It was first listed as a bloody battle to create the Eastern Fujian Soviet Area. All the scenes in the play were chosen in eastern Fujian. Jialiang Xie said that when filming this revolutionary TV series, I often think of some revolutionary stories told by old people when I was a child. After the story is combined with childhood impressions, eastern Fujian is surrounded by mountains and waters, with beautiful scenery, lush virgin forests, spectacular mountains and rivers, unique Danxia landform and vast beaches in Xinjiang.

Answer the interview of visual arts.

Editor's note: Population aging is a population revolution, which will bring great challenges to the world. Africans say; The death of an old man is like the burning of a library. This proverb has a profound meaning. A member of the British hard shell worm band sang, "Do you still need me when I am 64 years old?" Still supporting me? United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan said at the Second World Assembly on Ageing, "I think the answer is yes. Yes, there will still be the support of the elderly in 2 1 century, and the elderly will still be needed in 2 1 century. "There are very few film and television works with the theme of' old age'. Is anybody there? "(Hello? ) has been shelved for 65,438+00 years, especially domestic films with similar themes. But "All Love", an old-age film, once directed by young director Jialiang Xie, attracted a lot of attention.

Jialiang Xie has created many films that reflect the lives of ordinary people, such as Sister, Live and Die Together, Wine, My Brother Ann and so on. Most of them are based on socially sensitive people, and their works are simple and simple, but they are always meaningful and thought-provoking.

"Face death calmly. Nursing homes should be the last stop in life, and people have to live wherever they go. Just living in different environments. " "All Love" is an old-age theme film joined by many old artists, which tells the emotional story of Zhang Xiaobin, the protagonist, with the elderly and their families in a nursing home, regardless of his own health. Although the story does not tell the great light of traditional virtues, it reflects the greatness of human nature from ordinary life. Just like the first word that stung us when we first got the outline of the story: "filial piety". Parents brought us up because of their deep love for their own flesh and blood, besides their responsibilities and obligations. But as children, how can we repay our parents when they enter their twilight years?

"Movies are recording the incomplete beauty in life. I believe that many people think so. "

Interview with Jialiang Xie

Artistic vision: As far as I know, Xie Dao is a family with good wine and fragrance. Grandpa and dad made good wine, but you chose to be a director. Can you tell me how you chose to work in this industry in the first place? Is there any reason?

Jialiang Xie: There are no winemakers. Actually, it was my last grandfather who made wine, and my father finally took him as his son. I have three grandfathers. My biological grandfather died before my father was ten years old. The second grandfather who adopted his father was a carpenter. Although his father left home because of his innocent family wealth, the so-called property is only a few acres of farmland in the countryside. Although father is gone, grandpa still regards us as family. He was kind to me, too. I look forward to being with him most every winter and summer vacation. Only he can give me some pocket money. This is my family background, so this kind of family is not respected in the countryside. As you can imagine, my childhood and growth were full of difficulties. I just hope to leave my hometown as soon as possible until I study art. Actually, this has nothing to do with being a director now. However, knowing how warm and cold the world is too early is still very helpful for my current creation.

Artistic vision: From studying fine arts as a child to being a film director later, your works give people the impression that you should pay more attention to the shaping of the beauty of the picture. No matter "My Brother Ann Xiaotian" or "All Love" that we are going to see soon, what do you think is the influence of the fine arts major you studied in your early years on your current directing work?

Jialiang Xie: Art is to preserve the instant memories in life, and movies are to record the lost memories in life. They are ordinary. Directors who have studied painting will have requirements on composition, color tone and exhibition way intentionally or unintentionally when shooting. But movies still have to tell stories and know how to control the rhythm. You can't blindly pursue the perfection of the picture and abandon your main business. This is narcissism. I think the quality of a movie must be based on the story and rhythm, and the perfect picture is just the icing on the cake in the movie. I don't think the pictures in my movie look good. After all, the surrounding environment in real life is not designed according to your requirements. So is the movie. It is true, and sometimes there is no need to deliberately pursue the so-called perfection. It can also be said that movies are recording the incomplete beauty of life. I believe many people think so.

"Another theme of the film: facing death calmly. Nursing homes should be the last stop in life, and people have to live wherever they go. "

Artistic vision: All Love has joined a large number of heavyweight film artists, so when you are writing the script, do you have these actors in mind or have you thought about where to shoot it?

Jialiang Xie: Yes, I had dinner with Mr. Chen Maolin the year before last, when he retired for the second time, so he was in a bad mood. I just want to find a movie about the old man to relax him. When I heard this story in Shanghai, I quickly went to a nursing home to experience life and chat with the prototype of Zhang Xiaobin. I asked him: Do you think you are noble? He replied with a smile, I'm just doing my job. When I said you were inadvertently accumulating virtue. He stopped laughing and answered me faintly: I don't miss these old people as much as my parents do. It was not until I started writing the script that I suddenly thought of Mr Lisa Lu and Mr Huang Suying. Unfortunately, for various reasons, Mr Lisa Lu can't attend the film. Until now, I really hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Lisa Lu. During the preparation of the film, she called overseas many times to encourage me and helped me out of trouble several times. The whole film was shot in Shanghai, and the location was along the Suzhou River. Having lived in Shanghai for nearly 20 years, I have feelings for Shanghai. I can feel that the changes of Suzhou Creek reflect the great changes in Shanghai, which is also a vivid portrayal of the gap between the rich and the poor in Shanghai. It's a perfect place to put such a film.

Artistic Vision: The English name of the film All Love is Helping the Elderly. In the film, Zhang Xiaobin explains that helping the elderly is a typical example of helping yourself. How typical are we in real life?

Jialiang Xie: Lots and lots. With the progress of society, in the face of reality, some people will be indifferent to their families and forget "filial piety", so many unpleasant things will happen. For example, we should learn from good fashion, just like the "five good families". I don't know if there is, it is worth popularizing. We should also accept and face the bad atmosphere and finally try to persuade them to return.

Artistic Vision: How to treat the question "As a child, how can I repay my parents when they are in their twilight years"?

Jialiang Xie: As the saying goes, "Only by raising children can parents know their kindness". Life is so bitter, let alone the person who gave it to you. People will have a sense of loss and fear when they are old, and sometimes unreasonable troubles need to attract children's attention. It's just that children run around for the pressure of life, spend less time together, lack communication, lead to misunderstanding and finally produce contradictions. There is no barrier to communication, and consider it from the other side's standpoint. No matter how rich your life is and how prominent your position is. One day you will be old … care and cherish your friends and relatives. When you are old, they will repay you with the same care and cherish. This is the theme of the movie. Quote a sentence in the script: don't wait until you have money and time, the old man is gone. Don't feel guilty when you dream about your parents at night! Everyone is selfish, but you can't be a little selfish to your parents. My daughter is less than two years old and knows the hardships of being a parent. I used a monologue in the play, which should explain one thing: children. When you see me getting old and my health getting worse, please be patient and try to understand me … If I eat dirty, if I can't dress … please be patient … Do you remember how long it took me to teach you this? If, when I say the same thing over and over again … don't interrupt me, listen to me … When you were young, I had to read the same story over and over again until you fell asleep quietly … When I don't want to take a shower, don't humiliate me or scold me. Do you remember how many excuses I made up when I was a child, just to coax you to take a bath?

Artistic vision: In the film and television works with the theme of the elderly, which are getting more and more attention, it is also a film with the theme of "the elderly". So what do you think is the difference from other movies with similar themes? How do you understand and handle these differences?

Jialiang Xie: The biggest difference is that so many old artists have joined us, and everyone is the protagonist with a story. It's not a dragonfly, it's used as a live prop. There is another theme in the film: facing death calmly. Nursing homes should be the last stop in life, and people have to live wherever they go. Just living in different environments. There are joys and sorrows in heaven ... don't feel terrible. For the elderly, easy walking is the perfect end of life.

Artistic vision: What is the most difficult and interesting thing about making this film?

Jialiang Xie: Nothing is smooth sailing, so let's leave aside the difficulties. But I still want to thank those who intentionally or unintentionally caused me trouble and let me gain experience in different periods. Then, there are many interesting things. Unfortunately, I often don't see it. I listen to my colleagues after work. There are still many jokes when talking and walking at the scene, and the atmosphere of laughter is very good. After all, so many old artists are acting together, with many ideas and jokes. I have always regarded them as "old children" and they are very kind to me. Everyone's creative desire is still very strong and touching.

"I won't deliberately do a certain theme, but some themes deserve your attention, and the general cycle is one or two years."

Artistic vision: What aspects will inspire you in your usual creation?

Jialiang Xie: I always find different friends to drink and chat with and listen to their voices. Inspiration cannot be suppressed by one person at home. There are many touching materials in life. As long as you feel the friends around you, inspiration will still exist from time to time. I won't deliberately do a certain theme, but some themes deserve your attention, and the general cycle is one or two years. Then find different ways to show its value.

Artistic Vision: He Shuifa, a famous painter, has his work All Is Love. Does it have anything to do with the film you directed this time?

Jialiang Xie: No, just a coincidence. As for the title of the film, there is still debate, but I think getting old and getting smart is also a continuation of fashion. "All love" is also an annotation of "Old Joe". The old people in this movie are all fashionable, brightly dressed and full of energy, whether they are Huang Suying, a teacher in his 90s, or Zheng Yuzhi, a teacher in his 80s. They will never take back the beauty that should have been released because of their age. Years can make people grow old, but a happy mood can keep them. Therefore, I let the old people sing passionately, and let the cheerful songs keep the last time. At the same time, it also makes the old people pay attention to each other and help each other, so that the old people in nursing homes are very busy every day. The old people here are not lonely, but can be carefree, including the fear of death. This is the effect I want.

Artistic Vision: What do you think of contemporary film art?

Jialiang Xie: Everyone's experience and experience are different, and the works presented are also different. You can't always find fault with other people's tofu. Now that the film already exists, there must be a reason for its existence. As for the essence, how to discuss it? Of course, it is important to tolerate and allow films with different themes and styles to exist, so as to achieve "universal love and let a hundred flowers blossom". I always watch every movie like this, like this. After all, it's not easy for anyone who can make a movie. Movies are not a person's art. In short, I respect and cherish everyone around me.

6. Map

20 1 1 1, the film "Map" officially started shooting in Zuo Qi, Alxa League, Inner Mongolia.

Magnificent' is often accompanied by' it's too cold up there'.

During the filming of Map, the crew traveled hundreds of kilometers to shoot almost every day. It is often dark when you go out, and it is dark when you come back. The harsh winter season in the desert area is undoubtedly a great test for the entire crew from the south. The camera is frozen, the diesel oil is frozen, and even the food in the thermos can freeze if it is not delivered in time. These difficulties have become powerless under the strong cohesion of the crew.

The plot of a play

A tramp met an old woman who loved stories. He used his cleverness to bring her tea, dinner and a warm bed. But grandma finally said, "You are so smart, why are you wandering?"

Xiaojie, Shi and Bao are all left-behind children. They often point to the map on the wall and study the route again and again. I am full of infinite reverie and hope for the straight-line distance between Alashan and Beijing. Finally, they decided to earn 6.5438+0 million yuan and take their grandparents out of the grassland.

When they saw the well-equipped motorcycle "Digging Lock Yang" army stationed in the grassland, their first plan was aborted at the beginning. The second plan is to look for "desert roses" in the desert. Being young and ignorant and lacking common sense, Xiaojie and Stone got lost in the desert and passed by death.

Although faced with many difficulties, children always persevere, optimistically fulfill their promises in a naive way and complete a task that can never be completed. ...

Children are full of infinite yearning for the world outside the grassland, and they may become smart vagrants in a sense.

The movie Map tells the story of one treasure hunt after another, which happened to three children under the age of 10 again and again ... Finally, they found sincere friendship. The ecological balance and environmental protection in China, the ubiquitous living conditions of left-behind children and empty nesters, and their inner pursuit of family reunion are all forced by the pressure of life.
