The director is the organizer and leader of film and television works, the person who expresses his thoughts with actors, and the general person in charge of bringing film and television literary scripts to the screen.

As a synthesiser of various artistic elements in film and television creation, the director’s task is to organize and unite all the creators, technicians and performers in the crew, give full play to their talents, and integrate the creative labor of everyone.

A director is like the highest commander of the army. The quality of a film and television work is largely determined by the director's quality and cultivation; the style of a film and television work often reflects the director's artistic style and personality, and can better reflect the director's values ​​of looking at things.

Before the movie appeared, the emergence and establishment of the director's identity was very important than the long history of drama. This at least shows that the director needed to unify the various drama elements and organize the performances after all the material and spiritual elements of the drama had been accumulated and developed considerably.

The first director recognized in the history of general drama is the Duke of Meningen, Germany. Before the birth of the director, the work of organizing the performance was held by the playwright, experienced leading actor or theater manager.

With the development of drama itself, the definition of drama director is also keeping pace with the times. Looking back at the history of drama in the 20th century, there is no doubt that the authority and role of directors are becoming more and more important in drama performances.

The Lumiere brothers in France created the art of film at the end of the 19th century, and John Baird of Britain created the technology of television in the early 20th century. The emergence of film and television made the director's re-creation based on film and television literary scripts, using montage thinking for artistic conception, and writing storytelling scripts and "director's explanation", including the conception of literary scripts, the grasp of the themes and ideas of directors' film and television works, the description of characters, the scheduling of scenes, as well as the time and space structure, the sound and painting modeling and artistic style, etc.

Then, they look for and propose to choose actors. According to the specific concept, they put forward requirements for the photography, actors, art design, recording, composition and other creative departments, organize the main creators to study relevant materials, analyze scripts, concentrate and unify the creative intentions, and determine the overall creative plan of film and television works.

The director also needs to lead on-site shooting and various post-production work in accordance with the filming plan arranged by the production department until all filming of the film and television works are completed.

Artistically, he does not obey leadership or obey orders, and the director is not the instructor of the film. The meaning of the director is to organize the film and the instructor of the film, which is equivalent to the brigade counselor in the brigade and the instructor in the army.

"Looking at the director's journey, it is not difficult to find that calling directors by soul or backbone is not an exaggeration, but a combination of reality." Chen Kexin talked.

"This year is a brilliant year for Chinese films, and this year's competition is also a year worth remembering. We have director Ang Lee, who won the Oscar for Best Director, participated, director Wang Meng, who created the box office record of Chinese films, and director Jiang Wen, who is persistent in using literary and artistic narration, and director Er Dongsheng, who always has delicate humanistic care and likes to portray the true faces of all kinds of people in society in the movie. To be honest, the four of them are all directors I respect very much."

He said with emotion: "Speaking of this, it was such an honor for me to win the best director last year. When you see the four people this year, you will find that if you don't make progress, you will be eliminated. Speaking of which, director is also a highly competitive profession."

"hehe……"

Chen Kexin, who has always been serious, suddenly laughed at her cold jokes.

However, in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, there are no less than a few hundred movies produced every year, and 70% of them have no chance to be released. Of the remaining 30%, 20% of the box office failed and they cannot recover their costs.

Only 10% can barely make a little profit, but 5% can be sold.

Even if you make a lot of money, you may not be able to win a prize. In this way, the directors who can stand here are all coming by thousands of troops.

This year, as mentioned earlier, "Lust and Caution" won all the awards and "Painted Skin" earned all the box office. The two Chinese films have bloomed a lot of colors and played a very important role in the rise of Chinese films.

Put aside artificial hype, put aside the opposition between "Painted Skin" and "Lust Caution" thrown out by the media.

Strictly speaking, this year was indeed a glorious year. According to Wang Meng's experience in later generations, now is the beginning of the rise of Chinese films.

The decade of 1997-2007 was the decade lost in Chinese films. With the Olympics next year and the rise of China's economy, the spring of films has officially arrived.

Wang Meng spent nearly three years to build a country, and this is the beginning of the future of great development.

The directors are not stupid. They can see the rise of the mainland film market and feel that future movies will be much easier.

"Painted Skin" broke through 300 million mark, pulling down "Titanic", and the overall box office continued to increase, which are all distinct signs that the box office of Chinese movies began to become stronger.

Putting aside business and art, let alone the secular point, box office is the first theme. If you don’t have box office, no matter how well the movie is filmed, it will be a sigh.

Only with the fruitful profits can more talents join the film industry and make more directors seriously think about how to make good movies.

Therefore, Chen Kexin's narration, especially the directors and producers, understands.

The clarion call for the rise is the commercial rise led by "Painted Skin" and the literary and artistic takeoff led by "Lust and Caution".

"Lust Caution" is an art film that won 160 million yuan in the mainland, and Ang Lee's honor and reputation are real.

To sum up, it is - this time, both Wang Meng and Ang Lee will accept it, even if they are two pornographic directors.

In fact, Wang Meng is also looking forward to it. It depends on how the organizing committee chooses. It is a choice between business and literature. This is definitely a difficult problem.

Of course, Wang Meng's "Painted Skin" is not as simple as business, and Ang Lee's literature and art are not literature and art that ordinary people can play with.

“The one who won the 44th Golden Horse Award for Best Director is…”

Holding breath, the stars kept silent, and there was not even a trivial sound.

Chen Kexin looked up at the audience and said loudly: "Wang Meng, from the film "Painted Skin""

After the announcement, Wang Meng sighed and chose a business tendency.

This is very different from the previous life. In the previous life, the Golden Horse became more and more petty, which led to few people who liked it, which was that the literature and art were too heavy and the protection of the calf was too obvious.

In short, fairness tends to be literary and artistic, and fairness tends to be Taiwanese directors.

And there are not many directors like Ang Lee, which are not good at Taiwan.

If a movie award is not strong, then it must be fair? It will not only be more and more regressive.

In the last life, Taiwan was not strong and liked to protect his children, which made it increasingly look down upon by everyone, and this life changed. Wang Meng felt a little relieved.

Don’t just think about it – Taiwan’s Golden Horse is down, it’s better to have the Golden Rooster Awards rise in the Mainland, the Hong Kong Film Awards are better like women with foot binding, and the mainland’s awards rise.

This is not the case. China is very big, or Chinese-language films are very big.

Only with many powerful awards can we meet the needs of more people and stimulate the sense of urgency of each award. Without the sense of urgency, there will be no motivation to make progress.

Look at how many awards there are in the United States and how many award ceremony there are, nearly a hundred.

This is the embodiment of prosperity. With greater competition, greater progress will be made. More filmmakers will be encouraged to enjoy the same amount of rain and dew. This is the progress of Chinese films.

Instead of competing with Hong Kong and Taiwan in China, it is better to work hard to resist the invasion of Hollywood and the invasion of Korean and Japanese.

"Crash..." The applause was thunderous!

"Congratulations."

"Congratulations to Director Wang."

The applause this time was particularly warm and lasted for a long time.

Ang Lee, who had a calm look on his face, got up first and hugged Wang Meng for congratulations.

Tsui Hark, Jiang Wen, Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei and others came forward to hug and shake hands one by one.

"This direction is very clear. It seems that I also have to pay equal attention to business and art. Let's make money first." Jiang Wen and Wang Meng said in Wang Meng's ear when congratulating him.

"You can find me to invest." Wang Meng replied calmly.

"No problem." Jiang Wen

"I'm more confident in my cooperation next year," Tsui Hark said.

"Me too."

"I'm going to the stage." Lan Xinmei on the stage saw Wang Meng talking with the people around her and reminded her.

Wang Meng walked onto the podium and took the trophy handed to him by Chen Kexin.

"I'm very surprised, very happy, well! Unexpectedly, it's natural. In short, it's hard to explain clearly." After Wang Meng took over the trophy, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Indeed, compared with the art of "Lust and Caution", "Painted Skin" is far inferior.

Perhaps not only is the commercial victory of "Painted Skin", but also the organizing committee saw the core of "Painted Skin" combining Chinese and Western styles. The emergence of this theme has allowed the organizing committee to see the driving force for Chinese-language films to go global.

Maybe there are many reasons in this regard, so I would like to encourage Chinese filmmakers to make bold breakthroughs.

"Thank you to the Golden Horse Organizing Committee, thank you everyone, and also thank my good friends Director Lee Ang, Director Jiang Wen, and Director Er Dongsheng. I will not hypocritically say thank you for your humility, and that will disrespect you, me, and the organizing committee. I just said - thank you for being my opponent, which makes me dare not be negligent."

Crazy...

Wang Meng's eloquence has been getting better and better recently, and this is very helpful to everyone.

"Thank you all the fans who support me, thank you for my company Dream Factory, thank you for all the staff of the "Painted Skin" crew, thank you for my family, my parents, and my sister, thank you for my love Jiang Shuying, thank you for my school theater, thank you..."

Wang Meng never missed a series of thanks, especially in the dispensable schools.

Wang Meng said that he is still a student now. So? Anyone who has any thanks will never forget the drama.

This move has benefited the leaders of the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Who is unhappy with such a respectful teacher?

"Director Wang, you have the final director. What do you have to say?" Lan Xinmei said in an interview.

Wang Meng waved her hand and burst into laughter and cried, saying, "There is nothing to say. I even want to criticize some boring media. My relationship with Ang Lee has always been a good friend. You see what these media said, it has become a sad person for life and death. Boring, boring, and too boring."

Ha ha……

‘Brother Meng’ has always liked to show off, but this time it started again and started criticizing the media again. This is not the first time anyway.

"Of course, without them, our works cannot be well-known. We should thank them for speaking of them." Wang Meng smiled.

The host who was confused about the conversation was speechless.

"Movies must always be tested by the market. There are no losers and only those who are careless. It is my honor to get them, and I will be calm if I lose them. In short, thanks to the Golden Horse Organizing Committee for their attention, thank you."

After Wang Meng finished speaking, he raised the Golden Horse Trophy.

Amid applause, Wang Meng walked off the podium.

After winning the Best Director, Wang Meng knew that the biggest award, {Best Drama Award}, had nothing to do with him.

result!

"The best drama film that won the 44th Golden Horse Awards is - "Lust and Caution".

"Congratulations to "Lust and Caution"...Congratulations to Director Ang Lee...Congratulations..."

"Crazy..." drowned in applause...
