Today (9), according to the TV Drama Directors Committee of the China Broadcasting Federation, the famous director Chen Jialin died in Beijing on July 7, 2022 at the age of 79 due to ineffective medical treatment.
As a well-known director of historical dramas in China, Chen Jialin has created film and television dramas such as "Tang Ming Emperor", "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", "Tan Sitong", "Nurhaci", "Kangxi Dynasty", "Wu Zetian" and other film and television dramas, and won many film and television awards such as Feitian, Golden Rooster and Magnolia.
Works directed by Chen Jialin
Chen Jialin once said that in recent years, many historical drama works themselves are not too hard and shoddy, and there are problems such as following the trend, plagiarizing each other, value orientation, looking at money, reversing black and white, and making up nonsense, "These have led to historical dramas becoming thunderous dramas, not serious and not hippy enough, and the audience naturally cannot watch it." ”
As the earliest director in China to create historical dramas, Chen Jialin will strictly polish the script before shooting, emphasizing the ideological, artistic and thick of the work, "Now it is all nonsense." The whole value orientation is black and white upside down, nonsense, pulling down the level of historical dramas, but also making historical dramas stink. ”
Chen Jialin
Chen Jialin once complained that he has been filming dramas for decades, he is too familiar with this industry, his feelings are also very deep, and now his investment is getting bigger and bigger, and the production of TV dramas is becoming more and more exquisite, but there are more and more problems. For example, the current director has become a poor worker, basically four or five hands. Chen Jialin said that the number one hand now is the buyer. He will tell you that this person can't use it, you have to use her; The second is the investor. What kind of actors they use is their final say, but also installed a lot of relationships, the director has no right to speak, and these people are laymen, the film has not yet begun to shoot has been mixed up in a mess.
In addition to the interference of investors and producers, Chen Jialin said that the director is also weak in the face of many so-called big-name stars. "A star with seven or eight assistants, the crew has to be arranged, even the assistants have to be first class, the pomp is too big." Chen Jialin said that some celebrities can't say no. "There was a winter scene where the staff was ready outside and shivering with cold, but when the actors were urged to shoot, they said they couldn't shoot it, and the assistant said she was drinking coffee. You can't ask her directly, you have to ask her assistant. ”
