Before seeing the "Quirk Hero" that will be released nationwide on November 13, I was very sad in my heart, because this is the last work of Teacher Wen Qian. As the producer, producer and star of the film, he did not see his work released, and he was jealous of his talents and looked at him with sadness.
Wen Qian is a doer in the film and television circle, not only the general director of the art troupe of the "China Today" Culture and Art Center, but also a visiting professor at the Kede College of Capital Normal University. Talented, good works and others, he is very low-key. The news of his unfortunate death, many people only learned about it after seeing Zhang Junning's weibo post. Zhang Junning collaborated with him on the hit drama "Fairy Tale Half", and the two formed a deep friendship after that, often interacting on the Internet.
There are many directors in the circle who are known as "ghost talents", and Wen Qian is one of the more veritable ones. Since entering the industry in 1998, he has created many impressive characters, including Tengshugu in the TV series "Ruan Lingyu", Lu Yumin in the movie "Chen Yun in Linjiang", Wen Xianling in "Ranger Red Peony", etc. He can skillfully control a variety of different styles of roles.
"Eccentric Heroes" is precisely a work that can represent the artistic taste and style of Wen Qian. The film is directed by Wang Zhaoda, in addition to Wen Qian starring as the big villain in the film, the cast also condenses Zhang Xiaowei, head of the Benshan Media Art Troupe, Jiaojiao, a popular actress, Li Xiaobo, a powerful old drama bone, Fang Yan, an Internet celebrity, Ma Chao, a frozen age male god, and many new and old artists with both traffic and strength.
The story of the film is inspired by the world-renowned and countless fans of the Western film classic "Red Dead Redemption", and cleverly grafts the western culture of the United States into the western region of China, describing the tragic story of heroes punishing adultery and eliminating evil in the context of the warlord chaos and dangers of the Republic of China.
"Quirky Heroes" is a pure Western with a strong stylization, and the strange people frequently surprise the strange people at the beginning, and they don't play cards according to common sense. The golden gunners who carry the cold and strange taste to the end, the rough and fierce bandits who believe in the supremacy of force, the charms that have been waiting for the golden gunners to marry their boss lady, the laughter is very magical, and the characters are eclectic. A series of fascinating legends, true and false, virtual and real, unchanged is the survival law of the winner is the king, live to get rid of a gunman version of "Double Flag Town Knifeman".
With the uninvited arrival of a mysterious foreigner, the two major forces of the Liumen Gang and the Hua face gang in Hualiu Town are in a crisis of being uprooted. In particular, Liu Menjin, played by Wen Qian, is like an old fritter, playing the old scheming and fierce heart of the old jianghu, moody and bloodthirsty and belligerent. His mantra "too inflated" is always blurted out in a variety of situations, the comedic effect is great, and it has the potential to become a popular golden sentence.
Zhang Xiaowei played the golden gunner who dressed up as a pig to eat a tiger, and the "quirk" hero was full of color, and the sinister danger of the outlaw jianghu was performed for many relaxing moments. Also from Benshan's jiaojiao (Zhang Yujiao) is also very hard, starring in the "kitchen knife woman" both the hot and spicy courage unique to western women, but also the delicate and warm inner world, and a persistent love has set off the resonance of the viewer at the last moment.
"Quirky Heroes" collects many classic elements of Westerns, such as single-handed heroes, beautiful girls, all kinds of weird coffee, as well as simple and direct lines, slaughter scene atmosphere, thrilling action scenes. Being able to play with these elements, smooth and not blunt, and there are many scenes that can make people shine, is a successful attempt in the development of domestic film genres.
It is reported that "Quirk Hero" experienced three difficult months when filming in Lanzhou, Gansu Province. The whole crew not only had to endure the low temperature of minus 20 degrees, but also encountered many unimaginable harsh environments such as blizzards, sandstorms, and tornadoes. It's a carry
Everyone dreams of setting sail, the most sincere and sincere work. At the test screening, the audience watched very coolly, not only playing an average score of 9.1, but also saying that they would brush it two times after the screening. Although he recalls that Teacher Wen Qian has died young, he can't stop his heartache and sighs, but his posthumous work has obviously filled the market gap of Westerns in recent years, bringing a broader possibility to the entire domestic genre film market.
