《祥和的天神》幕后故事
Better Angels - Behind the Scenes
“我把中国和好意思国看作两个不同的部落,隔着大片水域的灌木丛,相互关怀着对方,相互也齐不明晰河的对岸究竟在发生着什么,河对岸的那些东谈主到底是敌是友。”“我觉适应前是轮到中国讲故事的时候了。全世界好多国度齐狭隘所谓崛起的中国。这并不因为中国事一个威迫,只因为他们不了解中国。”“中国不是敌东谈主。努力让14亿东谈主民过上更好的活命,她正在作念任何一个国度齐会作念的事情来开脱清苦。”“如果全球最大的两个超等大国能够相互开诚布公,能够在一些互利共赢的事情上合作,靠近折柳的时候能够尊重相互的互异,不仅仅中好意思两国会受益,全世界的日子齐会好过一些。”※ 以下是演讲内容节选:
柯文念念:《祥和的天神》幕后故事
@ CDF TALK
人人下昼好!
今天我想给人人讲一下我的电影,这部电影叫作念《祥和的天神》,是我在6年前也便是2013年拍的,阐述的是未来中好意思考虑。2013年,中好意思之间依然有一些垂危考虑了,好意思国国内也在泛泛计划如何粗鲁中国的崛起。我不是一个中国巨匠,我不会说普通话,不是一个学者,也不是一个政事家。但我是一个制片东谈主。我的使命其实便是阐述东谈主的故事,我认为通过更多关联故事、更泛泛的事实,也许能让人人去了解更多之前不了解的事情。然而,在刚开拍《祥和的天神》的时候,我犯了一个雄壮的失实。我没用讲故事的样式,而用了和巨匠对话的样式,和博闻强记的政事家、银行家、经济学家对话,其截止像恶梦相同的倒霉。我很快刚硬到我的电影像是作念成了一个电台节目,让东谈主昏头昏脑。因为它很无趣,莫得人命,莫得灵魂。我即刻停了下来,再走运转构念念。我合计最好的方式是透过表象、从东谈主类学的角度拍摄这部电影。我把中国和好意思国看作两个不同的部落,隔着大片水域的灌木丛,相互关怀着对方,相互也齐不明晰河的对岸究竟在发生着什么,河对岸的那些东谈主到底是敌是友。道理的是,六年往日了中好意思之间当前似乎依然如斯。《祥和的天神》是由好意思方出资拍摄的,这个片子也主淌若为好意思国不雅众拍的,为什么?因为我认为其实中国东谈主对于好意思国的了解要比大多数好意思国东谈主对中国的了解要多得多。为什么会这么?我合计某种道理上这是一种传颂。传颂好意思国的宣传机构、好莱坞电影、电视、出书物以及活跃的学术文化活命。青萆橾在线视频我来自英国,但我从小是在好意思国的电影和电视的奉陪下长大的,是以我认为我相等了解好意思国。我想咱们齐认为我方了解好意思国。这很棒,确认好意思国东谈主讲故事的智力相等强,中国在这方面就略有欠缺。然而在当前这个时期,当世界极度地需要了解你的时候,中国需要在先容我方方面作念得再好一些。你看几百年来,好意思国在这方面作念得很好。我觉适应前轮到中国讲故事了。咱们但愿通过《祥和的天神》这部电影尝试去均衡这种信息折柳称的问题。固然,这个时候不太好络续去阐述这部影片,因为你们可能齐莫得看过,显明此刻我也不太可能让你们看全片,然而不错看一下预报片。这是咱们制作的诱惑好意思国不雅众走进电影院的预报片。咱们先来看一下这个。然后再来络续计划。人人有莫得在影片终末听见基辛格先生的话?咱们会靠近梗阻吗?基辛格先生说会的,如果我作念了这部电影的话。这并不是他的原话,然而他梗概便是这个意思意思,他说我可能会被威迫,可能会被批判,可能会被搁置。
确切这个便是我拍了这部电影之后的待遇。我被称作好意思国的卖国贼。尽管我是个英国东谈主。
是以很彰着的中好意思之间有一个很大的问题,咱们必须要对当前的情况作念出一些改动,这亦然为什么我拍了《祥和的天神》,我但愿至少能够给好意思国东谈主掀开一扇窗户,去不雅察这锐利攸关的两国考虑,了解我方,了解中国东谈主民。
于是就有了这部电影。
这个东谈主是麦蒙·玛塔,他是来自于得克萨斯州的老诚,一位橄榄球考验,他到中国来找使命。
咱们在上海的时候拍了他,他在学校里涵养生好意思式橄榄球,中国的学生们很心爱他,他连气儿两年被评为年度最好教师。
麦蒙让学生们相识到好意思式橄榄球的中枢是要像一个团队相同去念念考,况且合作,这个便是团队合作。等他的学生们踢完橄榄球回到教室,他们会把这个念念维以及合作方式带入到他们的学习当中,这些学生的收成齐提高了。
儒家的援救体系强调的是个东谈主的隆起和建立。麦蒙的学生们之前从未被饱读吹要相互合作。这么一个浅易的翻新,对于他在德州的学生来说可能是习以为常的,然而却在中国粹生这里产生了雄壮的变化。他的隆起发达使他得以升职加薪,他的中国太太也相等地欢笑。
影片的后头,咱们还讲了一个东谈主的故事这个东谈主叫李绵军。
他从小便是一个数学神童,他一直注重算盘,这个永恒以来被更多的哄骗在店铺中的,有着悠久历史的来自中国的估计器用。
李先生发现算盘其实不错用来解说数学,越过是教小孩子。而且孩子们会学得相等好。咱们对此有些怀疑,咱们就和李先生来到了洛杉矶。
咱们带着他和他的算盘来到了洛杉矶中南部,一所西班牙裔学生为主的学校。这个地区相等清苦。
截止相等惊东谈主hongkongdoll,不到两个小时,七岁的孩子就学会用算盘来科罚复杂的数学问题。
我数学很差,我多但愿我小时候能有这么的涵养设施,这很了不得。这件事令我叹服,但愿对不雅众来说亦然这么。咱们西方东谈主常常齐很难让咱们的孩子对数学产生兴致,用这个陈腐的中国发明大略能劝服他们。
这两个对于援救的故事是想要指示咱们的不雅众,中好意思齐不要摆布这些好的创意,而且如果吹法螺的话,咱们能够相互学习相互受益。
我拍这个电影犯的第二个严重失实是,我以为我拍摄阐述中好意思的电影就细目主要在好意思国和中国两地拍,事实讲明我错了。
当我运转拍摄的时候,我莫得刚硬到中国依然是一个全球大国。要准确地评价本日的中国,咱们必须要走遍全球去了解中国着实的面庞。去了解中国的真实面庞。
这对我的投资东谈主来说瑕瑜常倒霉的音问,我合计他们毫不会谅解我,然而天主保佑他们,他们照旧络续给我投资了。于是咱们到了非洲、到了中东、穿越了欧洲。
我给人人讲一个小故事。
在埃塞俄比亚的一个地方,在哪里咱们际遇了保旺礼先生。
他是又名中国的工程师,丝袜美腿图匡助当地在青尼罗河上游建造一架当作交通要谈的桥梁。那是个相等远处的地方。
26岁的 保先生依然成婚并有一个女儿,但他从没见过。
内助分娩的时候他没能在身边,而且由于地处偏远,他一周只可给内助打一次电话。
保先生在埃塞俄比亚的任期是3年,现实上他待了5年,只在18个月的时候回了一次家。
他和他的家东谈主吹法螺收受这种点燃。因为对一个年青的工程师来说,在非洲领到的薪水会比在中国要高好多。
咱们向好意思国东谈主阐述保先生的故事,并不是因为他很迥殊,相悖,是因为他很世俗。
中国鼎新通达以来的40年里,有着数不清的像保先生这么的故事。
数不清的家庭日东月西,4000万留守儿童只可随着爷爷奶奶长大。他们的父母亲在城市里寻找使命,但愿取得更好的活命。
咱们在西方能看到或听到一些对于中国的超卓变革,但大略咱们无法充分了解中国东谈主民为此付出的雄壮代价。所有的这些撑起了中国的经济崛起。《祥和的天神》便是但愿能够把中国东谈主的面庞、中国东谈主的故事展示出来,网友自拍偷偷色以促成两国间更好的瓦解。尽管在西方,有一些东谈主还在勤劳妖怪化中国。调侃的是,咱们也刚硬到中国东谈主和好意思国东谈主其实在本色上是相似的,尤其是说到翻新、贵重、创造力、开垦精神,毫无疑问,这两个国度在全世界齐是跳跃的。咱们花了三年的期间来拍摄《祥和的天神》。拍摄刚驱散的时候,收到了一个好天轰隆般的音问,特朗普成了好意思国的总统。更倒霉的是他竣事了竞选期间的承诺,对中国聘请愈加脑怒的态度。在这个特朗普时期,咱们手上居然有一部奥巴马时期的电影。想想我之前提到的那些投资东谈主,他们这个时候很惊悸。咱们必须再来一遍。固然,不可从新运转,但咱们需要再行调遣,让它相宜这个新时期并能保抓话题性。让我出东谈主猜度的是,很奇怪,特朗普总统相等执着于中国。他接续征收越来越多的处分性的关税,这使得咱们这部依然六年的电影在当前看来仍然是一部契合时期并有话题性的电影。我承认我并不是特朗普总统的支撑者,但我合计欠他一个情面。因为每当他启齿话语,似乎齐是在为咱们的电影作念宣传,而咱们还无用付给他钱。是以,在这几年的环行世界去拍摄这部阐述大国考虑的电影的经由中,我有哪些视力和不雅察,又得出了什么样的论断呢?率先我认为不应该把中国视为敌东谈主。努力让14亿东谈主民过上更好的活命,她正在作念任何一个国度齐会作念的事情来开脱清苦。逾期的国度老是但愿通过任何可行的方式上前追逐,这没什么可被质疑的。中国从海外学习到了好多翻新、发明、技艺,这没什么可被申斥的,这是不错瓦解的。一个国度要发展、要转型,他还能作念什么呢?而在19世纪末20世纪初的时候, 全球的知识产权的“窃取者”又是谁呢?谁能猜到?好意思国曾经谈笑自如地拿来目的的使用、改良来自英国和西欧的技艺。如果好意思国和中国能够首肯在平正的环境下竞争,他们应该络续谈判,改善交易法规,实现互利共赢,而不是发动这场莫得任何赢家的交易战。其实中国事好意思国不对等加重的替罪羊,经常被指控抢走了做事契机。其实并不是中国东谈主把做事契机抢走了,这些决定是由好意思国作念出的,是由但愿保抓竞争力的好意思国工场主们作念出的。《祥和的天神》中咱们也呈现了俄亥俄州中西部的那些工东谈主们发生了什么。所有哪里发生的事情当前也发生在中国工东谈主的眼前,他们也靠近着竞争和安闲。使命契机流向了劳能源更便宜的非洲和东南亚国度。刻薄的事实便是,全球化对于它的受害者来说是相同的。在拍了《祥和的天神》之后的当前,我不是亲华分子,我也不支撑现任好意思国政府的“惹是生非”,然而我支撑中好意思之间能够和平共处,因为在我看来这是最基本的知识。如果全球最大的两个超等大国能够相互开诚布公,能够在一些互利共赢的事情上合作(举例阵势变化),靠近折柳的时候能够尊重相互的互异,不仅仅中好意思两国会受益,全世界的日子齐会好过一些。是以我觉适应前好意思国东谈主应该更多地来了解中国这个神奇的国度和他的东谈主民,而且给以中国应有的尊重。西方有好多东谈主依然狭隘中国的崛起,然而咱们应该要记取,中国其实不是在崛起,而是在恢复。往日五千年,中国文化对于全东谈主类的时髦齐是作念出了雄壮的孝敬的。往日的四十年中,中国依然把我方打形成一个具有全球竞争力的科技强国,中国东谈主民有事理为此感到自爱。我但愿在未来的几个月、几年当中,默默能够占据优势,暂时的梗阻能够得到科罚。当两国能够针织、互利的合作的时候,咱们细目能从这个私有又超卓的国度取得更多益处。感谢人人!Good afternoon, everyone. And let me first say a sincere thank you to CDF for asking me to be here.Um, but I want to tell you a little bit about a film that I was approached to make. A little while ago, 2013, so six years ago now, the film is called ‘Better Angels’. And it's about the future of the relationship between the United States and China.Tensions in 2013 had been developing for quite some time, and there's a great deal of discussion in the States about what they were going to have to do about the rise of China.So, um, back then I was no expert on China. And I have to confess that I am still no expert on your country. I don't speak mandarin, I’m not an academic. I'm not a political scientist.I'm a filmmaker. And to do my job, what I need to do is to tell stories about people, which hopefully will have some relevance, some wider truth, and maybe kind of have some access to some realizations that you know unknown for people.However, when I started making better angels, I made a big mistake because I didn't start by, looking at telling stories. I started by talking to a lot of experts. I talked to political scientists, to bankers, to economists, to all kinds of academics, in book-filled rooms. And it was a nightmare. It was awful.And I realized very quickly that I was making a film which was kind of like a radio show with a light on. It was a guaranteed cure for insomnia. Because it just wasn't interesting. And it didn't have a pulse. It didn't have a heart.So I stopped and I went back to the drawing board and I decided that the best way to even begin to scratch the surface of the subject was to make an anthropological film to look at China and America as if they were to tribes two alien tribes, kind of staring at each other through the undergrowth across the large body of water and not really knowing how to kind of assess what was happening on the other side of the river. Those guys on the other side were they friends? Or were they foes?And interestingly, that still seems to be the operative question today.‘Better Angels’ was financed by Americans, and it was made mostly for an American audience. Why? Because I think it's fair to say that the average Chinese man on the street pretty much understands America far better than the average American understands China.Why? Because I think it's a in a sense, it's a tribute. It's a tribute to the American propaganda machine, to Hollywood to movies, to television, to a free press, to an active intellectual and cultural life.I’m English, but you know, growing up, I was raised on American movies and the American television series as a teenager. I thought I understood America pretty well. I think we all think we understand America. And, that's great. Americans have always been wonderful telling their own story. China, not so good.But one would like to think that this moment in history, when the world desperately needs to understand your country. China should be doing a better job of telling its own story. America has done it for century marvelously.I have to say, I think it's China's turn.‘Better Angels’ is our small attempt to rebalance that kind of information deficit that exists. Now, it's tricky to speak about a film that probably most of you here have not seen. So perhaps, I can start by showing you not the movie, obviously, but the trailer for the film, the trailer that we made to show to Americans to get Americans into the movie theaters. So let's just, I'll shut up for a second. Look at that, and then we can discuss it. Thank you.Oh, did you hear Kissinger at the end? If we are to clash? Henry Kissinger told me that if I made this film, I would be, um, he used more colorful language, but I will not use that language, but I will say that. He said I would be threatened. I would be criticized. I would be ostracized.Um, and it seems to be happening. I've been called an American traitor despite the fact I’m British.But it's clear that we have a problem, right? It's clear that we need to do something about the circumstances. So that's why we made ‘Better Angels’ to try and at least open a little window of insight for Americans into what this relationship had at stake and who you were, who the Chinese people were, so the film's approach.This is Memo Mata. Memo was a Texan, a teacher and the football coach who came to China looking for a job.We filmed him in Shanghai, where he'd just been voted twice teacher of the year for getting great results out of his young Chinese students by teaching them American football. Now Memo discovered the fundamentals of football, which I know nothing about.Thinking as a team working and cooperating together, what he called group work meant that once his kids got back into the class, they applied those new ways of thinking and collaborating to their schoolwork. The class work on their scores went up.In a Confucian education system where individual excellence and achievement is valued, Memo’s kids had never ever been encouraged to work together. And that simple innovation, which would have been second nature to his kids in Texas, made a measurable difference here in China. For his excellence. He was given a raise. He was given a promotion, and his wife, who was Chinese, was delighted.A little later in the film, we balance Memo story with the story of this man. His name is Li Mianjun. And as a kid, he was a Math prodigy, who developed a lifelong love for the abacus, the centuries old Chinese calculating device that was used for centuries, principally as a merchant store.Mr. Li discovered that the abacus could be re-purposed to teach math to little kids. And he could get extraordinary results. So we were a little skeptical of this. And we took Mr. Li to Los Angeles.We took him and his abacus to a largely Hispanic school in south central Los Angeles, which is a poor neighborhood.The results were amazing. In less than two hours, seven-year-olds were using the abacus to solve complicated math problems.I was terrible at Math. I mean, I would love to have had this when I was a kid, it was remarkable. It was a revelation and a compelling lesson for me. And I hope for our audience. And what can be achieved if we in the west who struggle mightily to engage our kids, to develop an interest in Math, if we could be persuaded to utilize this ancient Chinese invention.The point of these two stories, two education stories to remind our audience that neither China nor America have a monopoly on good ideas. And we really can learn and benefit from each others knowledge, if the willingness is there.A second big mistake that I made making this film was that I thought if I was making a film about America and China that I'd be largely shooting in America and China. I was wrong because what I failed to appreciate when I started making the movie was that China is a global power. And to get an accurate assessment of China today, you have to go all over the world to see how China is in the world.This was terrible news for my finances. And I don't think they will ever forgive me, but god bless them, they kept the money coming. And so we went to Africa. We went to the middle east, across Europe.And I want to tell you a little story about, a place that we went in Ethiopia, where we came across this guy called Bao Wangli. He was a Chinese engineer helping to build a desperately-needed bridge, up near the headwaters of the Blue Nile. It’s very remote.Bao was twenty-six and married with a son he'd never met.He wasn't there when his young wife gave birth. And because of his geographic isolation, he could only call her once a week by cell phone. Bao’s Ethiopian assignment was for three years. He actually stayed for five with one home visit after eighteen months.This was a huge sacrifice that he and his family willingly made, because the pay was better for a young engineer in Africa, than it might have been had he stayed in China.And we told Bao’s story to Americans, not because it was unusual, but precisely because it was not unusual. It's all too familiar to the Chinese in the past forty years since China's opening up, there have been millions of Bao’s stories.Countless families have been separated, forty million left behind children being raised by their grandparents, while their mothers and fathers are in China's cities trying to find work and money and save for a better life.We in the West see and hear about the extraordinary transformation of China. But perhaps we don't sufficiently comprehend the tremendous price the Chinese people have paid this huge sacrifice that has been made. This supported China's economic miracle.What ‘Better Angels’ was trying to do was to put a human face on the Chinese people and the Chinese experience to forge a better understanding between the two nations, despite the best efforts of some of the folks in the west who demonize China.Ironically, we came to realize that the Chinese and American people are fundamentally far more similar than they are different. When it comes to innovation, hard work, creativity, entrepreneurship, indisputably these two countries lead the world. I'm going to steal a line from Tom Friedman, who I just watched, give a lovely speech. He said America and China are one country, two systems. I wish I had written that.We made ‘Better Angels’. It took us three years. And then it came as a shock, just as we were finishing the movie when Donald Trump became the US President. And worse than that, he followed through on his campaign pledge to take a much more adversarial and confrontational stance towards China. Suddenly, unexpectedly we had an Obama era movie in the age of Trump.You remember those finances I was telling you about. They were not happy. So we had to start again. Uh, we didn't start from scratch, but we needed to recalibrate our film and make it topical and relevant for these new times.But oddly, and certainly unexpectedly to me, President Trump's continued obsession with China and his imposition of ever more punitive tariffs has meant that our now six year old movie is still relevant and pertinent. Today it's still a big story.And although I confess, I'm not a huge fan of the American President. I feel we do owe Trump a debt, because every time he opens his mouth, he seems to sell our movie and we don't have to pay him.So after years of continually traveling around China in the world, making a film about an increasingly vexed super power relationships. What insights and observations have I made, and what conclusions have I drawn?First, I feel that China should not be seen as an enemy.In trying to raise the living standards of 1.4 billion people, it's doing what any nation would do to pull itself out of poverty and privation.Countries that are lagging behind of always try to play catch up by pretty much any means that work. It's indisputable. The China has appropriated ideas, innovations, technologies from abroad. There shouldn't be any blame for that. It's understandable. When a country is transitioning out of underdevelopment, what can we expect?And who was the world's preeminent IP thief at the end of the 19th and the early 20th century? Who can guess the United States shamelessly appropriated, adopted, adapted, and often improved technologies born in Britain, in western Europe。If only China and the United States can agree on how to level the playing field, which is why they should continue to negotiate, to try to find improved trade rules, that can be of a mutual benefit. Instead of waging this unwinnable trade war, which benefits neither side.China has been made the whipping boy for rising inequality in the United States and constantly been accused of job stealing. It wasn't the Chinese who shipped those jobs to China. Those decisions were made in America, and they were made by factory owners who wanted to stay competitive.And interestingly, in ‘Better Angels’, we show that what happened to those factory workers in the mid-west, in Ohio, all across the mid-west is now beginning to happen here in China to Chinese factory workers, because they are facing competition and losing their jobs to even cheaper competitors in Africa and Southeast Asia. The hard truth is that globalization is agnostic with respect to its victims.After six years of shooting ‘Better Angels’, I'm not pro-China and I'm not pro the shenanigans of the Present American administration. But I am pro China and America getting along because to me that's plain commonsense.If the world's two great superpowers can deal with each other openly and honestly, working together on issues of mutual interest, like climate change, for example, while respecting each other’s differences when the inevitable disagreements happen. And not only will the US and China benefit, but the whole world will sleep easier.Perhaps it's time for the American people to learn more about this amazing country and its people and accord China the respect it deserves.Many in the west still fear the rise of China, but it wouldn't hurt to remember that it's less arise than it is a renaissance of a civilization that has contributed immeasurably to the sum of human knowledge for close to 5000 years. In the space of just forty years, China has reinvented itself as a technological super state that can compete with the best in the world, an achievement for which the Chinese people can be justifiably proud.I can only hope that in the months and years ahead, level heads might sooner or later prevail and that our conflicts prove temporary and resolvable for we surely have more to gain from this unique and extraordinary country when inflammatory provocation is replaced by sincere, mutually beneficial cooperation.Thank you very much.
