Olympic opening ceremony
It is a precious emotion contained in the Oriental feelings, and it is a miracle that contemporary China offers to the whole world. As one of the main members of the core creative team of the Olympic Games, Fan Yue has devoted himself to it with great enthusiasm. With the keen artist and the mind of a patriot, he has used years of artistic accumulation to make a subtle and bold interpretation of the spirit of self-improvement of the Chinese nation and the century-old expectation of the Olympic Games. Great effort was devoted to the final presentation of the Olympic opening ceremony. The opening city turned out to be amazing, and

Impressed by the world, Fan Yue's talent and diligence are being confirmed by continuous success, and his pace of innovation has never stopped: the live-action film developed by him has been partially adopted in the latest work of the "Impression" series, "Impression. Da Red Robe", and has won the national technical patent. It may not be long before a real live-action film is ready.
When Fan Yue sat on the sofa with the new idea of the "impression" series, his dressy clothes and meticulous hairstyle broke many people's symbolic impression of the artist's long hair and flowing, casual dress and even a little sloppy.

"Mistakes should be corrected, shortcomings should not be corrected, waste of time." In one's life, we should seize the time to find our biggest and distinctive advantages, and then magnify them a hundred times, and do this one thing." Fan Yue explained his view of success in this way, do not be affected by the current popular success study, do not learn from celebrities, because even celebrities themselves can not copy themselves. The attitude toward classics should be: I understand, I admire, but I don't imitate. "I do what everyone thinks is impossible, or unreasonable. If you get a little bit done, it's a big deal." It is this unusual path that makes Fan Yue excited about what he will do every day when he opens his eyes, and he is looking forward to new ideas that may come at any time. "The best thing in life is to love one thing, and then keep doing it, and it may become great without noticing."
You will be captured by me
Fan Yue life photo
Fan Yue's calm and comfortable, like his grasp of his own art: "I know that somewhere, you will be captured by me, slowly lead you, let you go with me." He once said that his best artistic collaborator is himself, "to smoke a cigarette, drink a cup of tea, is to play with himself." Just like we worship Buddha, in fact, we play with ourselves, the stone does not speak, I completed it by myself. Art is the same, no one else can replace. My ideal state of life is to make life artistic. This is a great thing for yourself and for others. Fun things are lonely, you think you are lonely, that is an illusion. If you really feel lonely, and loneliness does not bring you beauty and enjoyment, then it is not lonely, but suffering. I don't feel bitter."
You think he's a loner? His wit and humor are easily discernable, even with a wicked twist. During the interview, the photographer squatted on the ground for Fan Yue to take pictures, let him look at the lens and the reader to communicate, Fan Yue stared at the lens, leisurely said: "The position of the reader is so low ah..." His sayings are full of subtlety and charm, and after listening to them, you can taste them for a while. For example, he once said to his daughter: "You are a daughter for the first time, I am a father for the first time, we can both make mistakes."
Fan Yue
Fan Yue's mind and creativity never seem to run out. All kinds of situations and details in life that are often ignored can make him ponder with relish. He said he usually does not exercise, because his inner movement is too rich, the only like to watch is football, "football is the most classic game invented by human beings." It is more commercial and more dramatic than Hollywood's most commercial films - each ball is unrepeatable, each star's personality is different, and even the audience doesn't repeat itself. Contingency, drama, heroism, interaction, unrepeatability, and so on are full of tension and conflict. The drama and the ending is known only to God and unexpected by no one else, and every viewing is like experiencing a magic or adventure. At the same time, the football game is also a microcosm of society, and you will subconsciously measure what role you will play on the field. Forward? Guards? The goalkeeper? This way of engaging the audience is real and moving, and it is the best performance."
From football can be extended to all aspects of life, in fact, how to view the concept of "performance", Fan Yue believes that performance is not only a serious walk into the theater, it can also be watching the person sitting opposite you on the subway; Shopping malls and wet markets are also a form of watching performances. Even to see a doctor, "The hospital is the most instinctive and painful place for human beings, isn't this intriguing drama?" Seeing the demolition news on TV, he would like to do a "news show", "the house is half demolished, what kind of impact will a show on the ruins have?" In Fan Yue's eyes, there is no boundary between art and life, and the form of performance is rich and changeable, "Art itself is interesting, and often we make art boring." The more varied, flexible, and untabooed your view of 'performance', the more astonishing and fascinating your work will be. There is nothing impossible, only the unthinkable."

At the beginning, a new kind of art was created, which was not only a performance revolution, but more like a performance art. Fan Yue believes that this is a common result of his cooperation with nature, "nature is not the set of the performance, but my first script, my performance is just a plan, plus my creativity." It's not that my stuff or ideas are great, if they're good, it's that nature is good. I can think of some ways to bring nature and people closer, to let nature perform the most authentic things. People stand in front of nature, is longing, you may owe it. I think the bigger parent is nature. You have time to see your parents, but not necessarily time to really feel nature."

He believes that "impression" is a kind of poetry and dream, different from memory, memory will disappear one day, but poetry and feeling can remain forever. "Impressions" are like buildings under architects, architects die, but

But it stayed there.

Film career
After the success of the live-action performance, the deviant shouted with action: "I'm going to make a movie!"
This new film model of "reality film" has actually been adopted in Fan Yue's past works.
Impression red robe
"In the emergence, the beginning of the picture. Anyone who has seen the audience of "Impression Red Robe" is all for the period in the performance
Dawangbong
and
Jade Goddess Peak
The chapter was shocked and moved. And this time, Fan Yue wants to do more extreme and thorough, to "live film" this new model as his starting point once again, he wants to be the king and commander of this brilliant sensory world.
"The 3D of traditional movies is to turn the real into a fake, and the real film is to make the" fake "become true, and now the film industry is busy in 3D production, using technical means to make the audience feel like outdoor scene in the room." And the scene of our live performance itself is 3D ah, the mountain is thousands of years old, the stone has been without me. You can smell the air, see the stars, wind, rain and even snow. This new way of watching movies enables you to walk out of the traditional theater and enjoy such a visual feast in the world's largest theater, from beginning to end, you can smell the purest air of nature, here, this scene, this situation and the audience to enter the story and feel the story. This will be an unprecedented ecological cinema full of fresh air, and all our feelings, technology, art, and achievements of modern civilization will return to nature, give back to nature, integrate into nature, and give an account to nature. Why not try this natural 3D movie? Just give me a little more time."

In addition, for me, this is a very new topic - the art view of loneliness. He talks to us about the origins of loneliness, traveling back decades to the Cultural Revolution, when Fan Yue was a child. Because the family composition is not good, will be discriminated against. "You see, the house can be raided several times a year, each time from every corner of the house, looking for those things that are 'funded and repaired'." Speaking of this, Fan Yue also did not forget to humor, "Please, copy so often, those things have not waited for us to get back!" Those people have copied the archeologist's archeological obsession, which is more serious than archeologists. But it's us kids who have the bad luck. My classmates basically live in the same alley, and the next day I would like the whole school to know about it." It's an invisible pressure and low self-esteem that caused the loneliness in my childhood."
Loneliness is a derogatory term in life, but Fan Yue understands it as a positive term in the field of art. "Loneliness itself is beautiful, because art is to do what is beautiful in solitude, and that kind of self-amusement, or must be self-amusement to the point where beauty is not possible, art becomes." Beauty and narcissism, this is the narrow sense of art." This humorous tone of the director, looks like a naive big child, can not see the childhood inferiority in his inner expression of the shadow outside. Inferiority and the feeling of loneliness brought by inferiority gave him a unique vision and attitude to look at things, look at life, and became the "sand grain" of his lonely art theory and artistic achievements, and for decades Fan Yue was responsible for secreting pearls on this sand grain - these pearls are his thoughts and artistic views in loneliness, only in this way, his pearl gradually formed.
The growth process of artists in our pen is often only a few lines of text so simple, but only experienced people or fellow artists know the hardships behind these lines of text, only through a few lines of short text can see behind the more than a thousand lonely figure in the night, or meditation, or buried in the book, it is really like a fleeting time has been limited. Art is the answer to life that artists ask for from time with effort, loneliness and talent. They themselves are unaware of how many bold hypotheses are carefully verified, and only know that the heart of pursuing art and the body of exploring art are happy in it - "lonely and narcissistic!"

Some people desire to go further and achieve more, which also drives them from ordinary to extraordinary. However, there are many people who slowly forget who they are after achieving great achievements. Faced with the great honor of success, Fan Yue did not stop.
Just as the distinction between trees and grass is particularly important in the eyes of botanists, live performance has an unusual significance in Fan Yue's eyes. Fan Yue was clearly aware of the commercial nature of his works from the very beginning, so he dealt with the relationship between art and business very early. Between business and art, he chose to use business to make art. "Because my work must go to the market, otherwise it is worthless, and here a group of people perform without even an audience, is it meaningful?" Is it valuable? Not yet! Without value, there's nothing else to talk about. Therefore, there must be someone to watch, look good, bring people happiness, is our original intention, to be able to touch the audience and themselves. How many years to live depends entirely on artistic value. So let's look at the artistry of live action: Is it a museum? Yes, the whole scene is a nature museum. Is it a tour? Yes, people enjoy the experience of nature. Is it a live show? Of course, it's just that the audience also plays a role in the play. But is the tour itself suggestive enough? Not enough, let the visitors in the vehicle is implied to have joined the show, you will co-create a story. It's very meaningful and artistic." In the end, he added, "People say every day, is it business or art? We don't talk about it. We use business to make art."
Fan Yue said that every day is very excited, because in his view, people are not only love, but also creation. "Not necessarily what kind of inspiration will pop out of my head! Can I not be excited?" The real scene performance of the news event he said is one of them, and there are many people who are heartbroken and want to cry. In the middle, the actors sing and dance, cry and laugh in the roaring machine work, nothing is impossible! We do not condemn the demolition of homes, we do not raise flags to protest, we just cry and laugh to express our thoughts and feelings. It must be a performance of great weight, whether crying or laughing, which can be deafening and enlightening to thinking people, because behind these voices there are events that strike directly at humanity, and what you are Shouting must be true."
This way of expression, which we have hardly ever heard of, secretes an attitude at a time, wants to enter the scope of his thinking, and at the same time agrees with his statement, it will subjectively and unconsciously find reasons for him, because his words and the topic itself are very convincing. Transcendent genius disdains a path trodden by others; he seeks places hitherto unexplored. What Fan Yue wants to develop is to put the language of the film into the live-action performance, so as to create an era of live-action film. This is the upgrade of the real scene performance, is the result of Fan Yue's three years of grinding a sword. Speaking, this big production, big writing, is already in the desk stage. "3D just makes you feel like you can touch, and live action makes that feel real, and the audience, as part of a live action film, can not only feel the real scene, but also participate in the development of the story." When the audience enters it and becomes a character, the audience enters the Hollywood of nature, synchronizes with the director, actors and camera, and the live-action film is shown in the real landscape, you can hear the real sound of water, breathe the clear air, and feel the artistic charm of cleverly combining the stage and the image, and the cinema is just a small dark room."
The live-action film has created a new language environment for the film, and Fan Yue has found a novel expression for the film.

What is the meaning of life? Toward the end of the interview, Fan Yue threw a philosophical question at the reporter.
Looking at the modality of my thinking, he danced completely immersed in expression. "I believe that the meaning of life is to cultivate and harvest every day with hope. Our lives are wasted if we don't save some days for ourselves that bring tears to our eyes."
Growth is the nature of all things, by reason and not. The seeds sprout into trees, blossom and bear fruit, and then... Absorbing knowledge and thinking have made great progress in human thought. Fan Yue, a thinker, has achieved himself by thinking in solitude. His source of happiness has always been his thinking and his art. For him, to be able to light a cigarette, sit in a chair and meditate for a moment, is the most happy and enjoyable thing.
If life is compared to a drama with both sorrow and joy, then for Fan Yue at this time, the drama has reached a higher stage in the course of life. The success of the live-action film will be no less than a "sea tide sound, do the lion roar" in the Chinese film industry and even the world film industry. Fan Yue is a peak of Chinese stage art design; For the foreseeable future, it will also be a peak in the field of live-action films.
God sometimes gives beauty, grace, and talent to a person's body, so that what he does is exceptional, and his genius comes from God rather than human forces... His grace and beauty are unmatched, and his intelligence is so high that it can solve any problem.

This paragraph needs some courage as the end of Fan Yue's interview, because this paragraph is Vasari's evaluation of the Renaissance giant
Da Vinci
Yes. In the future, only time will tell if this is a beautiful or slightly inadequate statement. In fact, one does not need to experience much to understand that life is in fact an interwoven small and great. Say small, small in the humility of people; Speaking of greatness, greatness is found in the days of our own creation that are enough to bring tears to our eyes.
