Jiang Wen says

Jiang Wen said that when he was a child, the children of the army courtyard passed the Fuxingmen Bridge by car and pointed at passers-by: Look, these are ordinary people.
Jiang Wen said that they knew from a young age that "we are not allowed to surrender when we fight."
Jiang Wen also said that when "The Sun Also Rises" was released, he would sneak into the movie theater to buy tickets and watch the audience move forward and backward with the plot.
Twenty years, four movies, in front of outsiders, Wang Shuo patted his chest and said that Jiang Wen could still make good movies for ten years.
Humans are created equal, but to tell the truth, their aptitudes and appearances are different from each other, so I can't complain. I secretly think that the most capable group in a certain society will always be responsible for producing "meaning" and remain silent, and the rest of the masses, regardless of talent, status, economy, or beauty, can only follow the noise and be confused. guess. A small group is always a small group, and when the bystanders are arguing and arguing, they ride towards the next intersection. Just like Rodin, who can sculpt, because of his enthusiasm, he makes a beautiful man or woman, but he never has a name. The visiting reporters contributed their ideas like birds, and at the end, the master put out his pipe and said, just do what XX said just now.
Therefore, for true "art practitioners", there is no need to guess motives or speculate on intentions. I've seen it, I've been crazy, I've had fun, I've had fun, and it's enough. If you get angry with metaphors and techniques, and you can't figure it out, you will be really confused.
"Let the Bullets Fly" hit the pleasure center of the times. Whether it is a symbol or a satire, this is our problem, not necessarily Jiang Wen's problem. At the end of the film, I found out that I was deceived: it turned out that Mr. Zhang Muzhi, who goes by the alias Zhang Mazi, raised his gun to aim at the Mercedes-Benz train was just a pretense. It turned out that the game of Goose City Hoeba was also a pretext. The story, the climax, the logic, the characters also don't matter. In the setting sun, the mob moved their belongings, and the brothers went abroad, leaving only one good person and one bad person, summing up their respective wins and losses in several rounds. Jiang Wen's bullet finally confessed: individuals, naked individuals, good and bad, red and black, are all individuals. If "ism" is suffixed after the individual, it is roughly also said.
Jiang Wen's influence was buried in the violence of sweating profusely. He followed his school uniforms, copper-headed belts and manganese-steel bicycles, and his childhood skills of fighting and arranging bricks in four and nine cities for a lifetime. To watch is to encounter, narrow streets, no way out. Some people say that "there is no urine point in the whole article", it is not that the work has reached its peak, but that it is impossible to switch to other rhythms after getting on this boat. Jiang Wen's domineering does not need to be concealed. A few years ago, he ridiculed the clumsiness in John Woo's "Red Cliff", "I found a group of children to fight, which is better than his." Just as Wang Shuo's arrogance disturbed the situation in the literary world, Jiang Wen was an old bastard who carried a gun in the film industry, pitied the general companions of the Lunar New Year stalls, and bumped into a desperate Saburo.
Jiang Wen's dissatisfaction with this "China" is obvious, not because he always satirizes the revolutionary masses who do not know the truth, but because of his deep heroic complex in his bones. "Bullet" is a severely tilted scale, with Jiang Wen and Chow Yun-fat at one end and one evil at one end, and various people under Master Tang's command at the other. Good people live alone, and bad people die without anyone to be buried with them. Rather, Jiang Wen has a deep contempt for group carnivals and fake personalities in the 2.0 era. He only believes in one person's power, decision-making, and actions. Fairness is not a problem, development is not a problem, controversy is not a problem, and evil is not a problem. Where in the world can we find such unreasonable "individualism"? If you fight with me and then be abandoned by me, you are not allowed to say half a word, and you are willing to admit defeat.
I believe that those details that have been discussed in the market are really useless. Jiang Wen put star faces as advertisements in his works, which is nothing more than comforting the profit rules of the film market. If the movie can be a one-man show, he may not be able to solve everything by himself, or Wang Shuo said it well: Jiang Wen is a person who understands everything...
Summarize the main idea: Don't compete with Jiang Wen, don't put it down Jiang Wen is serious, the cold winter is quiet, the years make people grow old, and it's not good to have time to do something.

    It's not good-looking, it's nothing funny, and I don't understand what happened to those people who were praised on the Internet before.

    There are still romantic imaginations, crazy aesthetics, and extreme performances. However, Jiang Wen said this time that he wanted everyone to understand, so he did not let go of any detailed explanations. When the sturdy life began to explain, so the feelings and poetry were gone, of course. Do all directors’ aesthetics have to pretend to cater to the audience and lower their standards? Well, the market has won, and now I can understand and laugh.
