Compared with Farewell My Concubine , why do netizens say that Chen Kaige played the good card of

Compared with "Farewell My Concubine", netizens said that Chen Kaige played the good card of "Mei Lanfang" poorlyis because "Farewell My Concubine" was too goodMany people watch movies based on their feelings, feeling that the distance between "Mei Lanfang" and "Farewell My Concubine" is too great, and they subconsciously find fault with "Mei Lanfang". In fact, I watched "Mei Lanfang" and it was not as bad as it was said on the Internet, but it was really not as good as "Farewell My Concubine".

A "Farewell My Concubine" made Chen Kaige out of the limelight, well-known at home and abroad, and won awards softly. At that time, Chen Kaige was among the "three major directors in China" (Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige) with "Farewell My Concubine". Time has passed, the three famous directors of the year have developed "each with their own merits", and the other two are calling for wind and rain in the film industry, but Chen Kaige is slowly being forgotten by the audience.

"Mei Lanfang", as Chen Kaige's high-decibel horn shouted to the "city people", naturally took a lot of thoughtIt can be seen from the actors: Zhang Ziyi, Liming, Sun Honglei, Chen Hong and some supporting actors are all powerful actors in China. Even some of the people who run the hall are the "old drama bones" in the circle.

As a result, the supporting roles were all outstanding, but the leading actors had mediocre performances. I think Chen Kaige asked Liming to play the middle-aged Mei Lanfang because he wanted Liming to play the elegance of Mr. Mei, but Liming's acting skills were shocking, with more than ten years of acting experience, he couldn't let go of the stage, and his performance was cringe, and he was not as good as the actor of the young Mei Lanfang.

With the success of the previous "Farewell My Concubine", many people will compare "Mei Lanfang" with "Farewell My Concubine", which makes many viewers have the desire to **. But on the contraryBecause the expectations are too high and the cast is strong, in the end, the audience felt that the plot was not as good as expected, and there was more sense of loss, and there were more negative reviews.

The reason why netizens say that Chen Kaige woke up Mei Lanfang's good card is because the drama Farewell My Concubine is more meaningful than Mei Lanfang.

I don't know why netizens say this, and I don't know very well.

Because Chen Kaige did not shoot the meaning of Farewell My Concubine, he was criticized.

Chen Kaige's film works have always been polarized, those who like it like it very much, and those who hate it think it is a peerless bad movie.

Chen Kaige's work of "Mei Lanfang" is not so recognized by everyone.

Because as soon as the overlord Farewell Concubine came out, the reputation he had accumulated before him was ruined.

I don't know this very well, after all, everyone has a different opinion.

Strange moldy treasure wine, guarding every day, to make a tall and complete out, but the result is dead.

Because of a rumor:"Farewell My Concubine".

This work is not Chen Kaige.

filmed, he was just a nominal director, but it was actually his father's masterpiece, and such statements have been circulated to this day.

However, there has been no real confirmation, at the beginning, people didn't care too much, until a series of Chen Kaige's confusing behaviors, people even more doubted whether this classic work was filmed by him.

2005 movie "Wu Ji".

At that time, Chen Kaige threatened: No one will understand the movie Wuji in ten years! Now, 17 years later, some critics still feel that the film is relatively hollow and don't quite understand what the theme is about.

Another point is that from "Farewell My Concubine" to "Wuji", everyone feels that these two movies are very different, one is in the sky and the other is underground, and netizens have ridiculed that the level will not drop to this point, so they began to wonder if Farewell My Concubine is Chen Kaige's work.

Character evaluation

Chen Kaige is a fifth-generation Chinese director.

One of the representative figures, he is also a film poet with deep literary literacy and ideological depth. He is good at dissecting the constraints and influences of the burden of history and tradition on the human spirit, showing the complexity of human beings, and at the same time, pinpointing the unreasonable and inhuman human weaknesses. His films are full of concern and yearning for a more harmonious and intelligent human existence.

With his profound cultural heritage and solid artistic skills, he expresses a strong sense of humanity.

and aesthetic pursuits, and a variety of film methods, forming his own unique heavy and sharp, peaceful and agitated film style.

1."Farewell My Concubine".

It's really not a movie, it's a life. Such a real and profound reflection of the miserable fate of the people in the historical period from the eve of the Anti-Japanese War to the Cultural Revolution, permeated every detail, including the child who couldn't stand the abuse and beating of the troupe, and the distortion of the six relatives in the Cultural Revolution was shown to the extreme. Of course, the most amazing thing is my brother's performance, such a sad and pitiful Dieyi makes people feel heartbroken, if you don't go crazy, you can't live, there is no distinction between people and plays, and the same is true for him in reality.

Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" is the first Chinese film to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

The film brings together many top artists from all walks of life, with extremely high artistic achievements, and it is also the highest-rated film in Chinese cinema so far.

For example, Chen Kaige's father, Chen Huaihao, has a transcendent status in the Chinese opera film industry, and is good friends with many famous singers in the Peking Opera industry.

In addition to Jinghe's accompanying drama, "Farewell My Concubine" is also the result of the collaboration of top artists in other aspects.

The screenwriter is Lu Wei, the stupid shadow of the Zen book is Gu Changwei, the recording is Tao Jing, ** is Zhao Jiping, and the original work is Li Bihua, and each single is a big name in their respective fields.

They naturally become a good product when they make a movie together, so "Farewell My Concubine" has almost no shortcomings in photography, story, **, etc., so is "Farewell My Concubine" the pinnacle?

Most of the movies adapted by Li Bihua** are more successful than the original books.

Needless to say, "Farewell My Concubine" won the Cannes Palme d'Or. "Green Snake" directed by Tsui Hark, "Rouge Buckle" by Guan Jinpeng, "Dumplings" by Chen Guo, "Seduction Monk" directed by Luo Zhuoyao and starring Chen Chong, "Kawashima Yoshiko" directed by Fang Lingzheng, including "Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Warriors" starring Zhang Yimou and Gong Li in the early years, etc., are all very successful films, in terms of quality, they are not a little better than the original work, but surpass them in all directions, surpassing several grades.

In the past, I was curious about the original book and the writer after watching the movie, so I bought her books to read, and I can say that I was very disappointed in most cases. Li Bihua's storyline is very diverse, but the aesthetic taste is unusually homogeneous, she especially prefers to portray unreliable men, and then under this scenario presupposition, depict love stories with unreliable men. Because of the strange feelings and resentment, the perspective of the original story is unusually narrow.

And after it was made into a movie, it seemed to have been turned into gold by the director. For example, what Chen Kaige shows is not only the love between Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou, but also the unity of man and drama, how the pursuit of art has been crushed into dust by the great era, and even includes the revenge of the vulgar on art (Duan Xiaopai Weilou's so-called "living in the pile of laypeople"). Kwan Jinpeng's "Rouge Buckle" is like a ghost version of Zhang Ailing**, which talks about love in an unusually desolate way, and then two different eras, triggering anti-Bixing thoughts about the current modern symptoms in Hong Kong.

The other movies listed above are also very impressive, and if you are interested, you can go and watch them, so I won't introduce them one by one.
