Chapter Ninety-Three: The Premiere

Looking at the opening animation of DreamWorks and listening to the soothing and ethereal music, everyone, including He Meitian, had a dreamlike feeling, and some people were even a little dumbfounded!

After seeing the opening animation of DreamWorks, the originally noisy audience collectively lost their voices, and the theater fell silent in an instant, and the audience's ideas were all concentrated on the big screen!

When it comes to Hong Kong films, you can't fail to mention a magazine - "Film Fortnightly".

The predecessor of "Film Fortnightly" was "Movie Close-up".

"Movie Close-up" is a magazine founded by Tang Shuxuan, the mother of the new wolf tide of Xiangjiang films.

Tang Shuxuan was born in a famous family, is the granddaughter of the Republic of China warlord Tang Jiyao, and the sister of Tang Shuchen, the lyricist of "The Love of My Life". Tang Shuxuan's first daughter film "Mrs. Dong" was a blockbuster, and the film won many awards such as the Most Creative Special Award at the 9th Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan, and was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival. "Mrs. Dong" can be said to be the first Chinese-language film to be looked at differently by European film festivals. In the selection of the 100 best films in the past 100 years of Chinese films, not only "Mrs. Dong" is on the list, but Tang Shuxuan's other work "Goodbye, China" is also on the list. Fang Yuping, Tan Jiaming, Xu Ke, Xu Anhua, Tang Jiming, Cai Jiguang, Chen Yuqi and other famous directors have all been influenced by Tang Shuxuan, and the two directors most influenced by Tang Shuxuan are Wang Jiawei and Guan Jinpeng.

Later, due to the unsuccessful transformation into a commercial director and some other reasons, Tang Shuxuan immigrated to the United States to live a life of husband and children.

After Tang Shuxuan left, Shu Qi left behind by Tang Shuxuan (not the Shu Qi who made the three-pole film, but Shu Qi who contributed to the Xiangjiang Film Awards, male. Under the leadership of Shu Qi, the editors of "Film Close-up" such as Chen Bosen and Wang Zhonghan changed "Film Close-up" to "Film Biweekly" to continue their film dreams.

At this moment, Tang Shuxuan, who returned to Hong Kong to visit his sister, and Shu Qi, Chen Bosen, and Wang Zhonghan also watched "Donkey Gets Water" on the Li stage.

"Dreamworks - DreamWorks, good name!" Tang Shuxuan muttered after watching the opening animation of Dreamworks.

Shu Qi, Chen Bosen, and Wang Zhonghan also felt the same way as Tang Shuxuan, and Chen Bosen praised it without hesitation: "This opening animation is awesome, and the company's name is also great!"

Subtitle: China, 1942.

At the same time, the Xiangjiang audience saw an endless savannah that they had never seen before.

For many mainlanders, such a large grassland scenery is not attractive, because they often see it, but for Xiangjiang people, especially Xiangjiang people who were born and raised in Xiangjiang and have never left Xiangjiang, such scenery is something they have never seen, and for those Xiangjiang people who come to Xiangjiang from the mainland, such a scenery instantly evokes the memory in the depths of their memory.

In the first act alone, "Donkey Gets Water" is different from the Xiangjiang movie.

Shu Qi recalled and said, "I almost forgot that the grassland is like this!"

In the film, everyone flirts and scolds, you and me, happy, happy, simple and orderly life, is disrupted by a telegram - the Ministry of Education commissioner is coming, which frightens these ordinary teachers who make mistakes.

In the dark night, on the long slope, Principal Sun's contemplative figure is a little beautiful.

In the midst of the chaos, the coppersmith who came to repair the bell was arrested to replace the donkey and the water teacher.

In the theater, the audience who originally came to find fault and pick thorns was forced to find thorns by the tight plot and had no time to pick thorns.

Only Tang Shuxuan could spare time to say: "The remarks are concise and to the point, there is almost no useless plot, almost every piece is lean meat, and the shortcomings are vegetarian dishes...... There are still some commercials, not pure literary films, no wonder it failed to win the Golden Lion Award. ”

Goodbye's dialogue with Good moning, Shakespeare's dialogue, the special correspondent who returned from studying abroad and the donkey teacher who returned from studying abroad, and the title of rural educator, all made the audience laugh, and even those who came to find fault and find fault with the audience couldn't help laughing!

Wang Zhonghan said: "Although these actors are not famous, their acting skills are speechless, especially Zhang Yiman's actor Zhou Xun, her singing makes my heart flutter, no wonder she can become the queen of this Venice movie." ”

Tang Shuxuan shook his head, and then said: "It is Li Qing's accurate vision for selecting actors and Li Qing's strong ability to train actors, there are few movies like this movie, each character is portrayed so vividly, if Li Qing didn't deliberately please the audience, with his guiding ability, "Donkey Gets Water" will definitely be as profound as "Farewell My Concubine". ”

Everyone eats on the rooftop, the perspective is constantly expanding, the house, the big locust tree, everyone lives a comfortable life......

And yet—

Sun Henghai, Pei Kuishan, and Zhou Tienan's meal on the top of the mountain changed the tone of the movie!

The simple Zhang Yiman put the coppersmith in his pajamas, Pei Kuishan's heart was broken, and cracks began to appear within the team.

The philanthropist personally came to visit the donkey deshui teacher, ushering in the high dynasty of the whole play.

The coppersmith's daughter-in-law came to fight Xiaosan, the outbreak and transformation of the coppersmith, and finally the revenge on Zhang Yiman.

In order to fulfill the lie, everyone was kidnapped by the coppersmith and launched a criticism of Zhang Yiman.

The cruelty of this criticism is similar to that of Wen Leather, and the people who criticize themselves are their former comrades-in-arms.

Pei Kuishan's hatred, Principal Sun's helplessness, and Zhou Tienan's righteousness and resistance.

A gunshot rang out, which stunned everyone.

Zhou Tienan knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, Zhang Yiman was completely desperate, Pei Kuishan nodded and bowed, the principal was forced to marry a daughter, this is the price to be paid for a lie.

A few people who happily want to dedicate themselves to rural education, and who do not hesitate to donate their wages to encourage local children to go to school, because of a small lie, all end up sliding to the other side of human nature.

An audience member who never watched the movie counted 110 times in the audience, and then swore that "Donkey Gets Water" is definitely a comedy!"

This audience really didn't watch the movie, because the audience who saw the end of the film would never say that "Donkey Gets Water" is a comedy.

Principal Sun, Pei Kuishan, and Zhou Tienan want to selectively forget all this!

But Zhang Yiman used suicide to tell Principal Sun, Pei Kuishan, and Zhou Tienan, you are all executioners!

Sun Jia went to Yan'an in a donkey cart.

The film is screened.

The lights in the theater are on.

And yet—

There was silence for an unprecedentedly long time in the theater - no one spoke, and no one left.

After a while, some viewers finally remembered that they were here to find faults.

Moreover, there are too many things to criticize in the movie "Donkey Gets Water".

And so—

"What a garbage movie, there is no good person in the whole play, only people with the same humanity can make such a garbage movie!"

"The characters change too quickly, the characters are not carefully created at all, the scene is quite large, but the set is extremely simple, in short, it is shoddy, and such a film can win an international award?

"Your mom D, the whole movie is just a bit of a 'pajama', and the rest is some kind of mess!"

“……”

Hearing the audience's abuse of "Donkey Gets Water" and Li Qing, Tang Shuxuan shook his head, and then said leisurely: "In the face of extreme violence, people who are not firm in their beliefs will always compromise with reality. Under the abnormal system, both the upper and lower classes are desolate. Bad root nature is the source of corruption. No one is a saint, but it is often those who live soberly and are often those who seem crazy. You can pity the animal and treat it like a human, but don't treat a person who lives like an animal as a person, because when a person actually becomes an animal, it will eat people...... "Donkey Gets Water" is not bad. ”
