Chapter 0213 - CULT Film Director

Ding Hui, a leader in the sixth generation of directors in Huaguo.

At the age of 18, she was admitted to the directing department of Huaguo Film Academy, and at the age of 22, she made a literary film "Pompom" that reflected the beautiful love of her college days.

"Pom-pom" later participated in the selection of the Asian Film Festival, and Ding Hui was selected as one of the "Top Ten Future Film Drivers in Asia", and is considered to be a representative of literary films among the sixth generation of Chinese directors.

At the age of 24, Ding Hui's second work, which was silent for two years after graduation, changed his style, and filmed a crime-themed film "Strange", which tells the strange story of three criminals who meet together by mistake and calculate each other.

The story of this film is complex, the structure is exquisite, and it is quite in the style of the famous director Quentin Tarantino in the previous life, and it caused great controversy as soon as it was released.

It was from this film that Ding Hui revealed her true style.

The theme is weird, the story begins with a surprising sequence, the plot is off-edge, the shooting technique is unique, and there is a strong personal point of view in the style.

This kind of film is called CULT film in the film circle, and it is often respected and affirmed in small circles.

Ding Hui's transition from a literary film to a cult film is shocking, but she was nominated for Best Director at the Huaguo Film Awards for the first time with this film.

At the age of 27, Ding Hui made a third work. This time her style is more pronounced.

The first is a campus youth literary film, the second is a crime-themed CULT film, and the third is actually turned into a ghost movie.

"Ghost Courier" was the third place at the box office of Chinese movies that year, telling the story of a ghost courier who delivered a courier at midnight, the story was full of violent scenes, and it was hard to imagine that the director was actually a woman.

But such films have sold high box office, and "Huaguo Film" magazine even wrote an article saying that Ding Hui may change the image of CULT films in the minds of Chinese people and bring niche tastes to the public aesthetic system.

At the age of 30, that is, in 1997. Her fourth solo work "Kill You" was released, which once again set off a wave of CULT films.

Four works, from a literary young woman to a CULT film director with a distinctive style, Ding Hui's work output is not high. Every work can cause controversy and craze, and he is the most topical, controversial and eye-catching star of the sixth generation of directors.

After Zhou Lin was reborn, he had a lot of understanding of the unique literary and artistic works in this life, Ding Hui is a director who has never heard of this life in his previous life but is famous, and Zhou Lin has also watched several of her works, and likes the violent scenes in her movies, black humor, soft **** and distinctive personal style.

He really didn't expect it. I was able to meet Ding Hui on such an occasion, and Ding Hui was actually Du Wei's wife!

No wonder Du Wei calls himself a literary and artistic youth, no wonder he wants to invest in movies, he has such a wife!

Zhou Lin saw a photo of Ding Hui on the news, and he looked generous and dignified.

The Ding Hui in front of her is much more lively than in the photo, she doesn't look like she is thirty years old, but more like a female student who has not graduated from college.

"Hello sister-in-law, I'm your fan. I've seen your "Bizarre", "Ghost Courier" and "Will You Kill You". Zhou Lin said very sincerely. This is not a compliment. He has always been a fan of CULT films, and he really likes Ding Hui's works, just like in his previous life, he liked Tarantino, Kim Ki-duk, Park Chan-wook, and the Coen brothers.

"Nice to meet you. Ding Hui is very polite, but she also shows a sense of alienation, as if she has long been accustomed to hearing too many compliments on weekdays.

"My friend is not an ordinary person, he can write novels and songs!" Du Wei posed as a big brother in front of everyone else, but in front of his wife, he seemed to be a child who had to show off when he bought a new toy. Said very proudly.

"Oh?" Ding Hui became interested, "It turns out that he is still a talent, what novels and songs have you written, maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”

Zhou Lin smiled and said, "I have written martial arts. Now also writing novels online. A while ago, I serialized a martial arts novel called "Liancheng Jue" in "Wuxia Weekly", and recently published a Xianxia novel "Zhu Xian" in Chunwen Publishing House......"

"You wrote "Liancheng Jue"! Are you flying in the clouds?" Ding Hui shouted, interrupting Zhou Lin's words.

Zhou Lin was stunned: "Sister-in-law knows me?"

Ding Hui was surprised and delighted: "Are you really flying after the clouds?"

"The real thing, like the fake. Zhou Lin said.

"I've been looking for you, but I didn't expect you to send it to the door by yourself!" Ding Hui really deserves to be a director, and her speech is very dramatic.

Du Wei listened in confusion. I couldn't help but ask: "What chase what clouds and what fly, do you know?"

Ding Hui grabbed his arm and said, "You stupid, he is the martial arts novel writer I said, the person I want to know!"

Du Wei suddenly realized: "What a coincidence!"

Zhou Lin was a little curious: "Sister-in-law, what are you looking for me for?"

"I'm currently working on a revenge-themed movie script, and after watching your "Connecting Cities", I think this is a very wonderful revenge story, and I can't help but want to get to know you and communicate with you. Ding Hui said excitedly.

"A revenge-themed movie?" Zhou Lin smiled, "I really have my own understanding of this theme, if my sister-in-law doesn't dislike it, I'm willing to provide you with some material." ”

"Really! That's great!" Ding Hui smiled.

There are many stories of revenge, the most famous Zhou Lin also likes "The Count of Monte Cristo", and there are many classics of revenge in the movies of his previous life, and the first thing that flashes in Zhou Lin's mind is the "revenge trilogy" of the director Park Chan-wook, whom he likes very much.

"I Want Revenge", "Old Boy" and "Kind Gold", especially the second "Old Boy" are the most classic, but the seemingly absurd story has a profound description of life, ethics, love and psychology, bringing people extreme psychological challenges.

The style of Ding Hui's film is somewhat similar to Park Chan-wook in a sense, and if there is a chance, it is also a good opportunity to use Ding Hui's hand to show the "revenge trilogy" to the world of this life.

More importantly, Zhou Lin can also take this opportunity to really enter the film and television industry and plug in before the great development of the film industry. (To be continued.) )
