Hello everyone, can you please tell me a professional way to review film and television dramas in 2000 words, such as Chen Kaige’s Hidden Flowers in 10 Minutes of Aging

"Hidden Flowers", a work by Chen Kaige, ten minutes, is one of the collection "Growing Old in Ten Minutes", a collection of ten-minute short films shot by fifteen directors with the theme of "time". department. All the other fourteen authors of this group of works all chose to say in Kawakami: The dead are like this! Only Chen Kaige went to the top of the building to see the scenery, and it was extremely cold up there.

Depth of Hundreds of Flowers - a place name that makes me have endless reveries. It's a bit like the toy that everyone has seen. It's a little wooden figure that can be opened from the middle. There's still the same little figure inside, but the number is one size smaller than the one outside. When you open it again, the same figure is one size smaller. ...and so on, there are about seven or eight. Later I learned that its name is Russian matryoshka doll. If it is laid out in a straight line, it has a certain shape. Everyone has seen this kind of thing before, there is no suspense. I have it at home, in the cupboard. There are no doubts, so there are no answers, there are only forms. "Hidden Flowers" has a lot of this meaning. It chooses a similar form and uses a small device to attract you in an extremely limited space. However, its core is not To reveal the answer, its core is "Suddenly encountering a peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps across the bank, there are no miscellaneous trees, the grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful..."

The highest level of this series is Ma Sanli's "Scratch". "Hidden Flowers" is something between a Russian doll and "Tickle."

Chen Kaige chose Beijing as the filming location and background. The elements of the scene are two extremes. The former one can be seen everywhere and is reality, including the newly built tower residential complex, Ping'an Avenue, the large truck of the moving company, and the traffic information broadcast by the traffic station; the latter one is illusory and is The dreamland was a particularly beautiful ruin. He didn’t know where he found it. He finally landed under a big locust tree. It was called "Deep Flowers" in the film. The area around the big locust tree was no longer ruins but an open space. of open space. A large locust tree in such an open space may not conform to the ideal landscape model in the sense of Feng Shui, but this locust tree is undoubtedly a symbol of blessing and an ideal habitat in a utopian background. It is the author's meticulous design for the madman Mr. Feng. Choosing a dream home, and choosing such a topic cannot escape the reliance on the ubiquitous Feng Shui consciousness on a subconscious level. Starting from primitive humans, there have been extremely stringent requirements for the choice of residence. The ideal Feng Shui prototype also originated from primitive people's pursuit in practice. Mr. Feng, as a madman, must be closer to primitive humans than normal people, and As a lunatic, he could eliminate utilitarian factors such as traffic conditions and neighborhood relations, and arbitrarily choose this big locust tree as a peach blossom garden. Although it is not surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are no winding paths and crisscrossing valleys, this As a symbol of an ideal landscape, a large locust tree has provided many inspirations in the exploration of Feng Shui. Mr. Feng is so bourgeois, but this is not so much Mr. Feng’s romantic feelings as it is the tricks of the player Chen Kaige.

Chen Kaige·Author

"The Hidden Flowers" is the best, I think it is interesting.

As far as my limited knowledge of director Chen Kaige is concerned, I think he is a very playful person at heart. This can be seen from the famous line "Once upon a time there was a mountain..." in "The King of Children" It can already be seen in the clip. However, Chen Kaige seems to have been hiding his inner desires, because he has more important things to do, and he needs to endure humiliation and bear the burden.

It’s good to be able to educate while having fun, but if you can’t have both, Chen Kaige and others would rather give up fun in order to achieve great things. It is common for them to sit upright with a straight face, which is understandable. Save the fun for retirement. Many ambitious people have such plans for their lives. They hope that after retirement, they can find an open space to plant flowers and grass to their heart's content. Chen Kaige was able to shoot "Hidden Flowers" at this time, and he was able to enjoy the pleasure of planting flowers and grass after retirement as a veteran cadre in advance, which is gratifying.

Perhaps Chen Kaige hid it well. For a long time, he did not seem to be such a playful person. "Hidden Flowers" is Chen Kaige's practice of future retirement life after work. It is a small flower and grass planted in the limited space on his balcony, full of life and interest.

However, compared to interesting, Chen Kaige prefers those profound human themes. (Director Chen said it himself, I can’t remember the exact words, but that’s what it meant) After all, "Hidden Flowers" is just a small flower on the balcony for Chen Kaige. Chen Kaige probably thinks that it is not advisable to indulge in it too much. In order to avoid losing his mind with playing with things and to nourish his spirit, he still wanted to shoot "The Promise".

Seeing director Chen Kaige calmly say in the media: "The Promise" is a super entertainment blockbuster... I still want to say a cliché: Playthings can also nourish your ambition!

If we say that in the last shot of "Hidden Flowers", the madman Mr. Feng rang his bell and cheered happily, "I'm moving to a new home..." and ran towards the big locust tree in the sunset, His back is swallowed up by the black screen and the distant music... It is completely nonsense to make people understand or think of something, and then immerse themselves in some emotion. Interesting is the only shining thing in "Hidden Flowers".

If you think "Hidden Flowers" is a fable or fairy tale, then you are from Mongolia and were cooked like mutton. "Hidden Flowers" is a toy.

Mr. Feng·Symbol

Mr. Feng is not a character, but a symbol. Mr. Feng has no personality at all, and some of it is nonsensical. His appearance and existence are just a paragraph, temporary. Appeared suddenly without any reason, claiming to be old Beijing. He didn't recognize anyone in the real Beijing city. "When I ask what time it is now, I don't know that there were Han Dynasties, regardless of the Wei and Jin Dynasties." However, Mr. Feng is definitely not thinking about one thing after another, but is a typical persistent idealism that only sticks to one thing in his life. Zhang Yimou often had such characters in his films of the last century.

It seems very funny to talk about story, plot, characters and scenes, time, space and other elements in such a work. But it is close to the style of the work itself.

Interesting things are always scattered, so you must not be more serious. You cannot ask where Mr. Feng came from and where does Mr. Feng live? Why did Mr. Feng suddenly appear in that residential area? Where did the money Mr. Feng paid the moving company come from? If you ask such a question and ask about Mr. Feng's history and backstory, you won't know which one is the lunatic, you or Mr. Feng. However, if we must explore the origin of this true Mr. Feng, it is not completely without ideas. This topic can be traced back to Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine", but that is a matter for another article. Here Let’s stop there for now.

Mr. Feng is a madman. I heard that many authors have the desire to write works about madmen. Those who write books want to write about madmen, those who make movies want to film madmen, and those who act in plays want to play madmen. Most of what has been said has nothing to say, but Chen Kaige did it, and went beyond pretending to be crazy and pretending to be crazy. At the same time, when filming "Hidden Flowers", Chen Kaige had already experienced the transformation from an angry youth to an antonym of an angry youth. growing up.

Before I saw a madman, I once secretly wondered whether there really were madmen in the world, or were madmen just fabricated by people? Just like ghosts, everyone is talking about it. Some people say that there is no such thing, and some people say that they have really seen it... I often see people pretending to be ghosts, but I can tell that they are pretending. I have never seen a real ghost. However, I often hear people say that their hearts are full of doubts. Questioning is questioning. Questioning is a very neutral attitude, neither inclined to affirmation nor to denial. The attitude towards madmen is similar to that towards ghosts. The difference is that suddenly one day, I saw a madman myself and discovered that there is a difference between being really crazy and pretending to be crazy.

When I was in junior high school, there was a girl in my class who was very introverted. She never took the initiative to talk to others and walked alone to and from school. When I came back from a holiday, this girl had changed. During morning self-study, she would suddenly stand up and rush out of the classroom and disappear. The teacher felt very scared and said to the whole class, "You guys go out and look at her." Come on, don't let anything happen to her, so the classroom was almost empty for a while, and everyone went out to look for her. When these people came back one after another, she was already sitting in the classroom, as if nothing had happened, and asked, where are you from? ? During the physics exam, she also suddenly stood up and said: I know I was wrong, I know I am sorry for the teacher and my classmates, and all the crimes I have committed are unjust... She kept talking arrogantly, dozens of times. Looking up at her, the teacher was dumbfounded... After class, she summoned a group of girls in the corridor and persuaded her with sincerity: You must read and read more love novels. After reading it, you will understand that in fact, it is not Just like what you think... I don't know if anyone thought carefully about what she said. About half a year later, the teachers thought that she was gradually recovering, so they talked to her carefully to express their concern. After talking to her, the teacher immediately came to talk to me. The content of the conversation shocked me, saying that she wanted to She expressed her wish to become a good friend with me, hoping that I could help her in the long term, and that when she had any questions, she could get answers from me... After being shocked, I thought that I must not let her down.

After this incident, I began to think that this was the legendary lunatic. It was indeed fundamentally different from the people I had seen before who claimed to be insane and lunatic. Those people were just pretending to be crazy. That’s all. A symbolic fact is that people who pretend to be crazy often actively express this: I am a weird person, I am different from others, I am crazy, I sometimes look like a lunatic... Really Crazy people never say that.

Mr. Feng is a true lunatic, completely different from the neurotic characters pretending to be crazy that I have seen in other film and television works before.

Ten minutes·Length

Time is the most common measurement for image length. If someone does not choose time to measure the length of an image, there are other types of weights and measures to choose from, such as lenses, Scene etc.

If you make a coordinate chart of the number of scenes and duration for a movie, you can clearly see the rhythm of the movie from the curve in the chart.

There are certain conversion relationships between several weights and measures. The relevant reference standard is that a 90-minute film length, converted into scenes, is about 90 to 120 scenes. If your 90-minute movie only has 60 scenes, then the pace of your movie must be too slow.

The length of ten minutes is the length required by a standard art school-related major entrance examination. The film is ten minutes long, and the length of the script is about three thousand words and more than ten scenes.

Ten minutes can’t accomplish much, but ten minutes is enough time to express any thoughts you want to express, to explain clearly anything you want to say, and to express your feelings appropriately. Complex logic can be explained clearly in ten minutes. As far as the word "years" is concerned, the changes that can occur in ten minutes are extremely limited. To see how old you are, you need to go beyond the long nth power of ten minutes. Surreal and rhetorical expressions include fleeting, time flies, and If you don't see it, it's like three autumns, ten minutes of aging, time goes fly... The same is true for the word "Nianhua", to tell the story of the aging of the years, to express the sadness, sadness, trance, etc. of the aging of the years. For desperate feelings, ten minutes is enough - as long as you don't be verbose or repetitive, ten minutes can do anything.
