How to evaluate director Feng Xiaogang?

Cheng Yuan admired him very much, sincerely.

Except for his shabby appearance, Director Feng is simply an entertainment hero.

Starting from being a follower step by step, he became one of the top leaders in the country.

He has the same temperament as Guo Degang. Because of the difficult upbringing environment in his early years, after becoming famous, both of them will spend money and hate evil as much as they hate each other.

Cheng Yu'an understood Feng Xiaogang very well. If he didn't spend every penny, he wouldn't be able to support such a big business.

After being successful in business, he is eager to prove himself in art. This kind of thinking is actually normal - also because of the environment in which he grew up in his youth, he has always wanted to be recognized by the literary and art circles, but he is limited by his personal vision and ability.

, it is very difficult to go through art.

"Party A and Party B" doesn't count, it was leftover from Miga Mountain's "The Unruly Lord". Cheng Yu'an asked himself, he couldn't make films like "See You or Die" and "Big Shot".

Feng Xiaogang's joking and satire in his early years were really good.

Someone said of him: "Director Feng's plays are very vulgar (praise), but he has achieved first-class excellence in the path of vulgarity."

This is already very good.

Returning to "Tangshan Earthquake", Feng Xiaogang took over this project in 2007, and Cheng Yu'an, who is also the director, can imagine the hard work involved.

Regardless of whether he is doing it for fame or profit, if he can make a movie with this theme, he deserves recognition. The same is true for the subsequent "1942".

But some people say that his consumption is a national disaster.

This evaluation is a bit unreasonable.

This is also the reason why Cheng Yuan agreed to attend the world premiere of "Tangshan Earthquake".

Cheng Yu'an came back from London and rushed to Tangshan without even having time due to jet lag.

This should be Cheng Yuan's first time attending Feng Xiaogang's premiere.

Cheng Yu'an saw Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan backstage and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Director Feng."

This sentence moved the two couples, especially Feng Xiaogang. He held Cheng Yuan's hand and said, "It's worth it if it's not hard work. Just come back and sit down quickly."

In private, Feng Xiaogang was actually quite amused. He asked Cheng Yu'an to take a seat: "Don't leave tonight. Let's have a couple of drinks."

"I'm afraid that won't work. I have to fly to Los Angeles after the premiere. There are too many things to do with "Inception." Cheng Yu'an declined, "If I have time to return to the capital, I'll ask Director Feng."

Cheng Yu'an arrived relatively late, and there were already many people sitting backstage.

"Teacher Daoming." Cheng Yu'an greeted Chen Daoming,

"Back." Director Chen handed Cheng Yu'an a glass of water, and Cheng Yu'an took it, "How's "Inception" going?"

"It premiered in London yesterday. The audience should be close to the audience." Cheng Yu'an replied.

Then the guests backstage greeted Cheng Yu'an one by one. Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, Cheng Yu'an responded politely.

"You must be Zhang Zifeng." Cheng Yu'an saw her, and the little girl was accompanied by her mother.

"Hello, brother." Where did Zhang Zifeng meet Cheng Yu'an?

"Call me uncle," Zhang's mother said.

"Haha, it's okay." Cheng Yu'an rubbed Zhang Zifeng's head, "I saw the preview and my sister's performance is very good. She is the material for this bowl of rice."

"Thank you, Director Cheng, for the compliment." Zhang's mother smiled.

Zhang Zifeng is very famous. She is the protagonist in the 2-minute trailer of "Earthquake". The little girl took three of the pilot posters.

Before the premiere, the crew also went to the Earthquake Heritage Park to pay their respects.

Not long after, the front desk greeted the backstage guests to enter.

The host of the premiere was Jing Wei from the movie channel. At the pre-screening sharing meeting, the main creators talked about how difficult it was to film this movie. Feng Xiaogang and his wife expressed their love for Zhang Zifeng. Xu Fan said:

"People say that adults should not act with children. I have a deep understanding this time. When I was with her (Zhang Zifeng), I kept reminding myself that I must do subtraction and keep subtracting to zero. Don't

There are traces of acting, but it has to be restored to the most real state. She gave me a lot of experience..."

Director Feng said more directly that Zhang Zifeng is a treasure given to him by God: "As directors, we are usually relatively calm, but there was a scene of ruins, she was alone in it, and all of us in the audience watched her act and film

When it was over, everyone was crying, no one needed to look at others, everyone was crying."

The little girl was childish and said that Director Feng was "very gentle" on the set.

But something went wrong at the premiere.

During the screening of the film, there was a problem with the lighting at the scene, and one light could not be turned off in time. Feng Xiaogang went crazy, smashed everything in the temporary tent, and cursed in the tent.

After three years of sharpening a sword, he worked hard to get to the premiere. At this time, because the lighting affected the viewing effect, Feng Xiaogang's emotions were out of control.

Fortunately, Wang Zhonglei calmed him down in time: "Now there are more than 10,000 people watching movies outside. If our emotions affect the audience, then the gain will outweigh the loss."

Fortunately, after coordination, the lights were turned off.

It was also the first time for Cheng Yu'an to watch "Tangshan Earthquake" like this. The effect was shocking. After all, the world's largest giant screen was used for the screening.

But the problem is not that there is no problem. The pre-roll advertisement for "Tangshan Earthquake" is 15 minutes long - 9 movie trailers and 8 commercial advertisements. The movie trailer is only 5 minutes and the advertisements are 10 minutes.

Among them is the long-range "A Little Thing About First Love".

Cheng Yuan tilted her head and said to the producer Yao Jianguo sitting next to her: "That's too much."

Yao Jianguo smiled bitterly: "There is no way, the pressure is too great to recover the capital."

"Tangshan Earthquake" is a very well-produced film. It uses an absolutely large amount of space to describe the life of a family after the disaster, but the post-earthquake relief work is not described too much. This is a very good way of handling it.

In particular, Zhang Zifeng's performance was outstanding.

Incredible aura!

But the shortcomings are also obvious. The timeline is too long, from 1976 to 2008, spanning 30 years.

Wenchuan and Tangshan are used to echo each other, but the processing is not good enough.

But the flaws do not hide the good points, Cheng Yuan likes her very much.

After the movie was screened, the entire stadium filled with thousands of people burst into warm applause.

After the screening, Feng Xiaogang joked and asked the audience: "This movie is an assignment given to me by the people of Tangshan. Today I am here to hand in my assignment. I just want to ask everyone, did I pass the assignment today? (Tangshan accent)"

The audience loudly replied: "hit!"

At the end of the premiere event, Feng Xiaogang also led all the main creators to drink three glasses of wine with everyone, and spilled the first glass of wine on the stage to dedicate it to the 240,000 compatriots who died in the Tangshan earthquake. May they rest in peace.

What's even more amazing is that there was a cool breeze in the stadium during the movie screening, and the audience was quietly enjoying the movie in a comfortable environment. But just after the event was over and all the audience left the premiere site, a sudden strong wind blew.

, the heavy rain, like crying, many people think that these are the tears of the 240,000 compatriots who were killed in the Tangshan earthquake, gathered tonight.

Feng Xiaogang interpreted it as "God opened his eyes, which not only allowed the movie to be screened smoothly, but also made the deceased more mournful."

When the movie ended, Cheng Yu'an hugged Zhang Zifeng affectionately and expressed his love for talent: "You did a great job. How about acting with your uncle in the future?"
