After the broadcast of "Director Please Advise", the contestants, who are one of the guests of the film critics, also appeared in many self-media articles or short videos.
What many people don't know is that the racers have been engaged in film media work for more than 20 years, especially in the past ten years, they have worked for movie channels, dealt with too many filmmakers, and are extremely familiar with both public and private, arguing, joking, and mutual hatred, but this is a way of communication that the two sides have long been accustomed to.
In fact, the high-density firing of the contestants on the program is really nothing in the past two years, and the "Zero Point Fengyun" that he planned at that time was really enough to watch.

About the author: I started to soak in the theater at the age of 5. In China's 5,000-year history, there are no more than 10 people who have watched more films than he has. Moreover, every movie he has seen, he remembers clearly, just like yesterday.

I really can't remember the specific date, but the year is 2009.
On a very normal afternoon, I received a call from An outreach from Hunan TV saying that they wanted to do a film review program. When I first went, I was planning.
The first planning meeting, from about 5 p.m., traveled from many places to nearly three o'clock the next morning. They are really energetic, without good brain power and physical strength, they really can't do this line of television.
It's just that the longer we talk, the more confused everyone becomes. But the general policy remains unchanged. One is to target the new domestic films released in theaters, the second is to invite the main creator of the film, and the third is to talk about the shortcomings of this film in front of them.
What you want is not you and me, a bunch of harmony. What you want is to make people on the stage fidget, and let the audience on the TV know that a movie is not easy, not the pain, not the weather, not the sudden outbreak of accidents, but the situation of the creators themselves.

But the specific operation links and the flow of the program, everyone did not discuss a sub-ugly Yin. And I am very excited about this column's behavior: criticism is better than encouragement. We just have too much encouragement, not more black sheep, but more bad horses.
At that marathon planning meeting, I was the only one in the outer brain at that time. Later, there were more people. The more fixed ones are Zhang Xiaobei, Guan Yadi, Yan Peng and Bi Chenggong. Before the official recording of the program, the program team will also invite guests to take makeup photos. My impression is really a bit vague, I only remember Yin Hong and Wu Guanping. Other guests who really took the stage were Zheng Dongtian, Hao Jian, Li Xingwen, Wang Xudong, Jiang Fangzhou, Ma Sheng, jian Ning, etc.
The program team is very fond of Zheng Dongtian, who is not only an excellent director, but also a film theorist and film educator. The key is that he speaks in a loud, concise and concise manner, to the point. My first advice to the program team was that the guests who came up not only had goods in their stomachs, but also had to live in their mouths. I listed a very inappropriate high standard, like Yi Zhongtian is the best. But things that are simple because of ugliness can never be avoided, and there are conditions to go up, and there are no conditions to go up.

Just like this, feeling the stones to cross the river, the column finally began to broadcast - called "Zero Point Fengyun Alliance Film Review".
The program is called "Zero Point Fengyun Alliance Film Review"
I haven't watched TV since I did. I haven't watched the show very carefully, and I've forgotten how it was viewed at the time.
I just remember their workstation at the Space Bridge, where the aunt in charge of the food was good at her craft. I myself love Hunan cuisine, and my aunt makes it more homely, which can also be said to be more intimate. And the small partners of the column group also often have dinner, of course, it is mainly a working meal.
After the end of the working meal, the topic of conversation has basically nothing to do with the movie, saying other people's gossip, but also talking about their own is not, there are inside and outside the circle. There are more girls there, twittering, and it is also very lively. Some of them will also take the initiative to say meat paragraphs, and the girls who have not been bothered to see me listen to me, but also have to endure the shame, and finally laugh uncontrollably.
Their editor-in-chief, I think, is more appropriate to call the director in chief. Not from xiangshui, but a Henan native. The amount of alcohol is good, and he likes to drink beer while drinking liquor. I don't dare drink like he did. I remember once, our group went to see Director Tian Meng's new work "Stubborn Turnip". The process of watching it is extremely painstaking, and the quality of the film really can't stand us so much tossing.

After reading it, we went to Guijie Street, the most famous night market in Beijing, where we drank heavily. Tian Meng also came over, and he meant to talk to us more. When he sat down, everyone didn't talk about his movies, didn't talk about any movies, and forgot everything they talked about.
I only remember a girl shouting in a bright voice: Boss, six more bottles. As soon as the words landed, the man fell asleep on the table. Someone suggested that she should return home first, and she opened her eyes that were like a deep pool, and smiled softly: "Don't bother me, I squint for a while, and then I will drink." She did what she said, and in the midst of our laughter, she also laughed, and then she filled up and saluted in turn, so that it was not a female wind.

To do planning, you have to watch the film in advance, good and bad, and watch a lot. Avatar is seen in the best 3D cinema in Beijing, the China Film Museum. When the thief is cold, when they go, the little friends are not in a hurry to go to the theater hall for warmth, but in the cold wind, looking forward to a lively to dispel the cold. It turned out to be a crowd of spectators who had lined up to buy tickets in the cold wind early, and after waiting for several hours, they were told that the tickets were sold out. These fans, fed by the northwest wind, became angry and blamed the theater for not informing in advance.
However, there was still no major conflict. I just feel lucky that one person went first. The dissatisfaction of others makes me feel satisfied, and it is precisely this intention that makes people feel a little uneasy.
Another time was to watch "Mulan", and the later stage of the film was not yet done - it was done well, but it was just that. I also went to see Teacher Dai Jinhua, which was the first time I saw her up close, tall and addicted to smoking. After watching the film, it is natural to have a dinner, and during the banquet, everyone only hastily chatted about the film. Dai Jinhua asked me if film critics had nothing to say when they encountered this kind of movie. I said yes.

She also talked about her recent research project, which is about vampire movies. At that time, when "Twilight" swept the world, I didn't watch much of this kind of movie, so I didn't interject.
Not long after, the creator of "Mulan" arrived at the recording site, and I was not there. It is said that Chen Kun was very angry at that time, and the source of his anger was probably that a film had not yet been released, and it was unfair to be questioned so much in the public media. He should have done enough homework before going on the show, which is a column that is mainly questioned. On the other hand, when the program was broadcast, the film was no longer in the hot screening period.

Regarding my own on-stage, I have rejected the column group many times. Mainly because my accent is very heavy, I am afraid of affecting the ears of others, but the program team thinks it is okay. If you dare to die, I dare to bury the momentum, and people are like this, and I will go out.
In addition to "Director Please Advise", the poisonous tongue racer will also appear in another director's variety show in 2021, "Let's Shoot a Movie"
A little farther afield, this is not my first time on TV, the earliest is a children's program on CCTV, but let me teach children how to write essays. Now that I think about it, it's ridiculous. I can only speculate that the TV director had a very good impression of me, and think about it, this is really a big mistake.
The guests who come to this show are bound to be mentally prepared to be blamed. In any case, they have their own cultivation. I remember that after recording "Silver Empire", director Yao Shuhua took the initiative to ask for my phone, and then I praised the film's photographic art recordings were good. Yao Shuhua said very sincerely that it was the credit of the team, not hers.
Sometimes when recording the scene, there will be a scene of love and killing. The producer of "Breathless" Shu Erwei unceremoniously criticized the director's solemn self-awareness as too heavy to ignore others. In fact, the biggest problem with this film is that in addition to the form and concept, there are too few things left, which is a failure to live up to a good actor like Ge You. At that time, I said a sentence that I often said: In Beijing, I rarely see people engaged in art, and more importantly, they are engaged in art. Zheng Zheng also answered the call, what kind of person he was. I didn't bother to hesitate and said directly, you belong to the latter kind.
After solemnly listening, he had a helpless smile on his face.
The director of "Breathless" solemnly participated in the recording of the 20090921 issue of "Zero Point Fengyun" "Face the < Breathless > Five Failures"
Fast forward more than ten years, and I have never heard from Yao Shuhua and Zheng Zheng making a movie again, nor do I know what they are busy with. Their people actually made a good impression on me. Think again, how many people's first movie has become their last since the new century?
I'm not talking about Yao and Zheng, I'm referring to the majority of those who have disappeared from the film industry, what are they thinking when they are engaged in this business? Do you want to add to the film, or do you want the film to bring something visible or invisible to themselves? God knows.

At the recording scene, I said the most ruthless words, and gave Liu Yunlong's first film "East Wind and Rain", which he did not make later.
My argument is: this film is not very good except for the screenplay is not good, the director is not very good, the performance is not good, and other aspects are not bad. I remember that after I said this, the host He Jiong's eyes suddenly widened a few points. As a TV series director, Liu Yunlong is still very memorable. Among my favorite spy dramas, there must be his "Dark Calculation" and "Kite", both of which are very brave TV series.
The most memorable recording was "Wolf Plague". Because director Tian Zhuangzhuang rarely goes on TV, and the general director is also a fan of Tian Zhuangzhuang, he attaches great importance to this recording. Not only to talk about "The Wolf Plague", but also to spread to Tian Zhuangzhuang's artistic life.
Tian Zhuangzhuang participated in the recording of "Zero Point Fengyun" 20091015 issue of "< Wolf Disaster> Whether it is a Commercial Transformation Work"
I pushed it a few times, and I didn't want to shake my confusion or even dissatisfaction with Wolf Plague to one of my favorite directors. At the scene, Tian Zhuangzhuang was a little tired, but he was still very pleasant to talk about, and he had a wind bone that was not ostentatious. I don't know what I was talking nonsense at the time, but I only remember that after recording, Tian Zhuangzhuang's assistant called me to his rest room and talked a few more times. Instead of blaming me for his arrogance, he expressed his sincere gratitude to me for being so familiar with his films. This makes me even more embarrassed.
Many years later, du Qingchun and Kaiyin, two of my most trusted friends in film, made me re-realize the rare and vast beauty of "Wolf Plague" in Chinese films—although to this day, I still can't fully accept their claims, but the initial impression of watching the film is indeed much looser.
In fact, he has also praised some movies, such as "Autumn Joy". Director Sun Zhou I have known for a long time, after meeting, he saw that I like this movie so much, he was also very happy. We were chatting off the field, and not long after, his handsome brother Sun Chun came and asked me how I was acting, and I said it was good. Sun Chun is a little more childish than his brother, he is so heavy on the screen, but he is very lively under the screen, jumping and jumping. He listened to me, still not confident. But in fact, Sun Chun won the Golden Rooster Award for his performance in "Autumn Joy". To add, I did not appear on this episode of Autumn Joy.
How to say it, the overall direction of this show still makes many production teams prohibitive. The program team came to an absentee inquiry, and the first time it was done, it seemed to be "The Sound of the Wind", which had a good reputation at that time. But if you really look closely, there are many problems. I did not participate in this recording, and the guest I invited was Hong Huang.
Hong Huang participated in the recording of the 20091022 issue of "Zero Point Fengyun" "< Wind Sound> is it not a killing game? 》
Participated in "Sword Rain", a martial arts film that seems extremely modern today, involving plastic surgery, blind dates and express delivery. It was also a recording in which the creator was absent, and I forgot what I said at the time.
I was running around on this show, drinking and singing for about a year. The show lasted for a few more years, and the format seemed to change, but in the end it didn't stick to it.
There are many reasons why I didn't stick with it, and I prefer to believe that there aren't as many people who really like movies as they think.
