    ""Hero" is a martial arts blockbuster and the transformation of director Zhang Yimou's ten years of filmmaking. Today, for this movie, directors Zhang Yimou and Wan Xiaohu will talk about the present and future of Chinese-language movies for two whole days.  The dialogue between the acting directors will definitely spark more sparks of wisdom.¡± The host¡¯s words were full of flowers. After a few minutes of introduction, the filming documentary of ¡°Hero¡± began to be shown on the big screen.  The master¡¯s dialogue also started immediately under the guidance of the host.  "Director Zhang, how did you come up with the idea to change your filmmaking style and start studying martial arts? We don't remember you as this type of director?" Zhang Yimou shook his head: "Many people have always thought that I just like to make rural films, and don't  Others. In fact, I like martial arts very much, and I was a martial arts fan for the first time. It was called "The Eagle Claw King" and there were 17 characters in it.  I still remember it. I also read other books, such as Jin Yong's and Gu Long's. Jin Yong's books are more traditional and chapter-like, while Gu Long's is more powerful." After a pause, Zhang Yimou continued: "Since I started working as a director.  , I have always wanted to make a martial arts film. Three years ago, I started looking for someone to write a script. At first I wanted to adapt a novel by Jin Yong or Gu Long, and then find someone to buy the copyright.  It didn't work, so I decided to revise it myself. It took more than three years to revise it. By the time we finished editing it and I was very satisfied with the script, Li Yu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" had already been released and won the award.  It was a huge success. We got up early and went to work late, and in the end people said I was following the trend and following others. "In fact, I think every Chinese director should have a martial arts dream.  It is an extension of Chinese kung fu and Chinese fairy tales. If you don¡¯t make martial arts movies, you would be embarrassed to say that you are a Chinese director. Now Teacher Zhang and Director Li Yu have realized their dreams.¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s it.  They all say they want to make martial arts movies. From the beginning to the end, many martial arts movies and novels have influenced us. "The host asked: "Director Zhang made "Hero" and realized his dream. What about Director Wan, have you ever thought about filming "Hero"?  "A martial arts movie?" "Haha, of course. I've been dreaming of making a martial arts movie for a long time, but now that I'm so gangster, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well." Wan Xiaohu shook his head.  "How do you say it's gangsterism?" the host wondered.  Zhang Yimou said: "What Xiaohu means is that he is now a bandit, grabbing box office and making commercial films. "Infernal Affairs" and "Butterfly Effect", these works of his have done too badly at the box office. Bandit style." "  Teacher Zhang still understands me." Wan Xiaohu said with a smile, "Martial arts films have been popular for a long time. By the time of Dongfang Invincible, martial arts films were no longer fresh.  Or go for blockbusters like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and go for real martial arts. But if you want to make good movies, you have to know what martial arts is?  "Master Zhang has realized Xia, I am still a little bit behind." Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "I have realized Xia. Many people always like to compare my film with Li Yu's "Xia".  Compared with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". But I think "Hero" is not just a martial arts film. I actually tell an oriental fairy tale that happened in ancient China. It is my story, and I understand it as "serving the country and the people."  , The Great One." The host asked again: "Director Li Yu is very popular in the West. Do you think the martial arts he shoots are the same as the martial arts you imagined? " Zhang Yimou said: "I  I don¡¯t understand the West. Unlike Li Yu, who has such a good positioning on the Western market and audience, I should ask Xiaohu about this. Xiaohu¡¯s "Butterfly Effect" is very successful." Wan Xiaohu said: "I don¡¯t know much about it either.  Let¡¯s say this is Li Yu¡¯s story. Every director has a different positioning for himself, or in other words, his plans for himself are different at each stage. For example, I try various genres now.  I work in commercial films because I hope to find my own niche. Many people say, Wan Xiaohu is a box office director. In fact, I don¡¯t like being labeled like this. I don¡¯t always make movies for the box office. I also have artistic pursuits.  , when your inspiration comes, you realize that it doesn¡¯t matter what you shoot, integrating your own feelings and characteristics is the basis for you as a director.¡± Zhang Yimou nodded: ¡°You are right, grasp your own.  Style is very important. People always like to say that I am a farmer, so I am a farmer director. Since the world is a big market, people also like to watch the films I make, which has changed a lot.  , let¡¯s not talk about the subject matter. This is the first movie that I feel your style., very cool and unique.  So I told Zhang Weiping that if Wan Xiaohu is no more than five years old, he must be at an international level. If you have a style, your movie will have a mind and soul.  " Wan Xiaohu nodded, a little touched. " When it comes to filming "Waiting Alone", or "The Butterfly Effect", or "My Sassy Girl", Wan Xiaohu still bases himself on the original movie, and at most changes some plots to make them more reasonable.  The styles of the movies are varied, and although they are all successful, after watching it, Wan Xiaohu discovered that there is no core that ordinary viewers can't find, but those who make movies can easily see the flaws.  When cooking, ordinary people may only think it tastes good or not, but gourmets can tell the ingredients, the cooking method, and which chef cooks the same thing. A director can make movies of various themes.  But there must be a context through which one's own emotions can be hidden. Art itself is the emotion of life. Without emotions, no matter how good the story is, it is just a pile of gorgeous words. Wan Xiaohu is a graduate of a major and knows how to make movies.  . You can really make the movie as you want, or the breakthrough in "Infernal Affairs", and learned to integrate your feelings, not just copying a original movie.  The international level is too far away, so I won¡¯t talk about it.  After I finished filming "Infernal Affairs", I went to make cartoons, and many people said that Wan Xiaohu had fallen into disgrace. It is embarrassing for you, a film director, to not make movies but to make children's films.  " Wan Xiaohu shook his head: "I have many reasons. For example, I plan to make animated movies in the future, and now I need to make technical reserves.  For example, I want to relax, and filming four movies in two years is very tiring.  In fact, there is another reason that I may not have felt before, I want to keep something.  "    "what?  "The host asked. "Some childishness and innocence. Just now Teacher Zhang said that I found my own style. I thought, what is style?  As a director, making a movie is a job that requires imagination.  Children's imaginations are very rich, because they still retain their innocence about the world. Director, you must also have this understanding. I didn't understand this before, but my subconscious may have noticed it, so I suddenly  I just want to make cartoons. I want to find this very abstract feeling.  " The host is a lecturer in the Department of Acting. He may be very good at acting, but not very familiar with directors. He asked: "What you said is very profound. In your opinion, what type of director is he?  change?  For example, an artist or an army leader?  " "The director is the soul of a play. We often say that movies are the director's art, because the movie is the director's visualization of a story or a paragraph of text. What he thinks of is what you see.  If you want to say he is an artist, yes, if you want to say he is a leader, yes, it is difficult to explain his soul-like important status.  "Zhang Yimou tried to explain. Wan Xiaohu added: "I more agree that the director is the one who weaves dreams.  " "Hey, yes, that's it, weaving dreams.  ""Hero" is the dream you weave, Director Zhang.  "The host said with a smile "In the following time, we talked about the director's function, the design of "Hero", the investment in Chinese-language blockbusters, and how to make domestic films go abroad. Zhang  It can be said that Yimou and Wan Xiaohu tried their best to create a dialogue between masters, which made the students fascinated. Zhang Yimou is a master. No need to say more. Although Wan Xiaohu is a fake master,  But he has more than ten years of future memories, and his words are often sharp and thought-provoking. After the two-hour talk, the audience burst into applause. Although the students had not seen the "Hero" movie, it was just about the director.  , the dialogue about the director¡¯s dream is worth the hard work. Chinese movies have been in decline for nearly ten years, whether it is Hong Kong movies, Taiwanese movies, or mainland movies. Now, Wan Xiaohu is emerging, and Zhang Yimou has gone to business.  , this conversation seemed to give people a glimmer of hope for the rise of Chinese-language films. ¡°The dream of Chinese filmmakers is soaring over Nortel!  " The next day, "China Film News" published a special comment on this dialogue. "Zhang Yimou talks to Wan Xiaohu, the fifth generation talks to the sixth generation, middle-aged people talk to young people, art masters talk to business masters, they talk about their dreams,  Looking to the future, this is a conversation for an era!  " "Zhang Yimou, a leader among China's fifth generation directors, has been nominated for two Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film, winner of the Golden Lion Award and the Golden Bear Award.?Won numerous awards at home and abroad, and is the absolute leader of Chinese films.  Wan Xiaohu, the standard-bearer of China's sixth generation of directors, is the Mainland director with the best commercial success in the new millennium. He leads the trend in every film he makes.  " " With dreams in mind, let two generations sit in Nortel, think about the art of film, and question the way out for the Chinese language.  Listening to the conversation between the masters, one can't help but feel that in the wave of the great era, thousands of ancient figures are still looking at the present!  " ""Infernal Affairs" allowed Wan Xiaohu to move from business to art. Can "Hero" allow Zhang Yimou to move from art to business?  Where do Chinese-language films go from here?  let us wait and see!  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
