Behind the scenes of "Riding the Wind and Waves", director Han Han has no love for racing cars and Xu Lang

On January 16, 2017, the 2016 season of the China Rally Championship (CRC) ended, and Subaru China Rally Team driver Han Han successfully completed the final battle, successfully won the driver's championship of the season, and ushered in his fifth driver's championship trophy at the CRC. And his movie "Riding the Wind and Waves" is being screened in major theaters across the country, and the box office has exceeded 700 million in the 11 days of release.

The author of this article: Zhang Lei Kong Peng has been reprinted with permission from Tencent Sports

"Eh! I was great last time! ...... As a director of a debut film, so calm, restrained... Although in the lines, everyone feels that there are a lot of golden sentences, but all the shots are used, there is no close-up, no long mirror, no upgrading, almost none of this, which is almost impossible in the first works of other directors. ”

On January 21, Han Han's new film "Riding the Wind and Waves" was held in Beijing's Guomao area. His day's itinerary revolves around this area. After the press conference, he and the main actors shot posters for the New Year's Eve - a layer of foundation painted for the photo made him very uncomfortable, and afterwards he repeatedly wiped it off with wet paper towels. Then there's the wheel-by-wheel interview.

At that time, people who watched the test screening praised him: great progress, a lot of growth, and a high degree of completion.

He minded the assessment.

It is used for comparison, which is one of the social functions of "Han Han", including comparison with his own. He is like a TV series that has been serialized since the late 1990s: the first season of "Genius Teenagers Are Quick-witted, Writing Competitions Are Blockbuster", Season 2 "Rebellious Dropout, Declare War on Exam Education", and Season 3 "Play Away!" Han Zhongyong wrote books to circle money only to play racing", the fourth season "Citizen Han Han is already a mainstay in society, and it is well known that Han Han drums and shouts for social reform", the fifth season "Bitterly boiling a bowl of inspirational chicken soup, the driver Han Han topped the annual championship", the sixth season "Suspected ghostwriting, who is 'Han Han'", the seventh season "Han Han's directorial debut is not satisfactory, the golden sentence movie box office exceeded 500 million", the eighth season is probably "Straight male cancer Han Han has become the kind of adult we hate the most".

Others see him as one of the "descriptions of China's contemporary survival experience," and he describes his life as "like an animated film." ...... Only animation can you draw there without considering the realistic conditions. ”

I enjoy that startling feeling

Han Han originally wanted to sit in the co-pilot. Seeing a pile of books in the back seat, he changed his mind. Those books, waiting at the pit during the race. Now waiting here again. In the past three days, I don't know how many people have been tossed around. He doesn't sign a book during the race, which is a typical driver "superstition", and it is a reason that people who keep up with the table cannot bring books.

The inner pages of "Miscellaneous Texts" and "Lovely Flood Beasts" are sandwiched with the owner's small request: Please write "Ride the Wind and Waves". Han Han didn't see that. He grabbed a pen and touched it in the black and began to sign, hiding his face on the seal. He signed it so mechanically that he signed the Accident Handling Book at the bottom.

"Oops, I'm fucking." Like a child who accidentally stepped on a worm, he laughed and jumped away in shock, with a little self-deprecation.

This is January 16, 2017, the day han won the national rally championship for the fifth time, on the way to the team's celebration banquet. From the moment he announced Han Han's victory, his face couldn't hide his smile.

After the second stage of the race, he stepped out of the car with a serious face and complained about the tyres: our tyres were inferior to our opponents.

The length of the nails used by the opponent for the ice and snow track exceeded the previous standards of the FCA, but due to the large number of teams using this tire, the PA decided to adjust the nail length regulations to match them. Han Han's Subaru team is confined to tire sponsors who cannot use spike tires.

His friend Lou Hao, director of "China Grand Prix," said he was "above the seven emotions"—a Cantonese word that describes a person as moody and angry.

The young man who became famous was happy to design his own life path, and he was not in the city, but he was always able to appear in the right place at the right time with a lot of luck — xia Qing, the owner of the Shanghai Volkswagen 333 team, said he had "good intuition", and his publisher Lu Jinbo said that he used his "talent to react intuitively". In the eyes of some older people, Han Han's today has many heavenly ingredients.

Including the production speed of "Riding the Wind and Waves", filming began in September 2016, and it was completed in December, and Longbiao got the 001 number in 2017, which was scheduled to be released in the Spring Festival in late January. The market's judgment of such a speed is either a miracle or a fool.

Han Han explained very carefully: the special effects and music in the post were mentioned to the early stage, which took nearly half a year; the actor entered the group shooting, he would make adjustments according to the objective conditions and the characteristics of the actors, the thinking was clear and appropriate to compromise, and the progress was guaranteed; the post-editing follow-up was compact, the first day of shooting, the next day it was cut out, and the wheel superposition was advanced; the overall packaging color grading was to wrap all the sheds of the two major production companies in Beijing and complete it in a concentrated manner; all the transactional work before the release was tightly linked, the procedures were strict, and the time bite was excellent.

Similar to previous years, the 2016 National Rally Championship schedule is a far cry from the one released at the beginning of the year. Cancellations, changes, conditions continued, and no races were held between September and December, which made Han Han lucky to juggle the movie and racing.

After the game, Han Han rested in a hotel in Changchun, and when we chatted, we said that the white hair on his right sideburns seemed to be heavy, and he was "Nani" (Japanese "what?). He bounced up from his seat and looked in the mirror, "It must be that the right brain is used more." The right brain is responsible for imagination. ”

When the staff knocked on the door to urge him to attend the team celebration dinner on time, we talked about the production process. Han Han didn't want to stop at all, although he replied to the staff very kindly, promising to leave immediately.

"Just like the game, I was full of hope to give someone a risk. Since we are a new film company, we especially want to show you how much our production process can be as far as the limit can be, and the most critical premise, of course, is to ensure quality. It's like the premise of the game is to win the championship. ”

He went out of his way to break down the concepts of shooting time and production time, citing that the actual shooting time of well-known films was as short as it was, in order to counter his remarks that short shooting time was equivalent to shoddy and attacked him.

"The industrial process of film is the last thing to be lazy about." "The simplest truth is that you now sign all the actors in China, as long as they are first-line and second-line, the actors give you 30 to 40 days of time, you say you have to shoot for four months, then what are you shooting in the remaining 100 days? Take a picture of the scenery? So a lot of people don't know so much about the real film industry. ”

He wore the long black down jacket that had aroused questions on the set, and was carrying a backpack with a flying neck pillow tied to the top handle. The northeast accent of the elevator entrance was noisy and shouting, and he was not disturbed at all, "Everyone thinks that the industrial process can't finish this thing, but we just finish it, and everyone will think when they see the film: How did you complete it?!" I just enjoy this..."

"Other people's surprises, aren't they?"

The word "Yes..." was almost topped out by his laughter.

"Very childish idea." He evaluates himself.

From the elevator to the car, he still did not forget the topic, after mistakenly signing the "Accident Handling Book", he automatically turned back, saying that he had always respected and enjoyed the development of industrial processes, and this respect and enjoyment was an extension of his feelings for machinery.

"Just like I respect the car itself and don't overdo it, I use the car very economically because I know a lot of the brutal action not only the car can't stand it, but most importantly, it doesn't make you faster."

Winning the championship is another kind of sadness

When he first entered the racing circle fifteen years ago, Han Han also carried this kind of publicity. On a BBS called "Car Net", he named "Fujiwara Fumita", which is the father of the driver of the protagonist of the head text D. At that time, the racing reporter Lou Hao remembered, "He was more rampant in the forum, we didn't want to see him, I thought he was a little fart." ”

At that time, Han Han's words left a deep impression on Lou Hao: So-and-so is fast because he has a good car, if I drive this car, I can kill him.

The teenager's words attracted the spray of everyone. Looking back, Lou Hao said, "He didn't run very well at that time, and now I see, a large part of the reason is also what he said, the car is not good." ”

At that time, Han Han's grades were bad, and no one would help him pursue the problem of the car.

He bought his first car, Beverly Wilshire, with the money from The Triple Gate. I thought I couldn't buy a Jetta, that's a northeast taxi; I couldn't buy Santana, that's a Shanghai taxi. After buying Fukang, he sent it to Beijing for modification and found that it was a taxi in Beijing.

It cost 1450,000 to buy a car, "increase the encirclement and increase it to 170,000, brush some flower paint, and feel very good." In fact, those 2000 pieces are not worth it, that is, ignorant outsiders. Racing reporter Fang Zhao said.

Now that the five-timers think back on their first car, "it was very uncomfortable to watch someone else's particularly good car whistle past,...... It was particularly uncomfortable, at that time in Beijing, with the girlfriend in Beijing, it was particularly sad. I said, I actually drive quite well, no one believes me, give me a good car. ”

He brought his own car to join the best team of the time, Red River. He was insignificant to the convoy. Lou Hao recalled, "Recruiting him as a star character was not to value his skills or (have expectations) about his future. After entering, the conditions were also very harsh, there was no salary, and he used everything he needed, all using his fame. He was also a very feather-loving person, and he felt very unhappy. ”

Among the things that cannot be accepted by the driver Han Han, including the day when the leader comes and wants to see the star, he will accompany him to dinner. No one sees him as a real driver. The car broke down, and the team promised to help repair it, but to collect another fee.

Han Han, who is at the lowest point, "will not communicate with anyone in the racing circle." Lou Hao said, "Even the relationship with the pilot is not good, and the pilot (should be) the closest, and the pilot is sleeping together, the same room..."

Han Han will occasionally mention the difficulty of getting started in articles.

His first "sponsorship" was six tires "donated" by Michelin's friends, and in return he spent thousands of dollars to plaster the car with Michelin stickers. Friends want to say nothing about it. Word came before the race that he would tear up the stickers, because the HQ foreigners were upset to see a car that popped up out of nowhere with their logos on it – Michelin "generally only sponsors drivers who can win". In the middle of the race, Han Han's car broke down, and other cars sped past his eyes one by one, rolling dust and sand. A friend called to greet me and asked: Did the sticker tear up?

Failure was a shame that Han Han could not tolerate. He sent the car directly to the auto repair shop that day and did not return to the maintenance station of the organizing committee.

Because of the BMW Formula competition, Han Han met Xia Qing in Malaysia. The latter did not have any optimistic judgment on the talent and future of the little fellow in front of him, but felt that Shanghainese helped Shanghainese and "must cultivate Shanghainese drivers". Han Han's racing career has since been on track. Like his first formal job, he quickly learned and practiced the laws of survival for the strong.

Teams only pay the most basic salaries to nameless riders, but there will always be a decent car. A team with strength, with multiple cars competing at the same time, only looks at the top two. In other words, basically no one cares what the number three or four drivers run.

All resource allocation is match-oriented. The first driver returns to the maintenance station, as long as there is enough time, all the accessories are replaced to ensure "zero risk". The accessories of the second driver are checked and changed. The third driver is, seeing the problem, and then change.

The same goes for the tires. Driver One came back and got a new tire. Driver No. 2 came back, checked the wear and tear, and continued to use it, and replaced it if it could not be used. Driver Number Three is, picking up the tires that Driver Number One has replaced.

Even everyday activities outside of racing have this distinction. The lunch of the no. 1 and no. 2 drivers is made by someone or made alone, and the no. 3 driver eats a box lunch. Drivers No. 1 and No. 2 rest in the air-conditioned room, and Rider No. 3 rest in the tent. Drivers No. 1 and No. 2 sit next to the boss at the celebration banquet, and Driver No. 3 sits with the others.

"Very realistic." Lou Hao said, "There is no complaint, you can't get there, you can't get there." "The sense of honor is also reflected here."

In this law of the jungle, the mistakes of drivers one and two are the opportunities of driver three. Once the first two drivers have withdrawn, the third driver has won the points well, accumulating the number of critical appointments, and can win the possibility of advancement.

The racing circle is also a jianghu, and there are rules in the jianghu. The rules are simple and clear, and they are all on the table. The drivers are friends off the field and opponents on the field. The first is the championship, the rest is loss. The champion is glorified, and the second is nothing.

"[The person who loses] can't be unconvinced, he can't be unconvinced. Because everyone knows that winning is all together by chance, all the benefits are to you, and losing this year is because some things are not enough, you have to find a way to solve it yourself. Lou Hao said.

Han Han accepted the rule: "... You know you can do it, others think you may be able to do it, then, less nonsense, do it again, other resentment is falsehood. If you don't show your own light, you shouldn't blame others for not having vision. He said in the blog post "Chunping, I did it."

In 2012, when he wrote this blog post, he entered the racing industry for 10 years, winning the double titles in track and rally, and no second driver has yet done so.

For more than a decade, the competition that his friends and colleagues talked about most was also the counterattack of the Zhuhai station of the field race that year.

At that time, Han Han's test drive was very bad, but the qualifying race grabbed the pole position. Before the official start of the race, the team's tire change could not be completed when the 3-minute card was lifted at the race - although the team believed that the time interval between the 10-minute card and the 3-minute card was not enough to cause them to make a mistake, but the consequence that had to be suffered was that Han Han was punished and retired to the fifteenth place, that is, the third-to-last starting place. In the field race, such a start means that there is no chance of winning the championship.

"The team's personnel are all gone crazy. For the team, the race was over. All the team personnel have no way to accept this fact. Ye Yong, the manager of the 333 team, recalled that a maintenance person said to him at that time, "During the race, I really wanted to stand in front of the front and stop all the cars, and not allow them to start." "At the last moment, there was another maintenance worker who was beating the bolt with a kilogram board, which was carried away by the referee.

"It's especially like a handover bell, you are still writing the last question before you finish, and the invigilator takes away your paper, which is particularly desperate." Ye Yong said.

Han Han could feel the anxiety of the team, saying that his first reaction was "I go", then "a bunch of dirty words", "sitting in the car and trying to eat the steering wheel". But the convoy could not see his expression, only his voice on the intercom – no blame, succinct confirmation of the car condition and departure location.

After the departure, on the first lap, Han Han chased to the fifth; the second lap, chased to the fourth; the fourth lap, standing firm in third place, five seconds slower than the first He Xiaole, and then overtook Jiang Tengyi in the front of the straight, and overtook He Xiaole in the ninth round on the big straight, and finally won the championship with an advantage of nearly four seconds.

Ye Yong praised Han Han for his "tenacity", "not discouraged when encountering difficulties", calmly coping, and "not too disturbed by external factors" - this is probably a temperament he maintains on and off the field.

This counterattack made Han Han ask when he saw his friend for a long time:, right?

He enjoys the joy of winning and doesn't get tired of it, especially for the champion, "hoping to get ten (overall champions)".

"After you have all kinds of annoying things, you are even happier when you have happy things."

After winning the championship this time, when it comes to this year's "not easy", Han Han once choked up - this is an expression he rarely uses.

Asked him afterwards why he choked up, he didn't say that he coughed all the way from the set to the chronic laryngitis on the field, nor did he say that he didn't sleep for up to 48 hours, "In the ice and snow, those technicians dragged their noses to work, (I) just think it's not easy." For so many years, our convoy is not the richest of these convoys..."

In the racing circle (or wider), the top teams have maintained their peak form for only three or five years, there are always changes, there is no eternal king. Subaru racing took part in 13 cars at its peak, but now there are only two. As the number one driver, Han Han is well aware that the team's task is to protect himself and his teammate Mark's car. He is also well aware that the importance of his individual championship is that the team has given him all the best resources.

In a 2012 interview with Southern People Weekly, Han Han mentioned that standing in a 100-story building in a luxury hotel, he was uneasy. This uneasiness stemmed from his inability to get off the ground, leaving him extremely insecure. It's also that, "I feel guilty," "I don't feel guilty, and I don't know where guilt comes from." But he would think, "If only everyone could [live here]..."

Today's Han Han no longer has the frustration of facing that wild cannon Fukang, "For me, in the past ten years, I have been in a very good team, and I may also drive the top racing car in China,...... It's also the best result in the rally, but you'll have another kind of sadness, but you can't tell. ”

After two turns, Han Han still insisted on not being able to describe the "sadness", and he even squeezed out a sentence in English to conclude the problem: "It's quite hard to say."

Xu Tailang in "Riding the Wind and Waves" commemorates Xu Lang, the driver of "love and agreement"

Han Han gave "Riding the Wind and Waves" the English name "Duckweed", "Duckweed".

It is a name that is always appropriate in the sense that "life is constant and impermanent". The director didn't explain much about this either.

In the movie "Ride the Wind and Waves", the gang brother played by racing driver Gao Huayang was stabbed in the heart by a real estate tycoon played by singer Lee Young-ho with an umbrella. Later, the umbrella drifted away along the river.

Han Han named the protagonist of the film "Xu Tailang", which comes from the driver Xu Lang, "commemorating a friend with a name".

Xu Lang was once the top rally driver in China. In 2008, he participated in the Cross-Orient Marathon Cross-country Rally, and while helping others drive a car stuck in the mud, the steel rope of the trailer accidentally broke and hit Xu Lang in the head. He was only 32 years old at the time of his death.

Han Han knows Xu Lang with the Shanghai Volkswagen 333 team, "He is my introductory teacher of rally in the true sense of the word. ”

Before that, Han Han had seen Liu Bin driving: actually a Jetta, can still drive like that, it is too remarkable. He has also seen Zhou Yong drive: driving so delicately and very precisely. The abstract admiration that these excellent domestic drivers brought to Han Han was far greater than the grippers that could be learned and understood.

"At that time, you didn't know anything, sitting in their car, the whole stupid thing felt so bad, but I didn't know how to make it." Later, after you slowly have a little accumulation of your own, the learning ability at this time is countless times that of before. ...... When you slowly grasped the original center of gravity shift, at that time, I met Xu Lang. ”

▼Han Han and Xu Lang (right)

Regarding Xu Lang, there are all kinds of crazy stories circulating in the rivers and lakes.

Nong'an's ice and snow track is located in a local reservoir, and patches of reeds are frozen in Taiping Lake, forming the boundary of the track. Racing reporters lie in the reeds waiting for the roaring car to swing the bend. In the distance, there was a lonely house with three figures on the roof, watching the game.

Racing reporter Fang Zhao wrapped his camera in a warm handbag and spoke about Xu Lang in a burst of roar:

Think of that year, Xu Lang, a Wuyi man in Zhejiang Province, drove a large cargo, and his friend Wang Wenchao drove a large passenger - a long-distance bus from Shanghai to Wuyi. Xu Lang bought a Santana and sent it to Hebei for modification. After the change, drive back, calculate the time when Lao Wang will leave from Shanghai, and the two will meet on the road at what time. Xu Lang excitedly handed the car to Lao Wang: This is a racing car! Then he went to pick up Lao Wang's class to open a big guest. Lao Wang drove Santana in front, and Xu Lang drove a big guest to chase after him. A cart of guests all threw up. Lao Wang was complained by passengers and fired from the company.

After that, the two ganged up to participate in the race, Xu Lang drove the car in front, Lao Wang drove a logistics car to chase in the back, seeing that it was almost there, Lao Wang chased the tail and crashed the car. Called a trailer and dragged his ass into the arena. The organizing committee said that tomorrow's race, you drag a car, no matter what, it will not pass the test.

Xu Lang pleaded with someone: first accept my registration, if the car repair is not good, the registration fee does not have to be refunded; if it is repaired and passed the inspection, you have to let me participate.

Unable to withstand the soft grinding and hard bubbles, the tournament agreed.

Xu Lang, who participated in the race as he wished after repairing the car overnight, won the second place in the 2,000-group cup and the second place in the N2 group. The organizing committee said to Chen Xuezhong, a famous racing driver and leader of the China Automobile Federation: "Teacher Chen, you can go and see it, a farmer in Zhejiang won the second place in the first running race, which is really good." ”

Xu Lang is also famous for practicing cars in Wuyi. Folk training cars can not do road closure, the local people have trained a self-protection skills. Xu Lang first slammed the throttle three times before going out, and the people who heard this sound rushed to tell each other: Xu Lang has gone down the mountain! Put the kids away! Chickens, ducks, geese and dogs are all circled!

At Xu Lang's funeral, Han Han cried bitterly and couldn't help himself.

"Train with him in Wuyi, I ride in his car, he sits in my car. In fact, the number of times is not very much, there are two or three times. The number of kilometers is not very much, it may be tens of kilometers. But it was at that moment, it was a 'rubbing', I suddenly knew how to open the rally, and at that time I thought: Xu Lang drove really well, but I knew that I could do it too. ...... He simply taught you something, and you instantly understood how it works. ”

Xia Qing said that Xu Lang and Han Han "have a very good temper", "both of them are children's tempers, they are very open-minded, there is no ghost head, there is no scheming." ...... [The two of them] should be in agreement. When Xia Qing talked about Xu Lang, his tone carried the pity of the elders: "Xu Lang is also more childish." Also very good to deal with, completely undefended. Whether with the technician or other drivers, Xu Lang will take the initiative to talk and compete, even if it is a driver who is lower than his own level," there is no shelf that is compatible with the technical level. ”

Speaking of Xu Lang's naked state, Xia Qing couldn't help but laugh a little: "Mentally speaking, I seem to think that Han Han is a little older than him." ”

Han Han said that Xu Lang was different from himself, that he was "particularly cheerful and self-disciplined." "I am self-disciplined in big things, and particularly indisciplined in small things." He used to be like that kind of hooligan and then became a driver. I can't do what he did. If I were a goon, I would still be a hooligan driver, maybe (driving) pretty fast, but still a hooligan. I think for him, the [racing] thing changed his whole person, changed his destiny and his life. Of course, the last misfortune may also be related to this, but I still think that this is still quite remarkable. ”

Not only for Xu Lang, but also for the sport of motorsport to shape Today's Han Han.

In an interview after winning the championship in 2012, he said of watching the Hong Kong-Kyo Rally as a child, "seeing them driving in the woods, my blood boiled." "I'm thankful for the sport that gave me a whole new mental state, otherwise if I had been writing, my mental state wouldn't be the way it is now." And it will make me write better. Because you will experience more things from exercise. ”

Writing, racing, making movies... What else

Writing, racing, and making movies, according to Han Han, these were his three childhood dreams. According to popular parlance, he is a self-actualizing "life winner." However, the intensive attention that Han Han received was not a concrete achievement in these three things, but the path of these three events and the abstract topics derived around them.

No matter which industry it is, Han Han is a halfway killed Cheng Biting Jin. He did a good job, but his most prominent feature was to maintain a sense of alienation and not to be grouped.

In racing circles, relationships are a little more intimate. After the results got better, Han Han "also became cheerful." In previous years, when he was not so busy, he would drink tea with everyone after the game and swing the dragon gate line until the second half of the night. In front of acquaintances, "No one is a star when he is a star, and he also enjoys the process of not being a star." Lou Hao said, "Man, there is a saying about it, if you have been seen when you are poor, you are either very afraid of this (person), do not want to see this (person), (or) you want to open, it does not matter." Han Han adopted this attitude towards his old friends in the racing circle. But in recent years, he has become increasingly timeless.

In terms of writing, he made no secret of his antipathy to "literati being light".

When filming the movie, one of his actors said, "This is the first time I've been in a crew that doesn't have a boot-up or shut-off banquet."

The social activities he refuses make many "adults" around him feel that they do not meet the pros and cons. Publisher Lu Jinbo recalled that when former US President Barack Obama petitioned China, the embassy asked Han Han to participate in a meeting event, but Han refused. “...... He doesn't like to be hilarious and doesn't like to perform according to other people's procedures. If you just talk to Obama, you can talk about it. But when you go there, you can't be late for a few minutes, and you can't help yourself, you are just a pawn in that field. In contrast, Han Han will go to a concert and present flowers on stage because he likes a singer.

On the way to the convoy celebration feast, we talked about what we want to do next if we have achieved all three goals in life. The driver navigates, and the sound of the machine broadcasts like a buffer for this conversation that has fallen silent several times. When the topic jumped to the abstract field, Han Han rarely showed that he wanted to talk and stopped.

"One thing is that I want to do these three things better. In addition, these three things, how to say it, when you do it, you find that everyone may feel that they are engaged in the industry... How to describe it... It's not like I thought it was, it wasn't so standardized. ”

The next question is old-fashioned: To be a changer of circumstances, or an adaptor?

As you know, one of Han Han's dazzling labels is to challenge existing offenders.

"For me, of course, I want to change the environment. But the truth is often... Everyone uses the nail tire of the violation, then OK, this violation becomes the standard, and often this is the final result. He said again in a less certain tone, "For me, I want to change the environment." With that, he turned his head and looked out the window. The bones and bathrooms along the road in this typical northeastern Chinese city flashed bright or ambiguous light on his face, switching between paving as the vehicle moved, flickering on and off.

"But the environment is a strange thing. ...... Some people have such a personality, and they want to change in any kind of environment... What he likes is change itself. He seemed to be dissecting himself, "I don't know if I like to change itself, or if I just want a better environment." ”

"500 meters ahead, go straight at the traffic light intersection." Navigation is inserted at the right time in this blank space.

We talked about a question on Zhihu about whether Han Han had fulfilled his promise in a blog post at the end of 2011, "To Be Free": "If after two or three years, the situation [of cultural freedom] has not improved, at each session of the Writers' Association or the National Congress of the Federation of Literary and Literary Associations, I will be present at the scene or at the door to observe and protest." ...... Of course, I am alone, have no companions, and do not incite readers. Zhihu replied very seriously that Han Han had not fulfilled his promise, but I think he had the following three possible reasons: the first was that he did not dare to achieve it, the second was that he felt that he should not achieve it, and the third was that he was discouraged.

Han Han's explanation includes the sum of the discussions in these three situations.

"What you actually want to do is push, push is simple, just hope that this thing produces beneficial results." I thought it would be beneficial for me to do this (to meditate on the Literary Union), but (later) I thought it would be useless for you to do it. Because you do, it's easy to get caught and get rid of all your efforts for good. And then what is the end result? Is the end result a progression in public opinion? No. It is to watch the lively clapping of hands to be fast. ”

He said that the change in the public opinion environment, from the blog era at least needs to be systematic speech to the microblog era fragmented speech, the threshold is lowered at the same time, rationality is also decreasing. "The meaning is dissolved." He said, turning his head out the window again.

The navigation prompts us to enter another district of Changchun City.

"The human psyche is that it likes to see (other) people fall from high positions. So in this case, you must (first) plump your wings, otherwise even if you are like me, you will be over in minutes. This kind of game over is not a game over that doesn't allow you to speak or what kind of game over, but something on the heart. ”

It was probably his worst media statement, and we were stunned by him. He rushed to confess: "I can't express it very bluntly, so I talk in circles... That is, before you thought more about how the world and this society are, but now you understand that more human nature is like this. ”

On the awkward track where he was asked to tear off the Michelin sticker, Han Han "wept silently for the rally for the first time."

"Know that if you're a controversial figure, once you don't do a good job, people's ridicule of you is likely to hit you." This is his previous interpretation of the "heart", which to some extent supports his consideration at the moment.

After the sharp edge of the teenager, he gradually understood the need to protect his inner strength. This protection, which includes caution and compromise, also includes the fullness of wings to defeat powerlessness with strength.

"The higher you stand, or the more success you usher in, the deeper the abyss." Now he said so.

Stepping out of the car, when the flickering neon lights no longer shone on his face, the young man with hesitation was gone. On January 21, in the face of the media, audiences, and film critics, he changed back to Han Han, a strong man who cleverly avoided the soft area of his heart.

▼ Stills from "Ride the Wind and Waves"

Behind the scenes of "Riding the Wind and Waves", director Han Han has no love for racing cars and Xu Lang

Film critic Mei Xuefeng admitted that in "Riding the Wind and Waves", Han Han is good at shaking baggage, and the comedy design is "very smart", but his words turn sharply: "The place where I am not satisfied is that the best comedy is actually criticism, and it must be pointed out... I used to think of your writings, and I thought you should be more ambitious,...... But I felt as if Han Han was too easygoing now. ”

In this regard, Han Han has his rebuttal.

"Some people like realism and criticism, and they feel that the highest state of comedy is criticism. Some people like to warm people's hearts, then (let's say) the highest state of comedy is healing. Everyone's judgment of the highest state is different. After driving in a gentle turn, he made a sharp turn: "I didn't study the highest realm, this is the highest realm." Then he went on a smooth path again, and his tone became thoughtful: "I can understand the teacher's meaning, he wants us to have more realist criticism, especially in this country and society, the current situation is more precious." 」 That is true. But this theme really can't be put in. ”

In the movie, he doesn't like to travel through the film where the protagonist goes back to the past and cheats with known skills, so his protagonist still stubbornly clings to the dream of making a fortune on the BP machine; when the real estate developer drives a bulldozer to rumble into the life of the town, his protagonists choose to smash the machine and the people who control the machine for their brothers; when the villain in the first half of the film is anti-water, he makes the cute villain say: "All are small people, don't talk big, just live." ”

Film critics commented on this gentle Han Han: the details are still critical and sharp, but the overall play is a warm bag.

"The whole is not important, I think nature is the most important. It's what you have to do to get to this point. It's like when you're driving, you get to this bend, you have to do these movements. ”
