In fact, Xu Xin's words cover a relatively wide range.

What Li Ziwei wants to ask is just as a director, how do you act as a manipulator of actors and use these actors?

After all, every director has his own style, and some people like to be puppet masters.

I can't wait to tie the thread to the actors, and even every line and every action must be done according to their own opinions.

And some people are just like herding cows and sheep.

As long as the actors don't come out of their own pastures, they can eat grass as they please, pursuing the freedom of the herds of cattle and sheep like white clouds.

What she wanted to ask about was the use of actors.

But the answer Xu Xin gave him was his definition of a director.

He did not dare to preach, but he was indeed telling those present here as a relatively accomplished young director who loved movies and were either already involved in them or who wanted to get into this industry that from now on

Keep one thing consistent from the beginning.

That means don't worry about your own style.

Everything serves the script and story.

On the premise of making a good movie, make a story within your own capabilities.

You are the captain, you are the boss on this ship.

While you keep your word, you are also responsible for how to take this boat of people out and how to bring them back.

The ship suddenly hit a rock midway, and the ship sank. All the people on the ship died, but the captain who swore to live and die with the ship came back...

That would be a bit inappropriate.

As for if anyone really thinks he is preaching...

So be it whatever.

It’s up to you whether you like to hear it or not.

As for the reaction…

Just listen to the applause from the audience.

If it were an overly commercialized film festival, Xu Xin wouldn't say these words even to death.

Who are you?

Say these words.

In this industry, at most 10% of the films reach theaters every year, and among these 10% there are still bad films.

The remaining 90% has basically gone to waste. Not to mention the total loss, you don't even know what its real use is.

And now what is the use of telling us these empty words and lies?

It's like you'll never make a bad movie in your life.

Therefore, in such a thankless situation, he would not be mean.

But it's different here.

Looking at the people in the audience who were about the same age as him, he didn't want to open his mouth but said hello to me and everyone to be tactful.

The young scholar was angry and scolded Fang Qiu.

In this atmosphere, what he hopes is that more talented people can stick to their beliefs.

Even though it will be very painful, you must find the right direction.

Making money for the sake of making money is fine in other industries. But in the directing circle, it is really difficult to get ahead.

All directors know that you need to have a personality and be remembered by others to survive.

But if you blindly pursue "style", whether it is a script or a story, style will be the main focus, and you will strive to make your distinctive style the first to appear in the eyes of others... just like when you see a cigarette

Frame, everyone thinks of Wang Jiawei, and as soon as they see the long shot, they think of Jia Zhangke...

When they feel that these styles have made these directors possible, they are really completely lost.

Therefore, after answering, he could receive the thunderous applause.

Ordinary viewers think it makes sense, but for those who have already entered the industry and can only listen to him in the audience, his words are equivalent to the light that helps them clear the fog.

It may not have any substantive effect in the short term, and even for those who play with tickets, it may only sound exciting at best.

But for those who really regard directing as their lifelong career, his words are the direction.

Don't indulge in the illusion of style or lack of style.

Let’s shoot the story first.

…

Li Ziwei actually prepared quite a lot of questions for this interview.

More than an hour is enough time to ask questions.

However, in order to take care of the fans, the questions she prepared were actually not very professional.

For example, after applause, she suddenly changed the subject:

"Speaking of which... Director Xu has never participated in this kind of talk show, right?"

"without."

Xu Xin shook his head honestly:

"In my impression... this should be the second time for an interview program, right?... It seems that I have only been interviewed once... or twice by "Southern Weekly", and the others should be...

It’s gone.”

"Why? No one is looking for you?"

"Well, there are actually quite a few people looking for me."

Xu Xin smiled and said:

"But I actually don't worry about this kind of thing in my daily life. My wife helps me deal with these things, so she stopped all these interviews..."

Li Ziwei was stunned...

"Yang Mi... help you stop me?"

"right."

Xu Xin nodded:

"She stopped it all for me. I don't have an agent, so if anyone wants to contact me, they have to go to her. Then she stopped all these interviews, activities, etc. for me."

"this……"

Li Ziwei seems to really not understand:

"Why are you blocking it? ...To be more realistic, these are also a way to improve your popularity, right?"

“Isn’t the best way for a director to increase his reputation through his works?”

Xu Xin looked like "you are weird".

Then, he looked like he was thinking and continued:

"Actually, it's like this. First of all, everyone has their own career plan. If you refer too much to other people's ways of becoming famous, sometimes it may not be suitable for you.

Secondly... I don't think my career has any reference. Because to be honest, I think I am quite lucky. By chance, I joined the preparatory team for the Olympic Games and was appreciated by my boss... Director Zhang.

Then work on the Olympics began.

In the Olympics, Director Zhang, as a mentor, almost taught me the values ​​​​of being a director through words and deeds. And from him, I understood that as a director, we express our views on the world, literary works, and even a period of history.

The most appropriate way to express your views is to put them into your works.

As for...including today's interview, I don't know what the purpose of everyone's participation is. For example, if you are a fan of Liu Yifei..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He pointed towards Liu Yifei, who had "taken away" all the light from him.

continued:

"In other words, you have never participated in a film exhibition before, and you want to see something new this time. Or, as a person in the industry, your career is currently in trouble and you want to get some direction, or to put it more simply, you just want to come

Let’s see what kind of virtue a person who marries Yang Mi has..."

"Hahahahaha..."

Waves of laughter rang out in the venue.

Everyone is happy.

Including Li Ziwei and Liu Yifei on stage.

Amid the roar of laughter, Xu Xin shrugged with a proud look on his face:

"Yes, it's me!"

"Xu~~~~~"

When boos broke out, the auditorium of Zhongchuan seemed to have turned into the scene of Deyun Society.

Amidst the boos, Xu Xin continued:

"Actually, what many people overlook is that everything I said today, including what I am saying now, is all my personal subjective remarks. And the remarks I made will be heard in your ears.

Your feelings after listening to it are actually based on your own subjective understanding."
