Chapter 1598 (1/2)
In a reception hall of the new Huaxia cinema, Xiao Yunhai skillfully makes tea there. His movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, giving people a pleasant feeling.
Next to him is Zhao Wanqing, while opposite is the teacher Yao Wenyuan and the newly retired principal Zhuang bin.
They came to see the film together. When they went back, they were seen by Xiao Yunhai, so they came here together.
As one of the owners of the new Huaxia cinema, the manager Jiang Chengdong naturally took out the best tea to serve after learning that Xiao Yunhai had come.
When Xiao Yunhai saw that it was his favorite high-grade Longjing tea, he came to tea sets and boiled water to make tea for Zhuang bin and Yao Wenyuan.
After finishing, Xiao Yunhai put the cup in front of them and said, ”headmaster, teacher, do you have a taste of my craft
Yao Wenyuan said with a smile: ”can you still use it? Just look at the way you make tea and make it, you can see that you don't drink less tea at home. ”
Xiao Yunhai said: ”I'm afraid I can't change the habit I've developed since I was a child. How are you, teacher? ”
Yao Wenyuan shook his head and said, ”it's OK. I practice the Taiji regimen you taught me every day. I'm in excellent health. I haven't even had a headache or a cold. ”
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, ”that's good. How did you suddenly retire, headmaster? According to your age, you don't have time yet. ”
Zhuang Bin took a sip of tea and said, ”I'm abdicating my position. If you are old and can't keep up with the development of the times and social trends, don't get in the way of young people. I am now a light and unofficial man. I play chess with Lao Yao all day long. I live a comfortable life. ”
Yao Wenyuan said with a smile: ”in your term of office, there will be such superstars as Yunhai, Wanqing, Huangbo, and dozens of first-line stars. It is also a great legacy in the history of Yanjing Film Academy.”
Zhuang bin nodded and said, ”yes. But I still can't compare with you. The influence of Yunhai has surpassed the entertainment circle and reached the peak of the world pyramid. When people talk about him, they will certainly mention you. It's a famous thing in history. ”
Xiao Yunhai even said, ”headmaster, don't say that. I can't afford it. Not to mention anything else, just this ”Tang Bohu points autumn fragrance”, I guess someone on the Internet is scolding me now. ”
Talking about the film, Zhuang bin became serious and asked, ”Yunhai, I don't understand. How can you still make such a spoof movie? Don't you think it's very inconsistent with your present status and status? ”
Yao Wenyuan nodded and said, ”yes. You are now the leader of Huaxia film and television. Making such a nondescript film will have some impact on your status in the entertainment industry. ”
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: ”teacher, I have never regarded myself as the leader of Chinese movies, and I have never cared about my status. I just want to make movies that satisfy my fans. No matter what type it is, I'm happy as long as the audience likes it. When the script of Tang Bohu ordered the fragrance of autumn, Wan Qing told me that I would definitely be attacked by film critics. But I still shot it, in order to let the fans who have been busy for a year laugh in the cinema and have a happy new year. Judging from the reaction of the fans in the cinema, I should have done it. As for the critics, whatever they want, I don't care
Yao Wen said: ”at the beginning, I knew that you didn't seem to have a cold for literary films. Sure enough, almost all the films made later were commercial films, that is, ”the great master of the generation” also had some strong humanistic feelings. What do you think of what you say in your heart? ”
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: ”teacher, I really don't like those literary and artistic films that are specially made for winning awards, unless they can get good box office. Otherwise, it's rubbish. ”
”I've never told you before that I'm actually a box office man. The director should make movies for fans, not for art. No matter how artistic your film is, if the fans don't pay for it, then what you shoot is useless. ”
”I think the value of the existence of the film is to be recognized by the fans and bring them the sensory and psychological experience of sadness, happiness, shock, or moving, rather than the groaning without illness. Of course, I'm not totally negative about literary and artistic films. Only those literary and artistic films recognized by fans are real literary films. Otherwise, they are nothing. ”
Zhuang bin and Yao Wenyuan looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Xiao Yunhai would have such an attitude towards literary films. But when you think about it, what he said is reasonable.
A movie is made for the audience. If the audience doesn't even see it, what's the value.
However, Yao Wenyuan felt that Xiao Yunhai was too absolute, so he said: ”Yunhai, have you ever thought that if everyone is the same as you, the literary film may disappear. This is bound to have an impact on cultural heritage. ”
