It is said that the entertainment industry is supreme in appearance, and some actors look mediocre, but they can rely on their own works to speak and break out of the sky.
Bai Baihe is a type of appearance that is relatively dull-looking, looking comfortable and aura, but it is not amazing. But this Shandong chick, with excellent acting skills to play a lot of roles, with a box office and word-of-mouth win-win movies, achieved the name of "box office queen". At the same time, she has also become one of the few actresses in the entertainment industry who has a total box office of more than 9 billion.
Bai Baihe's play on the big screen is quite extensive, and he does not stick to the single role of "face".
She is Huang Xiaoxian in "33 Days of Lost Love"; it is "Get Out!" Xiong Dun, a terminally ill but strong and optimistic cartoonist in "Tumor Jun"; Huo Xiaolan, a quirky demon catcher in "Catch a Demon"; and Lychee, a cheerful, sincere and full of justice policewoman from "Passing Through Your World".
"To Catch a Demon"
Bai Baihe, who can make a movie and make a fire, can be called the "box office bearer" of those years. But after 2018's "To Catch a Demon 2", Bai Baihe even "pounced" on several movies, with a general box office and a general popularity.
In the past three years, Bai Baihe's performance on the big screen has been in a state of stagnation.
Just when some people no longer have expectations for the strength of the "box office queen", Bai Baihe returned to the big screen with heavyweight realistic theme works. This is the first domestic film and television work that focuses on the safety of women living alone on November 19 - "Door Lock".
"Door Lock" is a suspenseful crime film directed by Buick, produced by Wubai, starring Bai Baihe, Bai Ke and Fan Chengcheng, and starring Wang Zixuan, Ma Yuke, Liu Huan and Liu Wei.
The movie "Door Lock" focuses on the dilemma of the living space of contemporary women living alone, and is a realistic creation of women's theme film and television. Bai Baihe, who has the title of "Spokesperson for Chick Movies", once again broke through the road of self-drama and starred in women's films with alternative themes.
The film tells the story of Fang Hui, a beautiful and weak white-collar female white-collar worker living alone, who faces the dangerous situation of "being followed", "being spied on" and "violated", how to protect herself, break through the predicament and fight against "violence".
The crew invited "Five Hundred", who is good at suspenseful crime themes, has a unique style and is very dare to shoot as an executive producer, and shoots the dangerous situation encountered by the social group of women living alone as true and powerful, profound and touching.
Bai Baihe's "Door Lock" is a remake of the Korean film of the same name.
The Korean movie "Door Lock", played by Kong Xiao Allah, the queen of Korean drama ratings, was released in 2018 and was the box office champion film of the year, with a rating of 6.9 points on Douban.
Jing Min, an ordinary white-collar worker living alone in an apartment building, finds traces of stranger intrusion in his home, and as horrific events occur one by one, a mysterious murder case is also exposed...
The Korean version of "Door Lock" is very shocking, especially the heroine finally lies on the ground and looks at the bottom of the bed, and the freeze-frame picture with meaningful eyes is impressive. It is said that after the release of this movie that year, some timid female audiences had "after-effects of watching the movie", and they had to check the bottom of the bed before going to bed.
Korean Movie "Door Lock"
The story framework of the Chinese version of "Door Lock" has similarities with the Korean version, but it has added rich layers to the plot structure, the character portrayal is more diverse and delicate, and the setting of the murderer's clues is also more plump.
In the various versions of the trailer released by the Chinese version of "Door Lock", the thrilling storyline, the metaphorical suspenseful shots, and the mysterious and dark film tones instantly bring the audience into the real scene of uneasiness and crisis, triggering unlimited reverie about the dangerous situation of the protagonist.
The stranger who follows the heroine; a hand that suddenly stretches out when the elevator doorman contracts; the doorknob is violently pulled by someone on the big night; the mysterious black shadow that appears next to the bed; the corpse that suddenly appears under the bed...
The most terrifying plot in the trailer is that after Fang Hui, who lives alone, falls asleep in the middle of the night, a man appears in her room and covers Fang Hui's mouth and nose with a veil containing ecstasy, making her fall asleep deeply. Then this man began to encroach on Fang Hui's living space unscrupulously, washed in the bathroom, and finally lay on Fang Hui's bed and shared a bed with her...
Each of the above horror scenes is "shocking" the audience's perception, making people have a creepy feeling of careful thinking.
"Door Lock" is not a horror film in the true sense, but it has been made to the level that a "horror film" should be. The visual sense is brilliant, the plot tension is full, especially the protagonist Bai Baihe's psychology of the protagonist Fang Hui is just right.
She interprets the fear, fear, and despair of a girl living alone facing a strange event to the point of no one to ask for help, and then finally breaks through the predicament and rises up to resist the different layers of emotions, which hit people's hearts and makes the audience feel a strong emotional resonance.
An actor with empathy can firmly grasp the audience's attention.
The Chinese version of "Door Lock" has set up multiple mysteries in the mystery of the murderer. The identity of the evil man is so confusing that it may not be possible to guess until the last moment of the movie.
The men that the heroine Fang Hui (Bai Baihe) comes into contact with each have ulterior motives.
Li Zong, the boss of Fang Hui who sexually harassed him, is extremely deep in the city government; Xiao Wu, a security guard with a "murderous" face, knows all of Fang Hui's information but acts strangely; the brutal and violent real estate agent, who comes to intimidate the door; Zheng Fei, a pet doctor who thinks that animals are kinder than humans, which is elusive...
"The most familiar person hides the deepest", is the mysterious man in black who invaded Fang Hui's family among these recurring men? The corpse that appeared under Fang Hui's bed, would the murderer be one of these people?
The final ending of the Korean version of "Door Lock" is good, and the ending of the Chinese version of "Door Lock" will be revealed after the release. I believe that the "box office queen" Bai Baihe's interpretation in the movie is not inferior to the Korean drama queen Kong Xiaozhen.
As a vulnerable group of women living alone in society, the safety of their living space has always been a problem that the public cares about but is difficult to solve.
The significance of the movie "Door Lock" is to expose this social problem to everyone. Through the figurative story performance, more and more people understand the survival dilemma of women living alone, triggering social attention and discussion on this situation, and sounding the alarm bell of women's self-protection.
