese films to the world.

Chen Kaige's artistic career can be described as exploring all the way, singing all the way, leaving countless awards, the most famous of which is the well-known "Farewell My Concubine", which won the Palme d'Or at the 46th Cannes International Film Festival for Chen Kaige, becoming the first Chinese and the only one so far.

Since then, awards have been commonplace for Chen Kaige, and the so-called awards have been soft, including being nominated for the Cannes Palme d'Or 6 times.

"Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin", Chen Kaige gave this well-known Chinese story a heavy theme of fighting against fate, and won the Best Artistic Contribution Award at the 52nd Cannes International Film Festival.

After "Farewell My Concubine", now, Chen Kaige once again put China's quintessential art Peking Opera on the stage, telling the story of Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang, Song Zheng's previous life, although after the release of "Mei Lanfang", many people smeared it, thinking that the changes were too big, and that it was not as good as "Farewell My Concubine", but this autobiographical film still captured the hearts of overseas audiences with its righteous and round singing, and was finally nominated for the Golden Bear Award in the main competition unit of the 59th Berlin International Film Festival.

The reason why Chen Kaige is favored by international awards is inseparable from his high artistic attainments and consistent humanistic feelings, and these come from his rough life, Chen Kaige has experienced the most turbulent era in China, so that he has become more and more self-confessed as he grows older, and the film style has gradually established the theme of exploring humanities, and laid the spiritual thread of Chen Kaige's rebellion against fate.

"Yellow Earth" as Chen Kaige's debut novel, is Chen Kaige's first thinking about fighting fate, the heroine Cui Qiao, like other ancestors who have lived in this yellow earth for generations, lived a life of labor, marriage, and childbirth, one day, the Red Army troops came, let her see people and things she had never seen before, so that she began to resist the fate of being bound by this yellow earth, but unfortunately, the final result, her life still could not escape the fate of the loess reincarnation.

The movie "Farewell My Concubine" can be regarded as Chen Kaige's "rebellion and resistance", which focuses on the theme of the deep national spiritual core, and has reached a very skillful peak.

When Cheng Dieyi was young, he longed for maternal love, but he couldn't get it, he rebelled and resisted, but he couldn't break free, when he was young, he longed to sing with his senior brother Duan Xiaolou for a lifetime, but in the end he couldn't love it, and finally lost himself in the collapse, and reunited with his senior brother in his later years, still obsessed with singing well, and ended up killing himself with the overlord sword.

is like Cheng Dieyi's mother's sentence when she was a child, "Everyone has everyone's life", but what Cheng Dieyi has been doing all her life is "not accepting her fate".

Some people say that "Farewell My Concubine" is the greatest movie of Chinese cinema in the past century, and there is no one, which may be an exaggeration, but "Farewell My Concubine" is indeed great.

In addition to the film's reflection on the struggle of fate and the care for human nature, the whole movie is beautiful, with an epic grand narrative and national cultural connotation, and the details of the lens are full of Chen Kaige-style mysterious oriental aesthetics.

Coupled with Zhang Guorong's precise grasp of Cheng Dieyi, a smile and a smile, and a variety of styles, this film became popular all over the world for a while, won numerous awards, and won the Palme d'Or for Chen Kaige, which has not been surpassed by anyone so far and has become the only Chinese.

If you don't care about the box office, only about artistic achievements, Song Zheng is really not enough to watch in front of Chen Kaige, at least, he has made a lot of movies, and there has never been a single one that has been recognized by the international film industry in terms of artistry.

Song Zheng suddenly appeared, and the media reporters at the scene immediately messed up, this is big news!

Could it be that Song Zheng and Feng Xiaogang had a falling out?

Chen Kaige was also a little stunned, but he came back to his senses under Chen Hong's reminder, and quickly shook hands with Song Zheng, obviously not recovering from the shock of Song Zheng's sudden arrival, and couldn't help but show a wry smile: "Director Song is really unexpected!"

Song Zheng smiled when he heard this: "I've always wanted to find an opportunity to say thank you to Director Chen, I just caught up today, what's the matter, Director Chen is not welcome?"

Thank you?

Chen Kaige really couldn't figure out what he had done for a while, so he could only say casually: "How come?

Song Zheng smiled, and then shook hands with Chen Hong, Li Ming, and Wang Xueqi, and walked in.

After Song Zheng left, Chen Kaige remembered and asked Chen Hong: "He just said that he wanted to thank me, thank you for what?"

Chen Hong was also a little puzzled at first, and she couldn't think of it, it was really because Song Zheng and Chen Kaige had too little contact, and the two sides basically had little intersection.

Suddenly, Chen Hong had an idea and said, "What Director Song said shouldn't be the words you said when you participated in that talent show in Jiangsu!"

Chen Hong reminded him, and Chen Kaige also remembered that daring to love is such a thing, and people are here to repay favors.

Thinking of this, Chen Kaige couldn't help laughing, no matter what, Song Zheng came to cheer, making him feel that he had face, thinking about Feng Xiaogang's current expression, his mood suddenly became more refreshing.
