This dramatic scene surprised many people, but it happened naturally.
In the short film battle between Hu Guohan and the desert, Chen Kaige, Liu Zhenyun, Chen Sicheng and many professional film critics all voted for the desert, and in the end, Hu Guohan fell behind the desert by 4 votes.
Shu Qi sighed after seeing this result and said: I originally thought that the difference was 1 or 2 votes at most, but I didn't expect it to be so much worse.
However, Shu Qi's voice just fell, and after the 99 audience members voted on the scene, Hu Guohan counterattacked and overturned, defeating the desert that the big director and professional film critics were very optimistic about, and laughed to the end.
So the question is, what is the charm of Hu Guohan's short film, so that so many viewers can vote for him and successfully counterattack?
Emotions are given directly
Before the film began to play, Hu Guohan described his film: you can watch it as a popcorn movie.
Apparently, he released 1 message: this movie, it looks like it will be very easy.
Such a movie, the emotions are directly given, the baggage is 1 after 1, there is always 1 can reach your laughter or tears, let you laugh with the plot, cry with the plot.
For example, at the beginning, the male owner was answering the phone, and it is said that the nursing home has a net red mooncake that sells crazy, and 1 can sell 100 pieces.
The man answered the phone to ask his friend where to get the goods; while answering the customer's call, he did not blush and lied: there is a stock.
When I saw this, I couldn't help but smile, and the male protagonist made the audience laugh through a few words, and got his character setting.
In addition, in this short film, the most intense emotion is Cao Jie's dementia reaction when she is full of joy and thinks that she will see her son, and her final wish is disappointed:
Like a child, she called the nurses: sister, and then urinary incontinence.
Seeing this, I was inexplicably distressed.
Cao Jie's unusual physiological reaction brings us a very strong emotional reaction, and at this moment, I believe it will resonate with many people.
In this short film, Hu Guohan put the emotions bluntly in front of the audience, and this emotional resonance is more direct and more impressive.
The details are gripping
The details are the most moving. Many of the details in Hu Guohan's film are moving and more gripping.
The old man met Sister Cao in the ventilation duct of the nursing home. The old man wanted to slip away, but Sister Cao was watching TV.
Inexplicably moving: Sister Cao reached out to let the old man pull her, the old man paused for several seconds, saw Sister Cao's 5 fingers spread, he actually used ten fingers to buckle, held Sister Cao, pulled her into the ventilation duct.
This small detail is really cleverly handled, and the ten-finger clasp was originally a way for couples to hold hands, but it appeared here, but it did not violate the harmony at all, but made people smile.
Even Shu Qi praised: This "pull a hand" design makes people a little moved.
Good details are memory points. The design of this detail adds a lot of color to the whole short film.
The old man met Sister Cao in this way, but he inadvertently found that there were many mooncakes that his son wanted in Sister Cao's hospital room.
The old man originally wanted to steal it and leave, but he was bumped by Cao Jie.
After the 2 people discussed, Cao Jie decided to let the old man take it for free, but there was one condition: the old man must help her find her son: Cao Fude.
Old Cao really let his son go looking for him, and after finding it, he came to say goodbye to Cao Jie and said: I'm leaving!
Sister Cao's eyes were full of her own son, and even urged her: You go quickly! Sister Cao asked for the first time in a lifetime: Will you see you in the old place tonight?
Apparently, the old man who got the mooncake, the task was complete, he had planned to go. But Sister Cao inexplicably asked, will the old man leave? Will he be on an appointment?
The handling of this detail, like a scratch on the head, attracts the audience to look down. A good movie is like this, which will hook the audience to look down all the time, so that the audience can watch it like a mesmerizing.
The ending is reversed
The old man got the mooncake that his son had in mind, but Sister Cao did not see her son, and she was admitted to a nursing home at the age of 22 and never married. And the son she has been talking about, Cao Fude, is actually her father, unfortunately, he is long gone.
As big as the expectations, so much disappointment. Sister Cao was deceived, but she was also crazy.
She frantically tugged at her long braids to commit suicide; after being rescued, she treated them like children and coaxed them gently.
At this point in the story, is it the grand finale?
Isn't it true that this story is be?
But no! 1 year later, Cao Jie was discharged from the hospital, and she looked no different from a normal person.
Dressed in exquisite and generous manners, she came from the light, smiling all the way, as if she saw hope, and standing opposite her were the old man and his son.
There is no doubt that this is a happy ending for everyone.
Why is Sister Cao cured?
I guess it's companionship! Because she did not see her son dementia, she would also return to the "human world" because of the old man and his son's company.
The so-called companionship is the longest emotional farewell, and Cao Jie's recovery is the warmest answer that time has ever witnessed.
No matter how funny, nonsensical, and sadistic the whole movie is, it can't withstand the invincible charm of happy endding.
Based on the existence of the "law of the end of the peak": this perfect ending will form a pleasant viewing experience for the public, so that the audience's feelings for the whole film will be positive, upward, and pleasant.
Therefore, on the basis of "direct emotional giving" and "catching details", the law of peak finality is the icing on the cake, so there will be so many viewers who vote for Hu Guohan to help him counterattack and overturn, defeat the desert, and become the final winner!
And this short film by Hu Guohan is also the No.1 in my heart.
