Although "Blue Bird's Sky" and "Let Love Make the Call" both express emotions, they It's not so sharp anymore, and it's back to warmth. Nowadays, people are indifferent and hypocritical to each other, but in their hearts they still long for the simple feelings of the past, so everyone starts to feel nostalgic. But when you feel nostalgic, you don’t mean to take pictures of old houses, courtyards, old men and old ladies, or eat fried noodles with cucumbers. This story takes place completely in the most modern unit. It is a search in progress and a search for the future. The protagonist we chose is a bankrupt man. He started a new life as a driver, and he is used to and likes such an ordinary life. My play is facing modern times. I also borrowed the styles of some Japanese and Korean dramas in the play. I want to make it another extreme.

3 Features

Zhang Jiandong’s every jump in the choice of genre and his persistence in achieving the ultimate make several of his works can be said to be... After achieving success, he said that he wanted to shoot different things, but he admitted that this was also very difficult. "To achieve this step, you need to rely on your own years of accumulation and experience. At the same time, creators must continue to recognize new things, and the audience's understanding of film and television, culture, etc. is constantly improving. If successful people are attached to their own success, , his works 10 years ago and 10 years later are the same. His thoughts are still stuck 10 years ago, so he will naturally fall behind. But he must make new ideas in the genre he identifies, and he must have new discoveries, personality and distinction. , It can be said to be a difficult struggle.”

4 Self-evaluation

Regarding his own success, Zhang Jiandong believes that what he focuses on in his works is the person himself and the way he tells stories.

"The works I shoot focus more on people themselves. I don't want the characters in the works to be non-three-dimensional. How can I impress the audience? This is also one of the reasons why I like to express social issues, because social issues It helps a lot in establishing the plot and is more attractive to the audience.

Structure is another factor that I pay attention to, which is how you want to tell the story. I think artistic creators always. You underestimate the intelligence of the audience. You think you can shoot whatever you want and just throw in a little wisdom. Nowadays, as long as there are dozens of channels to choose from in any medium-sized or above city, the audience cannot be without judgment. You underestimate the intelligence of the audience. As soon as the remote control in the hands of the audience moves, they will watch something else. So I am obsessed with the way I tell stories. I don’t want to make martial arts movies or anything like that. I think those things are too presumptive and I don’t like it.” p>

　5 Personal Charms

I have heard others say that some actors cannot get into a role played by Zhang Jiandong, and they have to pick out the logical accent. Director Zhang laughed, "I pay more attention to actors' lines. I feel that our lines or speech are too careless now. The charm of our Chinese language has almost been lost. The beauty, rhythm and logic of Chinese are all very rigorous and regular. . And the quality of the lines directly affects the final result. Some directors said that they could not even understand their scenes after they were filmed. When I was filming "Absolute Control", I put forward the slogan of paying tribute to the drama, but I think I That play was a bit overdone, too dramatic. I wonder why northerners speak in southern dialect and Hong Kong and Taiwanese accents. Is our language just a joke? I hope there will be no pseudo-Hong Kong and Taiwanese accents in my own plays. It should be clean, graceful, and have the characteristics of northern language. It should be the cleanest and purest.”

　6 Character

Looking at Zhang Jiandong’s works will make people understand his own character. When the reporter expressed his interest or question hesitantly, he readily admitted that his personality affects his work. "A person's personality will definitely affect his works, and the formation of his personality is related to his family environment. My family was not smooth, and I developed personality traits such as sensitivity and suspicion, so my personality will be exposed in my works. . My works are more emotional, and there are some morbid things in the characters. I am willing to let what I express go deep into my heart, and focus on the human body.

There is a sentence that impressed me the most, it says a good thing. There is only a wall between artistic creators and mental patients. People always say that I am old-fashioned. Some friends are worried that my old-fashioned attitude will affect my works. They said they did not expect that my works have such ultimate expression. I thought about it, there are a few things in a person's heart, and what he releases may be something you haven't seen or discovered. Therefore, when I'm filming, I always find a way to touch myself first. The director is also the audience. I think we should create something that is the essence of life. Some actors have good lines, but they are not moving because they have no emotions. Sometimes, the actors find me crying behind the camera, which is very strange, and the director himself said it. I even cried. ”
