Life

Ten years as a director

Xu Fujun started as an assistant, a field reporter, a screenwriter, and a deputy director. It took him ten years to become a director. But he didn't think it was suffering. Instead, it was a good opportunity to learn. During this period, he made a feature about people. He took a train to Hualien and then took a bus to xiaoyugang in Taitung to find the interviewees. At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, the other party chewed betel nut and got drunk. He rode a motorcycle to pick him up. After resting in a dirty restaurant near the fishing port, he had to get up at three o'clock in the morning the next day and eat porridge with a group of fishermen who were going to start fishing later. "Can you eat that kind of porridge?" But no matter how hard you can't eat it, you have to swallow it.

Then he participated in the production of lighting, an old program that seems to be "grateful" all the time. He made Xu Fujun know many vulnerable and ordinary people, listened to them share stories, and even became old friends with many interviewees for more than ten years. Slowly, his vision widened and he learned how to think from the perspective of others. In the production of the documentary "Wangxiang", Xu Fujun spent ten consecutive months with two foreign workers. In the evening, he drove to the construction site to chat with each other for two or three hours. "Every time he talked, it would be different. Maybe he talked dozens of times before the other party told you that he was gay." Even if the process is long, only in this way can we discover the truth. Only after we get along with each other can we open our hearts and share our feelings. It is Xu Fujun's responsibility to present the most real characters.

Nowadays, there is not enough time to make TV dramas like documentaries or movies. "70% of the time is to coordinate and deal with emergencies, and only 30% of the time is really spent on making films." As we all know, many TV plays are often written, filmed and played at the same time, and the quality of their presentation is often criticized. On the other hand, how to do the best in the limited resources, Xu Fujun said with a smile, is a unique challenge in the production of TV plays. For example, the reason why sharp wife makes people feel so real is that as the script goes along, the actors in it live with the plot and integrate into the play, "just like when the script writes about breaking up, the actors will also feel sad." The shooting location of "little bourgeois girl rushes forward" is Taimao, a department store where people come and go. He has to think about the angle of the picture while trying to overcome the situation.

Children give second life

He's very busy making TV series. Xu has rarely seen his favorite movies, but now he spends his spare time with his two children he loves more. Before he had a child, he was "free" and felt that he could "do whatever he wanted, even if the script was bad". He was anxious to write, saying "I feel" and "I hope" and living in his own world. "But when you have children, you know what it's like to live for others. Now too many people are self-centered and don't know what it means to be for others. " It can be seen from Xu Fujun's first film "sleepwalking in Hawaii". At that time, the child was still in his wife's stomach, and the film showed a sense of rationality and criticism. After the birth of the child, although the little guy was "ugly, bloody, wrinkled, and wanted to spend my money", he cried with excitement in the delivery room twice, "we often see a lot of production plays, and other people are crying Outside the delivery room, he was worried. Then he heard the baby's "Whoa, whoa," and the actor yelled, "have a baby, have a baby!" Is it fun? In fact, it's like this, but the key is whether the actors feel the details carefully, and the feeling will be different. "

"Only when you have children can you find the wonder of life. Your feelings become different, your attitude towards life is different, and you know that the feeling of love is different." "I've never had an affair or divorce. How can I make sharp wife? It's to stand in each other's perspective and stand and learn to feel their feelings. " It is because of this considerate mood of others that we can make a deep and good work. Speaking to Director Xu in front of me makes me feel so warm. I hope he will continue to move more audiences through more good works in the future.

On September 28, 2020, the urban emotional drama "the rational who can't fall in love" was officially launched in Suzhou.
