486.InterviewPart 2(2/3)
When he said this, he held the microphone in one hand and made a gesture of spreading his fingers and pressing down with the other hand.
"But when we talk about these things, what I want to express is..."
His palm moved to the other side:
"It's like the so-called increase in popularity that the host just mentioned. I said that as directors, our expression of the world is in our works. And the rest, such as interviews, activities, interviews, questions, etc.
, in fact, like the works, they all belong to the subjective understanding of "you".
I think...directing is a profession that requires some mystery. Just like now, I can tell you all my understanding of the world. But when you understand my understanding, you feel...yo, you are such a person
It's actually quite shallow.
Then when you continue to look at my works, you may use your natural subjective impression to affect your judgment or interpretation of the works."
After his words made many people look thoughtful, he continued:
"So, first of all, I can't let you see that I actually don't have much and that I am a very superficial person. And after I let everyone see clearly who I am through these interviews, talk shows and the like, I discovered that I
It's so superficial... maybe my movie won't sell.
Secondly, I actually like other people's over-interpretation of art. It's just like those reading comprehension questions we did in school. I'm sure that 80% of the authors may have written a certain passage in a literary work.
Didn't think too much about it.
When I saw that the sky was blue, I wrote it down casually. But when readers or some scholars read this paragraph, they will interpret it as something... reflecting the author's mentality, or the author is using a metaphor.
When I was in school, I felt that this kind of reading comprehension was really taking off my pants and farting. I especially wanted to get in the face of the person who asked the question, and then call the author over... Come, let's have a three-way confrontation. For this question, you wrote that the sky was so blue.
What were you thinking when you took the exam? Tell me carefully! Why did you give me 0 points for the paper..."
"Hahahahahaha..."
In the field, laughter sounded again.
Xu Xin also shrugged with a weird smile:
"But later... maybe as my experience grew, I discovered... that the so-called art is actually what it is.
The reading comprehension we do is not over-interpretation, but we hope to find an explanation that is more in line with our own definition of this passage.
Isn’t this the source of the charm of artistic diversity? In the hearts of ten thousand Hamlets, there are ten thousand Harry Potters..."
"...?"
"...??"
"...???"
The somewhat convoluted brain teasers just made everyone look astonished, and the humor burst out into laughter again.
And in this laughter, Xu Xin's voice turned into a calm narrative:
"So you see, that's it. Since a director becomes famous because of his works, he shouldn't tear off his mysterious veil easily. If he becomes famous because of his works, if you want to interpret it, just go to the works to interpret it.
We use our works to express our underlying thoughts, and everyone relies on their own subjective thinking to interpret our works.
Because art is subjective, right?
In the process of interpretation, you will find that someone has the same idea as you. You will be attracted to each other and form like-minded friends. Even to say it is an exaggeration, you will lay the foundation of the school... Isn't this how Red Learning came about?
But more importantly, I think it is a tacit understanding among everyone. For example, if you like my movies and are a fan of mine, you will watch my works. And after watching them, no matter whether they are good or bad, you will pretend to be
In my heart.
Meet people with the same interests and have a discussion. If others have no feelings for you, you can also be indifferent. And when one day you don't like my movies, we have known each other since childhood and met by chance. Now the fate is gone, so we simply
Forgetting each other in the world. I think this is also a kind of romance. So..."
He waved his hand to everyone:
"There is no need to carefully explore someone's history of fame, and there is no need to pay special attention to the director's private life. Since you are connected to the work, you have to rely on the work to speak for itself in the end. I think this is a kind of celestial romance...
Of course, there is a premise for all this, or the prerequisite for chasing dreams is to be able to eat first. But for some people, it is linked to compromise, which goes against the dreams in their hearts. So, again,
It varies from person to person.
Keep your style and focus on your dreams, but don’t be stubborn. You still have to compromise when it’s time to compromise. Only when you are full can you have the strength to curse. Here is a quote from Mr. Guo Degang: Before you become famous, talent is equal to shit. Let me encourage you all.
"
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!!!!”
When he finished speaking, the audience burst into the loudest applause ever.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Some people applauded Xu Xin because he lived a clear and free life.
Some people were excited because of the enlightenment-like comfort in these words.
But as Xu Xin said, different people can use their own subjectivity to understand what he said.
Some people even think that from the beginning of the interview to the present, it has been a long and lengthy talk, which is nonsense and is their own personal stuff.
In fact, no matter what, it's fine.
The reason why he took off his watch and tie was that he wanted to use an ordinary person's mentality to chat with these people and share some trivial suggestions in his mind.
The building has become tilted unconsciously.
Li Ziwei asked the questions he had prepared, but he even forgot about them.
But she, who was also applauding at this moment, had to admit it.
Although celebrities such as Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Ziyi and Li Ming were not invited to the film exhibition.
But the director Xu in front of me... seems to be more in line with the temperament of the film festival.
What?
You do not believe?
Then come and listen to this applause.
How enthusiastic it is.
…
Not very experienced, slightly stiff host.
I discovered my friend's desire to talk and suddenly became a god watching the crowd.
And a director who is particularly good at crooked buildings, and on a just-in-time occasion, he evokes a desire to talk.
To sum up the overall quality of this interview...
Um……
That’s quite, quite high!
Although Li Ziwei still has many unfinished questions prepared by himself.
For example, the slightly expanded gossip questions in the book, such as "How did Director Xu and Yang Mi meet?" or "Is Liu Yifei really not acting in TV dramas anymore?" were not asked before the time was over.
For more than an hour, the topic actually always revolved around one theme.
That's the movie.
Or to be more precise, it is "self" and "movie" in the director's eyes.
There was humor, playfulness, and also professional terms that many audience members didn't understand.
But fortunately there are not many professionals.
This young director just used his own experience to express his current views on his works and the director's profession.
There is no need to praise anyone or put anyone down, and there is no cynicism. Let everyone focus on the road of art instead of pursuing food and clothing. Why not eat meat?
Even during the interview, when the relationship between the director and investors was mentioned, Xu Xin's words: "What I hope most is that my investors cut off their hands before joining the team. Fortunately, I have done it now."
It really made a lot of people laugh, cry and yearn for it.
As for the so-called commercialization, his opinion is:
"It makes money, it's not shabby."
It is down to earth but does not deviate from the path of art.
Pursuing the balance between business and art, even he knows that achieving perfection is almost a fantasy.
But no matter what, this more than one hour interview was very enlightening to these people here.
Xu Xin didn't talk about chicken soup for the soul, and he didn't have a condescending talking style. When Li Ziwei said the words that ended today's interview, Xu Xin and Liu Yifei stood up to express their thanks and received nearly a minute of applause from the audience.
A sincere applause.
Frankly speaking, Xu Xin's words may not establish such a strong belief in their hearts.
That's not realistic.
But at least he cleared up a small piece of the fog.
Let these people who are still in the initial stage of exploration find a clear direction.
If you only consider this, the trip will be worthwhile.
Many people have even made up their mind to pay close attention to the official website of the College Student Film Festival during this period.
There were some things in this interview that they had not yet thought through.
I have to go back and read it a few more times to think about it carefully.
at the same time……
