? The film Green Red directed by Wang Xiaoshuai in 2005 won the jury award of Cannes International Film Festival and the best film award of Turkish Golden Orange International Film Festival, and it is still one of the most famous works in Wang Xiaoshuai. In fact, for him personally, the meaning of green red is definitely not just a movie?
Green red? Wang Xiaoshuai's semi-green is not red.
Wang Xiaoshuai is a typical young and middle-aged director in China? Flower in the wall smells good outside the wall? Starting from his first film "Days of Winter and Spring", he won various international film festival awards from Berlin to Cannes, from Greece and Italy to the Netherlands and Germany, and almost every work of his stood behind several weighty trophies. Compared with such fame, Wang Xiaoshuai's career development in the mainland film industry is a bit cramped, because most of his films are literary nostalgia and have a sense of the times, but in China, what is this kind of film? Genre movies? The biggest problem is how to find the audience and recover the investment. Although in the movie "Green Red", Green red? Just the name of the protagonist and a girl played by Gao Yuanyuan, but these two words also correspond to Wang Xiaoshuai's situation at that time? A little embarrassed? Green? .
However, Green Red brought Wang Xiaoshuai the first turning point in his career. The film was selected for Cannes Film Festival, which was sought after and expected by many media and audiences. At the screening before going abroad, even the aisle of the screening hall was full of people, and the warm scene surprised Wang Xiaoshuai himself. It's been 12 years since I made my first film. It was not until 2005 that my film got its first real audience in China. ? The filming of "Green Red" is not smooth, and it almost always faces the shortage of funds and finds another investment. This situation continued until the filming was completed and the film was sent to the relevant domestic departments for review. ? "Green Red" is my first complete release in China, and my participation in the exhibition in Cannes coincides with the centenary of China films. It can be said that this opportunity changed my destiny. ?
And for Wang Xiaoshuai personally, the meaning of Green Red is definitely not as simple as a movie, it is the first work completed in Wang Xiaoshuai's autobiography trilogy. As early as ten years ago, he had finished the script of Green Red and Me 1 1. These stories are not in his memory, but engraved in his life.
? Left and Right, which won the Silver Bear Award for Best Screenplay at the Berlin Film Festival in 2008, is a film adapted by Wang Xiaoshuai based on real news events. It tells the story of a divorced couple reunited to save their sick child and gave birth to a new child under the great pressure of saving the old child. Behind the film is producer and director Wang Xiaoshuai?
About? Wang Xiaoshuai's Dilemma
Wang Xiaoshuai has always insisted on his own movies: he insists on a clean and simple style, trying not to use background music to make the characters' language and movements more tense; He insisted on making movies according to his own ideas; His films are all related to the fate and growth of the public, but the living environment of domestic films is too bad now. I really want to stick to myself, but the road is too difficult. ? Left-handed ideal, right-handed box office, the reality is not satisfactory, Wang Xiaoshuai is really in a dilemma.
? I used the money I could buy two houses to buy a movie of my own and stay. I am not poor at all. I am the richest. ? In the propaganda of the movie "I 1 1", Wang Xiaoshuai once said so, but who knows how much melancholy and helplessness there is behind this tragic insistence? As an independent filmmaker, the funds needed for filming, the funds needed for the operation of the promotional film, the pressure of the box office and the recognition of the audience? Wang Xiaoshuai walked his own cultural route while carrying it, and the pressure was palpable. It can be said that filming now is more concerned with the running-in and interaction between the film and the market, rather than whether it can win prizes internationally. The real establishment of China film market still needs to wait. It is difficult for us to produce hundreds of millions of works like Hollywood now. They have a very strong marketing team and financial support, but these are the immature places of our China film market. ?
20 1 1 Wang Xiaoshuai won the annual director award of China Film Directors Association. Chongqing Blues is interpreted by the outside world as the transformation of Wang Xiaoshuai from a literary film to a commercial film, because the film investment is huge, the script is full of commercial elements, and it also brings together high-quality stars such as * * * and Wang Xueyin. I don't think this is a commercial film, or a special commercial film. It also expresses my thoughts on the affection between father and son and my concern about the modern family situation. Besides, I think genre films also need stars. Their strength and appeal will certainly contribute to the promotion of the film, provided that the funds allow. In "Chongqing Blues", * * * freely participated in the performance and performed very well. ? Although the road to literary films in the domestic film industry is still bumpy, Wang Xiaoshuai continues to pay attention to and discuss the topic of life with the audience in one excellent work after another by insisting on the dream of film.
Your age 1 1 is none of our business. ! ? 20 12 Wang Xiaoshuai directed the film "I 1 1" because of Zhou Libo's words? Tucao? Look at the surge in Weibo. In fact, in order to plan the filming and production of this film, Wang Xiaoshuai has spent all his savings, and has been unable to invest in publicity. Seeing this situation, his friend Zhou Libo directed and performed a small hype, guest appearance? Smash the field? To attract everyone's attention to "I 1 1".
I 1 1？ 1 1 year in Wang Xiaoshuai.
In Wang Xiaoshuai's works, there are more or less traces of his personal fate, even real events. I 1 1, 20 12, released in May, is the second part of Wang Xiaoshuai's autobiography trilogy. It tells the story of the physical and mental growth of the second generation of children in families that supported the third-line construction in the 1960 s and 1970 s. The 1 1 year-old boy Wang Han in the film is almost the 1 1 year-old Wang Xiaoshuai in real life. 1975, 1 1 year-old Wang Han witnessed together? Murder? Later, he had to bear the torment of his mind, and he learned about the sex of the adult world in a hazy way, which made his body and mind change quietly, and the hormones in his body collided with the depressed environment from time to time?
