Zhang Jizhong is a well-known TV producer and actor director in China, a visiting professor at Beijing Academy of Performing Arts, and a senior economist at CCTV China TV Production Center.
1, I shoot Mr. Jin Yong's drama far more than Taiwan Province Province and Hongkong, which is the result of our generation of TV people's continuous efforts.
2. Directors and actors need to talk about fate. There is an actor who wants to play my play. I don't think he or she is suitable. The actor I am looking for has a schedule problem and it is difficult to do a TV series.
We just want to tell people what the main melody is. First of all, the main theme should be touching. If you make a theme for a long time, it is not touching and disgusting. What is the main theme?
I am a producer, and I hope the director can film my role well. Within this range, everything can be done. It is my responsibility to give full play to the talent of squeezing the director as much as possible. If we deviate from these, we will deviate from our original intention.
The feeling of fairy tales is what people yearn for. It's not that fairy tales can be fooled, fairy tale emotions are not fairy tales, and emotions are the same as ours. If the feelings are different and surpass these things, it will be boring.
6. I am called a stupid person. I don't think it is necessary to be so precise in doing things. You said I had to haggle over whether Jin Yong was satisfied or not. I couldn't stand it, so I think I was dissatisfied first.
7. Successful works should be considered comprehensively. To have a good script, a good actor and a good investor is like a chain, and every link is essential. Another important point is how to grasp and organize these talents. It's important to have someone who can take care of the overall situation!
Jin Yong's works bring a sense of chivalry. The characters in his works will infect you, such as Guo Jing and Qiao Feng. Over time, these personalities will affect our own style of dealing with people. So I want to make his words into TV series and bring the chivalrous heart in his works to more people.
9. The word "Zhang Jizhong" has to represent a quality in the Jianghu.
10, real actors live for performing arts and live for roles. You should try your best to play the role that really suits you.
1 1. We are interdependent. If newspapers want to survive, we must also spread our ideas through the media. We are not gossiping, we are talking about creativity, but some media like gossiping, and you can't help it.
12, wild boar is also a pig, not a donkey! I didn't subvert the characters, I just recreated them!
13, I shot six Jin Yong plays, and the direct economic benefits are definitely not less than those of Xiaogang Feng, who has worked hard for ten years, but the most I really got was one tenth, and most of them were earned by the investment boss. People get rich by focusing. I just earn some intangible assets, but fame can't be bought with no amount of money.
14, don't say 90% against it, I don't care if it is 100% against it. Art is an artist's personalized expression, and art cannot engage in democracy.
15, the TV script is a headache, always getting up early and catching up late, constantly changing, so it is very different from this movie.
16, all investors make money, clap their shoulders and call you brother, and when they lose money, they turn their faces and call you a bastard.
17, I think (shooting Jin Yong's works) is like a series of projects. When I was shooting his novel, I felt a sense of pleasure. I think every play is different from the humanistic spirit depicted in his novels, and each play has its own wonderful place.
18, I think it's really tiring to always lead the team alone. Can you run for more than ten years without getting tired? It is not difficult for a person to shoot a good TV series. The difficult thing is that you always do those plays that others know.
19, CCTV is really a producer-centered system, which has been strengthened since I came. It's not that I am a very overbearing person, just stick to my own ideas. I'm not selfish. What I want to shoot today, I must achieve it. No, I'll change people! Remake!
20. Some actors are famous for their TV dramas and movies, and show contempt for TV dramas. This is not good either. You're on TV, too. Is it noble to make a movie? I don't think so. I think it's noble only if everyone loves you, not because you make movies and TV.
2 1, TV plays are different from movies. You only made the movie for an hour and a half, and you also made it for five months, right? So this is completely different from the movie. I can shoot one shot and two shots a day in the movie, but not in the TV series. TV series needs more than 100 shots, so this is also the quality of TV series. Why can't it be as high as the movie?

Excerpts from Du Qifeng's classic quotations.
Du Qifeng, a well-known Hong Kong-made film director and producer, has more than 25 years of experience in TV film shooting, and has supervised and directed more than 50 films. He is one of the most active and influential directors in Hong Kong today. He won the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Taiwan Golden Horse Award for Best Director three times, and nominated the Golden Horse Award for Best Director the most times. His works have been shown in overseas film festivals many times. Its * * * Galaxy image with Wei Jiahui, Tat-Chi Yau and others has created a new era of Hong Kong films, with a unique style, which has become a bright color in the Hong Kong film market after the new century and established a good reputation in the hearts of fans. He is also one of the main directors who created Hong Kong's epoch-making gangster films. Classic works include Dark War, Gunfire, Dark Flowers, Gangdom, pTU, Judo Dragon and Tiger List, Full-time Black Boy, Slimming Men and Women, Lonely Men and Women, High-altitude Love 2, Blind Detective and so on.
Du Qifeng's classic quotations:
Mainland directors are very good. They try their best to express social problems or people's current mentality. But I always feel that they lack some illusions to think about things that normal people dare not think about.
Brotherhood is just a dream. In reality, interests must be supreme. Whoever has benefits will get more benefits. This is a fact.
For me, movies are as inseparable as drinking water and eating.
A person's work can't be separated from the place where he was born, and he didn't deliberately limit himself. But the feeling is here, the inspiration has not dried up, and maybe it will not be felt in the future, but if you want to make a movie, you should look around.
Film Festival must be very important for filmmakers. What matters is not awards, but communication. Movie audiences all over the world rarely get together, except for a few year-round film festivals. The film festival is more like a party.
When inspiration dries up, rest. Only when you are in a good state can you feel the feeling of making a movie. Very tired, no desire to talk to people, how can there be a good movie?
I make a movie just because I hope it will live longer. People will still watch it in 50 years 100 years, which has nothing to do with box office and awards.
Art, like business, has secrets, and what I told you is a lie. What's the point if people lie to everyone and make superficial articles? I will keep it simple. I'm just a director.
You don't need to be a popular director. Directors who drink and talk about movies are actually selfish and hide their thoughts. Why should I communicate with you and share other people's ideas with you? Movies are very personal things. What is there to study?
I don't think awarding prizes is a very fair thing. Besides human factors, there are many other factors to consider. You see, many Hong Kong artists have won the best actor, but their acting skills are in a mess. They don't know what to play, and they don't know why he won the best actor.
Only by talking about love in an equal and simple environment can we see the most essential thing of love.
People who are healthy in the country will not be afraid, because the government will have a system to protect you, and most things are fair, so there is no need to use special money to protect themselves. In a truly peaceful and prosperous society or a harmonious society, people don't think money is very important at all.
My feeling is that China people lack discipline and respect in their growth training. I think the most important thing for a country is national education. The first thing in national education is to teach you to respect everyone and everything in this country.
A man who knows he must die must betray everyone in order to survive.
In today's society, people break up too easily. My parents weren't like this before. Nowadays, young people face too many choices. Slowly, love becomes less precious. Of course, I talked about precious love in the movie, but I think it is difficult for people to have eternal love.
It's not the same as when I was a child. Hong Kong is no longer the time for factory girls, garage boys, temple street queens and Tsz Wan Shan rotten boys to fight. White collar workers have become the mainstream class. The office is an important part of their lives, and it is also the battlefield and love field of their lives. It is easy for young people to sing when shooting scenes they are familiar with.
There is nothing to talk about because the film industry is in recession. This is my own choice. I shot; No matter how small, I will shoot. I just kept filming. No matter how bad the situation is, I haven't left the film industry. I don't want to go back. My idea is that I want to put my whole life in movies. I am not reconciled. I believe that movies will always exist in the world of China people.
Everyone wants to do something that he will remember forever, but he may not have the courage. Because people always doubt my ability to help others.
Since the film is a description of life, I will reveal the inevitable repeated mistakes in life and the meaning of life. Maybe that's why people say my movies are sad and gloomy.
Life is just a cycle. We always make mistakes in the same range. If we make mistakes, we will make mistakes and we can't get out. It's like being sick, look, and then wait until you get sick next time. But one day I will get sick, but I can't get well. People should live a wonderful life, not a dull one. But wonderful is not forever. However, as long as you choose such a beautiful time, you will not waste your life.
I never write a script. I go to the scene when I think about it, so sometimes I make a movie for two years, which is very romantic.
I won't go to the Oscars unless there is a change. If you see me going to the Oscar ceremony, it means that they have not changed, and I think their change is right.
Western journalists often ask this question. In their eyes, the two men in my play seem to be engaged in homosexuality. This style should be because I like reading martial arts novels since I was a child. I like Jin Yong and Gu Long, and I also like Zhang Che's movies. In this way, I will inevitably be affected.
I think a movie is finished, even if it is finished, it is hard for me to do anything else for this movie. I think selling movies is someone else's business. I am just a filmmaker. Maybe my principles are not correct, but this is me. I think the opportunity to make a movie is more important than anything else.
One day you see a piece of paper floating in front of you, and you suddenly have inspiration. After that, you will have some very different ideas. The movie is to express this very human thing, which is very enlightening. No matter what the final result is, I believe that we should motivate ourselves first.
Some directors will only shoot one kind of film from beginning to end; But there are also some directors who constantly seek innovation and breakthrough in the filming process, and even constantly transform themselves. With the change of years and life experiences, it is very logical.
People should live a wonderful life, not a dull one. But wonderful is not forever. However, as long as you choose such a beautiful time, you will not waste your life.
Excerpts from classic quotations of famous Hong Kong film director John Woo.
John Woo (1September 22nd, 946), a famous Hong Kong film director, screenwriter, producer and actor, is an influential figure in Asia and even the whole Chinese society. Originally from Pingnan, Guangxi,/kloc-0 was born in Guangzhou on September 22nd, 946. 197 1 filmed with Zhang Che, the most famous action film director at that time, at Shaw Film Company. 1986 directed the film "True colors of heroes", which caused a great sensation, became the highest-grossing film of the year, and won the Best Film and Best Actor Awards at the 6th Hong Kong Film Awards, creating a precedent for Wu's violent aesthetics. From 65438 to 0993, he jumped into Hollywood. With commercial blockbusters such as Broken Arrow, Face /OFF, Mission Impossible 2, etc., they became famous in the international film industry and established their position as A-level directors. He is the third China star to enter Hollywood after Bruce Lee and Cheng Long. In 20xx, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award of the 67th Venice Film Festival.
John woo's classic quotations:
The experience of life will experience the lessons of failure and the happiness of success.
Film is my lifelong career and my ideal. Although I succeeded today, I also hope to help others succeed, or see others succeed.
I don't think art and business can be separated too much, nor can we be too obsessed with business or art, and movies can have both business and art. Should be more tolerant.
Movies should not only pay attention to the domestic market, but also pay attention to overseas markets. Because if we can open overseas markets, then our film industry will have the motivation and creativity to maintain it, and it will last longer.
The lifetime achievement award is an inspiring role for me. Winning this award doesn't mean I want to retire. Winning the prize made me work harder and make more movies.
We can't be disappointed because a director doesn't perform well in a play. I have made disappointing movies myself, so if you really want to encourage some young people, do your best, no matter whether their performance is good or bad. As long as he has the heart, one can't, three can't, and the tenth can always be, right? It will succeed one day.
A movie is equal to a painting. After a painter finishes painting a picture, it no longer belongs to the author. In the future, it should belong to the audience, not to the spectators. They can feel anything they feel.
I have a change every ten years: in the first ten years as a director, I was making comedies; The second decade was a year of filming "The True Color of Heroes", all of which were heroic films; In the third decade, I made some movies in Hollywood, which was another different experience. The fourth decade is a new beginning in China and the mainland.
The aesthetics of violence is a title given to me by some critics. I think of course, when shooting action, there are some scenes that do not deliberately beautify violence, but when shooting, I feel that I am shooting an emotion, which may be deep, beautiful or chic, so I will express it in an aesthetic way.
The core of Hollywood is to take commercial films as the mainstream and the audience's love as the standard, but at the same time it has high-quality technology. In addition to high-quality visual elements, the theme of characters has been added.
It doesn't matter if you can't get the money for filming. That's what I am. Many people think I have a lot of money. In fact, I don't earn much money and my requirements are not high. I just live a decent life.
I think it is necessary to make a meaningful film now. I said that no matter how much money I make, as long as the movie comes out, I think I can find some meaning, I will only shoot it.
I don't think the agents are here right now. They overprotected the actors, and the play was still mediocre, so they packaged it as a big star, which made many outstanding young actors lose the opportunity to play.
China people's sense of justice and chivalry is really different from that of westerners. We can sacrifice ourselves for our country, for our ideals, for our friends and for our families, and die without regret. But they didn't. They think that a real hero can live without dying. You must survive before you can help others. If you sacrifice yourself to help others, you can't help more people in the future.
In terms of human nature, China and the United States have many similarities: they share joys and sorrows, have the same pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty, and have the same ideal life and sense of justice.
The society is more and more developed, and many people are more and more eager for quick success and instant benefit. Nowadays, many people have this chivalrous spirit, not necessarily in the use of knives, guns and force. In this society, there are many warm-hearted people who can see in the face of disasters such as Wenchuan earthquake and mudslides in Gansu. There are too many such examples. So this spirit exists in this society, but can we let it go and trust others so easily?
I hope I can not only make my own films, but also supervise more films, help some young directors and give them opportunities. Just like that year, someone filmed me. If China's films are to develop well, they must be diversified. Young people should be allowed to try different things, instead of everyone shooting costume films.
In the past, the tragic heroes in movies were all my personal reflections, or some roles I yearned for. With the growth of age, I feel that many things should not be too concerned about personal feelings. Society is a whole, and I take care of others' feelings. I can't stay on the romantic feelings of my personal hero any longer. I want to take care of most people's lives, feelings and common love.
I don't think you should care so much about being friends. You can't break everything because of a moment of anger. The world will never be stable. If people care too much about small holidays, people's lives will get worse.
The most important thing to be a director is two points: the first point is to appreciate and appreciate everyone's contribution; The second point is gratitude. Everyone's contribution makes a movie look better and feel more.
I pay attention to the spirit of martial arts, and I don't like fancy movements. You can call me old-fashioned or conservative, but I just don't believe that a person can fight a few rounds in the air. I don't believe that one can fight on the top of a bamboo pole. I like watching it because I think it is romantic. If I shoot, it won't happen.
Nowadays, although many China martial arts films are very popular, they have been successful all over the world. But martial arts films are only a part of us, and many people in many countries don't know enough about our culture and our spirit.
In the past, all my films were tragic heroes. Now that I am old, my outlook on life has changed a lot, but I am more optimistic. I think that what the audience thinks, wants to do, or attitudes are not so far away from the figures in the Three Kingdoms.
Americans are not romantic at all. We in China are the most romantic, and our romance is a kind of grace and feelings, including feelings for the country, friends and lovers, which exist no matter what age.
