I didn't want to be an actor

In the literary and art world, there is actually a chain of contempt:

Drama fans\u003eMovie fans\u003eTV fans\u003eVariety show fans\u003eInternet celebrities.

Why?

Because there is the stage first, then the screen; first there are movies, then television; variety shows and Internet celebrities are new things that have only emerged in recent years.

Therefore, those who appear first feel that they are more authentic, more qualified, and more competent than those who come later.

Each gear will not slide to the next gear easily, unless forced by "survival".

Drama, due to limitations in venue and communication methods, has gradually become an art form favored by a small group of people.

Film, due to the existence of major international film festivals and the setting up of various awards, is the field in which all entertainers are most eager to gain fame.

Wang Jiawei happens to be highly sought after by various film festivals!

Served as jury president at Cannes and Berlin Film Festivals.

As for Wang Jiawei's level, Li Min once commented: Among directors of my generation, the real genius in making movies is Wang Jiawei.

Perhaps the best evaluation of Wang Jiawei comes from director Wang Jing. Wang Jingte admires Wang Jiawei: "Wang Jiawei's courage is very admirable. He insists on taking his own path. It is a very difficult road. If you let me go, I may Not that much courage.”

Wang Jiawei's films pay attention to both vision and hearing.

In the early days, he frequently used upscaling, frame skipping, and MV-style shots to create blurred visual effects.

He consistently favors close-ups and pays attention to composition and color, making the film full of viewing pleasure. Coupled with a literary narration, it is pleasant to the ear and full of room for interpretation. The voice of the monologue is unique, deep and melancholy, which fits the temperament of the film.

Really petty bourgeoisie!

Shen Liang also had to admire Wang Jiawei's aesthetics. He was indeed awesome.

But that doesn't mean he won't tell lies.

As for Huang Lei, he has been committed to drama and organized the entire Wuzhen Theater Festival...

The Wuzhen Theater Festival has been doing so well in recent years!

How good is it? It’s so good that it can even be ranked among the top of the world’s theater festivals!

The Wuzhen Theater Festival was really started by Huang Lei - he and Chen Xianghong, one was responsible for the planning and preparation of Wuzhen, and the other was responsible for lobbying and coordinating the theater circle.

Not only did they call in Lai Shengchuan, the director of "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land", but they also brought in Meng Jinghui...

The first session was a great success. It was not only very famous in China, but also attracted a large number of foreign theater lovers to participate.

Huang Lei himself has a wide network of contacts, and the Wuzhen Theater Festival has expanded his network...

Anyway, as long as the people who are awesome come into his mouth, they are all very good friends who have deep friendships and are very familiar with them...

There is quite a feeling that there are scholars who talk and laugh, but there are no idlers in the exchanges!

Someone commented on him: A teacher at a film school who has everything except acting...

Shen Liang continued: "It doesn't make sense to make a bad movie and not let people say it..."

"Who hasn't failed yet..."

"Then what do you mean by making excuses? I don't believe that he really can't see the problem with the movie from his perspective!"

Huang Lei sighed and said, "Sometimes you can't help yourself..."

He Jiong interrupted: "Let's talk about something else. Xiao Shen is going back to Changsha tomorrow to celebrate the New Year, right?"

"Well, let's attend our New Year's Eve party at Mango Channel..."

"What song?"

""Seaweed Dance" and "Flowers Along the Road"..."

""Seaweed Dance" is really popular...everyone around me can sing it!"

Shen Liang chuckled: "Don't you think it's too uncouth?"

"What's so silly about this? What a fun song!"

Huang Lei was surprised: "Did you create "Seaweed Dance"?"

"Um…"

"I think that dance is quite interesting... Xiaobo also danced it!"

"…Thanks!"

Shen Liang had already prepared his words, but he didn't expect it to be a compliment...

Yang Di interjected: "Shen Liang has criticized those so-called elite aesthetics during live broadcasts before..."

"Do you think elite aesthetics are bad?"

"I don't like the word elite. In the short video era, everyone is a creator, and the right to speak in culture is changing..."

"I quite like this topic!" Huang Lei nodded: "Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"

“It’s not good or bad, this is what has happened, and we must follow this trend... But some of our comrades, or experts, don’t like this kind of stuff, but they are keen to criticize it. Shouldn’t we not pay attention to it if we don’t like it? For example, if you like to play the piano, but insist on joining the roller skating club to criticize others, in my opinion, it is just to show your so-called elegance, what’s the point?”

“But when people nowadays mention art, they think it’s just pretentious!”

"There is nothing wrong with art itself. Art is a neutral thing. If you don't have a note on your face saying that anyone who appreciates me is a superior person... If you can't appreciate elegant art, it doesn't mean you are inferior to others, but that kind of thing that you think you can appreciate People who are complacent about art, their ideological flaws and meanness are what make people look down upon.

I think this is the kind of deep-seated inferiority that no amount of elegant art can save! "

Huang Lei smiled, glanced at He Ji, and then said: "Teacher He told me before that you are very aggressive, but I think talking to you is really interesting..."

"No, our young people today all have the mentality that if you respect me even if you respect me, I will give you an inch, as the saying goes, 'If your quality is unknown, you will become stronger when you encounter strength!'"

Yang Di nodded: "Yes, if you go to the streets, shopping malls, and stations, and look around, you will find that most of the people who obey the order are young people, and the people who queue up are also young people, and they play quietly on the bus. Young people are still talking on mobile phones or in low voices...

Compared with many middle-aged people, young people have a greater sense of shame, honor and disgrace, and are more concerned about quality and their own image..."

"I also think that young people are more energetic to accept all new things, dare to criticize and speak out. On the contrary, many older generations who have been in society for decades are looking at this society like a thief and coveting all kinds of social benefits. It’s convenient but also curses, these are the same people who are talking loudly on the phone in the car, throwing and vomiting on the street, cutting in line, acting mischievously..."

He Yan quickly interrupted: "We can't generalize!"

"I know, I'm just talking about this phenomenon... The teachers in our school are also quite annoying. I won't name them. During class, they actually said, 'Today's students are becoming less and less like students.' I stood up and yelled at him I asked him, 'So you look like a teacher? You don't change your homework, you are proud of your external job...you focus on articles, funds, projects; academicians, Yangtze River, outstanding students...do you know how many students are in our class?'..."

"Then what?"

"Then... he shut up, and of course, I failed the final exam!"

After Shen Liang said this, He Jiong's face looked a little ugly. Yang Di reminded: "Teacher He seems to be a teacher at Beiwai too!"

"Then you'd better resign. It won't be good if you occupy the position..."

He Yan looked serious: "I was transferred in 2007 and resigned in 2015..." By the way, he explained to the camera: "I have already resigned..."

I almost forgot that the teacher at Beijing Foreign Studies University reported him for taking free money...
