"Director Please Advise" Wu Zhenyu said the true definition of the director, but suffered from the collective shaking of the head to deny wu Zhenyu boldly said the appearance of the director in his mind, but suffered from the collective shaking of the head to deny that there was originally no core value of the director of the position of director, it is an exporter, Wu Zhenyu is even more said to the core, back to the truth What kind of director is an excellent director? Acting and excellent directing, it is easy for actors to be directors, and it is too difficult to become a good director

Recently, a new variety show was launched, called "Director Please Advise", and when you hear the name, it will remind people of "Actor Please Take Place", the latter is to choose actors, and the former is naturally to choose a director.

Simply put, it's a bunch of old, new, or even non-director people getting together and going into a competition where the winner has a chance to make a film.

After this show was broadcast, it caused a lot of controversy, and Li Chengru's rejection of Cai Kangyong became the hottest topic. However, these are not the points to be discussed in this article, but I want to talk about what Wu Zhenyu said about the director's understanding.

Wu Zhenyu believes that the so-called director is actually an exporter.

He believes that the director does not need professional skills, does not know how to light, do not understand the soundtrack can also be, let everyone to help you complete it.

His words immediately caused an uproar outside the venue, and many people shook their heads. It is estimated that the audience in front of the TV set also thinks so, how can the director be so "sloppy" in the mouth of Wu Zhenyu, that is not anyone can be a director?

In a certain way, Wu Zhenyu is right, whether from the professional definition or from the perspective of the phenomenon in the market.

The position of director was a later position, and at first, it was the playwright and the actor who discussed how to express the story in the script. Only later, with the development of the drama, everyone slowly found that there was a need for someone to do the overall coordination, and only then did they have the role of director.

The definition of the work content of the role of the director is this, organizing all the creative personnel, technicians and performers in the crew, so that they can give full play to their talents and integrate the creative labor of the crowd.

From the perspective of this function, it is true that the director does not need to have strong professional skills, he only needs to know the production process of the film, he can complete his work, which is more critical to say that ability and organizational ability.

Because the status of the director's role has been raised higher and higher by everyone, so that they are a bit deified, a person who only says that he is a director seems to have become a character.

Wu Zhenyu's explanation seems to me to be easy to understand, really nothing wrong, but it is too real, hurting the self-esteem of some people who think they are high.

The real work of the director is mentioned above, but it is not really to deny the director, nor does it mean that anyone can be a director.

More importantly, the three words of the output are the most difficult, and the technology is really worthless.

As long as you throw a person into the film crew for a few years, technically everything will be, such as Zeng Zhiwei did not understand anything, or a dragon and tiger martial artist, the result of a few years in the crew, become a director, do production is no problem.

But why didn't Zeng Zhiwei become a big director?

It is precisely because the core value of the director is not in the technology, but in the output.

There is another dimension of the definition of the director, that is, the leader of the film and television work, the artist who expresses his ideas through film.

This requirement is too high, which is too high for a person's comprehensive quality, and it is also the key to many people's inability to become a big director in their lifetime.

This involves a person's understanding of the script, a person's imagination of imaging words, the grasp of rhythm, the aesthetics of everything, the understanding of space, the understanding of time, values, etc., which are very complex.

And when these things are reflected in a concentrated way through a movie, it is actually the concentrated performance of the director as an exporter, so Wu Zhenyu is really not wrong, but it is really too popular, and the result is a joke.

For example, Kubrick made "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 1968, which is a real milestone in the history of science fiction.

This movie is good, not how beautiful and shocking the picture is, nor what scientific and technological means are used 3D or 4D, but the prophetic nature of the film shocked the hearts of all audiences.

Kubrick said it may be 20 years before audiences can understand his films. His "Clockwork Orange" and "Eye-Opening" are among them.

Some of his films are science fiction, some are not, but his theme has not changed, and he likes to express things of the future. This is Kubrick's output as a director in the field of cinema, which is unique.

Now popular actors act well, almost can transform into a director, there are too many such examples, such as Zhang Ziyi recently directed the movie "Poetry" for the first time in "My Father and Me".

As far as the presentation of the film itself is good, the emotion is delicate, but if evaluated from the perspective of a director's output, it is precisely what she personally lacks. Of course, as a National Day gift, "Poetry" still completed her task perfectly.

The advantage of an actor's transformation into a director may be the tuning of actors, such as Zhang Ziyi spent a lot of energy on the set to adjust actors. But the actor's schedule is very full, naturally there is little time to sink down to precipitate and think, which also allows the actor to become a director, the things made are relatively shallow, can tell the story well, it is good, it is difficult to become an excellent exporter, it is naturally difficult to become an excellent director.

Therefore, Wu Zhenyu said his understanding of the director, personally I think there is really nothing wrong with it, and it just points out the core of the problem, the most important value of the director is output! What do you think about that? Feel free to chat in the comments section.
