The great director sincerely reflects, and the audience does not need to "break the defense"

　　Recently, the famous director Xu Anhua talked about the regrets of the movie "Golden Era" in a keynote speech, especially the frank expression of regrets for Tang Wei's performance, which aroused heated discussions among netizens.

Many people misunderstood Xu Anhua's sincerity as dissatisfaction with Tang Wei and "picking criticism", thinking that the director did not take responsibility.

In fact, a director like Xu Anhua who persistently pursues the "truth" of creation, sincerely expresses, reflects, and analyzes himself, and even doesn't care much about the world, and is not afraid of misunderstanding by outsiders, is very powerful and respectable, and Tang Wei's personal strength and achievements are also very powerful. You will not be denied and belittled just because of a word from others.

A great director with outstanding achievements made a sincere self-confession for a masterpiece with numerous awards. In fact, the "melon-eating" people don't need to be indignant about the actors. Behind this heated discussion are many more worthy of attention.

　　Xu Anhua's keynote speech talked about the actor cooperation of "Sister Tao" and "Golden Age". It can be seen that Xu Anhua's filming status with Ye Dexian and Andy Lau is very different from Tang Wei's filming status.

In the filming environment of "Sister Tao", they argued, even quarreled, and got angry. Everyone could express their opinions, and then the show was finished.

During the filming of "Golden Age", Xu Anhua self-analyzed that she was ignorant of many of Tang Wei's actions at the time. For example, Tang Wei asked whether to speak dialect to play Xiao Hong, but Xu Anhua had not thought about this issue before; Tang Wei took the initiative to stay with the director. Play chess together, talk about life, and get to know each other. Xu Anhua also doubts whether this kind of communication is useful; Tang Wei reads Xiao Hong's book, and goes to Xiao Hong's hometown and cemetery to experience life. Nothing is solved; Tang Wei's cold, hungry scene as Xiao Hong is totally wrong, but she offers no guidance as a director.

Xu Anhua repeatedly emphasized that everyone was ready, but the scene was wrong, which made her most regretful, because she would never have the opportunity to make such a movie again.

Xu Anhua also admitted that she had an understanding of Xiao Hong's role at the time, but it was not formed and stable, and she put it in her head, and she didn't tell Tang Wei that she didn't understand it clearly at the time, and the problem was really her problem.

In Xu Anhua's follow-up speech, it can be seen that she has thoroughly figured out Xiao Hong's image and Tang Wei's problems in the following years. She talked about how to shoot many details of the characters, why Tang Wei is wrong, and how to act. .

It is the regret of the powerful artistic creation that makes Xu Anhua reflect and share her true thoughts.

　　Xu Anhua's evaluation of Tang Wei in this speech has become the focus of everyone's attention. Many viewers think that "the failure of a movie can never be the fault of any actor", "the director should be the first person responsible for the movie" and "film is the art of directing". You can’t expect all actors to be geniuses.”

There are also many people who only listened to a few words of Xu Anhua, or even understood a little, and began to "crusade" her, thinking that after many years, the director dumped the "responsibility" on the actors, how deep is the "dissatisfaction" , criticizing the director for "targeting" Tang Wei and exposing Tang Wei, everyone quarreled.

　　Of course, Xu Anhua's speech did not completely attribute her regrets about art to Tang Wei. Her self-analysis was full of helplessness and deep regrets, but this kind of sincere analysis involving actors was inevitably considered by netizens as "inappropriate, no Need to say".

Of course, there are also people who recognize and understand Xu Anhua very much. They think that as an intellectual director, she maintains the greatest respect and recognition for actors, but she has no choice but to sacrifice art; "Bad guys" cannot use their own means to control the process and actors in the complex system of a commercial blockbuster.

　　Xu Anhua, as a very artistic director, also has strong inner toughness.

She said that speaking these out, first of all, she doesn't mind, and second, because she "is not much better herself."

This sincerity is admirable.

It can be seen that Xu Anhua may have given up controlling the actors when filming "The Golden Age". There may be many complicated reasons that make it difficult for her to control the actors, but all roads lead to Rome. She hopes that the actors will not violate the logic of the plot and perform their own roles. Features are fine.

But what Xu Anhua met was Tang Wei, who had ups and downs in acting, had her own temperament and characteristics but might not fit the role, and this problem became very complicated. If the director did not communicate, the actors would not be able to understand the role, and they were filming an era movie at the same time. For works with complex backgrounds, unique characters, and a grand vision of literary history, the performance in the movie will become a disaster.

Xu Anhua's attitude towards actors is even more seriously reflected in the movie "The First Incense".

　　Xu Anhua's sincere self-analysis has also triggered discussions on some issues in the industry, such as whether front-line actors need the presence of performance directors, the balance between directors and actors, whether directors like Xu Anhua are only suitable for stylized works, and whether the filming environment is suitable. How complicated etc.

But in Xu Anhua's regrets, everyone has seen that no matter how powerful a creator is, he has his own limitations, and this limitation will make people regretful and painful.

Xu Anhua's public self-reflection and even self-criticism are really precious in the film and television industry.

Compared with being a good teacher, female directors' self-reflection and self-growth can attract the public to think deeply about artistic creation, which is more valuable.
