Candidate for the Chinese Painting Examination (Chinese Painting) Wu Jun is selected from "Spring Mountain is Hopeful - 2024 Graduate Works Exhibition of the School of Chinese Painting, China Academy of Art", instructor: Pan Wenxun
Director An Panxi is a famous director of Korean love TV dramas. In addition to currently The newly updated "Graduation", "Secret Meeting", "Spring Night" and "Pretty Sister Who Always Treats Me to Dinner" are also widely loved by Chinese audiences. And he is obviously far more than good at shooting sweet and bitter love. He is not only a romantic love director, but also a realist director. He is really good at shooting people in social life. When filming "Secret Meeting", he seemed to have been a white glove of power. When filming "Spring Night" and "Sister", he seemed to be an old social beast for many years. People's feelings, ambitions, yearnings and fears follow the development of their lives. Every day, every meal, every encounter, every small or violent conflict unfolds.
He will use a large number of dark-toned lenses to track people's lives. They eat, go to work, get off work, go home, party, and exercise. Life is so tiring day after day, and in these repeated days, endless memories emerge. New and old troubles, light and dark interest entanglements, naked or hidden hierarchical relationships, torture and test people again and again - about what kind of people we are, our understanding of each other, and our understanding of ourselves, How will we face such self and others?
In his TV series, love is not so much the protagonist as it is the dessert dotted with cherries on the long life of a flowing meal, the powder in the ashes, the supply station on the way to a marathon, the moment of relaxation after days of tension, we Take a deep breath in love, then pull up the millstone of life, and then be a donkey (realistic director).
In his works, people's relationships always have bright and hidden lines. The male and female protagonists of "The Secret Meeting" are one who is a high-end white glove (first-class maid) from a large chaebol family, and the other is an unemployed young man from a poor background. They are closely related to each other. What is closely connected is their love for classical music and their talent for interpretation, which allows them to transcend social class and age, making their love from accidental to inevitable. In "Graduation", this time the medium is Korean literature. We can see Director Ahn's deep love, attachment and sad sigh for the literature of his country.
I consider myself someone who has some knowledge of him and his works, and I was fully prepared before watching "Graduation". However, the masters are always invincible and can be conquered from afar. I was caught off guard by the two scenes in the TV series. The Chinese class was completely defeated.
The filming location of "Graduation" is the life and work of teachers at a senior tutoring center in Daechi-dong, Gangnam District, Seoul. The heroine of the story, Seo Hye-jin, is a Chinese tutor. Director An arranged two open Chinese classes, one from Xu Huizhen and one from teacher Pyo Sang-seop, who resigned from a public high school and applied for a job at a cram school because of her positive provocation.
Xu Huizhen talked about the life and works of writer Park Wan-seo, introduced the era and atmosphere of the author's life, family background, and the experiences, encounters, and personalities of important family members, thereby introducing the text of the work, turning the writer from a must-exam question in the textbook into a Living people - friends-like people that students can get to know and get close to over time.
If I get to this point, I just feel that the lecture is so good. When Teacher Pyo Sang-seop gave the lecture, he succeeded in breaking my heart. The theme of Mr.
's open class was "Modern Korean Literary Thoughts." He first vividly told nursery rhymes on the stage. When the students, including me in front of the screen, all sighed at how well he spoke, he proposed a Question——Teacher
asked: "What does literary and artistic thought mean?" Student
: "It's dead." Teacher
: "Please let me go."
student: "Is it the history of history? "Teacher
said: "The merger of Japan and South Korea in 1910, Lee Kwang-soo's "Heartless" in 1917, the Thai-Western Literary Newspaper in 1918, the opening of a magazine in 1920, the poetry magazine "Poetry and Literature" in 1930, and so on. You have spent so much time on it. If you spend a lot of time memorizing these things, of course you think literature is literary history, but it’s not the word, it’s thoughts, trends of thought, so you don’t need to memorize them! Because I can’t take the exam!
Trends of thought, trends of thought, studying literary and artistic trends is equivalent to the process of thinking following the trend of the times. This is also a process of broadening your horizons. Whether it is a poetry magazine or a novel, from the moment you face a literary test question, you must enter the world of the narrator so that you can face the world with the same vision, language, and ideas as the author who lived in that era. "
This is so heartbreaking, don't you think? Dae Chi-dong, the highest-level cram school gathering place in South Korea, gathers the most powerful high school students, but so many outstanding students do not know "literary trends" and do not understand "Thinking" means, I don't even know how to write "thinking". Of course, from the 1950s when South Korea completely abolished Chinese characters until the Lee Myung-bak government changed the name of Seoul to Seoul in 2005, this day was foreseeable. . But isn’t rejecting the Chinese characters that have been used since the Ming Dynasty equivalent to rejecting history, rejecting the past, rejecting culture, and emasculating yourself?
When you can’t even read the words used by your own country’s writers, you How to have the same vision, language and ideas as them?
Which way has more self-esteem?
The teacher said, "Don't remember it!" Because I can’t take the exam! "When he spoke, he said in a cherishing tone, "All the works in the textbooks have their reasons for existing. The reason for letting you read them is not for memorization and examination, but for the hope that you can have a sense of the struggles and troubles of the characters of the era. "Resonance, and use a broader vision to explore the understanding of human society and the world", I was heartbroken again. Why does the starting point seem to be very good, but in a meritocratic society, it turns into shackles of scores, and the original living things are , turned into pieces of dead things, leaving students and teachers trapped in it, unable to die?
At this moment, thinking back and comparing teacher Xu Huizhen’s explanation of the life of writer Park Wan-seo in her class, Director An A perfect hit that made my heart turn into dumpling stuffing.
Writer Park Wan-seo lost her father when she was three years old. Her father died of appendicitis. Although it was during the Japanese occupation, appendicitis was not an incurable disease. Her father died. The reason was that the family insisted on not sending her to the hospital and tried acupuncture and even other treatments at home. She was sent to the hospital because there was no other way. However, the writer's mother insisted on letting her children receive a new education and asked her daughter to read "The Thousand-Character Essay". The father-in-law mocked: Is this education? Is this showing off?
"Is this education?" This is showing off! "
As human beings develop forward, they must inherit the good and discard the bad. However, how unfortunate it is. Why do we often do the opposite, clinging to the bad and discarding the good? Time and time again, we repeat the same mistakes.
Xu Huizhen is a member of this utilitarian society. A winner with good academic qualifications, good resume, good work ability, and good economic situation. As a famous teacher in South Korea, a country with many cram schools, she can never lose her job, but she still chooses to resign from the cram school. A bunch of dead things, pursuing a living life, but the students who live in the cram school, the parents who live in the cram school, the people who live under the exams, and the country who lives on the exams. When will they graduate?
Stills from the Korean TV series "Graduation" (2024)
I get heartbroken too easily, really, especially when faced with highly skilled creators, the most important thing is What is said, what is not said breaks my heart even more.
Chekhov said: "When people eat, it seems that they are just eating, but it is while eating and drinking that some people get lucky and some people are ruined." ."So people's losses that they can't put into words, or even unconsciously, the fate that they think they can accept but swallows them whole, and the past that they can't abandon often bother me and break my heart. Also. Therefore, I cannot be a person whose butt determines my head. I have no way to choose how much empathy to open based on nationality, gender, and class differences. If a tomato is sad, I will also break my heart for it. I often laugh at myself and say. My body is full of useless and highly emotional energy. They are raging in my body but cannot find an outlet. Who can I talk to? Who can I entrust to you? I want to go, no matter who I give it to, if it is not scary, it will definitely be looked down upon.
So I post angrily on dozens of friends every day (laughs)!
I think creators like Director An may also face the problem at the beginning. I have the same question, who can put this overflowing, useless and hopeless passion, heartbreak and pain, worry and care, and full of complaints into a TV series, into a romantic TV series disguised as love? , make it into a thousand-layer cake, and eat whichever layer you like!
"Those who will know the solution once they meet the great sage after all eternity will do so in the morning and evening." "
Don't be limited to those around you, don't be limited to this moment. People who understand will always appear.
In the final analysis! I just write too little!
