Is it really that hard to make a movie? Does making a good movie have to be a big investment and a big production?
Recently, a small-cost but particularly influential film has become a dark horse for domestic films in 2021 - it has only been released for six days, and as of the time of Zhixing's writing, the box office has achieved a beautiful result of 197 million, which is really amazing!
This dark horse is the first film supervised by Han Han, the first one directed by Liu Xunzimo, and the movie "Yang Ming Liwan" starring Yin Zheng, Deng Jiajia, Yu Entai, Qin Xiaoxian, Yang Haoyu, Zhang Benyu, Chen Minghao, and Kodak.
"Fame and Fame" is actually a film borrowed from the past to satirize the present. The story takes place during the Republic of China period, and tells the story of a group of unsuccessful filmmakers who have always wanted to make a blockbuster and acclaimed movie to enhance their popularity and influence. Coincidentally, just when they were looking for materials, a suspenseful murder case occurred with great influence, so these filmmakers saw the opportunity to make a name for themselves, and they wanted to review this murder through the movie at once, hoping that the box office could be sold out, which would not only reap the return on investment, but also attract better investment.
Action begins with a clear purpose. So the screenwriter who turned from a reporter to a screenwriter played by Yin Zheng, played by Yu Entai, a down-and-out director who only blindly catered to the needs of the market and made bad films, Guan Jingnian, a well-known silent film actor played by Yang Haoyu who was abandoned by sound films, and Su Mengdi, a popular female star who had to temporarily return from the comfortable environment of her husband's godson to earn money to support her family, gathered together, and everyone held a film planning meeting in a villa and began a thrilling re-shooting. They bet their tomorrow and future on this movie, and want to use the success of this movie to make a comeback.
However, what everyone did not expect was that in the process of exploring and reviewing this suspenseful murder case, they found that the complexity of the truth behind this case was beyond their imagination. Suddenly, step by step, they were caught in a huge puzzle. And the murderer is among them.....
As for how complex the story is, how humorous and thrilling the plot is, confusing and interlocking, please forgive Zhixing for not revealing it in detail. Spoilers are immoral, which will seriously deprive you of the pleasures, desires and mysteries of the film's story.
In general, the creation mode of this film is still relatively new, while using the traditional "brainstorming" mode to reason and interpret the story, it also borrows the lines of each filmmaker in the film to reflect on the value and significance of the film - truth-seeking, the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty!
The production cost of "Fame and Fame" is low, the scene is not so grand, and there is no dazzling and frequent shifting and switching, but the careful arrangement of the plot and the careful performance of the actors have won the praise and recognition of the audience. Zhixing also found that many of the audience's post-viewing testimonials were more consistent in their evaluations: although the filmmakers in the film each have some shortcomings and faults, it is such an ordinary little person who can stand up at the most urgent moment to guard the justice and kindness of the world, shining the light of ordinary people at the bottom of society.
After the release of the film, the box office performance is eye-catching, and the Douban score is also as high as 7.6 points, which is also a high score in this year's release films. According to Maoyan's review, it is conservatively estimated that the final box office of "Fame and Fame" is at least 430 million. In this way, the return on investment of this film is quite high.
"Fame and Fame" is the first time for director Liu Xunzimo and producer Han Han to touch the film, and having such amazing results is enough to prove that as long as excellent screenwriters and excellent directors work together, whether it is a TV series or a big-screen movie, it is not a thing, as long as the small cost can also produce big results.
For Deng Jiajia, who plays the heroine Su Mengdi, her performance in the film is still full of style, wearing a tight cheongsam that fits in, showing us what is the style of that old era.
Deng Jiajia, who graduated from the Communication University of China, has a good figure, good looks and better acting skills. In 2010, because of starring in the role of "Little Aunt" in "Love Apartment 2", she became popular all over the Internet, she conquered the audience with superb acting skills, and then starred in "Love Apartment 3", and her acting skills and reputation jumped to a new level.
In 2013, Deng Jiajia starred in the crime suspense movie "Witnessing the Whole People", and her wonderful performance also made the audience realize that Deng Jiajia's performance stage is not limited to TV dramas, and Deng Jiajia's role shaping is not limited to the "little aunt" of urban white-collar workers, and her development space will be greater. It is also because of "Witness of the Whole People" that Deng Jiajia won the "Best Supporting Actress award at the 32nd Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards".
In 2017, Deng Jiajia participated in "Undocumented Crime", in which Deng Jiajia played the role of Zhu Huiru, and his acting skills were open throughout the show, which became the biggest highlight and surprise of this TV series. Because of the setting of the character story, Deng Jiajia has many crying scenes in the play, and she has touched countless audiences with her superb and free crying scenes.
Her crying drama is also known as textbook crying acting, which is used in many teaching demonstration cases of acting courses. Therefore, some people lament that the Chinese film industry owes Deng Jiajia a queen laurel, and perhaps it is not impossible for this film to make her a film queen?
What do you think about that?
