The movie "Left Ear" is definitely not a bad movie. Dialogue with Alec Su.

Remember that five elder brothers? Alec Su, from Little Tiger's Darling Tiger to Princess Pearl, has now become a new director, and her debut "Left Ear" has gained 400 million box office in ten days. After the film was released, Alec Su not only toured around with the actors, but also paid attention to everyone's comments with his left ear. I don't think there can be only one star in this movie. You give three stars, three and a half stars, OK, I accept it humbly, but someone gives me a star, but I don't accept it. Left Ear is definitely not a bad movie. ?

A: Left Ear is definitely not a bad movie. A little too much.

B: I think it is unrealistic for this movie to have five stars or more, but I think it is absolutely impossible for this movie to have only one star. You give it three stars, three and a half stars, okay. I accept this humbly, but someone gave it a star, but I didn't accept it.

C: There is such a thing as abortion in real life, so I don't need to avoid it deliberately. Originally, what attracted me to this novel was something with heavy flavor, perhaps because I didn't experience it when I was young, so I was quite interested in these things.

D: Personally, I think my personal preference may be a bit literary, but if you really want to do something that only pleases your feelings, you may not be able to make it even, and then you will make the publicity team around you and your investment boss look sad. Is this good?

Dialogue with Alec Su

From Little Tiger's Dear Tiger to Zhu Huan's May Brother,/kloc-Alec Su, who debuted at the age of 0/5, stayed in front of the screen for 27 years. Now he has become a new director, and his debut "Left Ear" earned 400 million box office in ten days. Recalling the beginning, Alec Su said that he didn't want to be a director. Follow fate? Received the left ear and became a director.

After receiving the invitation from 20 13, the film was released on 20 15. In the past two years, Alec Su has put aside everything to focus on shooting the left ear. When interviewed by Netease, the publicity of "Left Ear" was nearing the end, and the one-month national tour exhausted all the staff. When asked what regrets he had about the film, Alec Su was outspoken? I don't fucking regret it. I tried my best. What do you want?

Alec Su always pays close attention to everyone's comments on the left ear. He says he will read good and bad comments. Interview makeup gap, Alec Su also don't forget to ask the people present? Have you seen this movie? what do you think? Is there a problem? Repeatedly stressed? I can really listen. Tell me about it. ? Regarding the classification of movies, Alec Su said? It is absolutely impossible for this movie to have only one star. You give three stars, three and a half stars, OK, but someone gives a star, and I don't accept it. It's definitely not a bad movie, it's a bit too much. ?

However, Alec Su is not sensitive to box office figures. Until today, I didn't know that there is software that can see the real-time box office and refresh it every half hour. I didn't know that before? . After Left Ear, Alec Su signed a film contract with the production company. He frankly likes literary films. If you really do something that only pleases your feelings, you may not even make the movie. You are complacent, and then people around you, your investment boss, are unhappy. Is this good?

Interview record

Netease Entertainment: Why did you choose a youth film as your debut?

Alec Su: I didn't choose this. They chose me. They actually had this case before they found me in the left ear case, and then they found some directors who were much better than me. But in the end, because they didn't reply, it occurred to me that maybe the new couple could give it a try, so they asked me.

Netease Entertainment: Did you take it without hesitation?

Alec Su: No, no, no, at first I turned it down without thinking. I told my agent to get rid of it. It's impossible. I think it's ridiculous. I'm crazy. I don't think I will. I can't. I don't think it's possible. Really don't think about it. Then the agent asked me to go first, saying that if you want to refuse, you have to refuse the boss yourself. This is polite, and I think it is also true. Later, after we met, we chatted. When we talked about me, I thought it would be boring to refuse again. I said I would go back to reading novels. I used to concentrate on being a good actor, just thinking about acting. I think I was still in a meticulous state before. But I don't think I know all the professional departments around other movies, and I don't think I can do it.

Netease Entertainment: Have you asked the boss why he chose you?

Alec Su: I really didn't ask this question, but he was joking. There are two versions. One is that there are several people in charge of lighting. One of them is Li Xiaoping, Sister Xiaoping, a woman whom I respect very much. At that time, she joked with me, because when I was a child, I liked the little tigers in Little Tiger. I don't know if it's true or not. I'm kidding. She is very humorous. In addition, the staff has another version, that is, Sister Ping told them that I would choose Alec Su because Alec Su is a scholar. I don't know which one is true. But in my heart, I think it may be because the newcomers are cheap, cheap and hardworking.

Netease Entertainment: After reading the novel, you decided to make this movie?

Alec Su: After reading it, I just thought it was a good story. Actually, I hesitated. I don't think I particularly want to make trouble again, especially something I'm not good at at at all. I think this matter is quite big and will be very troublesome. Later, there were some turning points in the middle. One is that I suddenly feel as if I have some thoughts in my heart, some values I want to convey, and some inner energy is surging. Secondly, from my own Buddhist standpoint, since I want to follow the fate, it seems that the so-called fate should not be pushed away by excessive force, but should be seen how it will go, so I probably tried to keep my mind in this state later, that is, to be normal, let go and see how it will go.

Netease Entertainment: How long is the process from deciding to shoot to shooting to release?

Alec Su: At first, I decided to start this case, so I started to help it. The first step is to set up a team to see if anyone is willing to do something for a new person to help the left ear. The second step is to sharpen the script. These are all, but I will still have some basic aesthetics about the script, because I have read many books before, and I will have some ideas about what a good script should look like. But after all, it is the first time to do it, and everyone will experience it for a long time. Brother Xue is also the first time. She was once a very influential writer. She is a very good writer, but screenwriter is a different profession after all, so it takes a long time for everyone to communicate, including what she imagines these words will look like when they become a picture, which may be different from what I imagined. So the content of the novel, which carries a lot of things, how do you get rid of weeds and turn it into something that can be seen in two hours of movies?

We constantly argue, argue, discuss and convince each other in the middle. These are all processes. At the beginning, my creation was relatively pure, because I used to be an actor, you should know. I only chose those roles that are relatively unpopular, yes, challenging acting as the first priority, without considering the market and business. So, this time I made this film, I did the same thing, that is, I tried my best to say what I wanted to say and convey my thoughts, without relying on that business in particular. So maybe I think from then on, I think because it was the year before last, the youth film was not as good as it is now, and everyone felt a little about it. When I heard these three words, I rebounded a little. Fortunately, if I started working towards the highest box office at the end of the previous year, generally speaking, my approach should be to quickly look at what the successful youth films were like and what their selling points were. It turns out that the masses will like it and the audience will like the excitement. Fortunately, two years later, when everyone was tired of aesthetics, I just stopped doing it and felt lucky.

Netease Entertainment: The film is actually a youth film about the mainland theme. You didn't grow up on the mainland. Is this thing difficult to grasp?

Alec Su: This question is actually the first time I met Xue Man, because she is also one of the investors and the original author. They asked me this question when I first met her. At that time, I felt that the feelings of youth, the things we will experience during adolescence, and those feelings were all the same. At that time, I thought the focus of my film should be human nature. For example, if you go to see Frozen, you may still be moved, but you don't need to know how Disney people live. Haha, you know, for me, I think it should be this thing, not just copying the growth space of mainlanders in that era. However, this exquisite place still needs to be exquisite. What kind of mobile phone are you using? What was everyone's life like then? This should be exquisite. But I don't think that's the point of the movie. For me, I'm not trying to move everyone back to the environment where you grew up.

Netease Entertainment: So there is no difficulty?

Alec Su: I feel good. Of course, there are some unfamiliar places. I will ask people around me, hey, was it like this at that time? Were you like this? We should look up all the popular songs on the Internet. Because of the soundtrack, there was a lot of music, and later there was some music. Let's study what songs were popular at that time and in 2005. Later, because their copyright fees were too high, I deleted all those, so we used some other music. Because it is not irreplaceable, even if you put other songs in the bar, it is also established. Of course, it would be better if it were a popular song in 2005, and it would be better to evoke memories, so we will study what we should study, but I don't think the film itself is about this thing. As I said just now, it's about human nature and some * * *. The climax of my real movie and what touched me most were those points, so I felt fine.

Netease Entertainment: Did you just say that you want to speak through movies?

Alec Su: From my point of view, I think the core of this film is actually to forgive and redeem me on the premise of getting the original as much as possible. We must face some mistakes, face some things you are afraid of, and grow up slowly. There are some things that you can't get through, or some hatred. You should learn to let go and forgive, so that you can grow. Basically, its core is this thing. Maybe I don't think every audience needs to consider so many things. You can just watch it as a good movie, and then you will feel a little moved, which is ok. But from my point of view, I am like this, I think so, these things, I still hope that this film has the power to convey kindness, you insist on kindness, and God will not fail you.

Netease Entertainment: Now there are three treasures, love rat, car accident and abortion in the youth film, but there is no abortion in the story of Left Ear.

Alec Su: There is such a thing as abortion in real life, so I don't have to avoid it. Originally, what attracted me to this novel was something with a strong taste. Since it is called Rao Xueman's series of cruel youth, some things are realistic and cruel, and these things may be because my youth has never experienced them, so I am quite interested in them. There was no abortion, but we didn't avoid it deliberately, because at the end of last year, people didn't react so much to abortion in youth films, so we didn't avoid it either.

At that time, it was purely because the people in the novels were all senior three students, and some things could not be established in the censorship system of senior three students, so you went to see those heavy tastes in our movies, including Zhang Yang fighting with his stomach. Those things were in the novel, but Zhang Yang got pregnant, and then Zhang Yang was a senior three student, and even wanted to kick her out for an abortion. We tried our best to keep these heavy flavors. But come on, you can't get pregnant, and then the relationship between them must have happened after the college entrance examination, and it will only happen after the college entrance examination. This is what we have been trying to maintain.

Netease Entertainment: There is a wave of fresh meat and a wave of beautiful girls in the film. How did the director choose?

Alec Su: We have seen almost all the young actors that I think are possible now, not only me, but also Rao Xueman. Because she knows best what people in her novels should look like and what her fans expect. We met many people, from all walks of life, and also met students who have not graduated from school. You need to have a group of people of the same age, because in some cases, you just think he is ok, but when he is the only one in this group, and then he is three or four years different from others, for example, he may look very old, so he is sometimes a comparison result, right, comparison. Finally, when these people are together, you will see that they are well matched and very, very difficult to match.

Turin was last seen. At that time, we were really at the end of our tether. One week before the boot, it was an online snowman, because she used to be a very low-key school beauty. It seems that I didn't have much research on this kind of thing before, but Xuenan was more interested in these young people's things, so she tried to find the missing school beauty at the last minute, but she didn't expect to really get in touch with it. Finally, she is willing to leave it to her youth.

Netease Entertainment: From singer to actor to director, do you want to continue to be an actor or a director, and will you sing again?

Alec Su: I didn't particularly think about it, including how becoming a director will change my next life. I don't know, and then I trained myself not to presuppose. Wait and see. We'll know when we get there. As for the performance work in front of the screen, I don't have that great desire now. I want to do these things again. So, I'm not going to sing next, or I'm ready for my next role, no.

Netease Entertainment: From infatuation to giving up, I feel that these things are not very interesting in front of the screen. Is this mental journey very sad?

Alec Su: Fortunately, this is natural. If I really want to perform and love it, then I'll do it. Nobody told me not to do it. I have been working on this film for over a year. In the meantime, I basically pushed Shang Yan off the stage. Because I think if I am a director and ask for leave from time to time to say that I want to perform, how can I scold others? When you are always away, I have no position. So I haven't touched these things for more than a year. I didn't even read the script for my acting, so I pushed it off first. I want to finish shooting first.

Netease Entertainment: I saw a media interview with you before, saying that you might have a movie contract with Light. What do you want to shoot?

Alec Su: I haven't thought about it yet. I deliberately let myself not think about it. Now, the film hasn't been finished yet, and I don't think it's time for me to sum up my whole experience as a director. I think it's still on its way. So far, I think there are many things to think about if there is a next director. But I think it's actually quite lucky this time, because when I started writing, I never thought about what the audience would like. Now it feels as if some people have been moved, and some people may not have been moved. I think I may start thinking about these things in the next movie.

For myself, I think my personal preference may be a bit literary, but now I find that there are more and more foreign blockbusters on the market, and then the space for China films to survive in the market is getting smaller and smaller. If you really do something that only pleases your feelings, you may not even be able to arrange films, so you are complacent, and then people around you, your investment boss, are not happy.

Netease Entertainment: You don't want to make a literary film?

Alec Su: For me, I think what I need to think about is how to find a balance in the middle, and what should I do in the end? This matter involves the choice of theme, and I will think more about it next. The Left Ear is my first time. I haven't been there. I didn't know it was so important and there were so many things to consider. I am a little lucky and lucky to have this achievement now. Then I don't think I have this reason. I'm beginning to become an old man. I can't say I'm sorry. I don't know. I am willful. I just insist on making something like this. That's impossible. So now I still, this matter is big, and I didn't think much.

Netease Entertainment: Actually, "Left Ear" has been shown for many days now, and you have seen many feedback from ordinary audiences, both good and bad. what do you think?

Alec Su: Sometimes I find it a little strange, because I have never seen these things when I was an actor. Recently, some people have really felt what I want to express. I think I am very touched by these people, so I will thank them online. There's something crucial. I'll see if it's reasonable. Some of them, I find a strange phenomenon, that is, I will find that some comments on the internet are possible and the content is exactly the same. It appears exactly the same every few days, and then I click it in, written by different people. I just feel a little strange. The content, even the punctuation, is the same. I don't know, these experiences are new to me.

Netease Entertainment: What do you think of seeing these frequent things, which are exactly the same and will not change?

Alec Su: I just feel a little mysterious and wonderful. Being angry doesn't mean being angry. I think one thing is quite close to my idea, that is, to be myself. Why care about others? How much time do you have to take care of others? You might as well be yourself. I think this is also in line with my values, that is, not to be mean, not to discredit others, and to be myself. I think this is a good principle. Because now, sometimes when I see someone commenting on a star, I think this movie must be directed for the first time, but I have tried my best. I must say that he has five stars, or more than five stars, which I think is unrealistic, but I think it is absolutely impossible for this movie to have only one star. I think it must have its value or its exquisiteness. You give me three stars, three and a half stars, OK, I accept this humbly, but someone gives me a star, I think?

Netease Entertainment: Do you accept it?

Alec Su: I don't accept it. I think this movie definitely has more than one star. This movie is absolutely not bad. A little too much.
