Chapter 1734 Positive response
"It seems that we really say thank you deeply to those athletes who are bleeding and sweating on the court. It is you who have built a great wall of national honor in the international sports world with your hard work." Yi Min bowed solemnly and said with emotion, "To put it in an old saying, the country will not forget your hardships and efforts, and the people will not forget..."
Chen Kangjie thought to himself that he could only be a top athlete who achieved excellent results and would not be forgotten. Otherwise, the time for heroes would be very short, and some people won the championship. If they were not in the Olympics, they would easily be ignored and forgotten. There were athletes who won the World Championships gold medal. After retirement, they could not rely on a fixed income to support their lives, but could only make a living by selling their skills on the roadside. Such examples are definitely not one or two, but this is a system problem. Chen Kangjie is not omnipotent, and this system is difficult to change for the time being.
"LONG, let's talk about your identity as a director. To be honest, in my heart, your identity as a director is the most surprising and incredible to me." After sighing, Yi Min continued to normalize the topic.
"Why?" Chen Kangjie asked.
"Because in my opinion, the requirements for being a director are higher than others. For example, as an athlete, you can rely on systematic training and talent to achieve results that others cannot achieve. Music can have inspiration. Even if you write, I can barely understand it. However, you are so young that you actually became a film director, and you are not an ordinary film director. In our history, before you, no one has won an Oscar award, but you have created one miracle after another. Being a director, especially being a good director, also requires spirit. Feelings and talents, but this may require more skills and systematic accumulation, and the grasp of various emotions and social aspects may be deeper and more detailed. How did you do this? Not to mention that you have not studied in the film director major, but even studying in amateur, I don’t think there is a master-level director in China who can be called your teacher, how did your ideas and methods come into being, and why you can make one movie after another that is obsessed with domestic and foreign audiences.” Yi Min asked in confusion.
"Well... this question is a bit difficult for me to answer. If I say that I can do what I need, I rely on my own learning methods to learn. In fact, there are teachers in any learning. There are people who learn without a teacher. It is too rare and rare. In filming, I did not learn from any director in China, but someone has taught me, and I can be called my enlightenment teacher." Chen Kangjie replied.
"Oh, who is so amazing that he can enlighten such an outstanding student as you, this director has made extraordinary contributions." Yi Min's mouth turned round, and she couldn't wait to ask after being surprised.
The college students below all stretched their necks, especially several film school students, who even stared at their eyes and raised their ears. They also wanted to see which amazing director had such skills. If possible, they would also ask the director to learn a few tricks. Maybe when they would become a big director.
"I taught basic skills in filming. It was the new generation of director Liu Weiqiang from Hong Kong. I studied with him for a while in Hong Kong." Chen Kangjie replied directly.
At this time, Liu Weiqiang had already made his mark in the film industry and achieved good results and fame. Therefore, although the director is the behind-the-scenes figure, some people already know him. After hearing this name, the students from the film academy were shocked and disunderstood. They knew that the director also recognized his skills to a certain extent, but... they also felt that there was still a big gap between Director Liu and Chen Kangjie.
"Director Liu Weiqiang, I know that the "Young and Dangerous" series, which has been popular among young people in recent years, is his works. Although his works have achieved good results in China, if I don't respect them, it may offend Director Liu... The path he takes seems to be very different from the path you take, and your shooting style and shooting techniques are also very different. I don't understand how he can enlighten you and teach you skills. You won the Oscar a few years ago, but he..." Although Yi Min didn't finish his words, the meaning he wanted to express was already very clear.
Speaking of which, Yi Min is already very polite. What he actually wants to express is that Director Liu's ability is not qualified to be an enlightenment teacher for Chen Kangjie. He is taking the path of pure business. Although Chen Kangjie also takes the path of commercialization, he has obviously improved his artistic level to a greater level, which is mainly reflected in the two movies "Titanic" and "Forrest Gump". Although these two movies do not reflect oriental stories and oriental values, while becoming popular at the box office, their artistic nature is also widely praised. Even in domestic film professional courses, these two movies have been studied and discussed. There is no doubt that if someone continues to write the history of movies in the future, the name LONG and those two movies will be difficult to bypass.
"The enlightenment teacher is just bringing you into a certain industry, but it does not mean that he must have achieved great success. As the saying goes, the younger generation pushes the older generation forward, and the younger generation is better than the younger generation. If I do too badly, does that prove that this teacher is worse? The logic cannot be like this. Many of our enlightenment teachers of Chinese studies are basically unknown. They do not necessarily have to be Chinese studies masters. There is no such reason. They just need to bring this student in, teach him some of the most basic things, and cultivate students' interests. This is enough. Moreover, I have already said that he is just my enlightenment teacher. In recent decades, all outstanding film directors have been my teachers. I love watching movies, so whenever I watch a movie, I will think about the opposite content settings. The old saying goes, I read 300 Tang poems well, and I can’t recite poems. After watching so many movies and thinking about so many, wouldn’t I be too stupid if I don’t have some inheritance?” Chen Kangjie gave himself a nonsense excuse to mock him, “I have to emphasize that when I look back, many foreign directors are role models for me to learn, but I have taught me personally, director Liu Weiqiang is the only one who is my teacher.”
Chen Kangjie's interview can be regarded as a big advertisement for Director Liu. After Chen Kangjie's remarks, the movies produced by Director Liu are obviously very different in popularity. Many people have a good impression and support for him because he is Chen Kangjie's teacher. Director Liu's previous popularity was mainly in Greater China and some Southeast Asian countries. After Chen Kangjie's pointing out this time, he began to develop towards the international director's path. The next "Infernal Affairs" he filmed is the best footnote.
"Oh, I'll understand if you say that. Next time, I plan to interview Director Liu and have a good talk about his enlightenment training for you. I'm still curious about this." This sentence was added by Yi Min himself and has not been previewed before.
Chen Kangjie smiled and replied casually: "Just hope he doesn't reveal my embarrassing things too much."
Chen Kangjie said this a pun, and he responded to Yi Min's words jokingly, which was equivalent to passing the message to Liu Weiqiang. He said what he should say, but he should not say what he should not say.
"Hahaha, the whole world cares about your embarrassment, but unfortunately I haven't found much so far." Yi Min smiled heartily, "Then let me ask, in two years, you have not had new movies released. I believe that fans all over the world are looking forward to it because the learning task is heavy, don't have time to make movies or something. Also, I think that if you have such a good image, if you don't present the following on the screen, it will be a waste of resources. I don't know when you will star in the movie you shot."
"There has not been a new movie in the past two years. You have already answered it for me. Indeed, due to academic reasons, I don't have much time to go out to shoot, but I believe everyone doesn't have to wait too much time. If nothing unexpected happens, a new movie will come out in the second half of this year or the end of the year. In this regard, I have already taken time to do some related work." Chen Kangjie picked up the water cup in front of him and took a sip and said.
After talking a lot, Chen Kangjie's voice was dry and he drank water to moisten.
"What kind of subject matter is it or a story about the West?" Yi Min actually knew the answer, but according to logic, she still had to ask this.
"No, no, this time it's a story about the East, or there is a fusion of East and West. In this new movie, there will be many familiar Eastern Hosts appearing in it. In fact, there are already some intermittent news in front, and I believe some people have heard of it." This is the first time Chen Kangjie responded to the new movie.
"Haha, the words come out of your mouth, and some rumors have finally been confirmed by authoritatively. So I just said that your image is so good, and not appearing on the screen is a waste and a crime. Do you also confirm that will you play the leading role in this movie?"
"Are you praising me or hurting me?" Chen Kangjie smiled, "I can only barely meet people, haha, but in order to ensure that this movie is not losing money, I have a little fame at least, and I want to try to see if everyone will buy it this time. So, I am one of the leading actors in this movie. I hope that my performance will not make everyone complain or scold me at that time." Chen Kangjie said modestly.
