"I still remember it very much." This is the feeling of the audience Feng Xiaogang for the movie "Fang Hua". And in his first 59 years, you can't see the traces of "Fang Hua" at all. The image he gave to the public is far away from its tone. In the shots of "Fang Hua", the natural face without modification, the long legs with leg sleeves, the slightly raised chest, and the meticulous character language, seem to be returning to the years of mass production, and it looks like a sense of age. .
In Feng Xiaogang’s timeline, the female soldiers of the art troupe looked like a thousand people, but they were stubborn. The stubborn female literary youth He Xiaoping, the son of senior cadres, forgive Shuwen’s superiority, and Lin Dingding’s arrogance and shrewdness, all once occupied the glamour. The art troupe; and after being demobilized and fighting, their lives have become old and lonely.
Feng Xiaogang used to be a civilian in a military area army, and he was promoted and participated in many art shows. Speaking of it, there are some similarities with the hero of "Fang Hua". With Liu Feng, the character in the film, I can see the director measuring the past with fierce eyes. Liu Feng's humble endeavors, like the beginning of the day, followed. After Lin Dingding's injury and inner death, the unspeakable destiny of Liu's life is as desolate as the desolation of the west. Feng Xiaogang's "Fang Hua" shuttles between people and times, time and space, blooming and lonely. In the convergence of the main line, the audience can clearly see the bifurcation of history. It is an alternative that is difficult to find at the moment. Youth theme.
However, it is indeed a risky attempt to describe the changes in this historical period so clearly, and to derive the plot that supports such changes. This once again confirms Feng Xiaogang’s courage. A commercial film director with box office appeal changed the direction of the wind. Instead, his career became more and more courageous at the age of nearly 60 years old. For the second time, he braved the predicament of a literary film to fight in the commercial market. ! Which is the last literary film? There is no doubt that it is "I am not Pan Jinlian".
"I'm not Pan Jinlian" triggered three crazes: the first is the sensitivity of the subject matter, that is, the film's funds are invested in an "unsafe" area; the second craze is Feng Xiaogang and the richest man and his son. As for the process, the process is not important. The 400 million box office literary film shows that the penetration of the movie theme to the audience has changed; the third is the 2017 Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor All from "I am not Pan Jinlian". And the third craze made Feng Xiaogang's movie heart even stronger. He said at the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony: "I want to always insist on making realistic movies."
In addition to Feng Xiaogang is an army civilian soldier, the screenwriter Yan Geling was also a red ballet art soldier. Two people who are full of emotions for the art troupe, and two creators who have accumulated a sense of precipitation hit it off, and the unprecedented film "Fang Hua" was born. If they once handed over their youth to the country, this movie undoubtedly gave their youth memories to the audience.
Of course, there are many courageous and thoughtful directors across the country, not just Feng Xiaogang. It is rare for a 60-year-old old coffee capital to fight youth, box office, main theme, and era again. To re-examine the historical tragedy with the care for the characters, this in itself is a crushing advance. In particular, he gazes at history with a non-government and non-civilian attitude, surrounding this controversial past, showing the vicissitudes of fate and bringing emotion to the audience!
Each age has its own difficulties. We hate this age and denounce it. We didn't expect a worse age to quietly stay in the past. With regard to the era when "speaking bad things were justified or even glorified", through the aftertaste on the screen, more new understandings were discovered. "Fang Hua" is undoubtedly a tribute to those unknown cultural workers, who sang in harmony with the times with their youth. Without youth, all romantic and artistic beliefs have become the relics of life, which is a pity. In
, the relationship between Liu Feng, Lin Dingding and He Xiaoping has never started, but it seems to have gone through countless times. In the abyss of feelings, they put on the uniform of the new revolution, but still struggled in the consciousness of the old class. Everyone in the regiment was once "core" and "marginal" because of a more fundamental contradiction in existence. .
"Fang Hua" brings up the polarized life experience of the art workers and the frontline soldiers, forming a sharp contrast. Perhaps Liu Feng’s hand was not buried under the gunfire, but because of the “touching” incident.Pieces. The evil consequences caused by that touch are the final chapter of his love history and life. There is a bit of a touch for this character, and it is more touching. In fact, during the tortuous development of the plot, my complex emotions can also be seen from them.
No matter what, the bottom of the film that integrates youth, time and humanity demonstrates Feng Xiaogang's ability to control the film. As a 60-year-old director who is still growing up, in addition to his perseverance in his artistic pursuits, he also needs to admit that his sensibility to life is beyond reach. "Fang Hua" is another peak of Feng Xiaogang's work, which proves that his talent is sensitive to literature, and it also fully proves that he is the one who truly understands the "insecure" and "safe" areas.
