I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 273 I have shown mercy! (34)

"Also, when those marketing accounts are reposting videos, please repost a little more. What's the point of cutting off the beginning and the end?
I was recommending the movie "The Yellow Sea" to my brothers in the live broadcast room at that time. What I said was that all of Jia Zhangke's movies combined could not compare to the shock and rough feeling that "The Yellow Sea" brought to me! "

"It's not that a director who makes unsuccessful movies and is not popular with the public deserves respect~"

"Some of our artists have one thing in common when it comes to photographing suffering: they used to photograph for foreign judges, but now they photograph for the urban bourgeoisie, not for the people they photograph! In other words, they photograph suffering not to serve the suffering itself!"

“Sometimes I wonder, do you want to tell the story of the so-called suffering of the lower classes, or do you just want to use the suffering of the lower classes to complete your story?
If directors like Jia really want to make good films about China's suffering, they might as well study the film and television works produced before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and really immerse themselves in the suffering you want to tell, feel their feelings, and express their voices.

Why was "The White-Haired Girl" so popular with the People's Liberation Army and the masses when it was performed in the liberated areas, and why did it make the soldiers so excited that they wanted to shoot the actors, while Director Jia's movie was ignored by the people you were trying to sympathize with?
It’s worth thinking about.

I have read a sentence: Many of our artists always have a problem, thinking that if they stand on a high place and look down at the lives of the lower classes, the people will be grateful. This in itself is similar to the "Oriental gaze" of the Western "Orientalism"!
Real thoughts from a post-95s person.

If you want to watch art films, "Blind Mountain" and "Blind Well" are both good, "The Piano in a Factory", "Happy" and "Hello! Mr. Tree" are also OK, and there is also "Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots" starring Mr. Zhao Benshan. I think "Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots" is the pinnacle of Chinese realist films - if my hometown is a road, I am a car, running and running, how happy I am! If my hometown is a big tree, I am a leaf, swaying and swaying, how happy I am... I am so happy! "

As soon as the Weibo post was published, it immediately became a hot topic!

Hu Xijin is just a media person. He is not at the same level as Shen Liang in terms of attention and number of fans...

And Shen Liang is an insider.

The key point is that Shen Liang did not put any accusations on anyone. All he said was one sentence: Jia Zhang is not capable!

He also cited: "The Yellow Sea", "The White-Haired Girl", "Blind Mountain", "Blind Well", "The Piano in a Factory", "Happy", "Hello! Mr. Tree" and "Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots"...

This left Jia Zhangke's fans speechless, and they could only reply in the Weibo comment section with "Jia Zhangke has won the Venice Golden Lion Award, and his talent is recognized by the world!"

Then, Shen Liang’s fans almost broke his defense by asking, “Why is the domestic box office so low?”

As for winning the Golden Lion Award, many fans posted pictures of "Evil Never Dies" - "Is Zhu Qianlong a traitor? Do I need you to tell me?" "That's different. He is a certified traitor by the Imperial Army!"

After posting on Weibo, Shen Liang continued filming...

I didn’t pay much attention to the subsequent online discussions.

At most, his remarks only confirmed that he did not like Jia Zhangke!

As for labeling him as a "little pink", to be honest, he doesn't really care. It's up to you to label him or not. And if you label him as a little pink, then... correspondingly, is Jia Zhang a traitor?
……

"Ah He, many things cannot be changed. Think about your family. They are all waiting for you outside, waiting for you to reform..."

"Wait for me what?
Should I wait until I become better here before returning? Or should I wait until I become as good as my brother?
From childhood to adulthood, everyone likes him! He is good at studying and good-looking; he is good at everything and very capable... so capable that I hate him!
They all said I was terrible and very bad;
But at least I'm still here, alive.

But what about my brother? He is so amazing. In his life, he only made one mistake, which was jumping from such a high place!"

"Ka... Good, passed!"

The crew of "Sunny Days" continued filming, filming Ah He's conversation with the psychological counselor...

Rao Xiaozhi was completely confident in the actors’ performances—for these shots, it is estimated that a group of young actors had rehearsed countless times in private…

All he has to focus on is the language of the camera - the first half of the film is cold in tone, and it gradually becomes warmer in the second half - and the language of the camera matches the character's situation.

Shen Liang came over, and Rao Xiaozhi asked, "What's wrong?"

"Director, are we really going to sing "Flower Heart" later?"

"…Don't you think this will make people feel touched?"

“…Then pay Wakin Chau the copyright fee.”

"Hmm..." It means that when Ah He was released from prison, his cellmates sang "Flower Heart" together...

This part is very touching. One netizen commented, "After listening to it, I also want to go to jail."

In fact, I chose "Flower Heart" because of the lyrics "Spring goes and spring comes again, flowers fade and flowers bloom again"...

Rao Xiaozhi sighed: "However, I really didn't expect that the chorus version of "Flower Heart" would sound a bit sad..."

"Because the original song is the Ryukyu folk song "Flower", the song itself is a bit sad... The lyrics are like this: 'The river flows, and I don't know where it will flow to; people also drift, and I don't know where they will drift to...'"

"By the way, no one is looking for you, right?"

"No...what's wrong?"

"You targeted Jia Zhangke on Weibo..."

"I'm not targeting him, I'm just telling the truth," Shen Liang said seriously, "...his movies are really not that good, and he has simply plagiarized in recent years. The most classic dance in the snow in "Mountains May Depart" is actually copied from Kim Hye-ja's dance in "Mother" directed by Bong Joon-ho...The key is that "Mother" has a plot foreshadowing, so the dance gives people a kind of crazy beauty, and "Mountains May Depart" is only left with madness..."

“…That can’t be said…”

"I'm just stating my opinion. I didn't even write the biggest truth!"

"what?"

Shen Liang waved his hand: "I really think that all his movies put together are not as good as "CJ7"! Zhou Xingchi, who was born in a poor area in Kowloon, Hong Kong, may have a deeper understanding, control and perception of the lives of the grassroots people than Jia Zhangke, who started from breakdancing and entered the film academy!

Rao Xiaozhi took a breath and said, "…Fortunately you didn't write it!"

"…Did Jia Zhang have any reaction?"

"I don't know," Rao Xiaozhi thought for a moment, "I guess he would be embarrassed to retort. You said you didn't like his movies..."

As the two were talking, Shen Liang's cell phone rang. He took a look... it was Ma Hao!

I guess it’s because of this Weibo post.

Well, he was overthinking...

The first thing Ma Hao said was, "'Nobody' has surpassed 1 billion today. Should we hold a celebration party?"

"…You can just ask the producer for this kind of thing, there's no need to discuss it with me…"

“Aren’t you the biggest producer?”

Shen Liang thought for a moment and replied, "...Then I'll ask the director what he thinks."

"Okay, call me later..."

Then she was about to hang up, and Shen Liang quickly asked: "Didn't you check Weibo?"

"Weibo? Are you talking about your criticism of Jia Zhangke?"

"Yes!"

“…It’s normal to make some criticisms…Besides, Ash Is Purest White is ugly to begin with…”
