Chu Qing continued: "The third part, "Love Now", was written and directed by Travis Finn. Because there are many people supporting it, prejudice is often more unscrupulous, and I like the courage and emotion in this story. " Um? People in the Chinese speaking circle were stunned, there are really foreigners commenting on it! Travis was even more surprised than Wu Qi. This was an independent film that was ignored in the United States, but it was recognized on the other side of the ocean. He came on stage in a daze, not knowing what to say: "Well, it's really surprising. I never thought about this result. I admire the openness and tolerance here. Homosexuals are discriminated against and supported in any country. , Uh ok, thank you again! " Five to three, there are two places left. The atmosphere off the court suddenly became tense. Movies are a common dream for everyone, and no one wants to leave empty-handed. "The fourth film, "Border Storm", was written and directed by Cheng Er. It is a rare police and gangster film. The chapter structure is very creative. I like a line in it very much. This is not a security issue, but an emotional issue. ¡± Following Chu Qing¡¯s description, Cheng Er strode onto the stage. He graduated from the Nortel Directing Department in 1999. He is not too young, but he has been lacking opportunities. Previously, I had only made one graduation short film and one feature film. This guy is relatively reserved and doesn¡¯t speak much. He simply said a few words of thanks. At this point, there is one last spot left. If it was tense just now, it's frozen now. In fact, when "Border Storm" came out, most people had given up hope, and only a few people persisted, silently thinking: There is still a chance, there is still a chance! "" Chu Qing also paused for a while, and finally said: "The fifth part, "The Return of the Great Sage"!" "Wow!" As soon as these four words came out, Tian Xiaopeng stood up, more powerful than the others before him. Be excited. "This is an animated film, and the script is not very complete. The reason why we chose it is not only the story concept and the aesthetic concept of modern people, but also this" Chu Qing waved his hand. Boom! The curtain lit up, and Tian Xiaopeng, who was stepping up the steps, was stunned as original sketches flashed across the screen. There are weird monkeys, ferocious monks, clumsy pig heads, handsome little monks, majestic Nezha, long-faced Erlang Shen These sketches are irregular and fragmented, including portraits, weapons, mounts, palaces, etc. There are differences before and after. The only commonality is the passion and sincerity contained in the pen tip and paper. Foreigners don¡¯t understand, but when they see it, it¡¯s Journey to the West, and they are amazed. Tian Xiaopeng lowered his head, not knowing how he got on stage. He took the certificate from Chu Qing, stood behind the podium, and said with a trembling voice: "Thank you, thank you! I, I started working on "The Return of the Great Sage" around 2004, and it's been 7 years now. It wasn't very popular back then. I understand, I just did it if I wanted to. After getting started, I realized that there were too many difficulties to overcome We lacked awareness, the technology could not keep up, and the market was not optimistic, but I just wanted to make our own animated film. " "Wow!" He choked up for a moment, but the audience burst into applause. ¡ After the five people presented the awards, there was a break, followed by Chu Qing¡¯s speech. A few minutes later, he appeared again. Mr. Fan and Mr. Zhou blinked at each other, just like the seven-minute stage at the Golden Horse Awards in a certain year. He seemed shy and was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "Actually, I have thought about the topic I want to talk about today for a long time. After much deliberation, I decided to talk about Chinese movies. Chinese movies have been around for more than a hundred years. It is not too long ago. To go into details, let¡¯s talk about our fifth generation first. They all experienced the catastrophe of the Cultural Revolution and returned to school after the turmoil. They systematically studied film knowledge and were in line with the subjective consciousness and reflective thoughts of the literary and art circles at that time. , formed the life accumulation and image style of the fifth generation. By the mid-1990s, the Cultural Revolution was just a childhood memory and did not exist. It is a painful experience. They grew up in the period of reform and opening up, and felt the collapse and establishment of new and old systems and new ideas. Therefore, the style of the sixth generation is one of scrutiny and confusion. Director Chen Kaige said: Everything is related to this. The experience of the creator is inseparable. I completely agree with this statement, but what I want to ask is, it has been more than ten years since the sixth generation, why no one has mentioned the concept of the seventh generation in the film and television industry or critics. ?¡± ¡°¡¡± He gave everyone some time to digest, and continued: ¡°There are many disputes in the industry. From my personal point of view, I don¡¯t think there will be a seventh generation in China for a long time, let alone one. There will be an eighth generation. First, you have to create a group of influential directors and a group of influential writers.Only then can we call it a generation. Lu Chuan always said that he was the seventh generation, Ning Hao was also recognized as the seventh generation, and Li Yu and Ma Liwen were not widely recognized. Secondly, these works must reflect the characteristics of the times and social patterns. For example, Zhang Yimou's rural areas, Chen Kaige's intellectuals, Jia Zhangke's small counties, and Lou Ye's marginalized groups. In other words, if you have never made a serious film, you cannot be classified as a generation. What do I mean by this? It¡¯s just that Chinese movies are divided. Before the sixth generation, there were traditional movies, and after that, there were new market movies. We used to use film, now we use digital, we used to use cameras, but now we can shoot with mobile phones. The barriers to entry in the industry are getting lower and lower. I don¡¯t have a distribution channel, so I can just throw it online. I don¡¯t know how to edit, but I have a lot of software that I can teach myself. I don¡¯t have any makeup, please, osplay is very popular now! This kind of liberalization and universalization of creation is the future trend. ¡°And with the current market development, there will be an environment where commercial films will take off in the future. The advantage is that hot money is pouring in, there are many opportunities, the audience is blind, and fame and fortune only happen overnight. The disadvantage is that the consciousness has been assimilated, and under the influence of film globalization, it has become more mediocre and without individuality. Why did I say there is no seventh or eighth generation? Just because we have no characteristics of the times and have lost the ability to think. These are the situations you have to face. To paraphrase a line from A Tale of Two Cities, we are heading straight to heaven, and we are heading in the opposite direction all by choice. " "" Everyone was listening quietly. Only the subtle sound of the camera recorded every frame of silence and lingering. Chu Qing walked from here to there, still standing upright, and continued: "I When I go to some places after I turn 30, people always tell me, Teacher Chu, please give some advice to the young people today. I said I haven't figured it out yet, how can I give advice to others? But today, I really want to say that I only came up with it after watching "The Return of the Great Sage". Tian Xiaopeng, if "The Return of the Great Sage" gets a bad reputation after its release, will you feel aggrieved? I've been brewing for seven or eight years and gone through so many difficulties, but you don't accept it? "He pointed down. "Uh yes! " Tian Xiaopeng nodded unnaturally. "Oh, don't be embarrassed, this is normal psychology. But what I want to say is that when making a movie, don¡¯t immerse yourself in your own hard work, let alone expect the audience to praise you for your hard work. Your sincerity is in your work, and the audience can feel it. That's your ability. If you can't feel it, it means you haven't worked hard enough. We respect this industry, restrain our selfishness, and must remember that we rely on our works to survive, not on the audience¡¯s understanding and tolerance. " Chu Qing looked at the young or calm faces below. Compared with the noisy and big-name activities outside, this place is like two worlds, simple and pure. 187 guests, 187 emerging filmmakers "Perhaps one day, you will become famous and stand at the top of the industry. You will be content with the status quo, or you will be satisfied." But no matter what, when you feel confused, confused, and don¡¯t know the way forward, I hope you can remember today, this light today" "Pop! " When the lights in the entire venue dimmed, it was pitch black. Then, a line of light that seemed to grow and grow in the darkness, slowly converging, came from behind Chu Qing. It was like a leader in the dark night, lonely and It was long and gentle, wiping across his outline, and pouring quietly into the venue. Everyone looked at the stage, their eyes intertwined with that person, and listened to his story in the dappled light and shadow: "There is a ceremony in Cannes, every movie. After the first-time entries are screened at the Lumi¨¨re Hall, a beam of light will shine on the creators. An Azerbaijani director told me that I would die for this light. This is the attention and respect for filmmakers, and for you, I hope this light can become your starting point. No matter when, where or what the situation is, the starting point will not change. I love movies. " (There are about two chapters left to finish) (To be continued.)
