- What movie is the best-selling right now? - "Fist plus pillow"
"Fame and Fame", originally titled "The Birth of a Movie" (a tribute to the classic of film history - "The Birth of a Nation"). Therefore, the core of his story is precisely, "the director made a movie to tell the director to make a film to metaphorical truth to metaphorical reality." Understood under this condition, the pungency of many lines is self-evident:
"When you are young and red, isn't it just a kung fu outside the play?"
Deng Jiajia's "Tang's Performance Method" is particularly eye-catching
"With this acting, won't I become a vase?" "If you can change, you won't always make bad movies"... Any sentence that can be said on a variety show such as "Director Please Advise" and "Actors Please Take Place" can simply set off an earthquake in the entertainment industry.
Dare to say can say, let the audience will smile, is a highlight of this film.
This is a dividing line
During the Republic of China, a group of frustrated filmmakers were summoned to a mysterious place, and when they participated in the script of a movie, they found that the consultant was the murderer. Several filmmakers have different attitudes and goals. The facts of the case are full of doubts, and behind the scenes there is an ulterior truth. They don't know whether to make everything public or remain silent...
Here we have to mention the "trailer scam". Here's what the trailer says:
This is easy to mislead everyone into thinking that they are looking for the murderer
Xiaobian thought it was a murderer in the chamber of secrets
Liu Xunzimo and the screenwriters cleverly chose to be better at finding motives than to reason and dig up murderers. Therefore, the development of the overall plot is very unexpected, and there are surprises at the beginning, which directly raises the expectation value.
Core trick – interference with the side. Similar to the technique of the case in "Detective Chinatown", "Fame and Fame" also inserted the "French Doctor's Shredded Corpse Case" in the "Three Old Cases". The most amazing thing is that they (also equivalent to Qi Leshan) successfully misled the audience (the protagonist group), merged the investigation, and finally succeeded in creating the biggest reversal of the whole film at the end of the film - the two cases have nothing to do with each other. It's fun to save the suspense until the last moment.
Good at it – object metaphors. This painting is not only an important prop to promote the development of the story, each character on the painting also hints at the final fate of the protagonist group. On the one hand, it is a metaphor for Qileshan, who after killing the three big men in Shanghai Beach, calmly waiting for his end like the painting of Saldanapal; on the other hand, this painting also reveals the motive of Qileshan's killing, and the three big men are also Sardanapal. If you analyze the actions of the protagonists during the climactic plot frame by frame, it just makes up this world famous painting.

In addition, the official poster is also quite meaningful. Interested partners can analyze these poster character silhouettes after watching the whole film against the character personality.
@Movie Notes
The surprise of the shooting - the details exploded. In the reversal of the continuation of the previous "Wanhe System", this film is filled with excellent detail clues that are indispensable for a suspense drama. For example, the opening chapter talks about Qileshan raising horses with thick calluses on his left hand, but when given a close-up, he eats and smokes with his right hand, naturally throwing out questions and naturally leading to the next reversal, and the key to suspense is just right. In addition, invitations, business cards, newspapers, and many small details are connected to make the story continue and close, which is very tense.
This orange is also an important prop, hinting at the relationship between Qileshan and Nightingale
Sublimation theme - human truth. The protagonist group of this film: Yu Entai, a bad film director who loves to be in the limelight, selfish and selfish, loves vanity, but is clearly distinguished from right and wrong, and has full character scores; Yang Haoyu, the top stream of the silent film era, the lonely person in the sound film era, usually can only rely on playing mahjong with Mrs. Kuo; Deng Jiajia, a popular screen actress, played by Deng Jiajia, is not imprisoned by her husband; Yin Zheng, a journalist film critic who is frustrated in the workplace, knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm; the little policeman played by Qin Xiaoxian, who will not shoot and fight straight, But there is a sense of justice to stick to the bottom line; returnees, Hollywood martial arts stand-ins for the outside strong, and the spiritual victory method of Ah Q; the boss, the desperate outlaw; the boss, the bloody murderer with deep love. These people are all previous frustrated people who need this movie to "make a name for themselves"; they are all full of justice and guard the goodness of their hearts. Therefore, the core of this film lies in "promoting goodness" rather than the "punishment" of general reasoning suspense dramas.
The king chose to give up his life and let the nightingale go free. This fairy tale is actually the story of Qile Mountain and nightingale. The excellent acting skills of the two actors and the clever metaphors of the screenwriters make the image of the characters more three-dimensional and full, and the human touch of the whole film is touching and resonates with the audience.

The film's excellent reversal and massive and rich details give the audience a broad imagination space.
The first ending, what ordinary people in the movie saw: Qi Leshan killed the three elders and crushed the girl.
In the second ending, the protagonist group sees: Qi Leshan kills the three elders, rescues the girl, becomes the "person who steps on the fire seedlings", and sacrifices his life in exchange for the freedom of the nightingale.
The third ending, brain-opening (whimsical): Nightingale does not exist, or has nothing to do with the case. Just as the "Three Old Cases" and the "French Doctor's Corpse Case" are forcibly connected in this film, Nightingale only exists on the voting paper on the scene and in the conjecture of the protagonist group. At the end of the film, the outstretched hand of screenwriter Lee Ka-fai did not shoot at the girl, and all the reasoning did not form a closed loop at the end. And the illogical key point of the whole film is precisely above the role of Lu Ziye: a character who can save the death row prisoner who killed the "three elders" can only sell his property and buy a murderous house? Eager to turn the tables and break the boat in one move, but only find a few lonely screenwriters, actors and directors? The emphasis on "boat" all the time, but eventually led to the protagonist group buried in the belly of the fish (eventually the film of the sea was rinsed but no one received it)? The three elders control the economic lifeblood of Shanghai, but is it really worth using the people of the Nanjing government in order to shield the three dead people?
In addition, Qi Leshan said that he only wanted to tell a seamless story, killing for money can be a story, killing for nightingale can be a story. Why does the Nightingale only appear in the nightclub of the Three Elders? Ming Mingqi is a thug in a nightclub, and he has helped her stop the disciples before, but he waited outside the door when he was three old? Neither Qi nor Nightingale had serious wounds, so who was the blood in the vent? Qi is the real "screenwriter", and the crew members just followed his introduction and unconsciously performed the play of "making a name for him" for him or the Nanjing government. As Lu Ziye said: This play must be obtained. (Excerpt from Weibo @ Otter Quiche)
Lu Ziye's shadow is the one who manipulates the marionette
In addition, the official poster is also suspicious. In the end, why did the Men in Black know they were making related movies here? Did someone tip the news? When Lu Ziye knew that Qi Leshan was a member of the military, was his reaction too calm? Just like Judas in The Last Supper, Lu Ziye should be that Judas.
Therefore, the real truth is that Lu Ziye and Qi Leshan joined forces to get rid of the three elders who had a dark deal with the military, and it was through this gang of "rabble-rousers" that they perfectly achieved their goal and finally achieved "stepping on the fire extinguishing seedlings".
It's like The Last Supper.
Pros: (1) The rhythm is just right. The inverted details of the whole film lay the groundwork for the combination of bearing and turning. Especially the climactic clip of the final confrontation, the camera switching process, the action to the end, so that the audience always hangs a breath (at least I am), fiercely pinching the atmosphere of the whole scene.
(2) The suspenseful atmosphere is full, and the reversal details are in place, which makes the audience addicted.
Disadvantages: (1) There are some hard wounds in the script. For example, a film critic knows so much about casino insiders, and the characters push the storyline simply and directly, comparable to Sherlock Holmes. Although the mutual disclosure of the middle has enriched the character group portraits, it still has not completely got rid of the face.
(2) The stage is too small, compressing the movie into a drama, which seems a little contrary to the big screen.
Summary: Flaws are not hidden. Like the filmmakers in the film, this film is an adult fairy tale like the fairy tale of The King and the Nightingale. The story is precisely the second, and the metaphorical reality is far more interesting and meaningful than the story.
Liu Xunzimo, an outstanding actor during the "Wanhe Tianyi" period, directed and starred in the web drama "Report Boss". This is also the second cooperation between Han Han and "Wanhe Tianyi". Compared with Han Han's artistic director in the debut film "Never Expected" by Beast Yi Xiaoxing, the effect of serving as a supervising producer this time is extraordinary. No wonder Yi Xiaoxing laughed at himself: "But Zimo's debut is much stronger than his own (debut), it seems that when the producer and art director contribute differently, I regret that I didn't add more money at that time." ”
"Fame and Fame", looking back, is exactly the "Fame and Fame" of Wanhe Tianyi. After experiencing the big movie of "Never Expected" that did not reach the passing line, to the calm and conservative "King of Bathing", which got a passing score of 6.0 and passed the box office, this time "Fame and Fame" is exactly the perfect cinema turnaround.
As of press time, the box office has exceeded 500 million
Zimo refuel, Wanhe refuel! Looking forward to your next work.
