On Friday night, even in a slow city like Suzhou, the streets are jammed as soon as I get off work. I made an appointment with a friend of science and engineering to see it. I hurried to the cinema after dinner. This is really a long trip.

I was the first to know that this movie was a hot speculation on the Internet. Mr. Fang, the producer of this film, knelt down and asked for more films because there was no room for foreign blockbusters.

Then I thought, I must come to see this movie.

The world is really hostile sometimes, which makes the attitude of a cultural person so low. Naturally, its voice is so low that the public can hardly hear it. Only sincerity from the heart and another level of performance art can you know.

The cinema is sultry, but fortunately, this film can quickly immerse people in it.

Pastoral photography is clean, simple and poor, and the children's faces are black, yellow and strong, which is simply a replica of our childhood after 80/90.

A feeling of intimacy back to childhood, with the changes of the film, poured in from all directions.

Tian Ming and Aquamarine, two children who learned suona from the master, finally only Tian Ming, who was kind enough to shed tears for his father, became the master's apprentice and learned to play "A Hundred Birds in the Phoenix".

The story of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix is that a long time ago, when the birds were dying of hunger due to the drought in the mountains, the phoenix opened the cave, distributed food, won the love of the birds, and was elected the king of the birds. Therefore, every year on Phoenix's birthday, a hundred birds will pay tribute, so it is said that a hundred birds will pay homage to the phoenix.

In other words, this piece of music is only worthy of being appreciated by highly respected people.

It can be seen that it is a glorious thing to learn to kill hundreds of birds in Phoenix. In the words of Tian Ming's father, it is not only the ancestral graves that smoke, but also the flames.

However, the era of ritual collapse and bad music.

Playing suona is becoming less and less popular in the village, and the income is getting less and less. Finally, the old man in the village died. After inviting Tian Ming's family travel class, western bands and sexy women wearing leopard prints were invited to sing. Obviously, everyone is willing to listen to western bands, but in the end, they are angry and lose their dignity. From then on, the family tour class was also disheartened.

As I watched it, I thought, even I like to listen to the rich rhythm and sometimes gentle and sometimes passionate emotional expressions of western bands. In contrast, suona is noisy and really not elegant enough. Yes, because I am also a layman, but who doesn't feel sad to really see the culture left by our ancestors replaced by the western world?

This is a kind of fate.

Suona is like this movie, fewer and fewer people will go to see and listen to such a purely artistic thing.

However, the drunken master, pulling the suona, just fell asleep with a smile and said, the suona is not for others, but for himself.

The master has understood where the final destination of the suona is.

Art film has long lost its position as a plush chair in such a big environment as China where entertainment dies.

In any country in the world, commercial films are the absolute protagonists of cinema lines.

In fact, it also pursues artistic expression, but at the same time pays more attention to the results of commercial operation. Its purpose is to maximize market benefits-that is, to make money.

When it comes to how art films make money, we can refer to some commercial blockbusters made by Lao Mouzi in his early years.

Heroes, flying in ambush on all sides, the city is full of golden flowers, etc. Is it a commercial film that can make the audience want to see spontaneously? Yes Is there any artistic expression in it? Great!

The beauty of Hanfu in Hero is beautiful, smart, clean and profound.

You should know that the costume designer of Hero is Ms. Emi Wada, a famous Japanese film costume designer. She herself won the Oscar for Best Fashion Design. The costumes in the film are full of oriental aesthetic ideas, especially Zhang Ziyi and Maggie Cheung, which are romantic, elegant and beautiful in a golden deciduous forest, just like a gorgeous dance performance.

Every shot is a painting, which is a blank space that absolutely satisfies the audience's aesthetics.

Coupled with Tan Dun's music, vicissitudes, romance, deep blend, ethereal and ethereal and profound.

These are other forms of art in movies.

And Xiaogang Feng's The Banquet, which was well received and full of praise.

Zen Buddhism and court murder mixed together, forming a magnificent movement of sadness, resentment and deep involvement.

None of them belong to art films, but they have commercial packaging and are very successful.

However, at present, where are pure art films and art cinema?

Art films emphasize the creator's personal thinking and personalized expression. As we all know, people who are purely artistic never bother to attract producers to cater to investors' tastes again and again. Therefore, their sources of funds are bound to rely more on various cultural film and television funds, and their demands for commercial interests are relatively weak, and ultimately they cannot occupy the market.

The reason why Zhang Yimou's pen and ink are mentioned here is also because he has a great relationship with Wu, the director of "A Hundred Birds Showing the Phoenix".

Wu supported many fifth-generation directors and was one of them.

It is said that Wu was 72 years old when he wrote The Order of the Phoenix, and he was dissatisfied with many drafts of the script. Finally, he even closed it for a month and a half, changed it word by word, and often changed it to crying. Because he wants to tell his beliefs through "A Hundred Birds at the Phoenix". On February 20 14, The Phoenix Hundred Birds was finally produced, and he died only one month later.

Leaving such a work of faith.

If the kneeling of the producer Mr. Li Fang calls back the pure true values that have long been lost in everyone's hearts, then it is destined to be temporary. After watching it quietly in the cinema, everyone will devote themselves to the endless desire to show off in the circle of friends, cheat in the workplace and buy a house and car.

"The growth of a young life" and "the disappearance of a life" are our life trajectories and the inevitable fate of spiritual inheritance.

Even if the number of films is increased, even if it is not crushed by competitors, not many people will watch it. Because they no longer recognize the values there and recall the lost rural life, people have found a suitable and decent position on the road of urbanization.

Violent patriarchy, kneeling ceremony, and the struggle about whether to leave the country have no empathy or curiosity. It was a transitional period and has long been forgotten.

Some people can read, some people can remember, some people can write in words, such as me. . ), is it the best ending?
