Chapter 1144 Vulgarity and Art (2)
"After talking about Xiangjiang, let's talk about Treasure Island."
When they digested a little of their own words, Yin Jun raised another topic.
A group of students, including Chen Daomin, Chen Baogui, who had already started work, immediately looked at him with admiration.
He is worthy of being Jun Shao, so awesome!
The word "Taodao" is still a taboo in the mainland, but unexpectedly Yin Jun said it like eating and drinking water, and he also had to discuss with them the movies and TV series of "Taodao".
Obviously, young people all look the same, they are a bit rebellious. The more you tell them not to do anything, the more they will want to try.
Although there is no discussion on Baodao on weekdays, they always think about the affairs of Baodao, thinking about how it is, how the compatriots on the other side of the strait are living, and what kind of life they will have.
Of course, they are not ignorant. In fact, many artists from Treasure Island have quietly switched to other places and visited China.
There are also artists who have gone overseas. When they meet people who have passed by the treasure island, they will also chat and bring the news back to China.
These students in film and television schools are naturally the first group of people receiving information, but they only understand a little vaguely and cannot be considered clear at all.
Now that Yin Jun wants to have a serious chat with them, they are of course very interested.
"The literary and artistic model of Baodao may be more in line with your concepts." Yin Jun said, "I have seen many TV series and movies in Baodao, and perhaps because of the overall style, they are a bit soft... To put it bluntly, life is more literary and artistic. The same is true for their attitude towards film and television culture, and they pursue art.
After that...well, at most three or five years later, you will be able to see books, TV series and movies written by a group of creators in Baodao one after another. Compared with Xiangjiang's commercial art, they prefer to analyze people's hearts, dig deep into some deep art, and discuss various spiritual things.
There are many such movies and TV series in Baodao, and I also admire some of them. But unfortunately, such movies and TV series are not popular in Baodao, except for the stories about love written by Miss Qiongyao, so Baodao's movies and TV series market is actually occupied by Xiangjiang's works.
Maybe you are going to ask now, why is this? Why is every literary and artistic film, which explores human hearts and human nature, and discloses ugliness and praises beautiful movies and TV series, which can't stand those commercial movies and TV series that laugh and play? Is art like this so there is no way out? Is it destined to be defeated by vulgarity?"
These are exactly what this group of students or new literary and artistic workers want to ask, and they are confused in their hearts.
"In fact, this is not the case. Vulgarity and art are not very clear." Yin Jun said, "Let's give an example... Well, let's talk about "Shaolin Temple" again! In the eyes of literary and artistic workers, this story is purely a random fabrication. There are no monks from Shaolin Temple at all, and such things have never happened in history. The so-called martial arts and other things are all about random talk, and there is no meaning at all. It is actually a kitsch!
But what about the people's eyes? "Shaolin Temple" is good! It's so good! The son of a good man practiced martial arts in Shaolin Temple and finally avenged his father through his own efforts. Justice finally defeated evil, and human relations were finally maintained! In addition, the wonderful fight scenes made people feel excited, which is even better!"
After a pause, Yin Jun looked at them, "If the people say that movies like "Shaolin Temple" actually express art to them, show art, and convey a series of meanings. Then you have to transform the artistic understanding of literary and artistic workers into the common people's, so that they must agree with your views. If they don't agree with it, it is vulgar, all vulgar. Isn't this a bit too much?
In everyone's heart, they have their own standards. It's like you all. If you think it is a classic film, if the people don't think it is, then art is not art? No! So what is art and what is vulgarity are all different from person to person. Different personal opinions represent different standards, so the definitions of vulgarity and art are naturally different.
Some artists will feel that they are too arrogant and have no choice but to understand the art they shoot! But you don’t want to think about it. This is just the art you think. Why do others identify with the art you think? If you make movies and TV series, you think that it’s great to meet your own artistic standards. Why should you follow others’ recognition of your art?
If you want to impress others, that's fine. If you take pictures of the art in others' hearts, wouldn't that standard be recognized and praised by them? So you can see that some people look down on ordinary people and want to force ordinary people to identify with themselves. If they don't agree with themselves, they are vulgar people. This is not called artists, but delusional people!
It’s the original words that Mr. Zhou had at the 61st Arts and Arts Symposium. People like to hear it. If you don’t like it, do you think you are the old man?... Right? This is the reason! Art serves life and serves the people who watch art. If you play with it, no one will care about you. However, when you take pictures of things that the people don’t like to see, they still scold the people for not knowing the goods. Should we also ask such a person, do you think you are the old man?”
Yin Jun said something so sharply, which made the people present breathe and their faces change constantly.
They never thought that someone could analyze the matter of art so thoroughly and bluntly.
Perhaps many of them do not agree with Yin Jun’s words, but there are too many contents and too many impacts, which make them refreshing and even a wake-up call.
They didn't dare to look down on Yin Jun at all, but in fact they all respect Yin Jun and were able to achieve such great achievements.
Now, their admiration for Yin Jun has come from their eyes to their hearts.
In their impression, the person who can make such a cry should be an old professor with gray hair, rather than a young man younger than them.
genius……
The name of genius is indeed well-deserved and admirable!
"Some literary and artistic workers on Baodao are in the state I mentioned now. But they don't look for their own reasons, but vent on the audience. But the audience doesn't pay attention to them. The audience votes with their senses and feelings. That's why our movies and TV series in Xiangjiang have been recognized by them." Yin Jun said, "There is no such situation in China now, but you can wait and see. It won't take many years for artists like what I said to be one by one."
"Is this kind of person really not good?" Chen Baogui suddenly asked.
"We can't simply say whether they are good or not, but whether their behavior is practical, whether it is useful to the people and art." Yin Jun said, "I am still the same point of view as before. If you only want to express your wishes and pursuits, then you can shoot the works you like, that's enough. You have to impose your will on others, and if you don't get the recognition of others, you will scold people. What's the point? If you want to get the recognition of others, then you can shoot what they like! Let the people be happy about it, that is definitely not kitsch, but the duty of an art creator! If you only know how to curse and only talk about art, I look down on such people."
Nodded, Chen Baogui felt thoughtful.
After looking at everyone whose face had become a little solemn, Yin Jun smiled, "Okay, finally I'll talk to you about the United States and the United States! You all know that I bought two film companies in the United States and have some understanding of the art of American movies and TV series."
Compared with the taboo treasure island, the United States is a paradise in the eyes of Chinese people now.
Countless people have given up their good jobs and have a good future, and have rushed to the United States. They think that there is a fairyland on earth, with gold everywhere, with everything they want.
Fortunately, many celebrities who have become famous in recent years have not been nostalgic for their star status and have followed the tide to go abroad.
So when Yin Jun talks about the United States and the United States, they all lit up their eyes and temporarily put aside their doubts.
"Compared with the over-commercialization of Hong Kong, the American art mechanism is actually quite complete." Yin Jun said, "Dears ago, they were able to create artistic classics like "Gone with the Wind" and "Broken Souls" and also produce commercial blockbusters like "Superman", "Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
"And your ".", which is also a classic that coexists art and business!" Lu Liping shouted boldly.
Yin Jun smiled, "Thank you. I think I can do better in the future."
Everyone laughed, and with this little episode, the atmosphere became more relaxed.
"In the United States, art films cannot be said to be niche. For example, movies like "Gone with the Wind" and "Broken Souls" can also achieve box office success. This is what Lu said about art and business coexistence, which can be considered a fame and fortune!" Yin Jun said, "Maybe some students will ask, are you saying that art and vulgarity are two aspects of the same thing? Why do ordinary people in the United States work so well with their artists to understand their art?
This matter has to be divided into three aspects. First, Americans do not appreciate all art films. Many American art films have not had such good box office results, just because the directors do not understand the needs of the people of the country; second, those art films with good box offices have very good balances with the art and people's simplest feelings, so they succeed, but there are very few such films, so they seem to be precious.
The third and most important point is that the American people have already passed the stage of food and clothing and entered a higher level of pursuit, so their understanding of art is completely different from that of the people in China. Therefore, when a level one or two higher than that of the people who can understand it, it just fits their level, which resonates with it."
"I understand, this is what you said. Art and vulgarity vary from person to person! Americans have high quality, so they can understand more. Our quality is low, so they can understand less." Jiang Wen clapped his hands and said excitedly.
A group of people stared at him speechlessly.
You guys understand these principles, don’t tell them, okay, it hurts so much!?
