this year concluded the Hundred Flowers Award, "Assembly" won the best film award, director Feng Xiaogang won the best director award. The two most important awards have all fallen into the "Assembly Number". Together with the unprecedented grand occasion, it is close to the excitement of the Olympic Games. It seems to be a great victory for the reform and opening up in literature and art. Kang Jianmin, executive vice chairman of the Chinese Film Association, said that the list of award winners is basically representative of China’s outstanding films in the past two years. Indeed, the credibility of this award is constantly improving. The awards selected are representative of our country’s films in the past two years. The achievements in creation are representative.
Pang Dao has long realized that China's literary and artistic circles have fallen, and there is no sense of social responsibility, but he did not expect to be so shameless and able to achieve collective degradation.
The "Assembly Number" "represents the achievements of our country's film creation in the past two years" is not a nonsense, because a lot of "achievements" have indeed occurred in China in the past two years. It is suspected that Dong Cunrui really held the explosives bag in the past two years, the value of mocking Liu Hulan’s justice occurred in the past two years, and the authenticity of Dong Cunrui’s deeds occurred in the past two years. The incident of Shanghai revising the history textbook and canceling the history of revolution happened here. In the past two years, the work of a traitorous female Maitai anti-Japanese warrior was put on the screen. In the past two years, there has been an escalation of public opinion and propaganda wars that have "proclaimed" Mao Zedong's 100 million yuan manuscript fee one after another. It is precisely in the past two years that waves of denying the nature and value of the Chinese revolution and the justice of the Chinese against imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism have risen one after another. In the past ten years, the struggle of continuously vilifying and denying the legitimacy of the Communist Party in power before the reform has been carried to a new height and has begun to completely shake the legitimacy of the Communist Party to obtain power. The culmination of this anti-communist movement was the production and screening of "Assembly Number" and "Lust Caution" last year.
In fact, since "Lust Caution" won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, Pang Dao estimated that "Assembly Number" would win the Hundred Flower Award. Although "Lust Caution" was criticized by many people after it won the award, and finally had to be suspended, because it was also criticized by netizens at the same time as "Assembly Number", if the name cannot be corrected through the Hundred Flowers Award, the leaders of the Radio and Television Bureau will face "questions." Responsibility” issue. As long as "Assembly Number" is "recognized" by "2.6 million" fans and 101 judges, there will be no problem with the work, and the problem of "Lust Caution" will be diminished.
The movie "Assembly Number" will of course be "successful" because the screenwriter first made up a plot that was completely incompatible with the logic of war, so that audiences who were not familiar with war were kept in the dark, thus making them excited, angry, and associative. The plot is "After the large troops retreat, they will send people back to blow the assembly number and give the retreat order." In the end, the superior didn't blow the assembly call, so it seemed that the superior was very shameless, very selfish, and very... Then there is the phrase in the Spring Festival text message, "I saw the assembly number-the organization is not credible". If there is no such plot, the whole plot cannot be carried out at all, and the intensity of the contradiction expressed in the script will drop a lot. Even if this plot is fabricated, most people will not pay attention, thinking it is an artistic creation, at best it is a bit exaggerated. This is the ingenuity of this movie, and it is also a reflection of the cleverness of the Chinese elite.
When deploying small troops to block missions, the main force sending people back to issue retreat orders is simply not in line with the "real life". The reason is simple. The commander knows how long it will take for the main force to transfer. Therefore, all similar commands are "block 4 hours" or "block until dark". The reason why there is no need to send people back to give orders is because if the main force reaches the predetermined position, sending people back to give orders equals double the time; second, there are many chances in the battlefield. What if the person sent back to give the order encounters an accident midway? .
Did Director Feng choose a faulty script because he doesn't understand war? If Director Feng says this, it is called "pretending to be tender"! People who have never fought because of this principle can also figure it out. If such an order appears on the battlefield, the subordinates who have passed through the battlefield must think that the superior is trying to "eliminate the dissidents", because no other reason can explain how this happened. Only Chiang Kai-shek issued a similar order. But Director Feng prefers to fabricate it this way, because if the regiment commander gave the "5 hours to block" order, the blocking forces did not retreat due to other reasons, and the following contradictions would not be able to unfold, and the focus of the following "organization" is to show the despicableness, Prevarication and bureaucracy rely on this contradiction to agitate.
Is it because Director Feng was influenced by Hong Kong's nonsensical films, and therefore has a new understanding of "artistic reality"? If Director Feng explains this way, it is also called pretending to be Nen. Because all nonsensical movies are not drama but farce. There is no drama that seems to be a big theme or scene, and the core plot is the nonsense in the farce movie. The artistic reality of the drama must conform to the reality of life. Director Feng has heard of it in any film theory.
Perhaps, most of the 2.6 million movie fans did not see this, because they were originally "tender" and would only be shocked by the scene. Moreover, 101 judges were selected from among the fans, and it was organized in this way just to "can't see it." But people in the Chinese literary and art circles should be able to see it, because they are learning this. But they don't think so-they choose to "pretend to be tender."
The two Hundred Flower Awards given to the "Assembly Number" are the summative evaluation of the Chinese literature and art circles on the ugly Chinese revolution in the past two years. It is also a representative work of the collective degeneration of the Chinese literary and artistic circles.
There is only one criterion for evaluating the level of the literary and artistic circles in a period, which is whether there are works of art that reflect the social outlook, especially the essential characteristics of the works of the period. The most important thing is what kind of works the collective is admiring and despising. What kind of work. The Hundred Flowers Award, to put it bluntly, is to show the leading literary and art leaders and the collective value orientation of the literary and art circles during this period.
What period is China in? What are the characteristics of society? Where do the basic social contradictions appear? Each has its own opinions.
Look at it this way: China is in a period of highly developed liberal capitalist economy. This period is very close to some countries in the early stages of industrialization in the West, such as Britain in the early 19th century, France in the mid-19th century, Germany and the United States at the end of the 19th century. The characteristics of the society of these countries during this period are: rapid economic development, a large amount of material wealth has been created; the polarization between the rich and the poor in the society has intensified, and the society has been torn into two living in two completely isolated worlds, ignorant and mutually exclusive. Two groups that do not understand. Affluent groups spend time and drink and have ridiculous lust, and poor groups feel increasingly helpless and desperate; social morality is more and more prominent, and there is less and less tenderness and mutual help. Western industrialized countries did not change until after the 1930s, when Keynesianism and democratic socialism prevailed to replace the free market economy and the middle class occupied the main body of society.
As long as you observe China objectively, you will find that China is very close to the aforementioned countries in many respects. Many people, even rightists, can hardly deny this basic state. The difference between everyone is: the rightists believe that China will naturally grow into the state of the West after the 1930s, and the poor do not view it that way. Because all developing countries that have gone through this stage, whether in Latin America or East Asia, the final outcome is economic collapse, while social problems are more serious.
The reason why Pang Dao said "the collective degeneration of contemporary Chinese literary circles" is because in the aforementioned countries, the literary circles did not all follow the degeneration of the wealthy class during this period, praising hypocrisy, obscenity, and boredom. Instead, it focuses on the deep-seated problems of society. Dickens, Flaubert, Thackeray, Merimi, Zola, Maupassant, Dudd, Dumas, Roman Roland, Wilt, Madame Stowe, Mark Twain, Jack London, Balzac, Hugo... Countless brilliant literary and artistic superstars all appeared in this period. They either write about David Copperfield, Orphans in the Mist, and The Miserable World... to expose the darkness of society and the poverty and helplessness of the poor, or to write about the Gilded Age, Eugenie Grande, Red and Black... to expose the rich Greed and shameless, Pang Dao just named some novelists here. Poets and playwrights likewise created brilliance in this period. Even at that time, these writers all became well-known writers and artists in their own country and the world, and were admired by people. This period is not a writer who did not provide entertainment for the wealthy, but they were not well-known and despised by society.
Look at us, let alone these anti-communist films and works, the so-called representatives of the entire literary and art world are all clowns who provide entertainment for the wealthy. Yu Qiuyu is good at moaning without illness, and what Er Yuehe is good at is the emperors’ martial arts. Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang turned their attention to the intrigue and sensuality of Wulitou and the emperors; and "wushu" was a theme that originally described the knights resisting tyranny. A tool used to promote abstract value. If it weren't for Zhao Benshan's performance of "Falling Leaves Returning to Roots", the entire literary star would have become a "trick" of the wealthy group. (The reason why artists and artists were called "actresses" before liberation was that most of them were nothing but tricks and toys for the wealth-seeking groups. The reason why artists and artists changed their status after liberation because they were no longer rich. Toys have become a representative of the aspirations of the common people)
Even if writing works with the theme of "main theme", such as a large number of rural life works, there is no social reality at all. In every movie and TV series, there are piles of young people, but in real life, in rural areas, except for the elderly, there are children.
Under this circumstance, it is not that there will be works that reflect social divisions such as "Leaf Returning to Root" and "Little Dog Bike", but these works are simply impossible, and they have never been valued by mainstream media or leaders of the literary and artistic circles. They are more literary. Big names disdain. The entire literary and art world is moving towards "tricks" and "dolls". Zhao Benshan filmed "Falling Leaves Return to Roots", no one commented, no influence, and there were no CPPCC members. Feng Xiaogang filmed "Assembly Number", which was broadcast several times in a row on CCTV. The money was released, the award was judged, and the CPPCC member became a member. This comparison tells why Pang Dao lamented the collective decline of the literary and artistic circles in this era.
It is not that they have no chance, because this happens to be the era when the great masters were born. They are not without conditions, because after all, Zhao Benshan was able to successfully shoot "Falling Leaves Returning to the Roots". But they have green cards from all over the world, and they choose to fall.
