Expert Li Meijin angrily criticized "Flowers", Wong Kar-wai laughed She is the one who understands me best!
Recently, the release of the movie "Flowers" has attracted widespread attention, and the film has also been controversial because of its special creative techniques. However, just when the audience expressed their preferences or criticisms, expert Li Meijin's remarks caused a greater sensation.
Li Meijin, a well-known film critic and cultural scholar, is known for her incisive views and in-depth analysis. Her criticism of "Flowers" is directed at the creative style of the film's director, Wong Kar-wai. In her opinion, Wong Kar-wai has always pursued form and art too much, ignoring the authenticity of emotions and the inner world of the characters.
She believes that this approach is irresponsible to the audience, because what the audience needs is a story that resonates, not just visual and auditory enjoyment.
However, Wong Kar-wai did not show anger or argument in his criticism of Li Meijin, on the contrary, he smiled. In an interview, Wong Kar-wai said: "Li Meijin is the person who understands me best! Her critique is to the point, and what I've been trying to do is find a balance between form and emotion. ”
This answer caused more controversy. Some people agree with Wong Kar-wai's answer, believing that his persistence in film creation is worthy of recognition.
But there are also those who believe that as a director, he should pay more attention to the needs and expectations of the audience, rather than just satisfying his own creative desires.
This debate sparked me thinking about similar issues in the workplace. In the workplace, we are often faced with a choice between form and emotion. For example, should the execution of a project be carried out in a flawless manner, or should it be more focused on collaboration and emotional communication with team members?
One of the projects I was involved in made me feel this problem very deeply. We are a global company and need to design a completely new packaging solution when launching a new product.
Due to the tight schedule, our team decided to pursue formal perfection first and neglect the emotional communication with the client.
However, shortly after the product was launched, we realized that customers weren't as attracted to the packaging as we expected. After investigation and analysis, we found that customers value the actual effect of the product and whether it matches their needs, not just the gorgeous appearance.
This lesson made me realize that in the workplace, we can't just focus on formality and ignore emotion. Whether it's working with team members or communicating with clients, emotions are crucial factors.
It is only by making authentic emotional connections with others that we can better understand and meet their needs.
As Wong Kar-wai said, the balance between form and emotion is an art. In the workplace, we need to find this balance between pursuing our own creative and expressive desires while paying attention to the needs and emotional experiences of others. Only in this way will we be able to achieve better results in the workplace and connect with others on a deeper level.
Returning to the controversy of the movie "Flowers", we can get more inspiration from it. Whether it's a filmmaking or a workplace project, we need to be aware of the needs and expectations of our audience or clients, not just seek formal perfection.
It is only through authentic emotional expression and empathy that we are able to give them a deeper experience and connect with them spiritually.
In the workplace, we need to constantly learn and grow, and find the best balance between form and emotion. Only in this way can we increase our influence and effectiveness in our work, and at the same time, we can gain more recognition and empathy.
Through the film "Flowers" and the debate between Wong Kar-wai and Li Meijin, we can see the struggle and balance between form and emotion, and gain reflections on our own working life. Whether in filmmaking or in the workplace, paying attention to the needs and emotional experiences of our audiences or clients, as well as building an authentic emotional connection with them, is the key to our success.
