Chapter 5 Reexamination

On February 13, 1997, the re-examination of the Department of Literature officially began. Early in the morning, Wang Qinian got up very early and arrived at the examination room early.

There are very few candidates taking the re-examination, only 200. Everyone is concentrated in one screening room to take the exam, rather than scattered in multiple examination rooms like the first test.

Wang Qinian looked around the candidates and thought to himself, how many people can enter the third exam after the re-examination?

The exam officially begins at 8:30 in the morning.

The invigilator distributes the exam paper, and the exam questions are - video analysis and writing, and the video "Qiu Ju Fights". The candidates can play freely and write essays around this movie, with no limit on the subject matter and no limit on the space.

When the movie started to be screened, many candidates had different expressions.

Some people, like Wang Qinian, were naturally happy to watch this movie, but most candidates seemed a little nervous or depressed if they hadn't watched this movie.

It is estimated that only 30% of the candidates are full of confidence and must have watched this movie.

Wang Qinian is obviously one of the candidates who have watched this movie in advance.

Before the movie was finished, Wang Qinian began to write quickly:

“…In general, “Qiu Ju’s Lawsuit” is another Chinese film directed by Zhang Yimou and filmed for foreigners.

Why do you say, "Another"? Because this kind of award-winning movie is already seriously routine and formulaic in my eyes. As long as you shoot according to the "formula", a Chinese director with a certain level caters to the aesthetics of this part of the specific judges and audiences, it is easy to win the award.

According to my analysis, the common feature of many Chinese films winning awards overseas is that it is particularly easy to win awards by Chinese directors filming them for discrediting Chinese works... Of course, these are all off-topics. In addition to depicting some backward appearances in China and the effect of discrediting China, "Qiu Ju Fights" is also a good movie!"

Wang Qinian bit his pen and knew that the beginning of the movie was to blackmail some of the unspoken rules of overseas award-winning movies. It was not the purpose, but just to draw the sword and let the examiners know that they have their own opinions and opinions on the film industry.

The following text should be praised by Zhang Yimou's movies. After all, Zhang Yimou is a signature brand of Beijing Film Academy. If Zhang Yimou is worthless, it is equivalent to slapping Beijing Film Academy in the face. No matter how talented such a student is, Beijing Film Academy will not accept it.

"…The "Qiu Ju Ju's Sue" vividly describes the social landscape of China in the early 1980s and 1990s. Through the movie, we can objectively understand some of the social landscapes of the early reform and opening up. It is almost a panoramic picture of the social landscape similar to the Qingming River Map. However, the Qingming River Map depicts an ancient big city, and "Qiu Ju" depicts a village and a small county town. Through the vision of the protagonist Qiu Ju, the villages and grassroots appearances of the county towns in the early 1990s..."

"However, Qiuju's constant petitions have also exposed a problem - China's grassroots and a society of human relationships, and both law enforcement officials and the masses have very weak legal awareness.

This depiction of China's "ugly" side will help win the Film Award. However, it will damage our overall image and cannot be compensated by the honor of one or two film awards.

For example, Koreans can only shoot good films, handsome men and handsome women, and various beautifications and unreal scenes that have been decorated. Art has no art, acting has no acting skills. However, they rely on assembly lines to launch idols, allowing Korean pops to gradually rise, and they will replace Hong Kong and Taiwan and become the trend of Asian fashion. After visiting South Korea, they found that their shooting was fake and could not reflect the real South Korea. However, their boastful and whitewashing has huge economic benefits.

The film and television works of Korean pop are broadcast overseas, which will make foreign fans have a positive impression of South Korea, and will become soft advertisements for Korean consumer goods. Many products such as clothing, cosmetics, furniture, mobile phones, TVs, cars, etc., thus gaining huge economic benefits.

Hollywood also beautifies American technology and modernization in movies. Therefore, their movies are not just cultural influence, but also increase the overall influence of national products.

Due to the time of exams and length of articles, we cannot comment on such a large topic in the film market for the time being. Let’s continue to talk about the movie “Qiu Ju’s lawsuit” itself.

The main line of this movie is that Qiu Ju keeps petitioning and wants to sue the village chief. The dispute is not a big grudge, but just a fight for intention.

The cause of the conflict was that Qiu Ju's family illegally built a lazi building in the field. As the village chief of the country's grassroots cadres, they must do their duty to stop this behavior. In this process, there was a quarrel between the two sides. Qiu Ju's husband insulted the village chief and said that his behavior was "a last son and a grandson". Therefore, the village chief became angry and the two began to have direct physical conflicts, that is, fighting. During the fight, they acted too much and kicked Qiu Ju's husband's lower body.

It is illegal for Qiu Ju’s family to build a spicy building in the field. The village chief’s behavior of beating people is definitely illegal. Enforcing the law with illegal acts shows that the legal awareness of grassroots cadres in our country is weak.

Qiu Ju reported to the police for the first time to protect her rights. The police officers made a judgment on this. The village chief compensated 200 yuan for medical expenses and lost work expenses, and apologized to Qiu Ju's husband.

The village chief accepted the public security judgment for economic compensation, but refused to apologize. He also put the 200 yuan on the ground and asked Qiuju to pick it up.

Qiu Ju believes that the village chief’s behavior is insulting his personality, and refuses to accept it. Instead, he continues to petition and wants to ‘have an explanation’.

In the following plot, Qiuju keeps petitioning and goes to the town, county, and city to petition. The road requires fares, food and accommodation fees, and he pays a lot of economic costs to get an explanation.

Of course, the doctors, police, officials, and lawyers that Qiu Ju meets in the movie can be said to be good people, including the village chief, and has not yet abandoned the purpose of "serving the people". The worst person Qiu Ju meets may be the tricycle driver who pulls a cart, and she also detours in the city in order to collect more money.

The dramatic conflicts one by one, it can be seen that director Zhang Yimou's skills are superb. Focusing on the "conflict" is the most important element in the plot of this movie, making even the ordinary story plot not look boring at all.

However, this movie not only has the "dramatic conflict" like textbooks, but also has the "twist" of Chinese characteristics. At the end of the plot, it is obviously showing off its skills and twists and turns.

Logically speaking, the village chief should hate Qiu Ju very much because he is constantly petitioning and is preparing to deal with the village chief.

However, when Mid-Autumn Ju was difficult to give birth, most people in the village went out to watch the show. The village chief ignored the past and carried Qiu Ju to the hospital in the middle of the night in the snow. If there were no village chief, Qiu Ju and his son might be in danger of their lives.

At the end of the film, Qiuju and the village chief turned into war and gave up the idea of ​​"seeking an explanation" because she had actually forgiven the village chief. When the child was full of the month, she was preparing to invite the village chief to have a wedding banquet.

At this moment, a dramatic scene appeared in the movie - the village chief was arrested.

Because, the lawsuit against Qiu Ju in the Intermediate People's Court for suing the village chief took effect, and the Intermediate People's Court sentenced the village chief to be detained for 15 days.

In the last scene of the movie, Qiuju keeps chasing the police car in the snow. What is her mood? It's really interesting..."

In short, Wang Qinian clearly criticized Zhang Yimou's ideological errors in the movie "Qiu Ju Fighting".

But Zhang Yimou's film level is still praised. Because Zhang Yimou's film level is taught by Beijing Film Academy.
