has suspended filming of the epidemic, but does not pause to think and create
has pressed the pause button for the world. Yan Geling in Berlin shared her life across the screen. "This kind of stagnation is very meaningful to me. I read a lot of books. I think I want to empty it out. I have been busy. I didn’t reflect on myself and my work. This is an opportunity. I have had a very, very full and very A year of self-control, I used to feel involuntary, involuntary, running around. Now because of such a major excuse, I don’t run away. I think this is a warning to each of us, such a busy, attitude towards the environment and towards life It is worth reflecting on.”
Yan Geling's life and mentality during the epidemic resonated with other guests, except for one person, Tianyuan. Her identities are quite diverse. She is a director, an actor, and an original musician. "The interest is too wide" is her comment on herself. She even played and sang a new song for everyone at the scene, showing her versatile, natural and sensual side. Unlike everyone who is busy reading and charging, Tian Yuan said that he "played games throughout the epidemic." "I reflected on myself. It seems that I am playing games. I am not a very self-disciplined person. During the epidemic, everyone faces a lot of problems, especially in our industry. We originally had to do a lot of things and plans this year because the epidemic has been delayed repeatedly. Some things even disappeared. Perhaps to escape, I sometimes go to the park and play games, but I often play games one second, and I worry about the future in the next second... The epidemic has changed my perspective. I will pay more attention to people. People are so small, and one person can experience so many ups and downs, back and forth, and people are so fragile but can be as rich as the entire universe. I have written many songs and many stories at this time."
The
epidemic has not only changed people’s mentality, but also has an impact on the creation and distribution of movies. Different creators have different creative habits. The screenwriter Ami said, "In the face of the uncertainty of human destiny, we need to settle and think." Yan Geling also believes that it is too early to start writing about the epidemic, but Wu Kexi is a creator of another style, "I am stimulated by news events. Next, I will write a lot of things very strongly. For me, creation and art come from suffering, or some painful and real feelings I have experienced. I turn these feelings into characters and plots. During the epidemic, I I wrote a short story about the state and story of the family facing the epidemic.” The screenwriter Chi Yun revealed that she had just returned from abroad when the epidemic broke out. “My biggest feeling is that we can spend this time together. How many lives are changed? Here, as a film worker, I want to serve everyone to a greater extent and express the charm and strength of the male and female spirits. The Chinese nation is fighting the epidemic.Middle School is very good. This will fit into the characters in my lower works and put the spirit of China in the movie.
Not only did
create, the epidemic even changed the mode of publicity. Chen Jie talked about the changes in film publicity methods in the post-epidemic era from the perspective of a producer. "During this period of time, we have been thinking about new distribution methods. Many films have helped us break through the traditional cinema distribution ideas. The emotional pressure and industry impact brought by the epidemic are very large, but our peers are actively facing these changes, and Use an open mind to create new ways and methods to connect our content with more audiences."
Audiences need to see more lively female characters
host Cheng Qingsong from the 1980s Huang Shuqin and Zhang Nuan Xin's film cuts into it, throwing out the issue of female films and female characters. The 9 female filmmakers present and online revealed their voices around the topic.
Last year, Yongmei won the Berlin actress with her real and natural performance in "Earth and Forever", but "real and natural" is not enough. Recently, she is trying new ways of acting. "I am not from a major, and I have not been disciplined by the method in the academy. What you see is my own life state, which may be more life-oriented and natural. When many exaggerated performances make everyone a little tired, my performance may It will make people feel comfortable...but I have some new ideas in my creation recently. I don’t know if I can realize them. I still want to go through the training of the academy to take a different path and make new attempts."
Actors try their best to polish and expand themselves. Although they choose different paths, they have the same professional attitude towards excellence. Yan Bingyan has been pursuing a more relaxed and natural performance. In order to provide a sense of realism and substitution for the performance, she laid down two iron laws: "Scenarios with a shooting period of less than 45 days will not be accepted, not at the same time." Will learn from another actress Zhang Yi's performance. "She is not an actor, there are no rules and regulations. Every performance is completely instinctive, real and vivid. I have learned a lot."
A Berlin actress, a golden rooster queen, and two actors Yong Mei and Yan Bingyan. Has decades of enthusiasm and perseverance for performance. They have been waiting for a good role and a good script. Yongmei even did not hesitate to launch "sugar-coated shells" on the spot to please Amei and Yang Lina. "I have always wanted to find works with female subjects, and have been waiting. I am particularly willing to cooperate with creators who have strong female expressions such as Yang Lina and Amei. I really want to please them and'sugar-coated' them in life. "Spring Tide" I particularly like, it is extremely scarce in the market. Middle-aged actresses like us have a lot of experience and accumulation of life and emotions, and can express such deep and rich works. So we must protect our own state We are waiting for more female-themed works to be shown by us."
Director Yang Lina, who was named and praised by Yongmei, is preparing a new film "Spring Song" after "Spring Dream" and "Spring Tide", "I have been around With this theme creation, my films are all female films. I especially love my actors. All actors are both elves and wizards. Whether in life or in the movie, I love them very much. In China, women The opportunities for actors become less and less at a certain stage, but I think actresses at 40 are beautiful, and actresses after 40 are more beautiful. I am a female director who writes plays for women, and I am willing to write plays for you." In addition to expressing concern and love for women, Yang Lina also talked about the content of her new film in the Northeast dialect, ";We have a problem with Gada in the Northeast. The male chauvinism is particularly heavy. It is good for women and bad for a while. In my next movie, I want to talk about chauvinism and speak up for our Northeast women. ,say something. "
Who says women can’t write male movies
Now that the discussion of women’s films and the attention of women have become a trend in society, Tahara talked about his worries. Is paying attention to women to make them consume more, or Because I love them? "As a director, I always take a sigh of relief when I go to the set. I hope that everyone will not underestimate me. So I will deliberately carry the machine on the set and learn a lot of knowledge to arm myself. I think this is because I have no confidence and lack of The feeling of being protected. I hope that the world will love women more. In fact, men and women are not fighting. I hope that this society can be tolerant so that everyone has enough choices and it is very comfortable to be yourself. "
However, the reality is that it is too difficult for female filmmakers to "be themselves" in movies. Especially when actors, screenwriters, directors and other departments need to coordinate, "be yourself" and "be directed" A balance must be found. "The director is the ceiling of the screenwriter", Amei used these words to ridicule herself. When there is a disagreement between the screenwriter and the director that cannot be compromised, the screenwriter must eventually compromise and move forward according to the director's thinking.
Mei’s approach is to substitute herself, try constantly, and deduce a variety of possibilities, and ultimately it is up to the director to decide. “In TV series, actors still have performance space. We will make uncomfortable places comfortable during the performance, and there will be impromptu modifications. For very serious and rigorous works, the director will require that a word cannot be changed, and he has to figure out what the director requires and how to play the role. "
Yan Bingyan called herself a "peacemaker", she led the whole crew to read the script together. "We read the script three times for "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl". The advantage is that we all sat together in the early stage. We have our own strengths and read the script. Can solve many contradictions. "
Regarding "film is the art of directors", Yan Geling has long recognized the reality, "never more true". "I often spend a lot of thought to write some lines, and I said where I went in the movie. ? The story and clues were discussed and determined, but many detailed descriptions and lines were very painstaking and disappeared. I never take it seriously, because I always write scripts remotely, and I direct everything I shoot. "
is different from the script, Yan Geling is "serious, cherishing, and pious" towards her novels, and naturally is very "more true" to the identity of a "female writer". "The term "female writer" is like a special category. It seems that the things she writes are not for all human beings, and the things women write are those of women. This is what makes me most angry. Why should I emphasize "female writer" when saying "Yan Geling is a writer", and why? The thinking about the entire modern history of China in my works. Which male writer has done such thinking? What we care about, what I write, belongs to all mankind, not just to the women's club! "
Yan Geling revealed that he has just finished writing two novels, "It is about men's stories. I also show you guys. Don't I understand men?" Can't I write about male subjects? Of course i canWrite it out, and it's wonderful. I use this to tell you that your territory is not yours. We can also write about men, and we can also write about movies that men watch. The work I wrote just wanted to make you a big mouth, who said that women can't write movies for men. "
