The movie "Antiques Bureau Central Bureau" is adapted from Ma Boyong's novel of the same name.
This movie can be said to be fateful, until December 3, the airborne finale, won 14 consecutive daily box office championships, 2 weekly box office champions, ranked second in the Box Office list of the New Year slot, and was ranked by the latecomers of "Manslaughter 2".
Xiaobian can be said to be very much looking forward to, especially this strong creative lineup, director Guo Zijian is even more horizontal in special effects scenes and directing techniques.
Due to the successful adaptation of Ma Boyong's "Twelve Hours of Chang'an" and other works, it has brought huge IP effects, coupled with the starring Lei Jiayin, Li Xian and Xin Zhilei, which is a balance of strength and popularity, plus Ge You's sitting, adding a layer of insurance to the quality of the film.
After watching the movie, Xiaobian will especially want to review the original work again, because the puzzles are interlocked, the rhythm is not delayed, and in general, it is a commercial film with a high degree of completion.
If most films can maintain such a degree of completion and quality, I believe that the future of Chinese films will be better.
(1) Raiders of the Lost Ark? Cool is a word
The story revolves around a Buddha head from the Wu Zetian period.
The wish played by Lei Jiayin and the medicine played by Li Xian are not, one in order to wash away the family's grievances, the other in order to make the family comeback, the two sides in order to find the whereabouts of the true Buddha's head, launched a treasure race.
As a treasure-hunting genre film, "Antiques Bureau Central Bureau" can be said to be a model student in this genre, with solid production, outstanding special effects, actor performances in place, rhythm in line with the habits of commercial genre film audiences, placed in the New Year slot, mainly to highlight a cool word.
Because of the cool film, holiday team building, and spending time with the family, this movie must not be missed!
The film is limited by 120 minutes, so it retains the plot of "true and false Buddha's head", deletes the complicated side plots in the middle, and makes a "Raiders of the Lost Ark" type film with clear goals and clear structure from beginning to end.
The cast is almost all acting, you sing, we appear, presenting the dispute behind the antiques.
It can only be said that your uncle is still your uncle, and there will be laughter where Ge You appears.
Xin Zhilei's performance in the TV series "Ruyi Zhuan" is also amazing to this day, and it is a beautiful existence in the movie.
(2) Truly restore the treasure hunting scene, so that you can feast your eyes
The scene of the birthday party is arguably the funniest part of the whole movie.
According to producer Liang Lin, tens of thousands of props were used in just one scene of treasure hunting, and nearly 30 were even genuine antiques transported by special personnel.
According to this, Liang Lin revealed that the key prop in the movie, the Mingtang Jade Buddha Head, was carefully created by using a combination of hand-engraved and 3D printing technology, which took 7 months to create.
The biggest attraction of the movie is naturally the treasure hunt.
Seemingly inconspicuous antiques. In fact, it is a priceless treasure, and the value of old antiques will plummet because of a little flaw.
The two male protagonists are both cultural relics families, which can be said to be in charge of the life and death of antiques.
The two sides use this to compete with the ability of stone into gold, and with the gorgeous special effect value, even if they can't understand the meaning of the book bag in their mouths, it also ensures ornamentation and entertainment.
(3) The rhythm is tight, and there is not a single waste play
One of the best things that the movie "Antiques Central Bureau" does is the rhythm.
From the beginning of the introduction of Xu Yicheng to the Japanese Buddha's head, it will grab the audience into the world of the movie, until the end, there is almost no waste scene.
For example, from the appearance of the three protagonists in the movie, we can get a glimpse of one or two.
Lei Jiayin plays The Wish, who is mixed in the city and has a poor life, but has a talent for antique identification.
At the beginning of the game, he passed a round, explaining the current situation of his life, his skill, and his cunning personality.
What's even more interesting is that there is a small reversal at the beginning, and there is also a hidden innings in this innings, which sets the tone for this movie.
Fu Gui, played by Ge You, first appeared in the bathhouse, rooted in the old gangsters in Beijing's hutongs, with a cowardly personality and a humorous aura.
However, the heart of this character is not such a cynical appearance, the movie has a reversal at the end, interested friends can go to the cinema to find the truth!
Li Xian plays a genius antique appraiser who is not a returnee, a returnee who bears the fate of the rise of his family.
It is also a scene, wearing a suit and leather shoes, personable, speaking meticulously, very decent, but in the subtleties can feel the rigor and deep concealment of this person, and it is also good and evil.
Li Xian's performance is remarkable, and compared with Li Xian's "Red Fox Student" last year, which opened the New Year file, the quality of "Antiques Bureau Central Bureau" is much better.
He can give the audience a glimpse of the subtle chemical reactions produced after the integration of traditional culture into domestic films, the rare antiques of the dynasties, the strange things, just appearing in the lines of the characters makes people's blood boil.
The characters are portrayed quickly and accurately, which is the most needed basic quality of this kind of treasure hunting film, which allows the film to spend more time on creating a wonderful story.
The film establishes a structure in the first thirty minutes, providing the basis for the characters of the main characters.
The origin of the Buddha's head explains the historical heaviness of the plot;
The origin of the true Buddha's head is unknown, and the final task of the film is also given;
The mysterious man's pursuit and interception shows that the whole story is still behind the scenes, not as simple as it seems.
In addition, director Guo Zijian's visual expression above.
At the beginning of the film, when the two of them conducted an antique appraisal duel between Wish and The Medicine, Guo Zijian used a dazzling special effects scene to visualize the identification process of Wish and the Medicine, which was impressive and also resolved the boring identification process.
In addition, there are many similar scenes, such as morse codes, copper mirror clues, etc., all of which have been very visually presented under the imagination of director Guo Zijian, as if participating in an immersive escape room!
The film's just right sense of comedy also adds a lot, imagine, Ge You + Lei Jiayin, the laughter is indispensable!
Promise me, this New Year file, just go to see the "Antiques Bureau Central Bureau", into the stock is not a loss!
