Chapter 225 Don’t join the private goods

After arriving in Taiwan, Rong Guang accepted the invitation and had a gathering with Hou Hsiao-hsien, Yang Deshang and others.

At the party, several people had discussions about film creation, but the chatter was more about gossip in the industry. Don't think of film directors as too mysterious. In life, they are also ordinary people.

This is actually like a gathering of a group of university professors. The most talked about topic is nothing more than - whose child has passed the college entrance examination? My family is guilty of the second grade again... Such parents are cunning. Who can hold professional discussions all day long?

However, in the chat, we also talked about the depression of the film market. In fact, these Taiwanese new wave masters also began to reflect, so later on, several of them made fine adjustments.

It is impossible to completely change. The creative ideas of these people have already been formed. They only make new wave art films.

But they also began to accept commercial elements. Yang Deshang began to direct the animated film "Chasing the Wind" based on Cheng Long. After Hou Hsiao-hsien became the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards, he also carried out drastic reforms.

However, this year’s Golden Horse Awards are still dominated by art films.

For example, "Shaolin Soccer", which swept the Academy Awards, only won two minor awards: Best Editing and Best Visual Effects, and the others were not even nominated.

The Best Actress winner is Qin Hailu, from "Durian". The best actor appeared in "Double Yolk Egg", "Lan Yu" starring Liu Ye, and Wang Zhiwen in "Sparks". It must be said that the 96 star class made a stunning appearance. Let

This year’s Golden Horse Awards has become a class reunion.

The winner of the Best Director was Kwan Kam-peng, also from "Lan Yu". In addition to the Best Actor, "Sparks" also won the two awards of Best Picture and Best Original Music.

It is worth mentioning that Pu Shu's "Ordinary Road" became very popular as soon as it was released. It has now become one of the hottest songs in Chinese pop music.



Xu Jinglei did not attend the Golden Horse Awards this time. She is busy filming "Juno" and hopes to catch up with next year's Berlin Film Festival.

At next year's Cannes Film Festival, there will also be a monster movie - "A Beautiful Mind". Especially the political correctness in it will impress the European and American judges. Others should just go to sleep! It is simply impossible to win the award.

Therefore, under Rong Guang's suggestion, "Juno" is preparing to participate in the Berlin Film Festival. The characteristics of the Berlin Film Festival are that it prefers such political and social themes. So the possibility is slightly higher.

Since Wang Zhiwen won the Best Actor at Cannes, he has also been praised. This time he won the Golden Horse Best Actor, which has reached the peak of his career. Zhou Xun also attended the Golden Horse Awards. But she was mainly for commercial activities. Since "Sparks"

After winning the Palme d'Or, these leading actors have gained a lot of endorsements.

Even though the little follower and Aunt Zhou didn't get along, they still made a lot of noise whenever they met. It almost made Wang Zhiwen laugh to death.

Rong Guang also has his own promotional activities. A TV station in Taiwan took a fancy to "The Doctor" and planned to introduce this TV series. As the starring role of "The Doctor", Rong Guang was invited to participate in the TV station's variety show.

"Director Rong, hello."

"Brother Wu, you're welcome. Call me Guangzi."

"This is the interview outline. You should read it first. Photon, do you have any taboo questions?"

"No, no. Just don't ask those very sensitive questions."

"Of course not. You don't have any scandals or anything? Haha."

"Really not."

"Then you have to be careful, I will ask very explosive questions?"

"no problem,"

"..."

The host of the variety show is Wu Zongxian. Everyone should be familiar with this famous host in Taiwan. However, Wu Zongxian has a high seniority and great influence in Taiwan, so he must be given the necessary respect.

This is Rong Guang's first time on a live TV show. At the beginning of the show, Wu Zongxian asked some routine questions, and Rong Guang answered them one by one. It was nothing more than some famous experiences, such as his career in Beijing.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost warmed up, Wu Zongxian finally entered the stage of drama: "Guangzi, did you decide to withdraw from future awards, did you receive some kind of external pressure?"

Rong Guang smiled slightly, and the question seemed a bit malicious: "Brother Wu, first of all, I want to correct you. I am not completely quitting award-winning films, but mainly creating commercial films. If there are excellent art films by other directors and they invite me to star, I will still

Very happy. Secondly, I am quitting temporarily. Maybe a few decades later, I will still create art films."

"Is there really no other reason?" Wu Zongxian was determined to make big news.

Rong Guang smiled and said: "If there are other reasons, there is one. Brother Wu, look at my age, I am only in my early twenties. How much experience do I have? Can I constantly explore social themes? So at least after the age of 40!

When it really settles down, your life experience will be richer."

Amidst the applause of the audience, Wu Zongxian laughed exaggeratedly and said: "Wow! Your critical realism themes are highly praised by European and American film masters? Do you still feel that your life experience is not enough?"

"Haha. In fact, there is something ridiculous here." Rong Guang smiled and waved his hand, "If you look at my works carefully, you will find that I am an observer and try to describe social issues objectively. As for how to dig deeper? Or

How to solve it? I don’t know either?”

Amidst the laughter, Wu Zongxian said with a smile: "Guangzi, are you a little too modest?"

"It's really not modest." Rong Guang smiled and said seriously, "Actually, we filmmakers, including public figures like you and me, often have some kind of illusion after the audience gives us applause and honor - I have social influence.

, I know more than you, so I want to educate you! This is wrong!"

"Really? Can you tell me in detail?" Wu Zongxian became interested immediately.

"Let's use an analogy: We support the feminist movement and make the entire society equal to men and women. Is this a good thing? But you and I are both men and don't understand women's thoughts at all. If we preach according to our understanding, it will be very

Deviations may occur. This can turn a good thing into a bad thing.”

"Then do you think we men shouldn't support equality between men and women?"

"Of course not. What I mean is that what we public figures need most is to examine ourselves and use our social influence very carefully. For example, as mentioned before about gender equality, we can photograph unequal social phenomena. Faithfully

Record it. But try to avoid adding private goods..."

"smuggled goods?"
