All the time, Wang Jing in the impression of everyone is a big layman, only loves fame and wealth, and has no artistic pursuit for movies. Even in recent years, many people have been saying that when you go to a movie theater to watch a movie and see that the director on the poster is Wang Jing, you know that this movie must be a bad movie for money. Many people once said that Wang Jing was a movie dealer who treated the audience as a mentally retarded person, who could not make movies, and was covered with copper. As a result, the people who eat melons have always had a bad impression of him, let alone a high-quality reputation. However, people's impression of him has suddenly changed a lot recently, and many people have said that you are Wang Jing like this. This is how it happened? It turned out that Wang Jing, who has rarely appeared on variety shows, recently suddenly participated in "Round Table Pie."
He was very straightforward, unrestrained and unrestrained in it. Not slick at all, never avoiding problems, never going straight to the point, concisely and concisely to the point. On the show, he also unabashedly discussed some of his views on movies and some phenomena in the entertainment industry with several other guests. He never played Tai Chi and directly showed his attitude. Many of his views and opinions are very reasonable, making people feel at ease. For example, Dou Wentao asked him, Who do Wang Jiawei and Jia Zhangke prefer?
He replied that he likes Wong Kar-wai, because Jia Zhangke's technique is not good. Dou Wentao said that Wang Jiawei likes to drag and loses money. Wang Jing said: What do you care about others? It is their rule to find money to lose. Just a few words got the pulse of Wang Jiawei. Reminiscent of the ridicule on the Internet a few days ago about the "actor syndrome persecuted by Wong Kar-wai", the reason is that he has no script, waits for inspiration, and a long cycle. But from the perspective of Wang Jing in the industry, this is Wang Kar-wai's unique working principle. For example, when it comes to the various evaluations faced by a movie, his views are also very interesting. "Film critics have always had the least specifications. Anyone is a film critic. What is the reference value?" For example, when it comes to comedy, they talk about the rules of comedy. Exploring why people laugh at "comedy"? The guests at the table said that this kind of funny and miserable must be unrepresentative. Once it is representative, it will not be laughable. Dou Wentao concluded that once there is feeling, it is not funny. Dou Wentao said that the funny thing about comedy lies in the so-called "reversal." How to deal with "I will look at you in Li Ka-shing's villa ten years from now" and change it to "Humph, look at me in the servant's room ten years from now." The unlocking after the accumulation of emotions will produce joy sense. Wang Jing felt that it was a small rule, not a big one. The general rule of comedy is: overthrow the norm. The so-called normative targets of may be politics, religion, and sex, but these are in fact unspeakable. When the host asked him, how many people still want to make the audience laugh? Wang Jing felt that fewer and fewer people wanted to amuse the audience. He gave an example, "Such as Shen Teng in "Flying Life", he started acting as Dad, and he wanted to die. Compared with Charlotte in "Charlotte Annoyance", at that time he wanted to amuse the audience, as if he had more weight." Then he frankly said that he was not suitable for making comedy, because "there is no comedian I am satisfied with, so I dare not do it. Only if you have a comedian like yours, you can make the best comedy." He thought Comedy is the most troublesome of all performances, and comedy movies are also the hardest to make in all movies. The hardest part of making comedy is precisely: you have to convince yourself to do it. When the host asked sharply, why did Hong Kong movies decline? Wang Jing said that the collapse of Hong Kong films was not because of quality at all, but because of the collapse of the largest buyer, the film and television market in Taiwan. He believes that Hong Kong directors can still enjoy themselves when they come to the mainland to make movies, but they still have not achieved the degree of "emotional resonance" like "happy twists". "Everyone grew up with the same kind of resonance, it is better after all." When Dou Wentao asked inexplicably, why the film market is getting more and more money, the environment is getting better and better, but the quality of the film has not kept up? Wang Jing said two words, "Status." "The director is the same as the athlete." "Before you went back to sleep on a single bed, and came back with a piece of bread, in good condition. Now you live in a big villa and drive a Mercedes Benz. , And then give you a lot of things to cooperate. Your state is gone." This leads to a lot of things that could be done before, but can’t be done now. All these insights have made people see Wang Jing who is completely different from the established impression in the eyes of people in the past.
Many people said that they admired him after watching "Round Table Pie", and felt that he was living a wonderful life, too chic, so sophisticated and not so sophisticated, and he deserved to be in the big entertainment tank.People who have been fighting for decades have their own unique opinions and principles. Not only that, Wang Jing also responded to the audience's doubts about himself in the show for the first time. He didn't care at all by saying that he was an excellent commercial film director, and he didn't have so many feelings. I actually made films to make a living and earn money and support my family. And rationally analyzed why I have such an attitude toward employment. He believes that the reason why he can make movies and take utilitarianism is extremely important is that he is inseparable from his native family. Wang Jing was born in a family of performing arts. His father was Wang Tianlin, who was a director in Hong Kong. His father is a very pursuit and sentimental director.
He holds a pious belief in movies and loves the art of movies very much. The room is often full of books and scripts. He often reads and creates in it, pursuing his ideals. At that time, Wang Tianlin's greatest wish was to make an award-winning literary film. In 1959, Wang Tianlin directed his first film "The Flying Swordsman of Emei" to a great success. After that, he devoted all his efforts to producing the literary film "The Love of Wild Rose". After the filming of
, everyone was very satisfied, and even prepared a celebration banquet in advance. Unexpectedly, because of the dark money inside, the film failed to win the award as scheduled. Later, in order to make up for Wang Tianlin, the jury casually awarded him a prize for his commercial film "Happy Family" a few years later. This incident dealt a great blow to Wang Tianlin. At that time, he sadly said to Wang Jing: "You have a hit, you have it, and you don't have it."
Wang Jing's father is an idealist, he I love art, but I have to lose to reality. Due to career unwillingness and realistic oppression, Wang Tianlin was extremely poor in his middle age. Later, his wife was gambling and owed a huge sum of money, but the generous Wang Tianlin chose to forgive. At that time, the family expenses were huge. Wang Tianlin not only had to support his wife and five children, but also his mother-in-law and uncle Wang Pengyi's family of four, and two servants. Wang Tianlin was suffocated under the tremendous pressure of reality, and he had to borrow money to supplement his family, and was so cold-hearted by others.
In 1971, the 43-year-old Wang Tianlin's film and television company went bankrupt, which made their family's life worse, and Wang Tianlin had to be forced to seek a living. Because of his introverted personality and no personal connections, Wang Tianlin could only go to Taiwan to go to Taiwan or make up some clichéd bad movies for Jiahe Company against his will, so as to slowly pay off his debts. Regarding all this, the young Wang Jing saw in his eyes. He didn't want his father to be so painful, but he was helpless. He once wrote with emotion: "I love him very much, not only because he is my father, but because he was too rough in the first half of his life, suffered too much, bear too much burden, and survived too much grievance. . For the family, for the five children, he carried them one by one.” Later, his father paid off his debts and finally got a job at TVB. The family life gradually stabilized, but my mother started gambling again, even owing money. Make huge sums of money. His family fell apart and fell into trouble again. Wang Jing couldn't help but said with emotion in the program: "That time, my father and I broke down. I cried all night and swear to myself, in this life, I won't cry like this again." Perhaps it was his father as a sentient being. The director he pursued had a miserable ending for half his life, making Wang Jing realize that feelings are really illusory, and the price to be paid in order to maintain it is too great. Perhaps it was because he was so cold-eyed and looked down upon by others since he was a child, it made him see that the world is so cruel. Only by getting ahead and earning both fame and fortune can he gain the dignity of being a person, so he regards wealth so importantly. Perhaps as many people have said, what was missing when I was young, I will care desperately when I grow up. Because of childhood difficulties, he grew up to become greedy for fame and fortune, without feelings. However, at any rate he is so straightforward, telling people that my movie is a commodity, and I sell it just to make money. Rather than unscrupulously collecting money in the cloak of lofty feelings.
Although Wang Jing is both direct and coveted for fame and fortune. But in real life, he is a bold and generous person, who will generously help friends who are in difficulties to tide over them. He has supported many backup actors and directors. Once, Andy Lau's company had accumulated debts of nearly 40 million Hong Kong dollars. Wang Jing found him and gave him 6 films, which relieved his urgent need, and Wang Jing took great care of him on set. Liu Weiqiang first started with photography and has worked with Wang Jing on many films. After Wang Jing, Wen Jun, and Liu Weiqiang formed the company, with the "Young and Dangerous" series, Liu Weiqiang alsoPromote to the first-line director with this work. Wang Jing has never made literary and artistic films herself, but has funded many niche directors to make literary films. Xu Anhua, director of
, recalled that when it was the hardest time, he was looking for investment for "Day and Night in Tianshuiwei", and no one was interested. In the end, it was Wang Jing who solved her problems. After Wang Jing saw this project, he invested 1.2 million in Xu Anhua. Although the play has won many awards, it has just returned to its original value. Later, Xu Anhua's "Night and Fog in Tian Shui Wai" and "Frozen Fried Rice" by Xu Anhua had no accident.
This is Wang Jing. He loves this billowing red dust, is greedy for money and lustful, goes straight back and forth, and never cares about the opinions of others. But he was thorough and self-willed, spending money to fulfill his dreams for others and to do business at a loss. He is such a complicated contradiction, born with controversy and light. Some people love him, some hate him, but he is always clear and smart.
