The Director of Music Department

"Double-standard dog!" Li Zhen couldn't help complaining.

"Who are you saying is a double-standard dog? Am I wrong? Isn't it the movie "Wolf Warrior" that doesn't allow others to say anything bad? As long as you criticize, there will be a bunch of comments below. Worshiping foreigners, saying that they are harsh on domestic films and lenient on Hollywood films." Chen Can said angrily.

"Hehe, what you say is that criticism is not free, and praise is meaningless, so can I also say that if praise is not free, then criticism is worthless?"

"It's your freedom to criticize, but others have the freedom to praise the film if they agree, and they also have the freedom to criticize you. Why, those who disagree with your point of view are blocking your freedom of criticism? How dare you say anything , You are not allowed to say even half a bad word, you are blocked, or what? You say what you say, and others scold them, what? Is this why you are not free?" Li Zhen said disdainfully.

In fact, the so-called criticism is not free, and praise is meaningless. It can be said that when many film critics are under siege by the public, they most often say it.

"You are making unreasonable words. Our criticisms are well-founded criticisms, while their abuses are baseless abuses." Chen Can said unwillingly to be outdone.

"Hehe, your so-called basis is your own standard, so what are other people's standards, do you know? Everyone likes to watch this kind of patriotic movie, why is it so shallow? Why is it wrong? To promote patriotism, Or, as a Chinese, is patriotism wrong?"

"Okay!" At this time, Wang Fu said.

Although both Li Zhen and Chen Can were still aggrieved, they stopped arguing.

"The dispute between the two of you can be discussed after class. What we want to talk about now is not that. It's off topic." Wang Fu didn't make any comments on what the two said.

"You are about to graduate this year, and you are all adults, so it's normal to have your own ideas, and it's normal to disagree." Wang Fu said with a smile.

"I know some people don't take "Wolf Warrior" seriously, but today we are not here to analyze the artistic achievements of this movie, but any movie that can be successful, there is always a reason for its success. Explosive sales also have their merits.”

"So what are the merits of "Wolf Warrior"? In today's class, we don't talk about technical things, nor discuss artistic things, because the movie "Wolf Warrior" is always a commercial movie. "

"Just now someone said that "Wolf Warrior" is at best an assembly line work, which is not wrong, so while you think so, should you also be curious, since it is only an assembly line work in your opinion, and it is not much better than other works. How much better is the work, so why did this movie get such a high box office? Why did it get so many praises?"

"You will no longer be students, you will also become directors, so, should you think about this issue more?"

"Li Nannan, tell me." When Professor Wang Fu saw a female student raising her hand, she stopped immediately, indicating that she could speak.

"Professor Wang, is the box office the only criterion for judging a good movie? Many good movies often don't do well at the box office, but some bad movies often sell well..." The man named Li Nannan The female student is also a student of literature and art.

In other words, in fact, most of the academic directors would not think about taking the commercial film route at the beginning.

Often there are two reasons.

The first reason is that the education they receive, what is taught in the classroom, and what is taught in the textbooks are often more artistic.

Subtly, they will be more inclined to literary movies.

The second reason is that, in fact, commercial films, for a director, have never been said to have a lower threshold than literary films.

Quite the opposite.

The threshold for commercial films is actually higher!

Wang Fu smiled and said, "Student Li Nannan's doubts, I believe many of you have them."

"Then let's talk about what kind of movie is a good movie! A movie with a high box office? Or an award-winning movie?" Wang Fu looked at the crowd with a smile.

This time, Li Zhen was also a little at a loss.

In fact, he really wanted to say that although the box office is not the only criterion for measuring a movie, at least the box office can explain a lot of problems.

But as Wang Fu said, is a movie with a high box office a good movie? Is an award-winning movie a good movie?

"Actually, whether it is a good movie or not, in my opinion, the first thing to determine is the position!" Wang Fu said looking at the students who were about to graduate from the directing department.

""Wolf Warrior" has caused a lot of controversy among you just now. Some students like Li Zhen think that "Wolf Warrior" can achieve such a high box office, which has its merits."

"Some students like Bu Dong and Chen Can think that "Wolf Warrior" is not a good movie."

"In fact, you all have preset positions. Each of you, including me, actually has your own position."

""Wolf Warrior" can have such a high box office. First of all, at least, we can be sure that it is definitely not a bad movie!" Professor Wang Fu glanced at Budong and Chen Can this time!

"I know that you may have learned a lot from those old classic movies in Europe and America, so you feel that commercial movies, commercial popcorn movies like "Wolf Warrior" are useless!"

"But, first of all, your position is wrong. You are not ordinary audiences, you are not film critics, you are directors!"

"When you look at any movie, I hope that the first thing you think of is not whether this movie is bad or not, but to watch it seriously and think seriously about whether this movie has any merits. .”

"Director He Jun, he is your old senior. To put it bluntly, you count as one. No one has the right to say that his film is not good! Of course he is not perfect. "Wolf Warrior" of course It’s not a perfect movie either.”

"But as directors, the first thing you should think about is whether there is any merit in this movie. For those who say that this movie is useless, I would like to advise you to take back your unnecessary pride and leave this school. You will no longer be the so-called proud sons of heaven, you will also become directors!"

"I'm disappointed that you guys would be so jealous over a movie, but I'm also glad you guys have your own ideas."

"But I hope that I can teach you one last lesson before you leave this campus!"

"Any movie, whether it wins an award or has a high box office, as long as there is one of them, then this movie definitely has merits, and it is worth learning from, rather than looking at it with a critical eye! It’s a director, so you need to look at the film in a way that looks for merit, not criticism.”

"Because your criticism is of no benefit to yourself! It cannot improve your own level!"
