I have always felt that using Jiang Wen’s talent to make a commercial and entertainment blockbuster is a waste, because the blockbuster, from an artistic point of view, use what Jiang Wen said in an interview with "Southern People Weekly" That is, its threshold is actually very low. Jiang Wen also said that some blockbuster film directors "use 0.2% of the energy to do this for you, and then he eats, drinks and plays as a big money, you look at me like a fool, I I don't think it's fair."
I said this two days ago: “If you want to make a fortune, remember not to challenge the public’s aesthetics, even if you firmly believe that the public’s aesthetics are stinky shit. Because it is said that in the country of shit shellers, only people who sell stinky shit can It was a big success.” At that time, I said this because of some people’s novels. After I said this, I thought about Chinese movies. In fact, some so-called blockbuster directors in China are also making and selling stinky. Shit, they also succeeded because of this.
I remember that I worked in a company a few years ago. I still remember what the general manager of that company said to me. She said to me: "The most important thing is the channel. As long as there is a channel, you just stop rubbish. If you enter the channel, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it.” I think some of the so-called blockbuster film directors in China must also understand this principle.
Fortunately, there are directors such as Jiang Wen, Chen Kexin, and Ning Hao in China. They now have enough capital to make so-called blockbuster films, but they have not joined the ranks of film directors who make and sell stinky shit or rubbish.
Cai Guoqiang famously said: "Art can be messed up." He also said that art is fun first. Sadly, many directors of blockbuster movies in China can't even mess around. It is even better to let them make a fun movie. It's still hard. And Jiang Wen is obviously very good at "messing" and knows how to make a fun movie. In fact, even in "Devils Here" and "The Sun Also Rises", which are considered to be art movies, there are so many fun. The plots are extremely entertaining. This time Jiang Wen made "Let the Bullets Fly", and he added a lot of dirty but fun plots to it. What's amazing is that those dirty and fun plots seem to be appreciated by both the refined and popular. In addition, Jiang Wen tells the story very well and has unexpected surprises from time to time, and this is obviously a talent that makes many Chinese directors jealous. Watching Jiang Wen’s movie, I remembered what Douyou Xieke said: “A movie with power is like undressing a beautiful woman. As minute by minute passes, each shot develops. It's fascinating and fascinating, and I will give you a naked surprise at the end..."
In my mind, Jiang Wen is the most powerful film director in China. Why do you say that? Because he made a so-called art film "The Devil Is Coming", this film has become the most classic art film in Chinese history in the minds of many people, and it is not one of them. Later, he made a commercial entertainment blockbuster. "Let the Bullets Fly", this movie has also become the most classic commercial and entertainment blockbuster in Chinese history in the minds of many people, and it is also not one of them.
In addition, Jiang Wen is not only a superb director, as one of the leading actors of "Let the Bullets Fly", his aura and his personal charm completely suppressed Fa Ge and Uncle Ge. What is genius? This is genius.
