Penson's business card is artistic. It is printed with "the 13th China Film Huabiao award winning film", "walking to school"; Peng Chen: screenwriter; director. The style of the business card is the same as the poster style of walking to school: cordial, warm and pure. When I met Peng Chen, he just hung up. He called his daughter and asked if his baby had arrived home safely. He was afraid that the new baby sitter would pick up the wrong child because she was not familiar with her daughter's appearance. Walking to school is Peng Chen's first work. It's a dream he's had for 41 years. In fact, it's also a gift for his daughter. Her daughter tears every time she sees it. A ten-year-old girl has learned to cherish it. Peng Chen said that children's films should start from touching children.
Movie dream
Cinema is a place where one can dream. The cinema lights up in dreams. In this dream place, every movie Peng Chen watched was like a student sitting in a classroom listening to a teacher's lecture: his back was straight, his feet were close together, his hands were on his thighs, his eyes were 45 ° forward, and his body was slightly forward. Yes, when everyone else leans on the back of the cinema chair, only his body leans forward slightly. He has a habit: he leaves after watching all the subtitles, so he is always the last one to walk out of the cinema. In 1985, when Peng Chen was 17 years old, he filled in "Beijing Film Academy" in his college entrance examination, but he missed it. In 2009, 24 years later, Peng Chen was admitted by Beijing Film Academy. In 24 years, all he did was to make his arms turn into wings; in 24 years, all he did was to make his legs have the power to touch the door. For 24 years, he let others sit in the cinema and watch his dreams. The post production of walking to school took two years. In these days, with a big bag on his back, he crowded the bus, took the subway, and walked on the streets of Beijing with a bottle of mineral water in his hand. "Suddenly, he went back to the years when he just started his business in Shenzhen in 1989." He said, "when you reach middle age, you find yourself in a state of twenty-one or twenty-two. I know that's what makes you happiest.". He said that Beijing was his favorite place, and it was the centripetal force of Chinese films that attracted him in the past. He compared Beijing to "Yan'an" in the hearts of revolutionary youth during the war years.
Hard work experience
The person who used to be an ideal of "fashion designer" finally became a casual tailor; the person who used to be an ideal of "photography artist" finally couldn't even get along in the wedding studio. "Ideal is just a seed at the beginning. You have to find the most suitable sunshine, air and water for it to grow into a big tree one day," Peng Chen said Peng Chen, 17, missed his movie dream, but he didn't give up his dream. After that, he majored in Chinese at a local teachers' college. Reading, poetry writing, photography and music were compulsory courses for him. His first photographic novel love was published in Zhuzhou radio and TV news in 1986. He graduated from university in 1988 and was recognized by Wu Xiaoping, who was preparing Hunan News pictorial at that time. He broke into the newly founded newspaper office and became the youngest chief reporter in Hunan Province in less than a year. That year, Peng turned 21. Peng Chen left Shenzhen in 1989 and entered the advertising industry. And from that year began to grow a beard, until today. After many years of hard work, Peng Chen and his brother Peng jiahuang established the first and only "advertising studio" in China, Shenzhen new classic advertising studio Co., Ltd., whose large scale and high customer loyalty attract the attention of the whole industry. This advertising company, located in Futian Free Trade Zone, Shenzhen, has a business area of more than 4000 square meters and provides professional services for China Merchants Bank, Renhe pharmaceutical and other domestic first-line brands. In 2002, by chance, Peng Chen returned to his hometown and established the first local real estate marketing professional company, Hunan new classic real estate consulting Co., Ltd., which quickly became a local benchmark enterprise. Customers were attracted by the company and the company was in the limelight for a while. "After 20 years of advertising, I almost hit the ceiling. What's more, I always feel that this is an industry without dignity. " Peng Chen said, "I have money in my hand and dreams in my heart. When I get to middle age, I think it's time to go straight to my dreams."
Film achievements
In August 2009, "walking to school" won four nominations of the 13th China Film Huabiao award, the highest government award of Chinese film, including the "best new screenwriter Award", and finally won two awards of "excellent children's film and excellent children's actor". On October 17, 200, walking to school won two nominations of the 27th Golden Rooster Award for Chinese film, including the first director award, and the best children's film award. People familiar with Peng Chen say that today's success is the result of his accumulated experience: the reporter's experience has refined his literary foundation; the boss's experience has given him extraordinary market acumen. The fascination with words, the fever with music and the persistence in movies over the past decades have written the best annotation for this legend. I am deeply impressed by Peng Chen's saying: "behind every accident, there is a necessity." You have to die in your own hands. A reporter once described Mr. pengchen as a sad man in his heart. Mr. Pang Chen praised him for "seizing himself" and included the reporter's interview draft in his new book "Chen Xiang: movie notes on walking to school". He admitted that he was a pessimist. However, during the more than an hour I spent with him, I thought he was a very "balanced" person. There are sadness and pessimism, but they are well balanced in his other personality. This kind of balance is very similar to the tune of "walking to school": the smile, tears, innocence, friendship, persistence and dream in the film are just like writing brush words: ink, slowly fainting, invisibly sneaking into the hearts of the audience. Peng Chen defines himself as the third generation of directors with good market awareness, rich financing channels and high artistic consciousness. In order to release "walking to school", Peng brothers set up "Shenzhen new classic film production and Distribution Co., Ltd". Mr. Peng Chen said: if the distribution is done according to the conventional way of thinking, how can this low-cost art film with a small theme and no stars compete with those blockbusters that are often over 100 million? "The great cause of the founding of the people's Republic, the wind and Astro Boy, any one of them will break you to pieces. If we leave it to the distribution companies, they will only arrange the time according to the commercial elements of the film. The final result is that we don't even know how to die for films without any commercial gimmicks. He said that "if you want to die, you can only die in your own hands", so he set up his own distribution company. He wants to make clear every link from production to distribution. The act of setting up a distribution company can not but be said that Mr. Peng Chen is trying to balance the position of his first film on screen in Chinese films.
