Introduction and detailed information of the king of children

Synopsis During the ten years of turmoil, on a hill surrounded by mountains, there was a humble school with few teachers. One day, the captain called an educated youth who had been in line for seven years and sent him to school as a "king of the children" and a teacher. After learning the news, the educated youth were happy with their partner's commitment and very excited to see him off. From then on, "king of the children" became his nickname. The school appointed the king of children to teach the third grade, which surprised him. Only the headmaster of the primary school encouraged him to shoulder this burden. The king of children has a lot to worry about. School political learning materials are piling up, but students have no books in their hands, so they have to learn critical materials. Criticism articles have been studied one article after another, but children don't even know the new words in primary school textbooks. The children's king was deeply moved, so he had to learn from reading and memory.

After the holiday, king of the children returned to the team to visit everyone. Everyone had a good time, but he was depressed. When he left, Lydia, who wanted to teach music at school, sent him away specially. Months passed, and the children got along well with the students. Wang Fu, from a poor family, really wants to take this dictionary to Tong Wang. When arranging the composition, he bet his dictionary that he could write a composition describing tomorrow's labor today. In the evening, he and his father went into the mountains to cut bamboo and finished their composition in the middle of the night. The King of Children told him that "writing one thing is always afterwards". Wang Fu knew that he had lost it and couldn't get the dictionary. He is determined to copy all dictionaries. Educated youths dropped in to see The King of Children, and they were coaxed into giving them a class. The king's children solemnly told the story of "Once upon a time there was a mountain". The story is passed from one classroom to another, and the students are constantly reading. In the evening, Wang Fu is still copying the dictionary with The Oil Lamp King. He copied a big pile of jute paper, but she couldn't understand it. She asked the children if they could copy more words when they went to the brigade. King of the children stimulates students' interest in learning with its unique teaching method, but it goes against the teaching content. He was finally transferred back to the team by his superiors. Before leaving, he left the only dictionary to Wang Fu, and wrote on the table: Wang Fu, don't copy anything, don't copy dictionaries in the future.

Behind-the-scenes tidbits Because the original author Acheng didn't participate in the script writing, Xiying was in a hurry to get the script passed. Chen Kaige asked his friend Wan Zhixian to change a first draft for the factory review, and made it clear in advance that in case of shooting, books would not be used. Chen Kaige wrote the script he shot later? . Except for the old pole, all the characters in this film are amateur actors? . In order to accurately grasp the physical state of the characters, Xie Yuan did not take a bath for three months when shooting the first location and two months when shooting the second location. He peeled off two layers of skin in order to get a tan? . Because of the camera door problem, most of the first lens that the film crew took 40 days to shoot was scrapped. When the cast was shrouded in disappointment, Chen Kaige used his experience of jumping the queue to encourage everyone to continue filming? . 1987, China Film Corporation held the first Chinese film exhibition, but king of the children failed to catch up with the registration time and was not included in the official catalogue of participating films. Wu personally rushed to the scene, holding a movie poster and arranging a screening. As a result, the film was bought by 14 countries? . At the 4 1 Cannes film festival, this film was signed by a group of film reporters as "the most boring film" and awarded the "golden alarm clock award"? . Award-winning results of the time award of the honor record award 1988 The 8th China Film Golden Rooster Award? The best feature film "The King of Children" was nominated for a special award.

1986, Xiying asked Chen Kaige to put "Greening Tree" on the screen, but because the original work had to be changed considerably, and it was July, the season needed for the film was winter, and Chen Kaige couldn't wait that long, so he made "King of Children" instead. Among Acheng's novels The Three Kings, Chen Kaige likes king of the children best. He thinks that the novel profoundly shows the relationship between culture and people, and traces back to the cultural background of various social disasters in China? .

Creative theme

After reading the novel, Chen Kaige's deepest feeling is that he hopes future children will not accept the kind of education he received when he was a child: with a non-materialistic attitude, he only talks about positive things to students, so that they have a kind of social fantasy, while adopting a compulsory indoctrination method is to train students into screws distributed in the social machine, resulting in their blind obedience, weak will and no creative spirit. Therefore, the first level he established for the film was a denial of the stale and misleading educational methods. Secondly, he wanted to focus on criticizing the negative things in China culture that bound people's originality. At the same time, I also incorporated my own life experience and experience in my creation, especially my thoughts on culture, human dignity and human value? .

The evaluation of movies raises a very important question: what is culture, what is civilization and how to treat it. The author thinks about humanity, humanitarianism, human value and culture. Movies give people real feelings, especially in expressing people's feelings and inner world. What is particularly beautiful, in sharp contrast to the objective environment and people's attitudes and behaviors? . (Former Deputy Director of Film Aesthetics Research Office of China Film Art Research Center? Chen Xihe Review)

This film raises many questions and is worth discussing. In art, the magnificent beauty of nature is in sharp contrast with the inferiority of human beings, which has a shocking effect. This film shows people's thirst for knowledge. There is a contradiction here: Lao Gan finally came to the conclusion that it is best to abandon culture, but what he taught his children to abandon culture was China culture, and he could not escape from the circle of culture. This is also a human tragedy. The depth of this film lies in showing people's embarrassment? . (Comments by Li Tuo, former deputy editor-in-chief of Beijing Literature)

The greatest success of this film is that it shows that film means can express the inner world of the characters. The protagonist's language is not much, and according to the traditional drama structure, there are not many places to express his thoughts with plot conflicts, but the protagonist's thoughts and feelings can be experienced by the audience. The film's handling of the plot and image is very natural, and the emotion expressed by the lens of the old pole swinging its sleeves is shocking and wonderful, which is a stroke of genius? . (Commentary by film screenwriter Ye Nan)

The film presents a single-lens aesthetic style in the sense of film ontology, which does not let the activities of characters become the dominant factor restricting the movement of photographic grating, and pushes the photography mode of fixed seats to the extreme. Obviously, it has an internal connection with the specific cultural significance that the director wants to reveal in the film. This film is a cultural film, and its theme is undoubtedly aimed at China's ontological culture. The two main cycles in the film (students copying books and Wang Fu copying dictionaries) were shown in a negative way by the director, but when they first saw these scenes in the film, the audience saw the positive side. The contradiction between the director's subjective intention and the objective effect reflected in his works is a problem of grasping multiple forms of film art expression as a whole. There are some contradictions in the application and combination of literary narrative methods and non-literary narrative methods in movies. .
