Recently, the variety show "Let's Shoot" was broadcast on iQiyi, and it is the same as "Director Please Advise" as a variety show that excavates new directors.
"Director Please Advise" Douban scored 4.1 points, which is essentially a quarrel show under the guise of filming, and the scene of tearing X in it is much more interesting than the short films made by those directors.
I thought that the same type of "Start Shooting" will also hit the street, did not expect to broadcast a month since the word of mouth is surprisingly good, the program is still director-oriented, did not engage in some gimmicks, although the loss of heat, but to ensure the quality, Douban score of 7.1 points, not too high, but above the standard, after all, this kind of director's variety show is really not good to shoot.
"Let's Shoot" is an upgraded version of "Director Please Advise", inviting Chen Kaige, Liu Zhenyun, Shu Qi and Chen Sicheng as mentors, the contestants include cutting-edge directors such as Desert and Hu Guohan, actors such as Wang Luodan to directors, literary and art film directors such as Hao Jie, comedy directors such as Yi Xiaoxing, and advertising directors such as Peng Youlun to film directors. The program team also invited Xu Anhua to participate in the competition, which is the same as the next door program asked Guan Jinpeng.
After watching 4 episodes of the show, my favorite contestant is Hao Jie.
Hao Jie is the oldest in it, and has currently filmed three works, the first two are the rural themes of "Singles" and "Beautiful Sister", fierce and powerful, called "Macho version of Jia Zhangke", I still remember two shots in his films, one is the picture of two rural old men in "Singles", and the other is the overhead shot of the dry toilet pit in "Beautiful Sister", which is shocking.
Hao Jie was once considered a star of hope, and he himself felt that he would replace Chen Kaige and soon won the Palme d'Or.
But in the third work, Hao Jie found Bao Bell and filmed "My Adolescence", which was Hao Jie's first attempt at commercial themes, and the film also had an autobiographical nature, and the result was mediocre.
Hao Jie filmed three works, one is worse than the other, he is also depressed, directly filmed for 6 years, until this year to pluck up the courage to participate in this show, the program is a social fear patient, not good at words, when the mentor commented that he closed his eyes the whole time, the subject matter of the shooting is still unpleasant rural short films, but this just formed a huge contrast, many viewers are against Hao Jiechong's iQiyi members.
My favorite mentor is Chen Kaige, who I used to be prejudiced against and always felt that he liked to wear X.
Chen Kaige was a director of literary and art films in his early years, shooting weighty works such as "Yellow Land" and "Child King", of course, his most respected film is "Farewell to the King", and it is rumored that this film was actually made by his father.
Although this is a rumor, but it also seems to have become a curse, after the death of Chen Father, Chen Kaige's fame is getting bigger and bigger, surrounded by stinky feet, there is one less person who can suppress him, his biggest hard injury is the script, as long as he participates in the script creation, a movie will often be messed up, such as "Wuji", "Mei Lanfang", "Taoist Down the Mountain", as long as he does not blindly mix with the script, it will become a divine work, such as "Overlord Farewell".
But Kaige is a big appetite for people, the level of screenwriters is not good, and he likes to tinker with the script, and the screenwriter reed of "Overlord Farewell" parted ways because of this problem and fell out with him.
Chen Kaige is very stubborn and conceited.
At that time, "Wuji" had a very poor reputation, and was spoofed by Hu Ge as "A Blood Case Caused by a Steamed Bun", Chen Kaige sued Hu Ge in court, and also said strongly that time will prove everything, and now 17 years have passed, time has proved that "Wuji" is indeed a bad film;
Chen Kaige, who competed with Ang Lee and Zhang Yimou for the position of director of the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, is said to have read a poem directly when he went to the interview, and then passed away.
Chen Kaige's friend Juan recalled that in the 80s, when a group of their friends watched "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in the United States, Chen Kaige criticized the film with a arrogant posture and promised to shoot a real art film.
Chen Kaige's ex-wife Hong Huang recalled that in the night when the two were alone, Chen Kaige pretended to be Qinggao, chatted with him about literature and art, and talked about his true appearance until dawn.
Gao Xiaosong also said in the program that Chen Kaige graduated from Beijing No. 4 Middle School, was very proud, and wanted to rely on peking university Chinese department.
In short, Chen Kaige is not quite in line with the image of a humble gentleman, which also makes me have a bad impression of him in the past.
But he is very humble in this show, mingling with Liu Zhenyun, Shu Qi and others, talking in crepe, but there is a contrast.
What moved me the most was his suggestion of Hao Jie.
Hao Jie was frustrated by filmmaking and once became a hermit, Chen Kaige watched his film, pointed out the wonderful passages in his films, and pointed out his problems to the point.
In the past, Hao Jie was more dull, but the movie was hot-blooded; now Hao Jie is still dull, but the movie has also lost its passion, and he needs to get out of the predicament in his heart and enrich his confidence.
This encouragement deeply touched Hao Jie and made me look at director Triumph.
An artist is not a little conceited is not OK, Chen Kaige contributed a lot of golden sentences in the program, he really has a level, the picture of the splendid Great Wall in "Chosin Lake" comes from his creativity, and the emotion of the film is sublimated at once.
Finally, I hope everyone will go to see this show, "Let's Shoot", it's really good!
