Tian Zhuangzhuang, the director of 10, was forbidden to shoot a film.

?

He is the fifth generation director in our country, as well as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.

But people think that he has disappeared from the film circle for many years, so that almost no one cares.

For his early films, more is "incomprehensible" and "personality".

He said, "My film is for the audience in the next century."

He is the director Tian Zhuangzhuang.

He was once banned from filming for ten years because of a film called Blue Kite, which caused an uproar.

In those years when he didn't make movies, he didn't want to leave movies.

Tian Zhuangzhuang has trained many directors of the sixth generation, who are short of money to find money.

Later, he came to teach at the Beijing Film Academy, and his colleagues commented that he "made you feel that our time is still gentlemanly." Is to give everything you know and learn to your children without reservation. "

It seems that Tian Zhuangzhuang was born for movies.

Tian Zhuangzhuang was born into a famous artistic family. His father Tian Fang is a famous actor, a veteran of Beijing Film Studio and the first deputy director of the New China Film Bureau. His mother Yu Lan is an actress in Jiang Jie and the first director of China Children's Film Studio after the Second Moscow Film Festival.

Tian Zhuangzhuang, who grew up in such a family, didn't know much about what his parents did when he was a child. When he has nothing to do, he goes to the set or goes to the movies. He watched several movies a day, and once he even vomited in Tian Zhuangzhuang.

Tian Zhuangzhuang even thought the film was so boring that he would never watch it again.

When he was older, Tian Zhuangzhuang was a little sensible, but he wanted to avoid the aura of his parents, because people always said that he would be like Tampa's son, which made him very disgusted.

At school, someone even came to see him like an animal, so he didn't get dressed properly and deliberately made himself look like a punk.

Life was so peaceful until he was 15 years old.

That year, my father was classified as a capitalist roader and my mother was classified as a black five.

He rode to the gate of the North Film Factory and silently looked at his reformed father.

He said that he seemed to grow up suddenly from that day on.

Tian Zhuangzhuang was arranged to jump the queue, and one year later he went to the agricultural film studio for three years.

He also touched the camera for the first time. The first time he touched it, he felt numb and brittle. That kind of unreal feeling made him suddenly have a good impression on the guy in his hand.

Once he went to make a movie, and the harsh environment made him get malaria. More than a month later, he plunged into the water while filming.

He was rushed to the hospital and was in a coma for nearly a week. As a result, he woke up and coaxed the nurse to pull out the needle. He ran to the shooting location and picked up the machine.

At that time, he fell in love with movies deeply.

Later, 26-year-old Tian Zhuangzhuang became the first batch of candidates after the college entrance examination resumed.

Just finished the exam for half an hour, he suddenly stood up and said that he would hand in the paper. The teacher asked him to check it again. He said it was useless, then walked out of the examination room and went directly to buy popsicles.

Tian Zhuangzhuang originally went to the North Film Photography Department, but as a result, he turned to the director class because he was over age.

After entering the director department, Tian Zhuangzhuang became the only student in the class who touched the camera.

His maverick began to show up again. He feels that you can't learn real skills simply by studying textbooks. You must practice and touch the camera yourself.

But the conditions were really limited at that time, and the students didn't have the opportunity to do practical exercises. So Tian Zhuangzhuang went out to find a teacher and the headmaster to grind, giving students a chance to practice.

During his four years in college, he shot four works, setting a record.

Because the tradition at that time was that the new director had to write it down on the spot first, and he had been an assistant director for three years before he had the opportunity to make an independent film.

Therefore, Tian Zhuangzhuang became the brightest star at that time.

In the year of graduation, with the support of his mother, he took 500 yuan from the studio and went to Yunnan to shoot Red Elephant.

This film is particularly bitter. I am often woken up by fleas and lice at night, and I have to ride a borrowed bicycle to run forty or fifty kilometers of mountain roads during the day.

Although that time was bitter, it became the most carefree time in Tian Zhuangzhuang.

1985, he released the hunting ground Zasa, which really established his film style.

At the time of censorship, no one could understand the film.

Some people even said: Who are you making this movie for? Who can understand it?

However, this unknown film, Wang Shuo commented: "This film is like a big ear sticker, which is attached to the faces of China audiences, and every fan counts."

Martin scorsese, a famous director, also said that after watching Zasa in Hunting Ground, he felt that Tian Zhuangzhuang would become the greatest director in China.

After that, Tian Zhuangzhuang went further and further in this expression style.

A year later, he directed horse thief.

After watching the movie, someone asked Tian Zhuangzhuang, "Can you tell me what the movie is about?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang replied, "You are what you think."

Since then, Tian Zhuangzhuang's films have been labeled as "incomprehensible" by the audience.

During that time, people wrote letters to scold Tian Zhuangzhuang every day, and he probably wrote more than 20 letters.

The result was an angry comment: "No one has seen this movie."

These misunderstandings made Tian Zhuangzhuang feel desperate, and he bowed his head to support himself.

"I have made four or five plays in a row, and I have no intention or experience at all. I was in a particularly embarrassing state at that time, giving up myself and giving up movies. In fact, I looked down on myself at that time. "

Until 1992, his life changed.

"Mixed up for a few years feel very boring. I think I still want to shoot what I like, so I started shooting Blue Kite, from which I knew what I really wanted to shoot. "

A year later, The Blue Kite, full of political elements, came out.

But because of this film, Tian Zhuangzhuang's career as a director was sealed.

He once again showed his small temper, because the film was very big and sensitive, but he sent it directly to the Tokyo Film Festival and won the best film and best actress awards.

However, it also led the official delegation of China Film to angrily withdraw from the film festival and solemnly protest.

Tian Zhuangzhuang was banned from filming for ten years.

Some people say that even if Tian Zhuangzhuang doesn't make movies all his life, he and Blue Kite are legends in the history of China movies.

In those years when he was not a director, he never left the film.

He is a producer, actor and student.

Someone felt sorry for him, but he was relaxed:

"Nothing, what do you think it's a pity that I haven't made a movie for ten years, right? But I don't feel sorry for myself. I did a lot of things, and then everything I did was related to movies. "

He invested in the younger generation of directors. "He threw a bloody blow at these people."

In 2002, he returned to his alma mater, Beijing Film Academy, to teach.

He helps students find a studio and takes them to practice, just as he tried to get a chance to touch the camera for everyone.

Whenever students graduate, he always tells them, "If you need my help or I can help you when you leave this school, please let me know."

Now 68-year-old Tian Zhuangzhuang will still make a guest appearance in film and television dramas, but he said:

"In fact, I envy the life of wild cranes in the clouds. There is a piece of land in the mountains, and then the place is like spring all the year round. Not big. I planted something. These things are not for eating, but for exercising and nourishing. Then read some books, watch some movies, drink some wine and chat with everyone. "

He also said that he especially liked the films directed by Kusturica. In movies, you will feel that even if the world is in chaos, people should drink and sing without hesitation.
