After watching "Spring in a Small Town", everyone generally thinks it is a good movie, but it is hard to comment on how good it is.

This does not mean that the people here are unprofessional and do not know how to appreciate movies, but that a movie needs to withstand the test of time.

Under the ruthless erosion of time, most movies disappeared from history, and what remains in people's memory is considered a classic.

For example, in Jiang Wen's "Sunny Days", the domestic film industry has not had a high evaluation of this film. The general consensus is that Jiang Wen has made new ideas, but the specific positioning of this film in domestic films is still not accurate.

Some people think that Jiang Wen broke through the dilemma of the fifth generation of directors and brought new vistas to domestic films.

Some people also think that Jiang Wen has deviated from the track of artistic creation and is too subverting tradition, which is not the right way.

Such debates will become more and more consistent over time.

After twenty years, the status of the film will be roughly judged. In fifty years, there will be a more objective and fair evaluation, which will be written into the history of Chinese films and the final conclusion.

"Spring in a Small Town" has just been filmed, and no one will hurry to make a conclusion that this is a classic that can be passed down.

Each of them talks about the film's camera language, the artistic conception expressed, and the actors' performances based on their own impressions.

Yu Feihong became a surprise. Everyone took it for granted by Director Chen and Wang Zhiwen's superb performance. Yu Feihong was still very young and took the lead in this film and successfully portrayed the image of Zhou Yuwen, a lonely young woman.

Some people even think that she may become the next Gong Li.

Of course, it is just possible that whether you can become Gong Li depends on her future works and performances.

In the end, the actor still has to speak on his works. If she can't meet a good role in the future, she will be left alone.

Everyone congratulated Tianshi. Since 1993, Tianshi has not made any films for four years, and it is a masterpiece when it comes to making a move.

This film has a good script and a good actor, and the director also makes a great contribution.

As a film theorist, Zheng Dongtian highly praised "Spring in a Small Town", and he felt that this was a return to tradition.

Over the years, starting from the fifth generation of directors, Chinese filmmakers have always praised Western films, art films imitate European films, and commercial films learn from the Hollywood model, but they have no traditions.

This tradition was founded and developed by previous generations of directors in China and is closely linked to the traditional culture of China.

It is possible to absorb and learn from Western art forms, but not to lose the cultural heritage of the nation. In this increasingly impetuous society, filming is more about pursuing interests and lacks cultural atmosphere.

There are traditional things in "Spring in Small Town", which require current film workers to carefully understand.

Zheng Dongtian is a representative of the fourth generation of directors and a member of the Cinema Bureau’s Censorship Committee. He has made great achievements in film theory and has a considerable influence in the domestic film circle.

This is a senior figure, and he said so to give this film a positioning.

It’s not because he is the famous director of this film that he said so. This is Zheng Dongtian’s true thought.

Moreover, his words will definitely be spread. Others will have to consider whether it is worth having a conflict with Zheng Dongtian on this matter. The movie circle is really not big.

So, ginger is still so spicy, which Zheng Dongtian intentionally did.

This internal screening was very successful. The film was sent to the General Administration for review two days later, and Zheng Dongtian's influence in the circle is also required.

"Thank you for Professor Zheng this time." After the show ended, Lin Zixuan thanked.

"I will bear the blame when something happens, and it is mine to have honors." Zheng Dongtian said with a smile.

This is a joke. Everyone in the circle knows that the film is filmed in a field shape. Even if you win the Best Director Award or something, those who understand it will not be counted on Zheng Dongtian. It is just a false reputation.

With Zheng Dongtian's status at this time, he didn't care much about this false reputation. He was more of a kind of protection for the field.

In the film circle, the support and help of seniors to their younger generations is also the tradition of Chinese films.

The two chatted for a few words and talked about Lin Xiaoling.

Zheng Dongtian felt that Lin Xiaoling should have finished her graduate school before filming. At that time, both her understanding of the movie and her mentality tended to be rational and mature, and she could avoid detours.

Lin Xiaoling is not very mature now and may encounter many setbacks.

At the Beijing Film Academy, Zheng Dongtian is a graduate supervisor in the director department, and it was his only word to ask Lin Xiaoling to take graduate school.

Zheng Dongtian emphasized that young directors should accumulate, be patient, wait for opportunities, and not blindly shoot movies. They should be clear about what they want to shoot. However, he does not understand the mentality of young people now.

Not many people are willing to learn theory in school. If they have some experience, they want to find funds to make movies, and become famous in the international film industry.

Times are different, life is getting faster and faster, and everyone has a sense of urgency that time is endless.

"There are not many female directors in our country. I think Kobayashi has the potential to make good movies. You, brother, should watch more," Zheng Dongtian explained.

Since Lin Xiaoling got her graduation certificate, she began to use the materials she brought back from Xiangjiang, the images of interviews in Xiangjiang.

The scenes of this documentary cover most tourist attractions in Xiangjiang, and the interviewees include locals, mainlanders, foreign tourists, etc., which look very unprofessional.

Lin Xiaoling did not tell the little tour guide who pretended to be a reporter what questions he asked. The little tour guide thought it was fun and the questions were very casual.

Basically, I ask whatever I think of, which makes the documentary look different from traditional documentaries, with liveliness and playfulness.

Lin Xiaoling is mixed with media reports on the return of Xiangjiang and various entertainment tabloids.

There is a newspaper where Ge You and Lin Zixuan were reported. From the newspaper, you can feel the various lives of this city.

What she wanted to reflect was the state of the entire Xiangjiang River on the eve of her return, not from an official government attitude, but from a private perspective, which was different from the perspective of the official report.

Lin Xiaoling gave the documentary a name, "Next Stop, Xiangjiang".

This was something she made on a whim. She spent more than a month making edits and just pretending it was for herself to practice.

Lin Zixuan thought it was quite interesting after watching it. Lin Xiaoling is talented in documentaries and is very good at grasping the angle.

This documentary may not be a big deal now. If you look at it ten years later, you may feel differently. In twenty years, Lin Zixuan thinks it will become a very meaningful video material.

This is the function of a documentary, not for people nowadays to watch, but for later generations. (To be continued.)
