rising director

It's really annoying to keep making excuses.

However, for Teng Huatao, he still wanted to be together, because they are both directors from Nortel.Teng Huatao started from filming TV dramas, and gradually turned to movies. A "Snail House" was very popular, and later "33 Days of Broken Relationship" was a dark horse at the box office.

In terms of TV series, Teng Huatao has a lot of skills, and Wan Xiaohu has a lot of hot TV series in his mind, and it is not that there are no opportunities for cooperation in the future.

"Well, I have this plan, but it hasn't been decided yet. After so many years of directing TV dramas, I'm getting more and more timid now. I didn't make all the preparations, and I didn't dare to make a movie right away, for fear of messing up and causing shadows."

Feng Xiaogang said: "It's right to keep the focus. Directors can't show their talents until they are 30 years old, and they can make good movies after they are 50 years old. There are not many good movies made at such a young age as Xiaohu."

"I really want to say that Mr. Feng praised me so much, but I dare not take it. However, today is the opening ceremony of "Butterfly Effect". Xiaohu is here to ask Mr. Feng for his good words, hoping to make "Butterfly Effect" well." Feng Xiaogang Wan Xiaohu is somewhat proud of his appreciation.

Feng Xiaogang is a director of the Five Generations. Although he has not yet achieved future achievements, he has a huge influence on the audience because he has produced blockbuster movies every year during the Lunar New Year.However, as an outstanding figure of the fifth generation of directors, Feng Xiaogang is somewhat out of tune with the directors of this period, and pays more attention to the lives of ordinary citizens.

The division of directors in China is not a strict academic concept, but just a convention.

The first generation of directors were pioneers in the 20s, such as Zhang Shichuan, Zheng Zhengqiu, Dan Du Yu, Yang Xiaozhong, Shao Zuiweng and so on.They used staged and socialized silent films (silent films) to lay the foundation for Chinese films.As a pioneer, the films of this period are inevitably mixed.

The second generation of directors refers to a group of directors who were active in the film industry in the 40s and [-]s, such as Cai Chusheng, Sun Yu, Fei Mu, Wu Yonggang, etc.They are students of the first generation of directors.Starting from them, in terms of ideological content, Chinese films began to be truly liberated from pure entertainment "playing", began to reflect social life in a more in-depth manner, and played social functions from entertainment.

The third generation of directors refers to directors who were active in the film industry in the [-]s and [-]s, such as Cheng Yin, Xie Tieli, Shui Hua, Cui Wei, Ling Feng, Xie Jin, Wang Yan, Guo Wei, Li Jun, Yu Yanfu, Lu Ren, Wang Ping , forest farmers, etc.They are artists who entered the film industry after the founding of the People's Republic of China. They followed the principle of realism to express the essence of life, deeply displayed contradictions and conflicts, and carried out very useful explorations in terms of national style, local characteristics, and artistic connotations.

"Little Soldier Zhang Ga", "Sparkling Red Star", and "Camel Xiang" were all directors born in this period.

Starting from the fourth generation of directors, directors are no longer Yelu, but are mainly trained by graduates of the Beijing Film Academy and major film studios.Most of the fourth-generation directors are students who graduated from Nortel and Shanghai Opera in the 60s, taking the route of combining theory with practice.

They proposed that Chinese films "throw away the crutches of drama", break the dramatic structure, advocate documentary, pursue a simple and natural style and open structure, pay attention to the significance of themes and characters, and explore the meaning of society and life from life and ordinary people's trivial matters. philosophy.

Because I have experienced the transformation of that great era, I often start to develop my talents when I am in my forties (over 40 years old). I have experienced the shackles of the times and broke the shackles of the times. As a result, my vision has broadened and I have been tirelessly absorbing new technologies. , to explore a deeper level of art.

Because the state-owned economy was still dominant during this period, they tended to pay more attention to the artistic quality of movies and divorced from commercial ones.After the economic changes, the market-based economy dominated, and commercial films flourished, they gradually declined.

Representative figures are Wu Yigong, Wu Tianming, Zhang Nuanxin, Huang Jian, and Teng Ji.

It can be seen from this that directors who can be divided into generations have certain commonalities.The first generation of directors is the enlightenment of film, the second generation of directors is the liberation of film, the third generation of directors is exploration and contradiction, and the fourth generation of directors is the pursuit of art.

By the fifth generation of directors, they have gradually become stereotyped, and they also have certain commonalities. Their works are characterized by strong subjectivity, symbolism, and allegory.

However, after all, it is the directors who are currently active, and the specific division is still very confusing.To put it mildly, the fifth generation of directors specifically refers to a group of directors who graduated from Nortel's 78-level director class, such as Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Wu Niu, Tian Zhuangzhuang, He Qun, etc.On a larger scale, the entire 78th grade, as well as directors from various departments before and after 78th grade, or directors who graduated from other colleges or taught themselves in the same period, are all the fifth generation.

Feng Xiaogang is the fifth generation of directors, after all, he is not a graduate of Nortel, nor does he have the commonality of the fifth generation of directors.The box office of all films is good, but they are often scolded for lack of artistic accomplishment and kitsch to the audience, which belongs to the relatively non-mainstream category of directors.

Later Feng Xiaogang claimed that he "doesn't belong to the next generation at all".

But Wan Xiaohu knew that in the future, Feng Xiaogang would become the first mainland director to have his fingerprints on Hollywood!

Admirable!

After talking about it for a while, the master of ceremonies walked into the box and signaled to everyone that it was time to go out to be interviewed by reporters.

0067【I don't have a role in my home game】

When Wan Xiaohu, Wang Zhongjun, Feng Xiaogang and others arrived at the lobby, they saw actors from "The Butterfly Effect" sitting on the prepared rostrum, and fifty media reporters in the audience, all holding cameras, Flash from time to time.Then, under the host of the master of ceremonies, interact with the actors.

Zhao Wei, Xu Jinglei, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Guan Zhilin, Hu Jun, a first-line actor, or a popular niche, is enough to murder countless films.

When Feng Xiaogang showed up, the reporters immediately turned their microphones to meet Feng Xiaogang.

"Director Feng, Director Feng..."

Amidst the questions from the reporters, several people were sitting in their seats, and Wan Xiaohu and the actors smiled and said hello.

"Director Feng, today is the launching ceremony of "Butterfly Effect", why did you come to attend?"

"Director Feng, your film performed well in the Lunar New Year file, but it was criticized because of the subject matter and content. Is it because of this that you changed direction and filmed the not-so-successful "A Sigh"?"

It has to be said that being famous means stealing the limelight. Today was clearly the opening ceremony of Wan Xiaohu's new movie, but as soon as Feng Xiaogang appeared on the stage, it became his home field.And Wan Xiaohu, who was gorgeous, was ignored by the reporters.

Facing the reporter, Feng Xiaogang had an indifferent expression on his face: "Today is the launching ceremony of "Butterfly Effect", please ask more questions about the movie. The reason why I came to participate is very simple. This is a science fiction movie. Movies, in the history of domestic movies, it is rare to have such a sci-fi movie with such an excellent script. Moreover, I am also very optimistic about director Wan Xiaohu, such an outstanding young director is rare."

Faced with Feng Xiaogang's flattery, Wan Xiaohu straightened his collar with a smile on his face.Now that Feng Xiaogang has already turned the topic to him, the reporters should ask him the next moment.Wan Xiaohu has already made full preparations for this, and is going to explain the movie systematically.

However, he guessed the beginning, but not the ending.

A reporter raised his hand and stood up: "Director Wan Xiaohu is indeed young."

Wan Xiaohu smiled and shook his head, expressing humility.

The next moment, the reporter suddenly looked at Teng Huatao again: "Director Teng, there are rumors that you plan to step out from being a TV director and filming a movie. A new work is already in preparation, isn't it?"

At that time, Wan Xiaohu's smile couldn't hold on anymore.

Damn, it's fine if you don't ask me, tell me something, and then turn around, what does this mean?

"I can't lose my demeanor, I will bear it!"

Taking a deep breath, Wan Xiaohu finally smiled again before the expression on his face collapsed.Today is the launching ceremony of "The Butterfly Effect", he must remain calm no matter what.

Fortunately, he is also a person who has lived once. After quickly adjusting his mentality, Wan Xiaohu is in the mood of watching a movie, watching the reporters tirelessly asking other people questions.

Then he laughed at himself in his heart.

"This can be regarded as a blow to the head, right?"

The good sales performance of "Waiting Alone" made Wan Xiaohu, who had never had a good time together for two generations, so proud that he almost got carried away.But this scene at the opening ceremony was like breaking a basin of cold water for Wan Xiaohu, making his impetuous heart swell and cooling down quickly.

The success of a movie doesn't mean anything. As a director behind the scenes, no one will notice if there are not enough good works to support it.What reporters are good at is tracking the focus of entertainment. A newcomer, not to mention that he hasn't done anything earth-shattering, even if he has done something big, his attention can't be compared with that of big star directors.

Being left out is nothing!

Really nothing!

"You guys reminded me that I thought I was capable of shaking the world after I made such a small achievement. I have to continue to work hard to add more achievements. When the time comes, it's not that I expect you to come to interview me, but You guys are rushing to interview me, so it depends on my mood."

Even though he comforted himself, Wan Xiaohu was still a little depressed, and he thought about the future fiercely in his heart.

Hang a smile and watch others talk and laugh happily.

"Zhao Wei, can you tell me what kind of role you played in the movie "The Butterfly Effect". Was there any pressure for you to shoot a sci-fi movie?"

Zhao replied with a smile: "I can't reveal the role I play in it yet, but I came here to shoot with a very relaxed mood. You know, director Wan Xiaohu is my junior, and I will definitely want him to make a movie." Come and support, I believe "The Butterfly Effect" will be an excellent science fiction film."

"Chen Kun, your line has always been to give people a scholarly temperament. Is there any difference in the image in this shooting?"

At this time, Chen Kun had just become popular, and he was still a little young, not as free and easy as Zhao Wei, and said cautiously: "When I received this script, I was also very worried at the beginning, and I was not sure to take the responsibility. I have never acted in a movie. I have never acted in a sci-fi film. However, the script is so attractive, and the leading actor is a college student himself, so I think I can take on this challenge.”
