Is Farewell My Concubine directed by Chen Kaige?

Technically, yes. Because directing is a comprehensive ability and a comprehensive art, it is inevitable to borrow some strength and materials here. Just like Cao Cao, he always asks many advisers at every key point. Can you say that his strategy came from someone else? Can you say this is not Cao Cao's ability? For a position leader, as long as he makes achievements, whether sweating or pointing, as long as he makes achievements, just as Liu Bang's army can't, as long as he can measure Han Xin, the fruits will not ultimately go to Liu Bang. Even if someone directed it, he did it. A leader who can use others and listen to others is also talented.

1. Farewell My Concubine on Douban is the best movie in the world. Sometimes first, sometimes second. Many people can't figure out: Why is the standard of Chen Kaige's first work so high that it still exists? ! ! According to the recognized trend at that time, he will definitely become the world's top director in the future, but why did Chen Kaige become a director laughed at by the world? This has become an unsolved case in China's film history. Today, Green will solve this unsolved case.

I come to a conclusion directly: Because Chen Kaige doesn't understand scriptwriting at all, and he doesn't want to use it well! Remember! This is the key point I will talk about later: "I don't want to use a good screenwriter"! ! Is the most irritating.

Directing for the first time, he was lucky to meet a good screenwriter. His wings are not so hard and his voice is not so loud, so he is not so conceited. Remember this is another key point! "The right to speak is not so great" can produce good works. The seemingly arrogant director is actually counterproductive to his work, so it is rumored that his father's direction is also wrong.

Why did the work fail later? After becoming famous when he was young, his wings became hard and swollen. After his success, his position was like an emperor who kept his word. The little screenwriter who helped him succeed in the past was not as good as the eunuch. His works are popular with the director, but the screenwriter has both fame and fortune, and the screenwriter is becoming more and more silent.

2. A director who doesn't know how to write a script is at best a contractor who does odd jobs and odd jobs; Just like Lu Bu doesn't understand strategy at all; Xiang Yu doesn't understand politics at all, just as pathetic and pitiful; The work is like a five-star hotel built on the beach. The audience themselves have to hold the contractor as high as the sky. Who has a good idea? This is the reason why you can't always expect a good movie, and it is also the reason why China movies can't get up all the time. Just because the public's cognitive level is too shallow, you should actually praise the screenwriter and the original work of Farewell My Concubine. Why do you think Hollywood has such a high status as a good screenwriter, while China has such a low status as a good screenwriter? To put it to the extreme: small fresh meat without acting skills is well-fed by many stars, while scientists who have been unknown for decades with meager salaries are left out in the cold.

I'm not aiming at one director. Green is talking about all directors. I'm not raising a screenwriter, I'm raising all screenwriters.

The director is like Liu Bei and the screenwriter is like Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei stumbled for decades and almost died a dozen times. That's because he lacks a good strategist and the ship sails by the helmsman! Good screenwriters know that the essence of movies is: telling stories in a down-to-earth way! The director who tells an unrealistic story is a headless fly and nothing! Therefore, movies and TV series will definitely be popular in the future. What we should praise most is the screenwriter. Only by giving the screenwriter a position and a right to speak can we conform to heaven and save China movies.

Why did I say that he disdained to use a good screenwriter? This is the most irritating. You are rich, powerful and famous, and you have the best resources in Chen Kaige. Any good screenwriter can be at your fingertips, at least the screenwriter of Farewell My Concubine who you have worked with is like this. Can we continue to cooperate? Be modest and just keep listening to him. It can also mean that you have a good pattern and a good level, and you can use people and your own abilities and achievements. Listening to the interview with Reed, the screenwriter of Farewell My Concubine, makes my teeth itch.

3. The audience thinks that Farewell My Concubine is all the director's credit, and Chen Kaige is only the beneficiary. In fact, there is nothing wrong with him, but this is the root cause, the root cause of bad money driving out good money, and the root cause of Huang Zhong's defeat and the thunder of the axe. In front of beautiful buildings, how can you attribute all the credit to a contractor with a small bag and a big gold chain? No designer's drawings! What is a contractor? Fame and fortune all belong to the contractor, which is not in line with the ethics of heaven, is it?

Green wants to say that what he said is a bit extreme. In fact, directing is not easy, it requires more than a dozen abilities, but scriptwriting is the most indispensable part, just like a barrel. Screenplay is the most important board. Without this board, the water will run dry. Chen Kaige has the potential to be brilliant again. Among the directors in China, he actually has the best chance to become the top director in the world, because he has the heroism and domineering of a great director: he can build a city for a film and invest one billion yuan to make a film, which no more than three directors in China can do. He just knelt down and asked him not to participate in the script in the future and handed it over to the screenwriter Lu Wei and others who had successfully cooperated again. After all, our audience really want to see a good movie, and the measurement will be enlarged a little. Green is here to make sure that if you listen, we fans will enjoy it again.

Finally, Green commented on other directors: Zhang Yimou's "Alive" is his highest achievement, because Yu Hua's original novel is well written and the reed plays well. Jiang Wen's "The Devil Comes" is also good-looking because of the grounding of the original novel and the director's practical storytelling! Why does Ning Hao always export good works? That's because he has been immersed in a movie for several years, and it is estimated that he spent half his time polishing the script.
