1992, Wang Shuo entered the world of Jiang Wen with a "beast".

At that time, Jiang Wen said after reading the novel:

"I feel like a needle in my blood vessel, and the blood comes out. I also smell tibetan songs and the canteen."

1 992 may1day, Jiang Wen started writing the screenplay Sunny Days in a small house in Beijing.

In this small room of only 6 square meters, there is a table and a bed.

Jiang Wen adapted the 60,000-word beast into a 90,000-word sunny day.

At that time, Jiang Wenman confidently said:

"China so many directors which is good? Not now, later! who is it? Me! "

1994, the rough cut version of the film was brought to Venice Film Festival.

With this film, Yu Xia won the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival.

Since then, Sunny Days has become the dream starting point of China film industry.

And Ma Xiaojun in the film is Jiang Wen's metaphor at present: desperately integrating into the times, and it seems so out of place.

At one time, Jiang Wen just wanted to stand and earn money, shoot what he liked and read what he liked. He doesn't expect others to understand him.

But now Jiang Wen wants to be "likable".

What has Jiang Wen experienced in this difficult life?

1963, a boy named Jiang Xiaojun was born in the compound of Tangshan Military Region.

Father Jiang Hongqi is a soldier, and mother Levin is a primary school music teacher. The couple are often busy with work.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaojun lived with his grandparents since childhood.

Although no one knows the name of Jiang Xiaojun, the name of Jiang Wen has been confirmed.

From then on, the word film began to appear in Jiang Wen's world.

At that time, outdoor movies were often shown in the countryside, and Jiang Wen often lay on the back of his uncle or aunt.

He described the scene at that time:

Far away, I saw a white dot, shining and getting closer, and then I saw the swaying figure on it.

After 6 years old, Jiang Wen left Tangshan and began to live in Guiyang with his father's army.

But he still hasn't got rid of the habit of watching movies. From "Hanging the Red Lantern High" to "The Story of Treasure Island", Jiang Wen almost fell into the movie.

Seeing that it was time for education, 10-year-old Jiang Wen went to Beijing again and was admitted to Beijing No.27 Middle School within two years.

In the class, he is the youngest, surrounded by older brothers and sisters.

A young man named Ying Da made friends with Jiang Wen.

From 65438 to 0979, Ying Da was admitted to the Department of Psychology of Peking University, but Jiang Wen was rejected by the Beijing Film Academy.

Ying Da's buddy found Ying Ruocheng, his father, who is still the pillar of Beijing People's Art Platform, and personally tutored Jiang Wen.

The following year, Jiang Wen sat in the back seat of Ying Da and staggered to the examination room of the Central Academy of Drama.

But after three exams, Jiang Wen was brushed again, but happened to meet Zhang, the examiner.

Let's talk about why Zhang took a look at Jiang, and then talk about the passage of Chekhov's Chameleon that he recited in the examination room.

Look at Jiang Wen, Zhang. This is not something in the pool. Get him out of failure.

Later, Zhang commented on Jiang Wen: His pursuit of art is meticulous.

This sentence was later confirmed: Jiang Wen was really crazy about art.

As early as school, in order to shape the image of old workers, Jiang Wen squatted in the alley at the school gate to observe people coming and going.

After a series of rehearsals, Jiang Wen began to direct his own short play.

Some people say that his plays are better than those of the director's department, while others praise him for his good scheduling. At that time, Jiang Wen still didn't understand the meaning of scheduling.

He only knows who should be where.

Four years later, Jiang Wen, who is three years younger than others, has directed many plays.

After graduation, Jiang Wen was assigned to China Youth Art Theatre and began to perform and rehearse plays.

After a year of drama, director Chen Jialin took a fancy to Jiang Wen and decided to invite her to play Puyi in The Last Queen.

He found Puyi's documentary and the original "My First Half Life", watched it again and again, and kept it in mind.

Then he went to visit Puyi's younger brother Pu Jie.

According to Pu Jie's dictation, I restored the details of Puyi's living habits in my mind, and went home to lie in bed and told my brother Wujiang Puyi.

It is this true personality that made Jiang Wen's Puyi an instant hit.

Since then, I have been thinking about the "shortcomings" of Jiang's play, and now I follow him.

Especially in furong town directed by Xie Jin, Jiang Wen always changed his words.

However, Xie Jin was not angry. With Jiang Wen's temper, Xie Jin will praise him for everything he does well.

This makes Jiang Wen more and more publicity.

Jiang Wen's temperament was exposed when he collaborated with Zhang Yimou in Red Sorghum.

When making a movie, Jiang Wen always rehearses in the dormitory first, and then goes to Zhang Yimou when it is wonderful.

Many ingenious designs were conceived by two people together.

Sometimes two people will quarrel over the script, and this quarrel will be the end of the game, and it will be the scene of the Golden Bear Award at the 38th Berlin Film Festival.

Jiang Wen, who was standing on the plateau with bare arms at that time, was still thinking: I will make a movie one day.

After "Red Sorghum" was finished, Jiang Wen hurried to the cast of "Animal Year".

Director Xie Fei looked at him and said, "Your boy will be a director sooner or later."

When Tian Zhuangzhuang filmed "The Great Eunuch Li", Tian Zhuangzhuang encouraged him: "You direct, I will play for you."

Even Wang Shuo said: China needs such people.

But even with the highest praise from these people, Jiang Wen is still asking himself: Can it be done?

It was Wang Shuo who pushed him in the direction.

At that time, Wang Shuo walked into the door of the fifth generation directors in China with several "works".

At that time, Jiang Wen was still an actor, but when he saw Wang Shuo's beast, the heart of filming accumulated in his body began to act wantonly.

Finally, Jiang Wen entered the China film circle with Sunny Days.

On the opening day, Jiang Wen hung a banner over the crew.

There are twelve big characters on it: the sun shines forever, and Master Shuo is always awesome.

When it came, Wang Shuo didn't shine in the night sky forever, but appeared in a hurry and went to America in a hurry.

However, Jiang Wen, who was infected by Wang Shuo, ran away on this road of "artistic expression".

Can you turn around?

I can't.

When Sunny Days was filmed, Jiang Wen was 35 years old.

Five years later, director Jiang Wen made another film called "The Devil Comes".

He said that this film is just a summary of the 35-year-old self.

There happened to be a book in front of him called Survival.

So Jiang Wen nodded, and the movie was put on the agenda.

This film, like a sunny day, does not follow the routine, and often shoots wherever it wants, but the effect is surprisingly good.

In 2000, The Devil Comes won the jury prize of the 53rd Cannes International Film Festival, but Jiang Wen was not happy.

However, the film was banned for violating regulations, and Jiang Wen himself was banned from directing the film for five years.

Tens of millions of investments, lost everything.

But fortunately, the film has a good reputation, which has accumulated a good reputation for Jiang Wen, so that he can "make a living".

During the five years when he didn't direct movies, Jiang Wen was busy filming.

From Looking for a Gun, Heroes of Heaven and Earth, Green Tea, Letter from an Unknown Woman to Jasmine Blossom and Huang Taiji.

Six films were made in six years, and Jiang Wen was very satisfied, thinking that he had achieved high yield.

As time went by, Jiang Wen set out again and began to tell the next story, The Sun Also Rises.

At that time, "Rise" was not only a movie, but also a feeling that was crucial to Jiang Wen's future.

In 2005, 32-year-old Kyle had many years of TV production experience and made small achievements.

But he was not satisfied and always wanted to find the next challenge.

And he worships Jiang Wen. He thinks that the person who can make sunny days and devils come must be the most talented director in China.

On the recommendation of a friend, Kyle found Jiang Wen in the ancestral hall studio.

Two people talked for more than two hours, most of the time is Marco talking.

He said, "Jiang, you are a good director and I am a good producer. You need a good team to promote it. "

But at that time, Jiang Wen was still immersed in his own paradise and didn't take Kyle's words to heart.

But Jiang Wen remembered a young man with "old ginger".

In fact, before the film started shooting, Jiang Wen knew that the film could not make money, because he had long expected that the audience might not understand it.

Such a film is also a challenge for investors.

Yang Shoucheng of Britain is willing to vote for this film.

So Jiang Wen told him in advance that the film might not make money.

But Yang Shoucheng, who is proud and doesn't care about money, boldly said: Nothing, just shoot.

Although the matter of funds has passed, after the film was released, there were even bigger problems.

As Jiang Wen expected, the audience didn't understand, not only didn't understand, but also didn't want to pretend to understand.

In 2007, The Sun Also Rises suffered a great loss, which made Jiang Wen feel very uncomfortable and began to ponder the root of the problem.

At this time, the phrase "old ginger" evoked his memories.

So Jiang Wen picked up the phone and sent a short message to Kyle: "How is your brother?"

At this point, two 10-year-old rough men who love movies began to work together to create Jison, thus opening the era of "trusting horses and relying on ginger".

In 2009, Shi Xiang recommended The Story of Stealing Officials to Jiang Wen. After reading it, he and Kyle went to Chengdu to visit the author Ma Shitu.

Ma Lao asked: Who will make this film? Jiang Wen replied: I'll shoot.

Then Ma Lao smiled heartily and said, "Some of them have seen it."

After the copyright was finalized, Jiang Wen began to prepare the script. Revised 30 drafts, he finalized it, and started shooting.

With Kyle here this time, Jiang Wen doesn't worry about funding, and Kyle never interferes with Jiang Wen's understanding of creation, so that he can give full play to it.

One is for sale, and the other is for shooting.

After the film was released, Kyle said eight words to the publicity: a household name, known to all women and children.

In Let the Bullets Fly, Jiang Wen said: Translation, what is a surprise?

This surprise also made Kyle almost cry.

The reason is that he lost thirty million, but abruptly let Jiang Wen get it back for himself.

In the scene of the "Hongmen Banquet", wine is a crucial prop.

"Several hundred-year-old liquor brands want to be implanted, and the price quoted is as high as 10 million. The three of them are willing to go together, which means that they can earn 30 million yuan just for one scene. "

But Jiang Wen refused to invest, on the grounds that once the liquor brand came out, the audience was out. What do you think of this film?

Kyle was anxious to cry, but Jiang Wen said, "I'll get it back for you."

Only three unlabeled white wine bottles were put in the end.

Jiang Wen wanted to "earn money standing up" and finally realized it.

"Let the Bullets Fly" won the third place at the box office of 20 10 as soon as it was released.

It also triggered a nationwide upsurge of metaphor-seeking, but Jiang Wen of Honest Man said: "It's all true, there is no metaphor."

Some people like it, others still don't understand it. Jiang Wen seemed angry and decided to get another one that was understandable.

So "One Step Away" appeared.

This time, Kyle's demands are also very high. He said to artistic director Liu Qing:

"The colors should be highly saturated, and the rhythm should be fast, strong, vivid and infectious."

However, even though Jiang Wen worked hard to create this film, the audience still said that they couldn't understand it, and the box office was not satisfactory.

Jiang Wen wondered, saying it was a very simple story, an "embarrassing hero story".

But the fate of one step away is like when the sun also rises, and no one wants to buy it.

After 20 14, Jiang Wen waited for an opportunity and remained dormant for four years.

Finally, Jiang Wen read a novel called Chivalry, which was recommended by Shi Hang.

Jiang Wen looked at it and thought, Isn't it the same in our family?

He decided to make it into a movie, and this impulse came from the excitement of reading a novel for the first time.

Jiang Wen called the screenwriter Fei Li, and when they met, Fei Li was led into the darkroom by Jiang Wenling.

Drop the words "write" and Jiang Wen will leave this world.

Fei Li wrote for more than 400 days, during which he lost more than 40 kilograms.

Another screenwriter, Sun Yue, also said: "It is hard work to write a script for Jiang Wen.". "

Fortunately, the film "Evil Does Not Suppress Right" has achieved good results.

This time, what Jiang Wen wants to build is to let the audience "see comfortably."

After the film was 90% completed, Gao became the first audience.

After reading it, he said, "Hormones splashed all over the screen, and love and hate swept across your face."

Even such a high evaluation makes Jiang Wen nervous.

In order to promote the film, Jiang Wen appeared in the final of the talent show Creation 10 1 together with the cast of "Evil Does Not Suppress Right".

Jiang Wen stepped onto the stage, slightly stiff and embarrassed. Before he understood this process, he asked Bo Huang around him:

"I want to read a book? There are many words on it. Where do I start reading? "

Jiang Wen seems to have gone to the wrong set, and even some netizens said, "Jiang Wen really worked hard this time."

Since the Shanghai Film Festival, Jiang Wen has been haunting the Internet with his works.

This time, he tried his best to be "likable", which seemed more difficult than "standing to earn his money".

But Jiang Wen didn't leave room for himself this time.

However, under such extreme propaganda, "evil does not suppress right" did not set off any big waves. It was released for 25 days, and the comprehensive box office was 583 million.

But Jiang Wen said, "I bought this jiaozi for this vinegar."

The result of the film is good or not, which does not affect Jiang Wen's enthusiasm, but he is out of date and will follow suit today after all.

Is "standing to earn money" reliable?

Here in Jiang Wen, absolutely reliable, in his words:

"If you vote for me, I still have to choose whether you are reliable or not."

In Round Table, Wen Tutao translated: "You don't deserve to lose money with me."

Jiang Wen has never directed a film since 20 18.

But his films are always considered romantic. He said: Life is like this.

He also said: "I am not used to make movies, I am used to live, and movies are just coincidences."

For Jiang Wen, who supplements his days with movies, artistic expression is fate.

This "cultural man" who looks like a lout to the audience has lived a "heroic" life for most of his life.

As for how to be "likable" next, it seems that Jiang Wen himself doesn't quite understand it.

Or maybe, Jiang Wen still doesn't want to bend over and want to make money happily.

Whether he can get what he wants is still a beautiful unknown.

Wonderful in the past: the reform history of Deyun Society is really "one person gets the word, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven"

He Wei Yun, in this way, rewrote his ending. Did you regret coming back in the middle of the night?
