Chapter 57 Chinese Film Golden Rooster × Award and Hundred Flowers Award

Recently, I received a warm invitation from two friends, who sent me a thousand-word text message, asking me to participate in the public jury of the Hundred Flowers Award for Chinese Film, but because I really don’t like the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Lu Xun Contradictory Award, so I just accepted I did not attend the film festival because of an interview. Regarding the interview, I answered a few questions, which I will sort out a little bit here. The first is that the assembly number and the crazy stone are both big hits, which one will I vote for?I mean, anyway, I think that the votes of ordinary people are basically cannon fodder, so I won't vote.But I don't want Crazy Stone to take the prize.The reason is actually very selfish, because Crazy Stone is a good movie, but it is not a good movie in my mind.And because of the success of Crazy Stone, a certain aspect of Chinese movies has turned into another bad concept. When some young friends of mine are looking for investment, the investor always thinks that I will give you one million. Make a crazy stone to talk about things.In fact, China does not lack directors like Ning Hao, and there will be no shortage of movies like Crazy Stone in the future. What China lacks are directors like Quentin and the Coen Brothers.In addition, Crazy Stone invested millions and earned tens of millions. This is of course a good thing, but its success is due to the good film itself, not because of low investment.

The second is to talk about why China lacks good directors. In fact, it is not because there are no good directors, but because they cannot. If some good directors come to China, it is estimated that 80% of them will become political prisoners.Of course, I'm not talking about Lou Ye, because Lou Ye is not a good director.Therefore, most of the time, the responsibility is not on the directors, because their living environment is also quite harsh. When they were young, they had to look at the face of investors. If they were successful, they would finally be able to shoot what they wanted. It also depends on the faces of viewers who don't like reading ancient books the most, but won't pay to watch movies if they don't make a big movie based on ancient books.Here I hope that the Film Bureau can relax the scale of the film, and stop continuing the former Soviet Union. You see, the former Soviet Union has collapsed.Moreover, ordinary people nowadays will not be in social unrest just because they watched a movie that was shot a little bit (the "release" in it does not refer to actresses).Therefore, in such an environment, it is not easy to direct them.

But it deserves it. The third is Zhou Xingchi.Zhou Xingchi is an actor I admire very much. He is really a very good actor, and as an actor, he is very creative and imaginative.In Chinese movies, I think Westward Journey comes before sunny days.And many of his early films are very good-looking, whether it is The Deer and Ding Ji, Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance, etc. are all very good films, but it is a pity that the three films after he became a director are not very good in my opinion, and one Worse than one.So, I can only say that he is a good actor, but at least he is not a good director right now. He is not called imagination when he flies into the sky. There is no necessary connection between imagination and special effects.

The fourth is about domestic film festivals.Because it is really not easy to choose good domestic films, but the competition for bad ones is fierce, so I suggest that the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Festival should actually select the worst films of Chinese films in the future, and then change the name, but also continue the tradition, the official one For the Golden Cock Award, the folks call it the Hundred Flowers Crazy Award, so maybe the prosperity can be reappeared. As for the way out of Chinese films, it is very simple. There are two places, one is the implementation of the film classification system, and the other is the abolition of the film censorship system. Unfortunately, we can do nothing about these two.
