host Lang Yongchun said: "Compared with before, it is much gentler."
Feng Xiaogang responded with a little helplessness: "If you suffer a frank loss, the trouble will come from your mouth."
A few words, very very Simple, but regarding the problem of "the small steel cannon stalled", this time, 65-year-old Feng Xiaogang told the real reason.
Of course, this is not the first time Feng Xiaogang has responded to this issue.
In a previous interview, Feng Xiaogang even said bluntly: "Public figures can only scold and fight without fighting back. This is the price to be borne by being a star."
This is not bad, but it is really hard to say. Now Feng Xiaogang Just said it.
used to be arrogant and unstinting, but now he has not only become gentle, he has even given in, but he has also looked away.
In fact, it has been shown in the movie. In the past, it was a comedy that dared to expose and satirize, but now it is no longer offensive.
This is also related to the environment of the times, but Feng Xiaogang also has a clear understanding of himself.
He knows that his own era has long passed. " A generation of directors serve a generation of audiences ". In an era when newcomers are emerging in large numbers, it is time for him to put away his edge. He even warned himself "not to fall into some kind of paranoia".
On the one hand, it is an issue of age, and on the other hand, it is also an issue of the atmosphere and environment of the times.
is shocked by the various comments on the Internet, but he is unable to change them. In the end, he can only let nature take its course, accept and face it calmly.
As for the future, he has already arranged everything to make his life easier and more enjoyable.
The former Feng Xiaogang did have enough capital to be arrogant and defy the heavens and the earth.
After all, from early TV series to New Year films to commercial blockbusters, and even later literary films, Feng Xiaogang has indeed achieved good results, and such achievements are not only in terms of reputation and honors, but also in box office.
The box office champions in those years were all Feng Xiaogangâs New Year films.
In his early years, Feng Xiaogang dared to scold everything.
"The abundance of junk movies is also related to the large number of junk viewers. Is it because there are many junk viewers that there are so many junk movies? The fact that Chinese movies are so junk now must be related to the large number of junk viewers."
This This is his most classic passage.
Switching from TV series to movies, Feng Xiaogang pioneered New Year films. "Feng's Comedy" became an instant hit, but at that time he also encountered all kinds of criticism.
A certain newspaper directly published an article saying: Feng Xiaogang's New Year's film is a "low-quality lunch box" and advised him to "stop staying in the film industry and endlessly make money from them in the name of 'celebrating the New Year' for the people." At the same time, it also ruined Chinese movies."
Feng Xiaogang angrily went to the newspaper office and started to complain: "You editors, be careful, there is no place to complain when you lose your teeth." Before leaving, he did not forget to say harsh words: "Be careful when you go out, lest you get beaten."
Later, Feng Xiaogang became more and more crazy.
After all, his Lunar New Year film was well-received and a hit, so he became careless and even arrogant.
"Either Chinese movies help me, or I help Chinese movies."
"Cats have cat ways, rats have rat ways, he is the rat way, and he is walking the road of billions of dollars."
Looking at such remarks, Feng Xiaogang really dares to say it, but he also has the confidence to say it.
When "Avatar" became a hit in China, Feng Xiaogang didn't take it seriously, saying bluntly, "It's nothing special, and Chinese filmmakers don't need to criticize it."
Even director Wong Kar Wai was criticized by him.
"I'm annoyed by this guy the most. I don't know what to think. You can write a script and take a look at it. You can only fool foreigners. You can't fool Americans. You can only fool Europeans in decline."
But now director Wong Kar-wai has made " There are hit TV series like "Flowers", but he has produced substandard web dramas like "Echo".
Feng Xiaogang has changed. As he said, he has suffered losses, but at the same time, the times and environment have changed, and he has reached his age.
Such an old man can no longer be the same as he was when he was young. Not only is his edge gone, he must also lose it.
But at the same time, the talent is exhausted.
This is something he has publicly admitted.
"I wrote it out the night before, and now I can't write it after I've been mumbling for a long time. I just admitted it, and my talents are exhausted."
"Little steel cannon" has turned into "gentle cannon". This is inevitable, and he must face it. Yes.
And judging from the current interview, he has indeed accepted all this.
Feng Xiaogang had obviously expected the box office failure of "If You Are the One 3". In an interview with
, Feng Xiaogang said that there is a generation gap between himself and today's young audiences. He is not interested in their entertainment methods, but at the same time, they are also not interested in the things he shoots.
In his opinion, this can be equated.
Although it is not necessary for every generation to have similar hobbies, good movies can definitely arouse collective resonance. However, when Feng Xiaogang made "If You Are the One 3", he did not have high expectations or desires for the box office. He wanted more to "do something that he felt was fun and comfortable." In fact, he also found empathy with the current audience, but the result Failed.
But no matter what, Feng Xiaogang has really changed. He has relieved his burden and is no longer anxious, because he knows that his time is short and he should enjoy it and not worry too much. Caring too much about other people's opinions will only increase your worries.
" Looking back today, I feel that I am very lucky. The times push you to seize such opportunities and realize your creative dreams and wishes. "
At the end, Feng Xiaogang said this, he I really saw it and understood it clearly, and even more reconciled!
