I heard a story: a 12-year-old country boy met a 7-year-old city girl. The boy accidentally burst the girl's balloon, so the boy went to a big city far away to buy a balloon for the girl, but when he came back, he found that the girl had left, and she didn't care at all. Finally, the boy released the balloon. When I first heard it, I felt something, probably because I was born in the same countryside.
In fact, this is a film "Flying" just finished by director Fei Da. Fei Da, who chose this story, is also a screenwriter. He has his own psychological story. Born in rural Shaanxi, surrounded by a group of farmers who depend on the weather for food, Fei Da had the idea of being a director from the beginning, and the director was very powerful in his mind. So he went to college, and he entered an art school in Shanxi. Originally, I applied for the choreography major, but I mistakenly entered the acting class. Fei Da counted his embarrassment at that time: first, he didn't have any performance foundation at all; second, he didn't have any funds; third, he didn't have any special skills. "Although I sometimes ask myself to be confident, the external pressure is too great. I just want to focus some of these things on children. " In the film, the little girl despises the little boy. However, just as Fei Da would rather starve to death than borrow money from his classmates, the little boy came to this city and was challenged by his older children to run a race. He said I could do it, and finally won. "In fact, it is to fight for breath. I also want to release this feeling through the focal plane. " In fact, Fei Da also won such a competition. While doing TV programs, many students came to see him.
Speaking of the experience of the column director, Fei Da was not excited, and he was even more hesitant at that time. "TV programs have a pre-designed model, and all the processes are set according to the model. There is no artistry at all. In the end, I felt so miserable that I couldn't find my pursuit at all. I don't want to do it, but I don't know what I am doing. " So, after working for three months, Fei Da left a job that was very comfortable for outsiders.
Fei Da said: Life has actually changed a lot. For a family with an annual income of only 3,000 yuan, it is almost impossible to cultivate children's artistic dreams. But life taught him to be strong and persistent. "Some students can simply stick to artistic creation without worrying about their own lives. But I can't. I have to create while making a living. You have paid a lot and matured a lot. " Someone once offered 30,000 yuan for his play. Just when he couldn't eat tomorrow's meal, Fei Da refused. I don't understand one by one. Is this persistence worth it? "Scripts are like their own children. How many parents give up their right to take care of their children in order to make their children have more fun? " However, livelihood is still more important. "The more you do this, the more you should stick to it. In this line of work, you must learn to be strong and stick to it. " This is the belief that the annual salary of 200,000 real estate developers did not impress Fei Da.
Just as many directors' initial films are related to their own growth, Fei Da's works also come from life. What's in life? It is suffering, lack, lack of feelings and lack of money. "I need money, but I don't love money. Love is a pursuit. Pursue an expression, express your understanding of society, and express the coexistence of hope and disappointment. " In the works, the contempt between people is disappointment, but the protagonist's efforts to make progress are a kind of hope. "I am expressing myself, because without subjective expression, there is no creation. What I want to express is crucial, but there is also a caring side, and ultimately I hope. "
Fei Da said that he is actually a rather boring person, but he has also made some comedies, such as Inkstone, such as the upcoming sitcom "Confused in the Play". "For comedy, even if it makes people laugh after a meal, it is good, and individuals are happy in creation. But for some sad scenes, you will be very depressed when you invest in it. " And this repression has become more and more for Fei Da in recent years. Facing the barren creative environment in Shanxi, fewer and fewer people can communicate with each other. Therefore, Fei Da intends to come to Beijing. "Although Beijing is a place where hope and disappointment coexist, nothing is impossible as long as you work hard."
As a director, he has never been to the cinema, which is beyond everyone's understanding. It turns out that this is a goal of Fei Da. "When you go to the cinema for the first time, you should look at your own works. As an ordinary person, you should listen to the real feelings of the audience, not some deliberate remarks. Because movies are for the audience, people should always know who they are." For this dream, Fei Da is also working hard. He has just finished a digital movie script. People who see the script even want to adapt it into a TV series. Effort is hope. I hope that in the near future, we can see the movies of the famous director Fei Da and the TV series of the famous screenwriter Fei Da.
