Coquettish Rebirth

Jia Hongjian is not in China, he doesn't know how popular his name is in China now!To be honest, if he saw it, he would be surprised to find that there were as many reports on him in China as after Mo Yan won the Nobel!To be honest, "Red Sorghum" filmed by Zhang Yimou in the 80s was originally adapted from Mo Yan's novel of the same name.But before Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, how many people in the country knew about him?What happened after Mo Yan won the Oscar?Not to mention that everyone knows it, that's about the same. In the end, there was even a "Mo Yan's former residence" in his hometown!

Of course, the matter of Jia Hongjian will not be called "Jia Hongjian's former residence" by the people around him. After all, Oscar is still far behind the Nobel Prize in terms of politics and academics.But the level of attention from the media is really about the same!In fact, think about it, before Ang Lee won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in history, how many people in mainland China knew who Ang Lee was?But after winning the best foreign language film, what is the praise of Ang Lee in China?Especially after Ang Lee has not changed his nationality for many years and still maintains his household registration in Dawan, it is even more attractive to report.

In fact, for comparison, from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in 01 to the Oscars in 2012, how many people can know the name of the director of the best foreign language film in more than ten years?If it weren't for Ang Lee being Chinese, would he be so famous in mainland China?It's not even mentioned that he made a movie like "Brokeback Mountain", let alone that he made a movie about "Hulk". Before he made "Hulk", he only won one Oscar for best foreign language film How many people in China knew him when he was a child?Comparing him with foreign directors who have won Oscars for the best foreign language film, we can see how powerful the Chinese media is!

On Jia Hongjian's side, his treatment was much higher than Li An's!This Jia Hongjian was originally the son of the richest man in China. In addition, he had already managed Ang Lee's film last year and won the award for the best foreign language film. best movie.And he was the one who went up to accept the award. Isn't the domestic media crazily praising him?How much has the domestic media praised him so much?I don't know that he is still in the United States. Now in China, it is almost to the point of "making him a god". At least in the field of movies, it is all kinds of boasting!

And it’s okay to boast, the most important thing is to report all kinds of small things, as if Jia Hongjian’s greatness and success can be highlighted in these small things.For example, Spielberg first made a movie like "Saving Private Ryan".After some interviews with Jiang Wen and others, everyone knows that Spielberg came up with this film under the inspiration of Jia Hongjian!According to Jiang Wen, it was when Jia Hongjian told Spielberg about the college students rescuing the excrement workers in the 80s in mainland China, which triggered Spielberg's thinking about who is more important in human life , and then gradually came up with the idea of ​​discussing such a proposition in the war, and then came "Saving Private Ryan".even.Still under the influence of Jia Hongjian, this Spielberg also changed his original idea of ​​making a film in the European theater of World War II to filming the Chinese battlefield!It can be said that the success of such a movie is really because of Jia Hongjian!

At the same time, one or two years later, Spielberg once filmed a "literary film" in China, which was about a young foreigner who took a bus in China, but got off the bus and an old lady fell down.In the movie, no one saw whether the old lady was knocked down by a foreign young man, but the old lady said it was a young man!Although such a movie did not do well at the Chinese box office that year.It didn't even arouse much reaction, but now listening to Jiang Wenyi, this film was also Jia Hongjian's idea!It was Jia Hongjian who thought of the story of a young man bumping into an old lady, but no one saw the process, and Spielberg was inspired to make such a movie!

Then, "Tang Monk's Fantasy Journey" was Jia Hongjian's idea again, so the media immediately felt that Jia Hongjian was the rhythm of a new Chinese film master!In fact, in the eyes of insiders in the film industry, the level of Chinese films cannot be improved by just one or two masters.It must be progress in all aspects to improve the level.But where do the media care about this!The media are responsible for grabbing attention!Therefore, according to the media reports, Jia Hongjian is still fledgling. If he is good enough in time, he might be able to direct movies in person!At that time, Jia Hongjian had his own magical ideas, plus the various shooting techniques he had learned, and he might become a film master representing China and becoming famous all over the world!Just like Akira Kurosawa in Japan!

You must know that Akira Kurosawa not only has a high status in the Japanese film industry, but also a high status in the international film industry!This is Akira Kurosawa's first independent film "Zisan Shiro", although many young people may not have seen it until now.But I have also heard such a name, and this film was filmed in 43!Later, Akira Kurosawa made "Rashomon" even though the box office in Japan was poor.But the international influence is huge, it is directly on the rhythm of the Oscar for best foreign language film, and the box office in the United States that year was actually very good!It's a bit like last year's Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" - Ang Lee's films did well at the box office in the United States, but the box office in China was a mess.

It was because of such a "Rashomon" that Akira Kurosawa suddenly became Japan's "Movie Emperor", and the so-called "Movie Emperor" Kitano Takeshi was still organizing a group to talk about cross talk at this time, and he was still in Japan. A very well-known cross talk actor too!And Takeshi Kitano really rose internationally and was regarded as a director of the same height as Akira Kurosawa. That was not until "Hanabi" in 1997! 1997 is only a few years away from now?How can there be film masters in Japan, but not in China?And when Jia Hongjian became famous, he was much younger than those like Kitano Takeshi Kurosawa!So it can be said that the domestic media really over-promoted Jia Hongjian at this time, and started interviewing his former teachers, classmates, neighbors, etc., and even started interviewing Zhang Yimou!Because isn't Zhang Yimou going to collaborate with Jia Hongjian on a new "Hero" film?

How can Zhang Yimou say that Jia Hongjian is not good at such a time?So when being interviewed, this old man who is not very good at words, then commented on Jia Hongjian like this-"Mr. Just like the speech at the Shanghai Theater, all the students in the audience were so moved that they were willing to call Jia Hongjian Teacher Jia, even I would. Because Teacher Jia pointed out our way out and reminded us Let’s talk about the difficulties we will encounter, and even tell us what to do after encountering difficulties. After hearing these suggestions, I really feel that the road ahead is brighter, and I don’t feel like groping in the dark! On the other hand, after working with Mr. Jia, I really discovered that Mr. Jia's vision and thinking are really at the Hollywood level. Originally, the scripts we prepared were not top-notch in China, at least they were at a relatively advanced level, but After showing it to Teacher Jia, he immediately raised a few questions and told us how to do it and how to do it to achieve good results..."

Listen to what this old Mouzi said, is it true?Not too much praise, right?But in the eyes of the media, these things are super worth exaggerating to promote!So all of a sudden there were headlines like "Zhang Yimou is willing to worship Jia Hongjian as his teacher" on the media!Is this horror horror?But to put it bluntly, Lao Mouzi couldn't sue others, because he himself said he was willing to call Jia Hongjian a teacher.Calling someone a teacher, isn't that what it means to call someone a teacher?But under such a kind of publicity, it definitely seems that even the top directors in the country think that they are much worse than Jia Hongjian!And Jia Hongjian, a young man in his 20s, suddenly seemed to have a talent beyond genius!The media boasted so much, how could ordinary people doubt it?This is not the era when various media reporters in the later generations did not report ethically, which led to the loss of credibility!People nowadays think that as long as it is written in official publications, it is at least objective and credible!At least it won't be made up!

After the reporters found out that Feng Xiaogang had also attended a lecture at STA, some of the reporters went to interview Feng Xiaogang, and some interviewed the teachers and students of STA.Feng Xiaogang definitely had to give Jia Hongjian face at such a time!Now Jia Hongjian is obviously the biggest financial backer in the country, and he is also a producer with strong professional ability. If Feng Xiaogang wants to make big movies in the future, if he wants to go out of China and go to the world, why doesn't he hug Jia Hongjian?So at this time, he naturally wanted to speak well for Jia Hong's family, and everyone carried the sedan chair, so all of a sudden, headlines such as "Feng Xiaogang thinks he is far inferior to Jia Hongjian" also appeared!And the teachers and students of the theater spoke highly of Jia Hongjian!According to the teachers and students, when Jia Hongjian gave the lecture, what he said was really penetrating, heart-wrenching, and sincere!According to their thinking, it is not an exaggeration to award Jia Hongjian a Lifetime Achievement Award in various film and television awards in China!Even if Jia Hongjian is only in his 20s!
