Huang Lei unveiled the great contrast outside the director’s work.
Cheng Er: I hope to soothe the hearts of more viewers.
The box office of "Nobody" has exceeded 700 million, from the small details of Napoleon and coffee in the plot, the emotional eye play and the huge reversal at the end, all of which have become the material for the audience to repeatedly appreciate the taste.
Huang Lei, Cheng Er
In the face of various controversies related to Nobody, Director Cheng Er frankly expressed his thoughts. Regarding the mixed evaluation of the film, he said that he accepted it completely: "I hope that the future works can stand from a larger perspective and soothe the hearts of more audiences. As a filmmaker, he should have a humble soul and convey simple emotions."
As a director’s friend for many years, Huang Lei revealed a little-known side of Cheng Er: "He is very rough in life and eats whatever he wants. However, it was very detailed when filming, and there was no waste of pen and ink on each character. " Although "Nobody" is considered by some audiences to be not a happy family, director Jia Zhangke said that he enjoyed it in the cinema: "The charm of history lies in its various possibilities and conjectures, which will bring us many pleasant things and thoughts. I witnessed the brewing and completion of "Nobody", and the works directed by Cheng Er have a stronger appeal than the classic narrative. "
Peking University students praise Cheng Er’s aesthetic attainments.
Jia Zhangke sincerely sends a message to China movies.
The dialogue scene of "Nobody" was almost packed, and many students of Peking University were already two-brush films, still amazed by the aesthetic attainments of director Cheng Er. After watching the film, everyone felt deeply, and the questions raised were all with sharp thinking. Some students paid attention to the film’s depiction of "the land of hometown" for many times, and Jia Zhangke deliberately interpreted it: "Old Shanghai often reminds people of the colorful and modern world. In fact, almost all the families of thinkers and revolutionaries in that era were peasant children, and the land revealed the identity change behind well-dressed people and their pre-history. This is also the difference between "Unknown" and other spy wars and old Shanghai movies. "
Some students also pay attention to the fact that the role played by Huang Lei is the only person wearing a robe in the film. It turns out that such details are also the director’s ingenious design: "Mr. Zhang is at the fusion point of the old and new times, bearing old morality and facing new morality, so he can be seen in the film wearing both a robe and a suit." It shows Cheng Er’s rigorous design of film details.
At the end of the conversation, several guests sent sincere wishes to China films and young people. Director Jia Zhangke once again expressed his love for the film: "There are many characters in Nobody, but every face is in line with our imagination of the 1940s. It can be said that there is no face jumping." Director Cheng Er also spoke frankly: "It is the simplest starting point for my creation to build a bridge of communication with the audience I have never met through images and stories." If "Nobody" belongs to the romance directed by Cheng Er, directors like Cheng Er and Jia Zhangke who are not "disciplined" have created the romance of China movies together. I believe that the audience will face more choices in the future and the film market will blossom more.
