This is not a thought note, this is indeed a book to relieve boredom.Everyone read it and read it, no need to extend and associate.If it's talking about turnips, it's turnips, don't think about trains or bears.The radish skin is usually considered useless, but the radish skin can also be elegant when mixed well.This is a plate of cold radish skin that can be elegant. I can't believe everything in this book is true.The reason is not as the author himself said, memory is like a piece of wood that has been pecked by insects with many holes, so it has to be filled with putty; rather, everyone has an instinctive timidity and dodge when facing themselves and their own history .Confucius was like this, Lu Xun was like this, and the author of this book is no exception.But the attitude and feelings of patching holes are real.When we stand in front of a man who has repaired the truth, we are not far from the truth.At least, patching is real.We see a carpenter or a bricklayer, standing in front of an old chest of drawers and an old house covered in cobwebs.Of course, facing all the old cabinets and old houses, stand all the carpenters and bricklayers in the world.But it is delicious and not expensive, just like we can experience the taste of radish heart and radish flesh after eating radish skin.

Feng Xiaogang is known as an extraordinary director, which is the difference between him and Confucius and Lu Xun.Therefore, we don't have to be as demanding on his occasional negligence and carelessness in the text of this book as we are on Confucius and Lu Xun.Let Confucius and Lu Xun stand in front of the camera, just like director Feng standing in front of the messy Chinese characters, he will lose his patience.Director Feng not only dislikes the complex uses of "阿", "育", and "赵", but also feels annoyed that "de", "di", and "de" appear in different occasions: what a fucking thing, this It's called the three powers stand together, and one of them can be piled up.What's worse than this is that Director Feng thinks that being a little alienated from individual words and things is a small part of life, which is irrelevant, as if it is impossible to embrace all human beings in life, so he repeatedly passed this burden of literacy on to me through the phone .Now that his book is finished, I share his relief.Don't look for anything in the world for now.

I met Feng Xiaogang through Wang Shuo.Wang Shuo is one of the few extraordinary writers I respect.There are also typos in his book.But in the last century, his subversion of Chinese discourse habits was no less than that of Lu Xun.Lu Xun was still in the "deep" China, but when he arrived at Wang Shuo, he was the first to jump out.In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, the first person to jump out of the circle is great.Lu Xun said that when he read the history of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, he read two words: cannibalism.I read Wang Shuo's novels over and over again, and I also read two words: don't pretend.Cannibalism is not terrible, but it is terrible to pretend after eating.

If one person pretends to be nothing, everyone pretends to be terrible.Pretend what should be pretended to be nothing, and pretend what should not be scary. The seemingly timid Pharaoh actually had a hard heart.To my surprise, in the new century, Wang Shuo also began to become deep. 20 years ago, how thick his words were. In any occasion, the density of his words was an independent kingdom that could not be penetrated by needles or splashed by water; now, Wang Shuo, who is in his 40s, suddenly fell silent just after halfway through a joke. I started to let go of it, let the joke go on by itself, or stop halfway without embarrassment.why?Did he shake hands with Lu Xun once, or did he suddenly wander into another world because of his emotional tail?

An extraordinary director, Feng Xiaogang has made seminal contributions to Chinese cinema.When I say that he has made a contribution, I do not mean that he has made several films that are popular with the audience, nor does it mean that his films are popular, legendary, or correspond to and appeal to the people's imagination, but that his films have created China. Another discourse system and narrative mode of the film.This is the huge difference between him and others.Just like Cui Yongyuan in front of the TV camera.Is it just "tell the truth" and civilian moderators?He subverted the way of speaking and attention habits of the entire Chinese TV.Motherland, mother, it would be nice if you had a few more people like this.

In recent years, Feng Xiaogang established a "Feng Xiaogang studio".It was first set in Beiying, and later moved to Atlantic New City.When I was in Beiying, a five-star red flag was planted on the door; when I arrived in Atlantic New City, I was greeted by the deep figure of a Western woman.When I went there occasionally, I found that no matter under the red flag or in front of Western women, there were always people coming and going, bustling.It seemed to me more like a country fair than a studio.People in the country market are pushing carts, carrying loads, with satchels and cloth bags on their shoulders; people who enter and leave the studio have a brave heart.Bravery is because they believe in the future; another meaning, the current film art, is still the thin water on the river after spring.

So far, I have cooperated with Feng Xiaogang 3 times.Once in 1993, because of Wang Shuo.At that time, Director Feng was wearing a red pullover and military trousers, with work photos of "Beijing Television Art Center" hanging around his neck day and night.Easy to be moved, easily excited, easy to drink, and easy to get angry.Walk with your head held high. Once it started two thousand years ago.After the Spring Festival, the two drank a case of beer together. At this time, Feng Xiaogang didn't hang anything around his neck; he occasionally wore flower glasses when reading books and newspapers.While looking up, he suddenly said to me: Zhenyun, I am getting old.Later we went to Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Chongqing and Cairo together.

After that he had a heart attack and stopped drinking.Once in 2003.At this time, Feng Xiaogang's body had recovered, and after the recovery, Feng Xiaogang was dressed very neatly all over his body.It was winter, and I had a bunch of keys hanging around my waist. He pointed to my waist and said solemnly: Take it off, like a team of accountants.At the same time I took off the keys, he began to hang a scarf around his neck, like a pseudo-old-school intellectual.Over a long period of time, cooperation has been accidental and inevitable.What's more important than this is that during the short-term cooperation, the process was pleasant, and Feng Xiaogang was full of middle-aged kindness to me.When we had conflicts due to time and technical issues, Director Feng talked to me from the following perspective: I have a deep understanding of you and I, the situation is such a situation, you have to do it, and you have to do it if you don’t do it.I think this angle is worth a thousand dollars.More importantly than this, friends together are not just cooperation, but mutual improvement.It's not skating, it's mountain climbing.Just like Chairman Mao's visit to Jinggangshan, the purpose of the revolution is not to beat up the local tyrants and divide the land.

Through several cooperations, we have reached the following consensus. One, any effort that turns out to be useless after the fact is necessary ex ante. Second, things are a process, take your time, don't worry. Third, the process of creation is not to turn the possible into possible, but to turn the impossible into possible. Fourth, when there are difficulties in front of you, it is time to reach a new level.As the central government said well, difficulties and opportunities coexist. Fifth, when two things are opposed, one must be cut off immediately. Sixth, there is no limit to art. On the one hand, it means that there is no limit to life, and so does learning;

7. Dare to discard what was originally thought to be good, it is called revision; dare to push the whole thing over and over again, it is called adjustment. Eight, and most importantly, God's call has infinite power. The specific cooperation between me and Feng Xiaogang usually occurs in the stage of script revision.The time is about a week.Once entering the creative stage, Director Feng loves to drink water.One morning, he drank three and a half pots of four bottles of boiled water. "Gudong" "gudong" poured down a glass, looked up and looked around.The modification method is very simple. Director Feng personally holds the computer like holding a water bottle, responding to God's call, I walked back and forth in the room following Director Feng's soliloquy.I don't speak when the revision is going well, and I don't speak when it is difficult. My only task is to wait, or think about something else.Because of director Feng's sensitivity to life and art, his yearning and emotion for the branches and juices of life, just like his desire and impatience for water, you just have to wait until he finds the exit alone.The new branches of the big tree in the work are such a leaf that stretches from the room to the window, which is open and radiating instead of shrinking.He told me through practice that being a guest screenwriter is an extremely easy job, just walking around the room with your hands behind your back.The sensitivity of your friend's nerve endings also drives your nerves to open up and grow again.When friends and God meet, you too can hold God's hand.What I want to say is that Director Feng's in-depth understanding of life and art, and his grasp of structure, dialogue, sense of language, emotion, climax and voice have surpassed many writers who specialize in writing.He has two wings instead of one.In view of this alone, I just said that Feng Xiaogang has made extraordinary contributions to Chinese films, and now I say that he is only 1.7 kilometers away from becoming a great director who has contributed to films.So he lost his patience with the """"""""""" in Chinese, which can be completely ignored.

What I don't want to forgive is his sense of time and focus on one thing.You are in the state of creation, why do you still have your phone on?Is there anything more important in the world?There will also be many unexpected people and dinners.One day a barber suddenly came.Or, he will suddenly have something the next day and tell you that night.When he puts down his phone, when he goes to the dinner, and tells you that he has something to do the next day, he will show a little shyness and apology, but it does not affect his pause in picking up the phone, going to the dinner, and working the next day.It's like two people are chasing a dog, and a chicken flies by, Feng Xiaogang will say: friend, stop, let me chase that chicken first.At this time, there are two situations. One, when you chase the chicken, the dog says, I will rest for a while, and I am still waiting for you at the same place;In this case, what I tell myself is: patience, I will play with the dog for a while alone. The place where the script is revised is generally in a place called "Horse Farm" in the suburbs of Beijing.It is relatively close to the airport, with a few isolated houses built and dozens of horses raised, with no human habitation anywhere.As soon as I got here, I thought of Lin Chongfa.It snows in winter, and the snow in the city has melted early, but here is still a vast expanse of whiteness.After dinner, I remember often going for a walk by the river.In the twilight, the planes about to land and take off passed overhead with their big bellies and flashing lights.When walking, sometimes there is silence for a long time, and sometimes casually talk about topics that have nothing to do with art and life.What was talked about specifically, high and low, I have forgotten now.I only remember this time recently, when spring was about to come, Xiao Gang looked at the willows swaying in the twilight in the distance, and the confused mist rising from the river, and recited in the accent of an old-school intellectual: Another year of spring comes , The poplar flowers are floating in the sky. Feng Xiaogang's book was created during the interval between script creation and filming.The schedule was tight and the task heavy, but it was unique.Like other quasi-autobiographies, it also tells about many people and things in the past, and the emotions with these people and things.Things are different from people, or things are different when people die, when they are sent away and when they are found again.Different from other quasi-autobiographies, while facing the past with timidity and evasion, the author narrates to us such a truth: grow up in the sound of "no", and immediately create another life and art the way.Feng Xiaogang said in the past that there was no place for him in the palace built in the past, so he had to build a side room beside the palace.The problem is that more and more side houses are built, bigger and bigger, and higher and higher, gradually becoming a courtyard, and it becomes another palace.The year before last, Cui Yongyuan published a book called "Just So Much". I admire what old Cui said in the book, "It took 38 years to write "Just So Much", and now I cut it into pieces for everyone to see; now we read it Feng Xiaogang’s, like watching old Cui chop radishes, you can know how old Feng’s family built another side house, courtyard and palace brick by brick on the barren land.It's also a bit like looking at animals. At first glance, it looks like four things, not a dog, not a chicken, not a donkey, not a horse, but it looks like a unicorn. While turning decay into magic, Feng Xiaogang is also good at turning sublime into mediocrity. For this book, he said in his preface, friend, there is nothing else but to dedicate my youth to tease you ; Then, as a friend, now I use this preface to return the boredom to him himself.The last thing I want to tell him is, friend, don’t forget, you still have a distance of 1.7 kilometers to go, as the ancients said, half a hundred miles is ninety percent.
