The mountains may separate. How far are we from knowing Jia?

From Xiao Wu to Destiny, Jia insisted on his own style for many years, and was depressed a lot because of the seal of Destiny. The successful landing of mountains may depart in the film is bound to be accompanied by Jia's compromise and transformation.

What did Jia learn? Changed what? What did you compromise? How do we understand that he and his mountain may leave? Let's start with Jia.

One: Jia and Jia

Jia is called Jia, revealing the origin of this nickname, which has a strong institutional color, but there is not much mystery. Zhang Ke is the opposite of Zhang Ke. In Jia's joke, he wrote: One day, I was chatting with a hundred hooligans, wandering in the alley of Xiaoxitian, and accidentally walked into a cam shop on the side of the road. When I turned to leave, my boss told me that there was a fake section chief.

Did Jia write down this passage in his essays in the past, is it self-deprecating or joking? Is this bridge real or fake? After so many years, no one can figure it out. Only then did the name of Jia Kechang spread among fans in Jia Dao. Besides being tactful, another reason is that the title of "section chief" is quite similar to Jia Dao's present situation.

What is a section chief? Only from the bottom of the clerk rose slowly, but far from a higher level of director, Jia in China director circle is probably such a level.

Not a famous director, but I like famous directors!

Why does it look like?

Jia is fierce because he talks about the influence of internationalization. From Xiaowu to the platform to the world, 1998-2004, three films broke into Berlin, Busan, Venice and Cannes in six years.

However, if Jia is a famous director, his fame in the domestic director circle is really meaningful. Even Jia himself joked that he was a "county magistrate".

(* In many of Jia's works, the county towns and villages in Shaanxi are the main places where movie stories take place. No matter how advanced the prosperity is, it will be very dull in Jia's films. At most, he will use a private jet, such as the coal mine owner in Destiny. Therefore, Jia once commented on himself, "I can only shoot movies in the county, but I can't shoot more advanced prosperity."

Such internationalization and such county-level urbanization are all concentrated on Jia alone.

Perhaps it is to seek change and jump out of the county module. At the beginning of 20 15, Jia filmed "The Mountain is Bound".

Its story is the name, saying that "the mountains and rivers are still there, so the old people are not there", but its venue is "from the county to the city, and then to the international". The story is still familiar, but the venue and the style of the section chief are somewhat different.

Two: Let's tell a story.

Mountains may depart is not a forbidden film, but it is not so easy to find. It exists in some broadcast platforms, but it is like a classic book on the shelf. It looks good, but it's hard to read, so it doesn't have a wide reputation.

This style appears not only in mountains may depart, but also in most of Jia's films. Dull, even the sky in the story is gray, but the person you like loves this color very much.

The first story of mountains may depart takes place in Fenyang, Shanxi Province, where the sky is more "gloomy" because of coal mines.

Zhang Jinsheng (Zhang Yi), who made a fortune by running a gas station, came up with the idea of running a coal mine. He bought a coal mine at a low price and fired a worker on the day he became the owner.

The worker's name is Liang Jianjun. He grew up with Zhang Jinsheng, and their relationship has always been very good.

There are generally only two reasons why two men who have always had a good relationship can break up. One is business competition, and the other is female competition.

Shen Tao is a primary school teacher. She often says, "If her cheekbones were smaller, they would look better." He who thinks his appearance is not perfect has firmly grasped the heart of life and harmony.

Triangulation is a fairly stable existence in geometry, so it will be accompanied by severe pain and rapid impact if you want to break it.

Zhang Jinsheng forced Shen Tao to make a choice by expelling Liang Jianjun, and then declared war with "cars" and "detonators" as "sugar-coated shells".

You will find that three men have been ambiguous for a long time, but it took a short time to break the relationship. Behind the seemingly understatement, the pain and hidden dangers have not dissipated, but have been hidden and suppressed.

(* This paragraph will be mentioned in the fourth part. Gentlemen, keep reading. )

So when Liang Jianjun left 15, he vowed to die of old age, while Shen Tao and Max Zhang got married and divorced, and a family was divided into two halves.

These initial pains fermented in 15 years, then slowly released, and finally became insignificant. This is what people often say: "Leave everything to time", shouting "Liang Jianjun who will never see you again will come back here" and saying "I love you, I love you".

This is the first story in mountains may depart.

By 20 14, the protagonist of the second story is no longer love and these three people.

Dole is the son of Zhang Jinsheng and Shen Tao. After the divorce, he went to Shanghai with his father. Many years later, he returned to Fenyang, where he was born. His mother became "mommy".

What should I do if blood is thicker than water after years of scouring? I have long lost my feelings for this woman in front of me, not because of his cruelty and indifference, but because of a simple strangeness and alienation.

So in order to leave a mark on her heart, Shen Tao chose to go back to Shanghai by train. The scenery along the way was beautiful, and a few days was not short, but she was still very strange when she left.

He gave the key to the knife and said, "This is the key to your house. You can come back at any time. "

Shen Tao is looking forward to leaving. She thinks she will come back often, which may be true if there are no father-son immigrants behind her.

In the third story, ten years later, in 2025, Yule and Zhang Jinsheng have lived in Australia for many years. Yes, in the year when Yule and Shen Tao broke up, they immigrated to Australia.

Fenyang to Shanghai, a few days' train, seems far away, but it's actually very close. China to Australia, a flight of more than ten hours, seems very close, but in fact it is far away. After all, this didn't happen once in Shen Tao's expectation.

In 2025, Daole had already forgotten her mother's appearance, and the only memory was probably the bunch of keys hanging around her neck. Dole tells Mia (Zhang Aijia) that this is his belief.

Mia is a Chinese teacher. She is about the same age as Shen Tao. She stood beside Dole like a mother and son.

However, there is an "unforgettable love" between them. The feeling of finding happiness in Mia is affection or love or a kind of mutual comfort that we are both unhappy-it doesn't matter if we live forever.

The important thing is: the mountains and rivers remain the same, and the old friends are long gone. Shen Tao is dancing under the sky of Fenyang, but neither promotion nor joy is there. In the villa in Australia, Zhang Jinsheng was well dressed, but his feelings and love were gone.

For music, the characters of this new era are still yellow skin and black eyes, but his parents are gone and his feelings are gone.

Mountains may depart also adopts the narrative technique of subsection, but unlike Jia's previous fate, the timeline of mountains may depart is single and always moving forward, so obviously, all its stories are people and things you see.

Three: interpretation of the mountain may leave.

Jia's last film before mountains may depart was Destiny, but I won't elaborate on the story of destiny. All you need to know is that Destiny told four stories, all of which are true. Their similarities are two words: "blood" and "anger", which are full of violent hostility in the process of bleeding.

So "fate" was sealed.

Two years later, when filming mountains may depart, Jia obviously restrained a lot. The whole "The Possible Departure of Mountains and Rivers" did not shed a trace of blood, but it was violent? But it was kept secret by Jia.

Only "blood" can be seen by everyone, and "crime" varies from person to person, so "mountains may depart" was not banned and was successfully released. No one knows whether Jia learned the skills here or was forced to learn them, but one thing can be seen. Jia seems to be afraid that "sin" is hidden too deeply and no one understands it, so many scenes are set in the movie to compare: "sitting in Australia." Liang Jianjun's friend is going to work in Kazakhstan, and someone chipped in a deposit of 30,000 yuan. Jianjun, who originally wanted to borrow money to cure diseases, heard this and closed his mouth. " ...

The "hostility" expounded by this kind of metaphor is the division of class and the division of the rich and the poor. Under the same sky, people with the same origin and starting point are slowly moving towards two extremes.

But these contents are exactly what Jia wants to say, but he doesn't want to say so much. If a person's life is bitter enough, what good is it to let him taste more bitter?

Therefore, Jia's mountains may depart did not leak "blood" from beginning to end. This paper briefly describes the changes in recent years from 1999-2025, from the county seat of Fenyang to the metropolis of Shanghai, and then to the international Australia.

As for whether anyone can see the helplessness and pain behind the story and the poor people who have been washed away in the course of time, everything comes naturally.

Mountains and rivers are beautiful, so old people are warm, but together, mountains and rivers may have an unspeakable coldness and ugliness.

This is that mountains may be separated, which is also the compromise and progress of Jia society.

Four: Know Jia.

There is a saying that may offend many Jia fans, but I still want to say that Jia's uniqueness lies not in his talent, but in his frankness and persistence.

From the films such as Xiaowu, Platform and The Good Man of Three Gorges, we can all see that Jia has been expressing the characters at the bottom, and the biggest feature of the characters at the bottom is that they are confused and can't keep up with the times.

Therefore, with this kind of confusion, two States will be born, one is to go with the flow and the other is to be independent, but in either case, there is a common feature, that is, sad color.

In Jia's films, people who go with the flow usually appear in the form of "villagers", "passers-by" and "audience". Every time they appear, their lines are mechanized: "Just listen to the village chief, don't be stubborn", "OK, OK, let's have another one" ... similar words, consistent eyes and dull.

But are they wrong? Don't!

Standing on their opposite side are maverick people, so we should work hard. Such people feel the great changes of the times, but the lack of ability and resources makes it impossible for them to turn them into wealth. They were angry, unwilling and puzzled, but there was nowhere to release them, so they became angry.

So are they wrong? Don't!

Nothing is wrong. This is the pain left by the rapid development of the times. Just like in The Mountain Is Bound, Shen Tao asked again and again, "Is this a geometric problem or an algebraic problem?" Geometry represents space, algebra represents time, the product of the same frequency of time and space is harmony, and the product of the disorder of time and space is disjointed.

At the same time, because of the rapid development of the times and the rapid breaking of the game, many pains will be temporarily concealed and suppressed in the torrent of great development, as the second paragraph says: ambiguity is long, breaking the game is fast, and the pains in the process of breaking the game will be slowly digested in the future 15 years.

This process is very helpless, but it must be experienced. The forty years of reform and opening up seem long, but it is too short in the long history of 5 thousand years. Therefore, many old ideas that have been stuck for thousands of years will usher in innovation and disintegration within 40 years. Most people will go with the flow, and a few people will be alone and their pain will be suppressed.

Jia grasped the connotation of "the pain of oppression" and expressed it through the description of these two types of people. All his works are like this. He spared no effort to show the world the confusion and pain of ordinary people under the torrent of the times.

Jia is not the only director who can shoot this kind of exhibition, but only Jia has been insisting on it.

In the scene of "mountains may depart", there is a scene at the beginning and a scene at the end: a child is walking in the bustling crowd with Guan Gong's broadsword. His direction runs counter to the crowd, and his clothes blend in with the world.

He looks so out of place, but he is really an ordinary person, like you, like me, like him.

Jia is this man. He chose a different direction from all the directors, but he also showed it to the general public, that is, you and me.

Movies are art, and art mostly comes from life. Life has ups and downs, and there are days and nights. Some people are filming "Brilliant Day" and others are filming "The Night is Impermanent". What this society needs to do is to be all-inclusive, allowing clear distinction between black and white, drifting with the flow and being independent.

Fortunately, in this circle, with Jia zai, I have been insisting.
