On November 5, Tencent Video's variety show "Director Please Advise" was quietly launched, and among the four mentor producers, Hong Kong director Wang Jing was very conspicuous.
Speaking of Wang Jing, do you think he is a vulgar fat man who specializes in saliva films, bad films, and even restrictive films? Such a fat man, why did he sit in the tutor's seat?
Wang Jing, born in Hong Kong in 1955, with her ancestral home in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, I don't know if I have searched for my ancestors by the way when recording a program in Ningbo.
His father, Wang Tianlin, is also a generation of filmmakers, the 83rd edition of "The Legend of the Eagle Hero" is his supervising work, won the Golden Bauhinia Lifetime Achievement Award, and the galaxy legend Du Qifeng is his apprentice.
Wang Tianlin started from the field to the actor, screenwriter, director, and producer. People who often watch Hong Kong movies, especially police films, must not be strangers. In the film, the fat man who has a high status and has his own gangster aura is him.
After graduating from the Chinese Department of the University of Chinese in Hong Kong, his son Wang Jing entered the industry at the age of 21 and began his film career, and has completed 197 screenwriting works, 122 directing works, 98 supervising works, a total of 417 film and television dramas in 45 years, which can be described as an amazing output!
It is true that Wang Jing has participated in the production of many purely commercial bad films and restrictive films, but in his film career, it is far more than that, and it cannot be generalized in this way. He has classic works in the positions of director, producer and screenwriter, which is enough to prove that this fat man is really talented and enough to leave a name in the history of Chinese cinema.
The Hong Kong films of the 1980s and 1990s are an indelible and colorful stroke in the history of Chinese cinema, especially in the history of martial arts films.
In this part of the films in the annals of history, Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical "Nine Pin Sesame Officer" and "Deer Ding Ji" (I., II.), the unique martial arts flavor of "The Demon Sect Leader of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens", and the kung fu film "New Shaolin Five Ancestors" that appeals to the helplessness and love of heroes, these classic films with a Douban score of more than 7.5 are all works written and directed by Wang Jing.
These films that are worth brushing one, two brushes, and even taking out decades later to brush again, business and feelings are together.
I have seen someone say (to the effect) that on the directing skills, Wang Jing may indeed not be the top, but he is the director who can tell stories the most.
And he doesn't just tell stories.
In 2003, Chen Kun and Dong Jie's "Golden Powder Family" became a generation of classics. As early as 1980, Hong Kong adapted Zhang Hexhui's original book "Golden Powder Family" and made it into a TV series "Jinghua Spring Dream", with Liu Songren and Wang Mingquan as the protagonists.
The screenwriter of "Jinghua Spring Dream" is Wang Jing, who has just entered the industry.
This Douban rating is as high as 7.9, and it has been more than forty years since the TV series, and some people are still pouring out for him.
In addition to the adaptation, Wang Jing's original screenplay, the self-written and self-directed "Stupid Child", is a surprising existence.
If you have seen "Stupid Child", you must wonder whether this literary and artistic warm and slightly cruel story was really written by the fat man Wang Jing?
With this original script, Wang Jing was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Screenwriter and sent the lead actor Ye Dexian to the Queen of the Academy Awards.
As a screenwriter who entered the industry, he graduated from the Chinese Department of Chinese University, naturally he has a deep foundation in writing, but I don't know why he looks like a pompous and superficial look.
Perhaps this is another kind of "big hidden in the city".
Therefore, the following classmate, in the show, seems to be cool, but it exposes the shortcomings of some parts of his own, Wang Jing smiled lightly, without refutation, I don't know if he is thinking in his heart, with you also deserve it?
For the 2008-2009 film awards, "Day and Night in Tin Shui Wai" was a big winner. And this film that won the Academy Awards for Best Director, Best Film, Best Actress, Supporting Actress, plus Best Newcomer, is produced by Wang Jing.
The film, when released in 2008, was almost zero at the box office.
From another Q&A platform, someone said:
Throwing a complete literary film seems to be inconsistent with his image of crazy start-up commercial films. Such a Douban score is as high as 8.6, warm as water, fresh, delicate, warm and moving.
Why did Wang Jing vote, you ask? I would also like to know.
But I think you could say he's a businessman who knows how to make money, but he's definitely not a filmmaker who only knows how to make money.
Wang Jing, who once brought the goddess in my heart to my childhood, he made a lot of bad films, but in the show, he did not make it difficult for the contestants, nor did he close his eyes and praise the contestants, which proved that his professional ethics was still online.
It's time to reacquaint yourself, filmmaker, Wang Jing.
