When you just travel around the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and don’t go ashore to see the bottom people living there, you will never understand the mountains and rivers here... This was made by Director Jia. Original intention. However, when you walk into their life circle, you will be confused again. They are busy with their livelihoods, and they have no time to take into account the curiosity of the crew that should have aroused. They just ask again and again: do you want to stay? Do you want to eat? Want a car? ……Jia Zhangke used his own personal experience to touch and record the scenes of reality, to show the vitality and dignity of the Three Gorges people, and to look for the long forgotten souls! "Sometimes people are an ethnic group that is good at forgetting. We forget too easily, so we need movies." --Jia Zhangke To be honest, the first time I saw Jia Zhangke's movie was this golden lion work. Last year was Brokeback Mountain. One thing is the same, the directors use the most delicate style to portray the most real emotions and reality! This is also the reason why the two movies can bring me lasting shock and moving after the end. Today’s movie is very worthwhile. I saw a good movie, met a good director, listened to a good speech, and was fortunate enough to watch the golden Venice Golden Lion trophy with my own eyes. The most exciting thing is to be able to go home with Director Jia’s "White Rabbit" toffee on the way home... At the end of the film, with the questions during the filming, they will be answered one by one at the director’s meeting... 1. English name Still Which of Life and the Chinese title "The Good Man in Three Gorges" can better convey and interpret the theme of the film? Perhaps the former conveys the spiritual realm of the film more directly. The Three Gorges Project is great, but it has caused more people to live without a fixed place, wandering and drifting~ 2. What are the explanations for the surreal scenes in the film? Director Jia said: One day when I went to the riverside to see the scenery by myself, there were dark clouds and thunder and lightning. Because the Three Gorges has been clouded and rainy since ancient times in Wushan Mountain, there are so many myths and legends. I think the weather in that place is very mysterious. I am a northerner and cannot swim. I was scared. I thought there would be an alien looking at me, so I drew a flying saucer in the movie. I think when we arrive in Fengjie, we will really feel that there is a strong surreal atmosphere in reality. The whole building is demolished in seven days as a unit, basically five floors and six floors. We shoot desperately and race against the disappearing city. , I think it is very surreal, I think it is an atmosphere today. Perhaps this kind of surreal lens gives his movie style a sense of detachment, the kind of suddenness that has gone through the vicissitudes of life! 3. What are the meanings of the "smoke", "wine", "tea" and "sugar" flashing in the film? The kinds of substances that Chinese people rely on the most, because the director was born in the 70s. He knew that the things that sustain people in the planned economy era are very simple, that is, tobacco, alcohol, tea and sugar. People in the marginal areas can celebrate the New Year with these things, and they can feel it. Happiness, this is how we are looking for our own happiness, just because of this kind of still life, with four paragraphs, tobacco, alcohol, tea and sugar. 4. Why did the old landlord say: "I still have a few boyfriends!" In fact, he was talking about "bad friends"... Khan! It is that his circle of friends is very wide and mixed. This film was shot in Fengjie County, Chongqing, and the whole film is basically Chongqing dialect! 5. Does it mean to compete for the box office when it is released on the same day as "Golden A" on the 14th of this month? Director Jia's answer is: I think at least we should make a point, that is, there should not be only one kind of movie on the screen! "Three" will be screened on the 7th and will be screened on the 14th. What we are optimistic about is only the seven-day screening on the 7-14. The two films are not comparable and cannot compete for the box office. Then please allow us to die. After hearing the director's words, "Golden Armor" seems to be worthless in our eyes. However, how many people can really love and accept a good movie like "Three Gorges"? Most of those present today are from Peking University, and they are only "minority representatives." This is the reality in China. In the age of material desire and "golden" worship, I hope that more "good people" will come to see Director Jia's "Good People"! 6. The last sentence with emotion: "Brother Xiaoma" is so cool!
