Recently, there has been a striking news in the film industry: the well-known director Wang Jing publicly praised a movie called "Article 20", and also gave high praise to the director of this film.
Before we dive into this question, we need to know a little bit of background. Wang Jing and Zhang Yimou are both heavyweights in the Chinese film industry, and they both have rich creative experience and outstanding achievements. Wang Jing is best known for his commercial films, while Zhang Yimou has won widespread acclaim for his unique artistic style and profound thematic connotations. However, due to their very different creative styles, there may also be differences in the evaluation of the same film.
Returning to the movie "Article 20", it is reported that Wang Jing is full of praise for it, thinking that it is a very good work. So, what is so special about Article 20? First of all, "Article 20" is a film on social realities, which shows the various dilemmas and challenges faced by people in modern society by digging deep into the inner world of the characters. Secondly, the film's narrative technique is unique and the plot is compact, which makes people can't help but be moved in the process. Finally, the film's cast is also very good, and they bring the characters to life and convincing with their delicate performances.
Zhang Yimou's affirmation of Article 20 can be viewed from another angle. As a representative figure of Chinese film, Zhang Yimou has been committed to promoting the development of Chinese film, and his pursuit of film art and exploration of innovation has always been at the forefront. Therefore, for such an innovative work as "Article 20", Zhang Yimou will naturally speak highly of it. In addition, although Zhang Yimou and Wang Jing have very different styles, they also have something in common, such as the grasp of the storyline and the requirements for the actors' performances are very high. Therefore, the high praise of Article 20 can also be seen as the point of convergence between them in their artistic pursuits.
To sum up, the reason why "Article 20" was able to win the favor of Wang Jing and Zhang Yimou was mainly because it had excellent performance in social reality issues, narrative techniques and actors' performances. At the same time, it also shows that directors of different styles can also appreciate and learn from each other, and jointly promote the development of Chinese films. For the audience, this is undoubtedly a positive signal, which means that there will be more excellent film works in the future to meet everyone's pursuit and love for film art. Of course, we must also realize that the success of a film is not accidental, it requires the joint efforts of directors, actors, screenwriters and other parties. Therefore, the success of Article 20 is also inseparable from the hard work and talented creation of all participants. In the future, we look forward to seeing more similar works appear, injecting new vitality and impetus into the development of Chinese films. At the same time, we also hope that directors can respect and learn from each other, and jointly contribute to the prosperity and development of China's film industry.
