I believe that everyone has seen the variety show "Actors Please Take Place", not only the actor's acting skills in the program are difficult for the audience to accept, but even Chen Kaige, Guo Jingming, Li Chengru and several mentors have also staged dog blood dramas such as "scolding war" and "cheating", so that the audience has complained about the show continuously, and the quality of the program has been frequently questioned by netizens.
Now, the sister article of this show has come, it is the variety show "Director Please Advise".
This show is known as the 2021 director support plan, a total of sixteen directors and four producers to participate, the actors invited Hui Yinghong, Li Chengru, Pan Binlong and other powerful factions, but there is also some traffic students, such as Zhu Zhixin, Guo Zifan, Huang Minghao and so on.
As soon as the show started, it seemed very interesting, and the program team asked an embarrassing question to all the actors: Is the director's threshold high? The actors were very cooperative, responding with one word "high".
The reason for the embarrassment is that among these 16 directors, there are very few good directors who can really be regarded as "famous with their talents and established their lives with their works".
So what is the level of these sixteen directors? Who are the really good actors, and who are the real bad directors?
Guan Jinpeng, in the introduction of the program, deliberately marked with the four words "surprise director" after his name, and it turns out that the appearance of Guan Jinpeng does bring many surprises to the audience.
Looking back at Guan's film and television works, classic films such as "Lan Yu", "Ruan Lingyu", "Rouge Buckle" and so on are still fresh in the audience's memory, these works are either The Academy Awards or the Golden Horse Awards have been won, and the awards of the Venice Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival also have trophies in hand.
If the 16 directors are as famous as Guan Jinpeng, the audience will be convinced. What about the facts? Not really.
Let's first look at the director Channing Huang of "Pulling The Big One inside the concrete".
Director Channing Huang is quite simple in the encyclopedia, but he is one of the few remaining 15 directors who has a work of more than 6 points, but a total of 2878 people scored, and 45.3% of the 3 points were scored.
The rest of the directors who can still put on the table are Xiang Guoqiang, Degna, Zeng Zhi, Wang Yichun and several other directors, and some people have won some small awards.
The most interesting director is the number of bags bell.
Bao Bell has been a director for 5 years, and only "Joyful Secret Agent" has just passed 6.2 points, and the most "glorious" work is "Fat Man Action Team", which won the 10th Golden Broom "Most Disappointing New Director Award".
However, director Bao Da feels that the road to directing is a long way to go, and he is also very humble, saying that he is not a genius, and he is still in the stage of ignorance in the directing industry. After five years as a director, he is still in the stage of ignorance, and he is really not a genius.
Bi Zhifei and Bao Bell are no different, or even more miserable, not even a work of breaking three points has been left, is it really with a learning mentality this time?
What is somewhat surprising is that Han Xue, an actor who has never been a director, has also entered the ranks of directors. It is not surprising that the actor wants to be a director, but whether she will be like Wang Baoqiang, after filming the work, carrying home a "golden broom" is not known.
As for Ning Yuanyuan, the daughter of the two related directors Zhang Yuan, and Wang Wen, the daughter of Huayi boss Wang Zhonglei, it is not worth wasting pen and ink, and it is beautiful to look beautiful.
Among the remaining directors, the famous Cai Kangyong is famous, but none of the three films he has directed has passed, and only 5.3 points have been obtained.
In the show, Cai Kangyong also happened a very ridiculous thing, full of confidence, he felt that he had written a good script, and there was a role that he thought was none other than Li Chengru.
Therefore, as soon as he came to power, he issued an invitation to Li Chengru, but Li Chengru did not give this famous mouth face, and refused Cai Kangyong's olive branch for 3 consecutive times. One said, "I can't think of anyone more suitable than you," and the other said, "Let me think, I want to read the script," and the scene was very awkward.
So why did Li Chengru reject Cai Kangyong three times? Is it too pretentious? Still deliberately contrived?
Actually, neither. The real actor takes over the play is very rigorous, not all the scenes will be picked up, or the role will be picked up when it suits.
First, Cai Kangyong has not directed any high-level films, and he does not have the ability to direct talent, and the probability of being able to export high-level films is too small, and Li Chengru will not take this risk.
Second, the script was written by Cai Kangyong himself, he has not been a screenwriter, not to mention how famous he is in the screenwriting industry, and his screenwriting level is debatable, which is why Li Chengru has always said "to read the script and then say" to reject him.
To put it bluntly, Director Cai Kangyong has no qualifications, the screenwriter has no level, why would Li Chengru wade into this muddy water with him?
Of course, the "poisonous tongue" Li Chengru still has some kindness to Cai Kangyong, and it is Not the same when it is Bi Zhifei's turn.
In the program, Bi Zhi was ready to shoot "Spring in a Small Town". This work is a drama film directed by Fei Mu and starring Shi Yu, Li Wei, Wei Wei and Zhang Hongmei, which is a very classic work, which has won the Academy Awards Top 100 Film Champion, and the difficulty can be imagined.
When a crowd of people pinched a handful of sweat for him, Li Chengru finally couldn't bear it anymore and directly opened his mouth: You have the courage to challenge this film, and I understand why you scored two points two on Douban.
A sentence made Bi Zhifei blush and beat his heart, the scene was once embarrassed, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
However, bi Zhifei's two works have a rating of 2.6 and a score of 2.2, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with Li Chengru's doubts about him.
Judging from the current broadcast situation, "Director Please Advise" and "Actors Please Take Place" routines are somewhat consistent, creating various contradictions and gimmicks to attract the attention of the audience.
However, as far as facts are concerned, it is not easy to really be a director, Zhang Ziyi said that the threshold of actors is not so low, the threshold of directors is also very high, not everyone can squeeze in and share a piece of the pie.
Although the good or bad of a work is not all the responsibility of the director, it is at least directly related to the director.
In short, a bad director cannot direct a good drama, and Li Chengru's sentence "The threshold for directors is low now" is also full of irony.
