Surrealism and other modern literary features of Zhang Ming's film Wushan Yu Yun.

1995, the sex on Wushan quietly came out. Due to various complicated reasons, it has not been possible to meet the audience through the cinema. One night eight years later, the movie channel publicly aired Wushan Yu Yun for the first time. However, the audience is still very limited.

On June 1 day, 2003, the world-famous Three Gorges Dam began to store water. With the continuous improvement of water level, within 400 kilometers to the west of the dam, towns below 135 meters above sea level will gradually disappear below the water surface. CCTV broadcast the water storage process live, and the whole world witnessed the great changes of the high gorge leaving Pinghu.

Almost at the same time, the genuine VCD of Wushan Yu Yun began to sell well in video stores. I don't know whether it is because the Three Gorges has once again become the focus of Chinese people's attention or because people have been waiting for the silent film Legend for too long. The discussion about Wushan Yu Yun has gradually increased.

We can see in the film that in the background of the hero and heroine, there are always several surveyors walking around with surveying and mapping instruments on their backs. At that time, the water level of 135 meters seemed to be a distant figure for the Three Gorges people. However, Zhang Ming reminds us that it is inevitable that the Three Gorges will disappear soon. High in the canyon where Zhang Xianmin plays the signalman Mai Qiang, the State Council's Premier Li Peng announced the official start of the Three Gorges Project. The news is being broadcast on TV, and the viewing effect is not satisfactory. It is meaningful for Zhang Ming to bid farewell to his hometown Three Gorges in this way.

When Zhang Ming was a child, he lived by the closed Three Gorges, and it took him a long time to see a ship passing by. That was in the 1960s, when passenger ships had a flight every three days. Before the window was high, he often looked at the Yangtze River through the window, as if he were framed in a frame. It is hard to imagine what the world outside the box is like. But he is still full of expectations for the outside world, which was realized in the movie Wushan Yu Yun when he was 34 years old. The English name of the film "InExpectation" ("in expectation") accurately summarizes his feelings.

Mai Qiang, a taciturn navigator at the signal station, Chen Qing, a waiter at the cyclamen hotel, and WU GANG, a policeman who is about to get married at the police station, live in almost the same closed environment, No.3354 Xiajiang. Their life is dull, and everyone can't grasp the direction and direction of life. Mai Qiang and Chen Qing have never met, and WU GANG's bride has never appeared on the screen. However, an exaggerated corruption case linked three unrelated people. This connection shows a certain contingency, and also proves the infinite possibilities of life, including the occurrence of miracles, including the existence of dreams, expectations and love. Moreover, it is by no means an unattainable myth. The infinite possibilities of life have changed the original lives of Mai Qiang and Chen Qing. Their instinctive resistance and behavior beyond ordinary life led to the arrival of a new life (and of course brought them some trouble).

1030 10 is Zhang Ming's first film, which can be said to be a blockbuster. He won eight international awards, including the Best Film Award at the Turin Film Festival in Italy, and was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival Youth Forum 1996. "Humble customs and life also have lofty spiritual pursuits, and ordinary people can also write great humanitarian masterpieces." This is what Zhang Ming said. In Wushan, Yu Yun, he also conveyed such rich humanistic information and care to us. This is a clear film, but also a very subjective film, a film with real illusion. Yuan Zhen's famous Tang poem "Once the sea was difficult for water, it was always amber" became the footnote of this film intentionally or unintentionally. Zhang Ming put a simple love story in the specific area of the Three Gorges, but he was not satisfied, or did not let his films fall into a state of amorous feelings. Instead, he reassembled an "objective reality" with the image world of experience time and space. Zhang Ming used a lot of ready-made cliches (the way the hero eats, the way he talks, etc.). ) to show that movies can get rid of the long-standing mediocrity and have not come to the end of the road. So he conceived such a film with a three-stage structure suitable for Wushan Yu Yun. Perhaps, the intersection of Chen Qing and Mai Qiang will not have any decisive change in WU GANG's life, but we must not ignore the existence of WU GANG. WU GANG's setting represents the omnipresence of power, and sometimes even appears in a very friendly manner, embracing us and tolerating us. China's film creation also faces such problems. We are bound by traditional film stereotypes, and a large number of "mainstream" movies that lack innovative spirit can't really impress us.

Some people accuse China's new generation of directors of being narrow-minded and narcissistic, and Zhang Ming's films undoubtedly refute this argument. He expressed his concern about the living conditions of the people in China by revealing the living conditions of these ordinary people near the Three Gorges. He filled his passion and thinking with such attention, and he used his own order to construct and run through the whole film.

0030 10 is not just a clear movie, it involves you, me, him, hidden inner expectations and unspeakable desires.
