After 80, he is still active in the front line of film creation Lu Xiaoya: I look forward to the bright future of movies, because I love movies Lu Xiaoya, the fourth generation director over 80, is still active in the front line of film creation and maintains the original enthusiasm for the film. Recently, Lu Xiaoya appeared at the Wu Tianming youth film summit held in Jinan. In addition to participating in the screening and exchange of the film "hot love", she also attended the film forum. She had a dialogue with the fifth generation director Xia Gang, the new generation director Yin Ruoxin and Cao Jinling, and shared their themes such as theme selection and the relationship between the story and the present, Explore the "present" of common concern to different filmmakers in different times. No matter what era you are in, you should think and express your current life Lu Xiaoya was born in Changsha, Hunan Province in 1941. In 1950, she starred in her first film "Liu Hulan", playing childhood Liu Hulan; In 1979, directed his first film "flying to the future"; In 1980, he directed the plot film inside and outside the court. In 1981, Lu Xiaoya nominated for the best feature film award of the first Golden Rooster Award with "inside and outside the court". Therefore, she became the first female director nominated in the history of the Golden Rooster Award. "Inside and outside the court" also won the excellent film award (Huabiao Award) of the Ministry of culture of China. Other classic works directed by Lu Xiaoya include girl in red, red and white, love and so on. "Inside and outside the court" was filmed in 1980. It tells about the death of gymnast Jiang Yanyan in a car accident. After that, Xu Dahuai, the full-time driver of the organ directly under the Municipal Reform Commission, surrendered himself. The court decided in the preliminary trial that Xu was tired and drunk driving. He had a good attitude of pleading guilty, so he was exempted from criminal punishment and acquitted. The judgment caused great dissatisfaction among the people. Mother Jiang appealed to Shang Qin, President of the intermediate court. President Shang is upright and upright. She withstood the pressure of all parties to accept the case. During this period, she reported that Xu Dahuai didn't hit anyone with an anonymous letter. After a thorough investigation, Shang Qin found that the case was inextricably related to Xia Huan, the son of director Xia, who had known each other. In this process, various forces tried to influence the judgment of the case. Shang Qin enforced the law impartially and vowed to find out the truth Even today, the film is very reflective. Director Lu Xiaoya said that at that time, she read a lot of novels and felt deeply about realistic works. She hoped to shoot some things she paid more attention to. After Lu Ya decided to film the script of Emei literature, he decided to go to the film studio. "Inside and outside the court" is a reflection on the rule of law at that time after many waves and setbacks. Although the film encountered some obstacles in the production process, Lu Xiaoya chose to stick to it. She believes that the creator's understanding of the present and reality needs persistence and self-confidence. "Girl in red" is another classic work directed by Lu Xiaoya. The film is adapted from Tie Ning's novella "red shirt without buttons", which tells the story of Enron, a personality girl who loves to wear red shirts, during the selection of three good students. After the film was released, it was a great success. At that time, some critics said that the film was "as plain as life; as complex as life; as severe as life itself." "Girl in red" won the best feature film award of the 5th China Film Golden Rooster Award, the best feature film award of the 8th popular film Hundred Flowers Award and the first prize of excellent film of the Ministry of culture in 1984. When asked how to write the realistic story of the times, director Lu Xiaoya believes that we should care about the people around us, "When you think about your own era, artists are ordinary people. You must know that you are ordinary people and live in the present. You are no different from others. The problems they encounter are what you encounter, and the problems they think are what you want to think. No matter what era you are in, you should think with empathy and express the current life. This is a movie The most important thing for workers. " The highest level of film appreciation is to find yourself In Lu Xiaoya's view, the 1980s was a warm and magical era, and several of her films reflected the atmosphere of the times at that time. "Except that the first film I made was a children's film jointly made with others, which was a task given by the factory, I selected the rest by myself." The film "love" adapted from literary works successfully shaped the migratory generation in the mid-1980s. The film tells that Wen JieFei, a top student of Normal University, came to Hainan, a large special area, after graduation to seek a teacher's job. Facing all kinds of temptations, Wen JieFei lost interest in being a teacher and decided to find another job. Fan Jiyuan, a farmer born builder, came from a poor family and didn't go to school for a few days, so he especially worshipped educated intellectuals. By chance, he met Wen JieFei, who was looking for a job everywhere, and helped her solve the housing problem. Wen was grateful. Her ex boyfriend Zhang Shu also came to Hainan from the mainland to take part in education and advised her to go back to school, but Wen refused. However, Hainan, which has just been established as a province, is like a battlefield where eight immortals cross the sea and show their abilities. Dream making "miracles" occur every day. Some people get rich overnight, while others are instantly poor. Where is Wen JieFei's way out? Recalling the original intention of creating this work, Lu Xiaoya said that when she chose to shoot the work, she would read some literary works and inadvertently read Yi jienan's novel city and women, "After I saw it, I thought my thoughts on the times could be put into this framework, so I could adapt it myself. The story originally took place in other cities, because I came to Hainan and went to many places in the process of adaptation. Finally, I discussed with my friends on the film crew to put the story in Hainan." In Hainan, Lu Xiaoya did a lot of research and reading written materials, and interviewed migrant workers all the way. "I'm a bit of a 'migrant worker complex' because I know it was not easy for migrant workers in that era. When I was in Shenzhen, I saw the scene where migrant workers really lived. It was the 1980s, which left a deep impression on me. At that time, I didn't know the word 'demographic dividend'. The high-rise buildings in that era and all buildings after the reform and opening up were built by their hard work Yes, so I strongly expressed the living conditions of these migrant workers in the film. I think the value of the film is to reflect the real life of that era. Now the living conditions of migrant workers are much better than that time, but we used to have that era, people used to live like that, which may be the value of this film. " Although she didn't stay in Hainan for a long time, Lu Xiaoya said she did a lot of interviews. "I will interview the migrant workers, go to the civilian work shed to interview them, go to the dance hall to interview them, interview many middle school teachers, and read all the Hainan monthly or daily newspapers I can read. After understanding, I think that place can better express the kind of agitation in China at that time." As for why the film was named "hot love", Lu Xiaoya said that she wanted to express people's attachment to life and life. "It's not entirely a 'love' of love. Of course, there is love here, including the hot land of Hainan. People's attachment to this land, that is, their own life. When I think of a lot, the audience may not understand so much." "Hot love" was watched and cried by many audiences in that year. Lu Xiaoya said that the film expressed people's mental journey after the reform and opening up at that time. "The heroine Wen JieFei's marriage, love and career choice, I want to reflect that era from this perspective. The highest level of appreciation of the film is to find yourself. No matter what occupation you are engaged in, you should maintain a free heart and independent thought." Good movies are fables, which should span time In love, fan Jiyuan falls in love with Wen JieFei. Although he knows that Wen JieFei has a boyfriend, he still pursues Wen JieFei enthusiastically. Some viewers believe that such a view of love is very avant-garde for a film in the 1980s. How did director Lu Xiaoya consider it at that time? Lu Xiaoya said that the story of "passionate love" is not completely viewed from the perspective of love. "I think fan Jiyuan represented a new class at that time, which was full of desire. My film is also expressing people's dilemma in front of desire. This problem may still exist today." In Lu Xiaoya's opinion, Wen JieFei faces the problem of choice, but the choice is very difficult, "Choosing this theme is an eternal theme, which can be expressed by people in any age, but there will be different stories and different characters. Because a person has goals, requirements and desires to promote your progress, and may also bring you degeneration. This is a dilemma. In front of boss fan, we can't say whether he is right or wrong, we can only say that he chooses in the end What? What about his future. Of course, the people of this class have seen their differentiation today, and they have gone to different roads, but this character was indeed representative in the 1980s, which can make many people have very complex feelings. I also understand and sympathize with Wen JieFei. She can't find a house and faces all kinds of embarrassment. Her original boyfriend can't help her. As a woman, she is also exploring another way of life. Choosing boss fan also has a utilitarian material satisfaction. I've been choosing all my life. I didn't criticize her in the film. I also have a tolerant attitude towards her pursuit of a new life. Of course, she also paid the price for her choice. " Lu Xiaoya is very happy that today's young audiences can still like and think about works such as girl in red and love. "In fact, good films are a fable and should span time. It's really the greatest comfort for me that today's audiences can like my films." With the help of literary works re adaptation, express their own thinking Lu Xiaoya's "girl in red" and "love" are adapted from novels. In "love", there are a lot of literary elements, including lyrics using Xu Zhimo's poems, and the protagonist will talk about "nine chapters", Qu Yuan and so on. Lu Xiaoya said she was a lover of literature since childhood, "Because of family and school reasons, I love reading and read a lot of literary works. It can be said that the amount of reading is OK. The accumulation of literature, including music, art and other aspects of art, will provide valuable wealth to the film. As a person, I may pay more attention to this aspect because of my own reading and my love of literature There may be more such expressions in your works. I think a good literary work requires a writer to have a certain reserve of life and a deeper understanding of life in a field, so that he can write good works. " Lu Xiaoya believes that everyone's time and energy are limited, and it is impossible for film directors and screenwriters to have more time to explore all areas of life. Therefore, with the help of the author's original works, I can make up for my lack of time and energy. "It is impossible for film directors and screenwriters to achieve such complexity and depth in the original. I will want to re adapt with the help of literary works to express some of the thoughts, feelings and problems I want to express in my life." However, adaptation is by no means easy. Lu Xiaoya believes that we should be familiar with it first
