Diao Yinan 's works of film noir have a remarkable temperament, and he is good at exploring the complexity of human nature. On October 11th, Diao Yinan appeared in the 4th Pingyao International Film Festival Young Mentor Master Class, sharing his film spirit and experience with the audience. Talking about the next director's work after "The Gathering of South Station ", he frankly said that there is no clear goal for the time being, but he will definitely continue the genre film road.
As a film director, Diao Yinan has always worked slowly and carefully, with few but fine works. From "Uniform" in 2003 to the present, there are only 4 feature films, and the other 3 are "Night Train", "Day Fireworks" and "Southern Station get together". In 2013, "Fireworks in the Day" won him the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival , and at the same time put the male lead actor Liao Fan on the throne. Looking back at the casting process that year, Diao Yinan said frankly that he actually found many actors at the time, and Liao Fan was not the first. "Actors sometimes feel that you haven't looked for me for the first time, does it mean that you don't pay much attention to me. In fact, when you stand in front of the camera, you are the best in our hearts. This is fate." Diao Yinan said. During the filming of the film, Liao Fan’s acting style changed with his understanding of the characters and film style, and finally appeared to be not so sophisticated and mature. “It looks like a bit of raw, like half-cooked beef. In fact, this kind of indeterminate performance and vague performance made him feel more life-like. "
"Fireworks in the Day" visually presents a cold and mysterious northeast urban landscape. When surveying the scene, Diao Yinan was initially attracted by the trees hanging on the ice and snow in Harbin. Later, he discovered that the night scene of Haerbing is also very distinctive. It is not dark, but has many small neon lights. At the end of 2019, Diao Yinan’s latest work "The Party at Southern Station" was released. The popular actor Hu Ge subverted the previous image in the film and played a dead end. Fugitive. Diao Yinan said that the original inspiration for this film had been before "Fireworks in the Day". At that time, he couldn't find the investment in making the film, and the script was overturned one by one. The whole person was very decadent, so he sat on a white Day dream, imagine that you are a pauper being hunted down, how to use the bounty to realize yourself. After getting the bounty, who will the money be given? He thought of a girl he liked in junior high school, and felt that she could report him, and then get the reward. "At the time, I thought it was pretty hypocritical, it was like a pure love theme, so I threw it there." After the filming of "Fireworks in the Day", he picked up the story again, and actually saw a similar real society news. "So sometimes your imagination may not be able to connect with life at the time. When there is nothing happening in life and it is something that is completely fabricated in your own mind, we can call it inspiration. I think this kind of imagination is There should be something in the creation, and don’t completely simulate reality.”
chose Hu Ge as the leading actor, which Diao Yinan called “choosing an actor instead”, “It’s what everyone thinks is inappropriate, I want to try it instead. Try." In his opinion, from the perspective of pop culture, it is nothing for a star to participate in a serious movie, it is a normal thing. "Hu Ge's own wishes are also relatively positive, so on the whole I think he fits the style of the entire movie, because the movie is not completely realism, so the choice of actors can also pay attention to some sense of form."
is just before the master class One day, the first trailer for the film "Moses on the Plain", directed by Zhang Ji and adapted from the novel of the same name by Shuang Xuetao, was exposed. This is the first time that Diao Yinan has served as a producer for a film. Entrusted by friends. He said that when supervising young directors, you need to be very careful about working with them, not only to protect their self-esteem, but also to correct some problems without mercy. However, he believes that film is always the art of the director. Ultimately, he must respect the director's ideas and give him full freedom. Source of
