Chapter 31: The Director's Threshold
The trailer of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" was announced yesterday, and in 24 hours, the number of hits exceeded 100 million.
There are already people who can't wait to predict another box office success for this film, and of course there are also people who are not optimistic, they think it is 'vulgar' as always...
It's normal, Xing Ye's version was introduced to the mainland in 93 and was rated as the most vulgar movie of the year by the mainland, and it was even rated as the worst movie of the year!
Even "Journey to the West" was called garbage by Xi*'an Film Products Factory, to the point of sneering. To this day, many old employees of Xi'an Studio recall that "I don't want to mention that script again!" ”
So, Xiaobai is ready for criticism!
After all, in the eyes of a group of experts, Qu Gao and Low are their favorites!
……
The annual ceremony of the Director's Association is known by many as the self-entertainment of the small circle.
In a sense, it is!
Circles of directors boast to each other ...
However, if you don't go, it means that you are not in the circle!
Xiaobai must go!
"I Am Not the God of Medicine" is very likely to win the honor of the film of the year, after all, the chairman of the final review is Zhang Yimou, and Lao Zhang's favorite is the work that is both literary and artistic, and can earn box office!
He is very similar to Ang Lee, these two have different film styles, but their concepts for movies are the most similar, they belong to directors who grasp both commercial literature and art, and they also take big steps, this kind of director is beneficial to the market, and blindly insisting on art may shrink the domestic film market.
It's just that in the future, Lao Zhang is not as sleek as Ang Lee, Ang Lee's business is more hidden, he still maintains his literary and artistic style, and is sought after by petty bourgeoisie.
At the beginning, Zhang Yimou said goodbye to the circle of the three major film festivals, closer to his own active behavior, and can even be said to be radical behavior, he repeatedly emphasized when he filmed "Hero" that the Chinese mainland market must rely on commercial films, and Taiwanese films engaged in art are dead!
There's nothing wrong with that!
In recent years, almost all of the mainland markets have been supplying Taiwanese and Hong Kong filmmakers...
Xiaobai came by herself, Yang Lan didn't get the nomination, she is not a director, the girl is thin-skinned, and she feels that participating in such a party is a bit of a hot topic...
Xiaobai won three nominations, Film of the Year, Screenwriter of the Year and Young Director of the Year...
At least the young director is stable!
His position is in the first row, and all the people present are seniors, and before the opening, Xiaobai has to bow every time he meets someone...
Depressed...
Li Shaohong sat next to him: "Later, you will come on stage and give a 4-minute speech, talk about the threshold of the director!" ”
“… No problem! ”
Li Shaohong is the president of the director association, she ordered it, and Xiaobai of course did it.
Of course, the president has her own considerations, and this annual ceremony of the Director's Association is broadcast live by Modu Satellite TV, and people want ratings.
Xiaobai is the ratings!
The acceptance speech on Weibo night has been viewed nearly 200 million times on the Internet!
It was jokingly called the most interesting acceptance speech by many netizens!
……
The opening scared Xiaobai!
Mr. Chen sang the opening song - "Shadow Yao 2017", the lyrics, bright and blind, Mr. Chen's face was greasy...
'2017 is very beautiful, the box office is close to 60 billion, sometimes I am worried that "Riding the Wind and Waves" is too much, and I am worried that "Blizzard is coming"...'
But singing such a song in front of so many people, you can't do it for Xiaobai anyway!
It feels like this awards ceremony is a bit like imitating the Oscars, but the imitation is not in place...
The first award awarded was the screenwriter of the year, and Zhang Ama didn't talk much nonsense and directly announced, 'The 9th Directors Guild's 2017 screenwriter of the year - "I Am Not the God of Medicine", Bai Xiaofei! ’
Xiaobai is thinking about how to say it on stage, how to make the directors here listen to it on the basis of being playful, he never thought that he would win the screenwriting award!
The five nominated films: "Love and Blind Date", "Carnival", "Blizzard is Coming", and "Old Beast" are all relatively pure literary attributes, and the things expounded are also very profound...
"I Am Not the God of Medicine", purely genre-oriented, such a script suffers a lot!
“… Ah, me? ”
Xiaobai came to the stage in a little panic and took the trophy and certificate handed by the award presenter.
"Thank you to the Directors Guild, thank you to the judges, several of the nominated scripts are very good, I think the reason why this award was awarded to me is not because of how much the script of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is... Outstanding, more because I introduced genre into the movie, so that the script creation became rule-based, by the way, I must say, this movie hacked our medical industry, and they didn't say they wanted to sue me, thank you very much, for providing space for film creation, thank you! ”
The audience applauded.
Xiaobai's words can be regarded as you talking to their hearts.
In the past few years, there have been a bunch of things that restrict artistic creation for no reason.
The sketch "Mulan in the Army" was boycotted, causing "The Comedian" to be suspended for one episode;
'Refuse to gamble and refuse table tennis' can also be criticized by a group of people, table tennis is sacrosanct?
Marriage is still so sacrosanct, and a bunch of people cheat after marriage!
After only a few minutes of sitting down, he had to get up again - he was also the young director of the year!
"Thank you Directors Guild, thank you judges... It's been four years since I debuted, and I haven't won a director award, this is the first time, I will keep it well, thank you for your recognition, thank you..."
Well, the first half hour has become Xiaobai's personal show.
Because the next thing is for him to go on stage and talk about the 'threshold of directors'...
……
"Okay, it's me again!"
The directors in the audience smiled in return.
"It's too sudden, Director Shaohong asked me to say a speech about the threshold of the director, I originally wanted to shirk it to Wu Jing, but then I took a look, and he didn't come!"
"Then I'll do it!"
"Why let me say it, I thought about it carefully, I'm quite representative, I studied acting, I became a director in my first play, some time ago, my photographer told me that he wanted to be a director, let me write a script for him, I asked him, do you know how to direct?"
"He said, if you lend me your assistant director, I will direct!"
"Then I gave him a raise..."
"You see, the threshold for directors is so low, as long as you can bring in a group of professional photographers, professional assistant directors, professional actors, and buy an existing IP, it seems that anyone can be a director!"
"Yes, the threshold to become a director is low, but the threshold to become a good director is high!"
"I guess there are many fans who watch a movie and will have a mentality: 'Fuck, it's okay, let me come!' And then, what did you shoot? "Dream Showbiz"? ”
"There is no sudden revolution in the film industry, it requires many people to be in awe and down-to-earth for many years. The creator is always a thousand times harder than a pure reviewer and a thousand times harder than a pure reviewer thinks. Movies can't be said with mouths, some experts can always find a point to attack the director, as if Chinese films have no direction without them, what are you? It's just a parasite in the film industry chain... Well, I'm kind of out of my temper..."
Everyone is laughing...
Of course they know about Bai Xiaofei vs. Dai Jinghua...
"Back to the topic, in the digital age, there is no threshold for directors! From shooting to post-production, a DV and a computer can be completed, and if you want to say that you are the director, you are! After all, it's just a position, and it doesn't need to be awarded by any unit. I've been in this industry for a few years, I've seen everyone, and some people can say that he's a director without understanding him, even if there is a cameraman here, you have to know the narrative technique, right? It's a mess too! ”
"It is impressive that the market has matured rapidly in recent years, and a large number of unqualified works and directors have been excluded!"
