Chapter 142: Huang Wen
The so-called experimental movies refer to those made by Blind Ji Ba.
The director was in such a good mood that he was overturned...
"Grass!
Wang Shuo scolded with a smile.
“…”
Xu Hui smiled and didn't speak.
didn't feel anything wrong because Wang Shuo burst into a foul language, in fact, people in Beijing often use the word Ya when chatting.
Wang Shuo is regarded as the group pet of the entire Beijing circle, a typical literati, laughing and scolding are all written on his face...
Xu Hui can talk to these people, and the most important thing is that he is also a person who travels all over the world with his mouth!
Feng Xiaogang wrote a short story in "I Dedicate My Youth to You", when he and Wang Shuo were young, they often pondered the competition to praise people...
It's a bit like Xu Hui fooling Wu Jing...
……
Xu Hui is a fan of Feng Xiaogang, but he is definitely not a fan, and Xu Hui does not appreciate his works.
For example, "Night Banquet" and "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" feel insincere, and "Private Custom" feels even more crude, but in terms of the overall quality of his past works and his struggles in the film industry, he deserves the respect of all filmmakers - who can guarantee that his work will always go up, there will always be ups and downs. He cannot be completely dismissed because of a temporary trough.
Several of his dramas, although not perfect, are worth remembering, thought-provoking, and prove his inner feelings.
Since entering the film and television industry, Xu Hui has deeply felt the difficulties, writing scripts, finding resources, and opening up channels are all extremely laborious, far from standing aside to criticize and complain.
Like all literary and artistic workers born in the 50s, Feng Xiaogang has an innate sense of social responsibility and mission.
Wind and snow are not their ideals, but the disadvantages of acupuncture are.
Here's the problem,
When you want to be a director with "feelings", it's not because you can't let go of anything, you can do it with a knot, and you can say concise and meaningful words like "never forget, there will be repercussions", which is the embodiment of feelings.
What do you mean by feelings?
It's not that Lao Tzu is feelings!
You have to use the work to prove that the audience's recognition is true.
From this point of view, Feng Xiaogang is actually in a very embarrassing position, his age, identity, business positioning, auxiliary team and personal ability do not allow him to do too much transformation efforts, but he still wants to try, like Akira Kurosawa, to do whatever he wants, and make a gorgeous and philosophical movie like "Nine Dreams", but he really can't support this huge dream alone.
But in any case, such a filmmaker is still worthy of respect!
Feng Xiaogang can live a better and more relaxed life, filming comedies that the masses like all the way, without seeking box office records, as long as he can give investors an explanation. But he didn't, under the tired vitiligo, under the pressure of the ups and downs of Huayi stocks, and under the infamy of all kinds of "pretending to be forced", he made the movies he wanted.
Speaking out in public for the sake of China's film classification system and censorship, this is something that offends people, he did it without hesitation, he is already a vested interest, but he still dares to come forward. If it were you, would you dare?
In terms of subject matter and scale, from "1942", "I Am Not Pan Jinlian", to "Fanghua" in recent years, he has continuously broadened the censorship scale of the subject matter, and many themes have been filmed by him, and only after he has filmed this genre have people slowly dared to shoot. Basically, it is a one-on-one effort to refresh the upper limit of many scales.
knows that his ability is limited, but for the sake of how far Chinese films can go, he desperately twists every gear that may turn and finds a way out. For those who dare to try like this and have responsibility, we can criticize his works and talk about his character, but when it comes to his contribution to Chinese films, he is definitely qualified to rank among the great directors!
It is estimated that Ya must be very envious of Jiang Wen in her heart, why did he shoot so many money-losing goods, and then as soon as he filmed, a bunch of people sent the money to him, and then said: Dad, you have fun.
Of course, Feng Xiaogang has a bunch of stinky problems: there is a problem with the expression of values in the movie, he especially likes to always take himself too seriously, even if he does good deeds, he always uses the attitude of overlooking everyone;
Especially the porcelain propaganda, this is the most speechless.
……
Saying goodbye to a few old men, Xu Hui and Huang Wen got into a taxi.
"Let's go for a walk?"
"Okay!"
Huang Wen didn't speak all night, and he could see that he had something on his mind.
Taxis are parked on a road near the hotel.
The two walked slowly along the late night in the capital.
The capital is a cosmopolitan metropolis with a naturally rich nightlife, and the nearby bars are full of ordinary office workers who are anxious about work during the day and get drunk at night.
The nightclub is full of young men and women, rubbing against each other and demanding from each other.
That kind of place Xu Hui may have liked when he was young, but now he can't play anymore!
And that kind of place is not suitable for chatting, but fortunately, there is a park nearby.
The cold air of Siberia is mixed with PM2.5, Chinese characteristics!
The weather was good, there were not many people in this park, Huang Wen took out a cigarette, stood on the side of the road, and watched the woods blown by the wind in the night make a roaring sound.
"Brother Wen?"
Xu Hui glanced at him a little curiously.
What? Is this going to be transformed?
"I'm going to leave Huiwen!"
Opening is a critical hit!
Waving his hand, Huang Wen continued: "To set up a brokerage company, I am still suitable to be a broker!"
“… Why?"
Xu Hui was silent for a few seconds and asked.
"Huiwen doesn't need me now..."Huang Wen smiled self-deprecatingly: "This year, a lot of things have happened, and I am a person who can't be idle!"
"Got it figured?"
"Well, I figured it out. Huang Wen nodded: "Two months ago, I met Xiao Shuang, and I suddenly felt very sorry for others, I am ready to sign her under my command again, find a few more promising newcomers, and slowly cultivate..."
"Xiao Shuang, how is she now?"
It's been a bit of a trance, almost two years...
Huang Wen nodded: "It's pretty good, she has a good relationship with Mango Channel, and all the TV series she starred in can be broadcast on Mango Channel!"
"It's good..."
After all, it is the first rising star of the cannon after Pao Hui came to China.
Midnight dream, I can still vaguely feel the clear fragrance of virginity...
"Brother Wen, the brokerage company is affiliated with Huiwen, there is no need to start anew..."
Huang Wen refused: "Forget it, Huiwen has his own brokerage company, what's the matter if I set up another one?"
“… That..."
"Don't worry, I won't leave completely, don't forget, I still have six percent of Huiwen's shares!"
Xu Hui: "However, it is difficult to find promising newcomers, with my predecessor, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to find a better one!"
People must not forget their roots.
Without Huang Wen, or changing to an obedient agent, Xu Hui would not have been so smooth in the initial stage.
Think about an idol who suddenly transformed into a director, is it possible?
"By the way, Brother Wen, SM. There is an idol team called EXO, which has four Chinese members, and their personal popularity is top-notch, you can choose one to cultivate. ”
"I still need you to say, I've already got in touch with that guy named Lu Han!"
