The movie "Shocking Rescue" released on May 1st encountered bad reviews from Peking University students, and after three days of fermentation on the Internet, "Shocking Rescue" finally refuted the rumors on the evening of April 25:
Restore the truth and cherish communication.
Regarding the post-screening exchange activities of the movie "Shocking Rescue" at Peking University on April 22, false rumors appeared on the Internet, and some people published pictures and texts claiming that the director answered the questions raised by a classmate perfunctorily on the spot, with an arrogant attitude.
We reviewed the live video of the day's event, and also present the video in its entirety to all netizens for everyone to restore the truth. At the scene of the exchange after the screening, a student from the School of Chemistry raised questions around the plot of the film, and during the entire process of the student's speech, no creator interrupted his speech, let alone the response content transmitted on the Internet, and after the student's question, a student from the School of Medicine (School of Public Health) answered and discussed his questions. After listening to the speeches of the two students, Du Jiang and Wang Qianyuan, the leading actors of the film who attended the post-screening event that day, expressed their great gratitude to the students for their sharing, and also expressed their hope to hear different voices about the work so that we can do better.
The film and every creator cherish the opportunity to communicate with the audience. We are willing to listen and think about every real voice, and we also hope that open discussion and sharing can be based on facts.
At the same time, the film party of "Shocking Rescue" also released the direct shooting content of the video of the day, proving that he was not lying, and the communication with the students was cordial, not perfunctory and arrogant. In front of the video shooting, arrogance said, it seems that it can come to an end. Of course, whether Peking University has talked to relevant students on this matter is a matter for Peking University, and "Shocking Rescue" cannot help explain it publicly.
Regarding this matter, I have the following personal opinions, and I hope that such knowledgeable readers as Peking University students will criticize and correct.
The first point is that the film side of "Shocking Rescue" invited Du Jiang and Wang Qianyuan to participate in the exchange meeting after the screening of Peking University, which is fundamentally wrong.
In recent years, with the vigorous development of Chinese films, it is true that many films like to enter universities and communicate with students. However, one thing needs to be clear, to enter Peking University, is it to go to gilding, or to communicate seriously? I personally prefer the latter. But I don't know if there is a movie, just go to the gilding. In the past, I have seen some film marketing say that when they enter Peking University screening, their reputation is bursting.
In fact, whether you enter Peking University or Tsinghua University, you should maintain a serious attitude of communication. And actors like Du Jiang and Wang Qianyuan, what do they go to Peking University to exchange? If Peking University has an acting department, these two actors are certainly suitable for communication. However, Peking University did not. Du Jiang and Wang Qianyuan should go to Nortel and Chinese opera to communicate with the students how to complete a good role. It's their business as actors.
After the screening of "Shocking Rescue" at Peking University, students questioned several points in it. Du Jiang and Wang Qianyuan both had a very good attitude and carried out "exchanges". However, is this something the two actors should go to communicate? The three deliberative questions raised by the students need to be answered by the screenwriter and director of this film. Especially what needs to be answered by the screenwriter. However, even if we enter an institution of higher learning such as Peking University, we have not seen the "Shocking Rescue" film party bring the screenwriter and let the screenwriter sit on the communication platform.
The "incident" of "Shocking Rescue" this time, the revelation left for all the crew in the future is to exchange acting skills, go to Nortel and Chinese drama, bring the actors is no problem, exchange movie content, it is best to bring the screenwriter. Screenwriters are the core soul of a movie. Going to an institution like Peking University is not to engage in celebrities to respond, and bring the value of actors, but not the value of screenwriters. Who should answer the question, who answers.
The second point is that Peking University is a small step and a big step for Chinese films.
In the past, many movies entered colleges and universities, and they asked themselves, who went to communicate? They are just gilding themselves with other institutions of higher learning, and it is indispensable to issue a press release saying that the students of higher education institutions have said that they are okay when they see it. This time, "Shocking Rescue" was not said. Regardless of whether this kid from Peking University is right or not, his communication attitude is very pertinent, and he is more temperate than many film critics who shamelessly applaud red envelopes.
Since it is an exchange, as a student of Peking University, I took out the attitude of communication and discussed several points in the film. Screenwriters and directors, at this time, should communicate with students seriously, students say the right place, listen, what may not be right, explain more.
After this happened, it had a positive impact on many parties. The filmmakers, in the future, must correct their attitude, when going to Peking University and other institutions of higher learning to do exchanges, bring screenwriters and directors, instead of letting the actors face problems in content communication. Students, in the future, will also know that when communicating with the film side, it is not necessary to only applaud, put forward their own opinions, correct or incorrect, it is harmless. If the filmmakers of Chinese films understand the principle of communication rather than gilding, the quality of our future film meetings will gradually increase.
The third point is that the film and television dramas that are sensational and foolish will definitely be in danger in the future.
This sincere exchange of "Shocking Rescue" at Peking University will form a very good industry promotion role. Especially for the creators of film and television dramas. After this incident, everyone will pay more attention to the authenticity and rationality of their own scripts, and pay attention to the state of the audience's extremely high aesthetic level. Just talking about the theme of rescue, if we pay more attention to authenticity, rationality, and even require almost zero errors, we will definitely produce very high-quality works.
At the same time, for the audience and fans, this time, I believe that many people are also educated. Plus two counter-examples from personal experience. The film team of "Shout Mountain" invited me to watch their films, and after the screening, the director came to communicate, and the staff said that the director was very sincere and hoped that everyone would communicate sincerely. I took it seriously, stood up, and planned to communicate 13 points worth communicating in this film, or obvious mistakes and omissions. As a result, as soon as I talked about the third, their staff couldn't bear it, pinched the microphone, and asked Teacher Ma to go out. At that time, there was an "audience" in the audience shouting, "Please come, it is for you to applaud, not to make you find mistakes."
Another time, it is inconvenient to say what kind of movie won the award. It is also a post-screening exchange. The actor later won an award for the film. What can be communicated? It turned out to be a "support performance", the actress's female fan went up and gave the actor face cream, saying that the actor filmed this play, they were all tanned, it was very difficult, and everyone was very distressed. Thunder rolling, who is this drama for? What kind of exchange is this, it's a live show in response to the performance.
The incident of Peking University in "Shocking Rescue" must have a positive enlightening effect on many similar fans. The exchange meeting after the screening is not a support meeting, not a horse fart meeting, nor a chasing meeting to meet the stars, but to respect your own brain, respect your own aesthetics, respect the screenwriter and director, and respect the ideological exchange and collision. Everyone has this awareness, and they don't worry that Chinese films will not continue to go to a new level of quality. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
