Chapter 341: Best Director
A director is the organizer and leader of the production of film and television works, and a person who uses actors to express his thoughts. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info is the general person in charge of putting film and television literary scripts on the screen.
As a synthesizer of various artistic elements in film and television creation, the director's task is to organize and unite all the creative and technical personnel and performers in the crew, give full play to their talents, and integrate the creative labor of all people.
The director is like the supreme commander of the army, and the quality of a film and television work is determined to a large extent by the director's quality and cultivation; the style of a film and television work often reflects the director's artistic style and character, and can better reflect the director's values in looking at things.
Before the advent of cinema, the emergence and establishment of the director's identity was very important compared to the long history of drama -- this at least shows that only after the various material and spiritual elements of drama have accumulated and developed considerably, the director needs to unify the various dramatic elements and organize the performance.
The first director recognized in the history of general theatre was the Duke of Meiningen in Germany. Before the birth of a director, the organization of performances was carried out by playwrights, experienced main actors or theatre managers.
As theatre itself has evolved, so has the definition of theatre director. Looking back at the history of theater in the 20th century, there is no doubt that the authority and role of directors have become increasingly important in theater performances.
At the end of the nineteenth century, the Lumière brothers in France created film art, and at the beginning of the twentieth century, John Baird in England created television technology, and the emergence of film and television made the director's re-creation based on film and television literary scripts, using montage thinking for artistic conception, writing storyboard scripts and "director's elaboration", including the conception of literary scripts, the grasp of the theme of the director's film and television works, the description of characters, the scheduling of scenes, and the determination of time and space structure, sound and picture modeling and artistic style.
Then identify and propose the selection of actors. According to the specific concept, the creative departments such as photography, actors, art design, sound recording, and composition are put forward, and the main creative personnel are organized to study relevant materials, analyze the script, concentrate and unify the creative intention, and determine the overall creative plan of film and television works.
The director also has to lead the on-site shooting and various post-production work according to the production plan arranged by the production department until the film and television works are all filmed.
Artistically, he did not obey the leader and obey the command, and the director was not the head of the film, the director's meaning was to organize one of the arrangers of the film and the instructor of the film, which was equivalent to the brigade counselor in the brigade and the instructor in the army.
"Throughout the director's journey, it is not difficult for us to find that calling the director by the soul or backbone is by no means an exaggeration, but a combination of reality. Chen Kexin talked eloquently.
"This year is a glorious year for Chinese films, and this year's competition is also a year worth remembering, we have director Ang Lee, who won the Oscar for Best Director, director Wang Meng, who created a box office record for Chinese films, and director Jiang Wen, who is persistent in literary and artistic narration, and director Er Dongsheng, who has always had delicate humanistic care in movies and likes to depict the true face of all kinds of people in society in movies. To be honest, all four of them are directors that I respect very much. β
He also said with emotion: "Speaking of which, how honored I was to win the best director last year, and when you see the four of them this year, you will find that if you don't improve, you will be eliminated, and speaking of directing is also a highly competitive profession." β
"Hehe......"
Chen Kexin, who has always been unsmiling, suddenly made everyone laugh with a cold joke.
But in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, no less than hundreds of movies are produced every year, and seventy percent of them don't even have a chance to be released, and among the remaining thirty percent, two percent hit the street at the box office and can't recover the cost.
Only 10% can barely make a little money, and not 5% can be sold big.
Even if you make a lot of money, you may not be able to win awards, so to sum up, the directors who can stand here are all coming from thousands of horses.
And this year, as I said before, "Lust and Caution" won all the awards, and "Painted Skin" earned all the box office. The two Chinese films have bloomed a lot of color and played a very important role in the rise of Chinese films.
Put aside the artificial hype, put aside the opposition between "Painted Skin" and "Lust Caution" thrown out by the media.
Strictly speaking, this year is indeed a glorious year, according to the experience of Wang Meng's later generations, now is the beginning of the rise of Chinese films.
The decade from 1997 to 2007 was a decade of loss for Chinese films. With next year's Olympics and the rise of China's economy, the spring of cinema has officially arrived.
Wang Meng spent nearly three years laying a foundation for the country, and this is the beginning of his future.
The directors are not stupid, they can see the rise of the mainland film market, and they can also feel that the future movies will be much easier.
"Painted Skin" broke through the 300 million mark, pulled down "Titanic", and the overall box office continued to increase, which is a clear sign, marking that the box office of Chinese films has begun to be strong.
Business and art aside. Secularly speaking, the box office is the first theme, if you don't have a box office, no matter how good the movie is, it's a sigh.
Only the income of Chiguoguo can allow more talents to join the film industry, and more directors can seriously think about how to make good movies.
Therefore, Chen Kexin's narration is being done, especially the directors and producers, who understand it.
And the clarion call for the rise is the commercial rise led by "Painted Skin", and it is also the literary and artistic take-off led by "Lust Caution".
"Lust and Caution" is a literary film, and the mainland got a box office of 160 million, and Ang Lee's honor and reputation are genuine.
To sum up, this time Wang Meng and Ang Lee can accept whoever wins the best director, even if it is double yellow.
In fact, Wang Meng is also looking forward to it, depending on how the organizing committee chooses, it is the choice of business and literature and art, which is definitely a problem.
Of course, Wang Meng's "Painted Skin" is not as simple as a simple business, and Ang Lee's literature and art are not literature and art that ordinary people can enjoy.
"The winner of the Best Director at the 44th Golden Horse Awards is ......"
Holding their breath, the stars were silent, not even trivial sounds.
Chen Kexin looked up at the audience and said loudly: "Wang Meng, from the film "Painted Skin""
After the announcement, I don't know what others think, but Wang Meng sighed, and Jinma chose a commercial leaning.
This is seriously different from the previous life, the previous life Jinma became more and more petty, resulting in few liking, that is, literature and art are too heavy, and calf protection is too obvious.
In short, fairness tends to literature and art, and fairness tends to Taiwanese directors.
And it just so happens that there are no movies in Taiwan that can be handled, and there are just a few directors like Ang Lee.
If a film award is not strong in itself, it must be fair? or it will only become more and more regressive.
In the previous life, Taiwan itself was not strong, and it still liked to protect calves, which led to more and more people looking down on it, but this life has changed. Wang Meng felt a little relieved.
Don't just think about it -- Taiwan's Golden Horse will decline if it falls, the rise of the Golden Rooster Awards in the mainland is good, the Hong Kong Film Awards are better like a woman with bound feet, and the rise of our awards in the mainland is good.
It's not like that, China is big, or Chinese films are big.
Only when there are many powerful awards can we meet the needs of more people and stimulate the sense of urgency of each award, and without a sense of urgency, there will be no motivation for progress.
Look at the United States, how many awards, how many award ceremonies, nearly a hundred.
This is the embodiment of prosperity, and only when competition is great, progress is great. It will also encourage more filmmakers to be encouraged, which is the progress of Chinese films.
Instead of competing with Hong Kong and Taiwan for domestic awards, it is better to work hard to resist the invasion of Hollywood, the Korean Wave and the Japanese Wave.
"Boom, la......" applause thundered!
"Congratulations. β
"Congratulations to Director Wang. β
This time, the applause was particularly warm and lasted for a long time.
Li An, who had a calm face, took the lead in getting up and hugged Wang Meng to congratulate him.
Tsui Hark, Jiang Wen, Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei and others stepped forward one by one to hug and shake hands.
"This direction is very clear, it seems that I also want to pay equal attention to business and art, and make money first. When Jiang Wen and Wang Meng congratulated, they said something in Wang Meng's ear.
"You can ask me to invest. Wang Meng replied quietly.
"No problem. "Jiang Wen
"I'm more confident about working together next year. Tsui Hark said.
"Me too. β
"I invite Director Wang to come to the stage. On the stage, Lan Xinmei saw Wang Meng talking with a few people around her, and reminded her.
Wang Meng walked onto the podium and took the trophy handed to him by Chen Kexin.
"Pleasantly surprised, very happy, um! unexpected, of course. In short, it is difficult to say. After Wang Meng took the trophy, he didn't know what to say for a while.
Indeed, compared with the art of "Lust and Caution", "Painted Skin" is far, far behind.
Perhaps not only the commercial victory of "Painted Skin", but also the organizing committee saw the core of the combination of Chinese and Western styles in "Painted Skin", and the emergence of this theme made the organizing committee see the driving force for Chinese films to go global.
Perhaps there is a lot of reason for this, so as to encourage Chinese filmmakers to make bold breakthroughs.
"Thank you to the Golden Horse Organizing Committee, thank you, and thank my good friends Ang Lee, Jiang Wen, and Er Dongsheng. I will not hypocritically say thank you for your humility, that would be disrespectful to you, to me, and to the organizing committee. I'm just saying - thank you for being my opponent and for not daring to slack off. β
Whoa......
Wang Meng's eloquence has been getting better and better recently, and what he said is very useful to everyone.
"Thank you to all the fans who supported me, thank you to my company Dream Factory, thank you to all the staff of the crew of "Painted Skin", thank you to my family, my parents, and my sister, thank you to my beloved Jiang Shuying, thank you to my school for playing, thank you to ......"
A series of thanks, Wang Meng will never be left behind, especially the dispensable school.
Speaking of which, Wang Meng is still a student. So, wherever there is gratitude, you will never forget to go to the play.
This move made the leaders of the drama very useful, who is not happy to have such a respectful student?
"Director Wang, the final director was obtained by you, what do you have to say?" Lan Xinmei interviewed.
Wang Mengyi waved his hand and cried and laughed, and said: "There is really nothing to say, I even want to criticize some boring media." My relationship with director Ang Lee has always been very good friends, and you can see what these media say, it has become a sad person to see each other in life and death, boring, boring, too boring. β
Ha ha......
'Brother Meng' has always liked to pretend to be forced, and this time it started again, and he began to criticize the media again, anyway, it was not the first time.
"Of course, without them, our work would not be well known, and we have to thank them for that. Wang Mengwaner said.
The host of the blindfolded circle was speechless.
"Movies always have to be tested by the market, there are no losers, only those who don't care. It's my honor to get it, and it's very comfortable to lose it. In short, thank you to the Golden Horse Organizing Committee for your fancies, thank you. β
After speaking, Wang Meng raised the Golden Horse Trophy.
In the applause, Wang Meng walked off the podium.
And after winning the Best Director, Wang Meng knew that the biggest award, {Best Feature Film Award}, had nothing to do with himself.
Outcome!
"Won the 44th Golden Horse Awards, and the best feature film is "Lust and Caution". β
"Congratulations to Lust and Caution...... Congratulations to director Ang Lee...... Congratulations ......"
"Boom la la ......" drowned in applause......
