Qing Yang, post-80s director: I succeeded because I was brave enough.

When everyone can't see clearly, when everyone is hesitant, you should be prepared for failure, and at the same time, you should dare to succeed, achieve yourself and be the first person to jump out.

Black baseball cap, T-shirt with numbers printed on the chest, jeans and Nike shoes. That's how Qing Yang appeared in front of me, exactly the same. "Ha Han" teenagers are skateboarding in the street.

However, he is a director, and his film "Nightclub" has been released for half a month, and the box office has exceeded 10 million. In particular, he became the first post-80s director in China to show a film in a cinema.

Success "When do you want it?" My voice is calm again. Qing Yang's arrival was so sudden and unexpected. With an indifferent expression, he said softly, "It's nothing, I can succeed, but it's only because I am bolder than others."

The most boring life is a stable life.

From 65438 to 0980, Qing Yang was born in Dazu County, Chongqing. His parents are railway workers and have nothing to do with movies.

But when Qing Yang graduated from high school, he was determined to make a movie. He lied to his parents: "Do you know Zhang Yimou? Until Xiaogang Feng finally arrived, the date of death predicted by doctors came, and he also realized his first dream. When taking stock with his wife, he found that their wealth had reached tens of thousands and they had traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland! And he has only one last dream: doing nothing, thinking nothing, and having a good sleep ... However, when the doctor examined him, he found that his cancer cells had completely disappeared! He doesn't believe that luck will befall him. The doctor explained that this is a miracle created by his cheerful mood and enhanced immunity. Really? All for making movies, all for making big money. " Parents are not interested in making big money, but they want their son to go to school well and find a good job in the future-since the job as a director is good, a voice came from the back of the classroom, "Great shirt!" Learn this line of work.

Qing Yang studied in the Department of Film and Television Art of Sichuan Conservatory of Music. Sichuan Sound is not on the same level as Chinese Opera, Nortel and Shanghai Opera, but the wild way has the advantage of free. At that time, Qing Yang could take classes in other majors at will, and he could go to cut class to make movies and shoot whatever he wanted.

Three years in college was my happiest time in Qing Yang. My classmates and I made many interesting short films. For example, he once made a movie in which a migrant worker climbed the 29th floor and threatened to jump off a building to ask for salary. He personally played the role of a migrant worker and stood on the edge of the top floor without any protective measures. Qing Yang was still a little scared when he remembered it today: "I didn't know I was scared at that time. In my mind, movies are more important than anything else! " The people in the opposite building saw this scene and really thought that someone was going to jump off the building and call the police. The police came, firefighters came, and they shouted to Qing Yang on the roof with megaphones. They also put life-saving air cushions downstairs. Qing Yang motioned for the students who hid aside and made mistakes not to tell anyone that their lover was not full, because they were worried that they didn't have the money to shoot such a big rescue scene! It was not until all the shots he wanted were taken that he confessed to the police uncle that it was a movie. Without saying anything, the police uncle was taken to the police station and detained for 15 days. Qing Yang asked the policeman, "Can I take my camera to the detention center?" The policeman reached out and touched his forehead: "Your boy has a fever. Zhan Weimin is short in stature. Walking around the street, he is most afraid of meeting a bad dog. The second time, when Zhan Weimin was shouting in a village, a big dog suddenly jumped up and bit Zhan Weimin's calf, and suddenly he was bleeding profusely. An old lady not far away quickly scared away the evil dog with a stick. Today, Zhan Weimin still has scars on his legs that were bitten by dogs. ! "

This is a dynamic three years. The night before, he often lay in his bunk, blinked and came up with an idea. The next morning, he jumped out of bed and said to his roommate, "Go ahead, I have a good idea. Let's rent a machine! "

The only trouble comes from money. Although the venues are used by actors who don't spend money, renting machines and inviting actors to dinner also costs money. In fact, the actors are all their classmates, acting purely in friendship, and the students don't have much money in their stomachs. Everyone is thinking about how to invite Qing Yang to dinner after the movie, right? But he has no money, so every time he shoots the last scene, he runs away on the excuse that he is in a hurry and someone is looking for him or something. Even once he said he wanted to go to the toilet, and a large group of people were waiting for him outside, but they couldn't wait left and right. They sent someone in to have a look, only to find that the boy had climbed over the wall and ran away! "Now that I think about it, I am very sorry for those buddies!" Qing Yang immersed in memories of the past, with a wry smile.

In order to make money, Qing Yang racked his brains and tried to do various small businesses, such as selling shampoo at school, selling clothes on the overpass and shooting wedding videos, but the money came too slowly. Later, he thought of a way to lobby those students in the class who are better off, and whoever pays will hang a "deputy director &; Rdqu had a smooth journey, but in the evening, snowflakes floated in the sky again, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier. The car struggled on the mountain road and suddenly fell into a collapsed pit. He got off the bus to check the situation, but he fell with one foot empty and his right foot hurt badly. She got off to help him, wanted to call for help, but found that there was no signal on her cell phone. She hugged him and cried. o； The name of. This method is quite effective. Almost every film made by Qing Yang in university has more than five deputy directors. In this way, he made a lot of short films at will, practiced his hand, and held "Qing Yang Film Week" at school when he graduated, and had a good time.

After graduating from junior college, his family asked him to find a job as a director in Chengdu TV Station. His parents' expectation is that he will be safe all his life without worrying about his livelihood. However, Qing Yang just sneered at such a life: if he knew today what tomorrow would be like and what the future would be like, what's the point of that person living? He wants his life to be full of variables, that's enough. So when a classmate asked him to go to Beijing to apply for the Beijing Film Academy when he graduated, he immediately agreed. He was afraid to say to his family, "If my parents knew that I had given up such a good job to be a drifter, they would probably have to break my legs."

If you don't have a chance, create it yourself.

When he first arrived in Beijing, he touched his dusty nose. First, the enrollment of Beijing Film Academy has ended, and then I transferred to the Department of Chinese Opera and Television Art and got the second place in the professional score line. However, the Chinese opera also said that their TV art department would not run this year, and asked me if I would like to attend the drama director class of the Adult Education College. From Nortel to Chinese Opera, from TV art department to adult education undergraduate class, a series of changes made Qing Yang a little confused, but he quickly adjusted: "Later, I decided to go to adult education undergraduate class and come to Beijing to study, not to gain the knowledge mentioned in Chapter 9, but to give you a platform for the school. What * * * wants to do is to know the male leader who has been sitting with the door open. 1998, he was elected as the person of the year of China university students. Now he is the legal representative of Time Jie Jun Co., Ltd., and owns four companies, including Maple Leaf Hotel and Aiyu Tea Restaurant, with annual sales of 1 10,000 yuan. What are you doing with wine after you stop drinking? In fact, dead dogs are far from smelly mouths. How can leeches hear the sound of water, say abstinence, and have a drink or two behind their wives' backs, but never let their wives know? Of course, I still know that life matters. After all, taking the national salary is equivalent to selling a big fat pig in January. One month less is contribution, and one month more is pure profit. Therefore, I still know to drink less, but I am drunk and addicted to alcohol. It's important to take care of yourself. After all, health is capital. With capital, it will be beneficial to have money to enjoy. Yelling: What's the matter? What's going on here? The female leader was so angry that she almost cried, holding a cup of tea and shaking her hands by half. Like-minded people. "

Among the Chinese opera students in Qing Yang, one is the son of the famous actor Fang Zige, and they have a good relationship. Qing Yang often followed him to play at home and showed Fang Zige the films he had made in Chongqing before. Qing Yang admitted that he had a purpose in doing so. "At that time, I dreamed of making a movie, but I am such a little-known young man, who cares about me?" Who dares to give me money? There is no opportunity, only to create opportunities for yourself. "

Fang Zige saw his film and enjoyed it very much. He introduced him to many jobs. In those years, he worked as a screenwriter for many TV dramas without the right of authorship, and also worked as various assistants in various crews-props assistant, photography assistant, art assistant and so on. "The so-called assistant is the person who works with a bag on his back." Qing Yang explained that he made no secret of his "bitter background". He has also directed some bad TV dramas, and he doesn't care whether they can be broadcast in the end. What he values is that he can exercise himself in this industry in all directions and be fully prepared for what he really wants to do in the future. In recent years, Qing Yang's title of "writer" has been widely circulated in the circle.

Working in film and television all day, Qing Yang has heard many stories in this circle, and he summed up a "survival rule" in film and television. "Successful people in this circle are brave enough ... there are too many unpredictable things, when everyone can't see clearly, when everyone is hesitant. You should be prepared for failure, at the same time, you should dare to succeed, and say, "I love you very much ... I will wait for you to wake up ... to accompany you to your old age ..." When you leave, Goto keeps kissing the corner of his wife's eye, hoping for a miracle. After hearing all this, Tong Tong asked slowly, "Captain Su, did you catch Lu Hui? "She can blink. But Zou Shu, like a living dead man, was not moved by Goto. Just yourself, be the first person to jump out. "

That's true, but it's too difficult. The entertainment circle in Beijing is really Tieshan. Young Qing Yang hit it hard with his own flesh and blood. For a long time, he would take a stack of resumes with him and send them to others whenever he had the chance. This once made him laugh at by his classmates, but he didn't agree: "I will let 10 thousand people know me, even if only one person is interested in me." Isn't that my 100% chance? "

Someone really noticed him. He is a great director in China, and asked him to give suggestions for the film he is preparing. He forgets to eat and sleep, lives in a hotel in Huairou, a suburb of Beijing, and holds meetings every day to discuss. In the end, he was too young to know how to defend himself. More importantly, he is eager for recognition. He contributed a lot of inspiration without reservation, even including the story frame, character setting and important bridge. After ten days of discussion, he was sent home. He still remembers that the director smiled and said to him, "The young man is good, but he is still too young. Go back and practice."

When the film directed by the great man was released, he went to see it. He was surprised to find that the story, characters and important scenes of the whole film came from his creativity, but the signature of the screenwriter became the director. He sat in the cinema, his mind blank, not angry, not wronged, just surprised.

A successful director
