The domestic variety reality show has finally seen a little bit of reality!
This time it was the young director who created the reality show "Let's Shoot", 6 young directors competed together in PK, and after the four "investors" in the program, Chen Kaige, Liu Zhenyun, Chen Sicheng, and Shu Qi chose to invest, they started to shoot short films, participated in further competitions and were selected.
In the show, the most lost and controversial director is Hao Jie, a director over forty years old.
In the first two short films, he was very frustrated in the audience screening session, because he could not get the audience's approval, and he was said that the work could not be understood, coupled with his social fear, he hardly communicated with people, making his people as difficult to approach as the work.
In the second screening of the short film "Once Upon a Time in the Countryside", the first two screenings were 0 audiences and 0 box office, and he himself left early and did not participate in the further recording of the program.
最终，《乡村往事》让节目中的69岁“投资人”、导演陈凯歌赔了610万。
In the latest episode of the show, in the third short film shooting session, Hao Jie instigated and even put forward a request for retirement!
The reason is that "in the first two rounds, I was the absolute first at the box office", and the third round did not choose the "propositional essay" I wanted to shoot, thinking that I could not shoot the content currently assigned to him.
In this regard, Chen Kaige, the "investor" of his last round of short films, was unceremonious, directly calling him "cowardly and fragile", but at the same time, Chen Kaige expressed his desire to help him and proposed "You have to shoot!" I object to your withdrawal! ”
On the one hand, it is not easy for a director like Hao Jie who insists on making art films, and more because director Chen Kaige, as an "old predecessor", really played a "Bole" role in the program beyond the variety effect of the program!
This heartfelt remark can be seen that director Chen Kaige sincerely hopes to help Hao Jie, a young director who has a pursuit outside of commercial films, but also for the Chinese film industry to bloom, which is very moving!
Chen Kaige used his love for movies and his appreciation and encouragement of talents to push director Hao Jie, who wanted to retreat, to move forward! Everyone praised Chen Kaige one after another, and even some viewers cried.
Speaking of Hao Jie, at the beginning of the "Let's Shoot" program, many people, including several other young directors participating in the competition, expressed their love for him.
(Hao Jie in his youth)
The reason is that as early as 2010, Hao Jie, who was less than 30 years old at the time, won the Best Director Award at the 6th FIRST Youth Film Festival for his first film "Singles", which scored as high as 8.1 points on Douban.
Three years later, Hao Jie won many awards such as Best Feature Film, Best Director, and Best Screenwriter at the 7th FIRST Youth Film Festival for his film "Beautiful Sister".
At that time, many people were optimistic about the rising young director of the film industry, however, he later made a romantic comedy film "My Adolescence", the evaluation was average, and then "disappeared".
Therefore, this time Hao Ming is now in the variety show, and he wants to make a movie, and many people are looking forward to it, thinking that his appearance is a return of a "master".
However, the 41-year-old Hao Jie's short films shot in the first two rounds of the show are very obscure and seem to be incompatible with variety shows.
Not only are the short films out of place, Hao Jie's "social fear" appearance, with very few words, almost no communication with others, but also makes it difficult for others to get close to him.
Hao Jie's first work in "Let's Shoot" is "Feng Hai's Dream", which is the story of a female college student who "borrows" tuition from Feng Hai, and Hao Jie uses black and white images and expressions full of personal context to present such a tragedy.
At that time, film critics scored high scores, and Hao Jie won a high score in the whole field. However, when it came to the audience screening of the short film, the audience feedback was not understood, and the "box office" and audience ratings obtained became the bottom.
The second short film is "Once Upon a Time in the Countryside", in which Hao Jie continues his black-and-white images and rural stories, and this short film also invites Gao Shuguang to star, but there is only one shot in the show. This short film has left many film critics scratching their heads and scoring low scores.
Later, Hao Jie wrote on the social media platform that "for various reasons", the full version could not meet with everyone, so that people could understand why the short film in the program was even more incomprehensible.
However, "can't understand" and the obscure theme is still an insurmountable barrier, in the second round of short film screening scene, Hao Jie ushered in a more tragic situation: the first two of his screening hall 0 audience 0 box office, so he chose to leave early, until the next few screenings, there were about a dozen viewers to watch "Rural Past".
Hao Jie's final audience score was also very low, and the box office was also at the bottom.
Hao Jie's self-summary is: moviegoers buy tickets, people want to get the appeal, including emotional psychology and all, my work is completely absent. What I care about and what I want to express, in this market, everyone is not interested at all, they don't care about that problem at all, so they are completely indifferent, and I think it is impossible to do it any longer...
Is it really director Hao Jie who can't do it?
Is it true that director Hao Jie and the audience cannot communicate through his work?
Is there really no market for literary films?
After Hao Jie said his request to withdraw from the competition, Chen Kaige asked Chen Sicheng to say a few words first, chen Sicheng expressed support for Hao Jie's choice, he believed that in the situation that Hao Jie faced in the program, the constraints of the subject matter, and his own unwillingness to face such a creation, "Art does not need to be forced, I support his abandonment."
However, the idea that Hao Jie wants to retire from the competition, director Chen Kaige has a different view, and what he said to Hao Jie is reasonable and warms people's hearts.
First of all, Chen Kaige affirmed Hao Jie's talent and choice.
"Why do I know your movie is going to lose money and I'm going to vote for you, you know?"
"It is because in this era, there are people like Hao Jie who are willing to make such movies and use such methods to make them!"
Secondly, Chen Kaige unceremoniously pointed out that Hao Jie was "disobedient"!
"All the movies you make, you're disobedient."
"It is completely contrary to the times and the audience's taste."
Chen Kaige gave an example, he said that he also wanted to be a disobedient child, but did not dare, "I was in my first film "Yellow Land" (made a disobedient child). At the end of the film, all the farmers and adults who asked for rain ran in one direction, and only one child came backwards, which is my respect for this child. ”
In the end, Chen Kaige firmly opposed his retirement, because he saw Hao Jie's cowardice and vulnerability.
"You're a species going extinct, you know? Your deeds remind me of a sentence, it is tens of millions of people who are going to die, that means that you are ten thousand people in heaven, you run over there, I take my own path, there is pride in this, I thought you were such a person. ”
"I can help you, you have to learn to be cowardly to yourself, say no!"
"I object to your withdrawal!"
In fact, in the third round of short film shooting, director Hao Jie not only had the encouragement of Chen Kaige, but also selected the actress Sun Yihan, who directly expressed his trust in Hao Jie and said "believe him".
I hope that director Hao Jie can stop being cowardly and fragile, get up wherever he falls, don't live up to "Bole" Chen Kaige, and don't live up to the actors who trust him, and make a good third short film.
"Learn to be cowardly to yourself and say no!"
Scolding a person is far more useful than just giving him money, this time Chen Kaige is indeed very warm-hearted, the depth of love is the responsibility, and it is even more precious not to give up and not to abandon.
Seeing this, China's variety reality show is finally a little interesting.
The first time to recommend the interpretation of good movies, good dramas, good actors, life is like a movie, welcome to click to pay attention to the "number one cinema"
