The variety show "Director Please Advise" is underway, and in the program you can see one "elaborate" short video clip after another, as well as the comments on the short film by people in the industry and outside the industry. Of course, there will be no shortage of Li Chengru among the commentators, and he is still as quick as ever.
In the first round of PK, the works of the two directors were opposed. One is Liang Long, a second-hand Rose Band, who changed his career to directing, shooting a short film "Crazy Aliens", and the other is a short film "Spring in a New Town" by young director Bi Zhifei. The final score of these two short films was 192 points for Spring in a New Town, while Crazy Aliens scored only 119 points.
However, Liang Long's "Crazy Alien", which the so-called film critics and industry insiders at the scene are angry, has a public attendance rate of only 45% and a professional attendance rate of only 58%. And the professional group besieged Bi Zhifei's "Spring in the New Town", the public attendance rate reached 76%, the professional attendance rate was even 80%, but it was questioned, it is said that the time of the on-site siege of Bi Zhifei reached as much as one hour, and the clips broadcast after editing were also 17 minutes.
Bi Zhifei once made a movie and was equally divided by a platform of 2.2 points. So he wore the title of a bad film director to participate in "Director Please Advise". Therefore, I don't know if it is a preconceived impression that affects everyone's judgment of his directorial level, so although his short films have received high scores, especially the professional attendance rate of 80%, they are still criticized. Li Chengru denied Bi Zhifei's "Spring in a New Small Town" in one bite, and he simply did not admit that it was Bi Zhifei's work. Because this short film is adapted from the classic film "Spring in a Small Town" directed by Faymu in 1948. Li Chengru unceremoniously pointed out that Bi Zhifei was opportunistic, copying the template, he could not play with other works, so he chose to adapt "Spring in a Small Town". It is said that Bi Zhifei only knows that he does not know why. Li Chengru is absolutely ruthless to the young director Bi Zhifei. Interestingly, while Li Chengru and other film critics were besieging Bi Zhifei, other film critics and backstage directors frequently nodded their heads, and some people extended their thumbs. There are even directors who have already scored low scores to say that Bi Zhifei's "Spring in a New Town" is exactly the same as the old movie. It means nothing innovative. Ironically, the professional attendance rate of such a denied short film has reached 80%. And "Spring of the New Small Town" does not exactly copy the original "Spring of the Small Town", and Bi Zhifei has made a new layout in the emotional direction of the characters.
Another short film filmed by Liang Long, "Crazy Alien", was even forced to stop broadcasting because the attendance rate was too low, and it was not finished, but it was highly praised by film critics and producers. Producer Hao Lei said that she liked the short film, the image is very interesting, and stressed that the film is the director's art.
In this way, the general audience and the so-called professionals have formed two camps, and the general audience does not like to watch, but it is highly respected by professionals. Film is the director's art, is it made for the director to see himself, or is it made for the audience to see? From my personal feelings about watching the film, I have the same judgment as the audience. I will also leave in the middle, this short film with no plot and only intentions really can't attract me to watch. Like the director himself said, he just filmed an expression of emotion, and he himself was comfortable. Some film critics say that such a movie needs to be seen four or five times. Then I counted the aesthetic pursuits of the short film. But which ordinary audience member walks into a movie theater to explore the aesthetics of cinema? The only purpose of everyone entering the cinema is to entertain. Liang Long's short films were made for himself, or for professionals, not for the audience. So its attendance rate is only 45%. It is difficult to understand that the "Crazy Aliens" that is unanimously optimistic about Yangchun Baixue, which is unanimously optimistic about professionals, has only given 58% of the attendance rate. It is much lower than the 80% attendance rate of Bi Zhifei's short films that are besieged by them. But they didn't give a clear explanation, which is why.
"Director Please Advise" presents the so-called professionals, who always make the film complex and complicated, and even some film critics say that they want to guide the audience to watch the movie. And what the audience needs is not to watch the movie to be guided and guided, but to watch the movie to be good.
Although Bi Zhifei made a 2.2-point movie, he is a young director, so it is cruel to deny him. Moreover, his short film "Spring in a New Town", although not perfect, is by no means useless, and it can at least attract me to watch it. Which is the bad film, the audience is the judge, after all, the so-called film critics and professionals can not support the box office of the theater!
