"Everyone lives in this sky, but how do you face your life? How do you treat your life?" This is the documentary director Gan Lu's thinking about life and the source of inspiration for "Broad Sea and Sky". Recently, Ganlu accepted an exclusive interview with Jingbao APP reporter. In her words, she is full of love and persistence for documentary films. "You are not recording your life, but when you slowly enter their lives with people who have nothing to do with you at the beginning, the subtle and complicated feeling is hard to explain."
Shooting "Broad Sea and Sky" seems to be destined to
documentary "Broad Sea and Sky" as the official documentary of "Captain of China", divided into "that day", "that moment" and "that journey" 3 chapters, the total length of 218 minutes, with a documentary film The method recorded the wonderful process of the film from the preliminary preparation to the completion of the film, and more intuitively restored and in-depth analysis of the successful handling of special real events by the Sichuan Airlines flight 3U8633.
filmed "Broad Sea and Sky", also to restore the truth. How did the captain and various departments cooperate to get the plane back safely? Many people do not understand these details. When Gan Lu and the film crew went to investigate, they contacted many people in the civil aviation department. The more she understood the incident, the more difficult it was for her to successfully deal with the special situation. A flight expert told Ganlu that the most difficult thing was the reaction time. So at the end of the first chapter of the documentary, she mentioned the exploration of human potential.
The reason Ganlu has a special feeling for the Sichuan Airlines 3U8633 incident is because her hometown is Chengdu, and she often chooses to take a Sichuan Airlines plane when she returns home, so this incident is too close to her. The other reason can be explained as a kind of "destiny."
In January 2009, Ganlu went to the United States for the first time for academic exchanges in a documentary, just in time for the successful emergency landing of US Airways Flight 1549 piloted by Captain Sally. She saw the plane alternately landing on the Hudson River. All this From Gan Lu's point of view, everything is an arrangement of fate. She was destined to shoot "Broad Sea and Sky".
stars are ordinary people, ordinary people are stars
In the documentary, we see that Liu Weiqiang and the protagonists are so natural and real under the lens of Ganlu, that is how they usually work and live, which we can’t see That side. Ganlu has always said that the most important thing in making a documentary is the trust of both parties. The documentary is ultimately about the relationship with the other party. "I have been making documentaries for many years. People in the film industry know me more or less. As a recorder, you must have an attitude and a bottom line. When the documentary is presented, your mentality will be exposed. This is a kind of both sides. Achievement. Thanks to everyone who appeared in the camera for trusting me in such a short time." As long as you have watched Ganlu's documentary, you will also understand the appearance behind the star halo. She doesn't see them as stars. "In my eyes, they are ordinary people, and maybe the ordinary people filmed are stars. I prefer to restore a side of their lives." At the end of the documentary, the crew of "Captain China" had a group dinner, and Du Jiang sang a little shyly in front Watching the screen while singing while watching KTV, it looks like a friend around you. This is what Ganlu wants to pass on to us: "I don't want everyone to think that this film is heavy, although the whole incident will be moving. I like their optimistic attitude towards everything. I hope there is a kind of power in it."
Keeping your original intention is the minimum respect for shooting documentaries
Do you really know documentaries? Do you think that a documentary is all you need to keep shooting with a camera? This is Ganlu’s question, and her answer makes you really feel what kind of realm you should have as an excellent documentary director. "It's difficult. Because the objects you shoot are real, and you are concerned about human nature. How do you record their inner world and explore people's psychology. The documentary film is already subjective, and how you look at it is very important. , But if you don’t have your own independent thinking and your own understanding cannot reach a certain height, it will be difficult for the other party to establish an equal dialogue with you. Therefore, you must keep pursuing progress. "Seeing the world, seeing all beings, and seeing yourself in the end, Ganlu I think the most important thing is the original intention. The experience of
in shooting documentaries for many years has also allowed Gan Lu to continue to grow. “The perception of issues and the world at different stages have also changed, making me more mature. In addition, I am fortunate that I still have enthusiasm.” Gan Lu sincerely told
Reporter, documentary is a difficult road, noSo many so-called auras and understanding of others. She said that if you make a movie, there must be something I really want to express, not to be a film director.
Ten years ago, the large-scale documentary series "We Are Dancing" directed by Gan Lu premiered on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Central Ballet, which caused a strong response from the industry. Ten years later, Gan Lu and her team focused on the new generation of Chinese ballet dancers in the form of films. "Dozens of ballet dancers from the Central Ballet Company starred in this ballet movie. The creation of this ballet movie is full of experimentation. With the assistance of many parties, the film expands the ballet element to a wider space. Ganlu said, "We are trying to do things that others have not done. This is a challenge." Through the lens of Ganlu, we saw that life is warm and colorful. She also taught us that the documentary is calm but not ruthless. As she said: Even if you have seen the cruel truth, you will be deeply moved at that moment. (Jing Bao reporter Zhang Yingge)
