Jia Zhangke said that it was a great achievement that he could sit in this position after only two years of entering the circle, but Du An's really couldn't be happy, after all, there were so many people sitting in front of him. And when he came over just now, he also saw that there was a name plate in the second row that was written Er Dongsheng, which was also the opponent he had fought twice since his career as a director, and in the two battles, Er Dongsheng's film box office was not as high as his, why is Er Dongsheng a first-line director, but he, the director who defeated Er Dongsheng twice, is only a second-line director?

He said this question in a different way: "How can you tell if it is the first line or the second line?"

Jia Zhangke touched his nose and explained: "The director's union has its own scoring system, with many reference scoring items, and the combined score is an estimate of a director's influence. However, these reference scoring items are more focused on the technical level, and the weight of the box office is relatively small, in other words, it is more advantageous to make more literary films. ”

Duane suddenly realized: I see, it is almost the same as the Huabiao Award.

However, judging from the several commercial film directors sitting in front of them, the self-rating and valuation system of the directors' union is more comprehensive than that of the Huabiao Awards, but if a commercial film director like him wants to climb high, he still has to make more efforts and make greater achievements.

"Also, qualifications are also very important,"

After Jia Zhangke took a breath, he continued, "The longer you mix in this circle, the higher your evaluation score will be, after all, no matter what you do, practice makes perfect, and if you do it for a long enough time, your skills will not be too bad." Experience is also a part of ability, or a very important part, geniuses like director Zhang Yi and director Du are always a minority, and most directors are slowly honed out one movie at a time, so qualifications are a very important reference item. ”

"Director Du, you suffer in these two aspects, one is qualifications, and the other is the type of film. If you had a few films like "One Flew Over the Asylum" and I had been in this industry for a year, I would have been sitting in the front row by now. ”

Duane didn't expect the directors' union's influence valuation system to be so perverted. Even the qualifications will be counted, this time it is really a long eyesight.

At the same time, I have a new understanding of "One Flew Over the Asylum" that he made on a whim: don't look at the box office of "One Flew Over the Asylum" is not very outstanding, among the films he has made, it is only higher than "Chainsaw". But "One Flew Over the Asylum" has really brought a lot of benefit effects, not only allowing Han Sanping to come to the door in person to beg him to make a movie, but also improving his influence and status in the professional field He can now sit here, listening to Jia Zhangke's words, a lot of credit is due to "One Flew Over the Asylum".

It can also be seen from this incident that commercial films and literary films really have their own advantages and disadvantages: commercial films make money, but they really can't make anything except money, and literary films don't make money, but they can gain a lot of things other than money. It's no wonder that there will never be fewer directors who make literary films.

And Du ane himself also deeply understands that commercial films are made for the audience, and literary films are often made for themselves, saying what is in their hearts, the audience may be very narrow, but the director himself shoots very coolly, which is an effect that commercial films cannot reach.

One is to make others happy, and the other is to make yourself happy.

The two chatted, and Duane gradually shifted the topic to the process of the industry summit and threw out the news that he was going to speak at the closing ceremony. I took the opportunity to ask the question that had been bothering me for the past few days.

"You spoke at the closing ceremony?"

He saw Jia Zhangke's bewildered face, "It's not very reasonable, generally speaking, the people who speak at the closing ceremony are the people who sit at the front." ”

Duane said, "I've heard that's the case, too. So it's not clear what the hell is going on. He thought about it for a while, and then threw out a message, "Zhang Yimou has contacted me in the past two days, saying that he is coming to my new film to be an assistant director, and I went up to speak about it, which seems to be what he prodded." ”

"The old man volunteered to be your assistant director?!"

This one after another is exciting news. The expression on Jia Zhangke's face was even more strange, it was completely a capitalized bewilderment, and it took a long time to slow down, and then he thought about it for a long time, looked around, and then said slowly: "You want to fly!" There was envy in his eyes.

Duane raised his eyebrows and dropped the book bag, "I want to hear it." ”

Jia Zhangke stretched out his hand and pointed to the front row, "Look over there." ”

Du An followed his fingers and looked over, only to see that these directors were really unreliable, the two of them had been talking for a long time, and there were three or four people sitting in the front row, Chen Kaige, Xu Ke, Wang Jiawei or something, and Jia Zhangke's words came from his ears.

"The number of top directors has not been much, and some people retire every few years, but there are not necessarily people who are qualified to make up for it every few years, so the number has remained at less than ten, and now among these people, three are from our mainland, four are from Xiangjiang, and one is not from Taiwan. ”

"In terms of numbers, we are slightly inferior in the mainland, but we are of high quality, and on the whole, we are evenly matched. ”

Jia Zhangke pulled his hand and pointed to the second row, "The first-line directors are more miserable, now there are eight, only one is from our mainland, five from Xiangjiang, and two from Taiwan." ”

This is the first time that Du An's knowledge of the distribution of forces within the directors' union is a little surprised: the media always says that Xiangjiang films are in decline or something, but judging from the internal distribution of forces in the directors' union, Xiangjiang films are in full swing.

As for Taiwanese films, there is nothing to say, they have been weak for a long time.

Jia Zhangke took his hand back again, and turned around on his side and Du An, "The second-line director is back again, there are a lot of people, and it changes every year, I don't remember the specific number, anyway, last year, the mainland director and the director of Xiangjiang were half to half, and the Taiwanese one was a little less, three or four." ”

Hearing this, Du Ancouldn't help but ask the doubt he had just now: "Isn't it all about the decline of Xiangjiang movies? Why do I see that Xiangjiang movies are still very strong in the current director circle?"

Jia Zhangke said at this time: "This is what I am going to say next," he pointed his hand behind and said: "If you go down, you will not subdivide, and you will be a third-line director." And most of them are from our mainland, and there are very few in Xiangjiang and Taiwan. ”

"In other words, the reserve forces of Xiangjiang and Taiwan are very insufficient, far less than our mainland, and if this continues, in another ten or twenty years, when Director Zhang and his group retire, the film industry will basically be the face of our mainland directors. ”

Duane then understood.

Jia Zhangke continued: "And the decline of a region's films is not simply about directors and actors, but about the film industry in the region as a whole, although there are many good actors and directors in Xiangjiang, but their overall ecology is not good, the industrial chain is very incomplete, top-heavy, there are many problems here, I won't go into details." ”

Duane nodded, in understanding. And now that he learned about the ecological relationship in the industry, he vaguely guessed what Zhang Yi meant.

Jia Zhangke pursed his lips, looked at him, and said: "You also know the inside story of our circle now, right? I see that the old man's action is to pull you up and fill the weakness of this area. ”

When Duane heard this, he was silent.

What Jia Zhangke said was also what he guessed.

Now Chinese movies are popular all over the world, but what needs to be seen is that the four words "Chinese film" are composed of three parts: the mainland, Xiangjiang, and Taiwan, and the mainland part has not yet swept all of them, and what Zhang Yi wants to do is to change the popularity of Chinese films into mainland movies sweeping the world.

Thinking of this, Duane couldn't help but shake his head secretly: in his opinion, Xiangjiang has returned, so whether it is the mainland or Xiangjiang, it is China, why do you have to be so clear?

Jia Zhangke looked at him and broke another revelation, "Actually, the old man has been doing this, before Jiang Wen went to help Lu Chuan shoot "Looking for a Gun", it was he and Han Sanping who picked it up, and now his target has increased to one you." ”

Du An's sighed, "Old Man Zhang is really exhausted." ”

He is still racking his brains for his own movie, Zhang Yi has already begun to lay out for industrial planning, which is really not at the same level as him.

But Du An's sure that he can't do this kind of thing: he is just a layman, he wanted to make money and live a good life when he started making movies, but now this goal has not changed, and he really hasn't thought about such a thing as industrial layout.

Jia Zhangke laughed and joked: "Who said it wasn't, but now Director Du, you are the new hope of our mainland films, and I won't be able to mix up as a brother in the future, please leave me something to eat." ”

Du An's face was embarrassed, and he smiled bitterly: "Brother Jia, don't joke with me." As he spoke, the words turned and went back to Jia Zhangke, "By the way, Brother Jia, didn't Zhang Yi look for you?"

In Du An's opinion, Jia Zhangke's level is quite good, judging from the existing films alone, it is more mature than the land ship, why is Zhang Yi only looking for the land ship and not Jia Zhangke?

Jia Zhangke's face remained unchanged, but a trace of obscurity in his eyes was captured by Du An. He smiled and said, "Who knows, I can't guess what a big man thinks, otherwise I should be replaced in that position." ”

Duane nodded and stopped talking.

While the two were still chatting, the people in the conference hall were finally filled one after another, and the time was up, and the industry summit finally began. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
