The Best Director

Chapter 238 Qiang Qiang Threesome

Wang Yang's first Chinese TV program was "A Date with Luyu". After understanding, he appreciated the easy-going program style of Phoenix Satellite TV's Chinese channel, so they had a good relationship with each other. Flame Movie also gave it a The program provided a promotional trailer for "21". . This time he came to China, Phoenix Satellite TV had already invited some programs, and he made a special trip to Beijing to record.

Since he was able to show his face and had time, Wang Yang readily agreed to the invitation, but he did not choose "A Date with Luyu", which was recorded just last year. Apart from solo travel, he knew that there would still be a lot of opportunities to come to China for publicity in the future, and it would not be too late to go to "A Date with Luyu" at that time. This time he wanted to try other programs, so he chose "Qiang Qiang Three". Pedestrians.

In the studio with a simple and elegant layout, a round table covered with a white tablecloth was placed in the direction of the middle of the field where the photography and recording equipment were aligned. Wang Yang, who just came to the recording site, was shaking hands with host Dou Wentao and guest host Liang Wendao. Wearing rimless glasses, Dou Wentao smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, I have known you for a long time. Your movie has the power to shock people."

"Mr. Wang, I have admired you for a long time." Liang Wendao, with a flat cut, wore black-rimmed glasses, black shirt kù, and a bookish face with a smile on his face. He shook hands and said, "Your movies have taught me a lot. It's really a pleasure to meet you today." Wang Yang also said with a smile: "Mr. Liang, I have admired you for a long time."

For the two hosts, Wang Yang got to know each other through the video material of "Qiang Qiang Threesome". This talk show is very eclectic. Liang Wendao is especially attractive. After chatting for a few words and getting to know each other, the three of them sat down at the table. The topic of today's program is "Why did you go to the cinema".

The extended topics include personal reasons, the significance of cinema to individuals, the significance to audiences, and the growth of China's box office, etc.

"I seldom go to the cinema now, and I always watch DVDs at home just to save time, but when I was a teenager, it was crazy."

Liang Wendao sat on the left side of the table in front of the camera, looked at Wang Yang on the opposite side, and Dou Wentao in the middle of the front, and continued: "I miss those days very much now. At that time, I spent almost all my money to go to the cinema to watch movies. Then I rushed to five scenes a day, and used some coins left in my pocket to buy bread to eat in the middle, and watched it after eating. It sounds hard, but now I think it’s incredible!"

He smiled and said: "But at that time, I really felt a feeling of happiness all over my body, very comfortable and happy. Why? Because of freedom."

"You Jing, a film scholar, wrote a very beautiful sentence, which can't be better, and the general idea is this." Liang Wendao took a sip from his teacup, and stated: "It takes courage to go to the cinema to watch a movie.

Think about it, we are sitting in the same dark room with a group of strangers who don't know each other, witnessing all kinds of thrilling scenes on the screen. It may make us sweat, it may make us cry, or even make us blush. "

"Although we can't see it, can't we feel the neighbor's gradually heavy breathing, the atmosphere of tension, sadness or excitement?"

Both Dou Wentao and Wang Yang nodded silently. Liang Wendao made a hand movement and continued: "The cruelest landscape in the world, the deepest secret in the heart... I actually saw it among the public. There is no remote control, adjust I can’t control the picture and tempo, and I can’t adjust the volume. I just sit passively among a group of strangers, and then I’m provoked by the screen. I can’t help laughing, or crying bitterly, recalling, thinking...do you need courage to enter the theater? ?”

"Yes." Dou Wentao leaned back on the chair and said, "Many people, including me, entered the theater for the first time. They were very nervous, fidgety, and their palms would sweat." Forget it, watching "Emerald" when I was four years old, I just thought it was very lively and fun."

Dou Wentao grew up in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province in 1967; Liang Wendao was born in Hong Kong in 1967, and returned to Hong Kong to study after growing up in Taiwan; Wang Yang in 1967 grew up in San Francisco, USA. Naturally, life experiences, concepts and views are very different. .

"I say freedom because of the truth." Liang Wendao continued what he had just said: "There are some movies that film the truth that is lost and covered up in daily affairs, showing the impermanence of fate, the struggle of human nature... all of these Boldly made it out, for us. Watching a movie, especially a good movie, is the heroic act of recognizing yourself in a crowd."

He finally said: "You will feel that the holy king of Wudong Qiankun created the holy king. The king will kill the gods at night and the throne of the gods will be the strongest. The royal family of the great zhou slays the throne of the gods and gods at night, seeks the throne of the gods, and seeks the demons, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young man, the royal family of the great zhou dynasty True emotions, leaving this vulgar society, leaving those boring and lies, leaving school and leaving expectations... It is to face yourself, but to be exposed to the crowd. So going to the cinema to watch movies is my pursuit of freedom in my youth s method."

"My youth..." Wang Yang said a bit weirdly, it was actually 5 or 6 years ago, but thinking about it since he was 12 years old, he said: "As I said earlier, I went to the cinema for the first time when I was four years old, and then I went to the cinema. I fell in love with movies, and I will watch at least one movie every weekend, regardless of the weather, of course, if the weather is really too bad, I can only watch videos at home."

"Maybe I grew up in a different environment. I don't feel that it takes courage to go into the theater. The movie theater is a very interesting place. Either you watch yours and I watch mine. Don't disturb each other; or it's like a party. , everyone share with the screen, and feel the martial arts together. Abandoned Young Master Zhou Royal Family Martial Qiankun General Night Killing God God Seal Throne Begging Demons Proud World Nine Heavens Strongest Abandoned Young Master Zhou Royal Clan God Maker Night Killing God God Seal Throne Ye Killing God God Seal Throne Begging Demons Proud World Nine Heavens Strongest Abandoned Young Zhou Royal Clan."

Wang Yang smiled, spread his hands and said, "Why do those TV sitcoms always add off-screen laughter? Because watching TV alone or with a few people at home is not enough atmosphere, without those haha ​​​​laughs, sometimes you will I can’t laugh. This is the herd effect, that kind of atmosphere, that kind of atmosphere. Many people in the screening hall watch together, laugh and cry together, and the movie will be very good.”

"After watching a movie, even after watching a movie at home alone, you will talk about it with friends, rate it online and write reviews, read other people's reviews and discuss it... Why blogs are popular is that there is a A desire to share and express."

When it comes to chatter, Wang Yang is naturally not afraid of anyone, took a sip of tea, and continued: "So I think the courage needed to enter the theater is not only to face your own heart in the public, but also to dare to share it with others. Dare to express yourself with courage."

Both Dou and Liang were quiet and focused. After hearing him stop, Liang Wendao nodded and said, "I agree very much. At that time, I was very depressed. Everything I said and did was suppressed. Only You can be released in the movie theater." Dou Wentao laughed and said, "Being a filmmaker or a media person requires this kind of courage!" Liang Wendao immediately said: "Especially, writing articles, filming movies and doing shows... You must take yourself seriously." Wang Yang smiled and said, "We are three warriors now, right?"

The three of them laughed a few times, took a sip of tea each, and Wang Yang continued: "I agree with what Liang Wendao said just now. Movies can make people leave this world and their own lives, leaving only emotions .Most things on the screen are beyond your experience, no matter who you are, like sci-fi, dinosaurs, horror... We can't get it, but there is a vast world on the screen, and then we plunged into it go in."

"People's hearts and thinking, I just love those rich and colorful stories. I like my own life, and I also like life on the screen. Comedies and tragedies are good. I will be very happy after watching a good movie." Wang Yang said: "So Going to the cinema to watch movies is a way to get happiness for me when I was a boy and for me now. I hope to bring this kind of happiness to the audience now."

"We were just curious at that time, to catch up with the flow, and to get to know the outside world."

Then it was Dou Wentao's turn, and he said with a smile: "In those days, mainland China had just imported films from Hong Kong, Taiwan and foreign countries. After all, they were much better than Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. When they were young, they all entrusted someone to quietly bring video tapes from Hong Kong. , a few people hid in a room to watch, this is Anthony Oni, this is Akira Kurosawa..."

Wang Yang and Liang Wendao both had calm expressions, and Dou Wentao said: "I remember 1987 the most, when I was 18 years old, and I was studying journalism at Wuhan University. That year, the mainland introduced the American "Breakdance", and then many people went crazy. It's fashionable to go to a disco and dance."

Pointing to his left palm with his right hand, he counted: "Schools, factories, large courtyards...the courageous ones put cassette recorders on, and learned to dance while wearing lanterns. At that time, greetings on the street were hardly more than waving. , it was break dancing. Then in 1988, Tian Zhuangzhuang filmed "Rock and Roll Youth".

"Just like Miracle Yang now, he is almost the idol of all young people." Dou Wentao raised his cup and took a sip of tea. Wang Yang smiled, and Liang Wendao said with a smile: "In 1988, if I remember correctly, Tiger Team It was established that year, right? The dancing and singing really killed a lot of girls." Listening to these, although the popular scenes are mostly the same, but they really don't understand, so Wang Yang quietly listened.

However, this episode of "Qiang Qiang Threesome" is only 1 minute, and it is divided into two episodes, so Wang Yang's chatter is still fully satisfied, he talked about many topics, and happily finished recording this program. The promotional activities of China Tour are all over.
