We all affectionately call Jia Zhangke Chief Jia. The origin of the title "Chief Jia" comes from his film notes "Jia Xiang". In "Jia Xiang", there is a paragraph describing Jia Zhangke going to the hawker to buy However, he accidentally bought a pirated copy of his own "Platform". The hawker said it was "Platform" by "Chief Jia". Jia Zhangke was angry and relieved to know that his movie was pirated.
Since then, the title of Section Chief Jia has been used by everyone. When Section Chief Jia was in the film academy, he studied literature, so his writing was very good. Let everyone feel that if Chief Jia did not make movies , it is also very remarkable to do literary estimation:
——“Unfamiliar places will always bring me a spiritual journey: back to the past, to the future. Sinking into the center of the earth, or flying into space.
A short exodus will make me say goodbye to my own life. Leave familiar friends, leave topics that have been talked about for many years, leave your profession, leave your own spiritual system...
Running away is an opportunity for self-rebellion, letting oneself flow, levitate, upside down, and let oneself subvert oneself. "—
Chief Jia’s words are in the same line as his films. Chief Jia is one of the few directors in China who insists on expressing his own style independently. It is precisely this kind of expression that tells about the marginal characters in the Chinese era, most of whom are silent for the sake of A cry of dignity.
Therefore, Jia Zhangke's films have won many awards internationally. Although Jia Zhangke's films are not widely released in China, the box office is a drop in the bucket for commercial films, but their reputation and popularity are very good.
This time, "Children of Jianghu" appeared in Cannes, and the judges rated it in a relatively high position. At that time, everyone watched the group standing and applauded for 5 minutes. Although they failed to win the award in the end, it also proved once again that Chief Jia's film has divergent views. Temperament carries the dignity and spirit of the vast majority of people in the country.
Many people say that a director only makes one movie in his life. Although Da Cong thinks that this cannot be applied to all directors, it is completely incompatible with Chief Jia.
Jia Kechang's films always depict the inner state of the characters, accompanied by thinking about the development of the domestic era. This kind of thinking is cruel and compassionate, but only in this way can the audience think deeply and deeply about the imprint of China's great era. precise.
If you really want to see the details of "Children of Jianghu", you must at least watch Chief Jia's previous films, especially "Ren Xiaoyao", "The Good Man in the Three Gorges", and "Destined".
After watching "Ren Xiaoyao", you will find that the Qiaoqiao of "Ren Xiaoyao" is the same as the "Ren Xiaoyao" in terms of hairstyle and clothing, but the characters are reversed.
Qiaoqiao in "Ren Xiaoyao" wanted to be the woman of the eldest brother, but Qiaoqiao in "The Children of the Rivers and Lakes" became the woman of the eldest brother, but she wanted a life as peaceful as water, and fate was given to these two characters, completely different people. Set the background.
But this is where Jia Kechang's skill is deep. Although "Ren Xiaoyao" and "Jianghu Children" are both clever and the characters are set in the opposite direction, they have a nearly similar fate, that is, the deep love did not respond.
No matter which one is Qiao Qiao, in the end, he failed to love the people he identified for a lifetime. Chief Jia put such a deeply affectionate character under the torrent of the times, which showed the character's sense of fate.
The Qiao Qiao of "Ren Xiaoyao" and "Children of Jianghu", no matter how different the characters are at the beginning, in the end, they all share the same love for their children, so Kechang Jia used a seemingly coincidental method to combine the two. Bit Qiaoqiao's clothing and hairstyle are locked together.
Clothes and hairstyles, as the external decoration of characters, are also the most representative of the era in which people live. This also shows that most people in that era and city have the same imprint and fate, no matter how different they are at the beginning, But in the end, they may all converge to a dark point, and they can't stand up.
Therefore, in the second half of "Children of Jianghu", I went to the Three Gorges to find Guo Bin, and then joined the heroine Shen Hong in "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" by Section Chief Jia.
In the plot of "The Good Man in Three Gorges", one of the lines tells that Shen Hong went to Fengjie in the Three Gorges to find her husband Guo Bin, who had left without saying goodbye for two years.
Da Cong likes "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" very much. So far, he still thinks that this is the most mellow image of all beings in the Three Gorges era, and after the precipitation of time, "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" will be more and more worthy of the Chinese people's aftertaste and thinking.
Shen Hong's experience of looking for her husband in "The Good Man in Three Gorges" is similar to that of "Children of Jianghu" who happened to come to Three Gorges to find Guo Bin, and the clothes and hairstyles are exactly the same.
The operation of Section Chief Jia wants to deepen the sense of fate of the characters through several movies, and at the same time, it also deepens the annotation of the word "Jianghu".
Many people continue to use "where there are people, there are rivers and lakes". This sentence comes from Cheng Xiaodong's "The Invincible Swordsman in the East", although Kechang Jia's "Destined" and "Children of Jianghu" also have martial arts temperament.
But Da Cong believes that Jia Kechang's Jianghu is about the sea of life in the context of the times, and it is also the story of the marginal figures in the Chinese tide that we are familiar with and unfamiliar with. These stories contain people's roots, dignity, confusion, depression, Find yourself.
Guo Bin, played by Liao Fan in "Children of the Jianghu", can even be compared to Guo Bin's first half of his life in "The Good Man of the Three Gorges". Although the two characters are very different, their final destiny has a kind of "I have not been a big brother for many years". lonely.
Guo Bin is a representative of failure in the transitional Chinese wave. He does what he loses in doing business. Seeing that his younger brothers are prosperous one by one, he is useless. Such examples are not rare in China, and they are even more and more serious today.
In today's Internet era, many entrepreneurs in the pre-APP era died in the deep sea before they landed on the beach. Now, how many people have to choose to give up before reading four figures in the self-media content business.
This is the best era, and it is also the worst era. Everyone sees the bright characters in the good era, but some people and things in the bad era should also appear in the movie, because such a society is real. That's what people remember.
The key word for time-locking in Kechang Jia's films is music. In "Jia Xiang", Kechang Jia talked about it. He likes to feel the sound that should have in that era, whether it is the sound of street hawking or the sound of TV commercials. Iconic news, music that everyone listened to at the time, etc., these have obvious symbols of the times.
Therefore, the film soundtrack in Section Chief Jia brings out the memory of a generation. In "Children of Jianghu", "Small Drunk Life", "Men Be Self-improvement", "YMCA", "How Much Love Can Come Again", "Shanghai Beach", etc., some are tender, some are heroic, some are Western style.
These songs are mixed in a movie, just like millennium China, all kinds of new things from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are quickly pouring into China's third- and fourth-tier cities, and they are also recorded in the form of music in "Children of Jianghu".
The acting skills of Zhao Tao, Liao Fan, Xu Zheng and others in the film are not to be mentioned. They are all in the best state to present the living beings under Chief Jia's guide, especially Zhao Tao, who is Chief Jia. 's wife has been fully integrated into Chief Jia's films.
Surrounded by many commercial films today, it is the pleasure brought by big narrative events. Of course, such films can bring more emotions and joy. We need such commercial films.
But we can't give up the precipitation on the soil of the movie. That precipitation needs to bloom flowers that belong to the shadow of our people. We need directors like Kechang Jia to record most of the time stamps for us.
In the end, Da Cong will end with a passage from Section Chief Jia in "Jia Xiang":
——“I want to use movies to care about ordinary people, first of all to respect the worldly life. In the slow flow of time, I feel the joy or heaviness of every ordinary life. “Life is like a long quiet river”, let us experience it .”—
