"We usually say that artists are very sensitive to life and human nature, do you think that's the case?"

Xu Zhiyuan wants to direct the topic in the direction he likes, such as elites, such as human nature!

Intellectuals, for example, like to discuss these two topics.

"In a sense, because of the current movie atmosphere, people pay more attention to the box office!"

I picked up the teacup again and took a sip: "I'm glad that my aesthetics coincide with most of the audience, and I'm glad that my truest self has always been hidden deeply!" ”

"The truest version of yourself?"

"Actually, I'm a cut-movie lover, I'm obsessed with plasma, I want to be unique, I want to be cult! That's the truest idea of myself, and I used to think that if I wasn't born in China, but in the United States or Europe, you wouldn't see me make comedy! But no, you were born in China, and as a Chinese filmmaker, you shouldn't think about that! ”

"But you said you hate movies about the nature of human nature?"

β€œβ€¦ It's not a contradiction, even if I make a cut film, there will be an unexpected and reasonable ending, for example, I have plans to make a horror film with Fuji Xun, which is to tell a story of seven days of soul in the form of comedy. ”

"Is it an online movie?"

"Yes, because the restrictions on online movies are not as strong as theatrical movies."

……

"I discussed with Ma Dong whether intellectuals should accept or criticize the torrent of the current era, and I feel that you should accept it, right?"

"Accept it! Gu Cheng once said: China is a nation that understands too well, since Lao Tzu said that "heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs", they have realized that the universe has no affectionate connection with them, and people are just accidental phenomena in the universe, infinitely small, and there is no difference between knowing and not knowing, and the conclusion has long been made, and the rest is just to deal with this small part of life in the world. You see, we know the truth, and it is written in the books. ”

"When I was in high school, I really liked Milan Kundera's saying that life is elsewhere, but as you slowly enter society, you will find that many things are different from what you expected!"

Xu Zhiyuan interrupted Xiaobai's conversation: "What you expected is different, can you give an example?" ”

"For example, respect, respect each other, but anyone who has been to elementary school knows that this is right, but once I was on the show, I felt that my bottom line was repeatedly provoked, and there was no way, so I fought back, and then almost disappeared from the circle..."

"Are you talking about Taibai?"

"Yes, that incident had a great impact on me, because before the recording, I had already told the program team not to interview my family part, especially my mother, because I was born, my mother went to pursue her own life, and I didn't see her until I was twenty-three years old, so I didn't want to mention her, but Teacher Taibai mentioned it repeatedly, and even said that I had a psychological disorder, and asked me to forgive her..."

Pursing his lips, Xiaobai finally said the sentence that he had been holding back for several years: "Isn't this sick?" Why should you demand your own morality from others? Afterwards, I also asked the TV station to expel me and let me withdraw from the comedian competition, if it weren't for director Shi Jianing's protection, I might not even be able to participate in the farewell competition, just because I am an insignificant person and can be at her mercy! ”

"There are a lot of such seniors in the circle, so I have to restrain myself, I believe that everyone is an idealist before they really enter the society, but our society has its own rules, I can only put myself in a high position at most, respect everyone, but I have no right to ask others to do the same!"

"Do you feel a conflict?"

Of course, people who do comedy are essentially sad, they are infiltrated into life, and they must digest and understand what they see and hear into the movie. The darkness of this society, the collusion between officials and businessmen, I have seen too much, there was an investor who talked to me about the project before, he said that as long as I signed, he could get at least 300 million income, I asked him where the money came from, he said that he had discussed with the local government, in my name to apply for the construction of a film and television city, declare 1 billion, the actual only need 400 million, the extra 600 million, everyone equally! ”

"When a person is in the dark, it will inevitably affect his own thoughts, so no matter what he does, he must leave a glimmer of light in his heart. What's your glimmer? ”

"It should be family, when I was filming the wind and waves, I called my dad every day, and my dad told me that when I had a lot of thoughts, I would write and copy Buddhist scriptures, and I did it!"

"Does it work?"

β€œβ€¦ It's okay, at least you can take a break from those things for a while and work on creation with peace of mind! ”

……

Lighting a cigarette, the two began to swallow the clouds and puff out the fog.

Xu Zhiyuan asked, "What kind of person are you?" Do you evaluate yourself? ”

Spit out the smoke ring, Xiaobai thought seriously: "Madman!" ”

"Maniac?"

"I'm crazy, I know what I do to meet most people's ideas, I chat with people, I can figure out what kind of person the other party is in a few words, sometimes I'm willing to meet peace, sometimes I deliberately don't say it!"

"So, you think you're a very smart person?"

"I'm not smart, but I can say that I have a certain talent for understanding people's hearts!"

Xiaobai gave an example: "For example, I was writing a script for Lu Ding Ji recently, and I wrote a sentence in it, why should the Heaven and Earth Society hold high the slogan of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty..."

"Why?"

"Because most of the people who have read books and are sensible have already become officials in the Qing court. So if we want to fight against the Qing court, we have to use some stupid people. To deal with those stupid people, you must never tell them the truth, you must use religious forms to hypnotize them, so that they feel that what they are doing is right, so "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty" is just a slogan, and it is actually the same as "Amitabha Buddha". The Qing Dynasty has always oppressed us Han people and robbed us of silver and women, so we want to oppose the Qing Dynasty.

β€œβ€¦β€

Xu Zhiyuan was a little speechless, looking at Bai Xiaofei, he didn't know what to say, and then he changed the subject: "Is there a director you particularly like?" ”

"Zhang Yimou, I admire him very much, let's put it this way, I just embarked on the path of director because of Zhang Yimou!"

Xu Zhiyuan was surprised: "... Do you worship Zhang Yimou? I always thought you would like a director like Wang Jiawei! ”

Xiaobai was a little curious: "Why do you have this opinion!" ”

"Because you're all genius directors!"

β€œβ€¦ Wang Jiawei may be a genius director, but I'm not, it's impossible for me to make any movie without considering the audience, investors, and actors, so I will think a lot. Zhang Yimou's movies, his personality is quite admirable! And he has always been at the forefront of all Chinese directors, which can't help but be admired! ”

"Would you consider making a serious film?"

"No, even if I do, I'll show it in an interesting way! Purely serious themes, the audience will not like it, I will never do thankless things, this may be the biggest difference between our generation of directors and the previous generation of directors! ”

"Also, I think comedy is not inferior to works with serious themes, commercial films are not inferior to literary films, and deliberately belittling any genre is a prejudice! I don't understand why some directors think that movies with serious themes are naturally one level higher than ordinary commercial films, it doesn't make sense, is Avatar a serious movie? Was Titanic a serious movie? ”

Talking about this, the topic has already flown to the point where I don't know where...

Xu Zhiyuan wrote down a bunch of things in his notebook, and then looked at Bai Xiaofei: "Then that's all for today, I just took a look, you will have an announcement later..."

β€œβ€¦ Publicity period, no way... When I come back from Cannes next year, we'll talk again! ”
