my time as a director

However, although I don't care about it, I still have children, otherwise Cheng Kaige wouldn't have gone to be a mentor for a variety show that performed competitive performances.

His son, who had just been admitted to the Film Academy as a foreign student, now got all the resources from Penguin.

According to the factions on the Internet, it should be called Goose Farm.

For the sake of his son, Cheng Kaige went to work in a program hosted by Penguin.

However, although his son relies on Penguin's resources, it doesn't mean that Cheng Kaige is Penguin's man and wants to treat Li Qian as an enemy.

In fact, except for Li Qian who made complaints about "The Orphan of Zhao"...Strictly speaking, he himself forgot whether he made complaints, anyway, the media reported it at the beginning.

Then because of the media fanning the flames, there was a little bit of unpleasantness.

That's all. It was quite enjoyable to cooperate with "My Motherland and Me".

Of course, it was also because Li Qian did not interfere with Cheng Kaige's unit.

Cheng Kaige quite agrees with Li Qian's statement. As a former master figure, the study of film is definitely not as unbearable as those who satirized him.

As an artist, Cheng Kaige cites classics in every word.

"Laura Mulvey discussed the role of women in "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema". Women are seen as images, and men are the bearers of seeing.

Female characters are usually a carrier of desire, and this way of expression can release their masculine arrogance while attracting the attention of male and female audiences, and finally achieve a kind of convergence of interests...."

Li Qian is speechless, what the hell am I talking about the market, you are talking nonsense here.

However, it's not easy to interrupt someone's pretense.

This is indeed the case in his previous movies. In his movies, female characters are always interspersed with a tragic image in the plot of the movie. Even the very brilliant concubine in "The Legend of the Demon Cat" has never been the theme, so it is not used as a lens. The dominator is the absent person present in the camera.

Before finishing talking, of course now, Cheng Kaige cited some situations in which female characters in film and television works are now becoming dominant, as the theme, and no longer the carrier of something.

"This is an obvious change and difference, not only due to changes in consumption capacity, but also changes in thinking. With the development of the times, there will inevitably be some film and television dramas that are more suitable for female audiences, whether it is entertainment There will be more and more movies of nature or realistic movies, which cannot be ignored.

Recently I read some foreign reports about women. The total output value of the global forwarding industry reached 7 billion US dollars seven years ago. In India alone, there are more than 60 clinics specializing in this industry. A new industry of medical tourism emerged.

This is a common social phenomenon all over the world, apart from prostitution, the closest ugly thing to women, this is a very good critical theme, about women's reality films..."

While Cheng Kaige was talking, he still had an inspiration.

Regarding female audiences, of course Cheng Kaige won't go back to shoot male and male cp, realistic themes are things he is very good at.

It got further and further away, but Li Qian and the others still didn't interrupt, and waited patiently for the old man to finish first.

However, Zhang Yimou has a different view.

"Movies about women, not only these, I think the most important thing is to show women's oriental beauty..."

Good guy, Zhang Yimou started debating with Cheng Kaige.

One criticizes real events about women, and the other pays attention to expressing the oriental beauty of women.

It is also different from the role of women in their works. Zhang Yimou used Gong Li before, and what she represented in the movie was the women of that era, the unique oriental beauty.

This beauty is not the appearance, but the heart.

The topic of women used to be the theme of each of Zhang Yimou's films, and it was the common theme of his films—in fact, it should be called the motif.

In Zhang Yimou's films, women are always the first to be present.

In "Raise the Red Lantern", the master who is an invisible symbol of power is always just an illusion, unable to reveal his true face. The absence of the male protagonist's vision is only used as a voice-over, as a back and profile. In the story, the male protagonist is an invisible image of.

In Zhang Yimou's films, women all appear as fearless images.

Every character is full of rebellious spirit, whether it is Song Lian, Jiu Er, Ju Dou, Qiu Ju, they all appear in a posture of refusal from the world, and when they appear on the stage, they are forced to be full of suffering. background, a temperament suppressed by force.

A movie is a history of a woman's resistance, through her own efforts and struggles, to complete self-salvation.

In fact, this is very suitable for modern women, but there is a little difference. Those female characters are more or less "ignorant" in their meaninglessness.

This ignorance is not a derogatory term, but a limitation of the general environment.

Two directors with different interpretations of female roles, both master directors, began to debate how to present female characters in this era.

Li Qian was speechless, he wanted to talk about another popular movie "Zhu Xian" in the Lunar New Year file.

The leading actor in "Magic City Fortress" is actually no longer the top-ranking status of previous years. In comparison, the leading actor in "Zhu Xian" is the biggest top-ranking in the entertainment market today.

In addition, the other three heroines who were born as idols also have countless fans. Although only one of them is considered top traffic, the other two still have many fans by taking advantage of the residual heat of "Creation 010".

Add up to two and a half top streams, and female fans account for the majority. Regardless of the quality of "Zhu Xian" in the Lunar New Year file, it will perform much better than "Magic City Fortress".

This has nothing to do with quality, because the data feedback from the ticketing platform clearly shows that female audiences generally have lower requirements for movies.

As far as movies of the male and female genre are concerned, the proportion of negative reviews given by female audiences is far lower than that of male audiences, and even many movies are only half of male audiences.

As long as it is not a type that is not suitable for female audiences, most female audiences have a high degree of acceptance, and the requirements are not very high.

"Zhu Xian" is a romance novel, which is undoubtedly very suitable for female audiences.

Chapter 559 "Zhu Xian"

"After talking for more than half an hour, the elderly are really energetic."

After the meeting adjourned, Zhang Yimou and the others were sent away, and Li Qian left Ning Hao and the others to discuss business.

"The limitations of the times are too obvious, especially after decades of generation gap, thinking is still stuck in the past, the two of them will only rush to death in these two directions, and female audiences will not buy it."

"Zhang Yimou's idea is not bad. Showing the inner strength of women is just in line with the general direction of the Internet now." Ning Hao said.

Li Qian shook his head, "His filming method is nothing more than how miserable the heroine is, and then succeeds through his own perseverance. Female audiences don't want to see such a miserable heroine, look at these big-selling In the movie, is there a protagonist who has a bad start?"

Xu Zheng wondered, "Isn't Cheng Yong?"

"It's miserable. Half of the people in the country are living in dire straits." Li Qian said.

"Isn't that miserable?"

Xu Zheng has a deep understanding of the role he plays. He is middle-aged and poor, his wife is divorced, and his father is sick and needs surgery.

Li Qian smiled, "You feel miserable, that's compared to you. In fact, Cheng Yong's life is already better than that of many ordinary people. The timeline in the movie is the beginning of the century, and he opened a store in Shanghai. There is a computer in the store, and the mobile phone used is Motorola v998. The price of this mobile phone seems to be seven to eight thousand. With this configuration, he was also a rich man in his early years, otherwise there would be no smuggling channel in India.

Moreover, the ex-wife seems to have a certain level of culture and self-cultivation, and her looks, figure, and temperament are also above average, and her background should not be bad. If you can marry this kind of wife, Cheng Yong's appearance will not be ordinary, at least she has some strengths. Even if you are poor, you can still pay for your father's nursing home and buy clothes for your son. "

"It makes sense, it's much better than ordinary people."

Xu Zheng nodded. Even when he was filming, he viewed Cheng Yong as a low-level figure struggling to survive.
