Looking back, Duan Zihao's first work as a director "The True Story of A Fei" has been filmed. =, a little bird without feet, makes me pity and cry. ”

"Having said all that, the last thing I want to say is. Duan Zihao didn't become an actor this time, but changed his career to become a director, his first play did not choose those copper-smelling commercial films, but a high-rise art film, and the surprise he brought me was absolutely as shocking as the French discovered the Egyptian pyramids. ”

"Here, I want to say to Mr. Duan Zihao, you are a genius, a genius in the film industry; I used to think you were a grandstanding clown. Now I know that the person who misunderstood you is me, and in the field of art, you have come to the forefront of many of your peers. Come on, King! ”

The title of this article is "A Letter to Mr. Duan Zihao".

On the day the comment was posted. Many film critics have also expressed their opinions on this drama like "following the post".

Their views are similar, but one thing is very certain, Duan Zihao has created a Babylonian-style film in the field of art films, and the appearance of "The True Story of A Fei" is definitely worth pondering.

Hong Kong is a metropolis where East meets West. It is also a cultural mecca for the diligent pursuit of art. Perhaps because of the small size of the place and the barren culture, many Hong Kong people have an inexplicable desire for art. It's like a country that doesn't produce abalone bird's nest. But these things are rushed, but these things are so precious that only a few people can afford to consume them.

The same goes for art films, which seem to be very popular in Hong Kong, but because of the depth of art, only a few people can appreciate them. And this is also the reality that Hong Kong art films have a big gimmick, but the box office is very bad.

Only a few outstanding art films can gain the love of the public and make a lot of money at the box office.

As mentioned earlier, Duan Zihao didn't plan to make money from this drama at the beginning, in his plan, this drama is going to the Hong Kong Film Awards, making the box office is secondary, and the most important thing is to win the award.

But fate played a joke on him, and now the Academy Awards haven't been seen, but the box office is still going up.

Of course, compared with the commercial films he shooted, which often cost tens of millions, the box office results of this "The True Story of A Fei" can only be described as "pitiful", but for many directors who are also fighting art films, his drama is completely shit luck, and the box office is a mess!

Half a month after the release of "The True Story of A Fei", the total box office totaled 3.56 million.

According to this result, the cost has been roughly recovered, and the next time is the time to make money.

At the same time, newspapers and magazines that were originally petty have also increased their coverage of this play.

Many experts and scholars who hope that others will see that they have a deep understanding of art have used this play to express their views and opinions on "art".

In their opinion, "The True Story of A Fei" is a good carrier, and they can use this carrier to expound their understanding of art.

And ordinary audiences don't care about this, for them, the director who filmed this play is simply Picasso in the film industry, whether it is the lines or the structure of the play, it is too profound, so that many of them can't understand it, and some people come to admire it, but in the end they almost fell asleep in the cinema.

So these viewers couldn't help but complain in the newspaper.

"What a garbage movie, apart from the petty bourgeois lines, I don't see anything that surprises me. The hazy scenes, the deliberate dialogue, and the sleepy music, I want to say, Duan Zihao's play is terrible! ”

Another audience member said, "Although I don't understand art, I know that art is also good and bad, but the current "The True Story of A Fei" really makes me unable to distinguish between good and bad." The only thing I remember is a line from the pickled girl in it, 'You were with me one minute before 3 p.m. on April 16, 1960, because you and I will remember this minute.' Now, I would like to say to the director of this play, Duan Zihao, that on February 28, 1984, one minute before 8 p.m., I was watching your play, because this play is so boring, and I will remember this minute. When are you going to make a lively film and return it to me? ”

It is precisely because of this kind of positive and negative sides that the comments are polarized that the drama "The True Story of A Fei" has attracted more people's curiosity.

……

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

This first directed work of Duan Zihao, who hung the title of literary film, officially ended with a box office of 12 million.

The literary and artistic films with an investment of more than 3 million yuan have collected more than 12 million at the box office, directly breaking the highest box office record for Hong Kong literary and artistic films.

You must know that before this, the highest box office holder of Hong Kong literary films was Xu Anhua's "Running to the Angry Sea", which invested 3.8 million yuan and was filmed on site in Vietnam, known as a model of literary films. The final box office was only 8.7 million, but "The True Story of A Fei" threw it far behind the buttocks.

In this play, Zhang Guirong's acting skills have been deeply excavated by Duan Zihao, and Liu Dehua's appearance has also added a lot of color to this play. The most important thing is that Duan Zihao took the first step as a director, and jumped up and down in the literary and artistic world in one play.

Just when the entire actor entertainment was about to celebrate this, another good news came, the Hong Kong 84 Academy Awards threw an olive branch, and the actor entertainment won the best cinematography with this "The True Story of A Fei". Nominated for six awards for Best Actor, Best Director, Best Editing, and Best Music, Best Screenplay!

This news was like a bomb that directly blew up the whole of Hong Kong.

Duan Zihao's new drama "The True Story of A Fei" was shortlisted for the Golden Statue. Six awards shocked Hong Kong! ”

"The True Story of A Fei was a big hit at the box office, and it was even more favored by the golden statue!"

"Duan Zihao's first drama is a big hit, and the box office awards are won with both hands!"

……

The Hong Kong Film Awards, as the highest award in the Hong Kong film industry. For countless Hong Kong filmmakers, it has always been the existence of the highest awards, and those who can laugh at the golden statue. The filmmaker who has won the highest glory of the Golden Statue is a god-like existence.

In fact, Duan Zihao is very aware of the history of the Hong Kong Film Awards, which was founded by "Film Fortnightly" in 1982, and did not expect that the Academy Awards would become the most important and authoritative film event in the Hong Kong film industry in the future. It has not only become the "Oscar" in the minds of Hong Kong filmmakers, but also the most concerned event in the Chinese film industry, and there are countless Chinese people behind it.

Compared with many film awards in mainland Taiwan and Taiwan, although the Hong Kong Film Awards have some geographical restrictions, because of the lack of a certain consciousness and form of bonding, they can often focus more on the balance between business and art in the evaluation, so the general Academy Awards can include most of the excellent works and characters.

In particular, many art films will be loved by the judges at the Academy Awards, and then shine, because everyone is trying to do one thing, that is, to tell the world that Hong Kong is not a "cultural desert", and art films are the best proof of this oath!

Therefore, it can be said that the Hong Kong Film Awards has spared no effort to support art films, especially the six nominations for "The True Story of A Fei" this time.

But for many people, no one thought of a miracle, and Duan Zihao himself didn't expect that he would be directly shortlisted for six awards with this play.

In fact, Duan Zihao didn't know, because of his unintentional insertion, and because his fame was too great, "The True Story of A Fei" became eye-catching from obscurity, although many people can't understand it, but it is very popular with the petty bourgeoisie generation in Hong Kong. That's why the box office is so successful. And the success of the box office has driven the attention of the Hong Kong Film Awards to this drama.

In short, Hong Kong, a metropolis where commercialization is ubiquitous, pure art films also need commercial profits to influence and package.

Undoubtedly, the good box office of "The True Story of A Fei" made it a fact that it received six nominations.
