Chapter 154 Speech
Cao Heyi wrote eight large cursive chalk characters on the blackboard - commercial film, art film, and then he used chalk to draw a horizontal line on the art film!
"Everyone knows that a large number of commercial films from Western Europe and the United States have entered the country recently, which has brought fierce controversy to the domestic film industry, so that now there are more popular commercial films and art films!" Cao Heyi talked with great eloquence.
His language expression ability and rich life experience were indeed attractive to people at first glance, but what he said next gradually made Yang Ming frown!
"Art is sacred and priceless! Directors are known as human soul engineers, and they must pay more attention to guiding the direction of public thinking. Therefore, I strongly disagree with the commercial movies in Europe and the United States that are full of the smell of copper.
!”
"Judging from the recently released European and American commercial movies, the so-called commercial movies are the types of movies whose main or only creative purpose is to make profit, while art film art is the broadest personal and original contribution to the world, society, and life.
, a critical expression, a film that expresses the director’s inner world!”
"Which one is higher and which one is lower is clear at a glance!"
"Recently, our film school, as the forefront of domestic film art, has been blatantly advocating commercial production, and even made a fuss about only selecting handsome actors, not good ones, when recruiting actors. It is simply a blasphemy against the art of film. I
I feel that this person is not worthy of being a director and should pursue a singing career that he is better at!"
As soon as Cao Heyi said these words, all the students in the classroom looked at where Yang Ming was. Although Cao Heyi did not mention a surname in his words, everyone knew who Cao Heyi was talking about!
The fat boy Wang Fa sat next to Yang Ming. He dismissed Cao Heyi's remarks. When he was in school, he said that he could make a lot of money by making movies. How could he agree with Cao Heyi's words? He saw Cao Heyi directly pointing the finger at
Xiang Yang Ming couldn't help but feel a little worried! Although this old man is not very good, he has been in the film school for decades and his influence is still quite large!
This shows that there are still a large number of people in the film academy who can’t stand Yang Ming!
Yang Ming sighed helplessly. He really didn't want to get involved in such a vortex of right and wrong, but the more he tried to escape, the more others took advantage of him. Seeing Cao Heyi's unrestrained and aggressive eyes, he stood up suddenly and raised his hand.
The hand shouted loudly: "Report!"
Although Yang Ming was dissatisfied with this old man in his heart, he still had to abide by the basic teacher-student etiquette and not leave anything to say to others!
"What's the matter?" Cao Heyi felt a flash of joy in his heart. The guy finally couldn't help it anymore. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Ming coldly!
"Teacher Cao, although I don't agree with your remarks, I will defend to the death your right to speak. Can I go on stage and express my thoughts?" Yang Ming said calmly.
There was silence in the church, and all the students looked at Yang Ming in shock. Yang Ming's words shocked everyone. There was no reaction for a while, and they just stared at Yang Ming blankly!
After many students realized the meaning of Yang Ming's words, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. Among them, the little fat boy Wang Fa made the loudest noise!
When Cao Heyi heard Yang Ming's words, he was stunned at first, and then became furious. He actually used these words to ridicule and provoke him. He slammed the table hard and said coldly: "Am I the kind of person who doesn't allow others to do so?"
Someone who expresses his opinion?”
After saying that, Cao Heyi stepped aside from the podium and walked to the side, waiting for Yang Ming to come on stage!
Yang Ming was calm and steady, and under the attention of everyone, he slowly walked to the podium!
"Thank you, Teacher Cao, for giving this opportunity to students!" Yang Ming bowed to Cao Heyi and said politely. What he said next was probably more powerful, so he first set his posture and couldn't let others gossip. This world is very important to teachers and students.
Etiquette and human ethics and filial piety are still taken very seriously!
Yang Ming's low profile made everyone present, even those who had any objections to him, have to admire his self-cultivation and magnanimity!
Cao Heyi snorted coldly, twitching the corner of his mouth, but showed no reaction to Yang Ming's respect. In the eyes of the students in the audience, the image of this veteran immediately became much worse!
"My next remarks are just my own thoughts. I do not represent others, nor do I want to be represented by others!" After Yang Ming said this, the students below burst out laughing.
As students who can stand out from thousands of troops and enter the film school, they are naturally a group of people with extremely high IQs. Yang Ming's word "being represented" becomes more and more interesting the more they think about it in their minds!
Indeed, the recent debate between film business and art has become more and more intense. As the forefront of the Chinese film industry, the Film School is naturally the place where various ideas and opinions collide most intensely. These days, students are tired of hearing about those teachers and
Well-known directors who came from film schools often say, "I represent the film school..."
At this time, hearing Yang Ming's words aroused the resonance and approval of all the students below. As young and energetic people, of course they did not want to be represented by others. With the little fat Wang Fa taking the lead in applauding, all the students couldn't help but cheer for Yang.
Ming applauded!
Yang Ming's first words took the lead and made Cao Heyi's face look very ugly!
"Thank you, thank you!" Yang Ming pressed his hands to signal everyone to quiet down, and continued: "I personally think that dividing movies into commercial movies and art movies is purely a standard created by idle people out of boredom, and
I also hate the idea of art movies. There are only two kinds of movies in the world, good and bad, that’s all!”
There was another burst of laughter and applause from the audience, and then there was thunderous applause, causing people in the next classroom, as well as students and teachers passing by, to turn their attention!
"Well said, Yang Ming, I support you. It doesn't matter what commercial film or art film it is. It's really boring!" Wang Fa, the little fat man, was like a support, jumping up and down to cooperate with Yang.
Ming's speech! When he first took the art exam at the film school, the little fat man's boast was to make a lot of money and drive a luxury car by making movies. Naturally, he was very disgusted with so-called art movies!
"Yes, there are only two kinds of movies in the world, good and bad! That's a good statement!"
The other students were also attracted by Yang Ming's theory. At least there are no loopholes in it so far, and it has even reached their hearts!
"We all know the history of the development of movies. It began as a kind of mass entertainment that catered to the needs of urban civilians. It was first used in song and dance amusement parks, and then entered small theaters and was shown after performances; in 1903, Bout's "An American"
"The Life of a Fireman" and "The Great Train Robbery" have made movies develop from a novelty to an art. Therefore, I think the original existence of movies was a way of mass entertainment, but then
Others have given it artistic value!”
"But why do we put so many shackles on a movie that is purely for entertainment and give it too many functions?" Yang Ming asked deeply from the podium.
The students in the audience, as well as Cao Heyi, as well as the many students and teachers standing outside the door who were attracted by Yang Ming's theory, heard Yang Ming's question and asked in their hearts why?
Everyone had a vague impression of the origin of the movie that Yang Ming mentioned before, but they didn't know where they had seen it. Until a classmate dug out a book called "Movie Overview" and found out the paragraph that Yang Ming mentioned.
The words reached the ears of other students and teachers. Everyone was shocked by Yang Ming's knowledge and deeply admired Yang Ming from the bottom of their hearts!
You can notice such details, but the success is not confirmed. It can be seen that Yang Ming usually spends no less time studying than others!
Yang Ming did not immediately answer his previous rhetorical question, but instead said: "Before the ancient Tang Dynasty, books and poetry were in the hands of noble families. That is to say, most of China's cultural inheritance was in the hands of a small number of people.
In this way, the interpretation and final say of everything in the world is entirely in the hands of these so-called elite intellectuals. They hold great righteousness in their hands. If they say you are wrong, you are not right, and you are not right. If they say you can't do it, you can't do it.
It doesn’t work either. I sum it up as follows: You can’t do it if you don’t accept it!”
——Haha, Yang Ming’s humorous words made everyone laugh, and everyone gave them warm applause to express Yang Ming’s wonderful speech!
Yang Ming took a breath, and then continued: "It seems that the codes of conduct in the world are formulated by a few to restrain the public. The common people have no say at all. This phenomenon gradually changes with the progress of the times and the change of dynasties.
There are fewer of them, but they are still there!”
"Now let's look back at the question I just asked, why is it that movies that are originally used by the public for entertainment are given too many colors by others and add complicated art? Why? We can put so many shackles on the movie.
, most of them are the so-called elites, but the audience as consumers have no right to comment on the movie according to their own knowledge!"
——Shua
Cao Heyi's face turned extremely pale when he heard this, and he looked at Yang Ming in horror, while other teachers who realized something also looked at the tall and tall young man standing on the podium with shocked expressions!
"Why do some people think that a movie that is good-looking is a commercial movie full of copper odor? Why is it that a movie that makes the audience feel sleepy is a noble art movie in the eyes of some people, and the public has no right to see it?
Define your favorite movies, but the right to interpret the meaning of these movies is in the hands of a small number of people. Why is this?"
"Because there are still a few people who complicate the meaning of the movie itself, so that no one can understand or understand it. In this way, the right to speak in the final interpretation is in their hands. In this way,
It becomes what I said just now: If you say you are wrong, you are wrong, and if you are right, you are wrong; if you say you are not good, you are not good, and if you are good, you will not be able to do it. If you are not convinced, you will not be able to do it!"
Yang Ming's words were like a thunderbolt hitting the hearts of everyone present. After listening to Yang Ming's words, most people thought of the Golden Dragon Award. In recent years, more and more people can't understand the Golden Dragon Award. The box office is good.
Most of the movies that are popular among the public are not eligible for awards; but those so-called art movies have won many awards!
Is it really this: If you are told that you are wrong, you are neither right nor right? If you are told that you are not good, you are not good, and if you are good, you are not good. If you are not convinced, you are not good.
