As an actor, some people compare him to China's Marlon Brando, and as a director, some people say that he is China's Kubrick. In my opinion, it is not impossible to remove "Chinese". As early as 1994, Jiang Wen's directorial debut "Sunny Days" has been a great success. It not only won the grand prize in Venice, but was named the top ten best films of the year by "Time" Weekly, and was also the domestic box office champion in 1995. . After making such a well-received and box-office film, Jiang Wen can be said to have won the first battle.
In 2000, Jiang Wen's "The Devil Has Come" made him famous again in Cannes. Although for various reasons, "The Devil Is Coming" has not been approved for public release in China, this does not prevent this film with both fun, thought and artistic temperament from becoming a classic handed down.
But in 2007, Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" not only failed in the awards, but also received mixed praise and praise in the critics. How did the director make such a bad movie!"
In 2009, Jiang Wen's bullet flew out of the sky, known as Jiang Wen's first commercial blockbuster, and all sides were shocked for a while, and many first-line movie stars such as Chow Yun-fat, Ge You, Carina Lau, and Chen Kun were included. All kinds of media are even more enthusiastic, big newspapers and tabloids come one after another... Jiang Wen's movie era seems to have come.
Having said so much, how far can Jiang Wen's bullet fly?
Recently, it has been discovered that the domestic media is very "schadenfreude", not talking about the success of Jiang Wen's first two films, but always talking about "The Sun Also Rises", well, it's up to you! Then I'll start with the most difficult "The Sun Also Rises". The success of "The Sun" in terms of "hardware" such as picture, music, editing, and actor performance is obvious. I don't think it needs to be explained. Of course, I don't have this professional level. The reason why "The Sun" was scolded was based on the scolding arguments "What story does "The Sun" tell about TMD", "What Jiang Wen TMD wants to express", in short, "It's not good if I don't understand it."
I remember Acheng said, "Watching Jiang Wen's movies is like treating Jiang Wen's guests to dinner, and the dishes served on the table from start to finish are all big pieces of meat" (roughly this means). I think this metaphor is just right here. Jiang Wen invited us to eat all the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. Unfortunately, some people's stomachs can't digest it. Instead of buying a box of Starshine to treat their stomachs, they say that the food is not good. Isn't this a joke! It also happens that the current trend is to eat radish and cabbage - healthy! ! ! From this, we can also verify some of what Zhou Guoping said: "TV entertainment will gradually degenerate people's thinking ability." According to Wang Shuo, "entertainment is to take things out of people's hearts, and art is to put things in their hearts." It is also appropriate. Why many people would rather read unnutritious online novels (most novels are like this), but not read the classic "Dream of Red Mansions", is not a reason.
Therefore, with the lessons of "The Sun", Jiang Wen will understand: it turns out that radish and cabbage are king. Since you can eat all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, will radish and cabbage be without you! But according to Jiang Wen's personality, the table full of radishes and cabbage can't come out after all. Jiang Wen is smart, I believe that Jiang Wen can come up with a table of good dishes that are easy to digest and nutritious!
But what kind of dishes Jiang Wen will bring out after all, we don't know. How far can a bullet fly? let us wait and see! !
