The famous director Zhang Li received an exclusive interview with the Global Times: Good works must make people "tingling"

[Global Times special reporter Sun Xiaochuan] Editor's words: "In fact, every professional director is eager to try, this is nature." The themes of war to commercial war, suspense, and the director of the year of ears, Zhang Li, came out of the "comfort zone" again and again, and did not set up restrictions on themselves. Recently, Zhang Li accepted an exclusive interview with the Global Times and shared his views on the development of the film and television industry: "Cold winter is the current status of the industry. Instead of thinking when the cold winter passes, it is better to improve his ability to protect the cold."

"The lens is like a word"

Global Times: The series of "Outside of the Court" series of "Blind Division" and "Water Falling" and "Falling Water" are directed by Director Huang Wei. Will you worry that the director's different styles will make the audience a sense of separation? Is the corresponding communication and lens language design for smooth connection?

Zhang Li: During the earliest script planning stage, we communicated with the characteristics of the characters. Because the content of many scenes was tight, we discussed the temperament, lines, and even scenery of the main actors. However, there are not many discussions in the setting of the lens, because we are all came from the camera. There is not much cognitive gap in our own profession, and it belongs to the "inspection -free product".

The lens is like a word. On the basis of a certain vocabulary, it is the most important to rely on your rhetoric to complete narrative, expressions, rendering, etc. Judging from the current film, there is a difference, but each story has its own mission. As long as the story tells well, I believe the audience will not feel split.

Global Times: Will the real cases restrict the art processing of film and television works?

Zhang Li: The text of the screenwriter's fingerprint teacher is very spicy and delicate, and extremely professional. The script is not a running account, not only the code he sees, but the "real" we see now is actually the creation of his choice. Full of dramatic truth. His choice and processing have undergone high artistic treatment, and the content created on the basis of this has fictional and comprehensive vitality. This vitality is the director and actor who created in the next stage. Large value.

Global Times: What are the advantages of the two -line parallel in the "Outside Court" series of parallel lines in narrative? Will this type of narrative form a threshold for viewing the audience?

Zhang Li: "Outside of the Court" has its special characteristics. It consists of the AB surface: "Blind Area" and "Water Faller". In fact, it is also the relationship between "branch" and "dry". The structure of the 6 episodes of "Blind" is relatively short. I am more confident whether from the logic of the plot or the use of shooting methods. After having the "dry" of "Falling Water", relatively speaking, "Blind" will be greater.

Double time and space, long -time space will actually give the audience more intuitive feelings. With flashback and backwards, the biggest function of long and space is that the complex emotions of the characters can be expressed in a limited time. The amount of information is greater during the unit time, so it is richer and more efficient than the content of the narrative of time and space.

"I am afraid that others say I have a personal style"

Global Times: How do you think of the shaping of film and television works on the opposite character no longer restricted to the surface, but increasingly exploring the change of human nature?

Zhang Li: In the current era of information diversification, the breadth, depth, and quantity of the information received by each person have greatly expanded and increased. In this case, the plot routine of too single -line, superficially, and even some words are getting worse and difficult to use. In my opinion, from the perspective of audiences and producers, they need to be more detailed and tingling various characters and good works, and hit the depths of their hearts.

Global Times: Most of your early works are historical dramas and war dramas. In recent years, you have also tried more themes such as commercial warfare, fantasy, suspense.

Zhang Li: Our entire creative team has the desire to try a new subject. In fact, when I am this year old, I am particularly afraid that others will say that I have a personal style. For me, I actually "scold people". It may mean solidification with its own style. In fact, every professional director is eager to try. This is eager to try. It is natural.

Global Times: Will you worry that you will be determined and deliberately choose a work with a larger contrast?

Zhang Li: It is too luxurious to say "selection". At present, the power of capital in the film and television industry is very powerful, and the room for the director's selection is getting smaller and smaller -not only to choose the subject matter, but even the basic power of some directors is slowly diluted. In this case, if you have the opportunity to contact different themes, if you have the ability, why not try it?

"Two episodes of the law" argued a lot

Global Times: "The Laws of Two Episodes" have always been a hot topic in the film and television industry. Some people think that they need to be paved in the early stage, and some people prefer to impact the plot. What do you think?

Zhang Li: In fact, this problem is unsolved, or it depends on whether the entire work is a strong plot or a strong person. If it is a strong plot, there will be problems such as a large line head, less length, and fast rhythm. Whether you can do it and you need to design well; strong characters means that the "two episodes of the law" fails, and more abandoned dramas. This is also a problem. From a non -professional perspective, as long as there is traffic, the "half -episode law" and "eight episodes laws" do not exist. I often talked with many directors in the later period. It is difficult to set the shooting tone from the beginning of the preparation. We also argued very much about the "two episodes of the law". From the script stage, because the impact of external factors on the work on the work too much. A film I made at that time asked the TV station to be responsible for the purchase of the film to watch the film. After they put forward the opinions, we re -edited and dubbed it. After finishing the TV, the TV station suddenly didn't want the film. Later, another stage also made their own requests, and we still didn't have it after the modification. In the end, we told the investors that we could modify it based on the opinions of the determined purchaser. In the end, the TV station that really purchased the film did not make much request. Therefore, sometimes it is not the fixed force of the creators. The things are very complicated. They have a lot to do with the real decision -making people and have a great relationship with the data.

Global Times: Some people say that the film and television industry encounters temporary cold winter is conducive to industry purification. How do you judge?

Zhang Li: The winter is reality, but how we boil into the spring flowers. Again, instead of cooking, it is better to improve the ability to protect the cold, which is also a disguise to promote us to improve business capabilities.

Global Times: What are the differences or gaps in film and television production at home and abroad?

Zhang Li: From the perspective of shooting technical means, we have basically reached a state of flatness in a few years, including the use of some methods, but also very close to the use of some methods, but "walking against the water, but retreat" in recent years. In recent years The development of domestic film and television production is relatively slow.

Global Times: Recently prepared works?

Zhang Li: It is currently doing a spy war drama. It is the script of Teacher Wang Xiaoyan. The plot is full of suspense. It is expected to be turned on during the year.
