Director Guan Hu and others support Jia Zhangke's new film: his film best represents China now

"Children of Jianghu"

On September 16, Jia Zhangke's new film "Children of Jianghu" held its premiere in Beijing. This is the first time the film has met with a domestic audience after being shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes in May this year.

grinds a sword in three years. "Children of the Rivers and Lakes" was shot with six types of photographic equipment, which was shot across Shanxi, Sichuan, Xinjiang and many other places. "The Children of the Rivers and Lakes" tells the ups and downs that Qiaoqiao and Bin have experienced in the past 17 years, showing the earth-shaking changes in Chinese society after the new millennium. In addition to the two starring roles of Zhao Tao and Liao Fan, well-known filmmakers such as Xu Zheng, Zhang Yibai, Zhang Yi, Dong Zijian, and Diao Yinan also starred in all kinds of small characters. Feng Xiaogang originally had a guest appearance, but now the release version has been deleted.

can invite so many big names in the circle to appear in friendship, which shows the good popularity of director Jia Zhangke. Not only that, more friends from the circle showed up to support the premiere. After the screening, Sina Entertainment had an exclusive dialogue with Guan Hu, Cao Baoping, Liang Jing, Wang Xiaoshuai, Li Xiaofeng, Pan Binlong, Xu Gehui, Wang Hongwei, etc., and listened to them immediately. Thanks for listening to them. Director

Guan Hu: Xiao Jia has changed a lot from "Xiao Wu" to the present, with a lot more perceptual elements. The only constant is to pay attention to people's livelihood, to reality, and to the changes of the times. I think this is a very scarce Chinese movie. We all have to support and encourage this kind of film to be released. I hope that this quality will continue, and it will lead to the emergence of more films that care about reality and changes in the Chinese era.

Strictly speaking, 50 years later, to see what China is now, I think the most representative films are Xiaojia's movies, so we should support it. (How does it feel to see so many friends in the circle have guest appearances?) He didn't invite me either! I dare not say that in a guest appearance, Liao Fan played very well. He is completely my favorite among all the roles he has played.

Professor Wang Hongwei: I don’t know that it is such a story through the information I have read before. In a sense, it is an epic love story. Seeing it is the love of two people, the things behind it are very complicated.

This is the most affectionate film of Director Jia I have seen. In the past, Director Jia’s films were very emotionally restrained. This film invested a lot of emotions. This may be related to age, as he said before. Right.

(How do you think about the long time span of the script?) Generally speaking, it is more difficult if you are busy telling stories and telling time. This is a few time points and several large episodes. Chinese movies rarely do this. I like the middle two sections very much. One is that Zhao Tao went to Fengjie to find Liao Fan, and Liao Fan was sent back. These two sections are actually done at two time points, but the emotional concentration, dramatic power, and character tension of the characters are all It's very strong. I think this is a feature that didn't exist in the previous films of Director Jia, which is quite fresh. Very good, I think there will be a very unexpected impression in the audience, which is even more different than "The Old Man in Mountains and Rivers".

Director Li Xiaofeng: I like it very much. I have watched Jia Zhangke's movies for 18 years. On the one hand, he is very emotional, and on the other hand, his response to the times is always the most timely. This is very remarkable. And I think there is not only emotion, but also the edge; although there is also warmth in it, but more importantly, the strength is still there. In recent years, "The Destiny of Heaven", "Old People of Mountains and Rivers", and "Children of the Rivers and Lakes" have come from the same line, and they are all very good-looking movies.

(This movie was shot with 6 different photographic equipment. As a director, would you pay special attention to this aspect when watching it?) Yes, the first paragraph is 1:1 or 4:3. I thought it was Watching "Xiao Wu"-that kid woke up suddenly, in that state, I felt that he hadn't seen anything of this kind in a movie theater for a long time. He was very keen and sensitive. I especially like this kind of sharpness, not at all. Hidden.

Director Cao Baoping: The biggest feeling is, why didn't I have a woman like Zhao Tao beside me (laughs)! The history of a woman and the history of a woman's rivers and lakes were very touched after watching them, and they also maintained the consistent style of Jia Zhangke's movies, which has his unique temperament. There are many scenes that I am familiar with, and I am very moved. Zhang Yibai is so funny. Xu Zheng and Lao Diao (Diao Yinan) played well, and they are all very good. Next time, I will also play a cameo.

Director Wang Xiaoshuai: (Jia Zhangke) As a good friend of mine and a fellow for many years, I really urge everyone to watch it. Every time I watch Director Jia’s movies, it is a kind of enjoyment and it brings a very poetic touch. , Very emotional, something that touches your emotions in every scene. We are in this arena, really. Suggest everyoneGo and see, let the box office not lose what it should have because we don't go. The actors are very good, mainly Zhao Tao and Liao Fan, both of them are very energetic and very moving; others, like Zhang Yichuan, can also be played as well.

actor Liang Jing: This is the second time I watched it. The first time I watched it was the world premiere in Cannes. The second time I watched it more closely, I saw a lot of performances and directors' intentions. I was particularly moved, but more moved than the first time I saw it, and I understood a lot of things that I didn't have time to recall.

Director Jia has always been very concerned about social changes, and what is particularly interesting about this scene is that he can see many symbols of his previous movies, such as "Ren Xiaoyao", "The Good Man in Three Gorges", mineral water bottles, clothing, hairstyles, and clever. A clever name... I think Director Jia's summary of his previous decades is very representative.

When the heroine saw the UFO again, I was very touched. I felt very romantic and sad, the kind of helplessness in life, the prisoner of the universe... I especially like it. The two protagonists really contributed great acting skills and are very enjoyable. As an actor, I really learned a lot.

When I first watched Liao Fan perform, I quietly said to the person next to him, why did Liao Fan still use dubbing? After watching it for three minutes, I found out that (the dialect lines) was really what Liao Fan said by himself, which was great.

host Xu Gehui: I have always liked Director Jia’s movies very much, and after watching this one, I also like it very much. It should be said that this is a movie that I watched without any foreknowledge and expectation. After watching it, I feel that as always, Jia Zhangke uses a very distinctive language with his own symbols, not only telling stories, but also describing an era and expressing A kind of mind.

Jia Zhangke's film allows you to constantly walk between the small and the big, the small is the plain details, and the big is a pattern and feelings. Moreover, he is very good at using light brushwork and telling heavy stories, so he is called "children of the rivers and lakes, deep and righteous." He made us deeply feel that the rivers and lakes exist at any time, but the love is getting harder and harder to find. After watching the movie, we will still be moved by the love.

media person Chen Chaohua: I will watch Jia Zhangke's movies. I think "The Children of the Rivers and Lakes" is the best film of Director Jia. The rivers and lakes are the hearts of the people. Both Zhao Tao and Liao Fan performed very good inner dramas. Director Jia is very stubborn. It is now 2018. The story spanning 17 years is still expressed in the rhythm of the beginning of the new century. Maybe there is something he insists on in his heart.

I feel that the more you are in a slow rhythm, the more you can show your inner things. In particular, Zhao Tao, from a rebellious girl to an old woman who has experienced the world and has a very peaceful heart, is perfectly presented. I like it very much.

actor Pan Binlong: It's very good. I have a lot of empathy. I have been a soldier in Shanxi for seven years. Many languages ​​and emotions, including the relationship between characters, actually feel that I have experienced them by my side or by myself, which is very touching. I especially liked the performances of the two leading actors. I especially liked the scenes where they were in the hotel. They were always long shots.
