Since 1983

The author does not use a pen name, but is called Xu Fei.

The article reads:

"...As a newcomer to the film industry, I can't help but share my humble opinion.

First of all, I fully agree with the idea of ​​"promoting the spirit of the times" proposed by Mr. Zhao Baohua. There are some different views on the inability to make a scientific definition.

Although the main theme has changed with the changes of the times, the basic values ​​remain unchanged.

For example, hard work, optimistic life, honesty and friendship, etc., these are insignificant compared with the revolutionary theme. But can it be denied that it is not the main theme because it is small?

I think that before explaining the main theme, we must first understand what is the mainstream yishi form. The spirit of the Central Committee has clearly instructed to advocate the four everythings, which is the mainstream yishi form today.

Everything is conducive to the promotion of patriotism, collectivism and so on.

Everything is conducive to reform and opening up and modernization.

Everything is conducive to national unity and social progress.

Everything is exchanged for a better life with honest labor and so on.

The fourth point points out the masses of the people and a better life, indicating that they also represent the spirit of the times. Viewpoints that limit the main theme to revolutionary themes are narrow and immature.

Based on the above, I think it is possible to make a generalization. The characteristics of the main theme movie should be:

Healthy film creation that recognizes mainstream yishi forms, advocates national policies, expresses positive attitudes, embodies dominant cultural values, and expresses history and reality.

Accordingly, it can be broadly defined:

Revolutionary and historical films that can fully reflect the country's political form, realistic films that are close to the lives of ordinary audiences, films that promote mainstream values ​​and eulogize human life are the main theme films. "

"..."

In the short paragraph before, Leader Sun read it over and over again.

The article did not mention diversity, did not mention the unity of the three natures, and directly and boldly gave a definition, and it was the only one among so many articles that dared to give a definition.

Even features are analyzed.

Leader Sun forgot to drink the tea, so he continued to read and further explained:

""The Founding Ceremony", "The Great Battle" and "Secretary Jiao" are the main themes of course.

Let's take a photo of an ordinary postman who has been working hard to deliver mail in the mountains for decades; we take a photo of an ordinary person with noisy parents, always optimistic about life, hardworking and simple.

Even in "Party A and Party B", the human warmth of lending the house to the technician at the end... Aren't these the notes of the times?

The main theme is not narrow, but very, very broad. It should belong to all stories that reflect truth, goodness and beauty.

The main theme can also be beautiful, as long as the audience can walk into the theater and sit down patiently, they can bear to watch it. And the current problem is how to let the audience into the theater..."

Um?

Leader Sun turned over, gone? He was about to see what he had to say, but he changed his pen and moved on to the next question.

Hey! This man is too slippery!

However, a lot has been gained. Many people now have a narrow understanding of the main theme. This article expands its thinking and proposes "those that are close to the lives of ordinary audiences", "those that promote mainstream values", and "those that eulogize human life".

What is definition? That is, no matter how it changes, the definition is the standard.

"..."

Leader Sun stared at this sentence to ensure that there were no political mistakes, and then wrote a sentence: "The article is quite valuable, please review it with Comrade XX."

...

In the office, Leader Tian was packing up the documents and preparing for the handover.

He received two notices today, one to step aside, and one to confirm that a meeting will be held in Changsha in late March to clarify the specific policies for films during the 9th Five-Year Plan.

People with good deeds have already called it the "Changsha Conference"!

It sounds like a milestone.

But he was busy, sitting in a chair in a daze, he was left idle, Wu Mengchen pretended to be an ostrich and laughed at him, Dou Shoufang was suppressed by the new director, and the reformists were defeated.

But Xiao Xu was very, very sure, saying that this was dormancy.

Can you really come back? I don't even have confidence in myself.

He got up to pour a glass of water, picked up a new newspaper, and then saw the article.

...

Department of XX.

The leader reviewed this article and was very satisfied.

In his view, this is an expression of surrender, and those who know current affairs are outstanding. But unexpectedly, this kid is indeed talented, and his induction is very comprehensive.

Who dares to say that the masses of the people are not important? Who dares to say that the masses of the people are not the main theme?

It doesn't matter if the definition is shallow, but it cannot be missed.

He called the secretary and asked, "How about the speeches for the meeting?"

"about there."

"Look at this, it's generally all right."

"OK."

...

"China Film Weekly" agency.

Zhao Baohua slammed the magazine down on the table, his face twisted so that the legs of his glasses slipped off and got stuck on the bridge of his nose.

He ate the master's bowl of rice, and immediately understood: that kid asked that question on purpose at the meeting! Just to stir up controversy and snatch the right to speak.

The main theme is a "virtual" concept. No matter how you define it, it is virtual.

This article is a trick, rather than a definition, it is better to say that it gives a range.

But very cleverly written. Now it is generally recognized that the main theme is the theme of revolution and biography. As soon as this article is published, people read it, oh, that’s right.

Of course the people count, and of course the truth, kindness and beauty count.

In this way, the scope is expanded.

...

The set of "Speak Well".

The film has been in preparation since last year, waiting for Jiang Wen and Li Baotian's schedule, and the filming was delayed until winter. The exterior scene is in summer, so it is definitely not good; the interior scene is okay, and a hotel lobby is set up, which is the main place where the story takes place.

In this scene, Liu Xinyi beat up Jiang Wen. Jiang Wen wanted to kill her, so he pretended to make peace and arranged to meet at a restaurant.

Zhang Guoshi was indeed full of inspiration. Although there was a huge space, he turned on a lamp above the two of them, illuminating a table whitely, and the surroundings were pitch black.

The front half of the body is white, and the back half is cast in the shadows, just like "The Godfather".

The photographer is Lu Le, holding the camera, shaking it back and forth.

"It's not a great place..."

Liu Xinyi held a high-end lighter, lit a cigarette, and said, "I'll treat you alone one day. Let's go to another place and eat Fengyang big abalone fin."

"Stop, I feel like I haven't found it yet, let's rest for a while." Zhang Guoshi said.

As soon as the voice fell, the actor wrapped himself in a big cotton jacket.

Jiang Wen habitually began to force him, saying: "Brother, you are almost a rich man. I know a rich man surnamed Xu, who is ruthless. If someone wants to kill him, he will definitely kill him first." .

You are so timid and cowardly. "

Liu Xinyi made films in 1981 and has a lot of experience. He said with a smile, "It's also called being clear. I can see that the other party is a fool, so I made peace and lost money.

With so much wealth, he couldn't afford to mess with someone. "

"Hey, that's right. Just, I'm afraid I won't die."

Jiang Wenyan stuttered, and he usually spoke a little bit.

Lu Le curled his lips when he heard this, why didn't Director Xindao say a word? Turning around, the director was holding a magazine.

"Take a look."

Zhang Guoshi handed it over, Lu Le was silent after reading it, and then passed it to Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen also looked at it, and wondered: "Why is he meddling in this matter? If he doesn't do well, he will make a fuss."

"If he doesn't get involved, the situation will be even more difficult..."

Zhang Guoshi often deals with the government, especially the influence of "To Live", he understands better than Lao Jiang, saying: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the future is the era of the main theme.

There are so many filmmakers, why can’t they all shoot? Resources are not allocated enough.

And our consistent execution method is one size fits all. In the future, only the main theme may pass the review, and the others will be difficult to pass the review. Or you go underground and fail the review. So what is it called..."

He gestured and sighed: "The larger the scope of the main theme, the more flexible the thinking, the more works we can shoot."

"..."

Old Jiang blinked, of course he understood. Inexplicably, he lowered his head and looked at the magazine. Although he didn't want to admit the signature of the article, he really felt it.

That guy really stands taller, sees farther, and is even more admirable.
