His debut was at the peak, and "Let the Bullets Fly" made him "a god in the first battle".
The audience called him a "ghost director" who has not been seen in a century.
Later, he fell off the altar because of the "Japanese" name for his son.
Jiang Wen, who has not had a new film for 6 years, why is it like "evaporating" in the circle?
Could it be that the former genius has really "exhausted his talents"?
"God's work" was questioned
Is there such a person in life who looks ordinary at first glance, or even a little unpleasant.
After watching it for a long time, it feels better and more beautiful and tasteful?
Of course, this is not about Jiang Wen's appearance, but the audience's opinion of his works.
Especially his "Let the Bullets Fly", when it first came out, it was a mediocre response.
Even many viewers feel a bit "unreliable." ”
was almost labeled as nonsensical, and no one expected that many people would take the initiative to stand up soon after.
To justify the name of this work, many of the shots in the work are endowed with deep meanings.
The word-of-mouth of "Let the Bullets Fly" also ushered in a 180-degree reversal, and the evaluation rose directly, which means that it is uncontrollable.
Not to mention that many netizens didn't understand this reversal, and even Jiang Wen himself probably didn't expect it.
For a time, the reputation of the "ghost director" became famous.
After that, Jiang Wen also continued to have some new works, but strangely, his works were always mixed.
Some people think it's good, and some people don't understand it, but from the perspective of word of mouth, it seems to be showing a gradual downward trend.
After "Evil Does Not Prevail Over Justice", netizens began to re-examine the director, why can't he make a good film anymore?
Or is his talent overrated?
Some people bluntly said that not to mention other works, even the masterpiece "Let the Bullets Fly" was actually over-excavated!
Maybe a lot of the so-called depth even Jiang Wen himself didn't expect.
Maybe the real "ghost" is not Jiang Wen, but the audience themselves!
The characters in it are "unreliable", the lines are "unreliable", and even the plot is a bit of a joke.
But we, the audience, are able to discover the meaning, even if the author just wants to be humorous, I can make it "philosophical" for you.
It's like Chen Kaige's current status at the beginning, which is absolutely inseparable from the super masterpiece "Farewell My Concubine".
This work directly sent the director to the altar and made him one of the first-line directors in China.
From then on, it seems that as long as the work is published, it will be a big seller regardless of whether it is good or bad.
Not only can the later works never reach such heights again, but the gap is really a bit big.
So much so that netizens questioned whether this masterpiece was from him.
But I really don't blame the audience for thinking so, after all, after so many years, both experience and professionalism should be improving.
Why is it difficult to produce another decent masterpiece, is this the so-called "Jiang Lang's talent"?
Jiang Wen's reputation declined
Leaving aside the works, Jiang Wen's decline in reputation may not be entirely due to the problems of his works.
The "ghost director" not only found a new way when making movies, but even named the child full of drama.
showed his "uniqueness" to the fullest, and at first he felt very strange when he named his daughter "Jiang Yilang".
But the audience didn't think of anything else, but simply felt that the name didn't look like a name.
However, in view of Jiang Wenwen's brain circuit, it is not too out of line.
But it was only after the birth of his two sons that netizens discovered that something was wrong.
"Jiang Dalang" and "Jiang Jilang", this name directly made netizens unable to sit still.
Netizens said that there should be a limit to alternatives, what kind of trouble do you have to use such a "Japanese" name?
For a while, the voices of criticism came and went, and Jiang Wen's reputation in the industry not only plummeted.
Even the essence has been questioned by netizens.
Seeing that everyone was so "excited", Jiang Wen also had to respond to this matter.
However, he did not admit that such a name was problematic, but started to popularize science with netizens.
also brought out Cao Mengde, the great hero of the Three Kingdoms period, as an example, saying that he became Cao Pi as "Taro".
The appellation itself comes from the mainland.
Some viewers were immediately convinced, and it was still good to be cultured, but many people said that even if they were from China.
However, in the current environment, few people use it anymore, but it makes people have a strong "Japanese" atmosphere when they hear it.
At least it does sound uncomfortable.
Even now, many people still can't understand this kind of maverick with a name.
Maybe this is the inner thinking jump of the "ghost talent", and ordinary people will not do it anyway.
Of course, it was not this one thing that caused his reputation to decline.
At the beginning, Jiang Wen showed great appreciation for Peng Yuyan more than once, especially for the tendon meat.
It is true that Peng Yuyan has a good figure, not only girls like it, but even boys can't help but envy it.
At that time, Peng Yuyan could be described as red and purple, and the schedule was even full, in order to participate in the premiere of another movie.
also took a leave of absence from the "ghost director", for which Peng Yuyan also prepared carefully.
But someone broke the news that Peng Yuyan ended Director Jiang's play that day and was ready to rush to the premiere as agreed.
Unexpectedly, Director Jiang praised his state and asked for a few more scenes!
Peng Yuyan didn't know if he was reluctant or not, anyway, the audience was very reluctant, and he felt that Director Jiang was "having a bad taste".
Of course, there are also people who think that this is just his means, and they just don't want him to attend other premieres.
Director Jiang's willfulness was also shown in other things, at the event site that year, the seat of the predecessor Li Bingbing was originally in the first row.
With her qualifications, she deserves it, but after the event begins, it is found that her seat has been forcibly replaced.
Instead, it was the popular student Peng Yuyan.
This incident made it difficult for Li Bingbing to calm down, and it also made the audience cry out for her.
Peng Yuyan has also had a reputation for disrespecting his predecessors since then, but later some netizens spoke up for him.
said that all this was arranged by Jiang Wen, and Peng was also passively buttoned up.
But since Jiang Wen arranged this "play", why didn't he come out to explain after the incident.
Leaving Peng Yuyan, who was lonely, to bear all this by himself, is it serious.
After "Evil Does Not Prevail Over Justice", Jiang Wen has not released a new work for six years.
Although netizens have different reviews of him, sometimes I really miss his casual shooting style.
Seriously making jokes is also a unique style of humor.
Jiang Wen, who is over the age of six, is finally going to have a new move, and the trailer of the new work "Heroes Out of Youth" has been released.
Can he stick to his usual style and create another masterpiece comparable to "Let the Bullets Fly".
Let's stay tuned!
