Let the bullets fly

Jiang Wen made a movie, and he was also recognized. His four films in different styles all share a strong desire for self-expression. The "I" in every film, including the one played by Xia Yu, is a partial projection of his heart. The selection of the first three films, the vision of casting, the grasp of the rhythm, the camera, the level of storytelling and thinking, etc., have been consecrated in the hearts of our young people. But Jiang Wen was not satisfied, he pursued a broader identity. "Ghost Come" was banned and "The Sun" did not fare well at the box office. These disapproving voices lingered in Jiang Wen's heart.

More than two years later, Jiang Wen fired a carefully structured bullet that sought to break the game. His ambition is to gain the common recognition of his peers, the public, young people, great gods and the government. In a nutshell:

I, Jiang Wen, can also make money "standing".

    There are still romantic imaginations, crazy aesthetics, and extreme performances. However, Jiang Wen said this time that he wanted everyone to understand, so he did not let go of any detailed explanations. When the sturdy life began to explain, so the feelings and poetry were gone, of course. Do all directors’ aesthetics have to pretend to cater to the audience and lower their standards? Well, the market has won, and now I can understand and laugh.

    "Jiang Wen's masculine chauvinism catalyzed revolutionary romanticism into a narcissistic and empty farce; simple and crude revolutionary fantasies were reduced to outline stories with little credibility and no depth in cartoon interpretation; Outside the inner logic of the movie, it becomes a cheap spice at the level of jokes."
