In the audience's impression, domestic online movies have always been uneven, and crude films account for the vast majority. But in fact, there is also a series with excellent quality in domestic movies, which is "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast".
"20 Years of the Underworld in the Northeast Past" has a Douban score of 8.7 points, which is the ceiling in this series and the leader in the online drama, and the success of this online drama has also completely opened up the universe of "Northeast Past".
The newly launched online movie "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast: My Name is Zhao Hongbing" is another sequel to this series. It's just that in addition to the continuation of the IP universe, this sequel is also the return of the original cast after many years in the online drama "Northeast Past: 20 Years of the Underworld".
In terms of quality, the configuration of "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast: My Name is Zhao Hongbing" is more worthy of the audience's trust in the production team. It is also because of this that this online movie is full of highlights in terms of cast configuration. And after only 2 days of broadcasting, it rushed to the first place in the popularity list of the entire network.
Different stories, similar tastes
In fact, the reason why "20 Years of the Underworld in the Northeast Past" was recognized by the audience was because it removed the chivalrous spirit that ordinary people have always yearned for. The movie "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast: My Name is Zhao Hongbing" is a brand new story, but it still has a similar taste in style.
According to the plot, the movie tells the story of the male protagonist Zhao Hongbing, who changed his ways, finally settled down after returning to his hometown, and ran his own small business while looking for the children of old friends.
In the plot, Zhao Hongbing has made a lot of friends, and at the same time met his beloved woman, from calling the wind and rain to returning to calm, "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast: My Name is Zhao Hongbing" has less of the routine sense of the male protagonist of the cool drama, but puts more emphasis on the polishing of the psychological growth of the male protagonist Zhao Hongbing.
It's just that the more he wants to live a plain and simple life, the more unwilling he is to let him go, and when all kinds of troubles continue one after another, he still can't change his full justice and blood, or become a hero for what he loves.
"Once Upon a Time in the Northeast: My Name is Zhao Hongbing" is completely different from the story of the online drama, but it still makes the audience feel the bloody rivers and lakes.
It is worth mentioning that the advantage of "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast: My Name is Zhao Hongbing" is not only nostalgic, but also the details of the entire film.
At the beginning of the movie, Zhao Hongbing knelt in the heavy rain and roared, the whole street was empty, and only the siren in the distance made the picture feel a little more warm.
This lens, unlike the ordinary network, has a bit of a sense of instant vision of a literary blockbuster. Looking back at the whole movie, the aesthetic texture is the advantage of "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast: My Name is Zhao Hongbing" as a network university.
The first half of the movie has a sense of depression that suffocates the audience, a dilapidated house, a knocked out urine pot, and audiences who like "20 Years of the Underworld in the Northeast Past" must not have imagined that ten years later, Zhao Hongbing will fall from a "heroic" figure in the storm.
He ran all over the street, sending out children's search notices, shuttling through various ordinary crowds, as if the former glory had nothing to do with him.
In Zhao Hongbing's body, the audience can't see the vicissitudes, but in the old picture texture of the movie, all the shots the audience sees are sour. It's hard to imagine that an online movie has been made with a high-level literary and artistic texture.
In addition to the story and production aesthetics, the actors are the finishing touch in the movie.
Zhang Junhan's acting skills are amazing, and Bao Bell's style is stunning to everyone
The narrative rhythm of the film has always given the audience a feeling of arrows on the string, and the early sense of depression has drawn the bow more and more full, and all the foreshadowing is achieving actor Zhang Junhan's explosive scene, and the author's most impressive scene is Zhang Junhan and the little boy quarreling in the rain.
Zhao Hongbing, played by Zhang Junhan, pulled the little boy to teach him to learn to bear the wrong things, but he didn't expect Along to break free of Zhao Hongbing and accuse him of killing his father, and now he has to beat himself. Immediately after, Zhao Hongbing lost control of his emotions, grabbing Along's collar and shouting, "I repeat, your father committed suicide, not me."
In this rivalry with the child, Zhang Junhan's performance is relaxed, while venting his long-term depression and anger, and on the other hand, he relented in front of Along because of the guilt of uneasy conscience.
In fact, analyzing the matter itself, Zhao Hongbing can completely ignore Along, but he is very affectionate, even if it is not his own fault, he cannot stay out of the matter.
Under the shaping of Zhang Junhan, Zhao Hongbing is sincere, three-dimensional, and flesh and blood. As the soul of the whole movie, Zhang Junhan's acting skills are amazing.
Another highlight in the movie is actually Bao Bell. After the movie was launched, Bao Bell's performance was on the hot search, and he really surprised everyone with his acting skills and styling in the movie.
The role he created is different from the male protagonist, and he has the youthfulness of the drama version of Zhao Hongbing. The protagonist in "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast: My Name is Zhao Hongbing" sees the essence of fighting, killing and killing, but Xiao Shen portrayed by Bao Bell is still in the state of being stabbed by others, and he will return two knives. In one word, it is "mad dog".
Zhao Hongbing stopped him from leading people to fight in groups, saying that he was immature, but he countered that "he is mature, he is instigated." In terms of character setting, Xiao Shen is an out-and-out riffraff.
In terms of character styling, Bao Bell is absolutely amazing.
In the play, he wears low-key and simple clothes, his hair covers his eyebrows, and he has a kind of raunchy freedom.
And there is a plot in the play where Big Tiger and a gang of people want to take the little boy away.
Judging from the number of heads, Zhao Hongbing and Xiao Shen did not have the advantage, but just as the big tiger was pressing step by step, Bao Bell turned around and smashed the plate, neatly holding the sharp fragments in his hand and against the neck of one of them.
He said with an expressionless face, "Our people, you say take it away, I will keep this child today", Bao Bell's words are lazy and free, but they give people the feeling that they can pounce and bite in the next second.
In Baubel's previous screen roles, playing ugly was his main comedy style. This time the momentum is so amazing, which shows that Bao Bell's acting skills actually have a strong shaping power.
In short, in the movie "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast: My Name is Zhao Hongbing", actors Zhang Junhan and Bao Bell supported the highlight of the movie.
Of course, the movie "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast: My Name is Zhao Hongbing" has just been launched, and the popularity and reputation are still fermenting. From the perspective of the texture of the film and the shaping of the actors, "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast: My Name is Zhao Hongbing" has been filmed in the market, which once again proves that it is not a domestic online movie, and the creation of many movies is not sincere enough.
Finally, I hope that audiences who prefer action movies can give "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast: My Name is Zhao Hongbing" a chance, and I also hope that "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast: My Name is Zhao Hongbing" will achieve more eye-catching results in terms of playback volume and word-of-mouth rating.
