The third issue of "Director Please Advise" is coming! Cai Kangyong directed "Romeo Is Still Alive" and emotionally interpreted "Water Margin" with Peking Opera as the carrier. Frustrated "Romeo", unworthy of love, powerless to grasp the lover, betrayed by the lover and apprentice at the same time, is compromise and old age really the best answer?
A deliberate arrangement by the frustrated "Romeo" after a full house of applause, but still alone. In the film "Romeo is Still Alive", directed by Cai Kangyong and starring actors Wang Quanyou, Zeng Li and Jiang Chao, an unexpected answer is given.
Choosing to borrow the traditional love story from Peking Opera, it explores a life dilemma that happened to the elderly, and it is accompanied by Shakespeare's classic story as a narration, and the two echo each other.
This idea can be said to be another way, really quite a surprise, there is a sense of natural success, it can be seen that director Cai Kangyong is not only a deep cultural heritage, but also a gentle person ~ did not expect that Cai Kangyong's directing ability is also so strong, this work is really amazing to me, the communication and cooperation between the actor and the director is also very good, to create such a successful work, a very meaningful attempt and breakthrough!
In the exchange session, we once again learned Kang Yong's way of speaking. He was well aware of his shortcomings and understood that the ten-minute short film volume could not carry the original script content, so he had the intervention of the narrator. When film critics pointed out his shortcomings, he accepted the correction without explanation and peacefully expressed his creative ideas, so that in such a "streamy" variety show, there was such a gentle dialogue.
As a long-time audience member of Kangxi, I understand Cai Kangyong's "viciousness", he is not soft when he satirizes guests on the show, sometimes even excessively, but he also often shows his gentle side, his great point lies in his insight into human nature, and can show different weapons on different occasions, which is his accumulation of many years as a host or TV person.
Is a good actor is also a good director, the first time to understand the work of Cai Kangyong, really eye-catching, there is a surprise, the integration of Peking Opera, although it is a short film, but also there should be some, it is worth a look.
Felt his self-expression. This is not only his helplessness in the face of young lovers, but also some of his thoughts on death in the near future.
In the past few years after the suspension of "Kangxi Lai", he mixed very well in the mainland, and Ma Dong's new programs "Annual Comedy Competition" and "Strange Story" were as fine as those of young people, talents and creativity. However, since he is so concerned about the sentence "An actor has three ways to die, one is to die in life, one is to die in the play, and the other is that he is forgotten by the audience", does it mean that he is also worried that his variety shows and hosting works are not remembered by the audience? His modesty in "Director Please Advise" was praised by many viewers, and film critics also said that he was the first director to develop self-criticism, while the previous directors changed the show to "Director Please Defend", but I feel that his modesty is a little excessive. Maybe I really want to make movies and make good movies. I still like the way he looks with Ma Dong in the lawless "sarcastic" and "attacking" others.
Director Cai Kangyong, Wang Quanyou, Zeng Li, Jiang Chao starred in the short film "Romeo is Still Alive", telling a story about Peking Opera, what do you think after watching it?
