Chapter 5 Re-examination

On February 13, 1997, the re-examination of the Department of Literature officially began.

There are already very few candidates who take the exam for the second exam, only 2oo people. The exam is taken in a single screening room, rather than being spread across multiple exam rooms like the first exam.

Wang Qinian looked around at the candidates around him, and thought to himself, after the retest, how many people can enter the third test?

At half past eight in the morning, the exam officially began.

The invigilator put the exam papers, and the exam questions were - film analysis and writing, the film "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit". Candidates are free to write essays around this movie, with no restrictions on the subject matter and length.

When the movie began to be screened, many candidates had different expressions.

Some people, like Wang Qinian, are happy to see this movie, but most candidates are a little nervous or depressed if they haven't seen this movie.

Visually, only about thirty percent of the candidates are full of confidence, and they should have seen this movie.

Wang Qinian is obviously one of the prepared candidates who watched this movie in advance.

Before the movie was over, Wang Qinian began to write hard:

“…… Overall, "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" is another Chinese film directed by Zhang Yimou for foreigners.

Why do you say, 'another'? Because, this kind of award-winning film has been strictly routine and formulaic in my eyes, as long as you follow the 'formula' to shoot, there is a certain level of Chinese director, and it caters to the aesthetics of this part of the specific judges and audiences, it is very easy to win the award.

According to my analysis, the common feature of many Chinese films winning awards overseas is that it is particularly easy for Chinese directors to win awards for works shot by Chinese directors and used to discredit China...... Of course, these are all off-topic. In addition to depicting some backward aspects of China and discrediting China, "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" is still a good movie! ”

Wang Qinian bit the pen, knowing that the unspoken rules of some overseas award-winning movies were hacked at the beginning of the movie, not for the purpose, but just to show off the sword and let the examiner know that he has his own views and opinions on the film industry.

The text behind should be a praise for Zhang Yimou's movie, after all, Zhang Yimou is a signboard of Beiying. If Zhang Yimou's penny is worthless, it is equivalent to slapping Beiying in the face. No matter how talented such a student is, Beiying will not accept it.

...... "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" vividly describes the social outlook of China in the early 10s, and the movie can objectively understand some of the social aspects of the early reform and opening up, almost a social panorama similar to the Qingming Riverside map. It's just that the Qingming Shanghe map depicts a large city in ancient times, and "Qiu Ju" depicts a countryside and a small county town. The vision of Qiu Ju, the protagonist of the movie, almost has a full view of the grassroots appearance of the countryside and the county town in the early 9o......"

However, Qiu Ju's constant petitions have also exposed a problem - China's grassroots level is still a humane society, and both law enforcement officials and the masses have a very weak sense of the law.

This depiction of China's 'ugly' side will help win the film award. But it is harmful to the overall image of our country, and it is not the honor of one or two film awards that can be remedied.

For example, when Koreans make film and television works, they will only shoot good ones, handsome men and handsome women, and all kinds of beautified and embellished unreal scenes. If you want art, you don't have art, and if you want acting, you don't have acting. However, they relied on the assembly line to launch idols, so that the Korean Wave gradually rose, and it has the potential to replace Hong Kong and Taiwan and become the vane of Asian pop. After going to South Korea, now they are very fake, and they can't reflect the real Korea. However, this kind of boasting and whitewashing has huge economic benefits.

Hallyu films and television works broadcast overseas will create a positive image of foreign fans towards Korea, and then become soft advertisements for Korean consumer goods. Clothing, cosmetics, furniture, mobile phones, televisions, automobiles and many other products, as a result, have received huge economic benefits.

Hollywood is also beautifying American technology and modernization in movies, so their films are not only culturally influential, but also increase the overall influence of national products.

Due to the limited examination time and the length of the article, I cannot comment on such a big topic as the film market for the time being. Let's move on to the movie "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" itself.

The main line of this movie is that Qiu Ju keeps petitioning to sue the village chief. And the dispute is not a big grudge, but only a battle of will.

The cause of the conflict was that Qiu Ju's family illegally built a spicy building in the field, and the village head, as a grassroots cadre of the state, must do his duty to stop this behavior. And in this process, there was a quarrel between the two sides, Qiu Ju's husband insulted the village chief, saying that his behavior was 'no son and grandson', therefore, the village chief became angry, and the two began to have a direct physical conflict, that is, a fight, and in the process of fighting, he went too far and kicked Qiu Ju's husband's lower body.

It is illegal for the Qiu Ju family to build a spicy house in the field, and the act of beating people by the village chief is certainly also illegal, and the use of illegal acts to enforce the law shows that the legal awareness of grassroots cadres in our country is weak.

Qiu Ju defended her rights for the first time and went to the public security bureau to report to the police, and the public security police made a judgment on this, and the village chief compensated 2oo yuan for medical expenses and lost work expenses, and apologized to Qiu Ju's husband.

The village chief accepted the police's financial compensation verdict but refused to apologize. And, put the 2oo yuan still on the ground and let Qiu Ju pick it up.

Qiu Ju thought that the village chief's behavior was insulting his personality, but refused to accept it, but continued to petition, asking for an explanation.

In the next plot, Qiu Ju kept petitioning, going to the town, county, and city to petition. On the road, there are car fares, accommodation expenses, and they pay a lot of economic costs in order to get an explanation.

Of course, the doctors, public security, officials, and lawyers that Qiu Ju met in the movie can all say that the good people, including the village chief, have not abandoned the purpose of 'serving the people'. Qiu Ju met the worst person, probably the tricycle driver who pulled the car, and also took a detour in the city in order to collect more money.

The drama conflicts one ring after another, it can be seen that Zhang Yimou's skills as a director are high. Tightly cling to 'conflict', the most important element in the film's plot, makes the storyline, although very ordinary, not look dull at all.

However, this movie does not only have textbook-like 'dramatic conflicts', but also 'twists and turns' with Chinese characteristics. At the end of the plot, it is obviously a show of hands, with twists and turns.

It stands to reason that the village chief should hate Qiu Ju very much, because this person is constantly petitioning and preparing to deal with the village chief.

However, when Qiu Ju had a difficult birth in the film, most of the people in the village went out to watch the play, and the village chief carried Qiu Ju to the hospital in the middle of the night in the snow, regardless of his previous suspicions. Without the village chief, Qiu Ju's mother and son may be in danger of life.

At the end of the film, Qiu Ju and the village chief turned their rivalry into jade silk, and also gave up the idea of 'asking for an explanation', because she had actually forgiven the village chief. And when the child is full moon, he is ready to invite the village chief to drink wedding wine.

It was at this point that the movie took a dramatic turn - the village chief was taken away.

Because, Qiu Ju's lawsuit against the village chief in the Intermediate People's Court took effect, and the Intermediate People's Court sentenced the village chief to be detained for 15 days.

In the last scene of the movie, Qiu Ju kept chasing the police car in the snow, what was her mood, it was really interesting......"

In short, Wang Qinian clearly criticized the ideological mistakes of Zhang Yimou's "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit".

But for Zhang Yimou's level of directing the movie, he still praises it vigorously. Because, Zhang Yimou's film level was taught by Beiying.

After writing this article, Wang Qinian's heart was pounding - whether he could make the teacher appreciate it if he wrote it like this is a gamble!
